Chapter 881: Li Lan Comes to the Gaza Strip
Li Lan's trip to Syria lasted for a long time, beyond everyone's expectations, and no one knew why he stayed in Syria for four days, because the cooperation and issues discussed by the two countries only took one day to suffice, but Li Lan's trip was delayed in Syria for four whole days.
And in the past four days, Li Lan has not traveled everywhere, and has not appeared in front of the public eye for a lot of time, but has only attended several activities.
It was not until the fifth day that Li Lan's special plane took off from Damascus and landed in the Palestinian Gaza Strip. After entering Palestinian airspace early, the only planes sent by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas came to greet Li Lan's arrival.
Looking down on the whole of Gaza in the sky, it was a mess, which made Li Lan, who had landed in the Palestinian area for the first time, feel a little heavy in his heart, and he did not regain his heart until the huge air command platform staggered to land at the airport outside Gaza.
Outside the airport, Abbas personally welcomed Li Lan's visit, and for him, the political impact of Li Lan's arrival deserved his attention in all aspects. After all, Palestine is still in a very embarrassing situation, and without a state, only a few countries in the world recognize the sovereignty of Palestine, and Somalia is one of them.
Li Lan's visit came as a surprise to many people, because no leader from a country outside the Middle East had ever visited Palestine, and this was also a breakthrough for Palestine. But this also made the Palestinians feel very nervous, and in fact, the Palestinian areas have not been stable for a day at all.
According to the Palestinian-Israeli agreement, the Palestinians do not have an army, only a police force of about 20,000 people. The weapons are all rudimentary submachine guns. If it weren't for the fact that in recent years, Somalia would have donated a large number of weapons. This veritable Palestinian armed force is estimated to be inferior to the combat effectiveness of terrorists.
several years of development. Abbas used this armed police force to successfully integrate forces west of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip to achieve the best situation in the Palestinian region in decades. In terms of armament, although the police force does not have tanks, fighter jets, artillery and other advanced equipment, in terms of light weapons, it is supported by Somalia, anti-armor weapons, portable artillery, various armored vehicles, transport/helicopter gunships, and at sea, four scorpions purchased from Somalia. Armed with the police force under the guise of maritime vigilance, the Palestinian police force has now become a combat-ready force in the Palestinian areas.
However, there are still many scattered forces in Palestine, Israel has carried out air strikes in the area on many occasions, and various rebel forces are still on one side, and the climate, although not rising, is always a great threat.
I don't know if Li Lan's arrival can open a new chapter in Palestine, but it has already made many people want to move. Abbas is under tremendous pressure to do so. The entire Gaza region is on the highest level of alert, otherwise if Li Lan suffers any harm in the Palestinian areas, the blow to Palestine will be devastating.
And as a party. Li Lan didn't have the nervousness of Abbas, but when he got off the plane, he still made special preparations. A thin bulletproof vest allowance was on his body, under the two armpits of the outer suit. Two pistols with the safety open were hidden inside the suit, inside the trouser tubes on the feet. There is also a circle of small daggers hidden.
After getting ready, Li Lan did not step off the plane, and even the cabin door has not been opened until now. It wasn't until the cargo door of the air command platform opened that Li Lan got off the plane directly in a special car.
Unfazed, Abbas also got into his car and headed for Gaza.
Gaza is one of the most chaotic places in the world, full of armed forces and weapons on a large scale, and it is even more dangerous than it was in Somalia.
In order to ensure the safety of Li Lan on this road, Abbas completely blocked the entire street from the airport to the presidential palace in Gaza, and the armored vehicles of the Palestinian police force can be seen at every intersection, and the high-rise buildings on both sides of the street have surveillance personnel to check the surrounding situation.
In the streets, armed police units stood guard 50 meters apart, and the whole Gaza region was tense.
Li Lan, who was sitting in the car, only felt a little amused by Abbas's allergic reaction, this level of defense in front of him was at most only to defend against those ordinary armed organizations, and if it was an advanced country as an attacker, this kind of defense would be useless at all.
Fortunately, this tragedy did not occur, and the convoy made its way through Gaza, and soon arrived at Abbas's temporary office. Separated from the Palestinian Gaza Strip and the West Bank, which are also controlled by Israeli forces in many places, Abbas, who has successfully achieved political independence, still has no way to have the real capital of Palestine - Jerusalem.
This is one of the main reasons why Palestine has not been recognized, claiming that Israel is illegal and occupying their capital, Jerusalem, and that the Arabs in Palestine have not re-chosen the capital city in order to assert their true sovereignty over Jerusalem.
