Chapter 30: Flickering

Li Lan, who had selected the completion of the construction, did not stay in the console for long, and after briefly communicating with the assistant, he returned to his room on the third floor, cleaned it well, and changed into a refreshing clothes.

He then returned to the lobby on the first floor.

At this time, Mohammadi was still sitting quietly on the sofa, looking down and thinking about something.

Li Lan did not disturb him silently, but poured himself a glass of boiling water and also poured a cup for Muhammadi.

However, when Li Lan put the cup of boiling water in front of Muhammadi, Muhammadi was interrupted by his presence.

"It's boring to sit here alone, or I'll go out for a walk with you. Although the construction of the base has not yet been completed, the basic facilities have been completed and it is still worth seeing. Li Lan smiled.

Muhammadi, who was still immersed in what Li Lan had just said to him, nodded quietly.

Li Lan did not say anything to Muhammadi's silence and took the lead and walked out, while Muhammadi also got up to follow.

Li Lan, who had just walked out of the gate of the base wall, began to introduce Mohammadi: "At present, the base occupies an area of 48 square kilometers, that is, the area within the wall, which is enough for us to develop for a long time. The outer wall gate is not far from the road, and two kilometers to the north is the sea. ”

When talking about us, Li Lan specially strengthened his tone, but seeing Muhammadi who still had a calm face, Li Lan was not discouraged, and continued to introduce: "There are not many types of facilities in the base, in addition to the power plant and the barracks, there are two arsenals. At the moment, the arsenal can produce some simple individual weapons. AK-47s and bullets like the ones I took out were all from the arsenal. ”

Very general introduction, because Muhammadi has not yet made up his mind to join, like the ore refining factory he did not say, and the tank factory is only said to be an arsenal.

"That's ...... power plant. This is the ...... the Arsenal. This is the barracks ....... ”

The two walked slowly on the open ground, and along the way, Li Lan introduced him to the buildings within the walls one by one.

"The current defense of the base is okay, these dogs, each of them is a qualified military dog that has been rigorously trained, and they don't need to be supervised at all, and they can also maintain a certain degree of discipline." After introducing the construction unit, Li Lan pointed to the military dogs that could be seen everywhere and said to Muhammadi.

At this point, they came to the corner of a fence where five engineers were breaking through it. Seeing Li Lan's arrival, these engineers just saluted Li Lan with a military salute, and then began their work at hand.

"Because the walls were built in one piece, there are some areas that need to be rectified. These people are one of the construction teams under my command, and each of them is a qualified engineer. Li Lan pointed to the busy engineer and said.

This time, Muhammadi finally reacted, and when he noticed that the engineers were also black-skinned, he couldn't help but ask: "What country are they from?" ”

"Every single one of my men is Somalis. To put it simply, in the entire base interior, everyone except me is of authentic Somali descent. Seeing Muhammadi, who finally reacted, Li Lan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He took Mohammadi out for a walk, nothing more than not wanting to look for another Somalis. Of course, he can also use the cyborgs produced in the base as his spokesperson, so that he doesn't need to worry about safety, reliability, and loyalty.

But in this way, it will be difficult for him to truly integrate into the Somalis, and in his opinion, getting the cyborg and the real Somalis together is the right way to go. In the future, he needs more Somalis to help him. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have had to put so much thought into it.

However, there is one thing, all soldiers must be cyborgs, and the army must also be controlled by cyborgs. Li Lan will never change this.

"Weishenme has to work so hard, I believe it is not easy to train them, Weishenme doesn't directly use your country's talents?" Muhammadi couldn't help but ask.

