Yusuf leaned back on the sofa, his deep gaze fixed on the young man in front of him, who smoked on his own without the permission of his master. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The idea of letting Li Mo hold a suitable position in the political axe or the military has been in Yu Sufu's mind for some time.
It's just that at first, Yusuf felt scruples about the consequences of this idea. Once Li Mo enters the military and political department, it will be difficult to get rid of it. With Li Mo's current influence in the Somali military, coupled with his appropriate status, the power of Somalia will be firmly controlled in his hands for a considerable period of time.
Yusuf and his aides are subconsciously resistant to Li Mo's fair control of Somalia. Although Li Mo is now a legal Somali, the other party is a Chinese after all, and he is not the kind of native Chinese who has lived in Somalia for several generations, but someone who has just joined Somali nationality for a few years. Could there be anything wrong with putting Somalia in the hands of this man? Will the people accept it?
All aspects of the problem influenced Yusuf's decision.
But the shock brought by Li Mo and his Xingchen Company to everyone one by one is, to a certain extent, eliminating the resistance in the hearts of the locals. More and more discerning people are realizing that they should not one-sidedly reject a 'ruler' who can bring great benefits to Somalia.
It can be said that without Li Mo and his Star Company, Somalia may still be in a civil war now; Without Li Mo, Somalia would not have such a powerful army that can basically defend the country......
Everything seems to have been brought by the young Chinese in front of him, bringing many things to Somalia that he dared to think of but could not do.
Today, Somalia has been peacefully reunified, defeated Kenya, recovered Somaliland, which had been divided for more than a decade, and maintained and deepened diplomatic relations with many countries. Somalia has some of its own heavy industry, its own navy and air force, Somalia's overall defense strength is strengthening, and its economy is gradually recovering from a slump that has lasted for more than a decade.
Although Somalia still has many problems of one kind or another, more and more Somalis are returning home each time, giving up their lucrative salaries and benefits abroad in order to build the country, and willingly returning to their poor and weak motherland to contribute their own strength to the country.
All this indicates that Somalia has gradually moved towards a path of normal development, and countless Somalis see the hope of a strong motherland.
Yusuf does not deny that he has strong ambitions for power, but when he really sat on that throne, he found that how much effort and effort it takes to enjoy much power, otherwise this kind of power is rootless, just like the moon in the mirror, it looks beautiful, and it will be broken if you stab it lightly.
Another point, Yusuf felt that he was old and powerless. He would love to see Somalia grow strong and become an African power in his lifetime. Therefore, Yusuf must ensure that Somalia maintains its current stable and normal development momentum after he retires, and at least there are no internal problems.
And if you want to maintain this, you need to give Li Mo and the Xingchen company he represents more power and a more stable foundation. He saw that as long as Li Mo and the Xingchen company he represented were stable, there would be no serious problems within Somalia.
"Mr. President, do you think it is appropriate for me to hold an official position now?" Li Mo thought about it and decided to figure out the purpose of Yu Sufu's words first.
You Sufu saw that Li Mo's tone was loose, and he was overjoyed, and said, "Suitable!" How is it not suitable? On the political axe side and the military, I don't think there will be any resistance to your addition, but they are very welcome. ”
The last sentence is meaningful. This means that Li Mo's influence in the Somali military and political circles is very great, and no one dares to oppose Li Mo's official position. And because Li Mo is now the boss of Xingchen Company and has a lot of influence in the Somali business community, Li Mo already has all the conditions to enter politics.
Li Mo was slightly relieved, and You Sufu seemed to really want to enter politics and hold an official position. However, Li Mo also believed that even in this matter, if Yu Sufu had any conspiracy, he would be smashed to pieces under the powerful strength in his hands.
With You Sufu's proposal, Li Mo also hopes to use this political career to reconfirm the internal organizational structure of the Xingchen Organization, especially the identities of some high-level officials within the organization, and completely eliminate the hidden dangers inside.
But there is one thing that Li Mo still feels tricky, that is, what kind of position should he hold in the political axe?
It's definitely not okay to be low, like Hussein and a large number of powerful officers in the military, they are all his subordinates, Li Mo, as the boss of these people, can't he become their subordinate in the political axe or the army, right?
How many more positions are there in Somalia than the Chief of the General Staff of the Defence Forces? You can count it on your fingers.
"President, I wonder what kind of position I should hold?" Li Mo couldn't think of it for a while, so he looked at You Sufu, since the other party had this proposal, there should be a suitable position for him in his heart.
Sure enough, when President Yusuf heard this, he said without hesitation, "First Vice Chairman of the National Defense Committee and Commander-in-Chief of the Three Services." ”
Li Mo gasped, his eyes widening.
