The problem He Bin pointed out is a problem that deserves attention, but it is also a problem that is difficult to find a good way to solve. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If Li Mo's forces do not cause harm to Huaxia's interests in the future, there are only two ways to solve it: control and suppression.

But whether it is control or suppression, everyone here finds it more difficult. It can be said that Li Mo now 'occupies' an extremely special position, close to the Middle East in the East African region. This is a sensitive area at the moment, and any action of Huaxia will be amplified by other countries as long as it is slightly obvious, and relevant actions will be made quickly. This is also a reflection of the increasingly important position of China in the world with its development.

To control Li Mo or Li Mo's subordinates, Lei Zhen and the others did not think about it at the beginning. However, after careful study and analysis, it was concluded that Li Mo's subordinates could not be used by Huaxia at all. Unless it is with Li Mo's consent.

At the beginning, the department of the national security department that specialized in studying this matter, after reaching this conclusion, also praised Li Mo, and I don't know how to use it to recruit a group of highly skilled but loyal subordinates. In fact, this phenomenon is not unique. Generally speaking, talents who have a certain specialty and have advantages that others cannot match in certain fields will not be convinced, but once they 'bow down' to someone, they will easily not rebel. There are not many people who have 'multiple surnames as domestic slaves' throughout the history of China.

The suppression of Li Mo and the forces controlled by him is contrary to the fundamental purpose of Huaxia. Once Huaxia did so. Not only will he evacuate and lose his 'close' relationship with Li Mo, and he will no longer be able to obtain the benefits that some countries need through Li Mo, but it will also make Li Mo dissatisfied with China and create an enemy in vain.

Although He Bin's words caused some emotion in the hearts of several people, they were quickly suppressed by several people. Although these issues are important, they have little to do with them, and they are issues that need to be considered at the top level. All they can do is submit the issue. How they choose, that's none of their business.

"By the way, Counselor He, what is the purpose of this delegation that came some time ago? Could it be that Ben discovered that my country had the idea of opening up new sources of resources in Somalia, and he followed suit? Because he found that the atmosphere in the room was a little weird, Li Guoqing knew that the time would stagger the topic. He smiled and asked another question.

A little more than a month ago, a relatively large 'business delegation' was dispatched, and everyone present was aware of this, and the local newspapers even reported on it. Just when Lei Zhen and the others thought that he was here to 'sabotage and steal business', they suddenly found that the Somali transitional political axe seemed to be very uninterested in him. Unlike when President Yusuf personally received the China delegation, the Somali Transitional Government only sent a deputy minister of industry and a staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to receive the 'business delegation'.

Lei Zhen and the others were still very surprised at first, saying that they also belong to extremely economically developed countries in the world. For a poor country like Somalia, one of the world's least developed countries, business investment in Somalia should be welcome. However, through the understanding of a network of relationships that they 'operated' over the course of a few months, Lei Zhen and others discovered that most of the people in the Somali transitional political axe were dismissive of him. Later, I learned that the reason for this attitude was that I had broken faith in the Somali political axe a few years ago. It has caused a great deal of 'emotional hurt' to the Somali people.

When it came to business, He Bin's face became serious. But he did not immediately answer Li Guoqing's question. It's thinking about something.

As soon as Lei Zhen and the others saw He Bin's appearance, they knew that there was a deep inside story hidden in it. Even Ding Huiqiang, who was not very interested in the original, looked at He Bin fixedly.

"According to the news coming from China, I am ostensibly here for a 'business investigation', but in fact I want to contact the Somali transitional political axe, so that the Somali transitional political axe can provide a 'stronghold' for Yueben." After He Bin groaned for a while, he said something that surprised the people in the room very much.

"A stronghold? What stronghold? Lei Zhen muttered, still unable to comprehend the meaning of the word. couldn't help but look at He Bin again.

He Bin smiled and said, "I'll tell you another thing first." At yesterday's session of the General Assembly, my representative proposed the formation of a joint fleet to carry out armed escort of ships passing through the Gulf of Aden. The reason is to combat the increasingly rampant pirate attacks. ”

"Counselor He, didn't a cargo ship be hijacked by pirates in the Gulf of Aden some time ago? It is said that the ransom was paid before it was released. It's normal to say that this proposal is also normal! Lei Zhen asked a little strangely. At present, major countries in the world have long attached importance to the safety of shipping lanes in the Gulf of Aden. But in the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Seas, ships of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet have always cruised. Some countries are reluctant to publicly accuse the United States of 'not paying attention' to piracy in this area. And if you want to intervene, you can't do it with the power of one country. Even if the navy is the largest in Asia, it cannot send warships to escort its merchant ships on its own.

But he knew it wasn't that simple. Otherwise, He Bin would not have mentioned this matter.

