The African Union took the lead in issuing a statement saying that the African Union expressed concern about Tanzania's efforts to unilaterally change its military power in the region, and that the modernization process of Tanzania's military has caused heavy military pressure on neighboring countries and will trigger a regional military race. The AU calls on Tanzania to abandon this controversial action and make the necessary contribution to peace in Africa.

The spokesman of the White House of the United States said strongly that any attempt by African countries to unilaterally change the balance of military power in the region will be severely sanctioned by the United States.

……

All of a sudden, all the countries with vital interests in Africa attacked Tanzania's military modernization process.

"Let them make a fuss, our people have been saddled with the reputation of being one of the least developed countries in the world for decades, these people have never asked us whether we live or die when we were hungry, and now finally the Chinese agree to help us have enough to eat, and they all jump," Tanzanian President Benjamin said. Karum sneered at the chief secretary Hassan. "What is the reaction of the people in the country? ”

"Mr. President, judging from the current opinion polls, most of the people are looking forward to it, and they are waiting for the government to come up with concrete measures to implement our ambitious multiplication plan," Capari replied respectfully, "Most of the people are grateful for the help that the Chinese are willing to provide, but a small number of so-called elites have different views on this, and they are very worried about our transfer of resources to the Chinese for development, and they are afraid that in the future, the country's mineral resources will be controlled by the Chinese. It will greatly harm the interests of the country. ”

"What do they know," President Karum said, "the Chinese are willing to settle mineral resources at the average price of the international market, and we can get fifty percent of the profit sharing without doing anything, and look at the agreements signed by other countries around us with the Americans and the French, are there such good conditions, they are eager to take everything, compared to the Chinese, they are simply generous, not to mention that they also agreed to build a series of factories for primary smelting and guarantee the treatment of pollution." ”

"This has been explained to the public through newspapers, television and other media, and most of the people have a very positive opinion of the unequal agreements signed by our neighbors." "It's just that the people don't understand why our military is modernizing on such a large scale, and this part of the military spending should be used for more urgent livelihoods." ”

Capari took the tablet in his hand and reported the information he had collected to the president one by one.

"Ignorant, they don't look at the situation we are facing now, to the west is a mess of Congo like a pot of porridge, with more than 200,000 large and small warlord armies, and our neighbors Uganda and Burundi to the north have received military aid from the US military, and now they all have the combat power of the F-16 squadron, even if our economy develops, once something happens, we will use it to fight. Alas, if it weren't for the limited national strength, I would have liked to transform all the land forces into infantry brigades according to the standards of the PLA, and our territorial defense area is so large that only two infantry brigades are still not enough," President Karum sighed.

"That's why you agree to the PLA stationing troops on our territory?" Capari said cautiously.

"Of course, if there is any other way, who wants the armies of other countries to be stationed on their own soil. We now lack national strength, and now we have to rely on the development of the Chinese, which is tantamount to offending the Americans, so we can only use the PLA to resist the pressure exerted on us by the US military, even if our army has completed the modernization, compared with the US army, our army is still vulnerable, and only the PLA can compete with the US military in the world today, so that our country has an environment and time for peaceful development, I have to do so. In the face of Capari's confidant, President Karum also revealed some of his innermost thoughts in a rare way today.

"If our GDP per capita can reach $2,000, no, even if it's $1,500, our situation will be much better, at least our people will have no problem feeding themselves, and in that case we will have a lot more routes to choose from. But what can we say now, every year we are worried about how to feed the people. In order to grow, we have no choice. ”

As an aspiring president, Karum is by no means willing to accept that the whole country is still in poverty and unchanged during his tenure, so he vaguely saw the general trend of China's rise in the complex international situation, and resolutely chose to turn to China in order to obtain comprehensive assistance and support from China's political, economic, military and other aspects, and lead the Tanzanian economy to complete the first round of take-off.

The ability of the Chinese to feed their own more than a billion people under extremely unfavorable international conditions is very attractive to African countries that have not yet had enough to eat, and China's win-win construction plan is more realistic than the West's ideological fooling.

Now it seems that although this plan has had a negative impact on the international community, angering his neighbors and European and American powers, Karum believes that as long as his own people can support him, then he will do everything in his power to lead the country to follow the established course.

Cai Siqiang, Eric and others, who were waiting for a clear signal from the central government, could not have imagined that the central government's determination this time was so great that it completely broke through the imagination of observers, and 30 Thunder Dragons may not be anything in Asian countries, but for most African countries, except for a small number of large countries with serious air forces, other countries still use a scarce number of second-generation aircraft as the main force of the air force, and only a very few countries, such as the countries under the current control of the Uganda US military, have some F-16 fighters that have been eliminated by the US military.

Therefore, this time China's action is unimaginable toughness in the past, and this is only the part that has been announced, and there are rumors from above that the scale of the PLA base in Tanzania will not be less than one brigade and one main air force regiment, so that with the two Tanzanian infantry brigades supported by the PLA, the PLA is no longer a symbolic existence in Africa, but has considerable strength to defend China's core interests.

It can be seen from this that the central government's plan for the large-scale development of Africa's resources is multi-pronged, and it is extremely rare to make military preparations, which fully shows that China's large-scale development of Africa is by no means just rhetoric, but a posture of being determined to win.

In the face of such an obvious signal from the authorities, Cai Siqiang and his team accelerated the pace of action and prepared to increase investment, but in the coordination with relevant departments, another major problem was soon exposed, making this investment work difficult.
