Chapter 432 The U.S. Government's Response
The problem pointed out by He Bin is a problem worth paying attention to, but it is also a problem that is difficult to find a good solution.
If you want to make Li Mo's forces not harm China's interests in the future, there are only two ways to solve it: control and suppression.
But whether it is control or suppression, everyone here finds it difficult. It can be said that Li Mo now occupies a very special position, close to the Middle East in East Africa. This is the current ** area. Any action of China, as long as it is slightly obvious, will be amplified by other countries and relevant actions will be made soon. This is also a reflection of the increasingly important position in the world with the development of China.
Controlling Li Mo or Li Mo's subordinates, Lei Zhen and others did not think about it at the beginning. However, through careful research and analysis, it was concluded that Li Mo's men could not be used by Huaxia at all. Unless with Li Mo's consent.
After getting this conclusion, the department of the national security department specialized in this matter also praised Li Mo. I don't know how to use it to get a group of superb but loyal subordinates. In fact, this phenomenon is not the only one. Generally speaking, talents who have a certain specialty and have advantages that others can't compare in some fields will not easily convince others, but once they are under someone, they will not easily rebel. There are not many people who look at the history of China.
The suppression of Li Mo and the forces under his control is contrary to the fundamental purpose of China. Once Huaxia did this. Not only will he withdraw and lose his 'intimate' relationship with Li Mo, but he will no longer be able to obtain the benefits needed by some countries through Li Mo. It will also make Li Mo dissatisfied with China and create an enemy.
Although He Bin's words caused some touch in the hearts of several people, they were quickly suppressed by several people. Although these problems are important, they have nothing to do with them. They are issues that need to be considered by the senior management. All they can do is submit this question. The specific choice is none of their business.
"Yes, Counselor He, what is the purpose of the Japanese delegation some time ago? Is it possible that Japan found that our country had the idea of opening up new resource channels in Somalia, and followed it? Because he found that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange, Li Guoqing knew that the topic would be staggered. He smiled and asked another question.
More than a month ago, a large-scale 'business investigation group' was sent; everyone present knew about this matter, and the local newspapers even reported it. Just when Lei Zhen and several people thought that they were here to 'destroy and grab business', they suddenly found that Somalia's transitional political axe seemed to be very unabated with me. Unlike President Yusuf's personal reception of the Chinese delegation, Somalia's transitional political axe only sent a deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry and a staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to receive the 'Japanese business delegation'.
Lei Zhen and others were surprised at first. Anyway, it belongs to an extremely economically developed country in the world. For Somalia, one of the least developed countries in the world, business investment should be welcomed. However, through the understanding of a network of 'operation' during the past few months, Lei Zhen and others found that most of the people in Somalia's transitional political axe disdained him. Later, I learned the reason for this attitude. It turned out that I had lost my faith in the Somali political axe a few years ago. It has caused a lot of 'emotional harm' to the Somali people.
When it comes to business, He Bin's face becomes serious. But he did not immediately answer the questions raised by Li Guoqing. But what are you thinking about?
As soon as Lei Zhen and others saw He Bin's appearance, they knew that there was a deep inside story hidden in it. Even Ding Huiqiang, who was not very interested, looked at He Bin.
"According to the news from China, it is said that I am ostensibly here for 'business investigation', but I actually want to contact the Somali Transitional Political Axe and let the Somali Transitional Political Axe provide a 'stronghold' for Japan." After he meditated for a while, He Bin said something that surprised the people in the room.
" stronghold? What stronghold?" Lei Zhen said something, but he still couldn't understand the meaning of the word. I can't help looking at He Bin again.
He Bin smiled and said, "Let me tell you another thing first. At yesterday's session of the United Nations general assembly, the representative proposed to form a joint fleet to escort the passing ships in the Gulf of Aden. The reason is to crack down on the increasingly rampant pirate attacks.
"Mr. He, didn't you say that a cargo ship was hijacked by pirates in the Gulf of Aden some time ago? It is said that it was put back after paying the ransom. It's normal to have this proposal!" Lei Zhen asked strangely. At present, major countries in the world have long attached great importance to the safety of waterways in the Gulf of Aden. But because in the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea, the ships of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet have been swimming all the time. Some countries are not good at publicly accusing the United States of 'not paying attention' to the pirates here. And if you want to intervene, you can't do it with the power of a country. Even if the Japanese navy is second to none in the Asian region, it cannot send warships alone to escort its merchant ships.
But he knew that things must not be that simple. Otherwise, He Bin would not have mentioned this matter.
