-- The following text--

Djibouti, a country with a population of less than a million, was once a country that split from Somalia and was strategically crucial.

Hold the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea.

However, this place is not so important for NATO and Somalia, because Djibouti is already surrounded by Somalia, although the country is still a friend of France and NATO, and there are thousands of NATO troops stationed in Djibouti.

Among them, the 2,000-strong Green Berets of the US Army Special Forces are stationed in Djibouti in full armor, making them the closest unit to the administrative and national center of Somalia.

France also has an under-established armored division in Djibouti, with more than 100 Leclercs and dozens of helicopter gunships, and Djibouti, the capital of France, Japan, the United States, Italy, and other countries, all have military ports.

Djibouti, if it is used well, it is possible to become a saber for the NATO coalition forces, but if it cannot be used in time, the NATO coalition forces in Djibouti will be dumplings in an instant.

NATO is like holding a burning baby, and it is not to put it, and it is not to let it go.

But as far as Somalia is concerned, Djibouti was still separated from Somalia because of the war after all, and strictly speaking, it is a member of Somalia in terms of national history and nation.

For a long time, due to NATO relations, Li Lan did not really take action against Djibouti. With Djibouti, Somalia can completely control the line from the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea. A large area of strategic sea area has been formed.

On the other side are Yemen and Saudi Arabia, which now have good relations with Somalia. Once war breaks out, Li Lan will naturally clean up all NATO bases in Africa and the Middle East as soon as possible.

As far as strategy is concerned, NATO cannot abandon these military bases, and as long as these bases exist, NATO can also use military bases to set fire everywhere and contain Somali forces.

However, the soldiers in these bases will have no way out. Because all the military bases are already under the control of Somalia, Li Lan can mobilize heavy troops to kill these military bases at any time.

In Sudan, Ethiopia, North Africa and South Africa, tens of thousands of NATO troops, once the war begins, will be surrounded by heavy troops and will be attacked with the heaviest attacks.

It's like the NATO forces in Djibouti are all treasures that NATO is reluctant to throw away.

Li Lan didn't have any thoughts about this. At the beginning of the war, these NATO military bases were cleaned up as soon as possible, and then they concentrated on dealing with the main forces of NATO.

The African Union summit came to an end, and as Li Lan expected, those countries in North Africa that were strictly controlled by NATO. None of them joined the Federation of Africa, but all the North African countries on the North Atlantic coast.

All of Africa. Djibouti was one of only six countries left without joining the African Federation.

Li Lan immediately announced. The African Federation was formally formed, and the various administrative bodies were established one by one in accordance with the Constitution.

At the same time. In the presidential palace of Djibouti City, the capital of Djibouti, President Maor, who had just returned to China, was pacing back and forth in his office with an uneasy look.

Beside him, several staff members were nervously discussing something, and their faces were not very good.

Outside the presidential palace, tens of thousands of Djiboutians were gathering at the gate of the presidential palace to demonstrate, and banners demanding Djibouti's accession to the African Federation and its integration into the Somali Federation were everywhere.

The same protests have erupted in various regions of Djibouti, demanding that the Djibouti government stop cooperating with NATO, return to the real state and national system, and no longer be maverick.

This was definitely not specially instigated by Li Lan, but was spontaneously organized by a large number of Djiboutians.

Djibouti was once the envy of all Somalis, and now Djibouti is even more envious of the Somali Federation.

Whether it is the huge economic growth rate that far surpasses Djibouti, or the comprehensive surpassing in education, science and technology, medical care and other aspects, or the growing national influence of the Somali Federation, Djiboutians are extremely hopeful.

The per capita income of the Somali Federation is now several times that of Djiboutians, and the living environment is not comparable to that of Djibouti.

Djibouti's repeated refusal to join the Somali Federation has aroused strong resentment from the Kuomintang each time.

Originally, the African Union polling team came to Djibouti to investigate, which gave many Djibouti hope, but the results of the survey have come out, and more than ninety percent of Djiboutians are willing to join the African Federation or the Somali Federation, but the government refuses again.

Although it is not known whether the African Federal Guard will take coercive measures, their hopes seem to have been dashed, which is definitely not acceptable to them.

Naturally, Maors was restless, and hundreds of thousands of citizens stopped all work and gathered in front of the government in various districts to demonstrate.

As president, he is naturally under a lot of pressure, and in the event of an uprising or conflict, an angry Djibouti may tie him to the gallows.

Djibouti, with only 10,000 troops and police, is unable to stop demonstrations of this magnitude.

He did not dare to ask for help from NATO troops, Djibouti is bordered by the Somali Federation on three sides, and tens of thousands of Somali federal troops on the border are eyeing each other, once NATO intervenes.

