PS: Regarding the problem of too much information, this question has actually consulted many book friends in the morning, and they all agree that it should be placed in the text, so that it looks coherent.

In Somalia, many people actually just know that there are pirates, what about others! In fact, Hua Hua didn't know much, and only found very few materials in the library. More information is still seen from the Internet, in order to let everyone see a more real Somalia, so the text will be interspersed with some information. If you have a book friend who has been to Somalia in person, you can come and talk to me in person, or if there is any mistake, please point it out, and Huali will correct it as soon as possible.

———————— the following text————————

The west of the city is the only way for Li Lan and them to return to the base, and the hotel is located in the port of Bossaso, no matter whether Li Lan goes or not, there is no way for their group of people to avoid each other and go back.

Li Lan didn't feel reckless about this decision, because he didn't want to back down anymore. is destined to embark on the road of striving for hegemony, and he has no way back. Because he was afraid of this retreat, he would lose the courage to face more difficulties.

This choice is also a test of Li Lan's courage for himself, and he is determined to get out of his life of 20 years of inaction. He believes that as long as he can bravely face the next challenges, then he can truly get rid of the shadow of the past.

The decision has been made, but Li Lan still needs to prepare.

It's one thing to have the courage to face it, but it's another thing to be completely prepared.

With Ahmed's help, Li Lan put on body armor and put on a suit over it. Even though it was hot here, Li Lan had to endure it.

"Mohammadi, you stay at the hotel and wait for us to come back. If we don't come back by tomorrow, you'll be left alone. After straightening his clothes, Li Lan opened his mouth and said to Muhammadi, who had been silent.

"This ......," Muhammadi seemed to have some planning, and after hearing Li Lan's words, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "I'll go with you." ”

“haha！” Li Lan smiled, raised his legs and walked outside, the general and Ahmet followed closely behind Li Lan.

At this time, the 30 mobilized soldiers who were on guard outside were already fully armed, waiting for Li Lan and the others to get into the car before setting off.

After walking out of the hotel, Li Lan did not hesitate at all and got into the off-road vehicle directly. After everyone got into the car, the convoy slowly left the hotel.

Upstairs in the hotel, looking at the distant convoy, Farah was a little distracted. After a long time, he sighed with emotion: "They are all real soldiers, and they are definitely not what ordinary people can have, and Rava is going to be planted." I hope you're not the devil who came to Somalia to suck the blood of Somalis. ”

Li Lan did not know what Farah was thinking, because from the moment he got into the car, he had been listening to Muhammadi introduce him to the basic situation of Rawa.

Mohammudi said: "The west of the city we are going to is fifteen kilometers away from the hotel, and that area is on the outskirts of Bossaso, because further west is the Bossaso airport, so there is a little bit of oil and water. Rava had been a pirate for a few years, amassed a little wealth, bought a lot of weapons, and gathered a group of armed liliang in the chaotic west of the city. Through continuous integration, the west of Bossaso is basically his territory. The Bossaso government forces were also not interested in fighting him for control because of the camp that dotted the area, and let him develop.

He generally relies on extortion to obtain finances, and he will not let go unless there is nothing of value on the refugees. For us herdsmen, he only collects a certain amount of tolls every year, and does not make things difficult for us at other times. ”

"It's like wool grows on a sheep. A little bit of collection can be a long stream. Li Lan said.

"yes!" Mohammadi nodded, a little helpless, and continued: "The current Bossaso is much better than before, a few years ago, it was basically no different from Mogadishu now, and it was common for foreigners to die every day. Many of them ended up because they refused to pay protection money. Now those people don't dare to be so rampant, and although they often die, they rarely attack foreigners. ”

"Those foreigners who were killed before, didn't those countries react?"

