Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 564 Referendum Plan

The conversation between the two of them took place in a fairly peaceful atmosphere. From the beginning to the present, it has lasted for almost forty minutes. During this time, the issues discussed are basically around the topic of the relationship between the two countries. .

It is not easy to establish a special telephone line for the head of state. The United States has to adjust the continuous high tension between Somalia and Somalia, so neither of them missed this opportunity. Two slaps are considered sound.

After the formation of a tacit understanding, the topic gradually turned to the core purpose of this head of state call, regarding the follow-up handling of Ethiopia.When the focus comes here, the atmosphere is a little different. The peaceful atmosphere accumulated for forty minutes is also a good environment for conversation on this topic.

"I apologize for the trouble that the Blackwater Company has caused you in Ethiopia. We have ordered the Blackwater Company to immediately withdraw all mercenaries, and forcibly terminate the transaction between them and the Ethiopian government, and now withdraw from work. In order to resolve Ethiopia’s troubles as soon as possible, we have also dispatched air force transport aircraft to help transport. Now, it takes one day to complete all the evacuation work." At the beginning of this topic, Obama adopted Taking the initiative, in words, it is naturally impossible for him to acknowledge everything that NATO sits on, push all matters to the Blackwater Mercenary Company, and keep silent about arms assistance.

And Li Lan didn't specifically go to reveal anything, once he picked everything out, then the phone conversation.It is better not to proceed, and there is no need for follow-up."This kind of incident is another unpleasant start for everyone, and it is also due to the impact of lack of communication. However, I believe that as long as communication can be strengthened in the future, such things will not happen again. Lessons are always drawn!"

"Then I don't know the nature of the Ethiopian referendum?" Obama said.

"As long as the former Ethiopian government disappears and the whole situation eases a bit, there will be no more armed conflicts. You can start preparing for a referendum." Li Lan did not hide it. The purpose of the call today is to say that this matter naturally needs a result. , "There are two natures of the referendum. The first is for each regional vote, which will be conducted independently by each state of Assen this month. The content of the referendum is whether to agree to be incorporated into Somalia."

Obama's eyes flashed.I immediately realized Li Lan’s purpose. If it were what Li Lan said, then Ethiopia might be torn apart in the future. Naturally, he would not agree with this, in terms of words.He didn't conceal his thoughts, saying: "This kind of referendum is very unreasonable. Since democracy is to be promoted, we also believe in the achievements of Somalia in democracy. In my opinion. Ethiopia must join the whole country in order to hold a referendum. As long as more than half of Ethiopians agree to merge into Somalia, then we have nothing to say, but if more than half of Ethiopians do not agree to merge into Somalia, then after Ethiopia establishes its own new government, Somalia is invited to start. Preparations for withdrawal. Give the Ethiopians their own sky."

Listening to Obama's awe-inspiring words, Li Lan was very funny in his heart, but he did not show his emotions. Politics is like this. Thick-skinned is the basic skill, and turning black and white is just the ability to enter the room.

"This time we dispatched troops at the unanimous request of millions of Somalis. The problem of the Somali people in Ethiopia has been around for a long time. They disregarded humanitarianism and actually carried out genocide. If it was just such a simple result, I believe our entire country The people of the United States will not agree. President Obama is also elected to power. Naturally, he knows the importance of public opinion. I can’t do the world’s worst things. The common needs of all citizens must be met. Therefore, the referendum is based on, To every state."

Speaking of this, Li Lan is also telling Obama that I will not give up my bottom line, and there is no need to talk about this topic. Of course, he did not directly close all the room, and continued: “Of course, this is not static. , Ethiopia has many states. If more than half of the states refuse to join Somalia as a result of the referendum, then we will not want a share of Ethiopia’s land, but if half of the states agree to join Somalia, then we only need those who want To join the states of Somalia. Those states that do not want to, we will let them become independent or continue to form a coalition similar government."

After hearing Li Lan's words, Obama did not immediately respond, and a thinking expression appeared on his face.Around him, the staff of the presidential palace also began to communicate quietly, and they must quickly give the president suggestions for his reference.

