——————

Today is a very special day for all Somalis.

The hot air is blown away by the breeze, the sun that is baking the earth every day, is blocked by the black clouds, the sky like ink, as if the clouds are going to sink to the top of the head, are telling people here that it is going to rain .

This is the second rainfall in the Horn of East Africa. In the rainy season last year, the rainfall has been kept near the Gulf of Aden. The rainy season has not stopped. The continuous rainfall has covered the surrounding area of ​​the Gulf of Aden with a layer of green.But this year's rainfall has covered the whole of Somalia.

The black clouds covered Somaliland and Puntland, extending to the southwest of Somalia, and the border between Ethiopia and Kenya and Somalia was also within the range of rainfall.

After seven years, the rainy season has come across Somalia.Instead of focusing on the Somali Free League ruled area called the Land of Gods as it did last year.

This year, it seems that Allah is really caring for this abandoned land, and the rain seems to be nourishing the entire land.

However, one day passed, two days passed, the cloudy day was still cloudy, and the coolness came, but the air still did not emit any moisture, and the rain just lingered.Even if the clouds are so low that they can be reached by reaching out, there is no drop of water.

The pouring rain that everyone was looking forward to, three whole days passed, and I still haven't seen it.

The instigator of this incident was naturally Li Lan.One year later, the rainy season in Somalia is coming again. If there is no weather controller this year, there will be no rainfall in most parts of Somalia.

Last year’s rainy season had two consecutive months of rainfall, which made the territories harvest quite abundant. Under strict control, the rains did not cause any disasters. The planned planting land was also fully moisturized. Throughout the dry season, the territory has been Did not face the problem of water shortage.

The water storage of the underground river and the mountain itself is still sufficient in this year's rainy season.A large number of pasture seeds were swayed out, the original desert has long since disappeared, and now it has been replaced by pasture.The rain last year not only brought abundant food harvests to the territory, but also brought great development to the animal husbandry industry.

Goats don’t have to climb trees, and herders don’t have to worry about livestock’s food. There are pastures everywhere.There are lush greenery everywhere, and the whole land is rejuvenated.Nowadays, the northeast corner of Somalia, with satellite pictures, especially the territory, has been replaced by grass green.A very special place, like an oasis in the desert, and the still-earth-yellow pictures around it, it is like a heaven and a hell.

Today, two crops have been planted in the territory. With the help of rain, after the first season of rice was harvested, spice crops were planted in the dry season.In the rainy season, it continues to be replaced with rice and corn.Somalia has always been producing spices. If it were not for the perennial drought and war, the spices here are very important income for Somalis.Because Somali spices are very valuable and very popular internationally.

Naturally, Li Lan could not abandon such traditional and valuable things. In the rainy season of this year, he once again expanded his wasteland reclamation efforts. Last year, the planting area of ​​2,800 square kilometers has expanded to 6,000 square kilometers this year. Mechanized planting, harvesting and management.

Spices are as troublesome as cotton and require a lot of manual harvesting.However, the most indispensable thing in the current territory is human resources. One-month spice harvest can not only bring great foreign exchange income to the territory, but also allow residents in the territory to get a lot of rewards.

For the remaining land, many far-sighted Somalis began to contract and open up wasteland. Thousands of square kilometers of plantable area have already been contracted out.As for the important things to be planted, the territory did not give a detailed rule, anyway, just don't leave it in waste.

Today, the total planting area of ​​the entire territory has reached 7,000 square kilometers.It is 700 square kilometers larger than the area of ​​Shanghai, China.With such a planting area, the crop harvested every year is enough for more than five million people in the territory to eat for seven or eight years.

With the grain harvested last year, five giant grain warehouses have been piled up. Each of these five giant grain warehouses can hold two million tons of grain.

Somalia's population is sparsely divided, which results in a huge proportion of habitable and cultivable area.If Somalia has enough rainfall every year, Somalia can soon become a major food producer.This is the case in many parts of Africa, especially in central and southern Africa, where rainwater is relatively evenly distributed, and now it has become a contracted food planting land for many countries.Many deserted land, land that no one cares about, has become a base rented by other countries to grow food.

If it hadn't been for the perennial drought in Somalia, perhaps it would have been targeted.Among other things, the banana crops exported by Southwest Somalia alone have created considerable income for Southwest Somalia.Bananas from Somalia are very popular fruits on the international fruit market. They are known as the sweetest bananas in the world. In the past, Somalia was also known as the kingdom of bananas, and the price was naturally very expensive.

The whole of Somalia is also only in the southwest region, which is capable of growing such bananas.This is also the most important economic source of the Southwestern country after its independence from Somalia.

In this year's time, the development of the territory has been very calm, and there has not been too much wind and waves.The arms trade of the Future Technology Group is still going on. The armed mcv mercenary company has been successfully hired several times, and the business is booming.

The forces in the territory and surrounding areas also did not offend, and other forces were also forced by the territories' strong military deterrence capabilities, and did not take the initiative to challenge.Each of them maintained a peaceful relationship.

With the trade exchanges between the territory and other countries, the foreign population in the territory has surged within a year, and many people even choose to live and stay here for a long time.Many foreigners who have been to Somalia before, once again stepped into this land, they could not recognize them.Because in this land, there are no armed vehicles running on the highway, and pedestrians have not seen any weapons. The chaotic arms market has long since disappeared.

The street is not a neat storefront, or a row of thriving landscape trees. The ground is no longer dusty, but is paved with a straight concrete pavement, and garbage is stored in planned locations.The houses are neat and tidy, the street is clearly located, and the house numbers and road signs, sidewalks, and motor vehicle lanes clearly show the neat appearance of the place.

