Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 672: Secretly Talking with Putin

In the Bagua City base, the head of state special line connecting Bagua City and Moscow is officially connected.

After Li Lan’s wedding, Putin and Li Lan met for the first time, but this meeting was in the video.

By their side, all kinds of staff are ready, mainly for strategic reference and judgment data for the heads of both sides.

The telephone conversation between the two was formal. Although it was not made public, it was not a secret between the two governments.At the beginning, after talks about the next stage of business cooperation between the two countries.Both of them invariably dismissed all irrelevant staff around them, and the video communication, which was originally relatively confidential, became more confidential.

"The result of the last consultation between the two parties, I don't know how President Li is thinking about it?" After all the unrelated personnel left, Putin went straight to the subject.

"President Putin, you should be cleared. Vietnam is not an ordinary country. What's more, there is the entire NATO behind it. If my soldiers worked hard and luckily won the war, you think I will use the lives of my men to be a partner. Do you provide such free benefits?" Although Li Lan did not directly say the rejection, the meaning of rejection in her words was quite obvious.

"I think President Li has misunderstood. We will naturally provide all-round assistance and will not lose out to Somalia." Putin was not discouraged. As long as the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet can have a naval port in Southeast Asia, it is really a gold medal. .

Putin, who is trying to build global Russian influence, most wants to control the Strait of Malacca and the Mediterranean.The main transportation hub connecting the three oceans is the result that every ocean careerist must achieve.

For a long time.Both of these places are under the control of the United States. Whether it is the Suez Canal or Southeast Asia, there are American military bases everywhere, forming direct control of the world's major waterways.

Once a global war breaks out, the United States can control all major shipping routes in the world through military bases stationed by its allies.

Although Russia cannot compete with the United States in this regard, as long as there is a chance.It is necessary to weaken US control of the world as much as possible.Cam Ranh Bay is very close to the Strait of Malacca and not far from the US naval base in Singapore. Once the US-Russian crisis breaks out, the Russian navy can respond quickly and take a certain amount of initiative.

Moreover, Southeast Asian countries have always been very close to the United States. Russia has always been at a disadvantage in this regard, if it can have a naval base.That will have an extremely important role for Russia to expand its military influence in Southeast Asia.

Cam Ranh Bay is a big move, and Putin attaches great importance to it. There was no chance before, but now he has to fight for it.So, even in his opinion.Somalia had little chance of successfully occupying Vietnam, but he still chose to support and help.

Vietnam has recently gotten too close to the West, and Russia is also quite unhappy. The Russian side is also very concerned about establishing a new pro-Russian government.

only.To put ideas into action, Somalia’s consent must be obtained.Fortunately, the relationship between the two countries is still close, and there is a lot of cooperation in the military field.

Putin also knows a little bit about Li Lan. He knows the nature of this young man. If he wants to get something in Somalia, he must first pay.Therefore, when he decided to control Vietnam manually in Somalia, he was happy to send all the Vietnamese intelligence collected by Russia to Somalia free of charge.

Sure enough, Putin's actions won Li Lan's gratitude, and Putin wanted Cam Ranh's idea, and it was possible for both sides to sit down and talk.Otherwise, if you want to empty the white wolf from the beginning, no one will agree.

Now, seeing Li Lan’s attitude, Putin also knows more clearly that more efforts are needed to win Li Lan’s consent.

"My soldiers are being born and dying in Vietnam. Does President Putin also want to send troops into Vietnam? Let us work together to establish a brand new regime." Li Lan said here, suddenly realized, said: "If so, then I really want to thank President Putin. After all, Vietnam’s more than one million troops puts a lot of pressure on me. If the other side resorts to guerrilla warfare and breaks it into pieces, I am afraid I will fall into the perennial struggle of the US military model. "

Although Putin already had an idea, he couldn't help muttering in his heart when he heard Li Lan's words: Little Fox

"President Lee, please don't get me wrong. Russia and Vietnam have no grievances. So Russia is not a military alliance. Even if I want to send troops to help you, I still have a bad name. I'm really sorry for that." Putin categorically Denying Li Lan's temptation, but for the best port in Southeast Asia, he went on to say: "Of course, in other areas we will provide greater funding for the Somali military, such as weapons and equipment, or military intelligence."

