Chapter 613 Forming a Cooperative Alliance

ps: Seven thousand words, it was originally going to be divided into development, but later decided to go directly to the big chapter.There is one more update before twelve o'clock.There are also updates in the early hours.

Do you still have a monthly pass?

————

On the second day of the Somali president’s wedding, in the large conference room on the top floor of the Gossip City Hotel where many reporters gathered to entertain foreign guests, the huge conference room hall was already covered with a red carpet for welcome.

On both sides of the red carpet, there are waiting reporters. The cameras are also placed on both sides of the red carpet, aiming at the entire red carpet.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Li Lan's figure appeared on the red carpet on time.Immediately afterwards, the heads of state walked onto the red carpet one by one, and after shaking hands with Li Lan in the middle of the red carpet, and then both facing the reporters' cameras at the same time, the greeted head of state walked into the conference room alone.

Heads of state walked in one by one. Soon, Li Lan took all the heads of state from thirty-two countries into the conference room, and then he turned and walked into the conference room.The rest of the program will not be made public.

The entire conference room is tightly protected by security personnel, no one can approach it, and there is even a helicopter outside to monitor the entire outside situation of the hotel.Security and confidentiality measures are very strict.

This time the meeting of heads of state, one thing is very interesting, that is, the heads of these thirty-two countries, except for China and Russia, other countries belong to the third world countries, the national power is not strong, most They are all from Africa, as well as several countries in the Pacific and South America.

Without exception, these countries are countries that have no direct relationship with NATO, but they all have good relations with China and Russia.Naturally, they can also see that the current Sino-Somali-Russian relations also want to take the opportunity to increase the level of relations with Somalia.

At present, only these countries can truly go with China, Russia and Russia. Other countries are more inclined to European and American countries.

In fact, this much-watched conference did not mention any important strategic cooperation, but emphasized some issues of mutual economic development and cooperation in energy import and export.After all, these countries are too many.Many words will not come up in such a meeting.

The real highlight is the private meeting of the heads of state. This is the key.It is up to the leaders of the two countries to talk openly and honestly without outsiders.

The entire meeting lasted for a whole day, even during lunch time, none of the heads of state had come out, whether it was a break or a meal.All were carried out in a partial hall of the conference room.

It wasn't until dusk that the summit of the thirty-three heads of state came to an end.During the conference, the spokespersons of various countries will successively announce the contents of the conference to outside reporters.

After the meeting, all the reporters left with all the heads of state.

At eight o'clock in the evening, it was in the small wooden house that Li Lan had built by the sea.Under the light, a dozen heads of state came here quietly. At this moment, one person is holding a fishing rod and enjoying the fun of fishing while blowing the sea breeze.

In the seaside cottage, several chefs from the Presidential Palace of Somalia are preparing snacks.Apart from that, there are only big men like them.

"President Li is really enjoyable. It's okay to come here to blow the sea breeze and go fishing. It is definitely a great pleasure in life." Venezuelan President Maduro, wearing a pair of beach pants, took a sip of juice and was grilling fish to the side. Li Lan sighed with emotion.

"This kind of life is really rare for us people. We have to deal with things every day, and sometimes I really want to give myself a holiday. Enjoy the fun of playing downstream." It is also a piece of beach pants. Head number, also said at this time.

"Indeed, if it weren't for President Lee's proposal, we hadn't really thought about it. When we were talking about business, we could also enjoy the leisure time by the way." Pakistani President Mamnuen Hussein said.

"The solemn atmosphere, as well as the reporters who follow everywhere. And the demeanor that I have to maintain at that moment, I am really not as comfortable as this time. This kind of attempt is really possible. If every meeting place, everyone can Relax. I believe that the atmosphere of discussing business will be much more harmonious." The only woman on the scene, Christina, the first female president from Argentina, said.

...

Before coming here, the ten or so national leaders present had no idea that Li Lan would actually place the secret meeting place in such an elegant seaside cabin.Several of them secretly received a secret invitation from the organizer Li Lan after the summit of the thirty-three heads of state, and they also knew the list of invited persons.

At the time of departure, under the arrangement of the Somali personnel, he avoided the reporters waiting around the hotel, then changed into the car and quietly came to this seaside cabin.At this time, Li Lan was already waiting here and prepared some leisure tools.

This was naturally arranged by Li Lan carefully, because this meeting was very important, regardless of whether it was the presidential palace or the hotel, it was all stared at by countless reporters, and getting in too many cars at once would easily arouse speculation from the outside. The secret way to enter the presidential palace is to avoid eyes and ears, but he does not want to expose it.

Therefore, in everyone's eyes, these heads of state are resting in the hotel room because of the exhaustion and jet lag at the end of the day's meeting.This also includes the entourage of most of the heads of state.

