Chapter 35 East African Federation

Bossaso, formerly known as Puerto Qasim. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info is also the location of the headquarters of the Rice Mercenary Group, this season is the time when the port is the most stormy, at this time of the year, the port is closed and stops all operations.

The harbor was deserted, and old men and women sat idly on the side of the road, chewing on a leaf-like plant in their mouths.

When Li Chen first came, he thought that the people here were hungry to the extent of eating leaves, and it was not until later that he learned that this plant is called Carter, which is a poisonous product that can make people excited and dependent after eating, and it is said that it can make people forget about hunger after eating. Although the living standards of the people here have greatly improved, the people here are still habitually indulging in the happiness brought by Carter.

Seeing the arrival of the huge camel caravan, enthusiastic people raised their hands to say hello. Especially when they saw Hassan sitting on top of a camel, people excitedly raised their hands and greeted Hassan.

Due to the existence of the Rice mercenaries, the security here is very good, all the young adults who have no formal jobs are organized by the Rice mercenaries, and conduct military training on the beach every day, and the men who have excellent performance in the training will become the second-line troops of the Rice mercenary regiment, assisting the mercenary regiment to maintain law and order in the security zone and can get a relatively generous salary, which is enough to make the family worry about food and clothing.

Moreover, the mercenary group also brought funds, various materials, and medicine, which greatly improved the life of the entire town, so Hassan's prestige among the locals was extremely high. At this time, there were two old men who shouted loudly and excitedly, "Cheng...... Cheng ......" while trotting towards the camel that Li Chen was riding.

Li Chen smiled and jumped off the camel, "Haha, Uncle Chavali, Uncle Sheikh, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you still haven't learned to call my name." ”

Chavali, whose hair had fallen out, opened his arms and hugged Li Chen in his arms, and kept saying: "I'm so happy to see you, my body is much stronger, it's still so white, the camel you brought is really strong......"

"Stop, uncle, I still have to say hello to Uncle Sheikh." Li Chen hurriedly interrupted. One of the things that is wrong with Somalis is that when they meet friends, they always have a very wide list of greetings. The two of them have been in contact, and it is estimated that it will take half an hour, and Li Chen really can't stand it. If you pull the Somali people's favorite camel, Li Chen was once dizzy and was held by Uncle Sheikh, and listened to him praise the camel for an hour.

"Done! Good lad. You really came, and sure enough, the richest man brought so many camels......"

It's a camel again, Li Chen couldn't help but want to scold Hassan. But there is no way, this is the custom here.

Because Somalia is based on animal husbandry as the main pillar of its economy, it is estimated to be the country with the largest number of camels in the world. Camels mean wealth, and it's no wonder that when people talk about camels, they forget everything.

"Two uncles, these are all medicines I brought. You can help bring someone to the clinic, Hassan and I still have business. ”

"Medicine? As I said last time, you must be an angel sent by Allah. The two uncles knelt down on one knee excitedly and saluted Li Chen only to the most honorable people.

These two old men were the last time Li Chen came, and the two of them were the only two doctors in the port area of Bossaso, although Li Chen was very suspicious of their medical standards. But after chatting with them, I was moved by their compassion. Not everyone is able to save more people, and in the age of sixtieth, they can use the basic nursing books they have picked up to learn the diagnosis of daily pain. Although after Hassan's arrival, the medical robots of the Rice mercenary group naturally took over their work, they still insisted on working in the clinic, and their lives were happy. For these two old men, Li Chen was also very happy to befriend them, but just listen to them talk about the camel scripture.

After watching the two old men happily greet many people to follow the camel caravan, they led the camel caravan up to their small clinic not far away. Li Chen quickly ran to Rice's station with Hassan, and only after entering Hassan's command room did Li Chen burst out laughing, it was really rare to relax.

After a while, Hassan drove a Paramount Marauder into the desert with Li Chen at a rapid pace.

"Your Majesty, the test site is 19 kilometers deep into the desert, where it is a small hillside, which should meet your requirements."

Hassan drove the car seriously, although there will be no robbers here, but the United States will still instigate some ruthless mercenaries and exiles to wreak havoc here from time to time. He knew that no attack would be able to hurt His Majesty, but if something went wrong, he would make himself a joke for the entire legion. Yi Sishan's attack in the Three Kingdoms of Afghanistan was ineffective, and he actually went out in person under the crown, which has been regarded by all the soldiers as the greatest shame since the establishment of the Royal Knights of Rice. Hassan doesn't want to be the object of everyone's digestion, and robots have self-esteem.

"Well, just go there, the two desert roses and scorpion chrysanthemums selected this time are themselves drought-tolerant and medicinal plants, and I adjusted their genes so that they can adapt to the humidity here. Moisten the air, and it should be possible to plant successfully. Desert roses and scorpion chrysanthemums, in particular, would be a beautiful sight if they could one day bloom all over the African desert. Li Chen looked at the desert on the side of the road, and bright red roses and golden chrysanthemums seemed to appear in front of him. Flowers bloom all over the mountains. In addition to its economic value, the flowering season here should become a tourist wonder.

