Twenty minutes later, Kashin left the Bagua City International Hotel, and the car he was in came to the base as soon as possible.

At this time, Li Lan was already in his private reception room, preparing fragrant tea, and sat quietly waiting for him to come. It was as if the two of them were just chatting next, and everything seemed very casual.

Under the opening of the guard's door, Kashin walked in and sat next to him at Li Lan's signal.

"The United States wants our oil." Kahin said immediately before he could sit still.

"What else?" Li Lan continued.

"It's gone." Kashin shook his head and said that there was nothing else, "What the United States means is that the oil that Somalia will exploit in the future must be traded through international oil trading channels, and the United States does not care who the oil is sold to, but every transaction must be settled in US dollars." ”

"And what do you say?"

"I told them very clearly that it was impossible." Kashin said.

"And so it was." Li Lan muttered pointedly: The purpose of the United States in doing everything possible at present is to maintain this huge economic empire. This will change for at least the next two decades, after the United States has successfully transformed its economy.

Oil is the foundation of today's economy, and the amount of oil produced every day is like printing dollar bills every day. To put it another way, just like in the beginning, as in the beginning, as much gold could be printed as much currency, and now in the eyes of Americans, oil is the gold of the original gold-based capitalism, and every extra barrel of oil on the earth you have, the value of the dollar is generated. Of course, all this requires a premise. That is, oil should be pegged to the dollar. This is realistic, if oil is traded in a peg to other currencies. The oil that is dug out has nothing to do with the dollar.

Chaotic Somalia is not worth investing too much. However, a stable Somalia, with the results of the current Somali oil exploration, will inevitably occupy a very important position in the African oil field in the future. At present, 28 percent of the oil in the United States comes from Africa, which is even larger than the United States' own oil producer.

If Somalia's oil is further developed, it will soon occupy a large international market and will also affect the African oil market. Now the war is no longer fought. Then the United States has no choice but to settle for the next best thing.

At this moment, the United States is not only in the process of military strategic transformation, but also in the transformation of economic strategy, and the economy cannot be affected too much by external effects until the complete transformation is completed. The output of the dollar must also increase steadily every year. Therefore, the United States must not only prevent the international oil market from being affected, but also increase the economic growth point.

"You refused, what did the other party say?" Li Lan continued to ask.

"The United States means. The United States will not change this ultimate goal, and the final concession is that if Somalia exports oil in the future, it must be settled in dollars. Kashin said.

"Have you made an appointment for your next secret meeting?" Li Lan did not make a decision immediately, but asked.

Kahin nodded. "The United States has given us three days to think about this matter. ”

"It doesn't take three days, just promise the United States. But the secret agreement must be concluded in peaceful negotiations between the two sides. And it will only be effective if the United States fulfills its commitments. Li Lan has already thought about this. After all, in a few months, he still has big chess to play, and it is still necessary to ease relations with the United States as much as possible at this time.

"I see."

——————

Twice a day in Somalia, a large number of foreign fishermen are sentenced every day, including a number of foreigners under the age of 18, who are directly deported.

On the afternoon of the trial, as in the morning, the Somali Supreme People's Court immediately handed down a verdict in the first trial, and the fishermen of Vietnam and the Philippines were sentenced to at least 10 years in prison, accompanied by a huge fine, and if the fine could not be paid, the fishermen of both countries would also become reform-through laborers.

However, in the following trials, time began to drag on, although fishermen from several countries were sentenced on the spot, and all of them were sentenced to less severe sentences than the fishermen in Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

In some countries, fishermen even just fined a little money and forget it.

When the whole world looks at all the data of this trial and compares it with Somalia's foreign relations in the past two years, it is very clear that Somalia has been lenient in judging its fishermen for those countries that have shown solidarity with Somalia, and for those countries that have not been bitter about Somalia, it has followed normal rules. As for those countries that do not have good relations with Somalia, the results for the fishermen are very sad.

