Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 851 Politician Li Lan

In front of the Presidential Palace in Islamabad, reporters from all over the world lined up in front of the southern gate of the Presidential Palace.?

Zheng Xing, formerly a Somali correspondent of China National Television Station, has now become a well-known war correspondent. He can be seen in every war that Somalia participates in. Many Somali military operations are his first time. External disclosure.

When Li Lan visited Pakistan, he just retired from the Kenyan battlefield and rushed to Islamabad as soon as possible, because he is not only a war correspondent stationed abroad, but also the only foreign reporter who can meet Li Lan at close range.

Li Lan was involved in important diplomatic work, he could shoot at close range, because of the time schedule, he did not follow Li Lan's team to Moscow, Li Lan first committed Pakistan, he did not want to miss it.

However, when he came to Islamabad, the open talks between the two countries had passed, and he swallowed his lunch hastily, and he hurried to the Presidential Palace, because there was the most important signing ceremony in the afternoon. Sign in the afternoon.

He has missed half of the exciting content, and he is not in the mood to enjoy Pakistani cuisine. All his thoughts are to record the signing ceremony in the afternoon.

The signing ceremony in the afternoon also attracted a lot of attention. When he came to the presidential palace, the reporters had lined up and hurriedly handed their cameras to the staff of the presidential palace, and they walked to the end of the line. , Took out his reporter certificate and invitation letter.

Coming along the way, he didn't know how many times he had taken out his ID, from Islamabad Airport to here.There are roadblocks, checkpoints, five steps and one post along the way.Ten steps and one sentry, repeated interrogation.After several inversions.

In front of the gate of the Presidential Palace, there are more stringent checks. As for the reporters’ cameras and all electronic equipment, they must be brought into the venue by the staff, and then help the reporters to place them in a fixed position. The staff returned the camera to them.

Rules like this are the same everywhere, especially in Middle Eastern countries.Reporters will face more stringent investigations, and there will be more security steps.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, when it was time to enter the field, the soldiers of the Pakistani internal affairs troops in front of the door began to check their documents and let them go.

Zheng Xing in the queue counted roughly. The signing ceremony attracted nearly 80 reporters, which was almost as many as he guessed, because this is not an ordinary signing ceremony. After the signing ceremony, the two heads of state will meet on the spot. Answer questions from reporters.Compared to the signing ceremony.The real news value is in the Q&A period after the reporter.

The speed of the inspection was not slow, and less than ten minutes passed when it was Zheng Xing's turn.

As the team walked to the door, Zheng Xing took out his passport and invitation letter.The oncoming Pakistani internal guard soldier took out the form, while the soldier on the side double-checked against the computer database.Check one by one, after confirming that they are correct.Zheng Xing walked through the gate of the presidential palace and passed the metal detector.After a thorough body search and inspection, he can then walk towards his position.

Slowly pacing inside the presidential palace, Zheng Xing carefully watched the layout of the presidential palace. He had heard the seniors introduce that the presidential palace of Pakistan is a very beautiful place. He didn't know when he could come next time. He didn't want to hurry. But there was no impression.

The buildings of the presidential palace are light and elegant, without any vulgarity.It is a grand building group composed of three levels of rectangular parallelepiped buildings. The external outline is mainly straight and rectangular, with almost no arcs or circles.In terms of length, width, and height, the bottom layer is the largest, the second layer is the second, and the third layer is the second.The gate of Fumen is a long cuboid, about 78 meters high, two to three meters wide, and three to four meters deep. The end of the gate is the gate.

The interior of the presidential palace is magnificent and magnificent, which makes people feel the extraordinary style of the imperial palace.The hall is about fifty to sixty meters long from left to right, about thirty to forty meters wide from front to back, and about twenty to thirty meters high from top to bottom.There are chandeliers on the ceiling, carpets on the floor, and portraits on the walls.Portraits of previous presidents are hung on the left wall, and a brief introduction is inserted below each portrait.

