Chapter 854: Shocked Leadership
"Leader, what I reported on was about the general elections in Djibouti and about presidential candidate Moussa. Lai. Things to do in Odova. Muyang said.
Vice Minister Guo nodded and motioned for Muyang to continue.
"Musa. Lai. Odova is Djibouti's agriculture and food minister, one of the three candidates in Djibouti's general election and the most likely to win the presidency. Muyang said.
"I have read the report on the current situation in Djibouti from your embassy, and I have a fairly good understanding of the situation there." Vice Minister Guo means that Muyang can talk about the key points, and there is no need to introduce other situations.
"I got in touch with Odova long before and developed a certain friendship. The French were interested in helping Odova come to power and gain more benefits in Djibouti, but Odova himself did not trust the Westerners too much. ”
"Through the communication with Odova, and our concept of common progress and common development in other African countries, Odova feels that it is more suitable for Djibouti, rather than the Westerners who want to control and absorb the benefits of Djibouti, so we have reached a certain consensus, and he is willing to cooperate with China in all aspects." Muyang said.
Vice Minister Guo's eyes lit up and asked: "To what extent is the comprehensive cooperation, and is there any specific content?" ”
"We have also talked privately that Djibouti's infrastructure is very weak now, and if they want to develop Djibouti, they need all-round support, and of course, they will also open up the Djibouti market, and some projects can be developed cooperatively."
"Also, they can provide resources that they can come up with and exchange certain benefits. For example, supporting China in building a military base in Djibouti. Muyang said.
Vice Minister Guo's face was stunned for a moment, and then he showed joy, and there was even some disbelief on his face.
China's current situation can be described in eight words: "Strive for development and move forward with difficulty"; Western countries have set up technical barriers and military blockades against us, and the situation in neighboring countries is complicated, and there is no stable environment; it can be said that we have been besieged and intercepted by some countries, because they do not want us to develop.
China has also been seeking the support and cooperation of other countries, which is why there are so many so-called aid projects, don't think that the Chinese are stupid and have a lot of money, because we need other support, and sometimes these supports are indispensable.
We are also trying to break through, all the way, the new Silk Road, is our new strategy, if we can have our own military base in Djibouti, a strategic point and a choke point, it will definitely be a big thing for China, a good thing.
A thing that can affect many countries, many countries will be stuck in the throat, because 80% of the maritime transportation of Western countries is through this route.
Thinking of this, Vice Minister Guo couldn't hide his excitement and said: "What you said is true, this Odowa candidate did promise you so." ”
"Yes." Mu Yang replied in a very affirmative tone.
"Your previous report said that the odds of the Odowa minister winning are very good, and if nothing else, there is a good chance of success, right?"
"Yes." Mu Yang replied again.
"You're so sure." Vice Minister Guo was a little surprised, and Mu Yang answered so firmly.
"Originally, President Guelleh's side was the most likely to succeed, but after those successive events, their party lost the possibility of competing for the presidency, and the other three parties have now formed a coalition, and the one with the highest voice and the last possibility of success is Minister Odowa." Muyang Road.
"If you leave and make a report, I will report this matter to Minister Yang, and the report should be as detailed as possible and analyzed clearly." Vice Minister Guo ordered.
"Okay." Muyang stood up and prepared to go to other offices to prepare a report.
At this time, Vice Minister Guo said: "Don't go to other places, use the secretary's computer, I'll wait for you here and get it out as soon as possible." ”
Vice Minister Guo is really anxious.
called the secretary, took Muyang outside, and used his computer to make a report, but Vice Minister Guo himself picked up the phone and called Minister Yang.
"What, you said that Xiao Mu and Odova reached an agreement to establish a comprehensive partnership with China and jointly develop Djibouti, is that what Xiao Mu said in his original words?" Minister Yang was also very surprised to hear the news.
He has just received a report from Vice Minister Li, saying that Muyang has obtained a very heavy intelligence information, which is the latest production process data of marine deck alloy steel in the United States, and Minister Yang has just reported to the leaders of the National Academy of Materials, and is ready to organize experts to analyze and study the information in hand.
Before he set off, he received another report from Vice Minister Guo, and the matter was even more serious.
You know, even if Djibouti is small, it is also a country, and China only paid attention to Djibouti's presidential election before, but if it is really as Muyang said, if Odova succeeds in the election, then China can make great strides into Djibouti and obtain great benefits.
China does not necessarily need to obtain any oil, mines and other resources from Djibouti, and sometimes intangible resources are also very important, even more than some tangible resources.
If, as Muyang said, a military base can be obtained in Djibouti, then China's navy can have a foothold in Africa, which is of great significance and cannot be compared with some money.
Sometimes, there are certain things that really can't be bought with money.
"Where is Muyang now?" Minister Yang asked.
"Now I'm writing a report outside, and I'll ask him to get a detailed analysis report so that I can report to you." Vice Minister Guo said.
"Well, that's good, let him be faster, I'll wait for him." After Minister Yang finished speaking, he put down the phone.
Minister Yang thought about it, picked up the phone again, and called the leaders of the National Institute of Materials, this matter should be said to be more important than the previous one.
The production process of a special steel is very important, which may affect the production of aircraft carriers, warships and submarines in China in the future, and improve military strength. But that could be a few years away.
And if it really establishes a comprehensive cooperative relationship with Djibouti, the benefits that China can obtain will be very direct and incalculable.
Regarding the information that Vice Minister Guo wanted, in fact, Mu Yang already had a draft in his heart, and he knew the situation in Djibouti well, so he didn't need to check the information at all, and after organizing the language a little in his heart, he began to type on the keyboard.
