Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 877: Another Aircraft Carrier

The residence of the supreme leader of Tehran, the supreme theocratic leader of Iran, the 100 million Islamic Shia spiritual leader, and the 80-year-old Khamenei cordially received the visiting Li Lan./

As the supreme leader of Iran, Khamenei has grown old, but he has not given up his sacred rights. Although he has begun to train successors over the years, he will always be the supreme leader of Iran until his official death. In Iran, theocratic power can only be held by one person.

Li Lan's visit to Iran naturally received the warmest welcome from Iran. After all, in this world, the only country in the world that can stand closely with Iran despite the international attitude is the Somali Federation.

Li Lan was also identified as a permanent friend of Iran by Khamenei, and more than half of the followers of Islam in the Somali Federation have greatly deepened the relationship between the two sides.The most commendable thing is the deepening trade relationship between the two sides.

At the beginning, Iran sought to relax international sanctions against Iran, and replaced it with a more dominant president, but the result was not very good. Instead, Somalia could provide Iran with the advanced technology and technological products that Iran most needs. The attitude was immediately reversed.Somalia can provide Iran with all the technology and products it needs, and only oil is squeezed by national sanctions.

However, as a rising oil producer, Somalia became the fourth largest oil producer in the world when its oil production exceeded 10 million barrels per day, behind the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Russia, and its annual oil export volume was the highest in the world. Fives.

Iran is more determined to stand with Somalia, because as long as the three countries of Somalia, Russia, and Iran are united, it will be enough to compete with the United States in the international crude oil market.According to international crude oil demand, once the three countries unite.Stop oil exports for a few days, and the international oil market will inevitably be in chaos.Unless the United States is willing to hit its own stocks of oil to fill the loopholes in international demand.

When the United States imposed economic sanctions on Russia, the biggest killer move was oil. The international crude oil market dropped again and again, making the Russian economy miserable. In the end, the three countries joined forces to stop oil exports for half a month. Oil prices rebounded to a stable level.(The above is pure nonsense, don't link with reality.)

The suspension of oil exports for half a month has also brought a lot of economic losses to the three countries.But in the long run, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. At least the United States realizes that the trump card of oil is not so easy to use at first.

After all, the crude oil exported by the three countries of Russia, Russia and Iran exceeds 20 million barrels a day. Such a huge amount accounts for one-fifth of the world's daily oil demand. Without this one-fourth of the oil, it only takes ten and a half months Let most countries break out an oil crisis.

In Somalia, there are very few places where oil is used throughout the country. Somalia has all nuclear energy and electrified transportation.In addition to the military, it is the country that least needs oil.Nowadays, even trucks in Somalia are powered by electricity mixed with solar energy, and all fuel-based vehicles.It is not accessible within the Somali Federation.

In recent years, Iran has also been accelerating the development of electric energy vehicles, becoming the third largest country in the export of electric vehicles in Somalia, behind Russia.Reduce domestic oil demand.More oil will be exported, and oil prices will stabilize.Naturally, this kind of oil export brings stable income.

And this benefit is also based on the cooperation of the three countries in oil strategy.For the common interest, the relationship between the three countries has been maintained well, and as Soy, who is dominated by Islam, the relationship is naturally closer.

It can almost be said that the two countries are inseparable from each other, whether economically or militarily.

Over the years, Li Lan has also visited Iran many times to deepen the relations between the two countries step by step. Iranian high-level officials including Khamenei and the Iranian President have visited Somalia more frequently.It is this close exchange that continues to deepen the various cooperation between the two countries.

This is Li Lan’s fifth visit to Iran. Khamenei still personally received him. Ahmadinejad, the Iranian hardliner leader who was re-elected as the President of Iran, accompanied him to meet Li Lan.

After taking off the masks they wore in front of the people, Li Lan and Khamenei entered the private space with the appearance of a forgotten acquaintance.

In fact, since the two met for the first time, they have shown feelings of sympathy. Li Lan’s status in Somalia, in addition to the top leader of the government and military, the people’s respect for him is more to the level of faith. The Somali Federation strictly counts and The theocracy is very similar, but higher than any theocracy, because Li Lan is almost beyond everything in the hearts of the citizens of the Somali Federation.

On the other hand, Khamenei is based on Shiite Muslims and has spiritual leaders. To put it bluntly, Khamenei is only the apostle of Allah and can never surpass Allah.Li Lan takes all people regardless of religion. Even the tribes of primitive sects in Africa have begun to juxtapose him with gods, and they even have the momentum of super gods.