Bossasso’s port has been expanded for more than half a year, and its daily throughput has been dozens of times higher than before. The water surface of the U-shaped bay has also undergone several desilting and deepening, increasing the waterway, allowing multiple large freighters to simultaneously Smooth out.

The comprehensive port of Bagua City, which has been completed, is also in the final artificial repair.In order to increase the throughput of the Port of Bagua City, Li Lan simply built four container loading and unloading ports together. The original four ports formed a super large port, covering an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers.It spans 12 kilometers from east to west and can load and unload hundreds of large container ships at the same time.Hundreds of professional large cargo ship berths are also arranged, with functions such as fast loading and unloading of fuel, and can also meet the loading and unloading work of large ro-ro ships and bulk ships.

The comprehensive port of Bagua City is no less than the world-famous civilian port, and its daily cargo throughput can also be squeezed into the world's top ten.To this end, after the completion of the construction of the four ports, Li Lan also spent tens of millions to integrate the connecting parts between the four ports so that they can be perfectly integrated together, widening and strengthening the road passage between the port and the Bagua City.

Because this port directly straddles the Gulf of Aden, as long as it runs better, it will inevitably become the best stop and supply point for ships in a short time.For such a huge project, Li Lan did not engage in any secrecy work, and even let the reporters of CCTV stationed in the territory follow up and report on the later construction of the port.For this reason, it has also attracted the attention of many ships, and the world’s major newspapers and media have also paid great attention to the port that is rapidly improving every day.

Many people are also very much looking forward to the opening time of this port, and at the same time expressing strong curiosity and interest in the construction of such a large port in Somalia.Some people are even asking Zhonghua, what should we do if we can't collect the capital when the time comes to aid such a huge port?

On the other hand, some military media in European and American countries showed a deep worrisome color in their words, a sour look.It is always reminding the world that this port is likely to become the first large overseas base of the Chinese Navy in a true sense.

Zhonghua did not clarify this, but just responded that this is just a normal civilian port.It can be regarded as helping Li Lan to bear the public opinion and explanation.

Russia also seemed to think of China suddenly, and was a little unbalanced, and asked Li Lan many times that Russia also wanted to help him build a port, the scale of which is so different.It's just that he has been dragged by Li Lan all the time.

Of course, the influence of this kind of thing is only ten days and a half months, after which the international attention to this place will be much less.However, European and American countries have never stopped their military development in Li Lan's territory.

The Treasury of U.S. Strategy even propagated that Li Lan's army is already strong enough to sweep over half of East Africa. I hope the whole world will be wary of China's military expansion in Africa.And reports like this pop up every time.In short, I want to tell the world about the Chinese threat theory.

Regardless of what others said, Li Lan continued to build the army as planned, because it was only four months before the first base mission.Occupying the entire territory of Somalia is not the slightest problem, but the aftermath has to be considered.

However, no matter how much resistance you face, the best way to deal with it is to improve your own strength. Everything else is imaginary.

In one year, there are already more than 400 ore refining plants in the territory, which have been successfully constructed, and 55 new technology drilling wells are also in working condition.These things are the basic guarantee for the development of the base and the focus of construction.

The port only increases the throughput of goods and speeds up the flow and circulation of trade, while the ore refinery is the guarantee of the speed of ore consumption and maintains sufficient base funds every day.With the existence of ore refiners, the amount of funds recovered by the territory's ore refineries alone has exceeded 5 million per day.

And such a value can only meet the construction needs of the navy, land, and air forces at the base.As for drilling oil wells with science and technology, Li Lan has given up using oil to convert into base funds. Today, in his territory, more than 800,000 barrels of crude oil can be obtained every day, and these crude oils can be immediately refined and stored automatically.

In the twenty months since he was upgraded to high-level authority, Li Lan has stored more than 300 million barrels of crude oil.Even if crude oil is cut off, these reserves can meet the needs of military operations in the next year or two.

Li Lan also spared no effort in the construction of military weapons. Most of the daily income of more than 5 million yuan went into the navy and air force.The first ship of the conventionally-powered aircraft carrier built 15 months ago has been docked in the military port. With the help of crack generators and circular waterways, it has not attracted outside attention.The second aircraft carrier has also been launched and is undergoing final electronic equipment debugging.In the shipyard, there are two more aircraft carriers under construction. One of them is the one promised to be given to China for free, and the other one was purchased by China at a cost of US$2 billion.

As for other warships, they are worthy of the name dumplings. With a large amount of money every day, four attack nuclear submarines have quietly sailed out of the Gulf of Aden, and two more are being built on the slipway.Two Aegis ships are launched every three months. Twelve Aegis ships have been successfully launched. As long as Li Lan is willing, three Aegis defensive strike teams can be formed.

And the multifunctional destroyers that also have a certain area of ​​air defense capability are launched every two months. Twenty-two destroyers have joined the navy.As for the sea scorpion, due to its low price and very fast construction speed, three shipyards were used, and there are now 36 ships dedicated to offshore defense patrols.

As for the big octopus and dolphins, Li Lan did not favor each other. Dolphins are an anti-submarine weapon. Especially in waters like the Gulf of Aden, they are the favorite places for submarines from various countries. The Arabian Sea and the western Indian Ocean are also a collection of a large number of submarines. Ground.

Whether it is a dolphin or a big octopus, the effect is no worse than other naval units.In addition to not having to worry about logistics, their concealment, flexibility and durability are definitely a big nemesis to enemy submarines.
