Regarding Farah's words, Li Lan wanted to shout: "I have nothing to do with my country." ”

However, Li Lan was not stupid enough to really shout out, whether it was Farah or Mohammadi's misunderstanding of him was very deep, so deep that even if he told the truth, the meaning would be distorted.

"Oh, what kind of attitude do you see in my country?" Li Lan asked.

When Li Lan was testing his views on the international situation, Farah did not think much about it, and replied directly: "Your country has been continuously supporting the construction of Somalia since the 60s of the last century. Although this railway is now abandoned, the Somali people of Weishenme have never forgotten China's help to us.

Railways are only one aspect, there are many institutions in Bossaso, all of which were supported by China back then, and according to my statistics, China has supported us in no less than 100 hospitals alone, all over various cities in Somalia. There are also a large number of schools and educational facilities, as well as a large number of public entertainment venues, such as the opera house, which were built by the Chinese with the help of the original Somali government. This is incomparable to other countries, even Italy, which has helped us far less than you.

It's just a pity that after more than 20 years of turmoil, less than one-tenth of these things have been preserved. Therefore, in the hearts of the Somali people, the Chinese have always been highly respected. At least nine out of 10 Somalis give a thumbs up when they talk about China.

When I left the UK, my first stop was to go to China, just to feel the civilization and charm of the Chinese.

In recent decades, China has never stopped providing aid to African countries, and I have seen tens of billions of dollars in monetary aid every year. In these countries, what China gets on the surface is only planting land and some minerals, and there is a big gap between the income and what it pays.

As one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, China will certainly need the support of a large number of countries to unite with Russia in order to compete with the three permanent members of the United States.

Shijie's cake is so big, the United States has always been lukewarm to African countries, and is not obsessed with winning over these small African countries, while your country has taken a fancy to these small countries, so your country can often reap a lot of benefits while paying such a huge amount of money every year.

Your arrival has given me a glimpse of a new round of action that your country seems to be about to embark on. Your country's leadership has just undergone a major change, and we will be the focus of your country's development. Perhaps, this was foreshadowed six or seven years ago. In the northeastern corner of Somalia, in the Tara region of the Gulf of Aden, your country's oil companies have been extracting oil for several years.

Even the United States is very concerned about the oil resources of Somalia, and the Gulf of Aden, which is on the verge of it, is of great strategic significance to be able to control this important shipping lane, which is the busiest in the world. As long as Somalia can be developed, the strategic significance involved in it is worth your country's contribution.

We Somalis just want a stable life, and as long as the wishes of the majority of Somalis can be realized, even if China comes to garrison us, we are very welcome. ”

As soon as Farah's words fell, Li Lan was silent for a moment, and said, "Weishenme, you conclude that I am doing things for my country?" ”

"Huh! Isn't that something obvious? Farah smiled slightly, pointed to the weapons in the hands of the guards behind Li Lan, and said: "The Type 97 automatic rifle, China's export-type individual weapon, China's helmet and combat boots, and even the combat gear are all China's standard equipment. Of course, none of this is important, because it is not difficult to obtain such equipment in the international arms market, and the Canadian Defense Group has close ties with China's military industrial enterprises, and many of China's individual equipment can be purchased in Canada. Many international arms dealers also have a large amount of this type of equipment in their hands.

So, these are not factors for me to judge. I'm a person who likes weapons very much.,I also have a certain amount of research on the weapons of Shijie countries.,I don't dare to say I'm proficient.,But the level is not low.。 Whether it is the weapons you sold before, or the weapons and equipment of these soldiers today, they all have one thing in common, that is, the workmanship is very standardized, and it is definitely the product of large military enterprises, and it is definitely not something that some small workshops can produce.

But it doesn't matter at all, the most important factor is that there will be no one to come to Somalia to develop the so-called armed shili, and it will be the kind that has been carefully prepared and planned for a long time. From the first time we met, I concluded that the soldiers under your command are not trained by some group of individuals, they are all regularized military training, and in Somalia, to put it mildly, there is no such place. Not at all like the traditional Shili in Somalia, pulling up people, that is, soldiers.

These soldiers of yours have shown me what it means to be a soldier and what it means to be ordered and forbidden. Whether it is your look or your actions, showing that kind of respect to you is by no means a fake. I don't doubt that these people are Somalis, because the Somali language is a very remote language, and you don't have such a similar accent when you learn it.

And their respect for you must come from a long time together. I had been speculating about what made them respect you so much, and then when Mohammadi chose to be with you, I had already guessed.

Without the backing of a single country, it would be impossible to raise so many people without a single country. ”

"I have to say, you are a very wise person." Li Lan did not deny it, nor did he directly affirm it, he understood that people are often like this.

Farah continued: "Actually, I had a deep conversation with Mohammadi a long time ago. It was after he chose to go with you, and he told me everything you said to him. You know, it's weishenme? ”

Li Lan glanced at Mohammadi, who had a calm face next to Farah, and said loudly: "I'm listening. ”

Farah took a sip of his tea and continued: "My contact with Mohammadi was five years ago, not long after I arrived in Bossaso. After getting to know him for the first time, I had a good impression of him, because every time he went out of town, he would bring a lot of candy with him. To be honest, candy may not be a big deal in your country, but in Somalia, it is a luxury. And every time he went into the city to trade, he would take out some money and buy some candy to go back to the children in the village. And also teach them literacy, which has been rain or shine for several years.

Before you first came to Bossaso, Mohammadi told me a lot about you in advance, and I started to pay attention to you. And a little more than a month later, when Mohammadi came to trade with me with millions of dollars in ammunition, he made it clear to me that he decided to follow you in the future, even if it is a traitor, as long as it can change the face of Somali life today, he will admit it. And told me a lot about your territory, told me what you think, and your policy towards the Somalis.

I say this today just to let you know that Muhammadi persuaded me many times to be like him. Even if it doesn't, we need to maintain a close working relationship. I don't know if you instructed me to do so, but I choose to believe in Muhammadi. Because, he and I have the same ideals. ”

"Xiexie, you Mr. Farah." Muhammadi spoke after Farah's words were finished.

"Mohammadi never told me this, but I have a lot of trust in him, he is the first friend I met in Somalia and I value our friendship very much. I am very happy that he thinks of me so much. Recalling the scene when he first brought him to Somalia, Li Lan was a little emotional.

In response to Li Lan's words, Muhammadi nodded heavily to him, and everything was silent.

"Now that we've talked about it, let's get into our topic for today!" Farah Road.

Li Lan nodded, got up and made a gesture of please, and said, "I'm looking forward to it, but the next words are not suitable for sitting and talking, let's talk while walking, and by the way, let's see the development of our territory." ”
