After getting into the car, Wang Xiaoyue sat in the passenger seat, Qiao Ting and Ling Wei sat in the back seat, and Chen Xin was personally responsible for driving.

Wang Xiaoyue didn't show anything unusual about what Chen Xin had hidden from her before, from the moment the convoy drove out of the airport, she looked around the window of the car, seeing that everything was new, and chattering non-stop.

Chen Xin felt the girl's excited love, and his heart was a little relieved.

Because Wang Xiaoyue has been by his side, he is embarrassed to ask Ling Wei or Qiao Ting to find out what the situation is. However, on the surface, Wang Xiaoyue should not mind her previous concealment.

As the convoy traveled all the way, both sides of the street were crowded with people welcoming the Chinese head of state to Somalia and maintaining order, and people waved the national flags of China and Somalia in their hands and sang songs praising the friendship between China and Somalia.

Mogadishu still has many buildings left over from China's aid to Africa in the last century, such as the National Museum, the National Center for the Performing Arts, and the Mogadishu National Hospital, which have witnessed the long-term friendship between China and Somalia.

Since Ahadi visited China last year, China has begun to carry out large-scale food aid to Somalia, and hundreds of thousands of tons of grain are imported every month, basically solving the problem of feeding tens of millions of poor people in Somalia.

This not only gives the Ahdi government natural legitimacy in Somalia, but also makes China's image rise sharply in the hearts of the Somali people.

Subsequently, major China-aided infrastructure projects were launched on a large scale, including ports, railways, airports, railway stations, power plants, water plants, sewage treatment plants, hospitals, schools, and ...... In addition to these infrastructures invested by Chinese state-owned capital, a lot of Chinese private capital has also entered Somalia, and Somalia's original light industries such as tanning, sugar, food, textiles, and cigarettes have begun to expand rapidly.

After the completion of these projects, each other's shares will be distributed according to the proportion of capital contribution, and the Somali government and Chen Xin's personal shares together will occupy an absolute controlling stake.

This is enough to ensure Chen Xin's control over Somalia.

After the agreement was signed, the Western media once commented sourly: "The cooperation between the Ahdi government and China. Somalia will once again enter the abyss of semi-colony, and Somalia will become an important fulcrum of China's Africa strategy, which will have an impact on the future world pattern. ”

When Chen Xingang saw the news, he was still worried about what Erhati had in mind, so he specially called him over to test it, but found that this guy not only didn't care. On the contrary, they are proud.

Unlike the Chinese, who have been educated in the ideology of unification for 2,000 years, except for a small number of elites in Somalia, the status of tribal clans is far greater than that of the state in the hearts of the vast majority of people.

That is why, since independence in 1960, Somalia has been a federal system, and the entire Federal Republic of Somalia consists of the small states of Somaliland, the Republic of Puntland, and the South-West of Somalia.

After the nineties of the last century, these small countries were in a state of de facto independence, and they were controlled behind their backs. It was those large tribal clans.

But the appearance of Chen Xin broke this balance, with the support of the strong force of the "Little Butterfly" armor, all the local powerful factions who dared to resist were eliminated by fixed points, and the rest were frightened and had to give in.

In the past year, Ahardy's deification strategy has also achieved remarkable results, and Chen Xin has descended in front of the people of major tribes several times in the tribal sacrifice stage with the appearance of a "little butterfly" battle armor. After showing a few "miracles", the identity of the oracle has been truly deserved. The image of the "little butterfly" armor is also circulated among the people.

For MSLs in Somalia, Chen's words are even more useful than their tribal elders.

It is precisely for this reason that even though the Arab coalition forces pressed the border more than a month ago, the powerful local factions in Somalia did not dare to act rashly.

Today's Somalia is one of the most secure countries in Africa, but not only the extremist armed forces in its territory have been swept away by Chen Xin. Moreover, more than 90 percent of the local armed forces were ordered to be disbanded. Some of these soldiers joined the Somali Police Department to maintain law and order in the region, while others joined the newly formed engineering unit responsible for the development of Somalia's domestic infrastructure.

With Chen Xin's strong combat power as a guarantee, the Ahdi government has received unprecedented support from powerful factions in various parts of Somalia. The central government's decree was unimpeded, and reconstruction work in various regions was in full swing.

Naturally, Mogadishu has been given priority care.

Schools, hospitals and other livelihood institutions have also begun to expand, and Mogadishu is no longer a city of terror compared to a year ago.

Although the streets are not wide and the buildings on both sides are still dilapidated, the people on both sides of the street have lost their usual dishes, and most of them are active and high-spirited, which shows that the work of the Somali government is still quite effective.

Chen Xin arranged for the delegations to stay in a seaside resort hotel funded by the Somali government.

The hotel consists of a 20-storey house with sea views and eight townhouses.

After the convoy arrived at the hotel, Chen Xin asked the Chinese delegation to stay at the hotel, and he took Wang Xiaoyue and the others straight to one of the villas.

"Okay, Xiao Yue, Xiao Qiao, Ling Wei, you take a rest first, I'll go and accompany the Great Elder and them, we will hold a welcome dinner at the hotel in the evening, and I will send someone to pick you up at that time." ”

"Brother Chen Xin, go get busy!"

The three girls all smiled at Chen Xin obediently.

At half past six in the evening, Prime Minister Erhardi hosted a grand banquet at the hotel to welcome Chinese state leaders and delegations from many countries.

Before the banquet began, Ahadi delivered a welcome speech as the host, and then the No. 1 leader also made a speech on the podium, looking forward to the future of China-Somalia relations, which won a round of warm applause.

Of course, on such occasions, the two sides mostly used diplomatic rhetoric and did not discuss some sensitive issues in depth.

The dinner featured local Somali specialties, including exotic barbecues, camel milk, tortillas, and fruit and vegetable salads, which amazed the guests from afar.

However, the representatives of Britain, France, Germany and other countries were a little uncomfortable.

From the afternoon onwards, Chen Xin did not show any enthusiasm for them, and even refused their invitation to meet in private, which made them quite uneasy.

They privately asked Ahdi and others why they were invited to Mogadishu this time, but Ahadi did so in a perfunctory manner without revealing anything.

At half past eight in the evening, the banquet ended, and Chen Xin went straight to the villa where the No. 1 chief stayed according to the previous agreement.

The two sides will exchange views on the multi-country talks in Mogadishu. (To be continued......)
