This kind of call is not suitable for talking about business, and Li Lan quickly ended the conversation with Ali. Khamenei's call, however, also took the opportunity to finalize plans for future visits.

And in the coming period, some things about military exchanges between the two sides.

The words were not too detailed, because whether it was Li Lan or Ali. Khamenei was unable to immediately determine a detailed framework for future cooperation between the two countries, and the general future development intentions will not change, and then the personnel of the two countries will conduct detailed exchanges and then determine the details.

Iran's purchase of weapons this time is a litmus test, and Li Lan attaches great importance to the performance that makes Ali. Khamenei was very satisfied, and as soon as this signal came out, he also understood that Li Lan's attitude toward Iran was also an important measure that would determine the depth of friendship between the two countries in the future.

In fact, within Iran, the issue of buying weapons from Somalia has been discussed no less than 10 times, and Iran's decision-makers wanted to improve relations with the Western world during the economic downturn, but they have not been able to find a good way to develop and import weapons. After all, Iran does not look down on ordinary weapons, and the United Nations sanctions on Iran are also affecting Iran's arms imports.

Somalia is not among them, so it naturally becomes Iran's best arms seller. However, after more than a dozen high-level meetings, the final decision on the purchase of weapons from Somalia has not been decided. Because there are so many weapons that Iranians like, whether it is army tanks, navy ships and air force fighters, Iranians want to buy.

However, Iran cannot buy everything it needs in one go, mainly because of financial constraints, otherwise they want to follow the configuration of the Somali army. Build your own navy, land and air force, so far. In the future, Iran's voice will not be the same as that of the United States.

After taking into account reasonable circumstances. In the end, the Iranian side also decided to purchase the first batch of equipment, and the combat capability of these equipment was mainly to improve Iran's air supremacy and the level of defense of maritime borders as soon as possible.

The Air Force is to densely populate Iran's internally aging warplanes, and in terms of air supremacy, the Iranians chose Black Hawk fighters, and hoped to be able to buy parts to assemble in Iran.

Missiles are Iran's second choice, and the V-1FJ shore-based anti-ship missile, which has had a chance to be the Aegis warship's record, has become the main weapon purchased by the Iranians. Because once again a confrontation with the US Navy in the Persian Gulf, then these anti-ship missiles. It can easily threaten the security of U.S. warships in the entire Persian Gulf, which is an asymmetric military balance that the Iranians have always wanted.

If the first batch of arms purchases is officially concluded, Iran will immediately start the second batch of arms purchases, and this time the arms trade, Iranians also hope to establish closer relations with Somalia with practical actions. In the future, the two sides will be able to have more in-depth political and military exchanges.

Far from it, if it could hold a military exercise with the Somali army every year that is not aimed at a third party, it will be for Iran. It's a very good political signal to the outside world.

Iran pursues an independent and non-aligned foreign policy, opposes hegemonism, power politics and unipolar worldliness, and is willing to develop relations with all countries except Israel on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit. We advocate dialogue among civilizations and the establishment of a just and rational new international political and economic order. It was believed that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States should be respected and that States had the right to choose the path of social development in accordance with their own historical, cultural and religious traditions. We oppose Western countries interfering in other countries' internal affairs or imposing their own values on other countries under the pretext of democracy, freedom, human rights, and disarmament.

Iran's development path is also for the sake of why it can easily walk with Li Lan, because the two sides are identical in many future development directions and have very similar goals. At the same time, both countries are facing a lot of international pressure from the West.

Because of the nuclear issue. Iran is basically in a state of severing diplomatic relations with Europe and the United States, and the same is true for Somalia. Because of Li Lan's sensitive relationship, many European countries that originally had diplomatic offices in Somalia were used. All withdrew from Somalia during Li Lan's administration.

Up to now, the countries that have established diplomatic relations with Somalia are basically Asia, the Middle East, Africa and South America. So far, only Ukraine and Russia have established diplomatic relations with Somalia and have established embassies and ambassadors.

