Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 93: Raised Food Prices

After getting the ideal answer, Farah did not ask any more.

Muhammad and Farah did not stay here much, got on the off-road vehicle and left here.

After returning to his office, Mohammedi had a lot of thoughts in his heart, wandering for a long time, closed the door, and then made up his mind to ask Farah next to him: "Mr. Farah, do you have any concerns in your heart."

"We are both the same. If you have it, I will also have it." Farah naturally replied with a clear heart.

"The more contact with him, the more I can realize his abilities, and the greater the plan." Muhammad first sighed, then changed his voice, said: "However, I will not regret my choice because of this. It is a rare opportunity for Somalia in a century. All worries are humble and insignificant compared to their own country."

"This is the reason why I chose to cooperate with him, but if this situation develops, our cooperation is only temporary." Farah took a deep breath and said.

"Why?" Muhammad said puzzled.

"Currently, the development here needs my help, but in the future, once it takes shape, my strength will lose the qualification to cooperate with him, and then I will face new choices." When Li Lan said at the beginning, he said to form two With the pride of the armored brigade, Farah has already realized the insignificance of his strength.

"Mr. Farah, you can rest assured that he is not a shallow person, otherwise he would not choose me at the beginning." Muhammad said with confidence.

"Yeah! But the priority must be put in place. You know, the army is his." Farah seemed to point.

"At this point, I think no one can shake his position in the soldiers. Whether it is the former soldiers or those who are always adding new soldiers suddenly, they treat him as a god." Muhammad has been in the territory for several months. , He is not a fool, he can see it naturally.

"The magical Chinese, I really don't know what means he used to make these people so devoted to him, and their religious beliefs are not so powerful."

"Haha!" Muhammad said with a faint smile, "I have been with him for a long time, and I feel like I want to worship him. I can feel it seriously. This is not an illusion."

"Oh!" Farah was a little surprised when he heard Muhammad's words.

"This is not just my feeling alone. Some of my villagers have done this before. After the service is over, many people will take time to pray for him." Muhammad's face was serious and solemn. "He seems to have magical powers, attracting everyone."

"In that case, it seems that I have to feel it." Farah didn't seem to take Muhammad's words seriously.

Muhammad was trying to explain something further when a knock on the door sounded.

"Two chiefs, the commander would like to please."

Hearing Li Lan's request, the two of them did not dare to neglect, so they took a rest and went into Li Lan's base car.

And Li Lan, had already made tea and waited for the two, and Ahmed and Hoffmand were both in the living room.

"Farah, my friend, we have had a hard time, sit down quickly." Li Lan got up and greeted them to sit down.

Although it is not the first time to walk into the base, every time I enter this living room, I can feel the whole body comfort, especially cool and fresh.It seems that there is a cage between heaven and earth, which completely separates the air inside from the outside world, and is in two different worlds from the scorching sun outside.

However, the people who can come in here are not ordinary people after all. Despite their curiosity, they did not raise any questions. All thanks to the air conditioner.

"My friend, what happened this time?" Li Lan asked after helping Farah and Mohammedi to pour a cup of tea.

"There is indeed something." Farah nodded and said: "The government forces have begun to make some small movements these days."

"Oh!" Li Lan's heart moved and said: "What action?"

"Government forces are also vigorously purchasing food!"

Farah's seemingly simple answer revealed a lot of information.In recent days, the government forces have used the convenience of the port to compete with the people of Farah to grab the grain of the merchant ship docked in Bosasso.

It was called contention, but it was really messing up. They deliberately talked about buying food and took the opportunity to raise the price of food. In just a few days, Bosasso's food was rising.

And every time the price went up, the government troops stopped buying food, and when the price of food slowed down, they repeated the trick. The purpose was simple: to make Farah pay a higher price.

Those grain merchants consciously cooperated with the government forces to raise prices.This has also led to Bosasso’s food prices rising again and again.

In the past, the price of a ship of 10,000 tons of grain was nearly 10 million U.S. dollars, but at this stage, the price has increased to 20 million U.S. dollars, which is exactly twice as expensive.

Food is related to the development of the territory. If there is no food, everything will become empty talk.

At present, the territory does not have any land for planting, and food cannot be self-sufficient at all. If the population of the territory expands further, food will become more important.

"The government army's actions like this is not a situation where both sides suffer. How did he Awell have such financial resources to maintain the army?" Li Lan asked in a puzzled manner.

"Someone is supporting him." Farah said directly.

"America? Or Italy? Or France?" Li Lan said.

"It's still unclear, but the United States and Italy are inseparable. The chances of France are very small, and other countries are also very likely." Farah also doesn't know who is supporting the Bosasso government forces. And these three countries, each One is possible, but countries other than these three countries are not excluded.

Italy occupied Somalia during World War II. The Italian army did not completely withdraw from Somalia until the 1960s. In Somalia, Italy still has considerable influence.Currently, Italians are the most among foreigners entering Somalia.

The United States has always been obsessed with Somalia, and many people are active in Somalia.France also agreed to covet Somalia. Djibouti was independent from Somalia with the support of France. Even now, Djibouti is relying on France's support.Even Japan has a naval base in Djibouti.

"It seems that everyone is eyeing this." Li Lan had already prepared for this, but when things came, he realized the thorny issue. No matter who is leading the black hand behind the government army, this move has already shown. , Did not show any kindness towards him.

"If the food problem is not alleviated, we will be in a difficult situation. Therefore, I hope that your country can lend a helping hand in this regard." Farah said seriously.

Hearing Farah's words, Li Lan was very big.He certainly understands that if his country can support him, everything will be solved, but how he can get the aid of his country.Furthermore, he didn't even know how his motherland could get help.

And even if the motherland acquiesces in its own behavior, it can be said whether or not it will support itself in accordance with national policies. After all, safe development at this stage is the motherland's main development policy.The possibility of letting go of oneself is very high.

Farah and others are not clear about Li Lan's troubles. In their eyes, as long as Li Lan raises it to Zhonghua, it will definitely be resolved.This is unquestionable. Even the tanks and armored vehicles are given. Is there still that little food?

"How much grain can I buy now?" Li Lan asked after thinking for a moment.

"According to the current grain prices, our funds can still buy almost 20,000 tons of grain." Farah said.

Twenty thousand tons is not enough. Li Lan knows this very well. These are only enough for one thing.

"Do international arms dealers have any interest in our arms?" Li Lan asked.

"There is interest. There are frequent wars in Africa, and the sales of arms have always been very good." Farah said.

"If the government forces make this kind of action, if the people behind it strongly support it, we will not be able to compete with it in terms of funds, and the grain can not be interrupted. This time you go back and contact the arms dealers. Then I will I'll give you a list. We can sell everything except tanks." Li Lan has no good way now. What he can do at present is to speed up the arms trade and raise more funds to buy food.

Before Farah could answer, a report came from the gate of the base vehicle: "Report."

"Come in."

"Report to the commander, there is a team claiming to be an international humanitarian organization. They brought a large number of medical equipment. The number is more than 30. They are going to a refugee camp outside the city to help the victims. The team is currently intercepted in the territory. Outside the security zone."

"Who are these? Are there armed personnel accompanying?" Li Lan asked with a heart move.

"Almost half of the Chinese, as well as reporters, were not accompanied by armed personnel, and the group did not carry weapons."

"Let them come." Li Lan finished giving orders, then turned back and ordered Ahmed: "Send a platoon of fighters to follow them."
