PS: Before 12 o'clock, there are three more watches, and today it is 12,000.

――――――

Just as Li Lan began to inspect the satellite launch base, another press conference was held in the Bagua City after a lapse of eight days.

This time, more reporters came and the notice took longer. As early as three days ago, the Freedom Alliance announced to the major media in Shijie that there would be a very important announcement in three days. The Somali reunification peace talks eight days ago have already attracted enough attention, and naturally no newspaper is willing to miss today's press conference.

In just three days, more than a dozen passenger planes landed at Bossaso Civil Airport, and those reporters who came to the connection, under the arrangement of the staff, also moved into Bagua City early.

The venue chosen for this press conference is a hall specially used to hold diplomatic announcements, and the facilities and layout inside also have a bit of the demeanor of a great country.

At eight o'clock in the morning, after all the reporters gathered, Farah's figure appeared in front of them again.

Like last time, Farah didn't talk about the uselessness, and the press conference got straight to the point at the beginning: "Through the efforts of many scientific research departments under the Freedom Alliance, we have achieved great results in the field of aerospace experiments, and we now have the ability to put satellites into space orbit." ”

Very simple words, without any explanation, made the whole press conference boil instantly. These reporters, who came to Shijie from various places, thought that this press conference would be about the issue of peace talks on Somalia reunification. But he didn't expect that the other party would release such a bombshell.

In the venue, many people have already set their eyes on several reporters from the Chinese media in the front row. The implications are obvious.

Ignoring the shocked reporters, Farah continued: "Aerospace science jishu. It will help us to control the weather and survey the geological and marine conditions. With the efforts of many scientists, we started from scratch one step at a time. We stepped out of our limitations and made great breakthroughs. This is the most important moment for every Somalis. We are determined and confident to make the most beneficial contribution to all mankind in the field of aerospace and aerospace. At the same time, we also hope that we can cooperate and communicate with Shijie countries in the field of aerospace and strive to achieve more benefits for all mankind. ”

Farah's voice fell. A reporter couldn't help but stand up and ask: "Hello Mr. Farah, I'm a reporter from Kyodo News, I would like to ask, when did you start researching aerospace technology?" Has it received scientific and technological support from other countries? ”

Farah replied, "I can answer this question very clearly. However, before answering, I would like to emphasize that aerospace belongs to all mankind, and every country has the right to peacefully develop its own aerospace technology. We've been in this area for many years. I've always been in the jishu theory, and announcing this news today just wants to tell the whole shijie about our efforts in this field. Flying is the dream of all mankind. We have lagged behind in this area for almost a century. I also believe that our peaceful use of space will not affect anyone. Nor will it be directed at anyone.

As for the second question, I can also answer you explicitly. There is no one to support us, everything is on our own creation. Please ask questions next time. Don't look at us Somalis with suspicion. Africa has lagged behind for thousands of years, but that does not mean that it will be forever behind. We Africans will also use our own hands and scientific accumulation to create our own brilliant civilization. Thus, slowly integrate into the Shijie family. The purpose of our independent air-space experiments is to show everyone that Africa is not all ignorant and backward. ”

The crowd did not withdraw their skeptical glances because of Farah's answer, because they thought they were not stupid, and they naturally could not believe such a thing. What kind of place is Somalia that has the ability to research its own aerospace technology, if it were replaced by South Africa, it may not be nothing. However, even a country cannot be perfected, and there are large areas of land that still belong to the agricultural and pastoral civilization, and have not undergone comprehensive industrial construction and have not had solid scientific accumulation.

Even if the Somalis had some genius, there would be no way to launch satellites and build launch vehicles at such a high speed. You don't see, South Korea is such an advanced country, in terms of industrial and civil fields, it is at the forefront of shijie. And such a country, in order to develop its own aerospace technology, what kind of arduous road has it has traveled, even now, Luo Lao is still varied, and it needs to rely on Russia's jishu to support.

Now, how can a small Somali say that it has independently developed its own aerospace technology to help them? It's like telling them that a caveman pilots a bird of prey into the sky.

