"This year, we have received a total of $12.7 billion in investment, most of which has come from China, and in the decades since Djibouti's independence, we have received much investment and assistance from other countries."

"Yes, Djibouti's agriculture is backward, the land is not suitable for farming, the food production is only half of the consumption, and we need assistance from other countries to sustain it. However, should we be satisfied, struggling on the food and clothing line, is that our goal, I don't think so, we in Djibouti, should live a better life, and we have that condition. ”

"Djibouti has a great geographical location, we are no worse than Singapore and Panama, we are about the same size as them, but the standard of living is very different."

"Now, we are building new ports, we are building free trade zones, railways are already connected to Ethiopia, we have a lot of infrastructure under construction, Djibouti is developing, and in the future, my dream is to make Djibouti the Singapore, Panama, and even Dubai of Africa."

Odova's words have lifted the spirits of all the people here, whether it is the cooperative party or the opposition party, they are all Djiboutians, and they all want their country to get better.

"So now Djibouti needs to gradually establish its own rules, and it can't be like before, the military forces of other countries can act on our territory at will, they must abide by the provisions of the treaty, which is also the need for our development in the future."

"As for your concerns, well, I can tell you that our fiscal revenue this year has exceeded that of last year, and I have signed a food supply agreement with the Chinese side, and we will not go hungry, as for national security."

Speaking of this, Odova glanced at everyone and said in a serious tone, "There has never been a country that can put the safety of its own country in the hands of other countries with confidence." The United States can't do it, and neither can France, and in the future, we will strengthen the building of our own military strength, and I already have a new plan, and I will talk about this later. ”

"We are a sovereign country, a member of the United Nations, a member of the African Union, what right do other countries have to interfere in our country's internal affairs, they don't, so we don't have to worry too much about the safety of the country."

"Okay, let's vote now, I want everyone's support, not use the power of the president to force this matter, although I have that right." Finally, Odova said strongly.

This sentence, he has already made his heart clear, regardless of whether the parliament passes it or not, he will promote this matter, and discuss it with everyone today, just to respect everyone, and hope to get everyone's support.

The Speaker opened the voting.

People raised their hands one by one, of course, the people on the Odowa side were naturally the fastest, and in the end, 65 parliamentarians, 39 votes agreed, 11 abstained, 15 voted against, and more than half voted to pass.

11 abstentions, this number of abstentions is so high, it seems that there are a lot of hesitant people.

Japan also reported the matter to his subordinate **** Xiaosan, who was very surprised, but he didn't expect that the small country of Djibouti began to light up the red light on Japan.

They invested more than $200 million in the construction of the Djibouti military base, and they paid more rent every year than the Americans, and the Djibouti military base is the only overseas military base in Japan at present, and it must not be lost.

The Government of Japan has established a military base in Djibouti to combat Somali pirates in accordance with the Piracy Countermeasures Act, which came into effect in late July 2009. This base became Japan's first overseas military base since the end of World War II.

Japan has been built a lot of military bases. The U.S. military has 88 military facilities and bases in Japan, with a total of 36,365 personnel.

As a defeated country, Japan has a pacifist constitution, and this pacifist constitution has strict restrictions on Japan's military forces being sent overseas, including the establishment of military bases overseas, and it is not allowed to do so.

In recent years, Japan has taken advantage of the various opportunities provided by the international community to prevent Japan's military power from going out. For example, in the fight against Somali piracy, the United Nations has a resolution. In the fight against terrorism, the United Nations also has resolutions. Through the practice of playing the sidelines, Japan has allowed its military power to continue to move outward, and even to this day, it has established military bases overseas.

Naturally, this Japanese military base cannot be compared with the large US base covering an area of 6,000 acres, and it is far from being compared with France, and it can only be regarded as a temporary stationing point, with two P3C patrol planes, four armed helicopters, two reconnaissance helicopters, and 350 self-defense personnel.

But the significance of this base is still significant.

No matter how big or small, it has established a foothold here. Because it is on land, it has a great effect on Japan's military replenishment in this region, replenishing supplies, refueling and watering. Therefore, the strength of this base can be expanded at any time. It is even more significant than sending a few warships to patrol the Gulf of Aden.

This is also the reason why China has always wanted to seek a base in Djibouti.

After Muyang became an ambassador, he got a military base of more than 60,000 square meters from Djibouti, and the location is excellent, several times larger than the base of the United States, and the Japanese are naturally incomparable.

The Japanese say that they are not red-eyed, but that is nonsense. They are really red-eyed, red-eyed.

But now, Djibouti, the only overseas military base that is very important to Japan, wants to cancel it because of an accident, what kind of joke, Japan will never allow such a thing to happen.

"Contacting the ambassador to Djibouti and visiting President Odova, we must suppress this matter, we can agree to some conditions of the other side, Japan can make compensation, and also, and also tell the other side that Japan will never allow such a thing to happen, and for this, Japan will pay a huge price." An Xiaosan said with a serious expression, and the two pieces of fat that drooped down on both sides of his cheeks were trembling.

Appeasement plus threat.

Japan has paid too much in order to go out, and it is by no means a matter of construction lease costs alone, and if it is really withdrawn by Djibouti, then Japan's strategy of going out will be dealt a heavy blow.

His prestige will also be seriously hit, because this matter is what he has pushed for, the base was built for two years, and it was only put into use in mid-2011, and after only four years of use, the agreement was cleared and terminated by the host country, then Japan will become a joke, and he will also be attacked by political opponents because of this matter.

In the future, if he wants to pursue other military policies, the resistance will be even greater. (To be continued.) )