So Abbas doesn't have his own presidential palace at all, only a temporary office in Gaza, which is also the center of the parliament of all parties in the Palestinian area.
In front of the interim presidential palace, the grand welcoming ceremony showed the heartfelt welcome of Palestine to Li Lan's arrival, and even more so, the heartfelt thanks of Somalia for its support over the past 10 years.
Without the support of Somalia, the current situation in Palestine would definitely not be the same as it is today, and perhaps they are still in the process of conflict over some rights and interests......
After the welcoming ceremony, Li Lan finally held a separate meeting with Abbas after the routine talks.
In Abbas's private meeting room, the two sat opposite each other, with no third person present.
After a brief politeness, Abbas cut to the chase and said: "I have known President Lee for ten years, and we both know each other's personalities. In the words of your motherland, there is nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace. After all, the Gaza Strip is not a good place. Normal people don't come here without something. ”
In the face of Abbas's directness, Li Lan smiled slightly. However, he didn't speak directly, but suddenly got up, turned to face the wall behind him, and after scanning the wall for a moment, finally locked onto an ordinary-looking human statue beneath the wall.
Abbas looked at Li Lan's sudden movements suspiciously, and Li Lan's next movements made him even more puzzled. Li Lan, who left his seat, walked directly to the statue, and very unceremoniously picked out the sapphire-like eyes on the statue, which seemed to be very firmly embedded in the statue, and it was very light into his hand.
Now it's time to unravel the reason for this strange move. When he came to Abbas, he reached out and put the eyeball that had just been pulled off the statue in front of Abbas's eyes, and then closed his palm and squeezed it hard.
In the quiet reception room, both of them could clearly hear the sound of glass breaking, when Li Lan spread his palms again. Among the broken glass shavings was a tiny device that was glowing red, no larger than a normal person's fingernail.
Abbas's face instantly turned ugly, and he was about to speak, when Li Lan immediately stopped him with his hand. The hand that had just grasped the statue's eyeballs was hard again, this time silently, and when he spread out the head again, the little thing that shimmered with a faint red light. It had been pinched, and the flickering red light had been extinguished.
"There will be such a huge mistake, I will definitely give President Li an explanation." I sorted out my thoughts. Abbas said angrily.
"This matter really needs to be taken care of, if our conversation today is known to those who are interested. The consequences are very strict. Saying this, Li Lan's eyes narrowed. Continued: "And this bugging device must have been installed here recently, and its greatest value is to eavesdrop on the conversation between us, obviously aimed at my arrival. The news of my arrival here was announced a long time ago, and there should not be many people who can do it. ”
Abbas nodded, there was a chill in his eyes, Li Lan was right, there were only a few people who could enter here, and in his opinion, this thing should have been placed here even when he went to the airport to greet Li Lan.
For several days, the place has been closed off to ensure safety, and the interior has been carefully inspected, and every corner has been inspected with wireless detection devices. The bugging device that was crushed by Li Lan was a wireless transmission, and if it had been installed a long time ago, it would not have been able to escape inspection at all.
And the person who can have this ability and this time to complete this matter is even smaller, as for who already has a goal in his heart, but he does not plan to sue Li Lan for this kind of family scandal, this is his responsibility.
"I'm curious, how did His Excellency President Li know about the existence of this thing?" Abbas was more interested in the question of who did it, and even Li Lan's light hand to smash the bug made him very curious.
"This ability is not worth mentioning, it is my mobile phone that checked the source of wireless signal transmission, and I am a little curious about how there is an external transmission signal source in this kind of place, so I found this bugging."
Although Li Lan's answer was very relaxed, Abbas didn't think so, after all, it was not a simple matter to be able to detect the weak wireless signal of the eavesdropper. However, he did not continue to dwell on this issue.
"It's all safe now, can you talk about what you're here for?"
Returning to her seat, Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "My friend, if one day in the future, you will have the opportunity to enter Jerusalem, will you seize such an opportunity?" ”
When Abbas heard this, he did not react excessively, but said lightly: "This is an old problem, and I advocate that peaceful means can be used to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli issue, so I will adopt a peaceful solution." War is always the last option. ”
"I know, but in all fairness, do you think there will be a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian issue? Do you want to give up Jerusalem once and for all and recognize Israel's national sovereignty over Jerusalem and the West Bank as a whole? ”
Li Lan's question is very acute, and this is where the biggest contradiction between Palestine and Israel lies at present, and the recapture of Jerusalem is the long-cherished wish of several generations of Arabs in the Gaza Strip, and once Abbas completely abandons Jerusalem, he will be spurned by the Arabs of the entire Gaza Strip for the first time.
