PS: New day, ask for recommendation votes!

——————

A grand inauguration ceremony of Li Lan began and ended under the watchful eyes of all people.

As if to celebrate his pomp, the rainy season ended on the same day, and occasionally the sun shone on the podium, like a spotlight on the stage, presenting his upright figure in front of the eyes of the world.

His popularity has also reached a very high peak in Somalia, 86% of Somali families voted for Li Lan, proving their support for Li Lan with practical actions, not only the eight million Somalis who ruled at the beginning, but also those new Somalis, under all kinds of propaganda praising Li Lan's righteous deeds, he has become the leader of the Somalis with a support rate that exceeds the popular value.

Among the countries that have elected presidents in the world, Li Lan's support rate among the people has surpassed Putin's support rate in the Russian presidential election, with an 86 percent support ratio, making him quickly one of the most beloved presidents in the world. In the democratic electoral system of the whole world, the president who can get more than 50 percent approval can be counted on one hand.

86% is not only an extremely high number, but also proves to the world that the Somalis are united and that the Somalis have an attitude towards Li Lan.

However, at the end of the inauguration ceremony, when Li Lan officially assumed the position of the supreme leader of Somalia, the whole world was really not at peace.

Japan first apologized to Somalia and paid a fine of $5 million, and Japan's Kongo-class destroyer Myoko was officially picked up by Japan. On the day the Japanese warship departed from the port, tens of thousands of people came to the port to watch. There are countless photos to be taken for. For this reason, Japan did not even raise its national flag. Gray left.

Japan moves quickly, and other countries are not very slow. When China proposed to formally establish diplomatic relations with Somalia, they sent ambassadors to each other, so that the whole world was aware that on the day of the establishment of diplomatic relations, China's ambassador to Somalia had already arrived in Somalia and purchased a manor house in Bagua City that had been built, as well as the surrounding land as an embassy area.

From the establishment of diplomatic relations to the arrival of ambassadors, China has shown the whole world what speed is. After the announcement, it took less than ten minutes to settle in.

The Russian side is not slow at all, ranking behind China, and after announcing the successful establishment of diplomatic relations with each other, the Russian embassy was also put into use in Bagua City, and the location is next to the Chinese embassy.

This was followed by a large number of countries proposing to establish diplomatic relations with Somalia, including Iran, Pakistan, North Korea, South Africa, South Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Eritrea, Syria, ...... and all South American countries have established diplomatic relations with Somalia at the ambassadorial level. However, these countries are obviously not as well prepared as China and Russia, and many countries have not yet appointed ambassadors to Somalia. It was just that people were sent over to discuss the purchase of land for the use of the embassy.

More than 40 percent of the countries in the world have chosen to establish diplomatic relations with Somalia as soon as possible, and in addition to the countries of the NATO bloc and those countries that have deep cooperation with NATO countries, some countries are also on the sidelines.

The level of welcome in Somalia. While taking the whole world by surprise, in order to avoid Somalia from being too popular, the United States has also resorted to a whole set of combination punches.

First and foremost is the Arabian Peninsula. Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula seized the city of Zimjibar, the capital of Abyan province in southern Yemen, two years ago and declared it the capital of the "Islamic Emirate" established by Al-Qaida in southern Yemen. After the group occupied the city of Zinjibar. Almost all of Abyan governorate has been occupied by Al-Qaida. And has been in control until now.

Al-Qaeda's Arabian Peninsula branch was formed in early '09 by the merger of Al-Qaeda's Saudi Arabian and Yemeni branches, and subsequently launched a series of terrorist attacks, including the attempted bombing of a plane on Christmas in the United States in '09 and the parcel bomb incident on a flight to the United States in '10. Abyan province is one of the key strongholds of Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.

The United States has not been able to exterminate the base branch in this place. This time, in the name of exterminating this organization, the United States has sent a powerful amphibious combat force to Yemen. The 2nd Marine Division, originally stationed in Lejeune, North Carolina, was mobilized to Saudi Arabia to produce and wait for an opportunity to enter Yemen to eliminate the al-Qaeda branch.

