Chapter 522: Meeting Mahmoud
In Mogadishu, after a night of bloody rain, the city calmed down once again as the morning sun rose.
The people of Mogadishu, even though it has been peaceful for almost a month, have not forgotten this bloody day and have behaved quite calmly.
That night, all the active infiltrators were captured or killed for resistance, but the next morning, the residents of Mogadishu still had to do what they had to do, and they continued to do.
Because they need to earn money to support their families.
Fan Yize's arrival was like a huge pebble thrown into the calm lake, causing ripples, and also causing many people to emerge after calming down, which also happened to give the peacekeeping forces a clear target to strike.
After this operation, the number of sleeper forces in Mogadishu has also decreased dramatically, and even if they still exist, it is difficult to cause much destruction.
Early in the morning, when Fan Yize walked down the hotel suite, the smell of blood in the hotel also dissipated a lot, and the corridor at the entrance of the suite was also renovated to repair the damage caused by the explosion to its original appearance.
The entire hotel is also banned. Wei is completely controlled, the level of internal and external protection, not even a fly wants to get close.
On the streets of Mogadishu and at various intersections, more Guard Robot No. 1 has emerged to take on the role of street security.
The Somali Government has re-established itself in Mogadishu, and government institutions in Mogadishu are back in action.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the motorcade of the presidential palace in Mogadishu, under the protection of the peacekeeping forces, arrived at the Peninsula Hotel.
Somali President Mahmoud, escorted by several bodyguards, walked into the hotel.
Strictly speaking, Mahmoud is also one of the various warlords in Somalia, but he has a legal status recognized by the United Nations and is also recognized by many outside countries as the president of Somalia.
In fact, Mahmoud was born in the military, and although he did not come to power by coup d'état, his ability to become president is also directly related to the military power he holds.
Although the Somali government is not part of the military government, it has many similarities with the military government.
All the government's revenues and expenditures have little to do with ordinary people.
The government's taxes, customs duties and other fiscal revenues are mainly spent on the army, and there is no construction of people's livelihood at all, which is also one of the reasons why the warlords are in chaos in the end, and everyone in the tribe is in danger.
For such a president, Fan Yize can't say that he has any feelings, and Mahmood's governing methods can be regarded as taking advantage of the trend.
Because if Mahmoud really invested hundreds of millions of dollars in his annual fiscal revenue into the so-called people's livelihood construction, then his head would have been cut off long ago.
In a country like Somalia, no president can fundamentally change by virtue of his faith and ability.
Therefore, Fan Yize doesn't have any opinion on people like Mahmoud, he has no good feelings, and he doesn't have any dissatisfaction.
Of course, the final attitude will also depend on Mahmoud's attitude next, and if Mahmoud can cooperate, Fan Yize does not mind that this person continues to serve as the president of Somalia.
But if Mahmoud doesn't continue to cooperate, he wouldn't mind changing the Somali president.
Under Mahmoud, there are many people who want to become this president, and there are many people in the Somali government apparatus who are more capable and talented than Mahmoud.
Although Mahmoud is the president, in fact, he does not have any superior talents, and his knowledge is quite ordinary, on the other hand, many of his subordinates are masters and doctors who have returned from studying in Europe and the United States.
Therefore, it is too simple to find a replacement under Mahmoud.
The two met in the meeting room of The Peninsula Hotel.
Mahmoud is a burly middle-aged man, a traditional African, with thick lips and a height of nearly 1.9 meters, with a strong sense of oppression on the outside.
When he saw Fan Yize, Mahmoud showed a more sincere smile, and his movements were more respectful, although he did not grovel, but he also lowered his posture.
As soon as the people shook their right hands and sat down, Mahmoud immediately uttered a series of words of thanks, full of flattery.
Now in Somalia, there are still a large number of rebellions to be suppressed, and the armed forces of the government army can only barely protect themselves, and the only person the Somali government can rely on if it wants to restore its rule over the entire country.
In fact, before Somalia sought help from the Future Military Resources Corporation, the United States extended an olive branch to Mahmoud and was willing to help him put down the rebellion.
But Mahmoud was destined not to choose the United States for two reasons, the first of which was that the conditions given by the United States were unacceptable to Mahmood.
The second condition is that Somalia has severed diplomatic relations with the United States for a long time, and the United States will only intervene militarily, which will eventually lead to the Somali government standing opposite the entire Somali people.
Mahmoud is well aware of this, so it is completely impossible to cooperate with the United States.
Although the United Nations also intends to help the Somali government, the United Nations African peacekeeping force has many restrictions, limited capabilities, and a general misunderstanding of the United Nations by the Somali grassroots society, and finally the United Nations force left Somalia in disgrace.
Other countries, such as Somalia, which has no good resources and no geopolitical interests, are unlikely to come to the aid at a huge cost.
Therefore, the Somali civil war has not interfered with the state, and the Somali government has no way to seek help.
The emergence of the future military resources company is like throwing a life-saving rope in front of the Somali government, and the Somali government also reached out and grabbed it tightly for the first time, hoping that this rope can save itself from going ashore.
Mahmoud may not be a great man, but he is a man who understands politics and knows better what a terrifying energy the young man in front of him has.
Not to mention that he is now just a president who is not even in power, even if the whole of Somalia is united, it is not as trivial as the insignificant move of the young man in front of him.
Especially after the war in Mogadishu, Mahmood's reverence for the future military resource company swelled rapidly, and he did not even have the slightest thought of resisting.
He deeply felt that if people wanted to kill themselves, it was like pinching an ant to death.
Not showing enough humility is already the insistence of President Mahmoud in order to maintain his last dignity.
Amid Mahmood's praise, Fan Yize asked: "Mr. President, do you have any valuable comments on the actions of our troops in Somalia in the past month?" ”
