Chapter 763: Hundreds of Nuclear Bombs
The reason why Li Lan did not refuse to sell potions to European and American countries was only to avoid damaging his reputation, after all, in the face of epidemic prevention, all mankind must abandon hatred and unite together.
Of course, the premise is that he is not worried that European and American countries will study pharmacology. As for whether these medicines should be bought and used in European and American countries, or studied, he did not think too much about this. Because even if it is not sold to European and American countries, it is normal for these countries to want to make a little potion to research.
After all, these potions will still be sent to West African countries, and they will have a lot of opportunities at that time.
However, Li Lan has already thought that in terms of price, he wants to cut off the part of the profits from the support for West African countries from European and American countries. After all, these potions are all produced from the base, and although the price is not expensive, he is not willing to make a loss-making transaction.
When Ban Ki-moon heard this, his face became a little more anxious, and he immediately said: "At present, Ebola patients have been found in Spain and the United States, and once the Ebola virus really spreads in Spain and the United States, things will become more troublesome." Therefore, please be sure to give an even portion of the disaster to the countries that are currently directly affected by the disaster to solve the urgent needs. ”
As the Secretary-General of the United Nations, it is indeed not easy, on the one hand, to face the pressure of powerful countries, on the other hand, to treat every country as fairly as possible, this job is definitely the most difficult to do. It is no wonder why more and more countries are reluctant to nominate their own people to be elected Secretary-General. It's simply thankless, and you can't take sides with your own country.
"I heard that the U.S. pharmaceutical company has developed a new drug that can cure the Ebola virus, and is now preparing to test it on humans, so there is no need for the U.S. to buy from us! As for Spain. That is a traditional ally of the United States, and the United States will naturally not die without help. Li Lan said.
If you talk about the countries that are most anxious about the Ebola epidemic right now. It's not the countries of West Africa, it's the United States and Spain. His words, the seemingly simple truth, hide a deep irony.
Ban Ki-moon could naturally hear Li Lan's tone, but where could he care about these things now: "At present, the new drug is being tested, and it is not clear whether it is really effective for the human body, so I still hope that the Somali side can give more consideration to the European people and the North American people." ”
"In that case, let the two countries apply to us for a purchase through the normal diplomatic channels. We also negotiate the price of the drug. Li Lan did not continue to dwell on this matter, but agreed to Ban Ki-moon very unhappily.
"Then it's up to you, and I will inform the United States and Spain of this matter as soon as the talks are over." Ban Ki-moon was also relieved when he saw Li Lan relieved.
"This trip, Mr. Secretary-General, I'm afraid it's not just for the sake of potions!" Li Lan asked.
"Indeed, you have agreed to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty since our last meeting, but it has been more than a year now. We have been unable to reach a consensus with the United Nations on the signing of the contract with your signatory representatives, which is very difficult for us. I came here this time in the hope of implementing this matter. Ban Ki-moon said frankly.
"Of course I know about it. But this is a relationship between the two sides, and I promise that I will not go back. Li Lan also knew this matter, but he deliberately dragged out time. Delay in signing the contract.
"It's a very simple matter, and there's only one last step left. It is to liquidate the nuclear weapons of Somalia. Ban Ki-moon liked Li Lan's attitude very much and talked about things. He also had a lot less to worry about, "As long as the inventory of Somalia's nuclear weapons is completed, the statistics are completed, and it is clear that Somalia will not produce new nuclear weapons and conduct nuclear tests, then the signing of the contract is a simple step." ”
If it is really before the ultimate authority, Li Lan will naturally have to shirk in every possible way, but he does not need it now, and the nuclear bomb silo has been built for a while, and the real nuclear test can be carried out in less than half a month.
After hearing Ban Ki-moon's words, he said with a look of embarrassment: "This is very simple, but nuclear weapons are a country's strategic weapons, how can outsiders come to count them?" Moreover, when the five permanent members signed this agreement, the United Nations did not carry out an inventory of nuclear weapons, and Somalia naturally could not accept such conditions. ”
Somalia just held on to this matter, and only then could it not reach a mutually satisfactory result, and Li Lan naturally did not let go so easily now, and besides, he did not have nuclear weapons for others to count, and then the whole world would know that Somalia actually did not have nuclear weapons.
"Actually, it's not that we're really going to count them, but we hope that the Somali side can come up with a list of nuclear weapons, so that the United Nations side can have a comparative number." Ban Ki-moon knows very well what this is all about, and the reason why such additional conditions are imposed on Somalia is that NATO countries are facilitating.
