Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 946: Egypt caught in the middle

Ten days later, Li Lan returned to Bagua City, and Lin Meiqi was back with him.

He has been with Lin Meiqi for ten days, rarely attending joint events between the two countries, and even rarely appearing in the media.

And ten days ago, the aftermath of the collision between the two Messo naval vessels in the South Atlantic has not yet dissipated.

There are still a large number of topics on this matter internationally, which makes both sides very depressed.

The retreat of the United States has surprised many people because the outside world believes that this time will inevitably be the same as the Cuban missile crisis. The United States will never make concessions.

But the result of the fact is that the United States really backed down and chose to make concessions in the face of Somalia's menacing fleet.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see that the United States is not afraid, but is not yet fully prepared for war. This is different from the Cuban missile crisis when the United States was ready to go to war as a last resort.

Moreover, the equipment sold by Somalia to the League of South American Nations does not have ordinary weapons that can threaten the United States. This is one of the reasons why the Americans choose to withdraw.

Rather than wasting power on this kind of fruitless collision, it is better to adjust your power and prepare for a full battle.

Because once a war breaks out, it is very likely to be a long war, and even cause the third world war.

The whole world will be upset because of this.

Somalia's response was also very flat, and did not deliberately promote the matter, behaving very ordinary, as if nothing happened.

The injured warships of both sides have returned to their respective naval ports for repairs.The United States also began to salvage the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine that was hit and sunk.

However, this submarine is already unusable.It can only be used for scrap cutting or reheating.

However, this news is not known to the outside world.After all, the loss of an attack nuclear submarine is not easy for the United States to explain to its citizens.

In the ensuing time, the world's diplomacy also became more frequent. Especially on the African continent, the African Union suddenly opened a special summit of heads of state, requiring the capitals of all countries to attend.

It is still the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa. Li Lan once again presided over the summit of heads of state. The African heads of state in front of him are only half of what they used to be.

Because more than half of African countries have agreed to join the concrete construction of the African Community.Form an African federal state.

As a big brother in Africa, Somalia is naturally doing its part, and other small African countries have all agreed. There are only a few countries left, and all of them are coastal countries in the Mediterranean.

These countries have always been under the strict control of NATO, including Egypt, and Libya has been subverted.

On the coast of the North Atlantic, these countries have a somewhat ambiguous attitude. First of all, they are very envious of the economy driven by Somalia.I also hope to catch the express train of African economic development.

But I am also worried about the influence of NATO countries. Now the whole world is exuding a strong smell of gunpowder. They are not fools, you can ask.

Hesitated naturally in my heart.After all, as a place separated from Europe by the Mediterranean Sea, once a war breaks out, here will become a place where NATO groups strike.

And this time.Li Lan is just to bring these countries in. Those who can't get in will not shut them down.When the war breaks out, these countries will be swallowed up immediately.

Or choose Somalia.Or choose NATO, there is absolutely no third choice, because they simply do not have the strength and qualifications to remain neutral.In front of the two super military groups, there will always be only two choices.

Whether they have agreed to join the African Federation or have not agreed to join the African Federation, the heads of state gathered at the headquarters of the African Union on time.

Before the meeting officially started, in Li Lan's hotel, an admiring figure knocked on his door.

When he learned of the incoming person, he was somewhat surprised, but immediately let the person in.

Sisi, a politician that Li Lan is very familiar with, because he is the president of the entire Africa second only to him. With nearly 97% of the votes, he was elected president of Egypt, and four years later he continued to win more than 95% of the votes. , Re-elected to the presidency.

As a soldier, Sisi has a temperament that Li Lan admires very much. Although the president has a very close relationship with the United States, he still has a good impression of him.

Because Sisi is a devout Muslim, he has good relations with countries in the Middle East, and his relationship with Somalia, because the relationship with the United States is not close, but he has always had a good attitude towards Somalia.

When Somalia defeated Israel, Sisi personally sent a congratulatory message to Li Lan, congratulating Somalia on winning the war, and hoped that Somalia, as a member of the Muslim country, should continue to play a greater role.

From then on, Li Lan had an even more favorable impression of Sisi.

Now is a very critical moment for the two military groups. Each is intensively preparing. Naturally, there is no need for Li Lan to refuse Sisi's sudden visit.

In the AU headquarters, in Li Lan’s room, a cup of Addis Ababa’s most classic coffee was delivered to Sisi by himself.

From entering to the present, neither of them said a word, just silently staring at each other.Quietly savoring the most authentic coffee in the world.

"President Li, I have been acquainted with you for a long time. Today's meeting is the first time. From a closer look, whether it is temperament or other aspects, it is several times better than the rumors." Sisi took the lead to put down the coffee in his hand and said.

