Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 716

Li Lan's words are not without a target, and joining the WTO is not without a threshold. Whoever wants to join can join.

In order for a country or region to join the World Trade Organization, it must go through an application, review of the trade system, bilateral negotiations, and complete the conditions for joining.

After the application, there is a long period of review. After the review is passed, unilateral negotiations will be held with each member. It is nothing more than the negotiation of a trade plan acceptable to both parties before the two parties trade. Under fixed tariffs , Successfully reached an agreement with trading nations.

Complete the joining conditions.When the working group has completed its review of the applicant’s trade system and the bilateral negotiations are over, the working group can enter the stage of finalizing the conditions for joining.At this stage, the working group listed the results of the review of the trade system and the agreements reached through bilateral negotiations in the working group’s report, accession to the protocol, and schedule of concessions.

The final package consisting of the working group report, accession protocol and concession schedule will be submitted to the World Trade Council or the Ministerial Conference for consideration.If a two-thirds majority of the members of the World Trade Organization agree, the applicant can sign the protocol, join the World Trade Organization, and become an official member.

Joining the WTO will not bring disaster overnight, nor will it bring prosperity overnight.After joining the WTO, the Somali market will not be fully opened up immediately, the Somali economy will not become a purely free market economy, and the prices of domestic products will not be fully integrated with international standards and foreign products will continue to enter the market.

Russia joined the World Trade Organization for eighteen years, which is like a marathon for eighteen years.In Li Lan's view, it may be the next eighteen years for Somalia to go.In this world of entangled interests, any move will be deeply considered.Was carefully pondered.

Especially for a country like Somalia, a poor country with a bit of military strength, the whole world is not less vigilant about it than Russia.After all, the WTO is a democratic institution without any similar.

WT operates secretly and is not obligated to explain its actions to member states or others. WT’s country representatives are mostly trade lawyers who often clear customs because of the needs of enterprises. The organization also upholds the belief in the market and tends to benefit the enterprise. tilt.Often, local environmental laws and labor laws are frustrated and cannot be enforced.

Some countries express dissatisfaction with the unfair mechanism under the WTO framework. For example, the agreement is reached through discussion in a small group composed of several countries, which often compresses the rights and interests of other "unimportant" countries, etc. Under this system, most Developing countries are also less powerful enough to oppose some resolutions.

At the same time, this organization is also full of prejudices. Many African members are almost excluded from the organization. Any organization's resolutions hardly need to ask the opinions of small and poor countries.

But Somalia is different.In any case, today's Somalia is not the original Somalia, and Li Lan is not the kind of person who can be at the mercy of others.Once Somalia joins the World Trade Organization, there must be a word.If you want to leave Somalia alone, Li Lan will not agree.

Therefore, Somalia wants to join the WTO smoothly.It's not just a simple application.The more members, the greater the complexity.

"We have also taken this into consideration. So we are just making preparations. If we can't join in later. I believe it will not cause harm to our economy." Farah said.

"I can feel relieved if I can think about it like this. I don't need to be too concerned about joining WTO, but I can't just let it go. Let everything go." Li Lan said.

The two looked at each other, nodded, and said at the same time: "We understand."

"Is there anything else?" Li Lan asked.

The two shook their heads at the same time and were about to get up and retire, but before their bodies moved, Li Lan said: "It's almost noon, stay for dinner, and there will be a military meeting in the afternoon, although it has nothing to do with government departments. But I still hope you two will participate."

"This is not so good!" Muhammad scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"Does it mean that in a high position, you must hide your previous friendships. Shouldn't everyone eat together again? It's been a long time since I had dinner and chat again. I miss the original days, simple but warm." Li Lan remembered.

"Then we're welcome." Farah and Mohammedi both smiled on their faces and said with great interest.

Li Lan also smiled upon seeing this.

At noon, Lin Meiqi had already prepared a rich lunch. It was originally a lunch for five people. Thanks to the participation of Farah and Muhammad, it was a bit more lively. Even Li Lan had a drink.

After lunch, the two of them chatted with Li Lan for another half an hour. It was not until 1 pm, when the military meeting was held on time, that they entered the military meeting hall on the second floor at the same time.

In the conference hall at this moment, all levels of generals from the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff Headquarters are present. On the front wall of the conference hall, a huge map is also presented in front of everyone. This is a three-dimensional map of Ho Chi Minh City. Every street and alley is detailed, and even the flow of people and vehicles at the moment above are clearly presented on the map.

The generals inside saw Farah and Muhammad coming in behind Li Lan. Although they were a little curious about what these two big men came over, no one spoke, and they put this doubt in their hearts.

"The meeting begins." After all the people arrived and the door to the meeting room was closed, Ling Liang got up and announced the official start of the meeting, and continued: "First of all, I will introduce the results of the next phase of the strategy, since we sent the expeditionary force to Vietnam until now Five months have passed, during which we experienced continuous torrential rains in Southeast Asia. Although it had a great impact on our overall strategic process, with the efforts of frontline soldiers and the difficulties caused by various external factors, the staff headquarters was completed step by step. The strategic outline formulated. For this, the frontline fighters have contributed a lot.

At present, we have completed the second phase of the strategy, successfully resolved the war in central Vietnam, and reached an agreement with the Cambodian army to prevent southern guerrillas from infiltrating our rear through Cambodia.The period before the third phase of the strategy is launched.In addition to rest and reorganization, the troops will further encircle and suppress the guerrillas operating behind us.

Today's meeting.It is to conduct a comprehensive discussion on the third phase of the strategy and improve the possible shortcomings.When this strategy is finalized, we will focus on the content of the strategy to deploy the next stage of battle.Therefore, I hope everyone can speak freely and make bold suggestions."

