Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 256 The Retreat of China and Russia

ps: In the second half of the night, my stomach feels better. Fortunately, I didn't feel the pain of gastroenteritis. I got up at three in the morning and sent 6,000 words.

——————

To maintain the relationship between nations, there will always be only benefits, and everything else is imaginary.This is one of the reasons why Li Lan needs a country. After all, local powers are local powers, and they are at a disadvantage when communicating with other sovereign countries.

When Ivanovic spoke about maintaining the relationship between the two parties, although Li Lan didn't show anything on her face, her desire to reunify Somalia became more enthusiastic.If the two sides are equal and equal, then Li Lan naturally welcomes this attitude of Russia. After all, in the global environment, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

But for a country like Russia, the nature of the Rasf nation is more as long as you ask for it.Don't expect him to give you free of charge, and when accepting their kindness, you have to think that they will take more things.At the beginning, Li Lan promised that Russia would sign the agreement because he considered that he would have today.And it is absolutely impossible for Russia to face the United States because of him.This agreement will naturally not be able to continue to be implemented, and he can also use this to declare this agreement invalid.

How can someone sleep soundly on the side of the couch? The NATO military bases in Djibouti and Kenya, as well as the overseas military port of Djibouti in Japan, have made Li Lan very uncomfortable, let alone one more Russia. What he wants is land in Somalia.In his eyes, Somalia is his private property, and he will not trust Russia as a country.Li Lan would not agree to public or private.

At the beginning, Li Lan didn't want to develop faster, so he agreed to Russia, and he also had a plan to refuse at that time.Now, the opportunity has come. If Li Lan doesn't take this aside this agreement, he will become more passive in the future.

It is not that he refuses to communicate with Russia, but that he hopes the cooperation between the two sides.Built on a reciprocal basis, there is a fair basis for both parties.This is the cooperation he hopes for.

Regarding Ivanovic’s answer, he also understood that this kind of thing really requires Putin’s nod.A former superpower in the world that wants to expand its influence, Putin has been working hard for this.In the past, Somalia was too chaotic and had a lot of fancy countries, but it suffered from the need to invest too much.Cause every country to hesitate.

Today, under the construction of Li Lan, Somalia already has a very good piece of land, which is still on the verge of the Gulf of Aden.For many years, mainstream countries in the world have not stopped infiltrating this land, but they have suffered from ineffectiveness.

The significance of this location in the Gulf of Aden.All fools understand.Nowadays, there are already some people in the development, but no one is willing to give up in terms of interests.Especially Li Lan's Chinese identity will inevitably cause strong backlash from European and American countries.Whether it is oil or normal trade, there are too many ships that need to pass through the Gulf of Aden.No one can ignore this.

If it were just a normal Somali government, they would not have such a huge response, but would try their best to win over, including Russia.But for a Chinese in Somalia.He also created a brand new regime with one hand, enough to touch the nerves of all countries.

In times of peace in the world, there is not much difference at all, but as the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances, people will have good fortune, and no one can guarantee what will happen in the future.Once there is a military conflict, a country that can guard the Gulf of Aden is still a country that has close ties with China, for many countries.Fatal enough.

Today's relations between Russia and China have always been very good. The two sides joined forces to fight the United States and achieved good results, which also enabled the relationship between the two countries to develop in a better way.Therefore, the Russian side does not have too many thoughts about the occupation of Somalia by a Chinese.But this is not the same as saying.Russia doesn't care about this place at all.

You know, after the United Nations called on the navies of all countries to escort the Gulf of Aden for merchant ships, Russia was the most active.The ships sent are also the most deterrent. The Peter the Great has cruised around the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean many times.

It can be seen that Russia attaches great importance to this land and the idea of ​​wanting to show its muscles all the time.Two years ago, the Russian president hoped to obtain a port in Somalia through friendly means.Continuing the Cold War period, the Soviet Union once had a naval base on the Socotra Islands east of Somalia and continued to have the ability to control the Gulf of Aden.

However, what makes the Russians very troublesome is that Li Lan is not a peaceful person.The secret agreement between various countries has only been signed for more than a year, and Li Lan will be unable to sit still.This is a far cry from the five years given by Russia.And it was this when the United States was angry.

