Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 741 AU Summit

On the air route from Bagua City to Addis Ababa, a huge special plane was flying at a high speed of Mach 1 above the clouds. At the speed of sound, the fuselage of the special plane was stretched by more than ten centimeters, and all the planes The staff did not feel any discomfort.

After the ceremony to pay homage to the martyrs, Li Lan and Lin Meiqi personally condoned the families of the fallen soldiers, and then went to the Three-Service Rehabilitation Center to visit the seriously injured soldiers. Then Li Lan took Lin Meiqi on the prepared special plane and went to Asia. Addis Ababa, ready to participate in the African Union summit.

This is the first time Li Lan has participated in the African Union summit. As an intercontinental alliance, the members of the African Union are also limited to local African countries. At this summit, all the capitals of African countries will be present.

The original summit was held more than a year ago, but it happened that Somalia sent troops to Ethiopia at the African Union Conference Center in Addis Ababa. There was no environment to hold the summit, and it was postponed. It's almost two years.

Today’s restart of the AU summit is also the schedule decided within the AU. The venue is still in Addis Ababa, but it is different from previous meetings. Today, the flag waving on Addis Ababa is already It became a white five-pointed star on a blue background and became the sovereign territory of the Democratic Republic of Somalia.

And Ethiopia, the original power in East Africa, has long since fallen, and the formed government is weak. Naturally, no one will attend this African Union summit.After all, they who once owned Addis Ababa have been driven out of this place, and they have no face to return here in this form.

Dynasties changed.How much made every head of state who came here a little embarrassed.

African Union Conference Center, this building has been completed within a few years.Just, today also ushered in the excitement that has been several years apart.The smoke that the war brought to this city has completely dissipated, and Addis Ababa has restored its former tranquility, as if the battle that took place more than a year ago was just Nanke Yimeng.

Perhaps only the Somali flag flying on the streets, and the police and police cars carrying the Somali national emblem always tell people here that this place has changed hands under the war, and the new government was elected by them.

Gbagbo International Airport on the outskirts of Addis Ababa, this renovated international airport.It has become the second largest airport in Somalia. The original Ethiopian Airlines has also been acquired by Somali National Airlines. With the addition of the fourth largest airline in Africa, Somali National Airlines has also become the second largest airline in Africa.

Many international routes have also resumed in more than a year, and many routes to Russia and Asia have also been opened. Originally, Ethiopian Airlines purchased eight Boeing 787 Dreamliners from Boeing, but only paid for four. Order.Because Boeing took the initiative to cancel the order, the deposit and liquidated damages were all returned.

Affected by the United States, Boeing reluctantly abandoned the order and also announced it.The follow-up maintenance and repair contracts for the four Dreamliner aircraft that have already been delivered were also cancelled and liquidated damages were paid.In other words, Boeing has nothing to do with the current Somali National Airlines.

The four Dreamliner will malfunction in the future.They are also not responsible for repairs and maintenance, and even several other Boeing technology models previously sold to Ethiopia.Boeing also committed unilateral defaults.And all liquidated damages are paid by the US government.

And Somalia National Airlines is very happy to get back a large amount of liquidated damages, and then transfer these Boeing airliners.All are handed over to the engineers for all aspects of maintenance and inspection.The special equipment originally belonging to Boeing was further replaced.

Nowadays, Somali National Airlines has its own domestically-made passenger planes, and many old-fashioned passenger planes are also ready to be laid off and replaced by new forces.

In the last twenty-four hours, the international VIP passage at Gbagbo International Airport has also been extremely busy. Special planes of the heads of state from all over Africa landed in the airport, the special passages for foreign guests, private cars and reception staff, non-stop Busy.

The security of the entire airport has also been strengthened to the highest level. At the same time, after every foreign guest gets off the plane, he is also inspected by medical personnel in all directions, just like every foreign tourist entering the country.

Especially in the heads of state and staff from West Africa, not only all people have to undergo safety inspections, but even the aircraft must be immediately disinfected.

After flying for more than an hour, the special plane also officially arrived at Addis Ababa International Airport. Under the command of the ground command center, the special plane slowly landed on the airport. At this moment, the governor of the Western Somalia Autonomous Region Muratou has already led it. All the upper and lower levels of the autonomous region came to the airport to meet Li Lan.