"Your Majesty, Chief Arnold wants me to remind you that the climate of the Somali Peninsula is one of the most unique in the world. The coastline runs from northeast to southwest, and the wind direction in winter and summer is parallel to the coastline, which is not easy to form rainfall, especially in summer, when the cold current formed by the rise of the Somali seabed water causes more fog and less rain, and in winter it becomes a warm current. Growing these plants is not a fundamental solution to the drought problem here. Hassan seriously relayed the message sent by Arnold to Li Chen, and he never imagined why the leader of Arnold did not send the message to His Majesty, but had to convey it himself.

"Bang!" Li Chen knocked Hassan's head with his hand fiercely, and then glared at him angrily, his eyes closed silently.

Hassan shook his head innocently, and after returning to normal, he still drove without saying a word. Hassan, who has no pain nerves, doesn't care about the crown hitting him, but the system in his brain keeps judging: what does this action of the crown represent?

Of course, Li Chen knew about this problem, and he had been laughed at by Sissi for several days for this matter.

When formulating the development plan for Africa, Li Chen enthusiastically proposed to use seawater desalination technology to irrigate the desert with purified fresh water and assist in plant transformation, so as to improve the desertification situation of the North African continent in the shortest possible time and turn the entire North Africa back into grassland. I thought it was a very simple thing, to get a device to separate minerals and water, and even when discussing with the fox, Li Chen had even directly ordered the small production workshop of the God of War to produce hundreds of units in one go.

But now these machines are all stored on the far side of the moon, because Li Chen did not consider the cost of running the machines before producing them.

This machine can produce 100,000 tons of fresh water per day, but the problem is that it costs about 1.3 Chinese dollars per ton of fresh water to make it, which means that a seawater purifier costs 130,000 per day, which is a cost that Somalia cannot afford.

In other words, if this machine is used as urban water, it can definitely be welcomed by Somalia, which is already suffering from water shortage, and it can definitely make money for Li Chen. But if you want this water to be used to irrigate the desert and turn Nuoda'......s northern Africa into a grassland, Li Chen is rich, but such a large investment must always give the outside world a reason. Could it be that there is a panic to burn money? The saliva of the Chinese people can drown him.

Of course, Li Chen also has a purification device that does not require cost, but take it out like this? For the sake of an Africa, Li Chen thinks it's not worth it.

Therefore, the matter of hydrating Africa has always been an embarrassing thing in Li Chen's heart. With his eyes closed, he seriously recalled the various methods he used in the past when he discovered an uninhabited planet in order to transform it into a more suitable environment for life:

Meteorological weapons, constantly creating rain over Africa? If it is too contrary to nature, it will definitely cause mudslides and large-scale soil erosion, which is not appropriate.

Crustal weapons, forcing the Horn of Africa to secede and become the fifth continent, altering ocean currents and allowing the Mediterranean to expand its reach to improve the climate of the entire region? With so many people, I can't bear it.

Using alien plants to grow enough in a short period of time to change the local climate in Africa? Invasive alien species are also not suitable.

Just make a small comet fall and let its melted water be used as a water source? However, the alien germs brought by the starry sky dust may directly destroy the uncultivated and fragile life on the earth.

Adjusting the Earth's magnetic field to change baroclinic waves in the mid-latitudes? It is better to use the earth's crust weapon directly, thinking about the impact of the change in the magnetic field on the movement of the earth's crust, Li Chen shuddered.

Changing the topography of a planet to the point where the wind and rain are smooth is a very simple thing for Li Chen, and he has a lot of experience. But all this is based on the fact that at that time it was an uninhabited planet, but the Earth ...... There are too many humans.

"But what I'm doing is itself going against the trend, so how do I go with the flow?" Li Chen called up a three-dimensional earth in his brain, which Arnold made a few years ago, and he could observe the real-time situation of the earth at any time, and 36 space stealth satellites were constantly serving this small software. It's just that Li Chen hasn't paid attention to it all the time, and now he remembers to study it carefully.

"It shows the currents, wind directions, and topography of the earth throughout the year to simulate the operation of a year." With Li Chen's instructions, the earth changed rapidly, and various arrows and color blocks that marked ocean currents, air pressure, trade wind belts, precipitation, and temperature changed rapidly.

Gradually, Li Chen discovered the cause of the drought in North Africa, the subtropical high pressure caused the dry and hot downdraft to affect this area all year round, due to the development of animal husbandry in this area led to the destruction of vegetation, and the rise in ground temperature aggravated the dry heat. In addition, the coastline is smooth from northeast to southwest, and the northeast wind in winter and southwest wind in summer are parallel to the coast. Runair simply can't reach the interior.