It is true that this so-called Somali Free Alliance has no weak military strength, especially in the surrounding areas, and its influence is enormous. But this is not enough for these journalists, who are both far-sighted and knowledgeable, to put aside their previous notions and believe such facts.

In their hearts, if China or Russia are fully behind this matter, they will naturally not have so many doubts. But when it comes to their own research, the most intuitive psychological reaction to these reporters is to be careful to blow the bull into space.

Farah was not a fool either, and he could naturally see the undisguised skepticism in everyone's gaze, but he didn't want to explain anything, because there was no need to explain it at all. Anyway, the main meaning has already been conveyed, and he doesn't bother to care about it or not. If I had to explain, it would not cost more words if the air and naval forces of the territory appeared in the future. It's better to let them be self-righteous like this, and if they can understand as much as they want, they are not afraid of being smeared by these people.

"Excuse me, when will you launch? At that time, will the launch site be opened? The AP reporter stood up and asked, a sneer in his eyes.

"The launch time is set for the day of the peaceful reunification talks, and as for the launch site, we will only invite trusted friends to visit this grand event, and it will not be open to others for the time being." Farah didn't bother to look at her and replied.

"Then I don't know, who are your so-called trustworthy friends?" The AP reporter continued to ask.

"Naturally, they are the ones who look up to us and sincerely make friends with us. As for those who have sarcasm in their words and do not leave the spy without a word, they are naturally not our friends, nor will they be the objects of our invitation. Farah replied calmly.

His words made the female reporter of the Associated Press face a little blue. But she didn't argue about anything, everyone else said so, once she argued, didn't it mean that her heart was empty! Of course, she is not a simple character to be sent here.

"Now that you have the capability to produce your own launch vehicles and satellites, are you also telling everyone that you already have the capability to produce ballistic missiles?"

For the American reporter to point out so sharply, the whole press conference fell silent, and they have been doubting the truth of the matter. However, the other party's announcement of this matter with such confidence does not seem to be joking with his reputation. But if it's true, that's a big deal.

As we all know, ballistic missiles and launch vehicles are of the same origin, and a country that has the ability to independently send satellites into space means that it is not far from this country having ballistic missiles. Because as long as the satellite is replaced with explosives or warheads, designed to re-enter orbit, and dropped on the target, it will become a ballistic missile alive. If it is replaced with a nuclear warhead, it is a nuclear missile.

If this is true, it will not be much smaller. It is very likely to cause a great shock in the region, and no country can calmly face the fact that an African country has ballistic missiles except for those related to its vital interests. Regardless of Jishu's maturity, this ability alone is enough for everyone to pay attention to.

In particular, if the Somali Free Alliance really has ballistic missiles, it will be tantamount to saying that the whole world has another strategic jihua that can threaten its global military deployment. Military bases in the Middle East and Africa will be in a state of insecurity.

Faced with such a high-profile question, everyone held their breath and wanted to hear what the other had to say.

"We have developed aerospace science for the benefit of humanity, the peaceful use of outer space, and for our monitoring of the oceans and geology. As for the ballistic missiles you mentioned, if everyone can have the idea of peace, I believe that they will not threaten anyone. Farah said.

"Does that mean that you already have a ballistic missile experiment?" The Associated Press reporter was unrelenting.

"I don't have any more information on that here." In fact, Farah wanted to say no, but this sentence was specially explained by Li Lan, and he could only obey the order. He knew very well that such an answer, which made outsiders reverie, would make the territory fall into a state of unpeace. However, he trusted Li Lan's arrangement, and although he had not yet figured out the intention of this move, he was even more convinced that Li Lan was definitely not untargeted.

Sure enough, this answer made the already somewhat solemn atmosphere of the venue even more tense. Whether or not the other side is working on ballistic missiles is a major determinant of the attitude towards Somalia in the future. Just now, the fact that the Somali Free Alliance is so close to China and Russia is enough that many people don't like to see this happen.

However, no matter how tense the atmosphere was, the press conference continued. Farah was also very patient and answered every question asked by the reporter.

When the press conference ended, this blockbuster news went viral throughout Shijie.

Somalia seems to be on the rise! (To be continued......)