Isn't this old man crazy? It is good to say that this position is important and very important, but in Somalia, the members and vice-chairmen of the National Defense Commission must have the support of the local armed forces in order to truly have the right to speak. Li Mo is the first vice chairman, and the position is definitely a little higher than Hussein's vice chairman, which is in line with Li Mo's qualifications.
But the position of commander-in-chief of the three armed services is somewhat exaggerated. Because in most countries, this position is held by the head of state, which is to ensure the authority of the head of state and control over the army. Li Mo served as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, so what about Yusuf himself?
"I intend to nominate you as vice president to the parliament, and I believe that the parliament will soon be able to vote on it." You Sufu didn't wait for Li Mo to speak, and threw out another bombshell news.
Li Mo was already dumbfounded, if the two positions proposed by You Sufu before, if they were operated, they could still be achieved. This vice president is a surprise to Li Mo. He knew he wasn't a politician and didn't like to be a politician. In particular, Li Mo saw from Yusuf's several proposals that Yusuf had a decision, that is, Li Mo would be put on the throne of president in the general election.
Vice-President of the Somali Republic, First Deputy Chairman of the National Defence Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. If this exaggerated position is really held by Li Mo, no matter who is the president, he can only be a puppet. The reason why Yusuf is not a puppet is mainly because Yusuf has a great reputation among the people and is one of the advocates of ending the civil war and completing the peaceful reunification of Somalia. Others definitely do not have the prestige of Yusuf, who can gain the support of the people and the internal multi-party parties, and use these hidden forces to uphold the basic functions and powers of a country's president.
"President, you're not kidding, are you?" Li Mo asked with a stammering mouth. Although these positions have some attraction for Li Mo, they are not temptations that are difficult to refuse. Li Mo was so out of shape, mainly because he saw the change in Yu Sufu's attitude now, and it was really no room to support him. This made Li Mo feel a little moved in his heart, but also felt a huge pressure.
Now behind the half-hidden scenes, Li Mo said that life is very easy, as long as he takes into account the company's development and ensures that there are enough funds to invest in national defense and enhance the combat effectiveness of the army. Naturally, other things don't need to be more than careless. But once you really come to the front of the stage and become the high-profile figure who is focused on by the spotlight, behind the infinite scenery, there is only heavy pressure.
If he is not in his position and does not seek his own politics, Li Mo at least does not need to worry about Somalia's economy and people's livelihood now. If you have the chance, you can help, but if you don't, forget it. can sit in that position, with Li Mo's surname, he will definitely not sit idly by.
Seeing Yu Sufu's firm and encouraging gaze, Li Mo's mind was very confused. Am I really going to be the first Chinese president in Africa?
"Li Mo, I don't know what you are afraid of, but I know what I am worried about." Seeing that Li Mo didn't directly agree, You Sufu couldn't help but be a little anxious.
"It's just the two of us here, and what we say won't get out of this room. Li Mo, to put it mildly, do you think it's a good thing for Somalia for other people to sit in this position? Youssef's tone was filled with concern about the future of Somali politics.
Yusuf is not one of those narrow-minded local warlords, but a far-sighted man with great ambitions. Rising in troubled times, circulating among multiple forces, without the support of foreign forces, can lay a piece of the sky in chaotic Somalia, Yusuf's ability is undoubted. He saw the hidden crisis in the current stable and peaceful situation in Somalia.
That is, the Xingchen company became bigger, firmly controlled the army, and in the civilian population, because of several reconquest and anti-aggression wars, as well as accumulated huge prestige. With guns, money, and the hearts of the people, who can suppress this force? Even he himself felt overwhelmed and had to make huge compromises. What can his successor do in the face of this situation?
Yusuf does not think that everyone who can be president is like him, ambitious, not lacking in love for the motherland, and that tolerant and compromising surname. As president, he does not have a trace of influence over the army, and Yusuf can be calm, but what about the successor? Once the successor has bad intentions for the sake of power and ambition, it will inevitably lead to turmoil in the situation in Somalia, leading to fierce internal contradictions, and even a strong reaction from the military.
Africa is a continent with frequent changes in state power. Military coups are again the most direct and bloody way. A major change in the situation in Somalia would inevitably undermine the hard-won peace in Somalia. The impact on the gradually recovering economy is severe.
Another point, Yu Sufu has carefully understood Xingchen Company, and he also has a worry in his heart. If Li Mo is unable to control the army in the future, it will lead to the split of Xingchen Company, which will bring even more harm to Somalia.
