Three days later, under the work of the Chinese government, Li Lan sent out nearly 800 military trucks in one go.

Eight hundred trucks, divided into three waves, were escorted by soldiers to the Somaliland border, where they were taken over by Chinese government officials and headed straight for the port of Berbera.

In order to gather this truck, the trucks in the entire territory were evacuated, and in the past three days, Li Lan also produced a large number of trucks, otherwise he would not have been able to get them together.

China brought him 100,000 tons of grain, which is currently being transported by 10,000 tons of cargo ships in the port of Berbera.

After going ashore and unloading, the problem of grain transportation is what Li Lan needs to solve.

In the past, I was worried because I didn't have food, but now I have to worry about bringing food back. Fortunately, he only needs to be responsible for dispatching vehicles, and the Chinese government has already helped him solve other problems.

This batch of grain arrived in Berbera in the name of disaster relief, and the Somaliland government was embarrassed to charge too many tariffs, and the Chinese government also sent a lot of grain to Somaliland to help Somaliland relieve the pressure on domestic food.

The grain sent to Somaliland was not counted in Li Lan's gifts, and 100,000 tons of grain was not bad at all.

However, Li Lan is also a little worried about the safety of this batch of grain, after all, it is only a few dozen kilometers from the territory to the border of Somaliland, and after entering the territory of Somaliland, Berbera still needs to walk more than 100 kilometers to reach Berbera.

Although at the speed of a truck, it is only a trip of two or three hours, but this is not a small amount after all. Even though the security in Somaliland is countless times better than in Puntland, Li Lan is still unwilling to take risks. Of course. He was also worried about seeing so much food. Will the Somaliland government take advantage of the fire?

For the sake of safety, Li Lan specially sent his only tank battalion and two infantry battalions to the border between Somaliland and Puntland.

Even if the tank battalion goes to Berbera, it will only take two hours. The camp only takes a little more than an hour to arrive.

With 100,000 tons of grain, can Li Lan not care? That's not a small amount. Enough to meet the consumption of 300,000 people for nearly a year. According to international food prices, this batch of grain is worth 70 million US dollars.

As long as these grains can be delivered at one time, then Li Lan will not need to worry about food matters for at least three hundred days. And that's when the number of refugees in the territory reached 300,000.

As for the 300,000 tons of grain mentioned later, Li Lan also understood that the second batch of grain would not arrive soon. He will not even be able to get this grain until he has a port. After all, 300,000 tons of grain is not 30 tons, and you will be given what you say.

He doesn't show a little strength. I am afraid that the Chinese government will also have to consider whether such a payment is worth it. Therefore, after Zeng Zhihua said the quantity of the second batch of grain, Li Lan did not ask when this batch of grain could be delivered. Everything is tacitly understood.

Li Lan was very moved by the Chinese government's need to support agricultural science and technology talents. However, he did not immediately agree, but proposed. From here, students were sent to mainland China for further study. This is also a fulfillment of Farah's long-standing pursuit.

On the same day, Li Lan called Farah and asked him to organize all the scholars under him. Join these convoys of food deliveries to Berbera and travel to Berbera. Falah, who was so excited about this, sent more than 500 Somali university students in two days. They followed the convoy to Berbera, and under Zeng Zhihua's arrangement, they all got their passports and admission notices, and were ready to return to China with Zeng Zhihua. The food and talent matter is temporarily implemented, which also makes Farah, whose heart has been hanging, finally settle down, and his face is always full of smiles. is also grateful to Li Lan.

On the day of the convoy's departure, when Zeng Zhihua left, the rest of the medical team continued to stay here to help the local doctors provide medical assistance to the refugees.

During the three days, the two often sat together and talked. In order to let the domestic bigwigs understand themselves better and convey their ideas, Li Lan also specially took Zeng Zhihua to his arsenal.

Because he knows very well that although the Type 97 is a foreign trade type, there are only a few countries that export it, and if the source of the gun is not clearly explained, it will always make the Chinese government have some ideas.

However, Li Lan did not explain very much, only to produce a large number of main rifles of other countries, and to build a multinational brand arsenal, the 97-type and Shijie weapons of many countries are placed together.

Therefore, when Zeng Zhihua saw that in the entire arsenal, the weapons of Shijie's mainstream countries were all put together. When he saw the whole box: M16, M4A1, Steyr AUG, Belgian FN, French FAMAS, German G36、......, Type 97 were just one of many weapons, and he never bothered about weapons again.

Coupled with Li Lan telling him that the soldiers like to use the Ninety-Seven Style, and he himself likes it, Zeng Zhihua has nothing to say.

It is not surprising that there are so many Shijie weapons from various countries, and there is a Chinese one in it. When Zeng Zhihua was leaving, Li Lan also sent him a box of each weapon to take back to China.

