Chapter 811 The successor
The place where Li Mo appeared was not the presidential palace in the city center, but the Somali Palace in northwest Somalia, an ancient palace with a history of hundreds of years, which later became another very important residence for the rulers of Somalia.
The Somali Palace is located on a top of a mountain hundreds of meters high. Such a hill is rare around Mogadishu. When three jeeps appeared in front and behind the white palace door, the guards here just checked it briefly and let it go.
In Somalia, Li Mo himself is the highest-level pass.
In a small garden, President Yusuf received Li Mo. This old man, who seems to be old, is pouring his last energy into the country.
He is respectable, even if he has done something wrong in this country. But in any case, it was such an old man sitting in Somalia to deal with the contradictions and interest disputes that grew on the ruins that the country was stabilized.
Li Mo never thought that without this old man, he and the army he controlled could bring Somalia to where they are today.
This is an excellent logistics minister and housekeeper. When Li Mo saw You Sufu, he thought of it silently.
Under a leafy tree in the garden, there is a white table and two rattan chairs. At this moment, on the table, there is a book, twice as much hot milk tea - a sweet tea with local characteristics made with camel milk with special crafts.
He Xiaoqiang waved his hand to the two meteor players to wait outside the door. He himself walked around and walked to a corner of the garden, standing quietly at the farthest distance from where Li Mo and You Sufu were.
"War and peace?" Li Mo glanced at the book and immediately recognized the meaning of the row of Arabic.
"This is a very good book." Li Mo said with a faint smile.
Li Mo has read this great masterpiece, but not in this life, but in the last life. He may not be able to remember the specific content, and even the author of the book, he just saw the cover of the book. But just the contradictory and unified title of this book makes it difficult for all those who have seen it to forget it.
War and peace have always been opposites, because when there is war, there is no peace. But there is a very close connection between them. They are like a pair of reincarnations, always appearing under the same sky at the same time or at an uncertain time.
"Yes, it is a great masterpiece. Mr. Tolstoy is a great writer." Yusuf covered the top of his eyes with his hand, looked up at the hot sky, and said in a nostalgic tone, "When I was young, I used to love literature very much. For this reason, I once went to Europe alone to remember and understand the shadow left by the Renaissance, or to find a concept that belongs to The way you should go."
"Have you found it yet?" Li Mo asked, and then smiled self-deprecatingly. This sentence was really strange. He also knew President Yusuf's deeds. He had been to Europe for three years. Later, he returned to Somalia and began to participate in various political activities. At that time, he went against Barre with a group of like-minded young people. From the beginning of the 'sm condemnation', under the 'repression' of Barre's political axe again and again, it gradually evolved into an armed struggle. Maybe they don't understand, or maybe they know that they can't really shake a solid regime.
But all this happened unexpectedly in the changes in the international environment. The disintegration of the Soviet Union, to which Barre relied, was definitely not influenced by the Soviet Union itself, and the political storm caused by the world was unparalleled. Barre's political axe collapsed, and countless bright and dark, foreign and local forces emerged one after another. Later, there was Pontland and Yusuf's ability to create the Somali National Liberation Front... "I found it." Yusuf's answer surprised Li Mo. "What I found was not literature, but the groundbreaking of high-rise buildings, the establishment of modern factories, cars, ships... What I found was another world different from Somalia. It was precisely when I saw the real face of the modern industrial countries in Europe with my own eyes that I had the idea of abandoning the pen and sorn in the country. Ha ha, but at that time, I was still very young. Many ideas were not carefully scrutinized and demonstrated in my mind, and I just did it with a cavity of blood.
Li Moran, he didn't understand what Yu Sufu meant to say to him, but he felt that it was not only because the other party was old and had more 'nonsense', but also because of a deeper meaning.
"Li, are you interested in completing my unfinished volunteer?" President Yusuf suddenly looked at Li Mo with burning eyes and asked in a joking tone.
But both of them understand that this sentence is extremely serious, even more than the speech at some important meetings.
