Chapter 144: Tripartite Alliance

According to the information sent by China in the past two days, Li Lan found that Ethiopia had deliberately slowed down its troop buildup in the past two days. However, this situation soon disappeared, and there was a tendency to speed up the build-up of troops.

In order to find out as much as possible what the Ethiopian side was thinking, Li Lan called Lin Meiqi to come to the living room on the first floor, and he wanted to personally learn about this information.

In one day today, Lin Meiqi has walked in twice, and this time is the third time. The first time and this time, Li Lan was summoned in a hurry, and the second time was to send him materials. As a result, she didn't have time to go out for interviews all day today, straightening out the information, and running back and forth like this.

However, she did not slack off because of this, although in her eyes, Li Lan is usually a bit hippie, but in terms of business, she is very serious. And I won't go to her indiscriminately because it's okay. This also led to her doubting her own charm more and more. also thought many times about whether Li Lan was a man, or was completely fascinated by Natasha, a vixen.

After walking into the building that seemed mysterious to her again, she saw Li Lan meditating on the sofa.

With his head slightly lowered, he looked very pensive, and his face did not have the usual majestic look, but looked very much like the guy next door. Lin Meiqi didn't say anything, but commented on Li Lan in her heart.

However, her figure caught the corner of Li Lan's eyes, and when he looked up, he saw Lin Meiqi staring at him stunned, and asked a little strangely: "What's wrong with you, is there anything on my face?" ”

"Uh, no. Nothing. The nervousness and helplessness of being grabbed by someone in pigtails made Lin Meiqi look embarrassed. The cheeks on both sides were also slightly rosy.

"Sit down!" Li Lan pointed to the sofa opposite him and said. He didn't take Lin Meiqi's expression to heart just now. At this moment, he has been thinking about how the situation will evolve next, because these are all focused on the advanced privilege escalation task.

If Ethiopia does not plan to send troops, it is very likely that the target of the base mission will come to NATO countries, and this will require Li Lan to re-plan. Of course, if Ethiopia sends troops, it can continue to proceed according to the original jihua, and his troubles will be much less.

As for the issue of men and women, it's not that Li Lan doesn't want to, it's that he doesn't have any extra energy to focus on it now. One Natasha is enough for him, and he usually doesn't really want to provoke Lin Meiqi except for his mouth. What's more, this Lin Meiqi is an agent arranged here in China, and he will not have this heart.

"What's the matter with me?" Lin Meiqi found that Li Lan did not realize the embarrassment she had just had, and she was more or less disappointed in her peace of mind.

"I need the latest information from Ethiopia, especially about it and Puntland and Somaliland in the past two days." Li Lan was not in the mood to chat now, so she went straight to the point, "I know. The state has an intelligence division in Ethiopia, and there should be something I want in this regard. ”

Speaking of business, Lin Meiqi also completely recovered, and said very competently: "Not bad." This information has just been delivered, and I was going to get it later because you asked. I'll pass it on to you now. ”

"Okay."

Li Lan nodded, and then took out his mobile phone. And Lin Meiqi also quickly passed the information to him, and the file was not very large. There is not a lot of information either.

"In the past two days, the US side has held several secret talks with high-level Ethiopian officials, and we are not yet clear about the content of the talks. However, Somaliland and Puntland, these days, are very close to Ethiopian outsiders. Your enemy, most likely, will add a Somaliland. You need to be aware of this. ”

"I see." Li Lan nodded, looked at Lin Meiqi and expressed her gratitude very seriously: "Xiexie! ”

"It's the first time I've seen you so polite, I'm a little flattered." Lin Meiqi smiled, and her face was very useful.

Li Lan didn't rush to see the information that had just arrived, but put away her mobile phone, looked at Lin Meiqi with appreciation, and said slowly: "Shouldn't I say xiexie?" In such youth, in this place where birds do not lay eggs, no one appreciates your face, and you have no complaints about the waste of youth? ”

"First of all, this is a task assigned by the state, and secondly, I like it very much, and this is not a place where birds don't lay eggs in your mouth. At least, you can't see the cold society under the reinforced concrete buildings here. You created it, and I like the environment, so I should xiexie you. Lin Meiqi looked at Li Lan very directly, with a serious face.