Choosing to be in the beach house is also considered a whim for Li Lan, because he hasn't been here for a long time, and now he is not too busy, and he plans to enjoy the leisure time.Simply invite all those people here, after all, no one will come here, and no one will think that they will gather here quietly.

"People always want to relax appropriately. When the Bagua City was built, I built this hut. It has always been a place for me to be lazy." Li Lan held a glass of juice and gently leaned against the handle of the wooden sea balcony. Come on, smile sincerely, and say.

"Hehe..." Everyone laughed when they heard Li Lan's lazy words. Here, Li Lan is the youngest, and everyone here is at least thirty years older than him.Hearing such young words made them a little bit of amusement.

"It’s good to be young. At the age of President Li, I remember that I was still studying in Europe. I wanted to spend my time in the library every day. Looking back on this life, I was really busy. I really wanted to be lazy. ." Palestinian President Abbas smiled slightly.A look of nostalgia.

When Li Lan heard the words, the corner of her mouth curled up. This arrangement has already begun to bear fruit.Only after separating these people from major national events can they see the scene in reality. This may not be all representative, but it is definitely the face of their normal life.And here.Everyone is open and honest, and there is no need to put on that identity mask. Naturally, the mood is much more sincere.

This kind of diplomatic method has also existed in history, and Li Lan did not specifically imitate it. It was just a thought.

"Young is chic. Those of us are old, but we don't have the original vitality." Christina said enviously.

Li Lan smiled slightly, and did not say anything.At this time, the chefs had brought up the prepared snacks, and after preparing the juice and wine, they left at once.Soon, here in the cabin, there are only their ten heads of state.

There are ten countries in total: Venezuela, Argentina, Pakistan, Eritrea, Iran, Palestine, Syria, China and Russia.As for the purpose of this secret meeting, in fact, you can guess it by looking at the list of invitations.

In the past few days, major Western media all over the world have been advocating the Somali threat theory, and it has become more and more fierce. Even the Hanhe defense commentary directly pointed out that Somalia is provoking a naval competition with the United States.It is hoped that the whole world will be alert to Somalia’s rapid increase in military strength step by step.

Facing the pressure of public opinion in the entire Western world, it would be strange if Li Lan didn’t move. Therefore, after receiving the secret invitation, these invited people have already had some ideas about the purpose of coming here tonight. .

Now I see all irrelevant people waiting to leave.Everyone's eyes gradually focused on Li Lan.

"Everyone, don't worry about going back to rest!" Li Lan didn't go straight to the subject as they wanted.

Hearing what Li Lan said, everyone just shook their heads gently.Because they wanted to come to Li Lan's secret invitation, they had already turned off all activities, so there was nothing else.

"In that case, why don't you enjoy the night sky and the gentle sea breeze here. This kind of atmosphere is rare to see." Li Lan said.

"In fact, you are here at the invitation of the Chief No. 1 and President Li Lan. All of you here have basically the same political ideas and the same international political ideas. In dealing with regional issues, Unanimous point of view. In all, those of us, without our identities, are considered like-minded people." Putin continued with Li Lan's words and said.

"Since President Putin has already said, then I will just be straightforward and wait for me." After Li Lan finished speaking, he immediately walked into the cabin from the balcony, and soon he took out nine documents, and then one by one. Handed over to every national leader.

"Please take a look, this is just a rough framework. If you are interested in this framework, then ten of us will work together to improve the content of this framework. Please rest assured, let everyone put down their identities today. Being able to sit on an equal footing here, everyone can speak freely, express their different ideas, and discuss together."

This document is actually what was discussed at the base in the early hours of last night.Now these ten countries are all targets of direct alliance.Because these countries all face the pressure from NATO together, or have already had big troubles, just like Syria and Pakistan.

After Li Lan finished the introduction, he once again picked up the juice, and then quietly leaned on the wooden railing. He did not urge them, but quietly watched them immersed in the contents of the file.

The entire cabin remained silent until ten minutes later, Putin put down the files, and the others also put down the files in hand, indicating that they had read them.

"May I ask, why not sign a direct military alliance directly?" Syrian President Bashar began.

Everyone turned their eyes to Bashar. They all knew that Bashar and Abbas are now the most troublesome. After all, one often faces Israeli air strikes, and the other has been in the country for many years. Under the chaos of the war, I was a little weak.Under the current situation in Syria, if there are so many direct military allies from outside, that would definitely be a great boon.

However, this is the most direct problem, because it is impossible for countries to sign a military alliance. After all, under a military alliance, all countries must send troops to help the Syrian government defeat the rebels.

