A grand inauguration ceremony of Li Lan started and ended under the attention of all the people.

As if to celebrate his grand occasion, the continuous rainy season ended on the day, and occasionally there was sunlight shining on the podium, like a spotlight on the stage, showing his upright posture before the eyes of the world.

His prestige has reached a very high peak in Somalia. 86 Somali families voted for Li Lan to prove their support for Li Lan. Not only did they rule over 8 million Somalis, And those newly joined Somalis, under various propaganda praising Li Lan’s righteous deeds, he became the leader of Somalis with a support rate exceeding the popular consensus.

In countries where presidential elections are held in the world, Li Lan’s president’s approval rate has surpassed Putin’s approval rate in Russia’s presidential elections. With a support rate of 86, he quickly ranks among the most popular presidents in the world.In the democratic electoral system of the world, a president who can get more than 50% approval rate can be counted with one hand.

86 is not only a very high value, it also proves to the world the unity of Somalis and the attitude of Somalis towards Li Lan.

However, at the end of the inauguration ceremony, when Li Lan formally took the position of the supreme leader of Somalia, the whole world became truly unstable.

Japan first apologized to Somalia and paid a five-million-dollar fine. Japan’s Kongo-class destroyer Myoko was also officially picked up by Japan.On the day the Japanese warship departed from the port, tens of thousands of people came to the port to watch and take photos with countless nostalgia.For this reason, Japan did not even raise its national flag and left in a dingy manner.

Japan’s actions are fast, and other countries’ actions are not very slow. When the Chinese proposed to formally establish diplomatic relations with Somalia, they sent ambassadors to each other. The world’s focus was that on the day of the establishment of diplomatic relations, the Chinese ambassador to Somalia had arrived. I went to Somalia and purchased a fully constructed manor in Bagua City and the surrounding land as the embassy area.

From the establishment of diplomatic relations to the move in of ambassadors, China has shown the world what speed is called. After the announcement, it takes less than ten minutes to move in.

On the Russian side, it is not slow at all. It ranks behind China. After the successful establishment of diplomatic relations with each other, the Russian embassy is also put into use in Bagua City, which is located next to the Chinese Embassy.

Immediately after that, a large number of countries proposed to establish diplomatic relations with Somalia, Iran, Pakistan, North Korea, South Africa, South Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Eritrea, Syria... and all South American countries. All have established ambassador-level diplomatic relations with Somalia.It's just that these countries are obviously not as prepared as China and Russia. Many countries have not appointed ambassadors to Somalia, but just sent personnel to discuss the issue of purchasing land for embassies.

More than 40% of countries in the world choose to establish diplomatic relations with Somalia in the first place. Except for the NATO group countries and those countries that have deep cooperation with NATO countries, some countries are still on the sidelines.

While the popularity of Somalia has surprised the whole world, in order to prevent Somalia from becoming too popular, the United States has also used a whole set of combo punches.

The first to bear the brunt is the Arabian Peninsula. The Arabian Peninsula branch of Al-Qaida occupied the city of Haizinjibar in the southern province of Abyan two years ago and declared the city to be the capital of the "Islamic Emirate" established by Al-Qaida in southern Yemen.After the organization occupied the city of Zinzibar, almost all areas of Abyan Province have been occupied by Al Qaeda.And has been controlled until now.

Al-Qaida's Arabian Peninsula branch was formed by the merger of al-Qaida's Saudi Arabia branch and Yemen branch in early 2009. Subsequently, it launched a series of terrorist attacks, including the failed Christmas bombing incident in the United States in 2009 and the 10 years of postal package bombing on flights to the United States.Abyan Province is one of the important strongholds of the Arabian Peninsula branch of Al-Qaida.

The United States has never wiped out the base branch in this place, but this time the United States sent a powerful amphibious combat force to Yemen in the name of eliminating this organization.The Second Marine Division, originally stationed in the United States in Lejeune, North Carolina, was integrated into Saudi Arabia, and production was waiting for the opportunity to enter Yemen to eliminate this al-Qaeda branch organization.

