Chapter 382: Shocking Oil Resources!
Li Su looked in the direction where the voice came, but it was Elizabeth, who had not been seen for a long time.
"You're welcome." Elizabeth was followed by a lot of people, they all had the logos of various rescue organizations on their clothes, and some were journalists from all over the world like Elizabeth, and now there is a consensus in the international community that Gadaro in Somalia is now the most stable and safe place in the region, so the international rescue organizations have set their sights here.
Elizabeth was the only one who had met Li Su, and she naturally acted as an intermediary to introduce the double reversal and reveal the intentions of the rescue organization.
"They are afraid that the food will be attacked when it passes through other places, because your Gadaro is in the middle of Somalia, whether from the south or the north, the international relief supplies need to pass through the territory of the warlords, and by their nature, they will inevitably snatch these supplies, and then our rescue plan will be empty words." After a brief introduction, the head of the international rescue organization told Li Su that he and Elizabeth were from the same country.
Li Su has been preparing for this question for a long time, he has been thinking about this problem, after discussing with Li Ran, they have a preliminary plan, Li Su said: "Please don't worry about this, now that Gadalo Airport is under construction, your planes will be able to arrive here directly, and you must have heard about the port of Obia, we are planning to build that harbor, so that ships can directly dock in that place, so that you can also transship goods through there, As for security, I will send the military to escort the whole process. ”
"Well, if that's the case, there won't be any problems, just wait for Chief Hatton to announce the opening of the airport, and our first relief supplies will be here." The person in charge nodded again and again, supporting Somalia for all these years. He had never encountered a warlord in charge, and it was through the protection of the United Nations that relief supplies could reach the Manchurian militia in Somalia, and even then, he had to bear the risk of being attacked by the armed forces, and the supplies that were brought in were likely to be taken away by them.
After discussing the aid for a while, the rescuers wanted Li Su to take him on a tour of Gadaro to assess the security situation here, and Li Su took them for a walk around the small town of Gadaro and went around the refugee camp.
Today's Gadarobi has changed dramatically from the beginning. The obvious difference from other parts of Somalia is that the Somali people here do not have private firearms in their hands, and their safety is all protected by Li Su's troops and police. This law is common in Somalia, otherwise it would not have been possible to govern these anarchic Somali people.
And the heads of this law enforcement agency are all Terminators, and they catch criminals one by one, and they don't have to go for three or four months. The Somalis in Gadaro have learned the power of law enforcement, the crime rate has plummeted, and there is a level of peace rarely seen in Somalia.
After law and order stabilized, some savvy Somalis started small businesses in Gadaro. The market in the town prospered, and the number of vendors selling clothes, vegetables, fruits, and daily necessities increased considerably. They brought these supplies from various places to resell here, but the only thing missing was the firearms, because Gadarrow clearly stipulated that guns were forbidden to the people, and Li Su also set out to crack down on arms smugglers, except for him and the trading Trove and Charles, no arms dealer was allowed to sell arms in his area, otherwise if it was found, it would be confiscated immediately.
"Chief Hatton has to say that after coming to you, I feel as if I have left Somalia and have come to another country." Elizabeth photographed the prosperity of Gadarrow from time to time, and other reporters were looking for their own news spots.
Li Su welcomed these reporters, because their interviews would bring him a lot of benefits, and the arrival of the first rescue organizations has already said something, "This is just the beginning, we will show you a different Somalia, it will be a peaceful and beautiful place, you will not have to worry about being attacked." Li Su said to everyone.
Listening to Li Su's words, and seeing the reality of Jia Daluo with his own eyes, the rescue organization personnel and reporters were very satisfied, and some reporters interviewed refugees, Li Su did not stop him, he believed that these refugees could distinguish between good and evil, and they must be grateful to Li Su.
After turning Gadamaro around, everyone went back to the office, and now they were completely relieved, and the head of the rescue organization said: "Chief Hatton, we want to set up a station here, and let some personnel stay here, I hope you can provide us with some convenience, so that we can coordinate relief supplies and verify the situation here at any time." ”
"Naturally, there is no problem with this, and I will set up a special area for your rescue organizations and journalists to stay here." Li Su understands that the matter of relief materials is only now completely finalized, and they trust Li Su very much now.