This is different from the cause of drought in western China, Li Chen clearly saw that the western part of China is blocked by the deep inland and the plateau and several huge mountain ranges, and the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans are wet. Moistened air cannot reach the hinterland.

Thinking about it, Li Chen's brows slowly began to twist into a ball. How nice it would be if this was an uninhabited planet!

"Your Majesty, arrive at your destination." Hassan's voice pulled Li Chen's thoughts back to reality.

"Forget it, let's study it slowly. Anyway, I didn't figure it out for so many days. It's really not possible to wait for the region to become rich before using desalination technology. Anyway, if the green area is increased, the microclimate here can be changed, just a little slower. Li Chen settled down, jumped out of the car, and looked at the small hill.

The mountain is not high, it is more than 300 meters, the whole mountain is bare, occasionally there are a few green areas, you can see scorpion chrysanthemum, aloe vera, desert rose scattered distribution, if it is planted here, it will not look very abrupt.

Let's start, Li Chen gave the order directly to the transport ship overhead.

I saw a light rain suddenly fall in mid-air, and things like water droplets appeared in the air, quickly falling on the gravel in a radius of about 400 meters in front of Li Chen. In the desert at noon, the ground temperature is as high as 50 degrees, and it is easy to fry an egg, but the water droplets that fall at this time are not evaporated by the heat.

In order to change the growth period of scorpion chrysanthemum and desert rose, Li Chen deliberately used a nutrient film to stimulate the rapid growth of seeds, wrapping the seeds with a high-grade nutrient solution that improves the development rate of seeds. With a two-pronged approach, it is estimated that by the time they return tomorrow, the scorpion chrysanthemum and the desert rose will have grown into the same situation as their nearby counterparts. By then, the nutrient solution and film have been depleted and will not continue to provide the nutrients needed for rapid growth.

After the sowing was completed, Li Chen stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pulled it on the ground a few times, looked at the situation of the seed, and used his mental power to write down the internal genetic state of the seed at this time. Nodding, he said to Hassan, "Let's go, a few people from the East African Federation are already waiting in Arusha." ”

The East African Federation is a political federation formed by Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and other countries in East Africa, on April 13, 96, after Li Chen left Sabah angrily, the first stop was to teleport to Arusha on the border of Tanzania, preparing to climb Mount Kilimanjaro from here.

Before setting off for Mount Kilimanjaro, in order to complete his entry procedures, Li Chen notified the head of Tanda, who had long been brainwashed by Arnold.

With the arrival of His Majesty, the head of state of Tanzania naturally came to pay a visit, and he also informed several other heads of state in East Africa. Due to the road, the arrival time of the people who came to visit the meeting was both before and after, which led to the place where Li Chen stayed was very busy. As a result, Li Chen, who was not in a very good mood, said to the three heads of state of Tan, Kenya, and Uzbekistan, who came to visit him at the earliest: We must unite and act in unison.

Originally, Li Chen was a little annoyed because he was constantly being driven by people, and when he said that, his original meaning was: Won't you come together?

As a result, the heads of state, who had been brainwashed, were sincerely frightened, believing that His Majesty was not satisfied with the disintegration of the East African Community. What to do?

The three of them gathered at the hotel that day to discuss for half an hour, and in any case, we must show our unity to Her Majesty.

Therefore, on the same day, after urgently discussing with the country, the three heads of state hurriedly held a press conference to announce that they planned to form an East African federation. To achieve the goal of uniting the countries of East Africa for common development.

Then Li Chenmian smiled, and the heads of state of the three countries also laughed, but they didn't notice that their respected crown smiled very awkwardly.

In July 96, Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda had achieved free convertibility of the currencies of the three countries. The East African Community (EAC) cooperation began in 1967 with a rapid pace of twists and turns. Of course, Hassan, who also misunderstood Li Chen's intentions, played a big role in this.

Anyone who dares to question His Majesty's wishes, kill! Hassan doesn't think there's any hesitation in such a thing.

This time, Li Chen also took responsibility for his own unending sentence: If it is to be established, it should be done well, and Somalia, Rwanda, and Burundi should be brought along casually, and the speed should be fast.

Arusha, the name of the state of Tanzania, is on the south side of Mount Meru at an altitude of 1,409 meters above sea level. Because the three countries believed that they had received clear instructions from their crowns here, they defined this place as the future headquarters of the East African Federation and the future federal capital.

The Kilimanjaro Mountains Hotel is located at the foot of Africa's highest peak, and today the entire staff of the hotel is trembling as if they were facing a great enemy. Because the East African Federal Summit was held here, the hotel boss moved quickly while holding his huge belly, and this is the second time. For the first time, the proclamation of the Eastern Federation here made all Africans who speak Bantu extremely proud. Now the second meeting has been chosen here again, so that the boss, who is also a native African speaker of Bantu, has been drowned in the sea of happiness all day long.

