Chapter 878: Obama Successor

The trip to Tehran was carried out according to the results that Li Lan had expected.

Since the rise of Somalia, Iran, which is eager to build up its power and seek strategic opportunities for its country, cannot avoid siding with Somalia. Somalia needs a lot of friends, and Iran is the best choice, and the two sides come together naturally.

After more than 10 years of friendship, the relationship between Soy is incomparably strong, which is the result of the joint efforts of Khamenei and Li Lan, and it is also the best choice for the two countries.

Somalia has strong friends, and Iran is using Somalia to strengthen its defense. In more than ten years, Iran has spent more than 100 billion US dollars to purchase most of the equipment of the navy, land and air force from Somalia, and most of the army equipment is assembled in Iran.

In the past ten years, the Iranian army has also completed many upgrades, and the F-14 purchased to the United States that year has been completely decommissioned, and the second- and third-generation fighters that have been retained have also been converted into training aircraft to train more pilots.

Now the Iranian Air Force has nearly 200 fourth-generation Intruder and Black Hawk fighters, as well as a number of dozens of fifth-generation fighters, making it the number one air power in the Middle East.

In terms of the army, it is the largest development force of the Iranians, and the second-generation main battle tanks have been completely retired from the regular army of the Iranians, and the thousands of main battle tanks and various good equipment of the army have been purchased one after another for more than ten years, so that the Iranian army has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In terms of navy, Iran has also focused on developing targets in recent years, and Iran has purchased eight ships of the Sycada alone, which has a full stealth combat fleet with a displacement of only 2,000 tons. constitutes the core of the strategic defense of the Iranian Navy, under specific conditions. These eight scorpions alone are enough to block access to the Persian Gulf.

And the Iranians bought multipurpose destroyers, although there are only four. But it is enough to form an ocean-going combat force and form a larger maritime defense circle. In conjunction with supply ships and other auxiliary vessels, it can also conduct ocean-going operations.

What is even more remarkable is that Iran was the first country to receive military and tactical assistance from Somalia, and it has hired a large number of disabled Somali soldiers as instructors for its own troops to train in the use of weapons and teach combat tactics.

The combat effectiveness of the Somali regular army has attracted worldwide attention, and it is not only the advanced weapons and equipment of Somalia that is powerful, but also the will to fight that shocks the world, which are precisely these two qualities. It is the most feared place in NATO.

Obtaining Somali weapons and tactics inherited from Iran, ushered in the peak of military development.

However, Iran has long lacked strategic deterrence weapons. In fact, Iran has also proposed that Somalia secretly support them in developing nuclear weapons, but Li Lan is very resolute in this regard.

However, Li Lan, who rejected Iran, has changed to another solution: Somalia does not support or interfere in Iran's nuclear weapons development, while Somalia supports Iran's development of high and new technologies, especially in space.

The Iranians have been deeply involved in the space migration program that Somalia began seven years ago, which has led to Iran's rapid development in the space field in recent years. In the past six years, Iran has launched 13 satellites, its own rocket propulsion technology has basically matured, and Iran is equivalent to possessing ballistic missiles.

Iran, however, did not stop there. India has successfully received two US aircraft carriers of more than 80,000 tons, and in a few years its combat effectiveness has matured, and it has also continued to purchase the last Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier from the United States. At present, it is in a state of running-in, plus the aircraft carrier that wants to be purchased by Russia and the domestic aircraft carrier that has been launched. India currently has five aircraft carriers, three of which are heavy aircraft carriers of more than 80,000 tons.

And ambitious India with the support of the United States. The construction of aircraft carriers of more than 65,000 tons has also begun one after another, and it is bound to build a naval power that is not inferior to Somalia in the Indian Ocean.

The aircraft carrier Kalin, which Somalia gave to Pakistan, also marked Pakistan's successful entry into the aircraft carrier club, and its military ranking soared for a while. Although Somalia and Pakistan are both friends of Iran, the US Fifth Fleet Group and India's five aircraft carrier battle groups are still putting too much pressure on Iran.

And the things of friends are not their own after all, and the Iranians cannot completely relax, so the Iranians are also desperate to have their own aircraft carrier battle group, which also has a place in the Indian Ocean.

It's just that it was completely contrary to Khamenei's expectations, and Li Lan's direct gift of the aircraft carrier once again put him in, although he is an old politician, but at this time, in his heart, there is no politician's idea at all.

Now there is only one thought in his heart, Iran has benefited too much from Li Lan, and even if it falls into a war because of Somalia in the future, he will not have any hesitation.