On the other hand, negotiations continue every day, and after reaching a secret agreement with the United States, Somalia has also begun to achieve great results in peace negotiations with coalition forces. The most important issue of Somali territorial sovereignty was finally reached in the form of a withdrawal of coalition forces from all Somali territory and the immediate and unconditional release of all suppressed coalition prisoners by the Somali side.

The first step is to take a step, and the next step is to do it, and in the next other interest negotiations, each country has come up with its own interest chain. The simplest of these is Italy, which has been achieved after Somalia promised a regular supply of high-quality livestock and camel products, as well as valuable Somali agricultural products. As proof of peace between the two sides, Italy will also determine the legitimacy of the new Somali regime and end the economic blockade of Somalia after the peace agreement is signed.

Then there is Japan, which has no conditions for Somalia, because its interests in this war are in the hands of the United States. Anyway, at the end of the day, the Japanese side also closed up, which is equivalent to agreeing to the results of this peace negotiation.

This is very difficult for France to deal with, after all, France has a large circle of interests around Somalia, and the Somali side is also on the side of the couch and allows others to sleep soundly. After half a month of negotiations, the two sides continued a total of 13 high-intensity dialogues, and finally all the conditions were settled.

The main one is to maintain military coordination between the two sides on the border line close to each other's military bases, especially Djibouti, which is France's backyard in Africa, and Djibouti is pitifully small and has no depth. According to the results of the talks, the two sides must inform the other side in advance of the change of forces on the border, how many people to move? What is the purpose? How long does it last?

The military aspect was only one part of the 13-day intensive dialogue, as well as France's minerals and oil fields in Ethiopia, which hopes to have a new outlet to the sea, especially the east coastline of Somalia, which will help French oil export more in Africa. After the tariffs were negotiated, the result was finally passed.

On the U.S. side, with the existence of a secret agreement, the next talks have become very simple. The United States has achieved its goal by retreating to the next two things, and in the next negotiations, the United States does not want much. After Somalia promised to return the shell of the USS Bush, the United States achieved its last goal.

After everything was settled, the peace talks, which lasted almost a month, came to an end.

The peace agreement was notarized by the UN monitoring team, and the two sides ended the seven-and-a-half-day war once and for all.

Somalia also gained a lot in this negotiation, after all, the negotiations are two-sided. First, the lifting of the economic blockade on Somalia by the four coalition countries and the recognition of the status of Somali regime, and the willingness of all four countries to establish an office in Somalia will lay the groundwork for possible future counter-terrorism cooperation.

These are only minor issues, and the biggest benefit for Somalia in this negotiation is that none of the four countries say anything about the "nuclear weapons" that Somalia possesses. According to the urine nature of the United States, such concessions can be made in the face of Somalia's concessions on the oil issue.

However, this non-representation can also be understood as that there will be articles in the future. However, none of this matters, the important thing is that during this period of time, Somalia will not have another storm because of the issue of nuclear weapons.

In fact, according to the thinking of the Americans, things will not end so simply, after all, the United States has lost too much in this war. The United States also wants to gain a lot from Somalia, especially the wreckage of the stealth fighter plane that fell in Somalia. It's just that Americans don't want to eat fat in one go, and the rest of the things need to be done slowly.

The fact that the United States did not mention these things is also where Somalia has benefited very well in this negotiation. Li Lan also understands this very well, and at this time, the United States' main focus is no longer Somalia, but the domestic situation and the crackdown on the "Ben Hon." bin Laden".

On the day the peace agreement was signed, there was a small accident, after the signing of the four countries, it was the turn of Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti, but Somalia and four other countries signed the peace agreement, but not with Ethiopia. So, after the end of the war, in fact, there was no peace between Ethiopia and Somalia.

On the other hand, after the signing of the peace agreement, the United Nations also formally integrated the new Somali regime into the UN system, removing the former Somali government that had disappeared.

Since then, Somalia has been officially recognized by the international community, and Li Lan's identity as president has been questioned by many outsiders. Amid the international congratulatory voice, Somalia is also about to usher in a new world of development, and all countries have begun to announce their applications for establishing diplomatic relations with Somalia. As a result, even after the war, Somalia did not fade into the limelight. (To be continued......)
