————————

Three days later, under the work of the Chinese government, Li Lan dispatched nearly 800 military trucks in one go.

Eight hundred trucks, divided into three waves, were escorted to the border of Somaliland by soldiers, and then taken over by the staff of the Chinese government. The convoy went straight to the port of Berbera.

In order to gather the trucks, all the trucks in the entire territory were emptied. During these three days, Li Lan also produced a large number of trucks, otherwise he couldn't get them together.

Zhonghua brought him 100,000 tons of grain, and these grains are currently in the port of Berbera and are transported by 100,000 10,000-ton ships. The scale is extremely large.

After landing and unloading, the problem of food delivery is what Li Lan needs to solve.

In the past, I was worried because there was no food, but now I am bothered because I have to bring the food back.Fortunately, he only needs to be responsible for dispatching the vehicles, and the Chinese government has solved other problems for him.

The grains were delivered to Berbera in the name of disaster relief, and the Somaliland government was too embarrassed to charge too many tariffs. Moreover, the Chinese government also sent a lot of grains to Somaliland to help Somaliland ease the domestic food pressure.

The food given to Somaliland was not counted in Li Lan's gift. One hundred thousand tons of food was not bad at all.

However, Li Lan was also a bit worried about the safety of this batch of food. After all, it was only a few dozen kilometers from the territory to the border of Somaliland. After entering the territory of Somaliland, Berbera had to walk more than 100 kilometers to reach Berbera. Pull.

Although it is only two or three hours' journey at the speed of a truck, this is not a small amount after all. Even if the security in Somaliland is countless times better than Puntland, Li Lan is still reluctant to take risks.Of course, he is also worried that seeing so much food, the Somaliland government will take advantage of the fire.

To be on the safe side, Li Lan specially sent his only tank battalion and two robotic battalions to the border between Somaliland and Puntland. As long as Somaliland or other forces dare to make any moves, the men of these three battalions, Will directly rush over.

Even from the tank battalion to Berbera, it only takes two hours.However, the machine camp can be reached in just over an hour.

Can Li Lan not care about 100,000 tons of grain? This is not a small sum, enough to meet the consumption of 300,000 people for nearly a year.According to international food prices, this batch of food is worth 70 million US dollars.

As long as these grains can be in place at once, Li Lan does not need to worry about grain matters in at least 300 days.This is still in the case of 300,000 refugees gathered in the territory.

As for the 300,000 tons of grain mentioned later, Li Lan also understands that the second batch of grain will not arrive soon.He will even wait for him to have the port before he can get the grain.After all, 300,000 tons of grain is not 30 tons, so you just give it.

If he does not show any strength, I am afraid the Chinese government will also consider whether it is worth the effort.Therefore, after Zeng Zhihua stated the quantity of the second batch of grains, Li Lan did not ask when the batch of grains could be delivered, and everything was tacitly aware.

Li Lan was very excited about the Chinese government's need to support agricultural science and technology talents.However, he did not immediately agree. Instead, he proposed that sending students from here to study in mainland China, which can be regarded as fulfilling Farah's pursuit.

On the same day, Li Lan called Farah and asked him to organize all the scholars under his hand to go to Berbera with these convoys that were going to Berbera to deliver food.Farah, who was so excited about this, sent more than 500 Somali university students within two days.They followed the convoy to Berbera. Under Zeng Zhihua's arrangement, they all got their passports and admission notices, and they were going to return home with Zeng Zhihua.The food and talent matters were temporarily implemented, which also made Farah, whose heart has been hanging, finally settled his heart, with a smile on his face all the time.To Li Lan is also grateful.

On the day of the departure of the convoy, which was also when Zeng Zhihua left, other members of the medical team continued to stay here, helping doctors in the territory to provide medical assistance to the refugees.

During the three days, the two often sat together and talked.In order to let the domestic gangsters understand themselves better and convey their thoughts, Li Lan also specially brought Zeng Zhihua to his arsenal.

Because he knows very well that although the 97-style is a foreign trade type, there are only a few countries that export it. If the source of the gun is not clearly stated, the Chinese government will have some ideas.

However, Li Lan did not give a good explanation. He only produced a large number of main rifles from other countries and built a multi-national brand weapon arsenal, which put the Ninety-Seven Type together with weapons from many countries in the world.

Therefore, when Zeng Zhihua saw the entire weapon arsenal, the weapons of mainstream countries in the world were all placed together.When it comes to the eye, it is a pile of full boxes: m16, m4a1, Steyr aug, Belgium fn, French famas, German g36,..., the Type 97 is just one of the many weapons, and he never asked about weapons anymore. Things.

In addition, Li Lan told him that the soldiers like to use the 97-style, and he likes it himself, Zeng Zhihua has nothing to say.