Taking low cost as a favor, Li Lan is tired of this, according to the current daily capital income, a conventionally powered aircraft carrier, Li Lan really didn't pay attention to it, he also had the intention to give it to Iran for a long time, but until now, what he grasped was the opportunity.

When the aircraft carrier was given to Pakistan, the timing was that the United States and India reached an agreement on the gift of aircraft carriers, and what he did was to send charcoal in the snow. Now that Iran is deeply aware of the weakness of its navy, Li Lan has also extended his hand at the right time.

Like Pakistan, in addition to the gift of aircraft carriers, other elements that make up the aircraft carrier battle group need to be purchased by Iran, which is another huge amount of military procurement income. If it weren't for the many military purchase agreements reached between the United States and India, Somalia would now export more military equipment than the United States.

In just one day, Somalia and Iran signed a host of new cooperation agreements, some of which were key elements of the White House president's desk.

At this moment, the black president has left the center of power in the United States, and he is replaced by a blonde woman - Hillary Clinton. Clinton, the first female president of the United States.

Although she is a woman, Hillary Clinton is an out-and-out hardliner, walking in the opposite style of Barack Obama, but the general policy of the United States has not changed.

The rise of Somalia and the growing international influence of China and Russia have put the United States under tremendous pressure. When Hillary Clinton came to power, although her style was completely different from Obama's, her ultimate goal was the same.

In the past three years, Hillary Clinton has done the most in diplomacy, wooing a country that is not part of the network of China, Sovistan and Russia, and strengthening economic and political support for countries that can be wooed.

At the same time, she also actively engaged in dialogue with China and Russia, especially for China, Hillary Clinton has been in office for three years, and will pay a state visit to China every year, changing her previous tough stance towards China, and turning this toughness to Somalia.

Li Lan's diplomatic activities are the highest goal of the United States, and Li Lan's every move in any public place, even a small gesture and a look, are the objects of study by those think tanks in the United States.

This is all because the Americans are too desperate to understand their opponents, and before Somalia, Li Lan can be said to have no resume, unlike other leaders, who worked from the grassroots level and had enough information to record the growth process.

Li Lan did not have this qiē Li Lan, and the intelligence work of the US intelligence services in Somalia has not been smooth, and they can only get some not very mysterious information, just like a while ago, the Somali test of the electromagnetic cannon did not know until the next day that the US intelligence agency knew about it. And it is the official Somali announcement of this news.

Of course, no one is a real rice bucket, and the US Intelligence Agency has not gained anything in recent years, at least they have built up a large number of databases, absorbing all kinds of information of high-level Somali personnel, among which Li Lan's database is the largest.

However, no matter how many people are researching, Li Lan still gives many people a very mysterious feeling, and until now, they have not been able to figure out where the huge research group under Li Lan is.

This issue is like a huge veil over Li Lan and Somalia, and it has become the most interesting issue in the world.

It's just that this issue is no longer the most important issue for the United States, and the United States, which has gradually lost its military superiority in the world, is no longer interested in the problems of the past. Rather than focusing on satisfying curiosity, it would be more practical to focus more on what Somalia is going to do next.

When the text of the agreement between the two countries on the gift of aircraft carriers was placed in front of Hillary, the female president's face was not very good-looking.

When Somalia gave the aircraft carrier to Pakistan, it had already made the United States unhappy, and now another country that is not on the same path as the United States is about to have an aircraft carrier, which makes her happy.

In the past few years, Iran's military development has made the Americans feel tricky, and the heavy aircraft carriers that the United States has always monopolized, now have become everywhere, which means that the United States' military superiority in the world has once again been challenged.

If it weren't for the incomparable US-India relations now, the United States could almost be said to have lost control of the Indian Ocean, and the US Fifth Fleet Group would be someone else's meal at any time.

Fortunately, the United States still has the greatest control over the Indian Ocean because of India's five aircraft carrier battle groups in the Indian Ocean, otherwise the United States will lose control of the Indian Ocean.

However, this form will also gradually change over time, and it will not take two years for Somalia to enter service with one aircraft carrier battle group a year, and Somalia will have five supercarrier battle groups in the Indian Ocean, two supercarrier battle groups in the Atlantic, plus Pakistani and Iranian aircraft carriers, and the aircraft carriers of the Indian and US Fifth Fleet groups combined, will be at a disadvantage.

So, the first thing Hillary thought about when she saw this information was how to end this seemingly endless arms race. (To be continued......)