Among these portraits, Pervez Musharraf's is also included.Musharraf was the president of Pakistan, the chief of the army’s general staff, the rank of general, and a famous politician.Five years ago, the Pakistan Anti-Terrorism Court issued an arrest warrant for him, alleging that he was involved in the assassination of Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

Last year, he returned to China after four years of "self-exile" and planned to participate in the congressional election, but was arrested and will be exiled.What's interesting is that the portrait of such a failed hero is also hung on the wall of the presidential palace as the former president, which more or less reflects the value of the Pakistani culture of not judging a hero with success or failure and commenting on a person objectively and impartially.

At the center of the left side of the Presidential Hall, there is another gate, about 4 meters high and 3 meters wide.Passing through the gate, you enter another spacious, tall rectangular hall.On the left-hand side of the entrance door, next to the door and the wall is a rectangular podium, about one to twenty square meters, covered with carpets and a few chairs. Below the podium is a movable chair.On the wall where the right hand of the entrance door is not against the door, a huge oil painting portrait of Pakistan’s founding father Muhammad Ali Jinnah hangs high, solemnly and solemnly.It looks like a lecture or lecture hall.

At the center of the presidential hall, along the space between the main entrance and the main entrance, about a dozen cameras have been set up, facing the left side.About ten meters away from the camera, a table was placed. The miniature national flags of Soba and Soba were placed on the table. Two brown-black leather chairs were placed behind the table.

A person whom Zheng Xing did not know pointed to a table in the distance and whispered to another person: "The Soba cooperation agreement will be signed there in a while."

More than ten meters away from the camera, there are two podiums for standing speeches. Microphones have been placed on them. It is estimated that they were prepared for Li Lan and Hu Saien to meet the journalists after attending the signing ceremony of the cooperation agreement.

When Zheng Xing entered the hall, there were already about one or two hundred people inside, and people were still coming in and out from the main entrance.But it looks like more people are coming in.Go out less.Among the one or two hundred people in the hall, there are reporters, officials, staff, and guards.These are easy to make preliminary and simple recognition from the appearance.

After seeing so many people of all kinds, Zheng Xing couldn't help but think that among the two hundred people, it is estimated that there are also intelligence personnel from various countries who use various identities as a cover. This is difficult to make scientific and accurate identification from the appearance.

Among the people, the most eye-catching is the Pakistani guards in uniforms who stand guard.Behind the table to be used for the signing of the Soba cooperation agreement stood two guards, who were about 180 cm tall and tall and burly.With a high spirit, bronze complexion, white uniform, holding a long javelin, the head of the javelin is decorated with flags and feathers, with strong ethnic characteristics.The guard stood with a javelin, his body straight, solemn and elegant, and his eyes kept straight.Not moving.

When the time came, the main entrance of the hall slowly opened, and the two figures of Li Lan and Hussein stepped out on the red carpet at the same time, and once sat down at the table.

After the signing ceremony begins.The staff of both sides began to place a contract in front of the two, and after signing the contract, both parties held the contract and faced the major media.

The signing process did not proceed very quickly, with dozens of officially printed contracts.It was signed for almost an hour, waiting for the last contract.It is also about the shipbuilding base, after the most critical contract is signed, Zheng Xing can clearly feel the various emotions of the people around him.

Those who are delighted have.There are also worries, and there are inexplicable gloaters.

As for Zheng Xing himself, he is still quite happy, because he knows a little bit about this shipbuilding base in the long ago negotiations, his country has also spent a lot of thoughts, today this contract was finally signed, the country's purpose is also Reached.And he also knew that it was his own motherland who really funded the construction of this shipbuilding base.

He did not know the significance of the state’s arrangement and why a shipbuilding base with such a huge cost was placed in Pakistan, but he understood that national strategy is not a trifling matter, nor can it be emotionally used. This move is bound to have a bearing on national strategy.

The signing of the last contract means that it is time for reporters to ask questions.