Li Su adopted a positive and cooperative attitude, which made these people have a lot more favorable feelings towards the Peace Front, and they happily chatted with Li Su about the form of Somalia.
In this process, reporters and media are reporting this matter throughout the process, and the camera is also following all the way, Li Su was surrounded by reporters and asked a lot of questions? Li Su also answered them one by one, and now in order to get in touch with the doubts of all countries in the world about the peace front, he also took a lot of pains, after all, the construction of Somalia in the future will still need the help of other countries.
After interviewing basic security issues, a reporter suddenly asked: "Chief Hatton, after the defeat of Al-Shabaab and the continuation of the northward flight, the security situation in this region has changed a lot, and the International Petroleum Organization has been able to secretly conduct oil exploration in the central region of Somalia, and one of the Petro-Canada companies claims that they have found a huge oil field in the area between Gadaro and Obia, with estimated reserves of 130 billion barrels, which is very large. It also confirms the rumors that Somalia has huge oil reserves a long time ago, and some economists claim that Somalia will be the new Middle East, what do you think about this issue? ”
Because of the war in Somalia for many years, oil exploration in Somalia has been stagnant, which has caused the oil exploration in Somalia to be zero, and the amount of oil produced is also zero, but after Somalia and Puntland in northwestern Somalia declared autonomy in the nineties, these two states began to invite oil companies to carry out oil exploration in their territories, and fortunately an oil mine was found in the disputed area where their territories coincided, although the oil reserves of this mine are not large, but it also confirmed that Somalia has oil, and this has also led to the strategy of country M's return to Somalia, but in the face of the chaotic central and north-south, although the oil companies are eager to do so, they are still at a loss, and they do not dare to explore deeply, and they have been looking at the central region.
Faced with this question, Li Su showed a charming smile, this question is why he chose to fight the world in the central region, because the place where the Shabaab has been entrenched for many years is actually a cornucopia, in the world of the Tang Empire, Li Ran has long carried out accurate exploration of Somalia's oil reserves, this data Li Su has long been familiar with, he declared: "First of all, correct a question, the exploration of the International Petroleum Organization is not secret, because we have been monitoring, but they don't know, The second Canadian company made the mistake of having oil reserves of 470 billion barrels instead of 110 billion barrels in central Somalia, which is the Kuwaiti region of Somalia. ”
"470 billion barrels?" A reporter from country M exclaimed, "Where did Chief Hatton get this data?" If that were the case, Somalia would overtake Venezuela as the world's largest country with proven oil reserves. ”
"You heard me right, as for the specific reserves, I also got the news from a professional oil exploration team, I believe their data will not be wrong, and they may disclose this data in the near future." Li Su replied that Canada is just a small company, according to Li Ran, Somali oil is very easy to exploit like oil in the Middle East, and exploration is of course very easy, and the exploration teams of some big countries may have already obtained this data and have been concealing it, Li Su deliberately pierced this honeycomb this time.
"And what does Chief Hatton plan to do with this oil?" Another reporter asked.
"Like Somaliland and Puntland, we will invite international oil companies to come and extract oil, and the profits from the oil will be used to improve the living standards of Somalis." Li Su replied.
"But Chief Hatton, you are not representative of the Somali government, so how can you qualify to exploit this oil?"
Li Su looked at the reporter and said: "This place was taken by my tribe from the hands of Al-Shabaab, and the transitional government can only be curled up in Mogadishu all these years, and nothing can be done, I will not expect the officials of the transitional government to change Somalia, this is also a question I want to say today, like Somaliland and Puntland, the Peace Front will not follow its leadership until he can have the strength to rule this country, please call my tribal ruling area Roland in the future." ”
As soon as Li Su's words fell, the office fell silent, and then a heated discussion erupted, Li Su's declaration officially meant that the Peace Front would not follow the leadership of the transitional government, and Somalia had added another warlord, and no one could be sure whether this new beginning, or a new chaos, could not be determined.
