Red Alert Somalia

The conclusion of this medium-scale arms deal has made the atmosphere of conversation between the two more harmonious.

In fact, in this transaction, no one takes advantage of the prices of both parties.Thirty-five Il-76s is equivalent to nearly two billion U.S. dollars.And a 40,000-ton class amphibious assault ship, according to the cost of the United States, is almost the price.

And this contract must be delivered simultaneously by both parties within eight months. This is the result that both parties need most.There is a very helpless rule in international arms trading, that is, an order usually takes one or two years later.If you want fast delivery, you have to wait unless it is the price or the relationship is good.

Both Li Lan and Putin are people who can make a decision. There are not so many diplomatic steps to take at all. To be able to trade is to be able to trade, and not to be able to trade, that is, they cannot.There is not so much to ask for.

At Bosasso’s shipyard, Li Lan has already placed two amphibious assault ships in the sub-base. One of them was prepared for Russia. It only takes more than five months to complete the launch. Remove some important electronic equipment to deliver to Russia.

And thirty-five Il-76s, fifteen more than the 20 he had asked before. This is Li Lan's genius.Because Russia seldom pays for arms purchases, and also takes into account the interests and sentiments of domestic shipbuilding groups, it chose to trade for goods.Putin has a better explanation, and can also stimulate the domestic aircraft manufacturing industry through the export of aircraft.After all, exporting thirty-five Il-76s in one go is also a big order for Ilyushin.

For Li Lan.The price is second, anyway, as long as the equipment is exchanged or sold.He makes big profits.The most important thing is that these 35 Il-76s came.This can quickly fill the gap in the Red Police Corps' long-range delivery.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the bombers studied by the combat laboratory were already a bit eye-catching, Li Lan would probably also find ways to get a few Tu-160 "White Swans" back.

Next, the two began to talk about other topics, involving various fields, a large number of various cooperation projects, and the scope of coverage is also very broad.From politics to military, to economy and energy, everything is covered.The conversation also turned out to be satisfactory to both parties.Will be determined.

This conversation lasted for two or three hours. When the two arrived at George's Hall where countless reporters were waiting, it was already dusk.

These reporters were also dozing off waiting, but the appearance of Li Lan and Putin shocked everyone.They all want to know whether Russia and Somalia have also reached a deep-level cooperation strategy.

For the whole world, as long as the relations between the three countries of China, Russia and Russia go further.The world structure will be divided into two.As reporters, they are naturally interested in such changes.

The George Hall at this time has been arranged, on the podium.There are six national flags erected, three Somali flags and three Russian flags crossed in front of the national flag.There are two podiums.Li Lan and Putin are two of them, one by one, at the end opposite them.Is the famous throne.

Many reporters have started to broadcast live at this press conference jointly held by Li Lan and Putin.

Li Lan's podium.He didn’t have a prepared speech. He disliked the prepared diplomatic rhetoric the most. Then he asked him to read it, walked onto the podium, faced hundreds of reporters from Russia and abroad in the hall, and cleared his throat. , Said:

"Majestic and I are very happy to come to Russia. This is a very beautiful country, and it is not thanks to President Putin for his hospitality.

...

I believe that the world today is undergoing major and profound changes. The two major issues facing mankind are still maintaining world peace and promoting common development.This will also be a goal that countries need to continue to strive for in the 21st century.To solve these two major issues, the key is to establish a fair and reasonable new international political and economic order.

I always believe that the establishment of a new international political order requires first of all to adhere to the international relations norms established after the war and recognized by the international community, especially mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, and equal treatment of each other. The principle of peaceful settlement of international disputes.These principles have maintained the peace that lasted more than 60 years after the war and proved to be effective.Second, the authority of the United Nations must be strengthened, and the active role of the United Nations in maintaining world peace and security must be fully respected and brought into play.Third, the process of establishing a new order should be a democratic process in which all countries in the world participate fully.Countries, big or small, should have equal rights to participate in the establishment of a new order.

...

To establish a new international economic order, the most fundamental thing is to adhere to the principles of mutually beneficial cooperation and common development in international economic relations.In the process of globalization, there should be global coordination and cooperation, and all countries should work together to reform and improve the existing international economic and financial order.Developed countries should undertake more obligations to help developing countries and strive to narrow the gap between rich and poor countries.At the same time, it should be respected that developing countries choose development paths based on their own national conditions.

So Russia and Russia are countries that have important influence on world affairs and share common interests on major international issues.We all advocate a multi-polar world and oppose a unipolar world.All have a tradition of implementing an independent foreign policy.Economically, our two countries are highly complementary.We are all in favor of maintaining the diversity of the world.President Putin said that globalization does not mean simplification.