"Oh, you know. It was the United States that first proposed the formation of a joint fleet to escort the convoy. At the last extraordinary meeting of the Security Council, the representative of the United States proposed the formation of a joint fleet to be responsible for the security of shipping lanes in the Gulf of Aden and to carry out the task of combating piracy. According to the information coming out of the UN General Assembly meeting, the proposal put forward by Ben had not been discussed with the United States before. Of course, it may also be that the two countries are suspicious and show it to the outside world. He Bin himself is a counselor of the Chinese embassy in another country. There must be a lot of interest in the General Assembly, a meeting of the whole world. In addition, at the General Assembly meeting, not only the representatives of member States to the United Nations participated, but most countries also sent a delegation to participate. Among them, the lowest level of the head of the team is the level of foreign minister. In some countries, they are even led by political axe heads or heads of state. When there are many people, it is even more difficult to keep secrets. What's more, this is something that appeared at the UN General Assembly, and it has attracted the attention of the outside world.

"As for Ben's visit to Somalia, according to our guess, we hope to get a 'temporary supply depot' in Somalia, which is adjacent to the Gulf of Aden, which is the most convenient supply depot." He Bin continued to say with a smile.

It wasn't until he finished speaking that Lei Zhen and the others also had a clear idea in their minds. The true purpose of the delegation was also 'clear,' and Li Guoqing understood that he was not 'stealing business' with him, and he was very sure in his heart. Naturally, he didn't need to care about other things, and he couldn't care about them.

"Hmph, Ben is not a small ambition. Over the years, with the support of the United States, it has repeatedly provoked our country. However, the temporary concessions made by our country for the sake of economic development make them think that we are afraid. His arrogant surname has not changed, and he wants to open a military base overseas so soon. What a dream! "As a soldier, Ding Huiqiang has no good impression of himself. I can't help but carry my own emotions in what I say.

Lei Zhen and the others also laughed and didn't take it to heart at all. Everyone has this kind of blood, but after a long period of suppression, it can now be 'freely retracted'.

"No, I always felt that it wasn't that simple. The Americans suddenly showed an interest in Somalia, and they themselves were in a hurry to join in the fun. There must be a reason for this, and a reason that we can't grasp. And according to intelligence, the Iranians also entered Somalia many times some time ago, is there really something here that attracts these countries? Lei Zhen said with a frown. As an intelligence officer, his specialty is to find common ground in many seemingly unrelated things, and to keenly peel back the hidden insiders.

"Team Leader Lei is right, there is also this kind of speculation in China. But because I couldn't find the reason, I didn't make any arrangements, for fear that it would startle the snake. And this order from the country is asking you to pay more attention to any unusual things that have happened in Somalia in the near future. Maybe there's something we're going to get. He Bin nodded and said.

…… At the UN headquarters, the US representative has held several private meetings with the representative since yesterday to discuss the proposal put forward by the representative to form a joint fleet. Despite the investigation in many quarters and even the use of threats, the US political axe is still unable to extract the true purpose of its proposal from the mouth of the representative. Although the representative said to the best of his might that the proposal was only to ensure the safety of the merchant ships, the US political axe did not believe his explanation at all.

The U.S. political axe is very angry and frightened by this 'betrayal' of the United States. For a long time, although the American political axe did not fully believe in these shorties, the years of servicing and servicing the saddle have caused the United States to gradually lower its monitoring of the book. With the exception of a few very important aspects, the United States has reached its lowest level of surveillance since World War II.

This behavior has undoubtedly poured cold water on the United States, making them realize that it is very likely that the United States is breaking away from the control of the United States, and although the US political axe is confident that it can solve the threat brought by the United States at any time, this kind of sign makes the American political axe extremely uneasy. In the East Asia and Pacific region, it is said that it is the most important chess piece to contain China, and now this chess piece has the intention of turning over and becoming a chess player, so how should the United States, the chess player who has the upper hand, deal with it?

Soon, the intelligence officers of the CIA in the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and the high-level officials within the military who had been deployed in the U.S. government and military for many years were dispatched one after another to inquire into the purpose of the 'move' through various channels.

At the same time, the U.S. political axe suddenly announced to the outside world this morning that the 'George? The USS Washington will head to the port of Yokosuka. However, it did not explain the whereabouts of the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk, which was stationed in Yokosuka at this time. This means that the United States is likely to maintain a strong naval and air force of two aircraft carriers in the western Pacific region in the near future.

While both China and Russia have expressed their protests, he has shown an unusually low-key and calm voice. There is no such attitude as before. This has taken many international observers by surprise. It is said that the United States is most pleased to strengthen its military strength in the western Pacific region, and at least this can ensure that it will not face a military threat from China. But it was a little weird to keep a low profile.