Just for the sake of a Somali naval base, it is impossible for Russia to have a real match with the United States. Even if it is still during the Cold War, the Soviet Union would not choose to do so.The main thing is value. For Russia, keeping the value of the Gulf of Aden is not worth a fight with the United States.After all, Russia is no longer the scene of the Soviet Union.

"Maintaining the relationship between the two parties is also my hope. But as you know the facts, it is imperative to reunify Somalia, because this is not only my business, but the expectation of the entire Freedom League. I can’t let my subordinates feel disappointed. In Somalia, there are more than 500 people living in dire straits.” Li Lan said with a rather helpless expression.

"If this is the case, then I can only ask the president for instructions, and then I will give you an answer." Ivanovic said.

"Please!" Li Lan didn't say much, and gestured for a please.

After Ivanovic left, Li Lan's lips curled up. As long as Russia cannot continue to implement the agreement, the agreement can only be invalidated.If Russia wants to fulfill the agreement and is willing to help itself bear the pressure of the United States, then he will also be very happy.As for the agreement that still exists, Li Lan also has a ready back hand.

When Ivanovic came here again, things did not go beyond Li Lan's expectations, but his expectations were not exactly the same.

"According to our President’s instructions, if the United States launches a military attack on Somalia and you cannot resist, first of all, we will do our best to ensure your life is safe. The previous agreement is not necessary. However, once the United States cannot shake your Exists, and your power is still built. At the end of the war, our president hopes that the two sides can sign a military alliance agreement. This new agreement is mainly reflected in that our warships can dock at your port normally and carry out Normal supplies, fuel, and other supplies. Of course, this is an equal agreement. Your warships can also be supplied at Russian ports. It should be pointed out that this agreement is not a military alliance. It is only for the navies of both sides. Provide necessary convenience for the navies of both sides."

Hearing the answer Ivanovich brought back, Li Lan smiled without anger.Why doesn't he understand Russia's wishful thinking, no matter what the outcome of this matter, Russia does not want to suffer.This is also very consistent with the consistent style of Russia.

If Li Lan owns a navy and is still an ocean-going navy, the matter has been announced.It was impossible for the Russian to propose such an intention to him.Compared with Somalia, the port owned by Russia is also very attractive to Li Lan.Actually, Li Lan still took advantage.

Of course, this is also a method used by Russia based on the fact that the navy owned by Li Lan has not been exposed.The whole world knows that it takes a long period of experience to develop an information-based navy.Nor is it an ordinary country.If you want to develop, you can develop.

In the century-old navy, this sentence is still a truth.

This is officially determined, and Russia is still thinking about it for the slightest possibility.If Li Lan's power is annihilated by the United States, Russia will have no choice but to accept it.If a miracle occurs and the United States does not defeat Li Lan, then Russia will not lose a great opportunity because of the failure of this agreement.

of course.Fundamentally, Russia still concludes that Li Lan will not stick to it. This is just a routine method in the relationship between countries, and it will always leave itself a little voice.

"This is very fair to both parties, and I naturally have no reason to refuse." Li Lan nodded, accepting the changed attitude of Russia.

"May our friendship be stable for a long time." After a routine statement, Ivanovic's face changed.He said with a regretful look: "In my heart, I really don't want to tell you this, because I hope that we can continue our previous friendship instead of leaving everything to fate to decide."

"God of destiny. Always favors those who are prepared." Li Lan replied inexplicably.

Then the two sides conducted a simple negotiation on the intention of the new agreement. After all, no one knows what will happen in the future. It is better to clarify this possibility.If the conditions of the agreement are not met, a little time is wasted at best. If the conditions are met, then come to discuss again, the situation will be different.This kind of thing, whether it is Li Lan or Ivanovic, wants to cut the mess.

This new agreement is not a secret agreement. As long as the conditions are met, when the two parties begin to implement this agreement, it will be made public.Of course, if the conditions are not met, the agreement does not exist.

After the various terms of the agreement were formally implemented, Ivanovic really left this time. Not only did he leave the sea small building, he also started to leave Somalia, because soon, this place will become very unstable. .

After Ivanovic left, Li Lan did not leave, but continued his fishing leisurely.The clear sea has good visibility.Schools of fish swimming freely under the water are also clearly visible, and occasionally some groupers can be seen.