"I have been with President Sisi for a long time. Egypt has a very long history. As one of the four ancient civilizations, there should be many common topics between you and me." Li Lan replied.

"It is true. I have always admired the breadth and depth of Chinese culture in the homeland of President Li. I have been to China several times and I have indeed had a deep understanding. For President Li, I also admire it very much. I can't let go of my position and identity, otherwise I would have come to Somalia to have a good exchange with you." Sisi said.

"It's not too late. The whole world knows that sooner or later the two military groups will have a battle. The countries along the Mediterranean Sea naturally become the top priority, especially your country. Controlling the Suez Canal has a strategic geographical advantage. It is bound to be the center of the competition between the two sides. At this time, I am both surprised and gratified that you can come to me."

Li Lan directly shifted the topic to business affairs. Now he is not in the mood to accompany the other party to gossip with each other. His face exudes extremely strong confidence, and continues: "Whether it is Egypt or Somalia, they are all members of the African Community. As African countries, we should all unite to realize the ideal of Africa’s common progress, because I hope that Africa will become the center of the next world. I have this confidence and strength."

Sisi suffocated, looking at Li Lan's confident face, and said: "President Li is a rare hero in a century. This is a fact that the whole world cannot deny. Egypt, the United States and NATO countries have thousands of threads. The inexhaustible relationship, this is the status quo that Egypt cannot get rid of now. In this regard, even though I am president, I cannot do anything about it. This is the will of the country.

"Then you come here today. Just to tell me this?" Li Lan asked blankly after hearing the words.

"Naturally not. Although Egypt has a good relationship with NATO countries. But there is still this deep friendship with many Muslim countries, which is also an indelible relationship. I am a Muslim myself, and I naturally hope that the Muslim world will be more prosperous. Stay away from wars. ."

Sisi immediately shook his head, as if worried that Li Lan was misunderstanding, he quickly explained: "Egypt does not want to be an enemy of anyone, let alone a country of the same faith, nor can it be an enemy of NATO, which controls Egypt’s military and economic understanding. So I came here today just to hope that Egypt can be alone."

Li Lan did not speak immediately when he heard the words, but stood up and walked to the huge French window with his back to Sisi, looking at Addis Ababa, which is vaguely cosmopolitan, constantly weighing Sisi’s words in her heart. .

Time passed slowly in silence. For Sisi, time seemed to come to a halt. Watching Li Lan's back closely, his heart was already in seconds.

After a long time, Li Lan said: "Sisi, do you know what I was thinking about?"

Sisi heard this, somewhat inexplicable, and said: "I don't know, but I hope it is not the idea of ​​war."

"No, not at all." Li Lan shook his head and asked again: "Do you know how many NATO military bases are on the land of Africa?"

"Forty-three," Sisi said.

"Yeah! Forty-three military bases, with more than 50,000 NATO troops, do you know what this number means?" Li Lan nodded and said.

Sisi nodded, but he didn't say anything.

"This means that NATO is capable of taking military operations in Africa at any time. In the last ten years, NATO countries have launched more than a thousand secret military operations with these NATO military bases in Africa. Our intelligence agencies, hundreds of times and the CIA, The Fifth Intelligence Service and other NATO intelligence agencies carried out an assassination, anti-assassination, subversion of local power, and a straightening of the armed forces..."

Li Lan still faces the city, with a bit of sorrow in his words, "Somali has always wanted to drive NATO out of Africa, but it has been unable to achieve it completely. Over the years, thousands of people have died on the secret front. Even in Egypt, similar conflicts have occurred."

"What do you mean by that?" Sisi asked immediately when he was puzzled.

"What I want to express is very simple. Once a war breaks out, no one in Africa will be able to stand alone. The Suez Canal is within Egypt. It is a strategic position. Even if you want to remain neutral, NATO will not let you remain neutral, so Your idea, even if I agree, NATO will not agree to it. If you block us the Suez Canal, it would be tantamount to a declaration of war on us, I think you will understand." Li Lan turned and stared at the Seychelles. Xi's eyes said very seriously.

"I just don't want the people to fall into war. Egypt can't fight against you. It can't be your battlefield." Sisi shook his head with a wry smile. Why didn't he understand this truth, but even so, he has to try it. As long as he can convince Li Lan, he will immediately convince the United States.

"You are too naive, not just you, all the African countries along the Mediterranean Sea are too naive. Once the African Federation is formally established and a war with NATO breaks out, then any country on the European continent or the African continent. No one can be true. It is an absolute fact to remain neutral. Whether you believe me or not. I think you can think about it very clearly." Li Lan said lightly.

