Red Alert Somalia

Naturally, Li Lan didn't know what happened in Ukraine. He was talking with South Sudanese President Kiir.

South Sudan was later than Somalia's independent statehood. It can be called the youngest country in the world, and of course the poorest.

As the first president of South Sudan, Kiir was naturally very worried about the country’s current state of no economy. The entire country relied on that little oil for maintenance, which was nothing short of a drop in the bucket.

When the nation was founded, although the United States provided US$300 million in aid to South Sudan, the US$300 million was not without cost between countries. In fact, South Sudan did not get much benefit at all.

And over the years, Kiel has also traveled to many countries, saying that it was a state visit, but in fact it was just borrowing money and crying for poverty, hoping to get practical assistance from various countries.

In the end, it was only in Zhonghua that Keir had a gain.In fact, it’s no wonder that the world’s economy is sluggish and Europe is running out of money. The United States is also busy with the aftermath of the terrorist attacks that year. With the rise of Somalia, the armament has not decreased but increased, and it is also embarrassing.

After serving as president for more than two years, it was the first time that Keele met with a head of state of another country when he heard that the other party offered to help him, which made him inexplicably moved.

For those who have been asked for help, and when people take the initiative to lend a helping hand, these are two completely different emotions.

Kiir never thought about what he could get from his neighbors. After all, South Sudan is surrounded by poor countries.Even if the economy of Somalia begins to grow, for a country in the early stages of development, the more money is naturally the better.

Therefore, Li Lanyi proposed to actively assist South Sudan.Keel feels and feels embarrassed, out of respect for kindness.He refused foreign aid for the first time: "President Lee’s kindness to the people of South Sudan is very touched. But Somalia is not rich, and money is needed everywhere. I really can’t bear to destroy the country’s construction in Somalia, so you I accept your heart, and I will remember your friendship with South Sudan."

"Haha!" Li Lan was also a little surprised when he heard this. This bamboo-like president is not only the thinnest president in Africa.He was still a cute president, and he couldn't help but smile.

However, Li Lan is not someone who can take it back casually when he speaks. He supports South Sudan, not verbally.Although Somalia also needs money everywhere, it is still possible to take out a part of it, and his own small vault is quite abundant, and the arms business is booming.These payments were not counted in the state finances, and belonged to private individuals. After all, he wanted to raise an army and he couldn't have his own small vault.

"President Kiir. The decision I made is hard for outsiders to change, but now I have changed my mind." After a slight smile, Li Lan said: "I originally planned to go south in the next ten years. Sudan supports construction funds of 10 billion Somali shillings, now..."

Li Lan stretched the sound of the character very long.His eyes were watching the changes in Keir's expression, to see what kind of reaction he would have after hearing his own words. As a result, he was quite disappointed. There was no change in Keir's face or eyes.

It is necessary to know that 10 billion Somali shillings also have a value of nearly 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. It is not a small number. Keir's ability to face him without changing his face is indeed something that Li Lan had expected.

In fact, Li Lan didn't know. In fact, when he refused the aid from Somalia, Keir was mentally prepared. Even if he knew the number, he didn't care much.Because in his opinion, Li Lan said to change his mind, and he was naturally obeying his will, so he didn't make any illusions.

As a last resort, Li Lan could only continue to say, "I decided to increase the support for South Sudan’s domestic infrastructure in the next ten years on the basis of the original plan, 10 billion Somali shillings, and 1 billion Somali shillings a year. And I will send a professional engineering team to South Sudan to help South Sudan build its own hydropower plants, build roads, and improve infrastructure construction."

This time Li Lan finally saw Keir's expression and the shocked look in his eyes. Suddenly, he was happy in his heart.

"President Li, this, this, these are all gratuitous aid?" Kilio stuttered a little, but he could no longer control his gaffe, and he could not calm down what Li Lan said.Calm down from the previous second, it was completely a gap like heaven and earth.

"Yes, don't doubt my determination and ability. Among my many neighbors in South Sudan, the favorite one is also a young country. I am also very willing to give South Sudan a hand. We work together to change the country's shape. "Li Lan affirmed.

"However, Somalia is just getting started. Will the Somali people agree to using the money on us?" Kiir still has some concerns.