"Then I don't know how far this kind of help will be?" Li Lan asked.

"As long as Somalia needs it, I can guarantee that in addition to sending troops directly, other parties can talk about satisfactory results." Putin believes that Li Lan has absolutely no reason to refuse such a huge signal of friendship.

"Then I would like to thank President Putin for his kindness." Li Lan smiled slightly.

At the other end of the video, after Putin heard Li Lan's words, his face flashed with joy, but after hearing Li Lan's next sentence, the smile on his face gradually faded.

"However, I still think that at this time, President Putin should think more about the eastern part of Russia, where it has not been peaceful recently." Li Lan has no intention of agreeing to Putin. Russia has had a very unhappy relationship with the United States recently. This is what Li Lan wants to see most, but he is absolutely unwilling to use the blood of his soldiers to pave the way for Russia.

Therefore, no matter what benefits Putin offers, as long as he does not send troops directly, Li Lan will not be moved at all.

"What does President Li mean?" Putin's expression is not very good. Ukraine's affairs have already made him sleepless. Joining the European Union and breaking away from the economic relationship with Russia is equivalent to exposing the entire eastern gate of Russia. In front of NATO, if the time comes to evolve, NATO's anti-missile system is erected at the gate, then Russia will not be able to sleep even more.

By then, Russia will lose even the last outlet to sea in the east. Putin is also more concerned about the situation in Ukraine than in Southeast Asia.

"What I mean is very simple. On the issue of Vietnam and Ukraine, we remain intact and consistent, and fully assist each other in intelligence and military affairs. At that time, if President Putin really needs Cam Ranh Bay, then take Kerry. Miya’s naval port was exchanged, and in this war, unconditional military assistance and intelligence support were provided to me." This time it is Li Lan's turn to speak loudly.

Although Cam Ranh Bay is an important military port to guard Southeast Asia, the Black Sea is also the backyard of Europe. Although it is at risk of being cut off by NATO at any time, it is still very useful to maintain a certain military presence in the Black Sea during non-war times.

Moreover, in Li Lan’s view, in terms of the true strategic position, the Black Sea and Cam Ranh Bay are actually not the same, but the difficulty of the Vietnam War is definitely more difficult than resolving the Ukrainian issue. Since the two sides are cooperating, it must be On a fair position.

"This is too tough." Putin has no smile on his face. Li Lan's words are very direct. If you want the interests of Vietnam, you must trade the interests of the Black Sea. If you support my military operations in Vietnam, I will support you. Planning in Ukraine.

"Even if I can support your military operations in Vietnam, how can you support Russia's operations in Ukraine? As far as I know, the regular Somali troops have been sent to Southeast Asia." Putin did not directly agree to Li Lan, and It raised questions about Li Lan's strength.

If you want Russia's unconditional support for the Vietnam War, you must always have enough bargaining chips, otherwise everything will be useless, and Russia is not a good guy.

"President Putin does not need to worry about this. The Ukrainian issue is very sensitive and involves the whole of Europe. The United States' attitude towards it is definitely much tougher than on Vietnam's issue. I also believe that President Putin must be a last resort. Otherwise, I would never choose to fight against the whole of Europe and the United States. It is even more impossible to send troops directly." Li Lan firmly said.

"But I still don't know what Somalia has the ability to directly help me in this regard." Putin shook his head. He still did not understand the source of Li Lan's confidence.

"Of course, the regular army can't help, but what about the irregular army? I have a very good mercenary company with thousands of people and extremely well equipped. This time the war broke out in Vietnam, I am a mercenary. The company is still conducting intense training locally. I believe that this is what President Putin needs." Li Lan took out his bargaining chip.

"Is that the East African mercenary group called armed mcv?" Putin asked.

"Right, since this company was established, it has undertaken various tasks, and it seems that it has not failed." Li Lan said.

After getting an affirmative answer, Putin's mood slowly relaxed. Although Russia also has a very elite Alpha operation team, the personnel are really too few.It is impossible to change the entire huge Ukraine, but if there are thousands of mercenaries participating, the result will be very different.

Li Lan’s bargaining chip impressed Putin very easily, but this does not mean that Putin can agree to Li Lan’s request. After all, free military aid is an extremely heavy burden based on Russia’s current economic and military expenditures. .
