Red Alert Somalia

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has the third largest land area in Africa, after the Federation of Somalia and Algeria, and the fifth largest population in Africa. The latest statistics are more than 80 million.**

However, the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has more than two million square kilometers and a population of more than 80 million, is the world’s second largest river. Its economic aggregate is only 20 billion U.S. dollars, and the per capita GDP is only a little more than two hundred U.S. dollars. It is the poorest in the world. One of the countries.

There are no light and heavy industries, only ordinary processing industries. Processing mainly includes food, textiles, shoemaking, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electrical appliances, automobile assembly, wood processing, and building materials, whose output value accounts for 1.3% of GDP.Moreover, due to shortage of funds and insufficient supply of raw materials, the normal operating rate is only 30%. In recent years, it has gradually recovered with the support of the Somali Federation.

Industry and mining is the second largest fiscal revenue of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, mainly relying on minerals and exports, accounting for about 33% of the GDP.But it is agriculture that accounts for GDP. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a country dominated by agriculture, with annual crop income accounting for 45% of GDP.

The rest of the finances is to rely on the 13,000-kilometer-long river transport tax revenue of the Congo River to barely support the normal operation of this country, and it needs at least 1.1 billion US dollars of external assistance each year to be able to barely sustain it.

In the past, Belgium, France, the United States and other countries provided assistance to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and owed 5 billion US dollars in foreign debt.In recent years, it has basically relied on free assistance from the Somali Federation and the African Union.This also made the Somali shilling a hard currency to replace the US dollar in the Democratic Republic of Congo in just a few years.

Had it not been for the construction of railways in the past few years, driven by a large amount of funds from China and Somalia, the Democratic Republic of Congo had begun to have all light industries.This has broken through the dilemma of zero industry.

The smelting industry has also experienced tremendous development in the past few years.Congo's rich rubber and iron ore can be processed by itself.It has become one of the important driving forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo to stimulate mineral exports. With the start of the railway construction, the steelmaking enterprises invested by the Somali Federation have also officially put into operation in the Democratic Republic of Congo, becoming the only heavy industry.

This has also led to the increasing dependence of the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the Federation of Somalia.One of the benefits of economic growth is to deepen the relationship between the two countries. Compared with the traditional sovereign state Belgium and several creditor countries, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is now increasingly close to the Somali Federation.

In addition to industrial construction and financial assistance, the promotion of relations between the two countries also includes assistance in the livelihood of the people.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of the countries with the lowest average age in the world.With a population of 80 million, the average age per capita is only 43 years old.The Democratic Republic of the Congo is an equatorial country, and the whole country has a hot and humid climate and disease is rampant.And its own almost zero medical care has made disease mortality one of the top three countries in Africa.

At the same time, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is also one of the countries that receive the most international medical assistance. It can face a country with a population of 80 million. The so-called medical assistance can only help those who are blessed by the goddess of luck. More people are still in the country. He died of infectious diseases such as malaria, dysentery, trachoma, and AIDS.

Over the past few years, the Somali Federation has sent thousands of batches of disinfection machines.Air disinfection was carried out in areas with high risk of virus activity and populated cities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and millions of vaccines were provided free of charge to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and infants were given various vaccines free of charge.

Although this practice cannot be fully spread to the entire Democratic Republic of the Congo, it cannot completely eliminate the disease.However, the abnormal population deaths in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are also well controlled, and the number of people infected with the disease in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has also steadily declined.

The various actions of the Somali Federation have naturally won the favor of the entire Democratic Republic of the Congo.This kind of help directly benefits everyone in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, plus food aid.Build roads and bridges, build schools, medical institutions...In the past few years, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has almost become the iron buddy of the Somali Federation, commonly known as Gangtie.

Now that the Democratic Republic of the Congo raises the issue of whether to merge with the Somali Federation, most people in the world are not surprised, but are still curious whether other African countries will do the same.

Because in the past few years, everyone has clearly seen that Somalia is playing a big game of chess. The countries that have been blessed by the Somali Federation are far more than Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Almost the entire Central African country is receiving With the help of the Federation of Somalia.

In six years, three African summits have been held. The African heads of state most want to meet Li Lan, because everyone who meets him can always get great help from the Somali Federation.

Up to now, apart from a few countries that cannot leave NATO support, which of the remaining African countries is not glaring with the Somali Federation.What they are after is not only Somalia's huge military, but also the surging economy. As an African country, it is also the world's fourth largest economy. This makes many Africans envy their eyes.

The per capita GDP of 10,000 to 20,000 US dollars is more than ten times the average level in Africa. People are still living and dying for one dollar. Somali federal citizens are doing normal work every day for hundreds of dollars.

The gap is as wide as the sky. Many international assessment agencies have conducted in-depth statistics on various issues in Africa in the past four years, and the results of the statistics are published every year. Among them are assessments of Africans’ attitudes towards Somalia.

In the past four years, Somalia has become the most commended country in Africa, without one.In particular, support for African tribes and ethnic customs in the Federation of Somalia has been welcomed by all of Africa.Li Lan has also naturally become the most admired person in Africa. Although this kind of admiration is far behind the faith of federal citizens, it can radiate influence abroad and it is enough to establish Li Lan's great light.

Of course, there are still more people who care about whether the Somali Federation will continue to accept other African countries. After all, many African countries have established an economic community system with Somalia. The Somali shilling has also become the currency of most African countries. Somalia has an influence. The force penetrates into many countries.

In this form.Concern about whether the Somali Federation continues to accept other countries has also become a mainstream topic.

