After thinking in his heart for a moment, Li Lan shook his head.

The existence of the base must not be known to other shili, even if they are seen. Moreover, once the buildings in the base are known by other shili, it will inevitably cause a great shock, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will not be taxes, but directly come and rob them.

Now it's not a question of whether or not to pay taxes, but you must not let other shili know about the situation inside the base. Even if the net is broken because of this, Li Lan will not hesitate to do it.

If you look at this matter, maybe this month's time is really an opportunity.

One month, it is 900,000 yuan of base funds, and Li Lan is sure that within this month, if all the troops are recruited and defense units are built, it will be enough to build an army with a scale of no less than 2,000 people. (Speed!! ）

The problem now is that he needs enough food to feed this army. The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first.

According to the current food consumption of the mobilized soldiers, under the same intensity of training, when there is a surplus of food, two and a half catties of food per day, and when there is not too much grain left, each person will be reduced by half a catty to one catty.

If the latest 100 mobilized soldiers come out, the entire base plus Li Lan will have a total of more than 200 people, and a group of military dogs to raise, which will require more than half a ton of food to be consumed every day. If the number of soldiers exceeds 2,000 in the future, then more than five tons of food will need to be consumed every day. It's equal to half a truck.

This time, Li Lan only got three truckloads of food for the head of the armed forces, and if he gave food to 2,000 people, it could only last for five or six days, and a little saving could last for eight or nine days. Then we will run out of food.

"Give me the mobile phone number of the Minister of Armed Forces." Li Lan said.

After obtaining the mobile phone number of Awei, the head of the armed forces of Bossaso, from Ahmed, Li Lan took out the mobile phone that was transformed from the control panel of the base and dialed the other party's mobile phone.

After connecting, Li Lan spoke: "Mr. Awei, I hope my rash phone call did not disturb you. ”

The Minister of Armed Forces, who was still wondering who the unindicated number called, also heard that it was Li Lan, and when he heard the other party's kind words, he immediately said politely: "It doesn't matter if you come to the East, as long as you have anything, you can call at any time." ”

"With your bearing and wisdom, he will rise again and become the leading figure in Somalia." Talking to people and talking to ghosts is a skill that Li Lan has cultivated in the domestic environment. Maybe you don't need to learn at all, as long as you mix in society for a few years, it will be natural.

"Do you know, Mr. Minister, when I heard my subordinates come back to talk about the tax issue, I suddenly felt embarrassed, this kind of thing should have been handed over by us on our own initiative, and I ask you to remind you that this is our dereliction of duty. So be it! Tomorrow when they go to pull the second batch of cement, I will ask them to bring 100,000 dollars as my tax for this month. Li Lan said the figure of 100,000 US dollars very seriously, he believed that the other party did not look down on the 100,000 US dollars at all, and after he refused, he would have something to say next.

"No, no, so that our relationship is not far away, I said a month is a month, as a friend, this is my reward to you, and it also makes you have enough preparation."

Unexpectedly refused, Li Lan also pushed the boat along the way, and said regretfully: "Then thank you Mr. Minister for taking care of you, and I will naturally have some heart tomorrow." However, I have one more thing that I need the help of Mr. Minister. ”

"Friends are supposed to help each other, and as long as I can do it, I will never let my friends down." Hearing that there were still gifts to receive, Li Lan could hear Awei's excitement from his mobile phone, and he almost patted his chest to ensure Li Lan's question.

"Alas! You should also know that, Mr. Minister, there is a problem with education in Somalia. Li Lan stopped at this point.

"If that's the case, then I can only say I'm sorry, and now the government is helpless about it." Aweel didn't dare to say anything about this, because if he wanted to improve the education problem, he would need to invest too much money. Basically, few people are willing to do it.

"No, you misunderstood, I want to build my own school, and I can solve some problems such as teachers, but the food problem has always bothered me. Although it was a pleasure to make a deal with Mr. Minister today for thirty tons of food, it was not enough at all. Li Lan said.

"Does food have anything to do with schools?" Hearing Li Lan say that he wanted to build his own school, Awei breathed a sigh of relief, but questions soon came out.

"Oh, because I'm in the middle of nowhere and I have to walk a long way for my students to come to my class, so I want to provide them with food, so the food is starting to run out again. And the dry season is coming, and I want to store a little more food for these children during the dry season. lest they face the situation of having no food to buy. Li Lan explained.

"Well, how much food do you need?"

"I want as much as I want, and I can give the full price. Of course, if this deal is done, there will naturally be a heavy gift to give. ”

Hearing Li Lan's big tone, Awei on the other side of the phone was a little silent. He was a little suspicious of Li Lan's purchase of grain, but he didn't expect Li Lan to rebel against that aspect, because this was absolutely impossible in his life values.

However, after thinking about the pros and cons of this matter for himself, Awei immediately dispelled his doubts. He doesn't have a lot of food, but this is Bossaso, and many ships carrying grain dock every day. There was no suffering at all for him, it was just a change of hands.

Buying from merchant ships and then selling them to the other party can not only make a profit, but also get the arms sent by Li Lan. And judging from the value of the two gifts sent by Li Lan, this Oriental man was very generous, and he was also very greedy for the heavy gifts in Li Lan's mouth.

"Since you are really helping the Somalis for the education of the Somali people, then I will leave the food matter to me, and I will call you immediately when the time comes."

"Okay, that's trouble."

Ending the call with Awei, Li Lan said: "It's so easy to settle, I still have a lot of rhetoric to show." ”

"I think that bastard is still excited." Ahmed on the side gloated.

"Oh, you seem to know what I'm going to do?" Hearing that Ahmet seemed to know his thoughts, Li Lan couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't guess anything, because it's a clear thing, and the most scarce thing at the base right now is food. And how could the commander who owns the base compromise with such a figure, resistance is inevitable. Ahmed said.

"Yes, everyone here puts me in soft persimmons, I want to see how many catties and taels they have." Li Lan nodded, as long as there was enough food, he would have enough confidence.

"However, I have a suggestion, a time to develop, we are not enough to work against the government army and other shili. Now that Mr. Mohammadi has joined us, it is time for him to help the commander share something. Ahmed thought for a moment and said.

"Oh, what do you think?" Hearing Ahmed's words, Li Lan looked a little surprised. He suddenly felt that Ahmedby had matured a lot when he first came out, and it was very different from the previous character who only knew how to follow orders.

"When the government forces come to investigate, we can claim that our armed forces are all under Mr. Mohammudi's subordinates, and this is also owned by Mr. Mohammudi, and then the special tax policy for foreigners in Somalia cannot be put on the head of the commander, so that the commander will have more time to prepare."

"That's a good suggestion, but, Ahmed, do you feel any difference in yourself?" Li Lan thought this suggestion was very good, but today Ahmad gave him a very wise feeling.

"Nope!" Ahmed wondered.

"I found you smart today." Li Lan said.

"My subordinates have always been like this!." Ahmed didn't feel anything strange about his actions.

"Huh!" Li Lan smiled, looking at Ahmed with an inexplicable expression, he didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and thought for a while: "By tomorrow morning, all the one hundred newly recruited mobilized soldiers will come out." When the time comes, you form a reinforced company, you come to be the company commander, and the rank is promoted to captain, and as for the positions below, you yourself watch the appointments, and when the time comes, you can hand over the personnel establishment into a book to me. ”

"Yes."

Seeing Ahmed, who was not excited about his promotion, Li Lan patted him on the shoulder, smiled, and turned back to the base.
