News of Li Lan's trip to Addis Ababa was naturally impossible to block, it was just a matter of time.

After the plane landed, many people also got news.Seeing his crazy behavior, many people also sweated for him.After all, there are not a few leaders of countries in the world who will personally enter this high-risk area in this situation.

Even Bush did not dare to take off when the US military first occupied Baghdad.Such a scene was so similar to that time, and Li Lan dared to come to this former capital of another country that had been occupied by troops within a few days.

Soon, someone in the city began to circulate news of Li Lan’s arrival, but at this time in Addis Ababa, after half a month of cleaning up, nearly one million Amharic people had been driven out long ago. This city, it is estimated that it is still on foot on the prairie, walking towards the west.

This is the result of the efforts of the Oromo tribe, and Mulatu decided to act quickly and resolutely.However, the patriarch was even more surprised by Li Lan's sudden visit.

Li Lan's special car was parked at the gate of the former Presidential Palace that had been renovated. When he walked into Mulato's office, Mulato seemed to drop his chin in disbelief.

Fortunately, after being surprised, Mulato quickly recovered, and the two quickly chatted together. During the period, Zeng Zhihua was also invited by Li Lan to join the meeting.

The conversation of the three people does not need to be translated, and there is no involvement of any unrelated personnel.No record was made, and the entire meeting process.The entire area around the former presidential palace was full of strong electromagnetic interference, and all electronic equipment was shielded.Signal interception receivers of various frequency bands are also all over the surrounding area to prevent the existence of all micro-eavesdropping devices with strong anti-interference.

Under such strict protection, the three people talked for more than four hours, and it was already 10 minutes before Li Lan left the presidential palace.Next is the public itinerary.As for who Li Lan is talking to inside?What are you talking about?Despite a lot of speculation, the outside world cannot get the true news.

Combined with the recent military developments in Somalia, Li Lan's trip will inevitably be imaginative.When he started to inspect the army in Addis Ababa, Muratou soon had a new development.

The former Ethiopian Defense Forces, controlled by the Oromo tribe, have announced that they will respond to Murat's call.Leaving the Gilma regime, although the former honorary elder of the Oromo tribe has worked hard to control the army, his reputation in the tribe is far worse than that of Muratu, let alone It is said that there are many chiefs and elders behind Murat who are supporting him.

In just one day, with the help of the Somali army, nearly 100,000 soldiers took off their military uniforms and took their weapons directly into the area controlled by the Somali army, during which large-scale military conflicts broke out.However, with the support of the Somali air force and army artillery, the Amharic army can only watch the former colleagues and the current enemy and the Somali army converge.

Next.Muratu immediately used these changed tribes to form an armed army of his tribe, and immediately received a large amount of military supplies from the Somali military.The soldiers who had just taken off the uniforms of the Ethiopian Defense Forces immediately put on the uniforms of the Somali Defense Forces.And also successfully received a large number of advanced weapons and equipment.It is directly shotgun for cannon.

At the same time, a team of officers and coaches composed of mobilized soldiers also followed the supporting weapons and equipment.Join this army of nearly 100,000 people.After the change, the military expenses of this army will be paid directly by Somalia, and the annual income of ordinary soldiers will be doubled on the basis of the original Ethiopian Defense Forces.From the original 500 US dollars per year, it is directly raised to 1,000 US dollars.Converted to Somali shillings, it is eight thousand Somali shillings.Six hundred Somali shillings for the first month were also issued when they received the uniform.

For this, the Somali Ministry of Defense paid nearly 70 million Somali shillings for this in just a few days.If you add the military uniforms and the weapons and equipment provided, the value of the money paid for this one-time has already exceeded one billion Somali shillings.

After the Oromo army received the salary and the new uniform, it was completely renewed. Under the leadership of Muratu, it began to carry out simple drills, as far as possible in the next war, erupting stronger combat effectiveness.

To this end, the Gilma government also responded urgently. In order not to collapse the situation in Ethiopia, NATO began to provide additional military assistance.A large number of individual weapons and bullets were transported to the area controlled by the Gilma government.

The entire Amharic tribe was also mobilized urgently. A large number of young people entered the army. In just a few days, with the support of NATO, the Gilma government, with the support of tens of millions of people, was madly armed. Ten thousand troops, and NATO’s large number of individual weapons and equipment have also continuously entered Ethiopia, becoming the basis for the Gilma government to further expand its armed forces.

