However, while both the military and political circles in Somalia were preparing for the upcoming two foreign missions, the Ministry of Intelligence sent bad news. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since April and now in August, the 'Riyadh talks' have been held for four months in which formal and informal negotiations have been held, and all along, the 'Quad Alliance' has been jointly bearing pressure from the outside world because of secret agreements, and in the face of the tough attitude of some Western forces led by the United States and the two countries, the political axe of the four countries has adopted an uncompromising attitude of uniting to make the other side fall into the trap and dare not use force, so they have no choice but to try again and again at the negotiating table to resolve the nuclear issue of the four countries through peaceful means.

And from the Ministry of Intelligence, Syrian President Bashar? Assad has recently changed his attitude and seems to be less hawkish in the face of Western pressure.

Wang Ning was shocked when he got the news, he knew too well the important surname of this 'Quad Alliance', that is, because of the existence of the 'Quad Alliance', the United States and Israel did not dare to make a move, because they did not dare to guarantee that once they did it, they would face a counterattack from four countries that might master nuclear weapons. In addition, the unclear or vacillating attitude of some international powers is also the reason why the United States and Israel and other countries cannot persuade Congress to use military means.

The consequences of military means are too dangerous to be excluded for the time being. Then political diplomacy becomes the only means for countries that do not want the four countries to develop and possess nuclear weapons.

However, as we all know, politics and diplomacy are never isolated, and the economy and the military are never separated from politics. Moreover, diplomatic strategy is not just a matter of a few people sitting at the negotiating table and discussing, but also involves the exchange and compromise of interests in all aspects.

It is clear that Bashar? Assad's change in attitude is due to the fact that he is secretly under pressure or temptation from certain quarters and wants to compromise.

Among the 'four-nation alliance', Syria's nuclear technology is the weakest, and its plan to develop nuclear weapons has gradually started with the help of North Korea, but North Korea's own nuclear forces are very weak, and it is conceivable how much 'deterrence' Syria's nuclear technology has. Moreover, the last Israeli air force raid planned to destroy an important nuclear base in Syria in one fell swoop, so that Syria's nuclear program had to be temporarily suspended. Although Syria's nuclear program is being restarted with the help of the three countries because of its participation in the 'Quad Alliance', at this time, it is the time when the 'Quad nuclear issue' is in turmoil, and the other three countries do not dare to blatantly provide nuclear assistance to Syria.

This is not to say that the other three countries do not value Syria, on the contrary, the 'Quad Alliance' has resisted until now because of the unbreakable union of the four countries, and if this alliance is broken, it will trigger a series of unpredictable reactions and consequences. If Syria unilaterally withdraws from the 'Quad Alliance', it will greatly damage the morale and courage of the other three countries to resist.

"So, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad? Is the change in Assad's attitude related to the meddling of the US political axe? Li Mo asked in a deep voice with a frown.

"Yes, at the beginning of the month, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Clooney and French presidential foreign affairs adviser Revitt both secretly traveled to Syria to talk to Assad? Assad held secret talks. This information is still kept secret from the outside world, and our people also obtained it from Iranian intelligence. Wang Ning replied with a grim face.

Syria was once a French colony, and the relationship between the two is still good, just like the relationship between Somalia and the United Kingdom. France still has some influence in Syria.

Now I just don't know what benefits the political axes of the two countries promised, so that Bashar? Assad's attitude has changed, and he is even planning to withdraw from the nuclear program. Li Mo believes that Bashar will not be unaware that once Syria withdraws from the 'Quad alliance', there will be no chance to develop a nuclear program in the future. With Israel with hundreds of nuclear weapons on the side, and no supporting allies outside, Syria's nuclear program can only be terminated.

However, Li Mo is still very suspicious of this matter, which is mainly from the perspective of the political axe of Assad in Syria and its geopolitical situation.

The Assad family in Syria can be said to be the first family. Starting with his father, to Bashar? Assad came to power, and the father and son have been in charge of Syria for more than 40 years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are 'kings in the guise of presidents'.

Several Syrian-Israeli conflicts and Israel still occupy part of Syrian territory, so that there is almost no room for détente between the two countries, but after Bashar Assad came to power, relations between Syria and Israel began to ease, and the Syrian political axe no longer emphasizes the direct counterattack against Israel by military means, but through peaceful means such as appealing to the United Nations to resolve the Syrian-Israeli issue, but secretly, Syria supports Lebanese and Palestinian militant organizations and creates trouble for Israel.

