Chapter 818: Lobbyist
In the Starbucks café on First Avenue across from the United Nations headquarters, Li Lan, who walked out of the United Nations General Assembly, walked into the café accompanied by a number of guards.
At this moment, the café is open at the same time, and there are not many customers inside, Li Lan, who entered the café, looked around and walked straight to two women wearing peaked caps.
"I'm sorry, there's someone here." A slightly sour voice came from the mouth of one of the women.
Li Lan smiled slightly, didn't pay attention to it, sat down directly, and said, "Why are you still jealous, you didn't make it." ”
"You're cheating, don't let me be jealous!" The woman who opened her mouth before took off her sunglasses with a resentful face.
"I didn't accompany you for a day yesterday, and besides, it was all instructed by you." Li Lan shook her head, grabbed the coffee in front of Lin Meiqi, took a sip, and said with emotion: "It's so difficult to be a man!" ”
"Virtue!" Lin Meiqi glanced at Li Lan and looked at the time, then she reacted and said, "Why did you come out so quickly?" ”
Natasha on the side also nodded and asked, "According to the schedule, shouldn't the meeting have a short break until noon, why did it come out at half past nine?" ”
"Formalism kills people, so I'm willful." Li Lan put down the coffee and said, "I threw away the speech, and then said something I wanted to say, and walked out." It is estimated that the meeting has also been disbanded now. ”
The two women glanced at each other, with an inexplicable smile on their faces, and Lin Meiqi said: "We still know you and know that you will definitely be impatient, but I didn't expect you to do this, and there are many people who have offended this time." ”
"What's that. Those who should have been offended have already been offended, and there is not much this time. Li Lan didn't care about this. Said.
……
While the three were chatting, there was no one in the conference room at United Nations Headquarters. All kinds of discussions are going on closely in small groups, and whether they are heads of state or state representatives, the topic of discussion is naturally Li Lan's speech just now.
If we say that we are the busiest now, it belongs to those reporters from various countries who are guarding outside the UN headquarters, and this is the first time they have encountered this situation, and all kinds of means of inquiry are being carried out, and soon, the UN side released a video of the meeting, some of which are Li Lan's speech.
Now. All the reporters approached like cats smelling fish.
In consideration of Li Lan's last sentence, NATO countries did not seem to have any intention of preventing the United Nations from blocking the news, so the content of the conference was immediately announced.
The face of the United Nations, which represents the face of all countries, and the most solemn congress is interrupted in this way, so it is natural to give an explanation to the outside world. Although Li Lan's words carry a great irony of the world and the UN system, they can only publish them. Otherwise, when Li Lan personally said this matter, it would be a slap in the face.
According to Li Lan's personality, if the United Nations deliberately conceals this matter, it will inevitably expose the matter. Add to that the countries that have good relations with Somalia, and the damage to the reputation of the United Nations will be even greater.
For this matter. The United Nations also held a special press conference, claiming that it had some content of Li Lan's speech. will be adopted and discussed within the United Nations.
At the same time. Li Lan also seems to have some trouble here, the Starbucks café has been surrounded by a large number of reporters, if it weren't for the janissaries next to Li Lan, I'm afraid they would all be around.
Fortunately, Li Lan's identity made the reporters very knowledgeable, and the result was that the business of the café exploded as soon as it opened, because the guards only guarded the sofa where Li Lan and others were seated, and did not prevent the reporters from coming in, and those reporters also ordered coffee with great interest and sat around them.
Li Lan didn't care about so many reporters around her, and chatted with Lin Meiqi and Natasha without a word.
However, the situation did not last long, when there was a sudden commotion among the reporters gathered in front of the café, and several bodyguards suddenly appeared, isolating the reporters at the door out of a passage, and then Ban Ki-moon walked in.
"Let's go shopping first." Seeing Ban Ki-moon's figure, Lin Meiqi pulled the corner of Natasha's clothes and left.
Li Lan nodded and said, "Be careful. ”
Ban Ki-moon, who came over and staggered past the two women, also said hello to the two women, and then walked straight towards Li Lan's location, the guards did not stop him, and sat opposite Li Lan very smoothly.
"Ask for another coffee." Li Lan gave an order to the janissaries beside him, and then faced Ban Ki-moon and asked, "Is the secretary general here to find me?" ”
Originally, Ban Ki-moon wanted to invite Li Lan to the United Nations headquarters, after all, there were reporters all around, and some things were really inconvenient to say, but Li Lan helped him order coffee, and the meaning was obvious, he didn't want to leave here.