Li Chen straightened his clothes, walked out of the conference room on the top floor, turned around and entered his suite opposite, the meeting had ended.

There is no doubt about the loyalty of these people to Li Chen, but this does not mean that there is no competing interests between them. This is also the case in Europe, which is why the Fox Society asked Li Chen to leave China for a while and concentrate on European and African affairs.

At the beginning of the meeting, Li Chen asked to determine one thing: what is the national system?

After intense discussions, it was decided to continue with the federal system.

Li Chen's second question: Who has the decision-making power and what is the decision-making mechanism?

There is nothing to discuss about this, and the situation in East Africa can only be a presidential system now, and without a strong government, East Africa will only be mired in endless checks and balances of power between factions and tribes. Only by allowing the president, even if he is the head of state and the head of government, to have an overview of executive power and command the armed forces, can he effectively handle all kinds of entanglements of interests in the daily affairs of the country. According to Li Chen's understanding, East Africa is a mess that cannot be solved. You can only use a knife to cut all the hemp and break it up before you can roll it back into a rope.

Looking at the several heads of state in the conference room, Li Chen said the third sentence: Elect the best leader in your mind besides yourself?

Each person has a pre-printed piece of paper that corresponds to the names of everyone but themselves.

Let's choose, each person chooses 1 place, and the one with the highest number of votes wins. His Majesty believes that each of you is very good, but I want you to choose the best besides yourself, and let this person be the decision-maker, he may not be the best but definitely the most suitable.

Of course, I remind you that if each of you ticks the box behind the name of the least likely to be elected, it may be the weakest one who becomes the first head of this federation. You know the consequences......

In the end, Mkapa, Tanzania, was elected as the first president of the East African Federation by 5 votes out of 6 votes. The overall situation was decided, and Li Chen motioned to Mkapa to preside over the meeting, while he sat on the side and seriously acted as a supervisor.

Maybe it's because of Li Chen's existence, or maybe these people also feel that relative to the future, there is nothing to argue about the short-term interests at the moment, and with the support of the crown, economic development is not a problem, and unbalanced development is not a problem, so the various agendas are progressing very quickly.

In less than a day, the results of various meetings came out. Li Chen, who had not said a word, looked at the feasible comments sent by the fox club, then nodded, got up and went back to the room.

Today, his role is to be a Taishan stone, dare to be only here to press the array. Now that the goal has been achieved, Li Chen, who was already drowsy, just wants to go back to sleep as soon as possible.

Throughout the day, I continued to observe the dynamics of the seeds sown yesterday with my mental power, carefully comparing them with the natural similarities around me and evaluating whether there are adverse effects after genetic adjustment, which is indeed a little tiring!

On the morning of 29 August 1997, the East African Federation issued the Arusha Declaration in Arusha

First, it was announced that Somalia, Rwanda, and Burundi would be admitted to the East African Federation.

Second, it was announced that the East African Federation would adopt a common currency, the East African shilling, on January 1, 1998, and abolish the respective national currencies. The floating system is closely linked to the exchange rate of the Chinese dollar and the euro.

Thirdly, it was announced that on January 1, 1998, the Customs Union of the member states of the East African Federation was launched and a common market was formed.

Fourth, the East African Federation announced the integration of common tourist destinations and common tourist visas.

Fifthly, the establishment of the Federal Unified Authority, the East African Federal Unity Council, was proclaimed, and the Unification Council was to formally launch the political federation process on 1 January 1998. The first lord. Mr. Mkapa.

Sixth: Proclamation of the establishment of the Bundestag, which is responsible for drafting the Federal Constitution and amending the laws of the Member States.

Seventh, the establishment of the Federal Administration of State-owned Assets was announced, and the existing state-owned enterprises in the same industry in various countries were reorganized into common assets of the Federation, and the first batch was communications, transportation, banking, medicine, import and export, and military industry. Prior to the merger, profits were distributed in proportion to the shares.

Eighth: Declare that the Federation will not form a national defense force, but will outsource its defense operations to the Rice Security Protection Group, which will be subordinate to Mkapa in internal and external affairs. Seat of instruction.

As soon as this news came out, Keton, who was already anxious about hurricanes and Europe, was immediately stunned. The world is changing so fast! Mighty East Africa is not a very good presence for civilized society. In desperation, Callton gave up directing the relief efforts and gathered his staff to discuss how to deal with the changes in Africa.

The FΓΌhrer looked at the news and dropped the lighter in his hand by mistake. After calming down, he said to Vice Head of State Wang Ping: Li Chen has made a move in East Africa, and he is so generous. Find a way to get in touch with him, and we still have a lot of opportunities to work with him in Africa.