"I know very well President Bashar’s difficulties at the moment. The non-military alliance takes into account the national policies of various countries. After all, many countries here are neutral countries. Under the constraints of the national constitution, it is impossible to really sign military alliances with other countries. "Li Lan immediately stood up and said to Bashar: "However, everything is available, although once this agreement comes into force. We can't directly send troops to help you, but we can provide you with material assistance. We all It is clear that Syria is very scarce in terms of food and other materials due to the perennial war. We will provide more necessary material assistance at that time."

Having said that, Li Lan put down the juice.I walked to the side and poured two cups of milk wine rich in Somalia, put a cup in Bashar’s hand, and said to a toast: “Military, in addition to the military transactions between Syria and Somalia, as the president of Somalia, I can I promise you that we will provide you with two new light stealth frigates worth 200 million U.S. dollars free of charge. And we will help you train sailors for free. As for other expenses, the Syrian side will pay for it."

Generous, absolutely generous, the Sea Scorpion light frigate has become the best light frigate in the world relying on its powerful all-ship stealth and a displacement of 2,000 tons.Especially on this small frigate, there are sixteen vertical launch units and various world-class electronic equipment and radars.In offshore battles, Somali anti-aircraft missiles and anti-ship missiles can also be launched, and in front of and behind the warship.There is also an air defense phalanx.In terms of firepower, even though it only has a displacement of 2,000 tons, it has surpassed all 3,000-ton frigates in the world.

The most important thing is that such a light guard can be maneuvered freely with only fifty or sixty people on it. Compared with most frigates in the world, the degree of automation is the highest.And such a warship.Everyone in the world knows that it is definitely not cheap. With the lowest construction cost of more than 175 million US dollars, it has become one of the most expensive light protections in the world.

now.This kind of full stealth light frigate, except for China and Russia, everyone here is very eager to get a relatively economical excellent warship. Li Lan directly sent two ships in one breath, and the crew training costs were also avoided.If only paying for modification, maintenance, and ammunition, Bashar would definitely have picked it up for nothing.

As soon as Li Lan's voice fell, everyone present showed unbelievable gazes. The moment they heard this sentence, they even wondered if they had heard it wrong.Why is there such a good thing in the world?

Even Chief One and Putin were no exception. They never thought that Li Lan would be so generous. They were two two thousand-ton combat ships, or the world's best light escorts, and they were sent out.

The big prodigal!400 million US dollars were sent out.Chief One kept roaring in his heart.

As one of the parties, Bashar suddenly felt that he was hit by a pie, and the pie just fell into his hand at this moment.Although Syria also has a navy, they are all dilapidated small patrol boats, and there is no naval equipment that can be called a ship.

In fact, when he ordered arms from Somalia, he wanted to buy a full-stealth corvette in Somalia, but according to the cost of warships and ship-borne helicopters, buying one such warship, plus the total cost of maintenance of ammunition personnel, According to the economy brought about by the ongoing civil war in Syria, it simply cannot afford it.After all, his main idea now is to win this civil war and completely eliminate the anti-government forces supported by NATO.

The navy can have it, of course it is better, but the main thing is the army's equipment.In the end, he could only look at the beautiful warship and force himself not to think about it.

However, he really didn't expect to hear something like this here, a thing he didn't dare to think about, just so lightly said from Li Lan's mouth.At this moment, he feels that he is the luckiest person in the world.

However, just when he wanted to agree to it, he was in trouble, because he knew very well that there was no free lunch in the world, who knew what the young president was waiting for him next.

"This gift is too heavy. If I don't say it clearly, I really dare not accept it." Bashar was very worried. Although he wanted to agree to it, he was worried that if Li Lan offered any more conditions, then He has no choice.At that time, with so many people, it would be very detrimental to oneself.Since he was the weakest party, he could only be more cautious.

"President Bashar has no need to worry. I Li Lan said that one is one, and two is two. I said that if there is no condition, there is no condition." Li Lan waved his hand, looking calm and calm, and finally he added One sentence: "Of course, if you really say there are any conditions, then there are also. As long as you remember this favor at that time."

Investment, this is Li Lan's method. If he wants to make him be like Zhonghua, he can't do it with money, because he has no money left.But if you invest in high-value weapons, there is no problem at all.

In all equipment.The navy is a relatively high-end one, and because of technical barriers, many countries want it but are difficult to obtain.This naturally becomes the best choice.

The sea scorpion, as the most basic naval unit of the base, has a price of only three million base funds and a construction time of only two months.At the current shipyard's speed, as long as Li Lan needs it.A large number of sea scorpions can be built at any time.And in terms of financial pressure, compared with other weapons, the consumption of 50,000 base funds a day is only a small fraction.He doesn't care at all.

However, such warships are highly sought-after goods. If they are used to win the support of other countries, for Li Lan, this is a very lucrative business.As for the loss.He didn't worry at all. He could earn back the actual cost of the warship just in terms of ammunition and maintenance.