The two sides met, and after a brief greeting, they took a special car to the East African Union Conference Center.

At the AU Conference Center, special rooms have been prepared for the arrival of heads of state. The heads of each country are arranged in the conference center building, also for the convenience of exchanges between heads of state.

When Li Lan arrived, all the heads of African countries had arrived. As the host, he was the latest.

This conference center has not been damaged in the previous wars. The landmark building built by China to aid the African Union at the time is still one of the most dazzling symbols of Addis Ababa.

Other high-rise buildings in the city center echo in a distance. In Addis Ababa, landmarks have their own unique importance. Many roads are not named, and people often use landmark objects to identify directions.The inward façade of the office building adopts the geometrical composition of a grid, with a Chinese-African cultural color.The facade facing the exterior is outlined with vertical lines, which not only has a shading effect, but also visually makes the building taller.Vertical lines are also an important element of the architectural complex form. They go from top to bottom, fold at the bottom and penetrate through to the base, becoming a horizontal line. After continuing to the other end, they fold upwards in one go.

Several functional blocks of the building form a complete rectangular plane, which is arranged in parallel with the main roads of the city on the east side of the site.The building retreats about 100 meters from the east road, forming an impressive trapezoidal entrance plaza.The main entrance of the building is facing the entrance plaza on the east side, and the stepped greenery on the west side is gradually transitioning to the direction facing the original AU headquarters.

Today Addis Ababa is an important economic city in Somalia. It has 120 international delegations and embassies. It is Somalia's most important frontier of international diplomacy besides the gossip city.The headquarters of the African Union and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa also reside here.

After Li Lan arrived, colorful flags were flying outside this iconic building, and national flags from African countries were already flying on the flagpoles in the square, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going.

The location of the parking lot is also full of special vehicles for the heads of state flying the national flags. Most of these special vehicles are prepared by Somalia. However, these special vehicles also represent the sovereignty of a country while the flags of other countries are inserted.

When Li Lan walked into the conference center, the sky was already close to dusk. At this time, it was time for the heads of state to prepare for a meal. As the host, Li Lan had already arranged it, and his arrival was just in time.

Under the guidance of Muratou, when Li Lan walked into the ring restaurant of the conference center, the heads of other African countries also began to arrive one after another.

In the circular restaurant, Li Lan is standing under the front wall where the African Union flag is hung. The flag pattern has a green background, symbolizing that Africa is a continent full of hope. The 53 stars on the map of Africa represent the 53 members of the African Union.

Today’s dinner is said to be a reception for the heads of state. In fact, everyone knows that the strong rise of Somalia makes the whole African continent like it and others.No matter what purpose the President of Somalia invited them this time, they can only parry.

Over the years, as a member of African countries, Somalia's performance has exceeded the expectations of African countries. Today, Somalia's military strength is invincible throughout Africa.

Somalia can ignore even giants like the United States and NATO, let alone these small African countries, which have no economy or strength, and need assistance from others all day long.

Among the heads of state who have come here, there are still many who are willing to see Somalia become stronger, and it is best to get rid of the situation of being at the mercy of people in Africa.If you say that you worship the mountain, it is better to go to another country of race and skin color as your eldest brother, it is better to choose a country of the same clan and origin, at least there is more room.

And since Eritrea followed behind Somalia, it has obtained great benefits. Even under the leadership of Somalia, it has received economic assistance from China and Russia and other countries. It has also established a stronger army with the help of Somalia. The territory has been enlarged.

With good examples, many countries also envy Eritrea.

Of course, there are some people who do not want to see Somalia become stronger. For example, Kenya, Egypt and other countries close to Western regimes have inseparable interests from Western regimes. Somalia's further growth will naturally threaten their interests.

For someone who might affect their cake at any time, even if they want to remain friendly, their original allies will not agree.Therefore, now it can only go all the way to black.

Whether he likes Somalia or not, at this AU summit, Li Lan is not here to set the stage, nor is he here to recruit younger brothers. He is just to expand Somalia's influence in the AU.