There are also a number of countries that have set up offices in Somalia, or higher-level agencies, that are a means of conveying the intentions of both sides at the national level, and have not yet reached the level of establishing diplomatic relations.

Officially, because the situation faced by the two countries is roughly the same, the geographical location between the two countries is very important, and the cultural aspect is extremely close, so the two countries can be said to be natural allies. Of course, after Li Lan took office, he also announced the policy of non-alignment in Somalia. The same is true for Iran, but this will not hinder the prospects for future cooperation between the two countries in various fields.

At the military-strategic level, once Somalia and Iran are completely together, it will be an incomparably heavy blow to the US oil interests in the Middle East, and Iran alone will not be able to block the Persian Gulf and will not be able to stop the US Navy. But with the addition of a Somali navy, the situation is very different.

At that time, the United States will have an even greater headache. At that time, most of the US military bases in the Middle East will be under a strong military threat, and the US Fifth Fleet would be better off changing its location, and the Persian Gulf will not be safe anywhere.

Once there is no naval deterrence, then most of the US oil channels in the Middle East will be cut off at any time, and the damage to the United States will not be a little bit.

Therefore, Somalia and Iran come together not only as an economic interest, but also as a very important military strategy for both sides.

At the economic level, Li Lan is also interested in many things in Iran, in addition to oil, Iran's annual export of metal ores can reach tens of billions, which is what he values the most. In addition, Iranian fruits and leather, carpets, and dried fruits are all popular products in Somalia.

There is a very broad space for cooperation between the two sides, Li Lan has weapons and equipment that Somalia is interested in, and among ordinary commodities, Somali camels and goats, bananas, spices, coffee, and dairy products are the favorite products of the Iranians.

As long as the circulation of these goods becomes frequent. That will play a great role in stimulating the economies of both sides.

So when Li Lan saw Khamenei's account. He immediately made a request for a phone call in order to let Khamenei know how much he valued.

A consensus on the future development of Iran was determined. Li Lan once again browsed through the order. It seems that I am still looking for something that will interest me again.

However, he has been busy lately, and it is difficult for him to have such a comfortable time.

"Jingle bell!" The ringtone of the mobile phone came from his pocket, and when he took it out, he saw a very familiar number, which aroused mixed emotions in his heart.

From the outbreak of this war to the present, he no longer needs to rely on his homeland. Now he is a Somali national, in the form of a law. He is no longer a member of the country of China.

But from the perspective of personal emotions and ethnicity, no matter which nationality he is, it cannot change the fact that he is a Chinese, and his veins are still flowing with Yanhuang blood.

It was this emotion that made his nationality change to Somali nationality a few days before the election, which is enough to show too much of his concern for his motherland.

In the past few years in Somalia, I have never stepped out of this land, and now I have completely settled here. But the longing for the hot land of the motherland has not diminished for a day. Although there is no longer his home there, as a Chinese son, he is far away in a foreign country. The destination of the soul has not changed because of the change of time and space.

He was a little reluctant in his heart, and how many times he had thought that if the base car hadn't gotten him to Somalia. If he settles down in any piece of land in China, I'm afraid he won't have it today. Maybe because of the base car, it was easily destroyed by his own motherland.

Stay away from your own home. Rebuilding a home of your own is also the best choice, any good side, there is also a bad side. However, he also knows that personal emotions must give way to the future.

Now he has grown up outside and created a world of his own, and the support of another family has never stopped.

