Chapter 191 Methods for Dealing with Toxic Waste
The view and atmosphere were indeed charming, but the group didn't stay long.
Lin Meiqi gave them the candy she carried, which she had developed in Somalia. Every day, she carries some candy on her body, not for herself, but for the little ones. Because every candy can be exchanged for the most heartfelt smile of the children.
Before Li Lan got into the car, he just instructed Falah, who was following behind: "You can build some sports facilities, and first, we can also decide what everyone wears, and we can't always let them go barefoot, especially children, let all schools pay attention to it, and give each child a pair of shoes." ”
After giving this instruction, the convoy once again moved along the seashore.
In the car, Li Lan changed her previous silence, took out the agreement from the mezzanine on the inner wall of the car, put it in Lin Meiqi's hand, and said, "You take a good look." ”
"None of this is a secret, we already know it." Lin Meiqi flipped through casually and spoke.
"Are you still angry about my methods?" Li Lan said.
"No, I'm not angry anymore." Lin Meiqi said very calmly.
"Then I see you've been sullen lately." Li Lan still couldn't hold back and asked.
"I'm bothering about my personal affairs, and it has nothing to do with you." Lin Meiqi's eyes glanced at Natasha, who was like kraft candy, turned her head out the window, and replied.
Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be about to cool down again, Li Lan never spoke again.
The convoy soon reached its destination, but stopped at a great distance. Once again, everyone got out of the car, no binoculars were needed. On the beach in the distance, piles of debris can be faintly seen. Under the washing of the waves and the refraction of the sun, patches of silver light flashed.
Took the telescope that Farah handed over. Li Lan looked at it slowly.
Farah, who was on the side, spoke at this time: "One of the root causes of piracy is the imperfect legal system in Somalia. If there is a complete legal system, then before they rob, many people will be afraid of the power of punishment such as prisons, and discourage the idea of doing evil. The number of pirates can be reduced a little. Secondly, after the establishment of the Transitional Government of Somalia in 2004, due to the lack of strength of the Government, there were some organizations in the country that wanted to take advantage of the turmoil in Somalia in order to pursue their own interests. At the same time, the external shili also took the opportunity to infiltrate. For example, dumping nuclear waste into Somali waters and plundering fishery resources have made a fortune in Somalia. When Somalia descended into chaos, few in the international community cared, driven by interests, and some even wanted Somalia to disappear from the face of the earth.
Somalia is a Muslim country, our people profess Islam, and the Koran clearly states that there is no looting and plunder. And the actions of those pirates are completely contrary to the beliefs of the vast majority of the Somali people. Those so-called pirates are in fact outright terrorists. They are well organized. Some of them are well-educated, and they all have the support of the people behind the scenes.
It is highly irresponsible for some media to attribute the root cause of Somali piracy to "poverty". Because Somalia is not a developed country in the first place, there was a civil war from 1991 until 2004. Somalia has gradually descended into a state of warlord anarchy, but for 15 years there have been no pirates in Somalia.
Although piracy in recent years has brought shame on Somalia. But I am optimistic about the prospects for Somalia, which has never given up. Somalis have never given up, and we are still trying.
18 years. Some countries and companies dump toxic and nuclear waste in Somali waters and plunder fishery resources on a large scale. Two years ago, a very shocking thing happened here, I saw 15 fishermen go to the sea to fish, and shortly after they landed, 9 of them died, and they all vomited a lot of blood before they died, and the other 6 people all had a strange disease, which has not been cured to this day.
The countries that dump waste are likely to be the backers of the pirates, who want to destabilize Somalia so that people don't have time to investigate their environmental damage. A country can recover quickly from piracy and civil war, but it is very difficult to recover from the damage caused by environmental damage, and this is what is happening in Somalia right now. More than a pirate nuisance, the extent of the damage to Somalia's ecological environment deserves more attention, and Somalis are paying a terrible price while some countries and the media are turning a blind eye to it.
Many of these nuclear wastes were swept up from the bottom of the sea during the Indian tsunami, rusty oil drums, all kinds of black seawater, and countless fish and shrimp died every day on the edge of this hundreds of kilometers of sea. The beautiful beaches are gone, the beautiful delta is full of garbage, and the abundant fish and shrimp resources are gone. These things are sins, and if they are not disposed of, they will affect future generations. Toxic substances affect our health, they change our genes, and I wonder what will happen here in the future. ”
"Then Weishenme didn't say it before?" Looking at Farah with a sad look, Li Lan asked.