In building this small building on the sea, Li Lan hopes to be able to stay away from downforce occasionally, and the effect is naturally very good in normal times, but during this time, it has not brought him much peace.Especially in the last few days, Kahin is Ivanovic, and someone else is coming.

This place seems to have suddenly become his other office location. The place that was supposed to be a relaxing place has no original intention.

"Mr. Zeng Zhihua has arrived." Soon after sending Ivanovic away, Natasha once again came to Li Lan's side and Hui reported: "He is right outside the door."

"Let him in!" Li Lan nodded.

Before long, Zeng Zhihua’s voice rang in his ears: "You really enjoy it. When I retire, I have to come here to take care of the elderly. The blue sky and clear water are fascinating! There is no muddy air and no city. The hustle and bustle of the city, you can also enjoy the fun of fishing, and you can satisfy the desire to swim all year round. If you really let me live, I don’t want to go."

As soon as he walked into this balcony on the sea, Zeng Zhihua looked very envious.It was not the first time that the two met, and they were familiar with each other, and they spoke a little more casually.

"If you like it, I will leave one for you. You must know that if I complete the development in the future. This coastal line will become a very good tourist attraction. At that time, the land here will continue to rise. Turn over." Li Lan was also happy to let himself take a break.

"It seems that you are really very mindful and think far!" Zeng Zhihua sat down beside Li Lan unceremoniously and took the coconut juice from Natasha.Drink slowly.

"There is no way, this is the same in this life, the life of labor in the sky, sometimes want to rest, but always can not rest. Since ancient times, from the emperor to the beggar, every class has its own troubles. Being an official There are the troubles of being an official, the rich have the troubles of the rich, and the poor also have the troubles of the poor. As long as you live a lifetime, you will have troubles as long as you want to survive and get a little moisturized. Troubles have no size. Difference, but it is always trouble. Unless it is the kind of person who is born to wait for death." Li Lan said lightly.

"Yes! Troubles have no size, but they cannot be resolved quickly by themselves. That is the real trouble. Good officials have the troubles and persistence of good officials, and bad officials have the troubles and guilty conscience of bad officials. Beggars want to live. Going on, you have to think about how to beg for something, and even if the emperor has no troubles about national affairs, he will have personal troubles, even the faint monarch is no exception, perhaps he wants to live a hundred years. Or something else. "Zeng Zhihua also said with sentiment.

"Then what are your concerns?" Li Lan said.

"I have a lot of worries now, worries may not need to come here next time, and worries that my good student will be very sad, and worries that I will lose another person who can make me admire." Zeng Zhihua pointedly said. One sentence.Then he asked: "Where are your troubles?"

"I like this world, so I won't leave easily." Li Lan smiled slightly and said: "As for my troubles, there are many. As far as I am concerned, since ancient times, I have seen the life and death of individuals. It's very light. But for those who care about me, my current worry is to try not to let them down. Instead, I let myself come step by step and face the world with the best posture. As a Chinese , I hope that my motherland will be stronger, so I can spare no effort to help it. Even on the day of need, I have the strength to stand up to help the motherland withstand the attack, and protect the 1.3 billion compatriots from war Suffering."

Speaking of the last, regardless of whether it really came from the heart, Li Lan was even infected by this feeling.And Zeng Zhihua next to him was stunned for a while, and then he said: "I am old, and I will really be the world of young people in the future. As a middleman connecting you and the country, I shouldn't talk too much. But as A Chinese, even if we are not friends, we are very familiar with each other. I rely on the old man’s persuasion. I have to let it go before I can afford it. I know that you are a person who considers a long-term view. I am too far behind. I also know the strength you have. But these things are not enough to make you have the capital to compete with the United States. You know, the United States is an industrial power, the world’s first military strength, not to mention those in active service. The warships and aircraft that have been sealed up are enough to dominate the world. Not to mention the successive achievements of the United States in the field of high-tech weapons over the years. Therefore,..."

"So, you want to persuade me to give up the current unification of Somalia, leave more time for development, and gradually enrich my own strength. When my strength rises, the problem of unifying Somalia is just a matter of course." Li Lan interrupted.