"How can there be no reaction, but who can find the murderer? Zuihou is usually just a random substitute for the dead ghost, and the real murderer can't be found at all. Muhammadi said: "And this Rava is the least of the common sense, if we refuse his request, he will not do anything to us in his territory, but he will always cause us trouble, and once he is out of his shili range, it will not be necessarily." It could be a bullet from nowhere, or a suicide bomb, or a rocket, but Rava would have dared to do anything. So we have to be extra careful on this trip. ”

"Well, I don't want to die here, and there won't be anyone to collect the body." Li Lan nodded.

Fifteen kilometers away, soon over.

As the convoy entered the west of the city, it was guided by a modified armed pickup truck, which soon came to an Islamic building, represented by a circular tower in the middle of the house, resembling a date palm tree. Date palms have once been distinguished by their message delivery. In the early days of Islam, the summit of the date palm tree served both as a high point to call for worship by Muslim brothers and as a watchtower to observe the infidels launching attacks.

In the open space in front of the building, many vehicles were parked, most of them old pickup trucks, and in the back of the pickup trucks, nearly half of them were equipped with heavy machine guns. There were also a number of armed men armed with old AK-47s standing here and there.

The convoy of Li Lan and others stopped in front of the building, and only after all the soldiers had got out of the car did Li Lan get out of the car door.

Before Li Lan could see the surrounding situation clearly, a Somali Daxiao walked over and said in not very fluent English: "Mr. Li!" Let me introduce myself first, my name is Rava and I am the de facto owner of this area. I also have a good presence in Bossaso, and I am sure that with my help, you will be absolutely safe in Bossaso. ”

It came very directly, there was no invitation to the door, and there was no politeness.

Since the other party was direct, Li Lan did not beat around the bush and replied: "I believe that you are very powerful, and you will know what my name is before we meet." ”

"Haha, in Bossaso, I want to know something, it's just a matter of minutes." Rava did not have the slightest modesty, and took great pains to accept Li Lan's "praise".

"Then you, who have great powers, can you tell me what you invited me to come here for? It was getting dark, and I thought I couldn't stay any longer. Li Lan also put on an attitude of not inking.

"I like to be direct, let's put it this way! You know that we Somalis are very poor, and when we are in desperate situations, we will always do some irrational things, and I am here to help Mr. Li and drive out those irrational people. Price! It's fair, 100,000 dollars. "Rawa Dao.

"You see, I already have a protected Liliang by my side, and I believe that my safety is already sufficient." 100,000 US dollars, not to mention that Li Lan can't take it out, even if he can, he won't give it, because through a simple conversation, Rava has an attitude of being the eldest and my second child, which has made Li Lan very unhappy.

"Trust me! Young man, when you get out of here, the price of the second negotiation will not be 100,000 US dollars, but 1 million. One hundred thousand, one million, you choose. Rava still looked smiling, not angry. However, armed men around the area have begun to gather.

And the mobilized soldiers on Li Lan's side also opened the AK-47 insurance and surrounded Li Lan.

"What if I don't give both?" Since the decision was made here, Li Lan has never thought of compromise, he will not compromise before, and he will not do it now.

"Haha, since you don't give it, then don't force it, trust me! And then there's a million. Rava Haha smiled, still with no anger on his face, stared at the armed men who protected Li Lan in the middle, and then waved his hand to the armed personnel around him, and said, "Spread out, don't scare our friends." ”

"In that case, can we go?" Li Lan glanced at the surrounding situation and said calmly.

"You can go at any time, you can stay here." Rawa Road.

"Don't bother, let's go." After Li Lan finished speaking, she sat back in the off-road vehicle.

The others also got on the bus in turn, and the convoy began to leave less than five minutes after arriving here.

Looking at the departing convoy, the smile on Rava gradually disappeared, and he casually beckoned an armed person and said, "Check for me immediately, which Shili armed people these people are, it doesn't look simple." Also, tell it to go down, as it is before. ”

Rava had to wonder because he found that the armed men brought by Li Lan did not follow the rules, and they were all fresh faces. In the past, these armed men hired to protect would remain neutral, but now it is a little difficult for him.

However, despite this, he still did not give up, in his eyes, it is rare to meet such a fat sheep a few times a year, and he will not be slaughtered in vain.