And that's not all, the United States even signed a contract with Yemen that shocked the whole world, and the United States intends to lease the island of Socotra, which belongs to Yemen. The island is located outside the northeastern corner of Africa, directly opposite the Horn of Africa, and is only about 500 kilometers from Somali territory.

Since the era of sea navigation, this island has become the main place of contention in the whole world, and this island is the only island in the world that produces ambergris, and all kinds of precious spices and plants on it are unique in the world. At the same time, as a large island, it can also hold the eastern exit of the Gulf of Aden, and this island has always been the target of contention for military groups in the world. Since the Age of Discovery, the Dutch, Portuguese, and British have built military ports here, using it as an important material transit point. In modern times, the Soviet Union also built a military port on this island and stationed it for several years.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the island came under the jurisdiction of Yemen and became an overseas territory of Yemen.

The United States has its eyes on this island, officially because of its geographical location. Once sea and air supremacy is achieved in the Somali war, the United States can place its logistics and temporary airfields on this island. In terms of strategic layout, critical moments can play a great role.

If it is used as a forward offensive base, then the role of this island for the US military that needs to launch a landing operation along the eastern coast is also immeasurable. Of course, all this is after the United States controls the air and sea supremacy and electromagnetic supremacy of the war. Otherwise, the island is a living target.

The two-sided and two-sided style of this combination of punches in the United States, although it has been repeatedly emphasized, is not aimed at anyone. But the murderous intent contained in it can't hide from anyone at all. And even began to have countries. Urging citizens not to go to Somalia.

As the hegemon of the world, the United States made a move. Naturally, there can't be just two simple formulas. In the recent past, Japan has sent a large number of advanced warships to the Gulf of Aden in the name of rotation, mainly two helicopter destroyers, supplemented by four destroyers and two supply ships, and has already joined up with many warships of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in the Indian Ocean.

On the surface, Japan and the United States have simultaneously issued statements that Japan will be in the field of international counter-terrorism. Deepen cooperation with the United States. In addition, it is willing to send peacekeeping troops or Japanese warships to carry out escort missions abroad to support the US military's anti-terrorist military operations at any time. When necessary, Japan also promised the United States that it would send its Self-Defense Forces to participate in overseas anti-terrorist military missions and play a more important role in the cause of peace throughout the world.

In this statement, Japan even funded the expansion of the U.S. military's military port and airport in Kenya.

At the Manda Bay Naval Base in Kenya, the U.S. Naval Engineer Battalion is expanding the airstrip. The airport was originally built by the United States at a cost of $10 million, but the expansion was paid for by the Japanese, and once completed, it would allow large transport planes to take off and land in harsh weather conditions. Presently. 1,200 U.S. soldiers and expanded contractors have been stationed at the base.

The construction of the Manda Bay Naval Base is the tip of the iceberg of the United States' efforts to accelerate military deployment in Africa, and according to a recent report on the official website of the U.S. Africa Command, the command is vigorously supporting the logistics capacity building of African partner countries. Enhance their capacity to carry out counter-terrorism and peacekeeping missions.

Since U.S. President Barack Obama unveiled a new strategy for sub-Saharan Africa, U.S. Africa Command has introduced a series of supporting measures. It aims to strengthen its military presence in Africa. And today, this strengthened military strategy. But it has been completely represented, this originally simple airport, now the plan has tripled.

In addition, the US Army Command has decided to add two more brigade-level units in East Africa, and the arrival of these two brigade-level units will increase the number of US troops, which already have more than 3,000 troops in East Africa, to 8,000 in one fell swoop.

According to media reports in East African countries, the United States has long invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Ethiopia and Kenya, as well as in Djibouti, to equip and train the armies of the three countries to fight extremist militants. To date, the United States has helped train 200,000 soldiers in 25 African countries.

According to an article entitled "The Secret War of the United States in Africa" published in the French "Africa Weekly," the US military's efforts to strengthen its military strength in Africa are mainly to facilitate its efforts against Nigeria's "Boko Haram," the North African branch of the Al Qaeda organization, and the "Holy Spirit Resistance Army" in Uganda. There is no such thing as a fact against a third country.