And just when Zeng Zhihua left, Song Yuqiang, who was completely dismissed from his position, was also taken away, and after returning to China, he was greeted by a long-term closed-door thought.

Because when he was dragged out of the territory by Li Lan's soldiers, he was unwilling to secretly send a telegram to Beijing to expose Li Lan's attitude, and he thought that he could use the state to punish Li Lan well and vent his hatred, but he never expected that he would be greeted by a direct telegram from the central government to dismiss him.

When Zeng Zhihua reported his behavior to the headquarters of the Security Bureau, the Security Bureau simply told him to go home and think about it permanently and made a decision never to hire him.

Li Lan originally wanted this guy to stay in Somalia forever, but under Zeng Zhihua's persuasion, he took out a notice from the Security Bureau that he would never be hired. Only then did he promise to let him go.

In the next stage, as long as the food is in place. The entire base will enter a blowout development stage.

As long as this stage can be passed, then Li Lan can be said to have a firm foothold in Somalia.

Convoys of grain transports. Set off in the morning, and by dusk, the first batch of 40,000 tons of grain had returned to the base. The remaining two batches will also be back tomorrow morning and tomorrow afternoon.

When the time comes, Li Lan will be able to develop with great peace of mind, and he will not be afraid of any matter how much the government forces in Bossaso make things difficult for him.

So, the next day, after all the grain was shipped back. Li Lan began to concentrate on the development of the military again.

The Somaliland government did not intercept the nominal relief food, nor did it make it difficult for the food to be delivered. The main reason is that China has also donated 20,000 tons of grain to Somaliland in the name of rescuing the victims.

And after the food was in place, the tank battalion and two infantry battalions near the border returned to the territory by night.

In order to expand his influence, Li Lan began to let Farah publicize the righteous deeds of the territory in Bossaso, many refugee camps in Bossaso. People began to leave Bossaso and head to the territory.

The construction of the territory has not stopped for a moment, and in the past few days, more and more refugees want to join the territory every day. In addition to wanting to make room for the newly arrived refugees, they are also grateful for the kindness of the territory and are willing to stay.

Before, the number of people joining each day was only a few thousand. In recent days, the number of people who have joined each day. It has reached the scale of tens of thousands. And this momentum continues to increase, and many tribes are migrating as a whole. There is also a lot of relocation from villages.

On the way from the territory to Bossaso, those small villages have been basically abandoned, and under a large number of propaganda campaigns, the inhabitants of the territory have begun to grow explosively.

Mohammadi, who is specially arranged for the residents, although he is busy every day these days, is always full of smiles on his face, and his physical exhaustion brings relief to his soul.

On the other hand, Li Lan rarely goes out these days, and stays in the base car all the time. Don't look at him, he seems to be out of the door, but he is also very busy.

The twelfth high-tech drilling well has been built, and the refinery that follows it has been completed. Today, the territory's techno-drilling wells are capable of producing 2,000 tonnes of crude oil per day, and two refineries are working around the clock.

Two of the ten large storage bases under the two refineries have now been filled, and they are all filled with diesel, and all other petroleum derivatives have been fully stored.

In particular, the jet fuels refined through high boiling points were carefully stored by Li Lan's orders, and those will be the main fuel for the Air Force in the future.

Today, the 2,000-ton daily refining capacity can produce 1,800 tons of fuel oil per day for Li Lan, including aviation fuel, gasoline, diesel, fuel oil, and kerosene.

Gasoline: is the most consumed variety. The boiling point range (also known as distillation range) of gasoline is 30~205 °C, and the density is 0.70~0.78 g/cm3, and commercial gasoline is marked with an octane number of 70, 80, 90 or higher according to the advantages and disadvantages of the anti-knock combustion performance of the oil when burned in the cylinder. Gasoline is mainly used as fuel for automobiles, motorcycles, speedboats, helicopters, and agricultural and forestry aircraft.

Kerosene: The boiling point range is 180~310 °C, mainly for lighting, life cooking. The flame is required to be stable, bright and not emitting black smoke.

Diesel: There are two types of boiling point range: 180~370 °C and 350~410 °C. For petroleum and its processed products, it is customary to call the boiling point or boiling point range low light, and vice versa to become heavy. Therefore, the former is called light diesel oil, and the latter is called heavy diesel oil. Commercial diesel is graded according to the freezing point, such as 10, -20, etc., indicating low service temperature, and diesel is widely used in large vehicles and ships.

Fuel oil: used as fuel for boilers, ships and industrial furnaces.

The refining products of the science and technology refinery are not only these, but also many other petroleum derivatives, such as: petroleum solvents, petroleum paste, petroleum asphalt, petroleum solvents, paraffin oil, lubricating oil, grease.

These petroleum derivatives have played a vital role in the development of the territory. (To be continued......)