This is very good.This time I have reached consensus on many important issues during my talks with President Putin. In the future, the two sides will further strengthen communication and consultation, deepen understanding, expand consensus, promote cooperation, and jointly promote the process of world multipolarization, in order to establish a fair and reasonable international Politics

We will make unremitting efforts to bring a new century of peace and prosperity to mankind.

...

Regarding human rights issues, the Somali government attaches great importance to human rights issues.We have made unremitting efforts to promote and protect the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Somalis and have achieved tremendous achievements that have attracted worldwide attention.Some people’s accusations of the human rights situation in Somalia have no basis in fact.Different countries have different national conditions, and it is normal to have differences on human rights issues.Somalia is willing to continue to conduct human rights dialogue and exchanges with relevant countries on the basis of equality and mutual respect.To increase mutual understanding and properly handle differences.

We will continue to strengthen democracy.At the same time, the rule of law is continuously strengthened.The rule of law has been enshrined in our constitution.In my opinion, democracy is not an absolute concept.This means that the realization of democracy must take into account the specific conditions of each country.

...

In the field of international anti-terrorism, and on the issue of Somali piracy, Somalia and Russia will cooperate more deeply to ensure the stability of the two countries and the world.In combating counter-terrorism forces, both Somalia and Russia spare no effort to jointly deepen cooperation, pragmatically base for cooperation, and resolve terrorist forces and spreading trends.

Somali pirates.Our Somali navy will also work with the Russian navy on the work of combating piracy, conduct practical cooperation, and strive to completely resolve the problem of Somali piracy.

...

In terms of international humanitarianism, the two countries also have deep cooperation, especially on the issue of humanitarian relief in Africa. We will jointly provide at least US$2 billion in assistance to North African countries in the next five years. And provide the necessary medical treatment and food cultivation technology, I believe.Somalia, which has achieved results in this regard, can cooperate well with Russia to resolve the famine and medical assistance problems in North Africa.

...

We will also make more in-depth cooperation on the issue of maintaining world peace and regional stability.Committed to the development of mutual trust and mutual win between the two countries in the military field.Somalia is a non-aligned country, but it very much hopes to establish a basis for military cooperation with Russia. This is also praised by President Putin..."

After talking about it for nearly fifteen minutes.Li Lan stopped now, and many of the contents were the same as when he was in China.When he held a press conference with Chief No. 1, he said almost the same, nothing more than all high-sounding words.Then briefly introduce the two countries reached some consensus during this state visit.But it is only limited to those that can be published.

In the face of this external scene, Li Lan has enough experience, and he can grasp the familiar tones used by the heads of the world.

On the side, Putin was originally going to read the prepared manuscript, but seeing that Li Lan did not do so, he quickly and smoothly said some of the content that had been negotiated. He also gave up following the manuscript and began to play freely:" First of all, I would like to extend a warm welcome to President Li Lan's visit.

Just now, I had a friendly and frank talk with President Li Lan.We had an in-depth exchange of views on Somalia-Russia relations and major international and regional issues.Both President Li Lan and I believe that the continued, healthy and stable development of the war between Somalia and Russia is the requirement of the times and the common aspiration of the two peoples.The two sides should enhance understanding, expand consensus, deepen mutual trust, and comprehensively advance the constructive and cooperative relations between Russia and Russia in the 21st century.

We all believe that expanding the economic and trade cooperation between Somalia and Russia is in the common interests of the two countries and their peoples.Both parties will adhere to the principles of equality, mutual benefit and common development, and continue to expand cooperation areas to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.The two sides expressed their willingness to work together to gradually achieve a trade balance between the two countries in development.

...

We all expressed our willingness to deepen anti-terrorism cooperation on the basis of mutual benefit.The two parties have signed a cooperation memorandum of understanding on the mutual berthing plan of large ports.He also negotiated with Somalia on various matters concerning naval cooperation between the two countries...

Regarding President Li Lan’s proposal to invite me to visit Somalia, I accepted his invitation very happily

...

On the issue of Ethiopia, I agree with President Li Lan's bold choice in the national and ethnic aspects. This is something that every one of us in power should learn.At this moment, President Li Lan said, “As a leader of a country, if you can’t make decisions for your own citizens, that’s the greatest crime.” Today, I still admire his integrity.It is indeed enviable that the Somali people have such a president who thinks about them.

We express our great indignation for the Ethiopian side of the Abaya Lake massacre that shocked the world. In particular, this massacre was another inter-ethnic massacre, which is a deep wake-up call for us.I am deeply disappointed by what the Ethiopian National Defense Force has done. Instead of fulfilling the responsibility of protecting the people, the army of a country raised its butcher knife and aimed at its own citizens. Those executioners should be tried.National leaders and those in power should set an example.