This is nothing. The United States and Yemen even signed a contract that shocked the world. The United States intends to lease Socotra Island, which belongs to Yemen.This island is located outside the northeast corner of Africa, facing the Horn of Africa, and is only about 500 kilometers away from the territory of Somalia.

This island has become a major battleground in the world since the time of the Great Sea. The only island in the world that produces ambergris, and the various precious spices and plants on it are unique in the world.At the same time, as a large island, it can also guard the eastern exit of the Gulf of Aden. This island has always been a target for military groups worldwide.Since the great nautical era, the Dutch, Portuguese, and British have built military ports here and used it as an important material transfer station.In modern times, the Soviet Union also built a military port on this island and stationed it for several years.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the island came under the jurisdiction of Yemen and became an overseas territory of Yemen.

The United States stared at this island, officially because of its geographic location.Once the sea and air supremacy were obtained in the Somali war, the U.S. logistics material transfer and temporary airport can be placed on this island.In the strategic layout, critical moments can play a great role.

If used as a forward offensive base, then this island will have an inestimable role for the US forces that need to launch an east coast landing operation.Of course, all of this is after the United States has taken control of the air, sea, and electromagnetic power of war.Otherwise, this island is a living target.

Although the United States has repeatedly emphasized the two-faced combination of boxing, it does not target anyone, but the murderous intent contained therein cannot be concealed from anyone.Some countries even began to urge their citizens not to go to Somalia.

As the world's hegemon, once the United States makes a move, it is naturally impossible to have two simple methods.Japan has appeared again. In the recent period, Japan has dispatched a large number of advanced warships to the Gulf of Aden in the name of rotation, mainly two helicopter destroyers, supplemented by four destroyers and two supply ships, which have been in the Indian Ocean. Converge with many warships of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet.

On the surface, Japan and the United States issued a statement at the same time that Japan will carry out more in-depth cooperation with the United States in the field of international anti-terrorism.And is willing to send peacekeeping troops or Japanese warships to perform escort missions outside to support the US military's counter-terrorism military operations at any time.When necessary, Japan also promised that the United States will send its Self-Defense Forces to participate in overseas anti-terrorism military missions and play a more important role in the cause of peace throughout the world.

In this statement, Japan even contributed funds to help the US military expand its military port and airport in Kenya.

At the Manda Bay Naval Base in Kenya, the U.S. Naval Engineering Barracks is expanding the airport runway. The airport was originally built by the U.S. at a cost of 10 million U.S. dollars. This time the expansion was paid for by the Japanese. Once completed, the large transport aircraft can operate in harsh weather conditions. drop.At present, 1,200 American soldiers and expansion contractors have been stationed at this base.

The construction of the Manda Bay Naval Base is the tip of the iceberg for the United States to accelerate its military deployment in Africa. According to a recent report on the official website of the US Africa Command, the command is vigorously supporting the construction of logistics capabilities of African partner countries and improving their ability to perform counter-terrorism and peacekeeping missions.

Since US President Barack Obama first announced a new strategy for sub-Saharan Africa, the US Africa Command has introduced a series of supporting measures aimed at strengthening its military presence in Africa.But now, this strengthening of the military strategy has been embodied in a whole new way. This was originally a simple airport, but now plans to expand it threefold.

In addition, the US Army Command has determined that it will add two more brigade-level troops in East Africa. The arrival of these two brigade-level troops will increase the number of US troops that already have more than 3,000 troops in East Africa to 8,000 in one go. .

According to media reports in East African countries, the United States has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Djibouti to equip and train the armed forces of the three countries to combat extremist forces.So far, the United States has helped 25 countries in Africa train 200,000 soldiers.

The French "Africa Weekly" published an article entitled "U.S. Secret Wars in Africa", claiming that the strengthening of the U.S. military's military forces in Africa is mainly to facilitate its attack on Nigeria's "Boko Haram", the North African branch of Al Qaeda, and the Uganda "Holy Resistance Army ".There is no fact against a third country.

