Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 489: Balance

After dinner, the coffee table in the lobby was filled with fruity tea, and the real-time news of the day was broadcast on the TV.

Li Lan and Chief No. 1 sat together, watching the news one after another on TV, while Lin Meiqi and Natasha were on the sidelines, whispering.

A pack of agents’ Zhongnanhai cigarettes on the table had been taken apart, and Chief One and Li Lan ordered one each.

Chief No. 1 is an old smoker, while Li Lan rarely smokes. In this atmosphere, it is good to occasionally bring one.

At this moment, nearly six minutes of the 30 minutes of news on TV were occupied by Li Lan's state visit, and a large number of reports appeared on various Chinese TV stations non-stop throughout the afternoon.

Li Lan’s trip is highly concerned by the international community, as well as in China. After all, as the first Chinese to become president abroad, Li Lan has reached a very high rate of approval. He has strong words and deeds. Political signal.

The close cooperation between China and Somalia as soon as the establishment of diplomatic relations was expected by many people. The polite remarks and signals released by the high-level officials of the two countries were also caught by the international community.

In East Asia, it caused a lot of shocks.After all, Somalia is not a country that anyone can ignore. No matter how weak the economy is, no one dares to ignore its military influence.

Somalia is now known as the No. 1 power in Africa. In the "International Military Weekly", a latest ranking of world affairs, Somalia has jumped to fourth.Second only to Russia, and because of the sudden addition of two more than 80,000-ton aircraft carriers, Zhonghua directly surpassed Russia and became the second in the world.

Although the total strength is above.The number of Somali troops is the smallest in the international military.But no one can underestimate the quality.Even under the premise that the quantity in Lanchers' Law can make up for the quality, the combat effectiveness of the Somali army.After the test of the four major military powers, it has been fully proven.

In particular, the powerful long-range strike capability of the Somali army has caused many countries to be left far behind.And with the actual results, it has fully demonstrated the feasibility of ballistic missiles against aircraft carriers.The application of many advanced tactical theories and the confrontation between weapons have brought a good reference to major military groups around the world.

Therefore, when "International Military Weekly" ranked Somalia's military strength ahead of Britain and France, this did not arouse much opposition to public opinion.After all, the actual results are there.No matter how much opinion there is, there is no big reason to refute it.

However, with regard to China's surpassing Russia for the first time, it ranked first, which made international voices opposed.Because the military strength of the United States and Russia has always been at the top of the list, no one can shake this position for decades.

It can be said that since World War II, regardless of the ranking below third.How to change, there has never been a change between the first and second place.This time the rankings can be said to be a precedent in modern history.

The layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway."International Military Weekly" is an international military publication under NATO.A ranking is often made on changes in the military strength of countries.In recent times, the world's military situation has changed.There is nothing wrong with re-ranking.

But China ranked second and Somalia ranked fourth.And it was during Li Lan's state visit to China, the deep-seated purpose contained therein.It is worth thinking about.

The two people sitting in front of the TV had already known the news well.

"What do you think about this matter?" Chief No. 1 suddenly asked about the report of International Military Weekly.

"The ranking is a bit biased, and there is only one core, which embarrass Putin." Li Lan answered without hesitation.

"Yes! Only after Putin came to power, he resumed strategic nuclear cruise, committed to improving Russia's international voice, strengthening Russia's economy and military, and developing new strategic deterrent weapons. For the ambitious Putin, this This kind of report is really embarrassing." Chief One agreed with Li Lan's answer.

"It's just that this method is too superficial and won't work at all." At this point, Li Lan changed her voice and continued: "However, if you use this method for a long time, you will have the effect of boiling frogs in warm water. Putin Even if you don’t want to get into the set anymore, it will inevitably be a bit of a gap in your heart over time."

"Your next stop is Russia. Are you ready to communicate with Putin?" Chief No. 1 nodded, and the topic quickly shifted to Li Lan's next stop.

"Accordingly, at this time, I also hope to have one more friend. Ukraine seems to have a lot of involvement with Europe recently. Putin is also in urgent need of some friends at this time. Therefore, this trip is about cooperation. After all, I have had a relationship with Russia before. Cooperation, and all cooperation projects have been signed between them. The foundation is already established, and it depends on the future prospects." Li Lan did not hide his thoughts.

