Chapter 840: The Sovian-Russian Deal

In the Kremlin, Putin personally presided over a grand welcoming ceremony to welcome Li Lan's official state visit to Russia.

On the second day of the war in Kenya, Li Lan began to prepare for a trip to Russia after a stern warning speech to the nation.

Today is the third day of the outbreak of the Soken War, and Li Lan has also departed for Moscow, and according to the itinerary, in addition to the official state visit, he will also observe the tank competition hosted by Russia with Putin.

At this moment, on the battlefield in Kenya, the Somali army has completed the occupation of Nairobi by the outlying cities, the Somali Air Force cooperated with the naval amphibious combat group, launched more than 1,500 bombing sorties in Kenya, and the total number of explosives dropped exceeded 15,000 tons.

This is the most intensive air raid launched in a short period of time since World War II, far more than any other war, and it is also a special demonstration of Somalia to the outside world.

Immediately afterward, the Somali Marines landed in Mombasa, Kenya's largest city, and after a day of fighting, almost all other areas were occupied except for the US naval base here, for which the Somali side dispatched an airborne brigade and two Marine brigades, more than 20,000 regular troops.

By the third day, the battle for the city of Nairobi officially began, and the capital Nairobi had become a dead city at this moment, and most of the Kenyans and institutional companies had withdrawn from the city due to intensive air strikes.

At the same time. On the official website of the Somali Ministry of Defense, a transparent and open external section has been specially opened. All captured and killed former NATO soldiers will be published on this board. And, of course, a large number of photos of destroyed NATO-made weapons.

When Li Lan walked into the Kremlin, the battle for Nairobi also entered the most critical moment.

However, compared with this war, the factors behind Li Lan's sudden visit to Russia at such a critical moment are more interesting. In the Kremlin, almost all media outlets in Moscow were present.

As soon as they saw Li Lan and Putin's warm embrace, their cordial appearance made countless eyes begin to flicker, and the high-level US leaders who had already made a decision had a very bad feeling when they saw this scene.

What does the United States need most right now? In addition to the need for a lot of money to cover the huge economic debt, there is a need for allies. Originally, the United States could have benefited enormously from the European Union and Japan. Now forced by the need for allies, the Americans have stopped some of the economic maneuvers they have taken against the EU and Japan.

As far as China and Russia are concerned, the United States has no choice but to do anything, not to mention the rapid rise of Somalia, in addition to its allies, the United States also needs one less enemy, otherwise the domestic economy is sluggish, military spending is growing explosively, and there is simply no money to make up for the huge financial gap. This is a fundamental crisis for the United States.

After yesterday's discussion and Li Lan's unleashed attitude, the United States finally decided to compromise with Russia and is ready to stop the sanctions against Russia. Restore international oil prices to ensure the stability of U.S. oil revenues.

However, Li Lan made a surprise visit to Russia. The intimacy between the leaders of the two countries has been overwhelmed by the fact that the Americans have come out of nowhere. As a head of state. Every word and deed represents the attitude of the country, and the two heads of state express themselves intimately. It is an important signal to show the relationship between the two countries.

In fact, this relationship also depends on the attitude of the United States and NATO, which have maintained close cooperative relations with Russia and Somalia, and expressed full support for the sanctions imposed on both sides.

Now Russia has submitted a sky-high breach of contract bill to France, and for France's delay in delivering the amphibious assault ship in the northwest, Russia has come out not to take back the warship, but to demand that France compensate Russia for its losses in accordance with the contract.

This hand is Russia's expression of its attitude to Somalia, because Russia is ready to abandon the Northwest-class amphibious assault ship and continue to order an amphibious assault ship from Somalia. Like the second ship before it, the third amphibious assault ship was built on the territory of Russia.

This was only the news before Li Lan's visit to Russia, and now Li Lan is paying an official state visit to Russia for the third time, and the intimacy between the two sides has made many people feel like they are on their backs.

In front of dozens of media outlets, Putin personally supported Somalia's air strikes on Yemen and the dispatch of troops to Kenya, and even said that the Russian military could provide all kinds of support to the Somali military if Li Lan needed it. In addition, he expressed great indignation at the fact that European countries have dumped chemical, medical, and nuclear waste along the coast of Somalia, and expressed great disappointment at the refusal of European countries to recognize it.

