As a drama called betrayal was staged, it caused a strong shock throughout the West.

Uganda is a traditional friendly country among NATO countries, and although the emergence of Uganda's policy of proximity to some nearby countries has aroused great dissatisfaction among Western countries, it has all aimed to undermine the traditional relations between the two sides.

Every year, Western countries have given Uganda a lot of monetary and policy preferences to support the development of Uganda's domestic livelihood, which has hardly changed for decades. At the beginning, in order to limit Uganda's military, Western countries only required that Uganda's annual military expenditure should not exceed 2% of its total fiscal revenue, and even after Somalia slowly developed, this condition was invisibly abolished.

Uganda's economy is strongly dependent on the West, accounting for more than 70% of Uganda's total import and export value every year.

Between the nineties and the forties of the last century, Britain was still the suzerainty of Uganda, and Uganda had the Queen of England as the supreme leader of the country.

Relations with the United States have also deepened, and Uganda was an important friend of the United States in Africa against the Soviet Union, and relations have been strengthening year by year, and other countries have hardly any effective means to meddle in the relations between the two countries.

It is precisely because of these relationships that NATO dares to put a large amount of weapons and equipment in Uganda and use Uganda as a transit point to support Kenya, but in the face of Uganda's sudden betrayal, it is unacceptable to the entire NATO.

Not to mention the weapons and equipment that are still stored in Uganda is a huge loss, without such an ally. It is also a fatal blow to NATO's influence in Africa.

The situation in Kenya is now irreparable. Nigeria's relations with Somalia are deepening, and Egypt, which is also a Muslim country, is not very hostile towards Somalia.

Other countries simply cannot give NATO enough help. The betrayal of the most traditional allies is a fatal blow to NATO.

When NATO's top brass received that Uganda had sent personnel to contact the interim governments of Somalia and Kenya in the hope of resolving the issue peacefully, NATO's first thought was not to retaliate, but to try to redeem Uganda as much as possible.

When the Ugandan side sent personnel to Nairobi, NATO representative Anders asked to see Museveni in a cold sweat.

In the office where the Chinese Ambassador to Uganda was received. Museveni met with Anders.

"Dear Mr. President, do you really intend to break off your century-long friendship with NATO?"

As soon as he saw Museveni, Anders was in the right place, he was not even in the mood to sit down and talk, and once Uganda decided to hand over the contents of Uhuru and the arms depot to Somalia, then he would also be finished.

Looking at the familiar face covered with sweat in front of him, Museveni felt quite helpless, he was also very reluctant to accept the friendship of NATO countries to him, but he was more worried about his own country being subverted.

Ethiopia listened to NATO. Vietnam also listens to NATO, Yemen and Kenya also listen to NATO, and the result?

Ethiopia is almost gone, guarding that barren land. Countless people are starved to death every day.

Vietnam, which once had no way to fight the Americans, was swept away by the Somali army in just half a year.

The current form of Yemen is not optimistic. The Houthis, supported by the Somali Air Force, have gradually taken the initiative. Yemen's corrupt government forces, on the other hand, have been beaten to the brink by the Somali Air Force.

own old neighbor Kenya. The mighty Kenyan army was wiped out in just a few days, and a little-known rebel force took power in just a few days.

None of the above four countries, Uganda, can afford to provoke any of them, the results are already there, with so many lessons from the past, it is already a large army at this moment, and Somalia's powerful air force can destroy the entire country of Uganda at any time. Museveni would not dare to confront Somalia even if he was given more courage at the moment.

It's not that he doesn't have the courage, but there is no way to fight at all, and the chance of victory is like a flower in the moon mirror in the water. He saw this very clearly, if the Somali army was so easy to deal with, then Somalia would have been wiped out I don't know how many times.

Compared with the price of being sorry for NATO, with China's assurance, he has a clear choice, it is irrational to confront Somalia, but with the promise of Somali protection and China's economic assistance, choosing to offend NATO is not a way out at all.

And the domestic situation makes him dare not really confront Somalia, otherwise his position as president may be ousted at any time.

Under the choice of various interests, he finally chose to believe in Somalia, which is also an African country, and believes in Somalia, which is also black-skinned. In any case, since South Sudan and Eritrea chose to follow Somalia, the growth of national strength has made many African countries jealous, and he has no reason not to believe the promise of the Somali president.

