Chapter 393: Soldiers and Politicians
Ye Chengfeng's shoulder wound was bandaged, Mu Wusi and Ye Chengfeng said, Jester wants to talk to you about something, if he asks you some questions, you can tell him what you think in your heart.
Mu Wusi was halfway through his words, Ye Chengfeng was a little inexplicable, he and this Jester officer only met for the first time today, what did he have to say to himself?
With a hint of doubt, Ye Chengfeng and Mu Wusi still went to Jester's wooden shed, and at this time Muster had already prepared a table of wine banquets.
Strictly speaking, it's not a wine feast, just a few simple Mogadishu specialties, but compared to the slums not far from here, it's a feast of the sea and sky.
Seeing that Ye Chengfeng and Mu Wusi were coming, Jester immediately took out the wine that was only available in Mogadishu and poured it for Ye Chengfeng and Mu Wusi.
It is a sake made with squid juice and a plant unique to the region, and is generally used to entertain important guests.
However, Ye Chengfeng didn't know that Jester set up this table of banquets to treat him as a guest.
Jester picked up the wine and got up to toast Ye Chengfeng and Mu Wusi first, Ye Chengfeng felt that the taste of this wine was a little weird, and he was really a little unaccustomed to drinking, so after tasting it, he asked Jester what was the matter with him.
Without waiting for Jester to speak, Mu Wusi first said to Ye Chengfeng, you are now the general director of the Ether Society, that is, the so-called Great Head of State outside, and you have all the fund resources of the Ether Society in your hands for so many years since its establishment.
Jester was looking at Ye Chengfeng and Mu Wusi at this time, and when he saw Ye Chengfeng looking at him, he smiled and nodded, indicating friendship.
Mu Wusi continued to say to Ye Chengfeng, you should know what the situation is in Mogadishu now, and even what the situation is in the whole of Somalia.
Ye Chengfeng heard Mu Wusi say this, but he still didn't understand what Jester and Mu Wusi meant, he immediately said to Mu Wusi, what do you want me to do, just say it directly.
After Mu Wusi and Jester glanced at each other at this time, Mu Wusi and Ye Chengfeng continued to say that Somalia is almost in a state of anarchy now, and General Jester is currently the largest official armed force in the capital Mogadishu, which I hope you can understand first.
Ye Chengfeng couldn't help but glance at Jester more, he didn't expect this officer to be a general? Does this mean that he controls all the official armed forces in Mogadishu?
Mu Wusi continued to say to Ye Chengfeng that for so many years, our Ether Society has always supported General Jester, and we will fund them to expand their armed forces every year, so that the headquarters of our Ether Society can be unharassed for a long time.
When Ye Chengfeng heard this, he knew why the headquarters of the Ether Society could still be safe and sound in a situation like Mogadishu, just like a paradise.
Mu Wusi then told Ye Chengfeng that General Jester's next goal was to first eliminate all unofficial armed forces in Mogadishu, and then gradually to the whole of Somalia.
Ye Chengfeng couldn't help but nodded, and said to Mu Wusi, it should indeed be like this, although the suppression by force seems a bit bloody and cruel, but in order for Somalia to return to a normal country, this method is necessary, if you want long-term peace and stability, you must counter violence with violence.
Jester saw that Ye Chengfeng had been silent, so he said a few words at this time, and immediately asked Mu Wusi, what did Ye Chengfeng say, and after Mu Wusi translated Ye Chengfeng's words to Jester, he immediately nodded and said a bunch of words.
Mu Wusi translated to Jester and said that General Jester said that you are right, but this kind of military conflict needs to be backed by funds, and the entire economic system of Mogadishu is almost paralyzed, and the state has no financial revenue at all.
Ye Chengfeng immediately understood what Jester meant, he just wanted that after he, the new prime minister of the Ether Society, took office, he could continue to support his government army like Mu Wusi.
Thinking of this, Ye Chengfeng immediately said to Mu Wusi and Jester, since Ether has a tradition of funding the Somali government army, of course I won't say anything, of course I will support it as always.
After Mu Wusi translated Ye Chengfeng's words to Jester, Jester immediately poured wine for Ye Chengfeng, toasted Ye Chengfeng's wine, and sincerely thanked him.
After Jetes, Ye Chengfeng and Mu Wusi drank, they put down their wine glasses, their faces were full of gloom, and they didn't look happy at all, and he muttered a few words of Somali in his mouth.
Mu Wusi and Ye Chengfeng translated that General Jester meant that as long as we Ether would continue to support their government forces, he dared to guarantee that all local armed forces in Somalia would be wiped out within three years.
Ye Chengfeng nodded, and asked Mu Wusi in surprise, since he was so sure, why was he still full of worries?
Mu Wusi and Ye Chengfeng said that what General Jester was worried about was not how to clear these local forces, but once all the local forces in Somalia were cleared, where would Somalia go?
