In the open-top jeep, Natasha acted as the driver, Mohammadi sat in the passenger seat, and Li Lan and Farah were in the back seat.

The car drove slowly along the periphery of the territory, lined with seemingly haphazard walls, busy engineers, and flocks of camels and sheep foraging for food.

"Education, technology, and maximum cultural support. seeds, scientists, and maximum financial support. industry, jishu, as well as maximum military support. After getting into the car, Farah bluntly said to Li Lan: "These are the focus of our close cooperation in the future." ”

"Everything, you know? No matter how difficult it is to accomplish this, it will not be possible to accomplish it in one or two years. Li Lan gave a thorough answer, because he could not give anything but the military aspect.

"For the sake of future generations of Somalis, even for the rest of my life, I will persevere." Farah's face is firm, this is his lifelong wish and the motivation for his struggle, "People live for a lifetime, the greatest value is to know that they are alive, this is my value in this shijie." Otherwise, I'm still living a comfortable life in London, so why come back. Instead of having a dull life, it is better to do something meaningful for your own people. ”

Hearing Farah's words, Li Lan fell silent. He doesn't have this kind of awareness, he is not his angry youth, because he has always pursued rational patriotism, but after living for so long, he himself does not know what is rational patriotism.

Before, he didn't have enough liliang to think about what rational patriotism, and now? When he heard Farah say those words, he couldn't help but think about it.

When I came to Somalia by myself, I belonged to a black household that could no longer be black. Although these people around him regard him as the spokesperson of the Chinese government, he himself understands that everything is fake, and he has nothing to do with his own national government.

Patriotism used to be just lip service, but now he has a chance, a chance to really put patriotism into action. However, when he began to think about what he wanted to do for his country, he was in trouble. It's not that he's scared, it's that he doesn't know how to start.

He had reason to believe that the state must have known about his existence, but what was the attitude of the state towards him? Whether it was classified as treason or ignored, he did not know.

And what you do here will bring difficulties to your own country? What is the international perception of him? These Li Lan have no bottom in their hearts at the moment.

Now, the United States is strategically moving eastward, and although in actual action, the United States has not taken drastic measures and has always made small fights, Li Lan can clearly feel the pressure on the countries around his country. As a Chinese, he really wants to do something for his country, but he doesn't know what kind of actions he can take to help his country.

Oil, judging by the development of the present and in the short period of time in the future, is only a drop in the bucket for one's own country.

"For the whole of Somalia, although I am small, even if I can't complete it in this life, there are still my children and grandchildren, as long as my will is passed on, I believe that one day, Somalia will usher in a complete change." Farah, who was on the side, did not notice Li Lan's strange appearance and continued.

Li Lan, who heard this, suddenly opened his mouth, he doesn't have any decent strength now, but what about the future? As long as you can develop, you can help your country as much as you want. Strength is the most important thing, and if you have strength, you won't have too many worries about what you want to do.

"I admire your patriotism, this is a big game of chess, so big that I can't give an affirmative answer to all of them now." Li Lan responded with a little regret.

"Oh, Weishenme?" Farah wondered, "Could it be that my heart has not yet fully revealed that it has made you worried?" ”

"No, no, you're mistaken." Li Lan shook his head first, and then continued: "The things you are talking about must have a premise, that is, we have a solid territory to achieve it. To carry out these tasks in a reasonable name, whether it is education and science and technology, agricultural development and economic support, or even military development, these must be obtained in a reasonable name and in a reasonable and safe territory. Do you get the idea? ”

"What you mean is that we should have a certain representative government status, and then have a territory under our own control, as a capital to cooperate with your country." Farah instantly understood what Li Lan meant and confirmed.

"Yes, that's exactly what I meant." Li Lan nodded.

"Isn't your current territory good?" Farah wondered.

"No, it's not at all, and we don't have a certain political identity. As you know, my country has always refused to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, and my country is not willing to support a shili who cannot fully guarantee its status and security. Li Lan thought for a while and continued: "Previously, although we defeated the government army, that didn't mean anything, in the eyes of my country, it was just a small fight. In a battle with such a small amount of technology, there is nothing to brag about when it comes to victory. ”

"What can you do to get your country's strong support?" Farah wondered.

"When we take Bossaso under control and cripple the armed Liliang of Bontran, then it's about the same. Then we will have our own ports and big cities and establish our own provisional regime. When the time comes, the territory will be there, and the name will be there. After saying this, Li Lan deeply felt his despicability, because even he himself could not be sure of the attitude of his own country, and if he drew such a big pie, it was very likely that he would not get anything at that time.

"This, this ......." Farah didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, it won't take a year for us to have such a liliang, two years at most, and Bossaso will be ours." When Li Lan spoke, she deliberately bit us very hard.

"How can you have so much confidence, knowing that Bossaso is not a small city, and among all the cities in Somalia, it is also among the best. And it has its own port, which is one of the two ports in Somalia that can be connected to international standards, with huge commercial value and an annual throughput. Moreover, although Puntland is not as strong as Somaliland, it is not a soft persimmon, and its strength is not at all weaker than the nominal Somali government in Mogadishu. Coupled with the fact that each shili is mixed, it is not a simple matter to complete the occupation of Bossaso. Unless your country sends a large army, I think it is very hanging. Farah said.

"Hehe, my country has always pursued a defensive national defense policy, and unless it touches on the issue of territorial boundaries, it will not take the initiative to send troops to attack any country. However, just because my country won't come doesn't mean we can't. Li Lan smiled slightly, explained, and then pointed to Mohammadi in the front row and said: "Since we want to deepen cooperation, there are some things you can ask Mohammadi, and he will answer them for you in detail." ”

Before Farah could ask a question, when he heard Li Lan's words, Mohammadi in the front row said with a proud face: "According to the commander's Jihua, within a year, there will be 20,000 Somali soldiers with strict military training stationed in the territory. Each of them was more elite than the soldiers before them. And Commander Jihua in a year, at least two armored brigades, equipped with heavy tanks and advanced armored vehicles. By that time, we will have more than two hundred tanks and a certain number of armored vehicles, and we will have a sufficient number of armored corps. Now, in our territory, there is already a prototype tank and armored vehicle. ”

"Ahh The surprised Farah didn't know what to say for a while, he had already made a high estimate of Li Lan's strength before, but he didn't expect that hearing such explosive news today caused his brain cells to be a little insufficient, so he just said in a wooden voice: "What tank?" ”

When Mohammadi saw Farah's reaction, he was very amused and emphasized: "A very advanced tank, really advanced. ”
