Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 82: Deciding the Future Meeting (Part 2)

Regarding Farah's words, Li Lan wanted to shout: "I have no relationship with my country for half a dime."

However, Li Lan was not stupid enough to really shout out. Both Farah and Muhammad had a deep misunderstanding of him, so deep that even if he told the truth, his meaning would be distorted.

"Oh, what kind of attitude do you see my country's attitude?" Li Lan asked.

Farah Quan, when Li Lan was testing his views on the international situation, did not think much, and directly replied: "Your country has been supporting Somalia's construction work since the 1960s. Our first railway, It was built with the support of China. Although this railway is now abandoned, why the Somalis have not forgotten China's help to us.

The railway is only one aspect. There are many institutions in Bosasso, all of which were supported by China. According to my statistics, the hospital alone has supported us in more than 100 cities in Somalia.At the same time, there are a large number of schools and educational facilities, as well as a large number of public entertainment venues, such as the opera house, which were built by the Chinese with the help of the original Somali government.This is unmatched by other countries, even Italy, it is far less helpful to us than you.

It's just a pity that less than one-tenth of these things can be preserved after more than two decades of turbulence.Therefore, in the hearts of the Somali people, the Chinese have always been respected.Of the ten Somalis, at least nine out of them will give a thumbs up when they talk about China.

After I left the UK that year, I went to China for the first stop. I wanted to feel the civilization and charm of the Chinese. My trip to China made me feel a lot.

In recent decades, China has never stopped its assistance to African countries. I see tens of billions of dollars in financial support each year.In these countries, China only obtains plantation land and some minerals, and there is a big gap between the income and the paid.

In other respects, these countries’ international solidarity with your country. As one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, China will definitely need the support of a large number of countries to unite with Russia in order to compete with the three permanent members of the United States.

The world’s pie is so big. The United States has always been enthusiastic about African countries and is not obsessed with drawing in these small African countries. Your country has taken a fancy to these small countries. Therefore, your country pays such huge amounts of money every year , And often can reap no small benefits.

Your arrival has made me see a new round of actions that your country seems to be about to begin suddenly.Your country’s leadership has just changed, and ours will be your country’s key development area.Perhaps this was the foreshadowing that was laid six or seven years ago.In the northeastern corner of Somalia, in the Tara region of the Gulf of Aden near, your country’s oil companies have been extracting oil there for several years.

Our oil resources in Somalia, even the United States, are very worried about. In addition, the Gulf of Aden on the verge of being able to control the world's busiest important waterway is of great strategic importance.As long as Somalia can be developed, the strategic significance covered by it is worthy of your country's efforts.

We Somalis just want a stable life. As long as the wishes of most Somalis can be realized, even if the Chinese come to station our troops here, we are very welcome."

As soon as Farah's words fell, Li Lan was silent for a moment, and said: "Why do you conclude that I do things for my country?"

"Haha! Isn't this something obvious?" Farah smiled slightly, pointing to the weapons in the guards' hands behind Li Lan, and said: "The 97-type automatic rifle, China's export-oriented individual weapon, China's helmet and Combat boots and even combat equipment are Chinese standard equipment. Of course, these are not important, because it is not difficult to obtain these equipment in the international arms market. The Canadian Defense Group has close ties with Chinese military enterprises. Many of China’s individual equipment can be purchased in Canada. Many international arms dealers also have a large amount of this type of equipment.

Therefore, these are not factors in my judgment.I like weapons very much, and have a certain degree of research on weapons from all countries in the world. I dare not say proficient, but the level is not low.Whether it is the weapons you sold before or the weapons and equipment of these soldiers today, they have one thing in common, that is, the workmanship is very standardized, and it is definitely the product of a large military enterprise, and it is definitely not something that some small workshops can produce.

But this is not important. The most important factor is that no one will come to Somalia to develop the so-called armed forces, and it is the kind that has been carefully planned for a long time.From the first meeting, I concluded that the soldiers under your hand are definitely not some individual groups that can be trained. They all have undergone formal military training. In Somalia, I am ashamed. There is no such place.Unlike the traditional forces in Somalia, it is soldiers who pull up people.

These soldiers of yours have shown me what is called a soldier and what is called a prohibition.Whether it's looks or actions, showing that kind of respect to you is definitely not a fake.These are hard to see in Somalia. These people are Somali. I don't doubt that, because the Somali language is a very remote language. If you learn it later, you won't have such a similar accent.

And their respect for you must be brought about by long-term relationships.I used to wonder what made them respect you so much, but when Muhammad chose to be with you, I already guessed it.

If there is no country that is backing up, it is absolutely impossible to cultivate so many people silently."

"I have to say that you are a very wise person." Li Lan did not deny, nor directly affirmed, he understood that people are often like this.

Farah continued: "Actually, I had a deep conversation with Muhammad a long time ago. That was after he chose to walk with you, he told me what you said to him. Again. Do you know why?"

Li Lan glanced at the calm-faced Muhammad next to Farah, and said, "I am listening."

Farah took a sip of tea and continued: "My contact with Muhammad was five years ago, when I first arrived in Bossasso. After getting to know him for the first time, I treated him well. He likes, because every time he goes out of the city, he will bring a lot of candy. To be honest, candy may not be a big deal in your country, but in Somalia, it is a luxury. And every time he enters the city to trade After that, they would give out some money to buy some sweets and go back to the children in the village, and also teach them to read, which has been unimpeded in the past few years.

Before you came to Bossaso for the first time, Muhammad told me many things about you in advance, and I started to pay attention to you.And more than a month later, when Mohammedi came to deal with me with millions of dollars in ammunition, he told me clearly that he decided to follow you in the future, even if it is a traitor, as long as it can change the current situation of Somalis. He also recognized the face of life.And told me a lot about your territory, tell me what you think, and your policy towards Somalis.

I said this today, just to let you know that Muhammady also persuaded me many times to make me like him.Even if it doesn't work, keep a close cooperative relationship.I don't know if this is your instruction, but I still choose to believe in Muhammad.Because he and I have the same ideals."

"Thank you Mr. Farah." Mohammedi said after Farah's voice was over.

"Muhammudi has never told me this, but I also trust him very much. He is the first friend I have met in Somalia. I value our friendship very much. He considers me so much and I am very Happy." Li Lan was a little bit emotional when recalling the scene when he brought Somalia.

Regarding Li Lan's words, Muhammad nodded heavily to him, everything was silent.

"Since I have already said everything, let's enter our topic today!" Farah said.

Li Lan nodded, got up and made a please gesture, and said: "Extremely looking forward to it, but the next words are not suitable for sitting and talking. Let's talk while walking and watch the development of our territory by the way."