He didn't have to think about it at all, with the style of the Somali one, his good life would definitely come to an end.

But if he doesn't give an explanation to the people, then his good life will come to an end, so this is where the real difficulties lie.

He is also willing to join the Somali Federation, but he can't help himself, there are NATO people everywhere around him, and once he makes a move, his old life will be gone in an instant.

Just as he weighed it left and right, the door to his office was opened, and several people walked in.

"Mr. President, it looks like you're in big trouble!" The leading white man said to Omar.

"Mr. James, you've really pushed me to the forefront this time, if you don't give an explanation to the people outside. None of us can run. ”

Maor looked at the tall, thin white man in front of him, a pair of heavy glasses hanging from his hooked nose. Sunken eyes revealing a faint blue, spoke.

James walked over to Omar's side. patted him on the shoulder and said, "As friends, we came here to help you solve your problems at this time." ”

"What can you do?" Omar seemed to grasp the life-saving straw in an instant, and asked urgently.

"There is only one way, and that is to directly join NATO, and you announce it immediately, and then immediately use this to improve the treatment of the people and appease the people." James spoke.

"It's absolutely impossible, it doesn't take an hour for the Somali to hear the news. We're going to be occupied by the Somali army, and then we're really not going to survive. Omar shook his head, he thought there was something good to do, and he was disappointed.

"No, you don't have to worry about this at all, as long as you announce your accession to NATO, once Somalia proposes troops against Djibouti, then NATO will immediately enter the war." James assured.

"Still no, whether NATO enters the war or not. Djibouti is going to be finished, and I can't let my country become a battlefield. ”

Omar shook his head without hesitation, resounding that none of the countries that had been enemies of Somalia at the instigation of NATO had a good end. He didn't need to think about it at all, he just refused.

When James heard this, his face instantly became very stern. Warned: "Mr. President, even if you don't act. It will also become a battlefield, and NATO has already decided not to withdraw its troops. So whether you have made a choice or not are the same. ”

"In that case, if I had to choose, I would choose the Somali Federation, because I am an ethnic Somalia, and ninety percent of my people are Somalis, and I will not see cannibalism."

Hearing the other party's threatening words, Omar's mind was firm, and he said: "I have always liked the national policy of the Somali Federation, the family and the nation, it should be a family, and I will never do anything that kills each other." ”

"It's hard to imagine that there is still national integrity in people like you, but it's a pity that those who don't cooperate with NATO are enemies of NATO." A cold light flashed in James's eyes, and the next second, several people who came in with him immediately took out their pistols, and several of Omar's staff were all killed before they could react.

The guards heard the gunshots, and the people who opened the door and came in were also killed, and as soon as the gunshots rang out in the presidential palace, the short shootout was immediately over.

CIA agents immediately charged the presidential palace in Djibouti.

Omar's face instantly became extremely ugly, and he pointed at James and said, "Do you think that I will be at your mercy in this way?" Although I am afraid of death, I am definitely not a person who accepts threats casually. It's not terrible to die, and all of you will be buried with me when the time comes. ”

"We don't mean to kill you, you're not afraid of death, but what about your family? Your two sons, your three daughters, and your lovely granddaughter, what about these people? James said lightly.

"If you dare to hurt my family, I promise you won't be able to leave here." Omar's face changed, and he warned with a stubble.

"This threat is meaningless, and we are not afraid of death, so you better listen to us and immediately announce to the outside world that Djibouti has officially joined NATO." James didn't take the other party's threat in his eyes at all, and said lightly.

"Haha......" However, the next second Omar suddenly laughed, smiled very happily, and said: "Before I came back from Addis Ababa, I received a message from the Somali Federation, and he said that I would make a choice quickly. Originally, I thought he was talking about this demonstration, but now it seems that I understand something. ”

"Do you think I'd believe this kind of bluffing? Your every qiē is firmly controlled by us, where is the news. James shook his head, he thought it was a trick.

"You can believe it or not, I'm just waiting here." Omar suddenly calmed down, remembered the Somali one's abilities, and he walked to his office chair and sat down steadily.

"I don't have time for you to spend here, announce it to the public right away, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind to your family." There was a slight anger in James's eyes, and the other party's uncooperative appearance made him quite angry.

"We're old acquaintances, do you think it's necessary for me to lie at this time?" Omar spoke, recalling the message Li Lan sent to him, and he slowly calmed down.

A few hours ago. He was on his way back to Djibouti on a special plane in the lounge. A note was placed on the bed, and the person who signed it was Li Lan.