After the staff took the contract, someone announced that the reporter's question time had started, and reporters with questions could raise their hands to ask questions.

The reporters raised their arms almost immediately, and the reporters designated by the staff spoke out.

At the beginning, there were some national political and international issues. Li Lan and Hussein also had a lot of answers. After the first few hot spots, the following questions quickly pointed to Kenya and Uganda and the UN's response to the war in Somalia. Sanctions in Somalia.

Hussein was naturally on Li Lan’s side, and Li Lan, who faced this problem, could only continue to emphasize: “The dispatch of troops to receive South Sudan is not intended to attack Uganda. This time, South Sudan is taking the lead in South Sudan. A three-country joint counter-terrorism exercise was conducted on the border between Sudan and Uganda. We also took the opportunity to train the long-distance training capabilities of the troops. As for the warning from the Ministry of Defense of Somalia to Uganda, it was only an excessive language in the Ministry of Defense. On the way to Pakistan, I had already The telephone exchanges with the President of Uganda have greatly deepened the friendship between the two sides. President Museveni also invited our National Defense Forces to go to Uganda. I also asked Uganda to send a military team to Somalia to strengthen the anti-terrorism cooperation between the two countries.

Somalia is an African country. On the issue of African integration, principles will never change. We firmly oppose foreign forces interfering with Africa's integration process and preventing Africa from moving towards peace.Somalia has always been a heartbreaker for African friend countries. President Museveni is also willing to treat Somalia as a friend. Since it is a friend for military exchanges, it is also a normal thing.

In this military exercise, I also sought to resolve some problems in South Sudan and Uganda and strengthen the harmonious relations between neighboring countries.Regarding all speculations from the outside world, I can only say that my mouth is standing on others.It is no longer a day or two for outsiders to interfere in the construction of African integration. I have heard enough of similar remarks. I hope that the media from all over the world can be more objective and verify more when publishing articles.Don't lose the fairness of news in order to attract attention."

Zheng Xing in the audience looked at Li Lan and talked with Kaikai, and he was quite admired. He and Li Lan are old acquaintances. In the past few years, he has done many interviews with Li Lan alone, and the friendship is not bad.

Looking at Li Lan, who has been in the political arena in the past few years, he has seen growth, or more like a politician, and he really admires him.It is not to admire Li Lan's methods and power, but to admire his easygoing and constant demands when he leaves the political arena.

On the stage, Li Lan's answer continued: "The United Nations is an organization where all countries in the world solve problems together. Once it becomes a tool in the hands of others, then the United Nations really does not have much need to exist, because it has lost it. The meaning of existence, which is why it loses its binding force.

For a long time, Western countries have not stopped sanctions against Somalia. The UN sanctions resolution on Somalia has not had much impact on Somalia, because there are still many countries that are not satisfied with the UN resolutions in recent years and are not satisfied that it has become in the hands of others. This is a political tool, otherwise Somalia would not have so many friend countries.Right or wrong, naturally there are eyes to see, not just what is said."

With Li Lan's answer, the next question soon followed. The two on the stage were still answering questions. Some of the Western media naturally inevitably asked questions with a bit of troublesome color, but none of these. It's rare for two people.

Zheng Xing did not raise his hand, but listened to the emergence of each question, listening to the answers of the two on the stage, and recording important information.

Soon, some people's more concerned questions were all asked, Zheng Xing stopped recording and raised his right hand, and he was also spotted.

Pulling the corner of his clothes slightly, Zheng Xing took the microphone handed over by the staff and looked at Li Lan in front of him and asked: "Dear President Li Lan, my question is actually very simple, and it also involves the president's ** , If it’s inconvenient to answer, just assume I’ve never asked. Excuse me, the little girl who took the first lady off the plane before, who is yours?"

"She's called Sally, the daughter I recognize. An old man entrusted Sally to General Tan Ya in the last time of his life. I saw that she was very well-behaved, and she felt love." Li Lan on the stage, He smiled at Zheng Xing and replied.
