Just after attending the African Union Development and Construction Conference, Fumio Kishida couldn't wait to take a special plane to Bosasso.

When the plane took off, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan notified the Somali Freedom Alliance. Therefore, the foreign minister's special plane landed smoothly at Bosasso, an international airport that has not yet been fully opened.

Fumio Kishida, who came to the land of the Somali Freedom Alliance smoothly, did not feel the slightest joy.According to his request, the plane was originally going to land at Bagua City International Airport, but the Liberty Alliance rejected the notification from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and changed it to Bosasso on the grounds that the airport has not yet been put into operation.

Everyone knows that Bosasso was one of the three major cities in Somalia, but now Somalia, the Bagua City of the Liberty Alliance is the core of the military and political power of Somalia, which is equivalent to the existence of the capital.It is also the true base camp of the Liberty League. The dignified Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs did not land in the capital city but chose a secondary city. How did this make Kishida Fumio happy?

However, the schedule of the trip was very tight, and it was related to the issue of an Aegis warship. Kishida Fumio could only endure the unhappiness in his heart, and only cursed Li Lan in his heart.

Some time has passed since the Myoko incident, and Japan has repeatedly lodged protests with the Somali Freedom League, but the results are not very satisfactory.At present, the United States has no choice but to win the Liberty Alliance. In addition, the US Secretary of Defense visited Japan and promised a lot of benefits. The Japanese side also needs to return the Myoko as soon as possible.Otherwise, once things change in the future, this warship and the more than 100 Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force soldiers on the warship will suffer.

As for the wealthy pills, the Japanese side can only try their best. It is best if they can be recovered. If they cannot be recovered, they can only be resigned.

As Japan's foreign minister, Fumio Kishida assumed this task.As a qualified politician, Fumio Kishida was able to serve as foreign minister under Abe, and his political philosophy was also extreme right.

For the country of China, Kishida Fumio also insisted on a tough stance, and the issue of territorial water sovereignty was also consistent with Abe.This time, when visiting African countries, I hope that this trip will be supported by many African countries and isolate the Somali Freedom Alliance.

Especially at the African Union Construction Conference, Fumio Kishida won a lot of support with one billion yen in free aid.It is also a good start.

However, when he got off the plane, his face became a little darker. Under the plane, a team of Liberty League welcome guests lined up neatly on both sides with a red carpet.These are very normal diplomatic etiquette, very normal.But behind these welcoming teams, Dabo's reporters quickly pressed the shutter after seeing him.

If this is just a friendly diplomatic visit, then the arrival of these reporters is just a normal thing, but this time, he is here to resolve the Myoko and Fukimaru incidents. He saw so many as soon as he got out of the plane. Reporter, how does this make him happy.

As the Somali Freedom Alliance has attracted more and more attention, mainstream media, newspapers and television stations around the world have dispatched dedicated reporters to stay in Somalia for a long time.The Japanese Foreign Minister’s news, the Foreign Affairs Department of the Liberty Alliance has revealed to them in advance that this is the first time that the Liberty Alliance of Somalia has welcomed a foreign diplomatic envoy. It is also such a highly targeted country as Japan and such an important matter. These reporters It's like cats that smell fishy, ​​swarming.

Seeing the arrival of the special plane from Japan made these reporters look forward to it even more. When Fumio Kishida, the famous Japanese foreign minister, appeared in front of the flight stairs, everyone began to press the shutter excitedly.Had it not been for the welcoming team, I'm afraid they would have rushed down the plane's stairs long ago, waiting for Fumio Kishida to come down, and then frantically asking questions.

Kishida Fumio took a deep breath. At this time, he couldn't walk back to the cabin, so he could only bite the bullet and walk down.This trip to Somalia is definitely the most embarrassing time in his life.

At the end of the red carpet, there is a welcome car flying the Somali Free Union flag and the Japanese flag, and there is a caravan of welcome teams in the front and back.In terms of diplomatic etiquette, Li Lan is not stingy. The demeanor he should show is not discounted because of the target.After all, the diplomatic scene is also about the face of a country.

Of course, he also expressed his dissatisfaction, that is, no one came to greet the Japanese Foreign Minister, and the welcome team was just a routine official business.When a country’s messenger visits, but cannot see the other party dispatching a corresponding task to greet him, this is not a rude, but a diplomatic method to show his dissatisfaction.

