Volume 5 Chapter 597 Diplomatic Arena
readx;
When Bashar was woken up in the middle of the night and heard that the Arbachi base had been attacked by Israeli airstrikes, he was so shocked that he forgot to speak. The cold sweat that kept flowing on the foreheads of his subordinates was constantly flowing from the pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion, and he was so anxious that he didn't dare to disturb the president.
"President......" After a long time, the subordinate saw that Bashar was still in a daze, and carefully shouted while wiping the sweat on his forehead.
Bashar's originally fixed eyes moved slightly, and then a murderous look shot at his subordinates. It looks like a deep hatred.
"Why are you still stunned, go and inform the cabinet members to call an emergency cabinet meeting." Bashar glared at his subordinates viciously, and then roared irrepressibly.
The Syrian cabinet meeting lasted only ten minutes, and the Syrian military units received orders from Damascus, and the entire country was immediately put into a state of emergency. In the Golan Heights, which is facing Israel, all front-line troops have sounded terrible sirens, and several hidden radar bases have been turned on, bringing the entire Syrian airspace into a state of search and defense.
Halim's surface-to-air missile regiment is a key unit on emergency standby, and various encrypted and complex wireless signals are frequently intertwined in the skies over Syria, and the tension in the surrounding area has escalated again.
Just when Syria was preparing for war with Israel, President Bashar al-Assad suddenly received a phone call from Israeli Prime Minister Olmert, in which Olmert solemnly stated that Israel has no intention of resuming war with Syria and that if Syria stops all nuclear weapons research, Israel will continue to maintain normal peaceful relations with Syria.
At this time, an hour has passed since the Israeli Air Force air raid on Arbachi, and President Bashar will also calm down, knowing that it is unwise to engage Israel at this time. Several wars in the Middle East have shown that, barring any surprises, it is really difficult for the Arab League countries to gain an advantage over Israel in a conventional war. Bashar al-Assad does not think that Syria alone can fight Israel on its own.
After dropping some soft and harsh words on the phone, Bashar hung up. His face was as gloomy as water, and Bashar knew that this time it was planted again. The fists are not as hard as others, and the confidence is not as good as others, and it is impossible to overwhelm the opponent in momentum.
Although he was very unwilling, now Bashar also feels very powerless. Israel is small and has few people, and although it has strong conventional force, as long as the Arab countries unite, it is not impossible to take back Jerusalem, and it is even possible to drive Israel out of the Middle East. However, Israel is a nuclear-armed country, and thousands of years of wandering have made Israel's value for the land have reached a pathological level, and if it really endangers Israel's survival, Israel will definitely use nuclear weapons. Moreover, there is also an America behind Israel. As a result, various attitudes often emerge within the Arab League, and it is difficult to unify.
But it was impossible to settle the matter, and Bashar gritted his teeth, found a confidential phone book, picked up the phone and dialed a special number.
……
On the morning of April 11, Mogadishu time, the two countries jointly issued a public statement officially announcing the immediate end of the state of war in Socque.
This news is undoubtedly very good for both sides of Soken and the East African region, as the first batch of 2,000 Kenyan prisoners and soldiers returned to Kenya through the Farah Pass under the 'escort' of the Somali 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade, and the huge demonstrations in a considerable number of cities in Kenya were like a small hole punctured by a balloon, and immediately and gradually receded like a tide.
Mwai, who has been being attacked by opponents from all sides of the country on the presidential throne in the past few days, finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news.
"Ansetus, you are now going to the Eastern Military District with Commander Osco, to comfort these returning soldiers, and select some representatives to come to Nairobi, and I will lead all the cabinet members to express their condolences tomorrow." Mwai solemnly commanded in front of everyone.
Some members of Mwai'i's cabinet or political allies who belonged to Mwai'i's family immediately turned happy when they heard this. Vice President Moody, on the other hand, looked gloomy, as if everyone owed him money.
Mwai's words were ostensibly a condolence offer to the soldiers, but in fact he was using a tricky method to transfer some of the soldiers who supported him to the capital. At that time, Mwai, who has mastered the armed forces, will be more comfortable in the face of attacks from various forces. And some small factions of the wall grass type who are making a lot of noise will immediately change their stance when they see this scene, and turn to Mwai's arms instead.
The 'coalition' against Mwai, which Moody's has managed to pull together, will also be weakened, and without the strength, the immediate presidency will inevitably be farther and farther away from him, even out of reach.