Many evaluation and investigation agencies have also launched investigations.The result surprised many people. Not many countries hope to join the Somali Federation.However, the voice of wishing to form an African community is increasing, and even more than half of African countries hope to complete African integration and integrate the whole of Africa into one country.

However, at the beginning of this year, the Federal Government of Somalia officially announced that it welcomes neighboring African countries to join the federation family.As a result, the Democratic Republic of the Congo was the first to question whether to join the Somali Federation.Putting on the agenda of national discussion, once the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo approves half of it internally and half of the domestic people approve, then the Democratic Republic of the Congo will apply to the Somali Federation to join the federation.

Although the entire process of joining the federation requires a long time of preparation and investigation, this move has already made a good start, which has made many African countries quite exciting.

It is not so easy to complete African integration, but joining the Somali Federation is much simpler, and you only need to join the Somali Federation.That is equivalent to a family, the foreign debt federation will help to return, and even only a few years, can rapidly increase the national economy.To get rid of poverty, war and disease, this is an irresistible temptation for countless Africans.

After all, foreign aid is limited.Being a family and receiving help are completely different concepts.This is even recognized by most primitive tribes, after all, no one likes to worry about the coming of war all day long.Worrying about one of them will be infected, and there is no need to worry about starving to death without food.

Of course, people have different attitudes and not everyone thinks the same, but as long as most people agree, a small part of the attitude can be ignored.If there is armed resistance, the Somali Federal Guard will accept the request of the applicant country to completely eliminate the rebellion.

Everything is just starting now. It will take time to verify whether it will develop smoothly in the future. However, at least the current situation is a good scene for the Somali Federation.

"Now that the country's economy is just getting better, do you really want to accept the application from the Democratic Republic of the Congo?" In Natasha's view, the federation has a good momentum of development and unlimited prospects, whether it is economic or industrial, and it wants to compete with developed countries. Closer, it will take a longer period of effort.Once the oil bottle of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is added, the economy and industry of the entire Federation will decline a lot, which will greatly slow down the efficiency of economic and industrial construction. This is not a good thing.

"If it were ten years ago, then I would definitely not agree. Now, what reason do I have to refuse?" Li Lan asked inexplicably, looking at the darkness outside the French windows with profound eyes. : "Do you know why our economy is growing so fast?"

Natasha replied very simply: "Because of the existence of the base, we have unlimited room for development, no need for accumulation of technology, no need for complex raw materials and costs, and no need for huge labor and technical requirements. It makes our light industry The handicraft industry is developing rapidly. The handicraft industry has not been impacted by other industries. Raw materials do not need to be imported. The export volume is always greater than the import volume. Of course, the most important point is efficiency. We have concentrated and efficient production, and the efficiency is the same as that of European and American countries. More than ten times..."

"Therefore, our current economic growth does not rely on conventional industries and consumption. Even if there is no citizen, we have our own complete industrial circulation. In that case, why should we reject others? That land is rich in mineral resources. Although the population of tens of millions has brought about a decline in the economic average, it gives them greater development potential. As long as the base industry continues to spread, our economy will continue to grow. The momentum will be better then, a little sacrifice in the early stage And investment is just a cloud for future development."

Many people are powerful. This sentence applies to the past as well as the future. Although the increase in population will bring economic and employment burdens, it is in peacetime. Throughout human history, war dominates all the time of human growth.

The GDP per capita in Somalia is now very high, but Li Lan knows very well that there is a lot of hypocrisy on the GDP per capita. Nearly half of the GDP of the Federation of Somalia is brought by base industries, and it is truly created by the Federation. The wealth is only equivalent to less than half of the total value of GDP.

The federal government has shown an over-reliance on the economic benefits of the base, but this is what Li Lan hopes. Without the economic drive of the base, the federal government is still toddling and it is impossible to have today.

Therefore, Li Lan has only one attitude towards applications from Congo or other countries. If he does not seize the opportunity to expand his territory, he is an idiot.The main reason why he worked so hard for the Congo at the beginning was to gather the hearts of the Congolese in advance, erode the Congolese government, and achieve the goal of annexing Congo in the future.

As an equatorial country, Congo has the largest rainforest in Africa and the richest minerals in Africa. The oil content is not small. Although there is still a gap compared with North African countries, it is not too small.The reason why the Congo has not been able to extract much oil is for the simple reason that the cost is too high.

First of all, there is the problem of road traffic. Oil is always transported and refined. Fortunately, refining can be built with a little investment, but it is not that simple to transport oil from deep mountains and old forests.There is also the management cost. Oil is gold, enough to attract poor people to take risks. The long oil line has to go to places with traffic. I am afraid that a drop of oil will not flow out and it will be stolen halfway.

Another cost is the cost of oil extraction. First, the equipment needs to be transported to the rainforest. This can be resolved by air transportation. However, where there is oil in the Congo, it is buried in deep oil fields. The cost of extraction is huge, and there are many difficulties. In people's eyes, there is no oil investment environment here. It is better to be in the Middle East or North Africa, where you can step on oil with a stomping of your legs.

But these are not a problem for the scientific and technological oil wells of the base, and Li Lan can build a scientific and technological refinery next to the oil well, and it is also a good choice to store the oil on-site in the deep mountains and old forests.

And as long as the Congo can be included in the national territory, many of the problems that originally existed will not exist.At that time, naval bases can be built generously on the South Atlantic coast of Congo.

In short, in Li Lan's view, if Congo joins the federation, it is completely beneficial and harmless.

"In the future, our territory will be very large." At the end, Li Lan added.

"Unify Africa?" Natasha replied.

Li Lan smiled silently, neither denying nor affirming, but his gaze became deeper.