Syria has better relations with France, which is Russia's last ally in the Middle East. Russia's political axe, whether it maintains its influence in the Middle East or for other reasons, will not sit idly by and watch Assad's political axe fall to the West or step down.

Russia's ambiguous attitude on the 'four-nation nuclear issue' has to be said to be partly due to the existence of Syrian reasons. If Syria launches the 'Quad Alliance', it will first cause dissatisfaction and even hostility among Somalia, Iran, and North Korea, because no one will continue to show goodwill to a 'traitor', and Russia will certainly not sit idly by in the face of Assad's political axe falling to the United States, which will lead to a series of bad consequences, and Assad's political axe will not be unable to see clearly, unless it completely turns to the West.

Moreover, the current situation in Syria is not very stable, because the Assad family has long held the Syrian presidential throne, and this 'feudal father-to-son' approach has long caused dissatisfaction among domestic forces. And according to some sources, Bashar? Assad intends to relinquish the presidency to a son after his resignation and continue to maintain the 'Assad dynasty'.

Bashar today? Assad is only in his forties and in the prime of life. And the Syrian presidency has been 'booked' to his son, how will the forces in Syria and ordinary people feel about this?

There has never been a shortage of people with ambition and desire in this world, what is everyone in politics for? Perhaps some people want to make some favorable changes in the country and improve people's livelihood through their own efforts, but most of those who are engaged in politics hope that they will one day reach the top and become a figure who speaks to the world and attracts the attention of the world.

The Assad family's approach is bound to cause a lot of dissatisfaction. At such a time, Bashar? Assad should not go to the Western world.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the United States and other Western countries are 'executioners', murderers who create wars and killings, while in the eyes of the United States and other Western countries, the Islamic world is a stubborn fortress, a 'cancer' that is unwilling to be fully integrated into the Western-dominated world system. In this way, it will certainly cause discontent in the Islamic world. Contradictions are difficult to resolve.

"Boss, you said Bashar? Is the reason for Assad's compromise so that the Assad family will continue to rule Syria? There are many countries in the Arab world whose political power is in the hands of a single family, and under the influence of Western culture, more and more people are dissatisfied with this kind of 'talented' family governance of the country, and ordinary people and other partisan forces want to dominate the country's politics. And Bashar? Assad may have received some kind of promise, such as the Western world will no longer criticize the Assad family's comrades, the media will no longer appear sensitive words such as 'reading talents', and even let the Western media publicize the benefits of the Assad family's leadership in Syria, so as to create a favorable external environment for the Assad family to continue to be comrades in Syria. ”

Li Mo's heart moved when he heard this, but this reason was very likely. Although Li Mo did not know that in 2011, Syria and several other countries broke out in the crisis of 'anti-family rule', he could see from the various information compiled by the intelligence department that the situation in some Arab countries was unstable, and the internal contradictions in many countries were already very acute, and a fuse could detonate a greater crisis.

And Bashar? If Assad wants to maintain his family's rule, he must have the support of the West. Because in the eyes of most ordinary people, the center of the world and the most open place is still Europe and the United States, which lead the world trend, not only casual fashion, but also the influence of culture and ideology, which is gradually playing a role.

What's more, similar to the rule of the Assad family, the disadvantages are obvious. Not only has it blocked the path of progress for a considerable number of people, but it has also caused dissatisfaction among those who have received modern education because of their long-term control of state power and resources, corruption breeds, and all kinds of decadent atmospheres. Resistance is certain, and there is a crisis.

"What is the attitude of the Iranian side?" Li Mo thought for a while and asked.

Regardless of Bashar? For what reason, Assad's attitude has changed. It's true that your side, Iran, and North Korea have to be prepared. Syria's decision to withdraw cannot be taken by surprise.

Since Bashar? The change in Assad's attitude has been made known to the Ministry of Intelligence, and even more so to the Iranian side. Maybe even North Korea knows about it, and at this time, how these two countries are preparing to deal with the next changes, Li Mo wants to figure out.

"Not yet, but I think Iran is secretly preparing a big plan." Wang Ning thought about it and shook his head.

After receiving the information from Iranian intelligence, he reported it. The latest news is now unclear to him.

"Oh? Secretly preparing a big plan? Li Mo asked curiously, but looking at Wang Ning's appearance, he also understood that Wang Ning really didn't know.

"You go back first and try to figure out that big plan for Iran." Li Mo knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he ordered Wang Ning to leave.

"Qingqing, I want to meet with the Iranian ambassador to Somalia in half an hour, you go and inform me!" After Wang Ning left, Li Mo called Fan Qingqing in and gave an order.