They want to see if Somalia has nuclear weapons and what scale they have, but now that time has dragged on, Ban Ki-moon really doesn't want to see the sword of Somalia's nuclear weapons hanging over his head.
So he also took the initiative to make concessions, Somalia resolutely did not let others see the nuclear weapons arsenal, then everyone can understand, he did not think much about it, but came up with the conditions when the countries signed it, as long as Somalia submitted a list of nuclear weapons, it would be fine.
When Li Lan heard this, he was also quietly relieved in his heart, if it was before, he really didn't know how to write this list, but now these are not problems, "If it's just a list, then it only takes a month, Somalia can submit it to the United Nations, but I hope that this matter is already the last item, and there can be no more incidents." Otherwise, I may have to reconsider signing this contract. ”
"Of course not, rest assured, as soon as the list is submitted, the contract can be signed immediately, and then Somalia will be one of the countries of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and Somalia will become the sixth country to legally possess nuclear weapons." Ban Ki-moon replied immediately.
"I have no objection to this mutually acceptable outcome." Li Lan nodded, but then his voice changed, and he said, "However, the number of nuclear weapons on the list may surprise the whole world a little. ”
"Why?" Ban Ki-moon even wondered in his heart, judging from the time of Somalia's development, even if it has nuclear weapons, the number cannot be too many, and being able to come up with 30 nuclear weapons is already the sky, is it very few?
Li Lan's next words completely overturned Ban Ki-moon's idea, "Although the number of nuclear weapons that Somalia has is not very large, most of them are quite powerful, and I do not hide that in my nuclear arsenal, the number of single-warhead intercontinental nuclear bombs with a yield of more than two million tons alone has reached 50, and there are hundreds of nuclear bombs with a yield of less than two million tons." It also has 10 nuclear weapons with a yield of up to 5 million to 10 million tons. ”
Li Lan, who seems to be fully revealed, is actually completely opening his mouth for the future nuclear weapons arsenal, if it is only a few dozen nuclear bombs, then he doesn't even need to open his mouth. Among the world's rogues, the real threat is those that can destroy an entire country's arsenal of nuclear weapons.
"What!" If it weren't for his good concentration, Ban Ki-moon would have jumped up, such a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons has surpassed Britain and France, even if it is many, much less than that of China, the United States and Russia, but it is also an extremely terrifying number.
Hundreds of nuclear bombs are enough to destroy the whole of North America, no wonder Li Lan has always dared to argue with the United States. Ban Ki-moon is now looking at the young man in front of him, and his mentality has changed to a certain extent.
Seeing Ban Ki-moon's reaction, Li Lan suddenly smiled, touched his head with a little joy, and said: "Actually, most of these nuclear bombs were made during the Somalia war, and at that time I had already decided that once the United States carried out a so-called tactical nuclear strike on Somalia, these Somali nuclear bombs would be sent to the United States in an instant for a jade crushing operation. ”
Of course, these words are false, but Li Lan needs to release this determination through Ban Ki-moon.
When Ban Ki-moon heard this, he almost broke out in a cold sweat, he did not doubt Li Lan's words, after all, at the time of the beginning, if Somalia really sent nuclear weapons to the United States, it would not be hidden anymore.
And he naturally does not doubt that Somalia has nuclear weapons now, but he is still quite surprised and skeptical that Somalia has so many nuclear weapons, and asked: "How can Somalia have so many nuclear weapons in just a few years." ”
"Nothing is impossible in this world, and at present, the domestic electricity for use in Somalia is provided by nuclear power. In just a few years, we've built more than a dozen large nuclear power plants. And all along, we have not had a power outage, and even the annual power generation has reached the top 10 in the world. Li Lan did not directly answer Ban Ki-moon's doubts, but used examples to prove it.
When Ban Ki-moon heard this, he also had a sudden sense of enlightenment, he has been measuring by normal standards, ignoring the rapid development of these people in Somalia, if it is really combined with the speed of development in Somalia, then even if it really has hundreds of nuclear bombs, it is not impossible.
However, this quantity, which was far from his idea, made him a little embarrassed now, he knew very well what this number represented, so he said very cautiously: "In this case, then everyone must see some of the evidence, otherwise hundreds of nuclear bombs, I can accept other countries and cannot accept it."