As Li Lan said, I didn't want resources to attack Ethiopia. I just sent troops to Ethiopia to protect the safety of the Somali. How did the United States come from New Mexico?There are many things in common.

And Li Lan didn't have a big mouth from a lion, and there was no room left. As long as more than half of the state capitals in Ethiopia refused to join Somalia, things would be as they hoped.Even if more than half of the states agree to join Somalia, those state capitals that do not want to join, Somalia will not.This is also a concession Li Lan made after rejecting Obama's proposal.

It stands to reason that it is very rare for Somalia to make such a concession, but I don’t know why Obama feels bad, and he does not want to agree to such a proposal.In the end, thinking about it, he finally said: "I can agree to this proposal, but when the states hold a referendum, in order to maintain fairness, the UN notary must conduct the whole referendum and the process and the process of counting votes. Supervision, and we will also send personnel to accompany supervision."

"President Obama can rest assured that I will not only let the UN impartial team and your personnel conduct full supervision, but also invite other countries in the world to jointly monitor, to ensure that every vote is legal, and even more so during the election process. There will be no fraudulent behavior, and ultimately the referendum will have the most correct result." Li Lan did not reject this. At the beginning of the vote, he did not need to do any tricks, and NATO’s participation would be no problem, saving the future. Some people gossiping.

"Very well, we will also maintain a fair mindset to deal with this matter." Li Lan's answer made Obama very satisfied. He believed that for an aggressive country, Ethiopians naturally know what they should choose.However, this matter is not over yet. When talking about this, Obama's voice suddenly changed: "However, you must also be aware that there are five minerals and one oil field in Ethiopia under the name of NATO. It is our most direct interest. I believe President Li will not embarrass us!"

Naturally, Li Lan knew very well that these minerals and oil fields were mortgaged to NATO by the Gilma government to purchase NATO weapons.If these minerals are occupied by Somalia and forcibly recovered, then NATO will suffer a big loss and will not let it go.

However, Li Lan did not agree, but looked embarrassed and reluctant, saying: "You also know very well that we are very poor in Somalia. It is not easy for me to raise this army. The war in Ethiopia In China, the daily military expenditures are astronomical. I still want to sell those minerals and oil fields at a lower price to ease the problem of military expenditures. It’s very difficult for me to do so if you say so!"

Li Lan’s words made Obama’s face serious. Watching the video, Li Lan looked reluctant and said: “These minerals and oil fields have already entered the NATO name. I don’t think you want to see it. Let’s talk for almost an hour, and in the end it’s just a mirage!"

"In fact, if we want us not to infringe NATO's interests, I can do it, but I also hope that NATO will not infringe upon my interests." Li Lan's face also became serious, as if she had made great determination. Look like.

"President Lee, please clarify, when did NATO violate Somalia's interests?" Obama is really a little confused.

"No, it's not infringing on my interests, but it's already holding the knife holder on my neck." Li Lan shook her head and said, "On the side of my couch, there are actually two large air force bases and one. A drone base and a special forces base are all beside my bed, which tells me how to fall asleep."

This time Obama finally heard what Li Lan meant, but his face remained puzzled and said: "No, we don't have a military base in Somalia. President Li said this sentence a bit serious."

"I won’t say anything about Djibouti, Kenya, and Yemen. After all, they are outside of my sovereignty. But in Ethiopia, the soldiers on both sides are talking about each other every morning. If the referendum is over, it will happen that these states are all If you want to join Somalia, that will be difficult." Li Lan said directly.

"But we have existed for these bases for a long time, and it's not a day or two. It's hard for me to handle it." Li Lan said everything. Obama couldn't play stupid this time, but he didn't let go.

These military bases are very useful. If Ethiopia does have state capitals merged into Somalia in the future, Obama also wants to rely on these bases to block the military deployment of Somalia.Together with NATO’s other military bases in North Africa and NATO’s military islands in the Indian Ocean, a large deterrence circle can be formed at that time to drag the Somali army, and it can also directly install anti-missile systems at the door of Somalia for anti-missile strategy. Containment.