However, in the face of the large-scale deployment of troops by the United States, African public opinion has many doubts about the above statement: Where is the bottom line for the United States to speed up its military deployment in Africa, is it maintaining peace or creating war? Does Africa need such a military presence?

South Africa's "Daily News" believes that the United States is playing a dangerous game: On the one hand, the United States is deliberately exaggerating the terrorist danger in Africa and expanding and aggravating Africa's own problems. Most extremist groups in Africa have only local demands, no global goals, and do not pose a direct threat to US interests, and the US is increasing its influence on Africa in the name of counter-terrorism. On the other hand, the United States' counter-terrorism has affected humanitarian assistance and peace-building in African countries, and remittances from the United States have declined in many African countries.

The African Leaders website believes that the United States' counter-terrorism in Africa is a very sensitive topic for African countries, and they are afraid that the United States will stay in Africa in the name of counterterrorism and strengthen its military presence.

Many African media and websites have also conducted a lot of analysis of the United States' military buildup in Africa, saying that the United States' move has a threefold purpose: it is not only used for counterterrorism and peacekeeping, but also for intervening in civil wars and regional conflicts in African countries. In the past, the United States fought terrorism in Africa mainly around the origin of natural resources and transportation routes, ensuring the monopoly and priority of the United States. However, while the United States has strengthened the military capabilities of some countries in Central Africa, it has also given these countries the ability to intervene militarily in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which has exacerbated the conflict in eastern the DRC and endangered the security of the Great Lakes region of Africa. In addition, the United States has increased the military strength of African countries at the expense of democratic political interests, which runs counter to the so-called democratic principles that the United States flaunts.

The third point is that anyone with a discerning eye can see that a series of US military moves are pointing directly to an indisputable fact, that is, Somalia has been surrounded by US troops.

In the Indian Ocean, the United States has sent the USS Bush nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the USS Roosevelt, and the USS Lincoln of the Fifth Fleet to form a three-carrier battle group. Many of the ships of the Atlantic Fleet also tend to converge towards the Mediterranean, and most notably, three other American aircraft carriers have appeared in the Atlantic, one of which has entered the Mediterranean, another is cruising in Gibraltar, and one is wandering around the United Kingdom.

On the land side, the U.S. troops stationed in Kenya and Ethiopia have also completed the encirclement of Somalia. In Djibouti in the north, French and Italian armies are also secretly increasing. French nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and Italian aircraft carriers also came to the Gulf of Aden to complete the convergence with the escort fleets of the two countries in the Gulf of Aden. France and Italy, for their part, have also formed an amphibious combat fleet consisting of four amphibious assault ships, which can enter the Red Sea at any time through the Suez Canal.

The amphibious strike group of the US military, a large number of amphibious warships originally stationed in East Asia, also gradually left their original stations, and they disappeared with the two marine regiments of the 1st Marine Division of the US Army stationed in Japan.

After this set of combination punches was used one after another, the Americans seemed to suddenly feel that the lethality was somewhat insufficient, and they also made great efforts to build momentum and put a buff on the military deployment and mobilization.

First of all, the United States has come up with a lot of "evidence" that in East African countries, the activities of terrorist forces are becoming more and more active. Soon after, a regime in exile claiming to be the former titular government of Somalia appealed to the world community in Kenya for international support to help it recover.

On the United Nations side, the former Somali ambassador to the United Nations also walked with the government-in-exile and ran among the representatives of the United Nations, hoping to get the support of other countries in the world.

The United States, Italy, France, and Japan have also stepped in at the right time to recognize this government-in-exile as the real government of Somalia and the real legitimate government of Somalia recognized by the United Nations. It will also uphold all the rights of the government-in-exile and crack down on those who deliberately overthrow the legitimate government and rebel against it.

Prior to this, all the media and newspapers in the United States were also trying their best to belittle Li Lan's Somali government, and all kinds of slanderous remarks and negative news were constantly appearing on social media, radio channels, newspapers, and forums in the United States.

Public opinion and military go hand in hand, and the United States has already begun to make moves. (To be continued......)
