Chapter 400: America Is Not Terrible
PS: Today's four watches, are regularly updated, as soon as the day dawns, gorgeous is about to leave for his hometown, everyone to count the tickets to wish me a smooth journey?
——————
In the conference room on the first floor of the base, Somali government officials gathered.
The center of the whirlwind left Bagua City and gradually shrunk into a tropical atmosphere, and Bagua City, which had been ravaged by war and nature, looked like a deserted city.
Roadside billboards, landscape trees, green belts...... Most of them were destroyed by the whirlwind, leaving behind a mess all over the ground.
Fortunately, the buildings in Bagua City are all new, and the structure of the houses is also very stable, with layers of walls that offset a lot of wind power, and the loss of Bagua City is only in terms of the environment. Because of the war, the citizens all went into the bomb shelters, and there were no casualties.
However, the aftermath of the work must also be arranged, and now there is still at least a force 10 wind outside, and the wind is gradually weakening, and it is expected that in another two hours, the wind and rain will be exhausted. It is precisely because of this that in order to ensure efficiency, especially during the war, many things have to be arranged immediately. That's why we have this meeting.
As the current supreme military commander and leader of the people in Somalia, Li Lan naturally wanted to attend. War is a matter of life and death, but outside of war, the issue of people's livelihood is also the most important, and its significance is not the result of war.
Today, tens of millions of people throughout Somalia are watching the government and the war, and many of them are already like frightened birds, and it is difficult for Somalis, who had hoped for a little peace to live, to accept such a war. Back then, it was the United States that ruined a peaceful life. Today, it is the United States that has ruined the life it had envisioned. It can be described as a new hatred and an old hatred, and the pen is full of blood and tears.
Far from it. Take several air-raid shelters in Bagua City as an example, although many government officials are appeasing, the radio and television media in them are also constantly stabilizing people's hearts. However, since the beginning of the war, it has been almost a week, and every air-raid shelter has been filled with angry people, if it were not for the persuasion of Red Police soldiers and Janissaries at the exits of the bomb shelters. Those people have long since run out of the city to find the Americans desperately.
Therefore, the more this time comes, the more Li Lan needs to stabilize the situation. He was pleased with the reaction of these Somalis and admired for their integrity. But don't say they don't have weapons, and even if they do, there's no need to send them to death. If these civilians are really allowed to go to the battlefield, it will not increase the combat effectiveness, but the burden of the Red Police Corps, and the combat effectiveness will only decrease. will not increase.
Another point is that the more such people are, the more Li Lan hopes that they will live a long life, and now Somalia is a new country. It should be full of vitality, and it also needs a group of enthusiastic civilians to compose. This is the country and the people he needs.
"This season's grain was fully harvested before the cyclone made landfall, however. As a result of the war and the whirlwind, food income this season is 3.5 percent lower than last year. ”
"As a result of the enemy's missile attack. Hundreds of houses outside the city collapsed, and each road had different damage. There were five collapses on the highway section, and after emergency repairs, vehicles are now passable. Fortunately, no civilian casualties have been reported so far, and the evacuation was in place. ”
"In the past seven days, all industries have stopped, the economic losses are very huge, the residents of Bagua City and Bossaso City, food, clothing and shelter are all provided by the government, and the No. 157 grain warehouse has been opened for emergency use."
"Camels and goats in the pasture......"
"In order to ensure safety, the mining department has completely closed all minerals since yesterday, and a large amount of raw ore is still piled up on the mountain, and it will not be transported down the mountain until the war is over and the mining industry is restored......
……
At the beginning of the meeting, each official reported on the recent situation, which seemed to be a topic related to the five senses of the war, but in fact it also had a great impact on the war. Roads, ores, factories, a large number of industries and transportation have been affected to a great extent, and in a short period of time, this negative impact is not visible, but over time, there are a lot of problems.
The economic industry that has been built up with great difficulty will also fall into a huge crisis. Li Lan did not want to see these things, and he wanted to win this war, but also do his best to keep the industrial foundation that he had built up with great difficulty.
In particular, in terms of finance, the Somali shilling, a new currency, has been issued by the Central Bank of Somalia, and Li Lan does not want the war to hit the already fledgling economic market.
In the final analysis, it is necessary to end the war as soon as possible.
However, this is just his expectation, how this war will end is not something he can decide, what he can try to do is to fight for it as much as possible.