The note contained only one sentence: President Omar. It doesn't matter if you don't make a choice now, I'm sure you'll make your own choice soon. -- Li Lan.

Originally, he thought that this was Li Lan's words threatening him, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Because if Li Lan wanted to threaten him, there was no need to let him back, and it would not have dragged on for so long.

Obviously, Li Lan must have known something to let herself come back.

And from this sentence, Li Lan also revealed another meaning. You can make a choice, that is, you won't have an accident, and the Somali side will definitely take action.

"I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." James was impatient, took out a satellite computer from his pocket, and put it in front of Omar, the video call inside was connected, and the picture inside was Omar's home.

At this moment, six or seven of his family members had been gathered in the living room by five or six armed men, and the guards in the house were all dead. In the video, he clearly sees the fear on the faces of each family member.

This made Omar's heart tremble, he fully believed in the Somali one's plan, but when he saw that his family was threatened with death. He couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"From now on, every ten seconds you hesitate, I'm going to kill someone. It doesn't take a hundred seconds for your family to die. James warned again.

"I'm sure my family can understand me. I can't let millions of people suffer from the flames of war for their sake. Omar took a deep breath. Turning his head not to watch the video, he said in a slightly trembling voice.

"In that case, I want to see how hard-hearted you are." James smiled and then began to count the seconds: "Ten, nine......"

Listening to the reading of every second, Omar's heart also beat fiercely, his eyes flashed with a hint of struggle, and his heart was even more at war.

The cries and cries for help from his family in the video made him suffer every second.

James was expressionless and continued to spit out the seconds: "Three, two、......, it seems that you are really hard-hearted, then I am welcome." Killed the youngest girl. ”

When Omar heard this, his heart seemed to stop beating in an instant, and when he turned his head to face the computer screen, he saw an armed man who had already pointed his gun at the head of his little granddaughter.

Looking at the little granddaughter's pear-blossomed and rainy face, he slowly closed his moist eyes, and silently thought in his heart: Grandpa is sorry for you.

The next moment, the gunshots did not go out, but suddenly an explosion was heard in the video, and then several short gunshots rang out.

A burst of intense white light flashed on the screen, and when the sight regained again, the armed men who had been controlling Omar's family had all been shot in the head and fell to the ground.

Four heavily armed soldiers entered the hall and made up for the dead before rescuing Omar's granddaughter.

The sudden scene made Omar's mood fly from the bottom of the valley to the sky in an instant, and the tears disappeared, and he recovered.

And James's heart instantly fell to the bottom, and he was too familiar with the camouflage uniforms on the four people in the video, which was the standard uniform of the Somali Federal Guard special forces, and the equipment and weapons on his body were also the standard equipment of the Somali Federal Guard.

Then one of the soldiers made a throat-slitting motion at the position of the camera, and the next second, the video screen ended.

James instantly recalled Omar's words, which he thought were a deception.

Suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Omar by the collar, pulled out a pistol and put it on his head, and roared: "Bastard, you sue me, when did the Somali one give you news." ”

"Why should I sue you, now that my family is safe, and I have seen your faces, what do you think there is anything else to talk about between us." Omar said flatly.

"You guy, don't think I don't dare to kill you, sue you ......" Before James finished speaking, a voice suddenly appeared at the door of the office: "You have no chance." ”

James turned around for the first time, blocked Omar in front of him, and then hid his whole body behind Omar, revealing half of his eyes, looking at the comer.

At the door, a man of about 1.85 meters stood here at some point, wearing a decent suit, two pistols and arms hanging down on both sides of his hips, and his figure was even and looked very capable.

At this moment, the four CIA agents brought by James in the office had already pointed their pistols at the head of the person who came.

"Who are you?" James asked.

"It's rude, but I'm not in the habit of introducing myself to dead people." The person who came said lightly.

"Bastard, kill him." James gave the order as soon as possible.

However, the situation that shocked him appeared, the opponent's originally hanging hands were raised in an instant, and the four shots were fired almost simultaneously, and the four CIA agents didn't even have a chance to pull the trigger, and most of their heads were already lost in an instant.

It wasn't until his subordinates fell to the ground that James reacted, and continued to pull Omar, who was used as a shield, to retreat to the window, "Are you a human or a monster?" ”

"According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the fastest shot in the world is 0.0176 seconds to shoot two robbers in a row, hitting a melon 20 meters away. My record was 0.0121 seconds, four shots in a row, hitting four heads twenty meters away. The visitor walked into the office unhurriedly and spoke.

"You guy, die." Hearing this, James did not hesitate to pull the trigger of the pistol that was parked on Omar's head, and his body slammed into the window at the same time.

This qiē takes place between the electric light and flint. (To be continued......)