Therefore, he will be so generous.Not only will you not lose money, you can also directly establish a tall image of selfless assistance. Is there anything more cost-effective than this kind of business?

"But..." Bashar murmured even more when he saw Li Lan's indifferent appearance.After all, Somalia is not a rich country, and its economy is just under construction. How can it be so good that it gave itself two warships for free?After all, this is only the first contact between the two countries.This good thing came too quickly, and he was really at a loss.

"Nothing, but if you have to refuse, then forget it." Li Lan waved his hand, as if you were too careful.

"Well then! President Li’s help, on behalf of all Syrians, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude." Assad saw that Li Lan seemed to take back what he had said before, so he immediately made a statement and gave it to him. , He really didn't want to refuse.

Accepting Bashar’s gratitude, Li Lan said with a smile on his face: “Actually, among the weapons and equipment that have already been shipped to Syria, I am in charge and sent another eight rhino main battle tanks. Presumably for the Syrian government, It's still very helpful."

"Thank you again." Hearing Li Lan's words, Bashar bowed again to thank Li Lan. He really did not expect that there would be such an episode on the ship carrying arms.

The other eight people around saw that Li Lan had sent out two warships and eight main battle tanks in this way, and they all admired them immediately. After all, there are several heads of state in this world who can do this. The opponent is not yet an ally.

"President Li, if you are so generous, will it affect the infrastructure construction in Somalia?" Putin on the side asked after seeing that Li Lan and Bashar had reached an agreement.

Faced with such a tentative question, Li Lan did not hesitate at all, and replied generously: "I raised the army by myself, and it has nothing to do with the government."

This is no secret. As long as you pay attention to Somalia's finances, you can clearly see that in Somalia, government finances and defense finances have always been separated.Government revenue will not enter the national defense finance, and Somalia has been rumors about military expenditures from the outside world, and the answer has long been answered. Li Lan relies all on raising such a modern army.

Putin asked this question only for further confirmation. Now this question has the clearest answer.

"It's no wonder that Mr. President is so generous. Now I admire President Li a little bit more. I can raise a world-class navy, army, and air force. I believe that you are definitely the richest person in the world, not one of them. "Christina said with emotion.

"President Christina is praised, no one dare to really say that a certain person is the richest person in the world." Li Lan waved his hand and said.

Seeing Li Lan's humble appearance, when everyone here compares, they instantly feel that he and others are weaker than the magical young president in front of him.

"Now President Bashar has agreed, what about you?" At this time, Chief One spoke.

Hearing the words of Chief One, the few remaining people looked at each other, and then nodded one after another. In fact, none of them had any reason to refuse.

Seeing this, Li Lan said, "Everyone, if everyone agrees to this agreement, then sit down and discuss the main terms."

"Yeah." Everyone nodded at the same time, began to sit around the oval dining table on the balcony, and began to agree on the basic framework and discuss the details inside.

Now, the general terms have been revised. In addition to mutual economic, trade and energy cooperation, the most important thing is the unified opinion on international and regional affairs and the military presence.

Cooperation in the economic, trade and energy fields needs to be entrusted to government personnel of various countries for consultation, and their main discussion is the issue of unified opinions on international issues.

This is not difficult. As the saying goes, one party has difficulties and all parties support. If you want to coordinate, you need to communicate.Li Lan's suggestion is to establish a satellite video hotspot, and once a major issue requires everyone to discuss and discuss together, hold such a video conference to coordinate opinions.

However, because many of these ten countries are in the north and south, the time difference needs to be adjusted. At least everyone has decided that at 11 o'clock in China Beijing time, as a normal video time point, this is to avoid each one. National rest time.

As for emergencies, emergency arrangements are naturally needed, so a telephone hotspot also needs to be established.It just so happens that every national capital has its own satellite encrypted mobile phone. After the agreement is officially signed, the encrypted contact information of all mobile phones must be announced to the heads of other member states.

After this issue has been negotiated, all that is left is to talk about the military and the assistance situation.This time, Li Lan didn't favor one another. In the hands of No. One, Li Lan generously presented a set of regional air defense missiles to Palestine.And really like a prodigal, he presented two sea scorpions each from Pakistan, Iran, and Eritrea.

Venezuela and Argentina also received gifts from Li Lan, but in these two countries, Li Lan gave invader fighters.

Seeing Li Lan who is like a good-for-profit boy, Putin also couldn't sit down as the head of No. 1. Although in the end, the other seven countries did not receive the donated weapons, but they received the economic assistance promised by China and Russia.Especially in Palestine and Syria, Chief No. 1 and Putin both expressed very generously that they will support every country with humanitarian aid worth more than US$100 million.

When laughter gradually spread from the cabin, the general content of an agreement was slowly formed, and the alliance of close partners was gradually improved.