A brief summary, and a capable beginning, Ling Liang has already opened the conversation of this meeting.

Li Lan did not remain silent, and continued to follow Ling Liang's words: "The words of General Ling before were an affirmation to the frontline fighters. What I want to say is that the frontline fighters are very fortunate and hardworking. Although you are deep in your homeland, There is no real danger, but I can see your efforts. The results of the past five months are also your contribution. Without everyone’s efforts, the soldiers on the front lines would not be able to enjoy all-round intelligence and various information. Help, war is never a person's business. It is a group, and the credit is not a person, but the collective honor.

Of course, I also hope that everyone can continue to maintain this enthusiasm.War needs soldiers, soldiers need you, promise me.Can it be done?"

As soon as Li Lan's voice fell, everyone in the conference room immediately stood up.At the same time shouting: "Can, can..."

"Very well, all sit down." Li Lan pressed his hands.After indicating that they all sat down, they continued: "The strategy of the first phase is to enable our troops to open up the situation in Vietnam. The strategy of the second phase is to ensure that we have a safe rear, and to play our own fighting rhythm. Both strategies have been perfectly achieved. I am very satisfied.

The third-stage strategy is also our last strategy, which is lore.The foreign military is laughing at us only step by step, saying that we are using modern troops to fight positions during World War II, laughing that we will not use modern military tactics, it is completely wasting such an excellent army.

In the face of outsiders' ridicule, I believe that your mood is the same as mine, dismissive of it.However, we can laugh it off because they don't understand us at all.But it was a big blow to the image of an army.Now, our opportunity has come. The strategy for the third phase of the Vietnam War is to restore this image and give outsiders a fierce counterattack.

Therefore, I don't want to see failure of this key strategy. We have not failed since we established the first force.Neither now nor in the future can fail.do you understand?"

"understand."

"Very well, I won't say much if there are too many. Now we will start the detailed discussion of the third phase strategy." Li Lan said.

As soon as Li Lan's voice fell, Tan Ya stood up, walked to the huge map, picked up the baton, and reduced the scale of the map until the entire southern part of Vietnam was displayed, she said: "The area we are seeing is the area that Vietnam is still in the hands of the enemy. This area covers an area of ​​90,000 square kilometers, which occupies a quarter of the total area of ​​Vietnam.

However, in this quarter of the land area, the enemy's army of more than one million has gathered. Today's enemy has gathered nearly half of this million army around the Cam Ranh Bay, where the enemy and our military The confrontation area.The large units of my expeditionary army and the large units of friendly forces also gathered in this place.

Now, after talking about the enemy and our situation, let me talk about the third phase of the strategy, the codename of this phase of strategy-lore.In other words, within this strategic plan, we will complete the lore against the enemy and completely end the Vietnam War.

In this step of the strategy, we will completely bypass Cam Ranh Bay, do not make any contact with the enemy's heavy forces, and directly pounce on Saigon. In this phase, the Marine Corps First Division will be the main force of the strategy."

Because of confidentiality, the strategy of the third stage appeared in front of everyone for the first time, and Tan Ya's words made it difficult for many people to understand.

"Excuse me, General, the enemy has assembled a large number of heavy troops from Cam Ranh Bay to the border with Cambodia in the west, divided into several echelons. Instead of fighting with us one city and one city, they have adopted superior forces to fight across the board. The method of tactics. Under such conditions, even if our Marines successfully land in Saigon, the opponent’s subsequent echelon can immediately return to defense. Even before our Marines have successfully landed, the enemy’s reinforcements will enter Saigon. By then, our Marines will not be alone." A brigadier general with the staff headquarters armband stood up and asked.

"You are right. Therefore, the Marine Corps must get help from the army. Our army must bypass the Cam Ranh Bay where the enemy's heavy forces are assembled, and enter Saigon by surprise." Tan Ya said.

"Although I still don't know how to bypass the enemy's heavy forces, I still have another problem here. Once our main army force appears in Saigon, the enemy on the front line of Cam Ranh Bay will inevitably counterattack across the board, and we will be 200,000. The main force of the army will face the encirclement of the enemy's millions of troops. By then, even if we win, the troops will inevitably lose a lot." The brigadier said again.

"Indeed, but don't forget that there are hundreds of thousands of friendly forces behind us, and they are more well-equipped friendly forces. The core of our third-stage strategy, we still need the help of friendly forces. Their purpose is to strategically From the very beginning, we launched an attack on Cam Ranh Bay, dragging down most of the enemy’s forces as much as possible. In addition, our main force will enter Cambodia and bypass the enemy’s heavily armed areas to complete the attack on Saigon.” Tan Yabian Said that while using the baton to point out the entire strategy line, and briefly introduced a few key points of the strategy, she asked: "Who has any questions now?"

"From Cam Ranh Bay to Saigon, there is only a distance of 300 kilometers. Even if our troops successfully received Cambodia and attacked Saigon, we could not complete the occupation of Saigon before the arrival of large-scale enemy reinforcements." Tan Ya Just after the voice fell, a colonel got up and said: "And according to effective intelligence, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of Da Nang, the Saigon authorities strictly forbid the people of Saigon to leave the city on a large scale, and even every enemy city has a large number of Civilians are mixed in the enemy's army.

In order to implement guerrilla warfare tactics, the authorities of the Vietnamese People’s Army even decided to mix the army with civilians and distribute weapons to the civilians to arm a considerable number of urban guerrilla militias in the city.The purpose is very simple, is to let us bomb, a little more worry, so that after the outbreak of the ground war, they have more surviving resistance.This prevented us from using weapons of mass destruction again to completely destroy the city."