"This kind of truth is not difficult to understand, but I have always been unable to figure it out. You are definitely not the kind of impulsive person, why should you choose such an extreme." Zeng Zhihua asked suspiciously.

"As just said, everyone has their own worries, and there are some things that can't be told to anyone. This is a good intention. Don't worry! If there is no certainty, I will never hit a rock with a pebble." Li Lan Zi channel.

"Your self-confidence always makes people feel inexplicable, but every time it will not disappoint. Now I have chosen to believe in your words. It is a wonderful feeling. To be honest, as a person Old agent, there are not many things that can make me truly believe, but in you, I often don't have the thought of doubt. The kind of expression you show when you are confident. It is the most unique charm I have ever seen. "After listening to Li Lan's words, Zeng Zhihua said with deep understanding.

"You come here in a hurry this time, are you worried that the aircraft carrier I promised to send will be yellow and unable to complete the country's order?" Li Lan did not continue with the topic just now, but officially transferred the content of the conversation to the business.

"I didn't expect that I would come in a hurry again. However. It's not what you said. This time I received an order from Chief One to hand you something." When it came to business, Zeng Zhihua also converged. Pick up the other expressions on your face and concentrate.While he was talking, he took out a small USB flash drive from his pocket.Said: "This is the secret contact code of the Gulf of Aden escort fleet. As long as you feel something has changed, you can use it to get in touch with the escort fleet to ensure your own life is of utmost importance."

Li Lan took the small USB flash drive and looked very serious, saying: "If I really fail in this war, everything here will disappear completely. Because I can't let the United States get everything I have, and I Myself, everything depends on God’s will."

"I just hope you can think about it for yourself, even if not for yourself, but also for Lin Meiqi." Zeng Zhihua said.

"Is she okay?" Lin Meiqi's three words made Li Lan's heart trembled and couldn't help asking.

"She's fine, the number one leader is here. No one will do anything to her." After Zeng Zhihua finished speaking, he added in his heart: "How can she be good without you?"

Li Lan didn't say anything, but looked at the fishing rod in her hand, silent.

"I came here this time, I didn't intend to go back, I will stay here until the war is over." Perhaps to ease the atmosphere, Zeng Zhihua said another purpose of this trip.

Li Lan, who was slightly sad, recovered instantly after hearing Zeng Zhihua's words.Put down the fishing rod, stood up, turned his back to Zeng Zhihua, and said very firmly: "This war is my war and my responsibility. From the time I planned to develop in Somalia, I have thought of today. This is A war that will come sooner or later is inevitable. The United States is very powerful, but I am not easy to provoke. Once this war breaks out, even if the United States wants to completely destroy me, it will have to pay unbearable consequences. Because in There is no failure in my life dictionary.

As for you, I will have someone send you away tomorrow.As for domestic orders, you can also relax.If the situation is really defeated, I will let the current fleet change its course and join the Chinese Navy, which is my last contribution to the motherland.Of course, if that moment comes, I will also pull the United States off the altar.I will make the United States completely regret and start this war.

And if that day comes, I hope you will say sorry to Lin Meiqi for me!"

After Li Lan finished speaking, he left without looking back, and the USB flash drive was left on the table by him.

"Oh!" Zeng Zhihua sighed helplessly, carefully put away the USB flash drive, got up and left here.In the face of such a determined and determined Li Lan, he didn't know how to persuade him. Now he understands more why this matter is not the case that Chief One contacted him personally, because Chief One had already known this result.

The next day, when he set foot on the steamer returning to China, Li Lan sent him a beautiful box.

At the same time, Chinese and Russian officials quickly gave their views on the current situation in Somalia. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs only expressed a high degree of concern about this matter, and there was no actual action at all.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China has announced some routine diplomatic rhetoric, the main content of which is nothing more than the hope that everyone can exercise restraint and avoid unnecessary conflicts and unnecessary casualties.

In the face of the sudden change in the situation in Somalia, the reaction of the two countries was completely beyond everyone's expectations. China and Russia, who thought they would still be tough, showed an attitude of recognizing counsel.Suddenly they are telling the world that even they don't want to face the angry America!As one of the protagonists of the incident, Li Lan seemed to have become an abandoned son overnight.
