Khamenei, the residence of the Supreme Leader of Tehran, the supreme theocratic leader of Iran, and the spiritual leader of the 100 million Shiites of Islam, cordially received Li Lan.

As Iran's supreme leader, Khamenei has not given up his sacred rights, and although he has begun to groom a successor over the years, he will remain the country's supreme leader until his official death, because in Iran, the divine power is in the hands of only one person.

Li Lan's visit to Iran was naturally warmly welcomed by Iran, because after all, the only country in the world that can stand closely with Iran in spite of international attitudes is the Somali Federation.

Li Lan has also been identified by Khamenei as Iran's eternal friend, and more than half of the followers of Islam in the Somali Federation have also greatly deepened the relationship between the two sides. The most commendable thing is the deepening trade relationship between the two sides.

At the beginning, Iran sought to relax international sanctions against Iran and replaced it with a more moderate president, but the result was not very good, on the contrary, Somalia could provide Iran with the advanced technology and scientific and technological products that Iran needed most, and the attitude of the Iranians immediately reversed. Somalia can provide Iran with the technology and products it needs, and only oil is squeezed by state sanctions.

However, as a rising oil producer, Somalia became the world's fourth largest oil producer when its oil production exceeded 10 million barrels per day, behind the United States, Saudi Arabia and Russia, and the number of annual oil exports ranked among the top five in the world.

Iran is even more determined to stand with Somalia, because as long as the three countries are united, it will be enough to compete with the United States in the international crude oil market. According to the international demand for crude oil, once the three countries are united. If oil exports are stopped for a few days, the international oil market will inevitably be in turmoil. Unless the United States is willing to pump its own oil stockpiles to fill the hole in international demand.

At the beginning, the United States imposed economic sanctions on Russia, the biggest killer was oil, the international crude oil market fell again and again, making the Russian economy miserable, and finally under the alliance of the three countries, the oil exports were stopped for half a month, which forced the price of oil to rise to a stable level. (The above is pure nonsense, do not tie it to reality.) ）

Although the halt to oil exports for half a month has also brought a lot of economic losses to the three countries. But in the long run, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and at least the United States realizes that the trump card of oil is starting to be a little less useful.

After all, the three countries of Solo-Russia and Iran export more than 20 million barrels of crude oil every day, such a huge amount accounts for one-fifth of the world's daily oil demand, and without this quarter of oil, it only takes ten days and half a month to cause an oil crisis in most countries.

However, there are very few places in Somalia that use oil throughout the country, and Somalia is all nuclear and electrified transportation. In addition to the military, it is the country that least needs oil. Nowadays, even trucks in Somalia are powered by electricity mixed with solar energy, all fuel-based vehicles. It is not accessible within the Somali Federation.

In recent years, Iran has also accelerated the development of electric energy vehicles, becoming the third largest exporter of electric vehicles in Somalia, behind Russia. Reducing domestic oil demand. There will be more oil to export, and the price of oil will be stabilized. Naturally, this oil export will bring steady benefits.

And this benefit is also based on the cooperation of the three countries on oil strategy. For the sake of common interests, the relationship between the three countries has always been good, and as Soi, which is mainly Islamic, the relationship is naturally closer.

It can almost be said that the two countries are inextricably linked, both economically and militarily.

Over the years, Li Lan has also visited Iran many times, gradually deepening the relations between the two countries, and high-level Iranian officials, including Khamenei and the Iranian president, have visited Somalia more frequently. It is precisely this kind of close exchanges that continue to deepen the cooperation between the two countries.

This is Li Lan's fifth visit to Iran, and he is still personally received by Khamenei, and Ahmadinejad, Iran's hardline leader Ahmadinejad, who has been re-elected president of Iran, accompanied him to meet with Li Lan.

After taking off the mask they wore in front of people, Li Lan and Khamenei, who entered the private space, looked like friends who had forgotten their years.

In fact, since the first time the two met, they showed sympathy for each other, Li Lan's status in Somalia, in addition to the supreme leader of the government and the army, the people's respect for him is more to the level of faith, the Somali Federation is strictly very similar to the theocratic state, but it is higher than any theocratic country, because Li Lan in the hearts of the citizens of the Somali Federation, almost beyond a qiē exists.

Khamenei, on the other hand, is based on Shia Muslims and has a spiritual leader, to put it bluntly, Khamenei is only an apostle of Allah and will never be able to surpass Allah. Li Lan is all-in-one regardless of religion, and even the tribes of the primitive sects in Africa have begun to rank him with the gods, and even still have the momentum of supergods.