"Then I still need your compliment. You like to stay here, and I welcome it, after all, I also appreciate beautiful things. However, if you don't want to stay here one day, I will also propose a change to the country to get you out of here. ”

"Maybe I won't be here for long, and it will be difficult for you to see me then." A trace of loneliness flashed on Lin Meiqi's face, and she said.

Li Lan saw Lin Meiqi's fleeting expression, and was a little curious in his heart, but he didn't want to explore it now, and said: "Maybe after I'm done with it for a while, the two of us should find a time to talk, chat, make friends, and enhance mutual understanding." ”

"Ugh! I can understand that you are asking me out? Lin Meiqi smiled again and spoke.

"Hehe, it's okay for you to understand it like this, anyway, it's my honor to be able to meet such a beautiful woman." Li Lan also showed a smile on her face.

"Okay, looking forward to a date with you, remember, it's only the two of us then." Lin Meiqi said very seriously.

"No problem." Li Lan nodded and stood up.

Seeing Li Lan get up, Lin Meiqi said goodbye very interestingly. In the living room, looking at her leaving, Li Lan had many inexplicable feelings in her heart.

The guest left, Li Lan got what he wanted, and immediately returned to the console. Transmitting the information to the base's database, he said to Natasha, "Take a look at this information right away and analyze all the possibilities." ”

Li Lan himself was not idle, he also watched.

Since yesterday, Ethiopian officials have been secretly contacting Puntland and Somaliland, and their operations are very secretive, and if it weren't for the Chinese intelligence services watching Ethiopia for some days, it would have been really difficult to find out.

This latest information also indicates that Ethiopia has begun to draw troops and has begun to send small troops into Somalia. For its part, the Air Force has also recently stepped up training and increased the deployment of ammunition and fuel to a number of airfields.

From these simple indications, it can be seen that the Ethiopian side has identified the imminent military operation. Judging from the current troop transfer, this time Ethiopia is using the most elite armored forces.

The entire Ethiopian regular army has a size of 200,000, an air force of 10,000, and a reserve force of nearly 300,000. There are six elite armored brigades, armed with more than 400 T-72 tanks, and a few T-80 tanks.

Ethiopia spends nearly 400 million yuan annually on this armored force, most of which is invested in armored forces. And this armored force is also the guarantee of Ethiopia's regional power.

According to Chinese intelligence, in order to combat Li Lan, Ethiopia Jihua dispatched three armored brigades, as well as an infantry division. In addition, the Air Force will put all the main fighters into it, mainly to deal with Li Lan's armored forces and to carry out air strikes on important targets.

It was a large-scale operation and the largest Ethiopian military dispatch since the signing of a peace agreement with Eritrea in 2,000 years. Previously, only from 06 to 10 did it send troops to help the Somali government fight sectarian militants, but not as many as this time.

From this point, it is also possible to positively attach importance to this matter on the Ethiopian side, and in order to be able to achieve the goal more quickly, the pressure has been reduced. Ethiopia has begun lobbying efforts in Puntland and Somaliland, particularly Somaliland, which is the target of Ethiopia's focused lobbying.

Because Somaliland still has a lot of military strength in this area, and because he is a local, he is very familiar with the situation here, and it is also very close to Li Lan's territory. Therefore, the Ethiopian military, seeking to obtain military support from Somaliland, united to attack Li Lan's territory.

At present, this information does not say whether Somaliland will agree or not, but China's intelligence department has given a prediction that there is a more than 70% chance that Somaliland will agree to Ethiopia.

First of all, Somaliland does not want to offend its neighbor, after all, the two sides have a lot of economic contacts. And internationally, it is also inclined towards the West. Secondly, Li Lan's rise also made Somaliland see a threat, especially Li Lan's victory over Bossaso in just a few days, which made the Somaliland side particularly nervous. At a time when Ethiopia had not yet found Somaliland, the Somaliland Government had ordered troops to be on high alert.

According to the content of this information, Li Lan also believed the estimates of the Chinese intelligence officers. The current situation of the tripartite alliance posture may not seem obvious, but it is enough to have such signs.

The enemy on the surface is not scary, but the unknown is the most frightening. Now that Li Lan is clear about the enemy's calculations, then he also has enough time to make a good plan.

However, from this incident, Li Lan once again realized the importance of intelligence, and his feelings about building his own intelligence organization became even more urgent. (To be continued......)