Putin's attitude has made it clear that Russia will stand firmly with Somalia on the many issues facing Somalia.

Li Lan naturally thanked Putin for his statement, and he also said that on the issue of Ukraine, Somalia will continue to be firm with Russia, and Somalia is willing to continue to face all difficulties together with Russia in response to the sanctions imposed by Western countries on Russia.

The statement on such an occasion is definitely not a political show, but a direct political signal, which will not change.

Subsequently, the two sides reached a number of important military cooperation and cooperation in the economic and computer high-tech fields in what can be called in full view of the public, and continued to broaden the development space of the two countries.

After the two-hour meeting, the two sides also held private and secret talks, which is not known to the outside world, but from the public statements of the two sides, it is enough to explain the relationship between the two countries at this moment.

Although there are still problems between the two sides in some places, the overall attitude has not changed.

At the same time, at the Ukrainian peace talks held in Belarus, after several rounds of negotiations, the two sides did not achieve very good results. At the same time, armed conflicts have once again erupted in various regions of Ukraine, leading to the assassination of many high-ranking members of the Ukrainian government, and some of the leaders of the civilian armed forces in the east have also died as a result of assassinations.

These multiple assassinations have also caused a huge rift in this peace negotiation, which made it impossible for the United States to continue for a short time by means of compromise with the Ukraine incident.

On the same day as Li Lan's visit, Russia's energy department officially cut off natural gas supplies to nearly half of Europe's countries, and Europe, which was in winter, instantly became extremely cold.

In the Kremlin, Li Lan and Putin sat opposite each other.

Before this secret meeting began, Li Lan first took out a small USB flash drive, handed it to Putin, and said: "This is the last part of the drawings of the latest aircraft carrier designed by our senior aircraft carrier design engineers for the Russian Navy. ”

After taking the small USB flash drive, Putin had a little more smile on his face, but he didn't verify it, because Li Lan absolutely couldn't lie to him, and said: "Happy cooperation." ”

Li Lan nodded slightly, in fact, from the very beginning, he made a deal with Russia, and the Russian side spent 20 million Somali shillings to buy a design drawing of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier from Somalia, and the indicators of the drawings were completely in accordance with the requirements of the Russians, which was equivalent to a redesign of an aircraft carrier.

For an aircraft carrier, the value of the design drawings is far more than 20 million Somali shillings more than ten times, and the reason why designing an aircraft carrier for Russia is to consolidate the relationship between the two sides.

However, the drawings of the aircraft carrier are not delivered at one time, because the design of an aircraft carrier is complex, and the power system and wiring are unimaginable to normal people.

Therefore, the aircraft carrier drawings are divided into multiple parts and submitted in turn, however, for Russia, which has more or less experience in aircraft carriers, the significance of this drawing is for reference, they will not really build the aircraft carrier according to this drawing, but combine this drawing to verify the design results of their aircraft carrier engineers.

Combine the aircraft carrier design drawings of both sides, absorb the successful aircraft carrier experience of Somalia, and complete a domestic aircraft carrier that truly belongs to Russia. So, this cheap order, that's what happened.

In fact, the Russians are also very helpless, it is Ukraine that inherits the Soviet aircraft carrier technology, and Russia only inherits the Soviet Union's nuclear submarine technology, although Russia has a Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, and also with the help of the modified Indian Vikramaditya, a group of workers have been trained, but it is really not enough to start building a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of more than 80,000 tons at once.

First of all, the overall aircraft carrier design drawings, the placement of nuclear power units, and the rational layout of catapults, these Russians have no experience, so they can only turn to Somalia for help.

This is also the fundamental reason why the two sides were able to reach this deal, otherwise according to Li Lan's urine nature, if the Russians don't buy one, he will not be able to sell the drawings at all. Not to mention the redesign of an aircraft carrier.

As for the sudden assassination in Ukraine, it was Li Lan who temporarily cut off the possibility of NATO countries quickly ending the incident in Ukraine.

However, this is not too bad for the Russian side, because the Somali attack on Yemen and the successive dispatch of troops to Kenya have greatly eased their pressure, and at this time Russia also hopes that Somalia will maintain this behavior of attracting firepower, so that Russia can reduce some pressure.

In Putin's words, it would be more reliable to continue to strengthen cooperation with Somalia rather than trust the sincerity of Western countries. (To be continued......)