With so many weapons from all over the world, it is not surprising that there is a Chinese one in it.Before Zeng Zhihua left, Li Lan also sent a box of each weapon to his country.

And when Zeng Zhihua left, Song Yuqiang was taken away from the guy who was completely dismissed from his post. After returning to China, he was greeted by long-term closed-door thinking.

Because when he was dragged out of the territory by Li Lan soldiers, he was unwilling to report Li Lan’s attitude secretly to Beijing. He thought that he could use the state to punish Li Lan and vent his hatred. Unexpectedly, he was greeted by a direct dismissal telegram from the central government.

When Zeng Zhihua reported his behavior to the security bureau headquarters, the security bureau simply asked him to go home and think behind closed doors forever, and issued a decision to never hire.

Li Lan originally wanted this guy to stay in Somalia forever, but after Zeng Zhihua's persuasion, and after taking out the security bureau's never-hiring notice, he promised to let him go.

In the next stage, as long as the grain is in place, the entire base will enter a stage of blowout development.

As long as this stage can survive, then Li Lan can be considered a firm foothold in Somalia.

The food convoy set off in the morning. At dusk, the first batch of 40,000 tons of food had returned to the base.The remaining two batches will also be back tomorrow morning and tomorrow afternoon.

At that time, Li Lan can develop with great peace of mind. Even if Bosasso's government forces make things difficult for him in Bosasso, he will not be afraid.

Therefore, on the second day, after the grain was shipped back smoothly, Li Lan began to concentrate on developing the military again.

The Somaliland government did not intercept this nominal batch of rescue food, nor did it make it difficult to transport the food.Mainly because, in the name of rescuing the victims, Zhonghua also assisted Somaliland with 20,000 tons of food.

After the food was in place, the tank battalion and the two robotic battalions near the border returned to the territory by night.

With food and heart, Li Lan, in order to expand his influence, began to let Farah publicize his territorial righteousness in Bosasso. In the many refugee camps in Bosasso, people began to walk out of Bosasso and head to the territory.

The construction of the territory has not stopped for a moment. In the past few days, more and more refugees want to join the territory every day. In addition to wanting to make land for the new refugees, they also feel the kindness of the territory, willing stay.

In the past, the number of people joining every day was only a few thousand. In recent days, the number of people joining every day has reached tens of thousands.And this momentum continues to increase. Many tribes migrate as a whole family, and many villages migrate.

On the way from the territory to Bossaso, those small villages have been basically abandoned. Under the massive propaganda campaign, the residents of the territory have begun to explode.

Mohammedi, who is specially arranged for the residents, although he is busy every day these days, his face is always full of smiles. The exhaustion of his body brings relief to the soul.

On the other hand, Li Lan rarely goes out these days and stays in the base car all the time.Don't look at him suddenly, but he is still very busy.

The twelfth technological drilling well has been established, and the construction of the following refinery has also been completed.Today, the territory’s technology-drilled oil wells can produce 2,000 tons of crude oil a day, and the two refineries are also working round the clock.

Two of the ten large storage bases beneath the two oil refineries have now been filled up. They are all diesel oil, and those other petroleum-derived products have also been stored intact.

In particular, the jet fuel refined through high boiling point has been carefully stored by Li Lan, and these will be the main fuel for the Air Force in the future.

Today, with a refining capacity of 2,000 tons per day, Li Lan can produce 1,800 tons of fuel per day, including aviation fuel, gasoline, diesel, fuel oil, and kerosene.

Gasoline: It is the most consumed variety.The boiling point range (also known as distillation range) of gasoline is 30205°C, and the density is 0.700.78 g/cm3. Commercial gasoline is distinguished by its anti-knock and combustion performance when the oil is burned in the cylinder, marked as Xin The alkane number is 70, 80, 90 or higher.Yuda, good performance, gasoline is mainly used as fuel for automobiles, motorcycles, speedboats, helicopters, and agricultural and forestry aircraft.

Kerosene: The boiling point range is 180310c, mainly for lighting and cooking.The flame is required to be stable, bright and without black smoke.

Diesel: The boiling point range is 180370c and 350410c.For petroleum and its processed products, those with a low boiling point or boiling point range are usually called light, and on the contrary become heavy.Therefore, the former is called light diesel, and the latter is called heavy diesel.Commercial diesel is classified according to freezing point, such as 10, -20, etc., which means low operating temperature. Diesel is widely used in large vehicles and ships.

Fuel oil: used as fuel for boilers, ships and industrial furnaces.

The refining products of technological refineries are not limited to these, and there are many other petroleum-derived products, such as petroleum solvents, petroleum jelly, petroleum pitch, petroleum solvents, paraffin oil, lubricating oil, and grease.

These petroleum-derived products have played a vital role in the development of the territory.