In this dispute, those arms dealers are the happiest. They can’t get in on the arms sold by the state, but those ak-47s that are spread all over the world are not a small business for them. There are more than a dozen international arms dealers. In a short time, five to six hundred thousand were raised, which were purchased and delivered by NATO.

In just a few days, various weapons in Ethiopia arrived and distributed on a large scale, and the armed personnel surged.The situation is becoming more and more difficult to control.

As one of the creators of all this, Li Lan is now enjoying the scenery inside and outside Addis Ababa with great interest.

As one of the most famous big cities in Africa, Addis Ababa also has a history of more than one hundred years. It is also a modern city with a high degree of modernity. There is a large amount of foreign business atmosphere in the city, such as the world's number one Wal-Mart. Supermarkets, as well as various world fast food snacks, also occupied the city.

And many African organizations have their headquarters in this city. For example, the headquarters of the African Union and the Self-Help Development Alliance are in Addis Ababa.In this city, there are also a large number of large foreign companies' factories and office buildings, and embassies from more than 60 countries around the world are also located in this city.

In the past, this city was a symbol of North Africa. Today, its status as a symbol has not diminished much, but the symbol now is war, while it used to symbolize the future of Africa.

The war brought about a cultural and economic disaster, and Addis Ababa was no exception. Although the war did not burn foreign businesses or hurt residential areas, it also destroyed many facilities.

Coupled with the chaos brought about by the war, even though Addis Ababa has restored order, the original prosperity is no longer there.It will take a long time to ease, and it is impossible to restore the past prosperity as soon as possible.After all, in this country with a GDP of only about 50 billion US dollars, a lot of the share is in this city. After the baptism of the war, it is not that simple to return to the pre-war period.

However, none of this affected Li Lan's mood in admiring the place. Riding in the special car, walking slowly on the outskirts of the city, looking at this land that was almost named Li, even if it was barren, he felt happy.What's more, the greenery in Addis Ababa has always been very good, and the scenery is also unique.

Along the way, what Li Lan saw the most was not the scenery, but the tanks that were destroyed from time to time by the roadside. Some were Egyptian tanks that were destroyed during this war, and some were old for some years, basically A big rusty iron box, all the things that could be removed in it are gone, only an empty shell exists, and the thick rust is also lifted up in layers under the wind and sun.Some tanks with thinner armor have been embroidered through.

Ethiopia does not have a heavy industry or a smelting industry, and these tanks that have become scrap iron do not have the capacity to dispose of them.It can only be left here all year round in the wind and sun, and Li Lan even saw a Pershing tank of the US Army in World War II, but it has been drastically changed after decades of wind and sun.

This is the first time he has stepped into this country. The first contact with this country was in the textbook.That is an Italian shame that happened here.At the end of the 19th century, Italy invaded Ethiopia and forced Egypt to accept its "protection."At that time, the ruler of Ethiopia, Menelik II, defeated the Italian army in Adwa, and Italy was forced to recognize Egypt's independence.It was the first time Li Lan learned about a country like Ethiopia in a history class. This is also a commendable thing in Ethiopia's history.Until now, the Adwa Grand Victory Day has been regarded as an important national holiday.

"Ethiopia, this country is almost gone." Looking at the undulating mountains in the distance and admiring the straight eucalyptus trees clustered together, Li Lan sighed inexplicably in the special car.

Inside the car, Natasha, who was a qualified bodyguard, followed Li Lan's words and said: "These are destined things, just like the ebb and flow of the ebb and flow, each leading the way."

"You seem to have confidence in me?" Li Lan was a little surprised that Natasha was so sure.

"When the commander comes here, it is naturally impossible to really watch the scenery and inspect the troops. Although I don't know what Muratu promised the commander, but since you have spent so much effort to support him, I am afraid that there is a lot of tricks in it. After preparing so much, wouldn't the commander have confidence in himself?" Natasha said simply.She still didn't say something, and Li Lan's emotions must have come from her heart and what she thought.Out of the understanding of Li Lan, Natasha's words did not come from her own confidence, but from Li Lan's self-confidence.

Hearing Natasha's words, Li Lan just shook her head slightly, Fang Ping looked at the scenery outside.