Faith has naturally become the most worthwhile topic for the two to talk about, and the friendship developed from this has become much closer.

"Seeing your red face, I am very happy for you from the bottom of my heart. You can fully recover."

Sitting next to each other, Li Lan pulled Khamenei's hands and said with joy.

"Thank Allah for being here, if it were not for a friend like you, we would not have the opportunity to meet again today." Khamenei said excitedly.

"We are friends, aren’t we? Your recovery is the greatest reward for me. As a friend, I really hope you can live a hundred years. Iran cannot do without you. Soy’s brother relationship today cannot do without us. Work together." Li Lan said.

Khamenei’s health has never been very good. Last year, because of cancer, he almost didn't get through. Fortunately, Li Lan sent him a cancer-control potion, which allowed him to successfully complete the operation.

So now Khamenei sees Li Lan as if he sees a lifesaver, full of gratitude.

"Iran is the greatest fortune in the world to have a brother like you. So-Yi friendship will certainly develop in the long run." Khamenei said very seriously.

Living to this age and mastering Iran for decades, not many people can move Khamenei. Even if the President of the United States is in front of him, he can take it lightly.But in front of Li Lan, Khamenei has always been unable to calm down, because in his opinion, he and his country owe too much to the young man in front of him.

Although the current relationship between Somalia and Iran is based on mutual benefit and win-win results, all Iran’s urgent issues are resolved by Somalia. The Western world has imposed a comprehensive technological and technological blockade on Iran. Somalia has helped Iran resolve these problems. The benefits are only the trade between the two parties.

From his point of view, this is exactly what Somalia is paying to Iran. There are no two cases of this kind of behavior in common between countries.

"It is also the luck of Somalia." Li Lan said.

Khamenei smiled, turned around and took out a document from behind, and said to Li Lan: "This is Iran's new arms purchase plan for the next three years. Take a look first. If possible, I will place an order in the customer system."

Li Lan did not accept the document, but directly said: "I don't need to read it, you can place the order directly."

Khamenei, who was about to take out the base customer system, stopped and said, "What I want to buy this time is extraordinary."

"Except for nuclear weapons, you can buy anything you want." Li Lan was even more straightforward.

"What about the aircraft carrier?" Khamenei said.

Li Lan smiled slightly and said inexplicably: "The Boerau aircraft carrier, which our navy has turned into a training ship, will sail into the Gulf of Aden and dock in your port after completing this open sea training."

Regarding Li Lan's sudden remarks, Khamenei asked, "Is there any connection?"

Somalia gifted the Carlin aircraft carrier, which had only been in service for a few years, to Pakistan. This news shocked the world two years ago. Now Pakistan is working hard to build its own aircraft carrier battle group.

This makes Iran extremely envious. After all, it has been opposed to the United States for so many years, but resents the Iranians of the American aircraft carrier deeply, and has always wanted to develop a navy that can protect itself.

In two years, the Iranian side finally made up its mind to formally purchase an aircraft carrier battle group from Somalia. In this way, Iran can also cooperate with Pakistan's aircraft carrier battle group to block the Arabian Sea when necessary.

However, the money that an aircraft carrier battle group needs to spend is really an astronomical figure. Although Iran's economy has developed very rapidly in recent years, it also requires a lot of determination to build an aircraft carrier battle group.

In the process of persuading the Iranian government and people from all walks of life, the Iranians also sent many naval personnel to Somalia for training, learning how to use aircraft carriers.Now Khamenei has officially put the plan to build an aircraft carrier battle group on the schedule.

"The Boerau aircraft carrier is now a training ship, but we don't need a training ship, but I will not sell this aircraft carrier either." Li Lan said.

When Khamenei heard this, his hands shook. He thought it was Li Lan who was rejecting him, and the spirit on his face dimmed a lot. However, Li Lan's next words instantly revived him on the spot, and his fighting spirit became high.

"Aircraft carriers are not sold, just because I have planned to gift the Booro aircraft carrier to the Iranian Navy."

"Is this true?" Khamenei was a little incoherent. He didn't expect such a big reversal, which made his heart beat so fast.He thought about Li Lan's reactions when he learned that he was going to buy an aircraft carrier, but he didn't expect this to be the case. Now he doesn't need to envy Pakistan anymore.

"This is naturally true, and I will not deceive my friends."