"I have listened to what you just said at the General Assembly, and the United Nations has developed to the point where it is today, and some things are well known, and I also believe that there are many things that you have not said, which can be regarded as saving face for the United Nations." Ban Ki-moon said very quietly, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at the reporters next to him who were sticking their heads out and probing their brains.
The corners of Li Lan's eyes raised slightly, and said, "Then you came to me to give a lecture?" Or are you here to help them take a stand? ”
is a very direct question, so that Ban Ki-moon, who has prepared a stomach full of words, didn't know what to say for a while, he hurriedly came to Li Lan, naturally not to do homely. After the meeting, the NATO countries and some of the NATO countries' traditional friends gathered together.
This made his eyelids jump, and Li Lan had already made it very clear at the conference, that it was almost a declaration of war, and it was also a warning to NATO and other countries. This kind of behavior is extremely dangerous in Ban Ki-moon's eyes, and this is how he can sit still.
As Secretary-General of the United Nations, the last thing he wants is for his tenure to break out into a war that affects developed countries, especially Somalia. In his eyes, today's Somalia is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and compared with the three fat men in North Korea, Li Lan is countless times more dangerous.
Moreover, Li Lan is also the founding first head of Somalia and has an unparalleled reputation in Somalia, according to a number of reports, more than 85% of people in Somalia supported Li Lan, and more than half of the people have an attitude towards Li Lan, which is almost a pious belief.
Such a country is more terrible than any other country, and Li Lan only needs one sentence to incite tens of millions of people, and when the time comes, these people will go to extremes because of the war, and no one can bear such consequences.
Normally, no one wants to fight a madman, let alone a country ruled by faith, which is tantamount to a group of madmen, and whoever provokes such a country will not please them.
Now Li Lan is still very sensible and has not taken advantage of his reputation in China to do anything, but once the war breaks out and in the face of pressure from the United States and all European countries, the final result will inevitably be that Somalia will enter the nuclear winter with the European and American continents.
Ban Ki-moon believes that when the time comes to the extreme, Li Lan will inevitably embark on this path. And Somalia also has such capabilities, and the intercontinental missiles launched a while ago, as well as the underground nuclear tests conducted, have proven this qiē.
At that time, it will naturally be impossible for the "Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty" to stop Li Lan, and mankind will be destroyed in her own hands as she said.
After weighing it for a long time, it wasn't until the guards brought the coffee that Ban Ki-moon spoke: "I'm sorry, I'm distracted." ”
After taking a sip of coffee and relieving the five tastes in his heart, Ban Ki-moon continued: "I don't know what to say now, and there is only one thought in my mind after the meeting, which is to find you." ”
"Are you afraid that I will start an irreparable war?" Li Lan said simply.
"Not bad." Ban Ki-moon nodded.
"But why didn't you go to Obama and come to me?" Li Lan asked rhetorically.
When Ban Ki-moon heard this, his face was a little more embarrassed, and he said, "I'll go find it." ”
"Okay, you go to Obama first, see what he says, and then come to me." Li Lan said.
"This ......," Ban Ki-moon shook his head and said, "I just hope that both of you can exercise a little restraint." ”
"There are some things that there is no way to do, and in the face of conclusive complaints, the Hague Tribunal can turn black and white upside down, do you think I can trust you?" Li Lan pointed out mercilessly.
Regarding Li Lan's words, Ban Ki-moon only shook his head helplessly and said: "I can't do anything about it, but no matter what, I also hope that war will not occur." ”
"The role of the United Nations is being lost, and people are ultimately on their own, and the same is true for countries, all on their own. NATO has encircled Somalia in all directions, co-opted countries around Somalia, provoked disputes again and again, carried out anti-government propaganda in our country, created contradictions between tribes and clans, bribed Chinese government personnel, deliberately provoked a civil war in Somalia, and maliciously squeezed Somalia's normal foreign trade. Everything is in front of everyone, what do you think I should do, pretend I don't see anything? Li Lan's voice became louder and louder, and the faces of the surrounding reporters showed a happy color.
"Then do you have to use war to solve the problem?" Ban Ki-moon took a deep breath and asked.
"War is the last resort, if there is a way, I hate war very much, my soldiers are all human beings, they have families, parents, wives and children. Sometimes, however, peaceful means are not enough to resolve the problem once and for all. Speaking of this, Li Lan eased up for a moment, suppressed his slightly excited feelings, and continued: "However, you can rest assured that as long as NATO members do not take the initiative to provoke a war, then I will not provoke a war, but for those countries that maliciously target Somalia, I will treat them with a zero-tolerance attitude in the future."