Ye Chengfeng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, this problem is a bit big for himself, he is not a politician, and his concern is not how to govern a country.
However, Ye Chengfeng still expressed his opinion, he said to Mu Wusi, what is there to worry about, after the unification of the Somali armed forces, General Jester will be equivalent to re-establishing the country, and it is logical for him to become the first president of the new capital of Somalia, isn't it?
Mu Wusi translated Ye Chengfeng's words to Jester, Jester smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said a few words to Mu Wusi, Mu Wusi translated to Ye Chengfeng, General Jester meant that he was just a soldier, and he could barely be a military leader, but he could never be a national leader.
Ye Chengfeng was a little puzzled, if he didn't become a national leader, why did Jester work so hard?
Mu Wusi continued to translate Jester's words with Ye Chengfeng, General Jester said that the reason why Somalia is in today's situation is that the military force is too chaotic, if once the country is reunified, the military is still in power, then Somalia is still a military government, and the substantive problem cannot be solved at all, General Jester said that he may be a talent who fights a war, but he is definitely not a talent who governs the country, and if he is in power, it is not a blessing for the Somali people.
Ye Chengfeng couldn't help but be silent for a while when he heard this, he had to look at Jester a few more times, originally he didn't pay much attention to this only military leader in Mogadishu, but when he looked at him at this time, he felt that there was a halo behind him.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Chengfeng's understanding is that Jester is trying his best to unify the whole of Somalia for his own political future, but Jester is unwilling to be the leader of the country.
This made Ye Chengfeng can't help but sound the founding hero of the United States, Washington, he also let go of Manan Mountain after the war, and began to be his own free farmer, and then became the first president of the United States, also because the country is too in need of stability and a prestige who can suppress all the restless factors.
Ye Chengfeng couldn't help but feel that this Jester also had a legacy of Washington, and he was a person who really thought about the Somali people.
Thinking of this, Ye Chengfeng couldn't help but ask Mu Wusi, what does General Jester mean, even if he doesn't want to be president, there must be political talents in so many people in Somalia, and when the time comes, one will be elected.
Mu Wusi smiled at Ye Chengfeng, how easy is this, the chaos in Somalia is not a day or two, nor a year or two, the perennial ** has caused the country's population to plummet, and the illiteracy rate is already the highest in the world, even General Jester, he is illiterate.
Ye Chengfeng couldn't help but feel melancholy, the way Somalia looks now, it is indeed a bit difficult to deal with, after all, after so many years, in this kind of country, there will only be heroes in troubled times like Jester and Zack, where did they come from?
Mu Wusi continued to say to Ye Chengfeng, General Jester originally meant that he hoped that after Somalia was pacified, I could become the first president of Somalia, but you know what I am, I can't wait for Somalia to calm down at all.
Ye Chengfeng's heart moved when he heard this, he looked at Mu Wusi in a daze, then stood up and said to Mu Wusi, you don't want me to be the president of Somalia, right?
Mu Wusi also stood up, sat down with Ye Chengfeng in his arms, smiled at him and said, General Jester meant this, he said that the ability and funds of the Ether Society can completely lead the Somali people to the road of stability and happiness.
Ye Chengfeng immediately said to Mu Wusi, I was the general director of the Ether Society, and I was driven to the shelves, and now you still want me to be the president of Somalia, what are you making an international joke? Which of your eyes looks at me as the leader of a nation? What's more, I am Chinese, and I can't even understand a word of what the Somalis say.
Mu Wusi immediately said to Ye Chengfeng, don't worry, General Jester didn't let you take up the post immediately, it will take at least three years for him to recover the Somali field, will you have nothing to do in these three years? You will definitely grow up, and you can also consider the meaning of General Jester in the past three years, three years later, you may not be what you mean now, and if you are still unwilling to take up the post, General Jester will definitely not be reluctant, and then choose someone else.
Ye Chengfeng groaned for a while, and unconsciously took a sip of the wine glass, at this time he couldn't feel the strange taste of the wine at all.
He saw Jester looking at him expectantly, and now if he rejected him, it would probably chill his heart.
What's more, as Mu Wusi said, he has three years to think about it, maybe in these three years, Jester has found some talent in Somalia, and even if he comes at that time, people may not be willing to want it.
Thinking of this, Ye Chengfeng and Mu Wusi said, I can only say that I think about it, and everything will wait for General Jester to pacify Somalia.
Mu Wusi translated Ye Chengfeng's words to Jester, and Jester immediately raised his glass happily when he heard this.
After Ye Chengfeng drank another drink, he asked Mu Wusi and said, "Now that the headquarters of the Ether Society has been bombed, what should we do next?" ”
Mu Wusi said to Ye Chengfeng, now that you are the person in charge, you have the final say, and when I finish this meal, I will leave here.