Li Lan heard this and understood Kiir’s intentions, but since he decided to win over South Sudan, he was prepared, "I have been prepared for this. For the support of South Sudan, I will not use a share of the national finances. The money, all expenses, are all paid by myself. However, one thing needs to be made clear, 10 billion Somali shillings are fixed, and the engineering team I sent in the past, all construction materials, but the government of South Sudan must come. bear."

When making this decision, Li Lan had already calculated that based on South Sudan's current oil revenue, it can fully support part of the infrastructure work.And he is not a pure old man. He gives people equipment, but there is no way to give materials. That is the real cost.

At this moment, Kiir was also weighing in his heart. His eyes swept through Li Lan’s sincere face again and again. In the end, he did not resist the temptation and said, “Thank President Li for his dedication to the people of South Sudan. It will be remembered by everyone, and South Sudan will advance and retreat with Somalia from now on."

Kiir is very good at being a human being. Li Lan is very satisfied with this point. What he wants is this sentence, "From today on, Somalia and South Sudan are brothers."

"Yes, we are brothers." Keel replied excitedly.

"Since I am a brother, how could there be no wine at this time, wait for me!"

Li Lan smiled slightly and was about to get up and walk towards the wine cooler. At this time, Keel said: "President Lee, we should wait until we really have time to drink the wine. I think the matter between our two countries has not been finished. "

Withdrawing his footsteps, Li Lan nodded and said, "You said."

"Actually, I originally wanted to seek military help from Somalia. As you know, South Sudan has not just established its power for a few years, and the government is not very effective in controlling the country. Local tribal armed forces, and some The terrorist forces are also intertwined within South Sudan. These problems have become the biggest dilemma that South Sudan is facing now." Kiir thought for a while and said.

"How can I help you?" Li Lan asked.

"This time I came here and prepared the $300 million that I originally planned to spend on national defense. These funds are intended to purchase a batch of individual equipment from you, and I intend to form a force specifically to deal with tribal armed and fierce armed conflicts." Tao.

"It's easy. I'll let someone prepare a list for you later. Then you will list the weapons you want. I will notify the arms company afterwards. All will be 30% off." Li Lan nodded and continued: "But, deal with In armed conflicts, especially tribal armed forces, individual weapons are not enough. In this way, I will freely assist you with a group of military instructors and the equipment of two tank battalions. And, as long as you wish, our air force is willing to provide for the Republic of South Sudan. The armed forces provide air support."

"I don't know how to thank you now." Gere was deeply moved again.

"If I advance and retreat together, my effort is worth it." Li Lan said sincerely.

As long as he can successfully tie South Sudan to his side, Li Lan doesn’t mind giving it a little bit more. The equipment of the two tank battalions is nothing to him. The cost of the rhino tank is originally very cheap. And Li Lan would be willing to place some instructors in the South Sudan army, even if they were given another tank brigade.

"You have paid so much, if I don't say it anymore, then I'm really sorry." After being touched many times, Kiir now has no worries, and then said: "Presumably you also know that South Sudan has rich Mineral resources, but we are unable to develop them. Now I have decided to allow Somalia and us to openly develop some of its natural resources, and all South Sudan’s minerals and natural resources will be given priority to Somalia at 70% of the price."

Hearing what Gere said, Li Lan was also stunned. To tell the truth, his support for South Sudan, those things are small favors, and have other purposes.The engineering team is indeed to help South Sudan, but it also has other purposes to support South Sudan tanks, and also to place red police personnel in South Sudan's troops.

Those things that are not important, in exchange for Keir's gratitude, Li Lan also feels that happiness has come quickly.He needs South Sudan as a country, but also the natural resources of South Sudan.

"Your decision also showed me the friendship of South Sudan. I believe that with these cooperation foundations, Somalia and South Sudan will inevitably present a more intimate prospect in the future." Without hypocritical excuse, Li Lan readily agreed. Gere’s proposal.

After seeing Li Lan's consent, Keir's expression was also lightened. Natural resources are the only link he can use to maintain the relationship between the two countries.Li Lan's consent also made him feel that he was not the one who was completely charity.

As for who will benefit more from the two parties, it is difficult to calculate with Libra. Both parties will get what they need.As long as the interests of both parties are satisfied, the friendship will continue.
