In the room in the base, in front of the windowsill, on a bamboo rocking chair, the oncoming sea breeze blows, and the curtains are lifted like rippling blue waves.

Li Lan, who was dressed in pajamas, sat quietly in the rocking chair, looking at the fluorescent light reflected in the sky under the stars in the distance, and her heart flew away like the sea breeze.

Recalling the appearance of Somalia when he first started, and then to the situation where he is now in power, there is only sighing in his heart.

At the beginning, in front of Awei, all he could do was to resist desperately, and now there are not many countries in the world that can be put in his eyes, but those countries that must be put in his eyes, their own strength is still unable to compete.

For more than seven years, he has owned a country, and he should be very proud, but Li Lan has never had any proud thoughts about his power, and the only thing that makes him proud is those soldiers in the Red Police Corps.

Li Lan also thought about what he said on the first day for a long time, and he agreed with and opposed it in his heart, Somalia is no better than China, and if it wants to develop peacefully, the situation it faces is naturally different from China.

I am a little more radical, but under such a tough stance of NATO and other countries, once Somalia weakens, it will inevitably be more brutally suppressed.

And he thinks more about Russia, No. 1's words are very reasonable, Li Lan has always been very concerned about Russia, both a friend and a guard against this friend.

Compared with aggression and greed, the Slavic nation is also famous in the world, if it is the island country of Japan because of the environment and resources to create a sense of inner crisis and aggression, then the Slavs are more like innate.

I want to believe that a country is made up of such a people. Li Lan thinks that he can't do it, and I'm afraid that other countries in the world can't do it either. This has nothing to do with the regime in this country. No matter what form the ruler takes to seize the power of the state, the expansiveness in his bones will not change.

At the moment Russia needs Somalia. And Somalia also needs Russia, just because of NATO's existence, and one day when it joins, NATO will no longer target Russia, and the conditions that will prompt Somalia and Russia to come together will no longer exist.

If, however, NATO feels the tremendous pressure and takes the initiative to make concessions to Russia in order to win over Russia, the consequences may arise.

And Putin is an ambitious leader. The construction plan of six aircraft carriers also shows that Putin has reinvigorated the Soviet Union's ambitions, and a large number of new equipment has begun to enter service with the Russian army, and the replacement rate of old and new equipment has been advanced.

How can such a Russia see that there is one more threat in the whole world, and when there is no bond of interest between the two sides, but mutual fear, the so-called alliance and friends will inevitably collapse in an instant.

The signs of this seem to be emerging, with Somalia possessing hundreds of nuclear bombs. Coupled with the close relationship between Somalia and China, even Russia has become jealous. Although this is not yet obvious, the hesitation of Russia's help to Somalia already illustrates the relationship between the two sides. Things are starting to change.

This naturally made Li Lan quite unhappy, but he also understood that it was still necessary for Somalia to continue to maintain relations with Russia. And Russia does not want to lose Somalia as a foreign aid at this time.

But it's hard to talk about it in the future.

And these problems are all things that Li Lan must face and consider now. If it is really possible to unite Russia to defeat NATO in the future, it will naturally be the best. But to achieve such a purpose. But it is extremely difficult, after all, what he can think of, others can also imagine.

The game between countries is like this. And the meaning of the first is to let Li Lanan share a little, urge NATO not to transfer most of its energy to him, and let NATO continue to devote its efforts to dealing with Russia.

In this way, Russia can also feel the pressure at all times and will not distance itself from Somalia, so as to stabilize the relationship of the alliance. At the same time, it can also deal with the NATO bloc more calmly, and with Russia on the side to share the pressure, no matter what it is, it will be much easier.

And it will also allow Russia to continue its policy towards Somalia and make Russia feel less threatened by its future existence.

Today's form is very similar to the attitude of Britain, France and other countries towards Germany during World War II, while today's Solar-Russian relations are more like the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union back then. With such a lesson from the past, everyone understands that there is a stake in it.

If NATO is defeated together in the future, Russia will naturally think that it will have to face the pressure brought by China and Somalia at the same time, and now that China and Somalia are developing rapidly, this has made Russia feel deep pressure. It is inevitable to think that in the future, the defeat of NATO itself will be under the tremendous pressure brought about by the Sino-Somalia alliance, and then the form that Russia will face will be even more dangerous.