After a brief briefing, Li Lan looked at Kahin, who had a slightly sad look on his face, and asked, "Kahin, has the resettlement of your clan been completed?" Have you been affected by the war? ”
Kahin, the former president of Somaliland, was tested by Li Lan in many ways, and finally took him to his side and became a high-ranking member of the Somali government. In addition to this person's ability, Li Lan is also very concerned about his status as the former president, which is of great benefit to winning the hearts of the people.
And Kashin is also a very pragmatic person, and he cherishes the opportunity given to him by Li Lan very much, and he is also very serious about doing things. With this, he was greatly appreciated by Li Lan.
"Thank you for your concern, hundreds of thousands of people in our tribe have been settled, and I will try my best to restrain them and not mess around." Kahin, who was worried about the future of Somalia, immediately came back to his senses and replied when he heard Li Lan suddenly ask him a question.
"That's good!" Li Lan's eyes swept over the people in the conference room, and found that more than forty percent of the officials had the same melancholy on their faces as Kahin. Most of these officials are from the original Somaliland and south-western Somalia, as well as young people who have just been promoted. And these people all have a problem, they are not with Li Lan for a long time to develop and grow their power. On the other hand, some elders such as Farah and Mohammadi, although their faces were a little serious, did not show melancholy, and they obviously had a certain confidence in their country's armed strength.
Seeing the seriousness and melancholy on everyone's faces, Li Lan was not angry, but was very pleased.
These people in front of them are the pillars of all aspects of Somalia in the future, and they need these people to complete the governance of this country with Li Lan's expectations for them. Therefore, in the selection of these people, every link is very strict.
Somalia is a very backward country and has no place in the international arena. As one of the senior leaders of a country, under such tremendous pressure from the coalition forces, the battle line advanced to a place only about 500 kilometers away from them. For others, I am afraid that they are already thinking about how to escape, or they are already in a panic, and the expression they show is not serious, nor melancholy, but the panic that has no idea. This is also human nature, because once the coalition forces come over, none of these people in front of Li Lan will end well.
If you don't have a certain amount of heart and willpower, under the pressure of the United States, I am afraid that you will be on the verge of collapse. You don't see a country that the United States wants to fight since the Gulf War that has had a good end, and none of the government officials that the United States wants to exterminate have had a good end. Everyone in the conference room knew very well that the city was ruined. The fate of government officials in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and other countries is very likely to be the end of their lives, and it is very rare that they can still maintain their composure and perform the work assigned by Li Lan.
However, in the face of these subordinates in front of him, Li Lan did not have a good way, and this situation could only be changed by victory. I think that at the beginning, in order to build up the self-confidence of Farah, Mohammadi and others, he did not take them to visit the weapons and equipment of the Red Police Corps and the weather of the troops, and shaped the self-confidence in his heart with the facts. At this time, naturally there is not so much time to take it slowly, and there is a shortcut in front of them, to reverse their mentality with a victory.
"War is a test of a nation's patience, and I believe that you have already experienced too much. The war at hand will be the last one to take place in our country, but it will definitely not be the last war in Somalia. Do you know what I think? Li Lan slowly stood up, walked along the oval-shaped conference room, and slowly moved his steps as he spoke: "Let me tell you, the initiative in the current war will change hands sooner or later, and my goal is to double the territory of Somalia to more than one million square kilometers." Our neighbors often come to our house with weapons and show off their might. It won't be long before I'll let this neighbor remember that sooner or later I'll have to pay it back. ”
Li Lan's voice was sonorous and powerful, matching the resolute look on his face, and the words he said were full of weight.
The effect of these words was very obvious, and everyone's hearts soon had a new change, and they all considered the meaning of Li Lan's words.
"So, I hope everyone can cheer up, this war in front of us is just a small test, you can see it as a stepping stone to our rise, the United States is not as terrible as everyone imagined!"
"But what if we hurt the Americans and launch a nuclear strike directly on us?" As soon as Li Lan's voice fell, Farah stood up, his face full of worry.
"Let go ......" Hearing Farah's question, Li Lan seemed to be about to say the word "relieved", but a quick knock on the door sounded, interrupting his follow-up.
Under Li Lan's nod, after the guard opened the door, Natasha walked briskly and came to Li Lan's side, with a happy face, and muttered a few words in a low voice.
After Natasha finished speaking, the slightly tense expression on Li Lan's face unconsciously soothed, and after half a sound, he specially said to Natasha: "I didn't hear clearly, say it out loud!" (To be continued......)