Simultaneously.I can only say to those countries that support Ethiopia for no reason.If they can really fulfill the respect for human rights that they say on the surface, then they will stand firmly with us and work together to impose sanctions on the government that has such atrocity, instead of upholding democracy and freedom over and over again. On the other side is the executioner who helps the genocide."

Having said that, everyone naturally understands who Putin is talking about, and many of them have turned their heads to a few in the middle.The identity cards on the chests of these reporters are engraved with words such as the United States, France, Britain, Canada, Australia, South Korea, and Japan.

Putin did not stop and continued: "We very much hope that the United Nations can face up to this war. If it is considered wrong for Somalia to send troops, should it wait until more than seven million Somali people in Ethiopia have been massacred before sending troops? Is it reasonable?

It is the common hope of President Li Lan and I to strengthen the fairness and restraint capabilities of the United Nations, but the United Nations should be a public organization, not an organization for the benefit of certain forces.Once one day.The United Nations has lost fairness and justice, so is there still a need to exist and let it exist?

This is a very likely situation, when the whole world is calling for human rights and humanitarianism.It should be more about taking practical actions than just a word..."

Putin has basically spoken for Somalia when he talked about the latter.There is no lack of direct criticism of some countries..

Putin's attitude still gave these reporters a big surprise.Because it is rare to blame other countries because of other countries, even though this is the same as his usual image.There is not much difference.But those are all aimed at Russia's interests, and such a situation has not yet occurred.

Compared with the reporters meeting between Chinese Li Lan and the No. 1 chief, the No. 1 chief was slightly conservative. Putin can be said to be from the perspective of Li Lan, and every sentence is related to the interests of Somalia.This kind of result is something no one wants.

As for Ethiopia, he has been criticized indefinitely.It seemed that it was not the Somali people who were slaughtered, but Mrs. Ras.At this moment, even Li Lan was quite surprised, he did not expect Putin to say this.

From this point, it is enough to tell the world the extent of the close relations between Sombra and Russia.Perhaps this is the purpose of Putin's words, to tie Somalia and Russia together.

Li Lan at the side also quickly thought of this, and he could only shook his head and couldn't change anything.The words have been spoken by Putin, he naturally cannot bring it back, nor can he say that Putin is wrong, he can only accept it.

And I have a more intuitive understanding of Li Lan's character that doesn't give up unless he achieves his goals.At the beginning of the conversation between the two, Putin talked about the Ethiopian issue many times, and Li Lan didn't get it. He thought it would be the case, but Putin was waiting for him here.So he couldn't refute it now, and could only acquiesce in this favor.

Fortunately, Putin's starting point is still to help Somalia, and the dispatch of troops to Ethiopia has a stronger reason.Otherwise, Li Lan will directly reject it.

After Putin finished his speech, according to the usual practice, if the two heads of state no longer communicate or talk, it should be over. However, some of the reporters below couldn't help but ask: "Then disturb the next two presidents, I have I hope this question can be answered by President Li, but I don’t know if it can."

Li Lan glanced at the reporter who spoke out, a South African reporter, and nodded: "Excuse me."

"President Lee, is Somalia sending troops to Ethiopia to protect the interests of the Somali people? Or is it to punish Ethiopia?"

Li Lan replied straightforwardly: "There are many reasons why Somalia sent troops to Ethiopia, the accumulation of historical grievances, and the long-standing border dispute. The Ethiopian government's oppression of the Somali is only the fuse of everything. However, we really did not expect that the Ethiopian government would do such a terrible thing. In this human rights world, there would be such a brutal massacre. We originally planned to use diplomatic means to resolve the conflict between Ethiopia and Somalia. The problem is that Ethiopia is forcing us to send troops, otherwise it is really hard to imagine how the Somali in Ethiopia will survive in the future.

As for the nature of this war, I can only say that it is a race between races. This kind of war cannot be reconciled by simple means. In Somalia, every citizen asks the government to protect the Somali tribe. Rights, the unprecedented unity of the entire nation and the country, everything is to prevent Somalis from being harmed."

Seeing Li Lan's answer, the South African reporter hurriedly asked: "If the African Union and the United Nations are willing to mediate, can this war be ended?"

Li Lan, who wanted to leave directly, stopped and replied: "If this war does not get what the Somalis want, then the war will not stop. Ethiopia will take the blame for everything."

After Li Lan finished speaking, nodded to Putin, the two left together. The reporters who were about to ask questions were also stopped by Russian staff.