After connecting the phone, the hearty laughter of the No. 1 chief came from his ears: "Li Lan, I heard that you have made a fortune." ”

"Ugh!" Li Lan never thought that as soon as he connected the phone, such a sentence came directly from there, which made him a little baffled, "There!" Recently, I've been so poor that I'm almost like pants, and the land of Somalia is like a sponge that doesn't have enough to feed up, and I'm worried about the future economy? I also plan to call you, hoping that you will approve trillions of dollars to come to the rivers and lakes to help you in an emergency. ”

On the other side of the phone, when the No. 1 chief heard Li Lan's last words, he was immediately angry and funny, and said: "You really know how to open your mouth, trillions, and especially dollars, you don't need to spend money on such a big family business!" You are the only one in the world who dares to open such an opening, and it is easy to want money, and if you sell your army, I estimate that it will be worth 500 billion. ”

The corners of Li Lan's mouth curled, he was in a happy mood now, and there was a little more joke in his words: "There is no way!" You are a senior, you know very well the philosophy of the great man's gun policy, if I sell all the army, then the next day I will die on the street, and when the time comes, I am afraid that I will not even be able to find a single hair. ”

"Then what do you want to do with trillions, fight the world war!" The No. 1 leader was also a little infected by Li Lan's relaxed words, and his words also seemed very relaxed.

"Alas, there is no way, now that there are tens of millions of people following me, it is impossible for me not to think about their lives! You see, there is not even a single railway in Somalia now, and that makes me feel embarrassed. Therefore, I can only put my hope here for you, if there are no trillions, then I won't ask for much, just give six or seven hundred billion casually, whether it is six hundred billion or seven hundred billion, I will not choose. Li Lan said very scoundrelly.

"If you want to be beautiful, six or seven hundred billion dollars, it is absolutely impossible, and there is no need to negotiate. In that case, look at how much this old man of mine is worth, and sell me to you. The No. 1 leader was also quite amused when he heard Li Lan's hooligan tone.

"How much can you be worth? I really don't know how to calculate this, but if you go to work to make money, I guess I'm going to starve to death. So it's still free. This time, Li Lan also heard that the No. 1 leader really seemed to want to invest in himself. Six or seven hundred billion is the number he joked about.

"You're so dissatisfied, tell me about it! How much arms have been sold in this time? Chief One asked.

"It's hard to make a living with a small business." Li Lan said.

"Don't fool me with the trick of fooling others, I watched this military parade, and then I saw the price in your system, even I couldn't help but place an order." The No. 1 leader called over for this matter, and he saw the entire Somali military parade from beginning to end, so he naturally understood the value of Somalia at this time. In his opinion, at least 30 percent of the countries in the world will not be able to sit still.

Moreover, the Ministry of Heavy Armament also has a great interest in the Somali twin-engine air superiority fighter, and even submitted an application for purchase, hoping that he can approve it. At this time, China is proposing with Russia the intention to buy the Su-35, and judging from the performance in the Somali war, the performance of the Black Hawk fighter fully meets the needs of China, and is not much worse than the Su-35. Before the start of formal negotiations for the purchase of the Su-35, the No. 1 chief was also somewhat considering the Somali heavy fighter.

"It's all small fish and shrimp, and they can't even feed the production line, let alone make a profit." Li Lan continued to ramble.

"By the way, you just said that you don't have the money for economic construction, maybe I can really help, as for hundreds of billions of dollars, don't think about it, you don't have to open your mouth if it's more than 50 billion dollars." Regarding Li Lan's response, Chief No. 1 did not take it to heart, but ran out of a piece of cake.

"I can say okay first, I don't have anything, don't come to fight my idea, if you really have money and support me, just call me, I don't want more, since it can't exceed 50 billion, then I want a little less, 499999999999 dollars. It's already a dollar less, and it can't be less. The corners of Li Lan's mouth curled, and she still had a lion's mouth.

"You really dare to speak, in other words, you are not from Shanxi, how can you be so calculating?" Hearing Li Lan's words, the sip of tea that the No. 1 leader had just taken in his mouth almost spewed out, "Also, do you think I look like a person who has done a loss-making business?" If you don't give me something, I'll throw that much money at you for nothing! Anyway, Somalis are not Chinese, so there is no need for me to be kind. ”

"And what do you always want?" Hearing that Chief No. 1 didn't talk about money anymore, Li Lan was overjoyed and said in his heart: There is a door!

"I don't want more, give me a dozen or twenty aircraft carriers." (To be continued......)