As Moody and several of his supporters left without saying a word, Mwai had a smug smile on his face. Small, fight with me and you're still tender! Don't think that there is lawlessness with the support of the Americans, this time I want you to know that the support of the Americans is sometimes not easy to achieve.
"Ladies and gentlemen, here I would like to reveal to you a piece of news, Mr. Li Mo, chairman of the Somali Star Group, will come to our country at the end of this month for investment inspection, the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of Land and Resources, you must entertain the guests well." Mwai said at the right time.
If this news had been placed before the Soken War, most of the people present would not be interested. After all, everyone is a high-level political axe of a country, and a chairman who is not a big consortium is really not polite. But it was only in the past few days of the Soken War that these people really saw the power of that 'low-key' young man in the neighboring country. In these years, only those who have strength will attract the respect of others. Although everyone here is a very powerful minister, no one is opposed to deepening the relationship with a powerful figure. Even if you can't use it, everyone still has a family, right?
Li Mo doesn't know now that his casual remarks have already attracted attention among the high-level leaders of neighboring countries. At this moment, he was discussing an important matter with two important assistants.
"Boss, I think the first meeting of this so-called 'Third World Economic Cooperation Organization' can be attended." The expert's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with a chuckle, "Iran's purpose in proposing such a 'cooperation organization' must be related to nuclear weapons." Just look at the representatives Iran invited: North Korea, Somalia and Syria. ”
Li Mo received a private phone call from Rumi, a senior adviser to the Iranian president, this morning, but the content surprised him. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad went so far as to invite him to Munich, hinting that the reason for his invitation was that President Ahmadinejad intended to set up a 'Third World Economic Cooperation Organization' to unite some third world countries to deepen cooperation and exchanges with each other and achieve the goal of common development.
Of course, Li Mo knows that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's real purpose in proposing such an 'economic cooperation organization' at this time is certainly not to deepen exchanges between the two countries, but the main purpose, as analyzed by experts, is for nuclear weapons. The Iranian side must have seen the seriousness of the Israeli raid on Syria, and the unprecedented pressure has made the Iranian authorities feel that the previous separate secret agreements with Somalia and North Korea are not safe, and they want to tie each other together through this kind of open cooperation organization that sells dog meat on the head of a sheep.
"Hehe, if this 'cooperation organization' is really established and all four countries join, I'm afraid it will cause many people to have trouble sleeping. In the past two days, the Middle East region has become the place with the most frequent 'diplomatic contacts' in the world, and the US Secretary of State, the British Foreign Secretary, the Russian Deputy Prime Minister and other high-ranking officials have all visited the Middle East. If this 'cooperative organization' had been created at such a time, it would have been even more lively. In addition to stepping up inspections and supervision and training of the Somali National Defense Forces, Shi Shi has paid attention to various international developments, and in fact, as he said, the Middle East has become a lively diplomatic arena.
In the beginning, these countries were all because of the Iranian nuclear issue, but last night's Israeli air strikes on Syria's nuclear facilities expanded this core issue. Many countries have seen the turbulent undercurrent under the surface calm of the Middle East, and a single accident can easily lead to a sixth Middle East war. Compared with the previous wars in the Middle East, this time the condensation time is longer, once a large-scale war breaks out, the world situation and economic impact will be greater, the main reason is oil, many countries in the Middle East are members of the International Petroleum Exporting Organization, once the war is tilted to the unfavorable side, it is difficult to guarantee that these oil powers will not use oil resources, kidnap the whole world, and lead the war from purely military means to economic confrontation.
Such a situation is unacceptable to many countries. Neither the United States, which has special interests in the Middle East, nor other countries that rely on imports for most of their oil resources, do not want to see a war that harms their own interests.
In order to prevent such terrible things from happening, various countries and various means have emerged one after another. There are those who secretly threaten, those who hope to get some kind of promise or guarantee in advance, those who come to sow discord, and those who simply intend to fish in troubled waters, and even some who join in the fun.
The dazzle is not enough to describe, and even the sensitive media reporters from all sides came to join in the fun. Fortunately, for some unknown reason, the guerrillas of various militant organizations, which had been making a lot of frenzy in the Middle East, disappeared without a trace as if they were on vacation.
"Hehe, since everyone is going to join in the fun, how can I not go. I didn't think it was lively enough, but maybe this invitation from Iran was an opportunity. Li Mo smiled.