This is what Russia does not want to see, and the relationship between countries will be even more complicated.

"What should come is still coming."

went around and around, but there was no safe result, and Li Lan's thoughts gradually emptied.

"What are you thinking?" At this time, Lin Meiqi walked over, squatted behind Li Lan, wrapped her arms around his neck, and asked.

"You're finally done talking?" Li Lan did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Well, it's getting late." Lin Meiqi said.

"What did you talk about?"

"Say you bully me a lot......"

However, just as Lin Meiqi was speaking, Li Lan was suddenly stunned for a moment, and Lin Meiqi, who was deliberately pouting, also noticed Li Lan's strangeness in an instant, and her petty words stopped, and asked a little worriedly: "I'm just joking with you, are you angry?" ”

Who knew that Li Lan suddenly smiled, got up directly from the rocking chair, and in Lin Meiqi's somewhat puzzled eyes, picked her up, walked towards the big bed in the room, grinned, and said, "Then I will bully you well and let you see your husband's ability." ”

……

Nearly two hours later, Li Lan carefully got up from Lin Meiqi's hands and feet, put on her coat, and walked out of the room, when the door of the room closed automatically. Lin Meiqi on the bed slowly opened her eyes, and a little struggle flashed on her lazy face. He looked like he wanted to get up, but his eyes were full of hesitation.

"I couldn't help it. Flower heart carrot. After nearly ten minutes of heaven and earth, Lin Meiqi muttered, and seemed to have given up the plan to get up, pulled up the blanket and wrapped her head directly.

And after Li Lan walked out of the room, he didn't go straight to the control platform as Lin Meiqi imagined, and when Lin Meiqi was talking to him before, he happened to receive a notice from his assistant: The first task after the ultimate permission appeared.

Li Lan didn't feel sleepy at all, waiting for Lin Meiqi to fall asleep. walked directly into the control platform, opened the control panel, and sure enough, in the task list, a row of small characters appeared on the originally empty list.

Ultimate Privilege Task 1: The side of the couch allows others to sleep soundly.

Mission Description: Sovereign territory is sacrosanct, and if you want to become a great power, you must not allow any danger to appear around your territorial sovereignty.

Mission requirements: The base has given the basic guarantee of territorial security, and has drawn a 400-kilometer warning zone outside the boundary of the sovereign territory, so the commander has the obligation to ensure absolute control within this warning circle. Ensure that when there is danger close to the cordon, you can make the defense force like an arm.

Mission accomplishment conditions: Within three years, it is guaranteed that there are no NATO military bases within the base warning circle.

Quest Reward: Addition of a major construction sequence for a major item in the exclusive main base. This makes it possible to produce and build two different units at the same time. (Note: If you randomly select a ship item, the ship's production efficiency will be doubled.) ）

Mission Failure Penalty: None. (Note: If you can't complete three tasks, core permissions won't appear.) ）

When Li Lan finished reading the content of the entire mission. His face was wonderful.

As the assistant said, when he arrived at the ultimate authority base, he would no longer force Li Lan to accomplish anything. This also seems to have paid off, and there is no penalty for failing the mission. But the line of annotations in parentheses made Li Lan feel that no punishment was heavier than this.

And the content of this task made him even more speechless, before he had thought deeply about the situation that Somalia would face in the future, but he didn't expect that the base would give him this one in the blink of an eye.

At that time, he was even inclined to the construction that No. 1 gave him, and he also wanted to be honest, but now the base once again gave him a fierce drug, and the rich task reward made him unable to refuse at all.

For the current construction mode of the base, Li Lan has already felt that the growth of strength is slow, although it is only a random addition to the construction list, but no matter which major item is rewarded at that time, it will be a big profit for him.

There are only seven major items in the construction of the exclusive main base, including the Red Alert construction project, the defense project, the combat vehicle project, the aircraft project, the ship project, the personnel project, and the superweapon project that has just appeared.

No matter which of these seven major items appears to be built at the same time, it will play an incomparably huge role in the growth of strength, after all, whether it is an industrial factory or a replica factory, with the current base funds, it will not be able to be built in a short period of time.

And once there is an additional construction list, it will play a very key role in the production of this major item.