At this time, Fumio Kishida did not pay attention to these details. The Somali Free League was able to create a welcome team, which was already beyond his expectations.He also didn't expect that the top leaders of the Liberty Alliance could come and greet him personally.

What he wants most now is to get into the welcome car quickly and try not to contact these reporters.Then quickly end this humiliating diplomatic visit and leave here as soon as possible.So as not to leave too many stains in his political career.

However, these reporters would not let him do what he wanted. Just when his toes stepped on the red carpet, these reporters began to ask various questions one after another, and the scene began to be a little chaotic.

"Mr. Kishida, do you represent Japan and come to resolve the issue of the impounded warship?"

"How much sincerity did the Japanese side show this time to resolve this matter?"

"How does Mr. Kishida plan to negotiate with the Somali Free Alliance?"

"Will Japan give in to meet the demands of the Somalis?"

"Will Japan have a meeting with Li Lan of the Freedom League this time, and will your talk involve territorial sovereignty issues?"

"Has the Japanese side made any plans after the breakdown of the negotiations? If the request made by the Somali Free Alliance is too difficult to accept, does the Japanese side have other plans?"

"Excuse me, this time, will Japan be able to produce evidence against the Freedom League? And then use non-transactional means to resolve this matter?"

…………

Facing the rush of problems, Kishida Fumio's heart was full of helplessness, one by one sharp questions, which rushed to his line of defense.He can only respond in a very mechanical language, "There are no more details to disclose about this matter."

The welcoming staff of the Freedom League did not stop these crazy reporters, but looked at Fumio Kishida who was about to be surrounded, but they were secretly happy.In the end, it was Kishida Fumio's bodyguards who escorted him safely to the welcome car.

After the welcoming staff also got on the bus, these reporters were not reconciled. They all got on the bus one after another, following far behind the welcoming bus.

The 300-kilometer journey from Bosasso Airport to Bagua City did not stop these reporters.

The long highway, which took more than two hours to travel, also calmed down Kishida's impetuous heart.

As a Minister of Foreign Affairs, he is a person who can adjust his emotions, and the scenery of the team way surprised him a bit.The Bosasso International Airport is not in the city. He has not seen the changes in the city in Somalia.But the scenery along the road gave him a wonderful feeling that he was not in the deserted East Africa at the moment, but on a plain.

The sky began to float with patters of raindrops. On both sides of the high-speed kilometers, there was a patch of grass and green. Large swarms of camels, horses, and goats were everywhere.

In Africa, Fumio Kishida has been here many times. Like China, the United States and Russia, Japan is also trying to win over African countries.Before he was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he often visited Africa for inspections.But I have never seen such a beautiful East Africa. After the rainy season in South Africa, the grasslands are prosperous, and maybe you can see such a scene.

The rainy weather makes the grass green outside become more radiant, and the fresh air is fascinating.Kishida Fumio reached out and pulled down the window on the other side. Rain slapped into the car by the wind, but he did not close the window.Let the rain drop on the seat, eyes still looking outside.

When the welcoming car approached the Bagua City, Fumio Kishida caught his eye. There were busy architectural scenes everywhere. The rainy weather did not hinder the determination of these Somalis to build. The busy land was crowded with raincoats and ponchos.

The already calm mood, seeing such a scene, made waves in Kishida Fumio's heart again.Especially when the welcome car slowly drove into the Bagua City, he had a very strong feeling that he should be in a modern rural town in Europe, not in backward Africa.

How many times, he saw the descriptions of Bagua City in the mouths of newspapers and media reporters. He thought that the reporters were exaggerating. Now, he has no such thoughts.On the contrary, he even felt that the previous reports by reporters did not give them all.

In this city, he not only saw neatness and harmony, but also saw a deep level.From the satellite map, this is just a very standardized city.But when he entered in person, the city gave him more of a labyrinth feel.Each group of buildings is exactly the same, and even the landscape trees are trimmed to be even and level.

After the car drove slowly in the city for ten minutes, he found that nothing had changed in what he saw.If someone told him that he hadn't moved, then he really couldn't find evidence to refute.It seems that the car has been circling here all the time.The facts told him that the car didn't even turn a corner, and it was moving forward all the time.

If an army enters the city, can it still find an offensive target?Suddenly, this thought came to his mind.

He did not have time to think about this issue, because the welcome car stopped in front of the Somali government building after two turns.Under the guidance of the staff, he walked into the conference room alone.Inside, Li Lan was already waiting for him.