"Mr. Anders, you know better than anyone the combat effectiveness of the Ugandan army, let alone against the powerful Somali air force, and the endless missiles, even if it is an armored division of the opponent, it can defeat my army lightly. Do you think I have the money to refuse the Somalis' demands? Museveni said helplessly.

"But you have the support of the whole of NATO behind you! With the addition of those three weapons warehouses, you can arm tens of thousands of troops at any time, and our aid will continue to reach you, and the Iraqis can make the US military scorched with simple weapons, and the Ugandan people will not have the courage to resist the invasion. As soon as Anders heard Museveni's explanation, he said very anxiously, and he didn't even bother to sort out his tone.

"Uganda's determination to defend its country is unquestionable, but as their president, I can't let my people die on the battlefield in vain, my country is now in a very dangerous moment, the tribes in the north have begun to take advantage of the problem, they are already dissatisfied with the government's cooperation with NATO countries, at this time, with the pressure of Somalia, anything can happen, maybe in a few days, my head will be hanging over the presidential palace in Kampala."

Museveni was a little spitting at Anders's words, and the result of those countries that fell under the Somali army was not the same if it did not have the support of NATO. He doesn't believe that if he chooses to be with NATO, there will be no good end. When the time comes, not to mention that the Somali army will come in directly, even if Somalia supports the northern tribes, Uganda, which is in a civil war, will be enough to drink a pot of its own.

"I've brought enough friendship with NATO, do you really want to refuse?" Anders had no way to refute Museveni's words, so he had to make a last-ditch effort.

"I believe in NATO's friendship, but will NATO be able to help resolve the troubles you have imposed on me?" Museveni replied sharply.

As soon as he heard Museveni's words, Anders shook his head, the attitude of NATO countries is very firm, at this time it is impossible for them to engage in a direct war with Somalia, and Somalia, which has unlocked its nuclear weapons, may plunge the whole world into a nuclear winter at any time.

"NATO is willing to increase its annual emergency assistance to Uganda, and to fund the training of a good air force and to give you enough weapons and equipment to use. And Uganda just needs to maintain its traditional friendship with NATO. Anders voiced NATO's decision, hoping that Museveni would be tempted.

To be honest, as soon as he heard Anders's words, Museveni was extremely moved, but reason told him that no matter how big the cake in front of him was, it would be in vain if he didn't have the life to enjoy it. Kenyans were not tempted at the beginning, but now they are not fleeing to other countries.

Suppressing his desires, Museveni said: "If NATO is willing to send troops directly to help us defeat Somalia, then I have no reason to refuse." ”

When Anders heard this, he did not directly refuse Museveni's request, but said: "NATO's direct entry into the war will be a war that will destroy the mière, and most of the world will be ruined at that time." ”

This answer was tantamount to a rejection, and Museveni could only completely give up the desire in his heart and said: "In that case, I can only say sorry." As president, I have to think about my people. ”

Anders's face had become ugly when he heard this, and although he had already guessed the result, it was still difficult for him to accept the words that came out of Museveni's mouth.

"I advise you, Mr. President, that your decision is tantamount to declaring war on the entire NATO, do you want to face the retaliation of the entire NATO?" Anders had already had to tear his skin and warned again: "I believe that there is no country in the world that can bargain with NATO, and Uganda is not Somalia." ”

Taking a deep breath, Museveni was in a mood, he had no way out, and said: "In this regard, I also regret very much, the strong Uganda of Somalia cannot resist, and we cannot resist the strength of NATO, so I can only choose to solve the current crisis first." ”

"In that case, then please Mr. President, do it yourself." After Anders finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Looking at the back of the departing, Museveni couldn't help but take out his mobile phone, pulled out a complicated phone, and said after connecting: "I rejected NATO, now you should fulfill your promise!" ”

On the other end of the phone, Li Lan replied very simply: "Don't worry, my troops will be stationed in Uganda immediately." ”

Hearing Li Lan's answer, Museveni breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Anders, who left the presidential office, was detained by the guards of the presidential palace before he left the presidential palace. (To be continued......)