Faith has naturally become the most worthy topic for the two to talk about, and the friendship that has developed from this has become much closer.

"Seeing your red face, I am sincerely happy for you, you can make a complete recovery."

Sitting next to each other, Li Lan took Khamenei's hands and said with a happy face.

"Thank Allah, if it weren't for a friend like you, we wouldn't have had the chance to meet again today." Khamenei said excitedly.

"We're friends, aren't we? Your recovery is the greatest reward for me, as a friend, I really hope that you can live a long life, Iran is inseparable from you, and the brotherly relationship between Soi today is also inseparable from our joint efforts. Li Lan said.

Khamenei's health has not been very good, and he almost didn't survive because of cancer last year, but fortunately, Li Lan sent him a potion to control cancer cells, which allowed him to successfully complete the operation.

Therefore, now Khamenei is full of gratitude when he sees Li Lan as if he is seeing a life-saving benefactor.

"Iran is the greatest luck in the world to have a brother like you. The Soi friendship will also continue in the long run. Khamenei said very seriously.

There are not many people who have lived to this age and have mastered the Iranian state for decades, and there are not many people who can move Khamenei, and even now that the US president is in front of him, he can deal with it calmly. But in front of Li Lan, Khamenei has never been calm, because in his concept, he and his country owe too much to the young man in front of him.

Although the current Somal-Iranian relations are mutually beneficial and win-win, all the urgent problems of Iran are resolved by Somalia, and the Western world has carried out an all-round scientific and technological blockade on Iran, and Somalia has helped Iran solve these troubles, and the benefits brought are only trade between the two sides.

In his view, this is completely Somalia paying for Iran, and there are no two common points between countries in this kind of behavior.

"It's also Somalia's luck." Li Lan said.

Khamenei smiled heartily, turned around and took out a document from behind him, and said to Li Lan: "This is Iran's new arms purchase plan for the next three years, you take a look at it first, and if you can, I will place an order in the customer system." ”

Li Lan didn't take the text, but said directly: "I don't need to read it, you can place an order directly." ”

Khamenei, who was about to take out the base's customer system, stopped and said: "What I am going to buy this time is not ordinary. ”

"You can buy anything you want except nuclear weapons." Li Lan was even more straightforward.

"What about the aircraft carrier?" Khamenei said.

Li Lan smiled slightly, and said inexplicably: "The aircraft carrier Bouraut, which our navy has turned into a training ship, will sail into the Gulf of Aden and dock in your port after completing this training in the open sea. ”

Khamenei was a little puzzled by Li Lan's sudden words and asked, "Is there any connection between this?" ”

Somalia shocked the world two years ago by gifting the USS Karlin, which has only been in service for a few years, and now Pakistan is working to build its own carrier battle group.

After all, it has been antagonistic to the United States for so many years, and the Iranians have a deep grudge against the American aircraft carrier, and they have always wanted to develop a navy that can protect itself.

After two years, Iran has finally made up its mind to formally purchase an aircraft carrier battle group from Somalia, so that Iran can also work with Pakistan's aircraft carrier battle group to blockade the Arabian Sea if necessary.

However, the amount of money required for an aircraft carrier battle group is really astronomical, and although Iran's economy has grown rapidly in recent years, it takes a lot of determination to create an aircraft carrier battle group.

In the process of convincing the top level of the Iranian government and people from all walks of life, the Iranians also sent many naval personnel to Somalia for training and learning how to use aircraft carriers. Now, Khamenei has also officially put the plan to build an aircraft carrier battle group on the agenda.

"The aircraft carrier Bourau is now a training ship, but we don't need a training ship, but I won't sell this aircraft carrier either." Li Lan said.

When Khamenei heard this, his hands shook, he thought that Li Lan was rejecting him, and the spirit on his face dimmed a lot, but Li Lan's next words made him instantly resurrect on the spot, and his fighting spirit was high.

"The aircraft carrier is not for sale, just because I already plan to give the aircraft carrier Bour to the Iranian Navy."

"Is this true?" Khamenei was a little incoherent, not expecting such a big reversal, which made his heart beat faster. He thought about Li Lan's reaction when he learned that he was going to buy an aircraft carrier, but he didn't expect that this would be the case, and now he didn't need to envy Pakistan.

"It's true, of course, and I wouldn't cheat on my friends." (To be continued......)