For a long time, the only thing that bothered Li Lan about the base was the word efficiency, not to mention that other countries in the world are now building their military industries very slowly, and it takes a long time for an airplane and a tank.

But one thing that has to be said is that this is when all countries take into account non-war situations, maintain the minimum of military-industrial enterprises in order to reduce the consumption of military spending, and also maintain the technology of the military-industrial complex and train skilled workers.

Once a war breaks out, if the state machine runs in the mode of war, it will be a different scene, and then it will not be a matter of money or not, but all kinds of resources will be given priority to the military, and when the time comes, the production of aircraft, tanks, and warships will not take into account the economy and people's livelihood, but to win the war, and the more efficient it is, the more efficient it is.

The energy that bursts out of this efficiency will be immeasurable, why do we say that the real potential, this is the war potential, the accumulation of a country's industry and technology, how much power can burst out in wartime.

Just like Russia, don't look at the current Russia, a lot of old equipment, but that is taking into account the Russian economy, slowly producing new equipment, training soldiers, and gradually replacing old equipment.

If it comes to wartime, it will not be a main battle tank in a few days, but dozens or even hundreds of tanks off the assembly line in a day.

The same is true for the United States. Don't look at the current American supercarrier can only be produced at the Newport shipyard, but know how many workers this factory has trained. In times of war, with the industrial capacity of the United States, it is possible to build multiple shipyards that can build supercarriers at any time. Coupled with a strong reserve of skilled workers, it is not surprising at all that even if several aircraft carriers are started at the same time.

The same is true for other countries, don't look at a lot of new equipment is rarely large-scale equipment troops, that is all considering that there is no need to spend such money in peacetime, just let the soldiers adapt to it, learn how to operate, and a lot of the new equipment produced is also mothballed on the spot. By the time of the war, these equipment warehouses were opened. By conscripting those who have been discharged from the army, they can quickly arm a huge army.

And these, to put it mildly, Somalia does not have anything at all, and this is also the reason why Li Lan wants to develop Somali industry vigorously, after all, there is no doubt that the base is advanced, but the efficiency is really difficult to see.

In the case of conscription, even with the reinforcement of the replication factory, the base can recruit two hundred soldiers a day. It is only 70,000 in a year, and once a full-scale war breaks out, this amount of troops can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

In the case of South Korea's military service system, once a full-scale war breaks out. The arsenal was fully opened, and hundreds of thousands of militarily trained troops could be armed at once. And Somalia will face a very embarrassing situation, no one!

For this reason, Li Lan also very much wanted to strengthen the reserve force building of the garrison troops. But this is a long road after all, and the combat effectiveness of the garrison. It really doesn't work, even if the help of the garrison is really urgently needed at that time. That's almost cannon fodder.

For example, there are countless countries in the world that can easily reach one million troops, but Somalia is not ranked, let alone China, the United States, Russia and other countries that are armed with tens of millions of troops at will, the horror of war potential will be incomparable to that of any country.

Even India is not something that can be bullied by just one country, even if this country does not have a perfect industrial system, but everyone believes that India will be the country with the most great power potential in the future, and will become an emerging power after China.

There is only one reason, that is, the potential of land and population, as long as India completes the construction of the national industrial system, India, with a population of one billion, is enough to overwhelm any country in the world except China, the United States and Russia.

But whether it is population or land, Somalia does not have anything to show for it, the only thing that makes the outside world jealous is the extremely mysterious industry of Somalia, and those soldiers who give opponents a headache.

Without these two points, even if Li Lan is really the reincarnation of a god, it is just someone else's dish, nothing at all.

Compared with all the countries in the world, Somalia is fortunate because it has a base, but it also has a very unfortunate point, that is, it does not have the potential for all-out war at all.

Whether it is the speed of development or the efficiency of production, even if it can be improved in the future, it will only be doubled, which will not help at all.

So when Li Lan saw the reward of the task, there was no reason to refuse at all, this was a tempting cake, if this reward was put on the personnel item, combined with the special effect of the replication factory, that day would be more than 400 elite soldiers, and a year would be nearly 150,000 people.

In this way, Li Lan will also be able to close the gap between the war potential of other countries.

If it is placed on the construction unit, the effect is not bad, first of all, the efficiency of establishing the recovery of funds will be doubled, and it only takes more than half a year to achieve the capital recovery plan that originally took more than a year to complete.