However, in the face of the large-scale deployment of US troops, African public opinion has questioned the above statement: What is the bottom line for the United States to accelerate its military deployment in Africa? Is it maintaining peace or creating war?Does Africa need such a military presence?

South Africa’s "Daily Standard News" believes that the United States is playing a dangerous game: On the one hand, the United States deliberately exaggerates the terrorist dangers in Africa, and enlarges and worsens the problems in Africa.Most extremist organizations in Africa have only local appeals and no global goals. They do not pose a direct threat to American interests. The United States is increasing its influence on Africa in the name of anti-terrorism.On the other hand, US anti-terrorism has affected African countries’ humanitarian assistance and peace building. Many African countries’ remittances from the US have been reduced.

The African Leaders website believes that US anti-terrorism in Africa is a very sensitive topic for African countries. They are afraid that the United States will stay in Africa in the name of anti-terrorism and strengthen its military presence.

Many African media and websites have also conducted a lot of analysis on the US's strengthening of its military in Africa, claiming that the US move has a three-fold purpose: not only to counter terrorism and peacekeeping, but also to intervene in civil wars and regional conflicts in African countries.The United States used to fight terrorism in Africa mainly around the origin of natural resources and transportation lines to ensure the monopoly and priority of the United States.However, while the United States has increased its military power in some countries in Central Africa, it has also given these countries military intervention capabilities in Congo (DRC), which has intensified the conflict in eastern Congo (DRC) and endangered the security of the Great Lakes region of Africa.In addition, the strengthening of the military power of African countries by the United States comes at the expense of democratic political interests, which runs counter to the so-called democratic principles advertised by the United States.

The third point is that everyone with a discerning eye can see that a series of U.S. military actions are directly pointing to an indisputable fact, that is, Somalia has been surrounded by American troops.

In the Indian Ocean, the United States has dispatched the Bush nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the Roosevelt and the Lincoln of the Fifth Fleet to form a three-carrier battle group.Many ships of the Atlantic Fleet also tend to converge in the Mediterranean. The most striking thing is that the other three aircraft carriers of the United States have appeared in the Atlantic. One of them has entered the Mediterranean, the other is cruising in Gibraltar, and the other is around the United Kingdom. Dangling.

On the land side, the US troops stationed in Kenya and Ethiopia have also completed the siege of Somalia.In Djibouti in the north, French and Italian troops are also secretly increasing.The French nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the Italian aircraft carrier also came to the Gulf of Aden and merged with the escort fleets of the two countries in the Gulf of Aden.France and Italy have also formed an amphibious combat fleet consisting of four amphibious assault ships, which can enter the Red Sea through the Suez Canal at any time.

The US amphibious strike group, a large number of amphibious ships originally stationed in East Asia, have gradually left their original station. What disappeared with them is that they are stationed in Japan's two marine regiments from the US First Marine Division.

After this set of combo punches were used one after another, the Americans suddenly felt that the lethality was a little insufficient. For this reason, they also made great efforts in building momentum and buffed the military deployment.

First, the United States produced a lot of "evidence." In East African countries, terrorist forces have become more and more active.Immediately afterwards, a regime in exile that claimed to be the former nominal government of Somalia asked the world for help in Kenya, hoping to get international support to help it recover.

As for the United Nations, the former ambassador of the United Nations in Somalia also walked with the government in exile, running among the representatives of the United Nations, hoping to get support from other countries in the world.

The United States, Italy, France, and Japan also took action at the right time, recognizing that this government in exile is the real government of Somalia and the real legitimate government of Somalia recognized by the United Nations.And will safeguard all the rights of the government in exile, and severely crack down on those organizations that deliberately overthrow the legitimate government and rebel against the government.

Prior to this, all US media and newspapers were also trying their best to belittle Li Lan's Somali government. Various slanderous remarks and negative news continued to emerge on American social media, video channels, newspapers, and forums in the United States.

Public opinion and the military go hand in hand, and the United States has already begun to make moves.