"Does the chief have a solution?" Farah asked.
Li Lan didn't answer, just shook her head gently.
Farah continued: "I like the country of China, in the history of Zheng He's voyage to the West during the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He has arrived in Somalia and many other countries, and the fleet he led came with respect, did not plunder anything, never sold slaves, and brought cultural exchanges. The Chinese navy was very strong during the Ming Dynasty, they were fully capable of occupying any country in the Indian Ocean region, even a wider territory, but they didn't, they didn't occupy any land in Africa. China is a country worthy of respect, and Chinese culture is a culture worthy of respect.
I have always believed that Somalia needs Chinese warships to escort it, and there is no upper limit on Chinese warships, 30, or even hundreds, the more the better, and we welcome them. China is the most credible peaceful liliang, and China's participation in the escort mission in Somali waters is consistent with China's status as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, showing Shijie the image of a major country willing to be responsible.
But I didn't expect that China would pay so much for us Somalia, let you come here, let us eat, and let us feel warm. From the moment you accept refugees, all of us Somalis will stand firmly by your side, it is you who bring us hope, and we will repay you with everything we have.
The final solution to the problem of piracy is in the hands of the Governor and ourselves. Only the creation of Somalia's own navy, Liliang, is a good antidote to the problem of piracy. After all, the pirates are plundering the Somalis themselves, and the Somalis feel obligated and responsible to defend their own country. It is hoped that one day the Chinese Navy will provide personnel training, weapons and equipment for the Somali Navy to help Somalia build its own navy.
With the Navy's Liliang, no one dares to come here to dump garbage at will, and the root of the problem can be solved. Then, let's figure out how to deal with that stuff. ”
Hearing Farah's words, Li Lan didn't explain anything, and no one in the entire territory knew that he had begun to build a blue-water navy, and no one knew that the air force had slowly developed. He didn't want to talk about it before, and now he doesn't want to explain too much.
When the time comes, as soon as everything comes out, let them directly see, touch, and feel it in person, which is many times better than the effect of directly explaining it now.
"There will come a day."
"I trust sir, because you have never let us down for more than a year." After hearing Li Lan's words, Farah said confidently. This kind of confidence, thanks to the miracles that Li Lan has been constantly creating, the construction of the territory, and the defeat of Ethiopia, have already convinced everyone from the bottom of their hearts. Even if Li Lan said that he would unify Somalia tomorrow, they would not have any doubts. This belief has reached the level of blindness and worship.
If one day, Li Lan is gone, it is very likely that they will not even be able to find the direction to go. In addition to the subtle influence of the base, it is also because they have become accustomed to Li Lan's leadership.
"Huh!" Li Lan smiled lightly and said, "Tell me, how much nuclear waste and chemical waste there are in this coastline that stretches for more than 100 kilometers. ”
"If you count the offshore ones, it's no less than a billion tons." "The water surface alone is estimated to be no less than six or seven hundred million tons, and the perennial seawater shock, plus the garbage that continues to be put into the water, is no less than three or four hundred million tons." ”
"Yes! One billion tons, if calculated according to the normal processing price, is one trillion US dollars, and then counting the cost of salvage, then this price will rise a lot, and no country is willing to bear it. Li Lan said.
"After all, it is the amount accumulated by many countries in Europe for decades, and it does cost a lot of money to deal with these things, to clean them up completely." Farah also knows this, and if it was easy to handle, no one else would have pulled it here.
"I'll think of a way!" Speaking of this, Li Lan's heart moved, and said, "I'll go back to the car first." ”
With that, he handed the telescope to Farah and walked quickly to the car. After getting into the car, Li Lan closed the car door, and he was the only one in the car at this time.
"Assistant, is there a way for the base to dispose of nuclear and chemical waste?" Just now, I suddenly thought of the magical base, Li Lan has not asked his assistant about this matter, maybe the base really has a way.
"In the case of nuclear waste and chemical waste, the commander can recycle it directly through the ore refining plant, so that the scrap can be recycled and reused. Moreover, nuclear waste and chemical waste can also bring a certain amount of financial income to the commander. (To be continued......)