"Is it that simple?" Chief One seemed to know something and asked.

"In fact, it is not complicated. I signed a secret agreement with Russia. As long as Somalia succeeds in independence, the Russian navy can dock at the ports of Somalia for rest and fuel supply at any time. At the same time, my navy can also dock at Russian ports. Rehabilitation and fuel supply. At the beginning, Russia did not know that I had a navy, so Russia felt that it was taking advantage. Now that I know that I have a navy and have such a powerful navy, Russia feels that it has been cheated on the one hand, but they will not regret it. , Let alone offend me because of this. After all, in order to deal with the pressure of the United States and NATO, Russia will not be tenable without our two countries." Li Lan said.

Regarding Li Lan's words, the No. 1 Chief shook his head and pointed out: "Now we should not consider how to start new cooperation with Russia, but are so prepared to prevent Russia from approaching Europe and NATO."

"What you mean is that because of our pressure, the United States and NATO will change their policies towards Russia, but is this possible? Russia will really stand on the side of the United States and Europe?" Li Lan frowned slightly, said .

"Everything is the supremacy of interests, especially the Russians, who have the traditional aggressiveness of Mrs. Lars. The pursuit of interests is the most obvious nation. The defensive heart is indispensable!" Chief One said.

Hearing the words of Chief No. 1, Li Lan couldn't help but nodded. For the Russians, he really didn't dare to cooperate in all aspects.

Without their own existence, under the pressure of the United States and Europe, China and Russia may become good friends in the next few decades, and jointly resist pressure from the outside world and seek more strategic space.

But if you join Somalia's influence in the future, and get so close to China, once the United States and Europe feel that they can no longer rely on their existing power to control the world, they will extend an olive branch to Russia at any time.At that time, no matter how great benefits are given, it is not too strange that the Russians are moved.

However, Li Lan quickly thought of the most critical point in this, that is, the balance of power is the key. Once the balance is lost, everything can happen.

If Somalia is strong enough to make NATO feel a deep crisis, and the relationship with China becomes closer, the combined strength between the two countries will exceed NATO's control.It also exceeded Russia's expectations, and there is a real possibility that Russia and NATO will come together.

Of course, as long as China, Russia, and Russia can unite to fight NATO completely, then Russia will not be easily moved by NATO’s interests. After all, decades of confrontational relations are put there, and the conflict between the United States and Russia will continue from the Cold War. At the time, the United States often failed to fulfill its promises to Russia. It is also difficult to convince Russia to believe in NATO.

Therefore, there is only one possibility for this topic.However, the political relationship between countries, even if one in a thousand is possible, cannot be careless.This is politics.

"I understand what you mean." Li Lan nodded and said: "I will try my best to maintain a relatively stable relationship with Russia before I can't fight the whole world."

Chief One felt helpless. He knew that Li Lan had already thought of the key to the problem, but this was not what he wanted, but he did not say what he really thought, because from this sentence, he had already realized Li Lan How big is Lan's ambition?

Regarding his ambition, the No. 1 Chief has mixed praise and criticism.If his partner does not have ambitions, then he is truly uneasy, but too much ambition means it is difficult to control.Especially for the control of the future international situation, he has no means to control.

The international situation is complicated. In today's economic integration, many international issues affect the whole body.Allow Li Lan to stir up the world, and Chief One is also worried that one day in the future, it will affect China.This is something he doesn't want to see.

Politics emphasizes balance, and so does international relations.Military means are only the continuation of politics, and everything, whether it is light or dark, is a product of political appearance.

In such an international situation, countries are involved in huge amounts. Under the strategic siege of the United States, Chief No. 1 also hopes that someone can come to break the predicament around China.

However, this kind of assistance is too strong and the political balance is broken, which will cause unknown changes, and it is very likely that the situation that can be controlled will be completely out of control.

"Recently, there has been some unrest in Ethiopia. Did you make it happen?" Chief No. 1 suddenly changed the subject, and did not respond to Li Lan's statement, but referred to Ethiopia.

For ordinary people, only after the news comes out can they understand the changes in the world, but for them, once there are signs of international and regional issues, they must be caught in time.

The situation in Ethiopia has been unstable recently, and many people have already noticed it.