Seeing that Mohammudi's mood began to change in the place he wanted, the corners of Li Lan's mouth curled, and he said with a sincere face: "Because I don't want the Somali people to misunderstand me, I am here to save the Somalis, not to rob your homeland." What would Somalis think if all my men were Chinese? At that time, neither international public opinion nor Somalis will agree to a Chinese-led Somalia. Let me ask you a question, what does it mean to really save Somalia? ”

If he had not yet come into contact with Li Lan, then Muhammadi would not hesitate to answer this question: powerful military science and technology and agricultural technology. Although he still believed in this answer, he did not know how to answer it for a while. One can only say: "Somalia needs too much." ”

"Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and science and technology originate from people's knowledge and creation. What is the most important thing nowadays is naturally talent. In my opinion, even if Somalia has a million troops, it is better to have a thousand contributing scientists. Of course, a combination of the two is the right way to go. When Li Lan said this, he pointed his finger at the busy engineers again, and said:

"The beautiful life is never a gift from God, but a creation of the efforts of the needy. Therefore, I spare no effort to cultivate Somalis, just to let Somalis use their own hands to create a Somali country that belongs to the Somalis. I can tell you very clearly that they are only a minority, and that many Somalis will join in the future. Each of them has joined my team with a vision for the future and is striving to create a strong country of their own. ”

Li Lan didn't blush when he said these words, although it was a very shameless thing, he still said it with peace of mind. It's not that his face is thick, it's not that he's undisciplined, it's that the base is always a secret that can't be told, and he has no other choice.

"Any initiative to pay is to be linked to the income. Can you tell us what your purpose is? You know, spending so much thought, the picture must be not small. Li Lan's words really spoke to Muhammadi's heart, but he still had a very important question, that is, what purpose did Li Lan have?

"I said my purpose was to help you, can you believe it?" To be honest, apart from using Somalia to realize his ideals, Li Lan really has no malicious purpose towards the Somalis. He wants to build a strong Somalia, and that's the purpose. He and the Somalis are completely reciprocal and do not have any bad thoughts about Somalia, which of course does not include the fact that Somalia must be secretly controlled by him.

In his view, his purpose is a good thing for the Somalis to fall from the sky. Without his help, let alone a complete Somalia, a strong Somalia, I am afraid that hunger and disease will remain the nightmare of Somalis for a long time to come.

Therefore, it is better to say that Li Lan's purpose is not pure, and it is better to say that the Somalis have benefited more. Because what Li Lan gets is what he deserves in return, and Somalis don't need to pay anything to improve everything now. Who is more beneficial, you can see it at a glance.

Muhammadi did not answer Li Lan's answer.

"If there is a country where Somalia no longer has to worry about hunger, where the refugee camps can become Somali history, where all Somalis can truly feel happy. No matter how big my purpose is, is there a greater benefit than that of the Somalis? Li Lan was not in a hurry, and continued: "Do you know? I am an orphan, I have experienced the warmth and coldness of the world since I was a child, before I entered the orphanage, I grabbed food with wild dogs and mice, and wandered the garbage heap every day to pick up what I needed. So, I really want to help you, and it's the kind of help that isn't political, because I don't work for any organization. ”

"I sympathize with your childhood. But my friend, you weishenme choose me. Mohammadi's tone had recovered a lot, and he was once again talking about his friend.

"Didn't you already answer for me? We are friends, of course, as long as you are sincere and I am friends, there is no need for weishenme. Li Lan nodded with satisfaction.

"Huh! It's friends to us. Muhammadi smiled, a smile on his face again. Regardless of whether what Li Lan said was true or not, and whether the goodwill he showed was a disguise or not, he had already chosen to believe the Chinese friend in front of him. Perhaps this trust, and the powerful Somalia that Li Lan portrayed to him, was driving it, but it didn't matter.

"My friend, if there is anything you need me in the future, please say it directly, I promise that there will be absolutely no second words." Muhammadi, who had put aside all his concerns, patted his chest and said.

He has already made up his mind, even if Li Lan deceives him, he will not regret today's decision, as long as the current situation in Somalia can be fundamentally improved, even if he becomes a traitor, he will have no regrets.

"Take my words to me, you will never regret it, and you will be the Somali people's first messenger, Mohammed, the Somali hero." Li Lan was very happy about Mohammadi's assurance.