For the construction of other buildings, it will also speed up the construction efficiency of various weapon units, and in contrast, it can also improve the production efficiency of weapon units in the base.

However, the gain is also proportional to the effort, and the difficulty of this task is also immeasurable.

Because the existence of NATO military bases around Somalia is not a matter of a few, but the fact that even if there is only one base, the NATO side will definitely not withdraw.

Not to mention that the current situation is that NATO is desperately trying to expand its influence in Africa, and maybe after a while, NATO's decentralization system will enter Africa, and then it will be placed on Somalia's doorstep.

In this case, to say it with your mouth, it is simply a hemp rope to mention tofu, and you don't need to mention it.

Other conventional means are almost impossible, and the simplest means is war. But today's Somalia is simply not capable of competing with NATO. It is also impossible for China and Russia to give him direct help in this regard.

Maybe the current NATO countries are also waiting for the end of their lives and want to concentrate their forces to destroy themselves.

Faced with this task that he loved and hated. Li Lan's mood can also be described as varied, and the difficulties in it. It was much higher than every task he had ever encountered.

"Assistant, this is what you said about the mandatory task after the ultimate permission, but the difficulty is completely opposite to what you said." Li Lan complained weakly.

"Theoretically, it's really not that difficult?"

Hearing the assistant's answer, Li Lan really didn't know what to say, "If such a task is not difficult, then what other task is considered difficult?" ”

"If this task is placed under ultimate authority, it is very difficult. But now that the master has the ultimate authority, there must be a better way to solve it, and there is no punishment for failing the mission. ”

The assistant's indifferent tone instantly made Li Lan cry and laugh a little, "Then tell me, do you have a way to complete this task?" ”

"Ugh! Although the assistant thinks that he is very smart, it is only a program, and the assistant does not have such an ability to think about problems. ”

"Forget it. You also don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and talking to you about this is also playing the piano to the cow. Li Lan could only shake his head and order: "Open the map around Somalia." ”

Soon. A huge map appeared in front of Li Lan's eyes, and in the map, Li Lan could clearly see the military bases set up by various countries around Somalia.

Djibouti is home to a special forces unit of the US Army. Kenya also has a naval port, while Ethiopia has an air base. Other than that, there is no American existence.

France has a military base in Djibouti. There is also a military base in Ethiopia, and these five military bases are the objectives of this mission.

If it weren't for the independence demanded by African countries at the beginning and the fact that the US African Strategic Command was not allowed to set up bases in Africa, Somalia would have been surrounded by NATO countries long ago.

The current successive visits to Africa by NATO countries may bring about the most basic change in the current format, but so far, there are still many African countries that still do not want whites and lean towards the Somali side. In addition, Somalia now has the medicine to fight the Ebola epidemic and is also trying to participate in the aid of African countries, which has won a lot of goodwill in Africa.

Coupled with the fact that everyone lives on a common continent, blacks, who have been quite disliked by white people for hundreds of years, are more emotionally inclined to be close to Somalia. Otherwise, Li Lan would not have had such an easy time today.

However, on the other hand, it is difficult to open up the situation in Africa, which will also make the United States and NATO countries cherish the situation here even more, and it will be more difficult to get the other side to give up these bases.

However, Somalia cannot brazenly adopt military means, and the road of diplomacy will not work, and when one possibility after another is ruled out, there is only one way left in Li Lan's mind, and it can be said that it is the only way to accomplish the task.

As he thought more and more questions, the ideas in his mind became clearer and clearer, and when all his thoughts were focused on this only way, Li Lan directly took out a pen and paper and slowly drew a relationship diagram on it.

While thinking, he also revised the above relationship network, and at the same time, he also asked his assistant to call up the information and intelligence in the database many times, and kept comparing the information in the library of the intelligence department.

This work lasted for nearly two hours, and it was not until about two o'clock in the morning that Li Lan came up with a relatively specific draft plan.

"Assistant, scan this plan, upload it to the staff database, let them analyze it, and refine every step of the plan."

"The scan is complete, and the content of the text is being uploaded."

Putting the draft of the plan aside, Li Lan looked at the time, and then walked out of the control platform, and when he returned to the room, Lin Meiqi was already asleep, and after carefully going to bed, Li Lan slowly closed his eyes. (To be continued......)