"I naturally understand that no matter how small the possibility of a peaceful settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli issue is, it is even more likely than a military solution to this matter." Abbas answered Li Lan's question very seriously. But it also shows the entanglement of the Arabs in the Palestinian-Israeli issue.
"That's right, according to the military parity between the Palestinian and Israeli sides. In the event of war, there is only the possibility of Palestine being annexed by the Israelis. I am well aware of your concerns. Speaking of this, Li Lan weighed the language to be organized next, and only then continued: "However, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, maybe there will be an opportunity for you in the future, one that allows you to re-enter Jerusalem with your own hands and establish a country in the true sense." ”
Li Lan's words lightly aroused Abbas's interest, and the Arabs in Palestine have lost their national faith for far too long, how many people have been born to the end of their lives. I have not experienced the feeling of the country.
The same is true of Abbas, who, while the Palestinian areas and some parts of Jordan and the West Bank, have now returned to normal government rule, but they are still far from a real state.
If the words he heard in his ears were from other people's mouths, Abbas would have the right to comfort himself as if the other party was doing so, but when these words came out of Li Lan's mouth, he felt that there was a door, "If you have a chance." I will not miss it lightly, because the future is too far away, and I am afraid that time will dilute the Palestinians' desire for statehood. ”
After getting the answer he wanted, Li Lan's heart was also relieved. said: "Trust my old friend, I will do my best to help you as long as you need it." ”
Abbas shook his head with a wry smile. "It's not that easy, Israel will never see us have our own army," he said. Now the arming of our Palestinians has touched the bottom line of the Israelis. If there is further development, it will not be a question of whether we will be able to retake Jerusalem, but that the Israelites will send troops to destroy our forces. The Jews, who also aspire to a nation, regard the sovereignty of the country as supremely important, and there is absolutely no room for any nation that threatens their sovereignty in the vicinity, and in the words of you Chinese, it allows others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch. ”
"There are no absolutes in the world, as long as you are firm in what you said before." Li Lan didn't say much, and when the time came, he would naturally explain it......
At the same time, the entire Gaza Strip of Palestine was set off by a whirlwind because of Li Lan's arrival.
When Li Lan arrived in Palestine, many people secretly arrived in this small Middle Eastern place. In the hundreds of kilometers of barren land between Gaza and the Mediterranean, there are too many abandoned villages here, and too many people have been left away from this place by the perennial chaos, leaving behind a large area of ruins.
Similar scenes can be seen everywhere in Somalia at the beginning, but here it is more chaotic than Somalia at the beginning, every qiē can be said to be created by Israel, a complete Palestine is not in the interests of the Israelis, and local armed forces are supported everywhere, which has brought decades of war and division in this region, so that the economy here will never develop, and Palestine will always have to work hard for its own stability, and the result is just a bottomless pit.
No matter how many people around the world call for peace in the region, the armed men and warlords here remain unchanged, and Israel, which has never stopped its military operations, has not many people come out to blame.
After all, there are still many people in this world who are unwilling to offend a country like Israel, let alone for a weak Palestine. Even if it is Li Lan, at most, a few words, just sell some weapons to the Palestinian government, and there will be no more direct actions.
So this is a testament to the decades-long chaos that has plagued the Gaza Strip, but for a certain group of people, it's paradise. Chaos, there is no law and no system, it is a gathering place for criminals, and it is a place where all kinds of mercenaries gather.
All kinds of forces and armed forces meet here, and they live a life of bullets, but too many people are happy to do it.
However, it is now quiet, not because of the pressure brought by the Palestinian armed police force, but because there are many more ruthless characters in this time, so that these local snakes are quietly watching.
The means that were able to suppress these restless armed personnel were direct and simple, and in the night of the previous two days, several armed forces entrenched in the surrounding area were all wiped out overnight.
This made all the characters in the region entrenched, after all, the ruthlessness and extinction of the attacker had already given everyone an extremely stern warning.
In a small, abandoned village no more than sixty kilometers from the shores of the Mediterranean, when night falls, the burning of firewood tells the people from afar that this place has a lord.
At this moment, dozens of armed men sitting around the fire all had a very dangerous aura, and each of them exuded a strong smell of blood, which was very in line with their temperament.
In the middle of the fire, everyone was quietly destroying the food in their hands, and on the fire there was a roasted calf, and only a pile of skeletons remained. Only two people present did not eat, and if the Somali intelligence service was present now, they would have recognized them at a glance.
One is the famous mercenary Wang Busnake, and the other is Michelle, who will capture the Russian Alpha special forces and the Somalia operation team in Ukraine. At this moment, both of them seemed to be quietly waiting for something, and there was a hint of madness on their faces. (To be continued......)