"I can't make a choice." After a long silence, Sisi spoke helplessly again.

"Then I will tell you the consequences of the choice. If Egypt chooses NATO, then I can tell you that I will send troops to Egypt without the outbreak of war, and will destroy all the resistance forces in Egypt with the momentum of thunder, and you will become me. Prisoner of. I may not kill you, but you will not be free for the rest of your life. And I promise that NATO will never have time to support you, because Egypt is too close to Somalia, and my army will appear in Cairo in only two hours. Around your presidential palace. Your American-equipped troops are vulnerable in front of me."

Li Lan was still full of evil spirits for one second, and the next second he felt like a spring breeze for Sisi, and said: "If you choose Somalia. I will tell you that my army will be stationed in Egypt in an hour, and the first Time to start the defense in Egypt, within one day. There will be three armies of equipment sent to Egypt, in the hands of your army, and within three days. Ten battalions of anti-aircraft missile units will be installed in Egypt.

Air Force fighters will also immediately include Egypt in the alert cruise range, and our early warning opportunities will begin to be deployed in the Mediterranean Sea.My security forces will immediately protect all Egyptian dignitaries and begin to eliminate all NATO spies deployed in Egypt."

Speaking of which.Li Lan walked to Sisi, patted him on the shoulder, and continued: "If NATO dared to attack Egypt, it would be equivalent to a declaration of war in Somalia. I have the determination to protect every ally. How I am, I am afraid that I no longer need me. Emphasize it!"

Sixi's face was ups and downs in an instant, first was startled by Li Lan's suffocating tone, and then was smoothed a lot by Li Lan's gentle expression.

"Naturally, I dare not make Somalia an enemy. I am more aware of the gap between the strengths of the two sides. I also trust your person. However, once a war breaks out, Egypt will inevitably become a NATO focus area. They are all elite troops, and their fighters will arrive in Egypt in an hour." At this point, Sisi did not continue, because it was enough.

"How to choose is only for you to consider. I will respect your decision, but I will also implement my ideas without hesitation. I just advise you not to make a decision in a hurry, because once you make a decision, Egypt I will immediately fall into the flames of war, and I advise you that Egypt had better stop cooperating with NATO's intelligence agencies recently, because the hidden front is already full of flames of war." Li Lan said lightly, he did not To force the other party to make a decision immediately, but gave him a suggestion, hoping that he could make a choice.

"Thank you for your suggestion, I will fully consider it." Sisi nodded, but he was already caught in a battle between heaven and man.

"You come here, does anyone else know?" Li Lan asked suddenly.

Sisi shook his head and said, "Of course this kind of thing must be kept strictly confidential."

"I suggest you take off your shoes immediately and look for it. There may be things you can't imagine." Li Lan said.

Sisi was taken aback for a moment, and he thought of the other party's previous sentence, and immediately took off his shoes, looked left and right, but found nothing, and asked, "No problem!"

"Really?" Li Lan picked up one of the shoes, flipped it through, then put it back on the ground, then grabbed the other shoe and tapped it on the heel, with a smile on his face.

I walked aside, picked up a glass sculpture, slammed it on the heel of the shoe, and slammed it open, and a small bug fell on the table.

"Fortunately, the electromagnetic interference has been activated here, otherwise our conversation will have been known by others. And this person is someone who is next to you now." Li Lan said.

"How is this possible, my people..." Sisi's face became very ugly, and he couldn't help but believe the bugs in Li Lan's hands.

"Don't get angry, don't show it, if I continue to put this thing back, you will assume that you don't know anything."

Li Lan said faintly: “It’s not a secret to me that you have been eavesdropped on. NATO will definitely focus on you people at this time. I believe that from the beginning of this meeting, there will be more. The eavesdropper was secretly placed in."

"For your suggestion, I will consider it carefully." Sisi didn't say much, reinstalled the heel of the shoe, and said goodbye to Li Lan immediately.

The door closed again, and Li Lan smiled slightly. This conference has not even started, and there have been good gains.

For a long time, he didn't have much thoughts about Egypt, because such a country would not be difficult to defeat at all. If the opponent chooses to go against him, he can just use Egypt as a battlefield.

Sisi's sudden visit was also regarded as an unexpected gain. He had originally planned to increase military penetration into Egypt. If necessary, he would take Egypt as soon as possible.

Now it seems that things are not as bad as he thought.

At least Egypt still has the opportunity to not rely on NATO, but this requires Sisi's great courage, otherwise the relationship of a Muslim will not be able to influence his sense of responsibility to a country.

On the surface, NATO’s military strength is much higher than that of Somalia. To ensure security, many countries will also choose NATO.This is the norm.