Somalia is a Mingzhu Republic with many political parties. The presidential election is no different from those Western countries. For example, Yusuf, who is the chairman of the "National Liberation Front" of Somalia's largest political party, was established in 2006. With the support of multiple forces, the "National Liberation Front" won the general election, and Yusuf became the head of state. That period was special. The so-called presidential election did not represent public opinion, and ordinary citizens did not have the right to vote. With the support of various parties and armed groups, Yusuf could serve as president.
However, four years are about to pass. The domestic society has gradually stabilized, economic production is being restored, the homeland is being rebuilt, and various systems destroyed by war have been re-established. At this time, many people are concerned about whether the presidential election will be conducted in a 'cooked' way or continue in other special ways.
However, the power to choose this matter is not in the opposition parties or the ordinary people, but in the senior government and the military.
Do you want to be the president of Somalia? It's a lie to say that he doesn't want to, but Li Mo feels that it's not the time to look forward to that position. He believes that his foundation in Somalia is not as solid as it is. Moreover, once he becomes president, many things are not as convenient as now.
So Li Mo has made it clear that he gave up this position this time.
Shaking his head slightly, Li Mo looked directly at President Yusuf's eyes and said, "President, you are in trouble for me. I'm too young to shoulder this heavy responsibility, and I have no experience in managing a country. I think you should give it to a more suitable person to complete it, but you can rest assured that no matter who he does, as long as everything he does is for the sake of Somalia, I will definitely support him.
Li Mo is equivalent to making a promise. His support is also the support of the military.
To figure out what Li Mo meant, You Sufu didn't know whether he was disappointed or relieved. In short, the inexplicable meanings in his eyes were very complicated.
"Muhammad? Sheikh? How about Ahmed? He is young, but his ability is very outstanding. In the past two years, his ability to help me deal with the affairs of the political axe proves this. And Muhammad is very young and energetic. It's best to cooperate with young people like you. After learning that Li Mo did not intend to run for president, President Yu Sufu proposed a candidate.
Muhammad is the vice president of Somalia. He does not belong to the 'National Liberation Front', but is a party chairman of the 'Somali Movement Alliance', a coalition of several small parties. He is 43 years old and is very young compared with his position.
Li Mo doesn't deal with this person very much, mainly because Li Mo's work is concentrated in the military. Even if some things have to be dealt with the political axe, they are all through the Ministry of National Defense, or directly contact Yu Sufu himself.
But Li Mo also knows that Vice President Mohammed is very talented, but he is silent and less talkative. The important thing is that this person is a 'returnee' who worked in Europe for a long time. A few years ago, he returned to Somalia a few years ago to form a small party to enter politics. However, in Somalia at that time, it was pitiful that there was no armed party and had no right to speak at all. This situation was not changed until the establishment of the New Deal.
"Yes!" Li Mo agreed after careful consideration. Anyway, she herself does not plan to participate in this election, and she does not have reliable political talents. As long as the person who comes up is not the only forces in China who are dissatisfied with him.
The future president of a country was decided by two people in a few words. This is extremely inconceivable in the eyes of other countries, that is, those countries with family presidents and even the only monarchies can't decide the future leaders so simply.
This is related to the special political environment background in Somalia, and this is also the beginning of the establishment of the New Deal. After decades, this kind of thing is unlikely to happen.
After leaving the presidential palace, Li Mo called Fan Qingqing and asked her to prepare the information of Vice President Mohammed.
At this time, a new resident came to the seaside villa area where Fan Qingqing lives. This is a rich woman from Ireland who came to Mogadishu just to spend a holiday here. For a rich woman with a fortune of more than 100 million yuan, it is very simple to buy a villa in a place she likes.
And the manager of this villa area, although they are extremely strict in reviewing the information of each resident, they are not the CIA. They do not have the kind of intelligence network covering the whole world, and they only find out that the owner of the household is from Ireland and is a very rich woman.
Standing on the balcony on the second floor of the villa, Gail looked at the best villa in the distance, which was alone on the cliff, with a touch of chill in his brown eyes.
She doesn't have much time at home. If she can't complete the task before the Israeli election, she may lose the opportunity to solve her goal. Once the Likud wins the election, such a political assassination will certainly have a negative impact on the Likud Group, which has been in politics for more than a decade. Therefore, the country gave her a strict order again, ordering her to solve the goal within three days or return to China directly. Because Israel's general election is ten days later.