"Ha ha, do you know that? The United States first proposed to form a joint fleet to escort. At the last interim meeting of the Security Council, the representative of the United States proposed to form a joint fleet to be responsible for the safety of the waterways in the Gulf of Aden and carry out the task of combating piracy. According to the information posted at the session of the United Nations Congress, the proposal has not been discussed with the United States before. Of course, it may also be the two countries that set up suspicions to show the outside world. He Bin himself is the counselor of the Chinese Embassy in other countries. I must be very concerned about meetings with hostages all over the world, such as the meeting of the United Nations general meeting. In addition, at the meeting of the General Assembly, not only representatives of member states to the United Nations, but also most countries have to send a delegation to participate. Among them, the leader of the team, the lowest level is the foreign minister. Some countries are even led by political leaders or heads of state. With a large number of people, it is more difficult to keep it secret. What's more, this is a matter that appeared in the session of the United Nations general meeting, and it has attracted more attention from the outside world.
"And when I came to Somalia this time, according to our guess, we hope to get a 'temporary supply station' in Somalia, which is adjacent to the Gulf of Aden, which is the most convenient as a supply station." He Bin continued to say with a smile.
Until he finished speaking, Lei Zhen also had a clear mind in his mind. He was also 'clear' about the real purpose of the delegation. Li Guoqing knew that he was not "grabbing business" with him, and he was determined. Naturally, he doesn't have to care about other things.
"Well, I have a lot of ambition. Over the years, with the support of the United States, we have provoked our country many times. However, China's temporary concessions for economic development make them think we are afraid. His arrogant surname has never changed, and he wants to open a military base overseas so soon. What a dream!" As a soldier, Ding Huiqiang doesn't have a good impression on me. I can't help but have my own emotions in what I say.
Lei Zhen and others also laughed and didn't pay attention to it at all. Everyone has this kind of blood, but under the long-term suppression, it can now be 'retained' freely.
"No, I always think it's not that simple. The Americans were suddenly interested in Somalia, and they said that they were also in a hurry to join in the fun. There must be a reason, and it's also the reason we can't grasp. According to intelligence, Iranians also entered Somalia many times some time ago. Is there really something here that attracts these countries? Lei Zhen frowned and said. As an intelligence officer, his specialty is to find commonalties in many seemingly irrelevant things and keenly analyze the hidden inside stories.
"Lei Team Leader is right, and there is also such speculation in China. But because I couldn't find the reason, I didn't make any arrangements. I was afraid that I would startle the snake. And this domestic order asks you to pay more attention to any abnormal things that have happened in Somalia recently. Maybe there is something we want to get in it. He Bin nodded and said.
... At the United Nations Headquarters, the representatives of the United States have met with the Japanese representative in private many times since yesterday to discuss the proposal to form a joint fleet. Despite many in-faceted explorations and even threats, the American political axe is still unable to get the true purpose of its proposal from the Japanese representative. Although the representative of Japan said that this proposal was only to ensure the safety of Japan's merchant ships, the American political axe did not believe his explanation at all.
The American political axe is very angry and frightened by the 'betrayal' behavior of Japan. For a long time, although the American political axe has not fully believed in these Japanese dwarfs, the service of Japanese people has gradually lowered the monitoring of Japanese in the United States for many years. Except for a few very important aspects, the monitoring of Japan by the United States has reached its lowest point after World War II.
This Japanese behavior undoubtedly poured cold water on the United States, making them realize that Japanese is likely to be out of the control of the United States. Although the American political axe is confident that it can solve the threats brought by the Japanese at any time, this sign makes the American political axe extremely uneasy. In the East Asia and Pacific region, it is the most important chess piece to contain China. Now this chess piece has the intention to turn over and become a chess player. How should the American chess player who has the upper hand deal with it?
Soon, the CIA's intelligence personnel in Japan and the senior officials who had been deployed in Japan for many years came out to inquire about the purpose of this 'movement' through various channels.
At the same time, the U.S. political axe suddenly announced to the outside world this morning that George, who was stationed at the Hawaii naval base, was stationed. The scart Washington will go to Yokosuka Port in Japan. However, it did not explain the whereth of the "Little Eagle" aircraft carrier stationed in Yokosuka at this time. This means that the U.S. political axe is likely to maintain the strong sea and air power of two aircraft carriers in the western Pacific recently.
When both China and Russia protested one after another, it was unusually low-key and calm. There is no previous attitude of "waving the flag and shouting". This has surprised many international observers. Generally speaking, the United States is the most happy to strengthen its military strength in the Western Pacific, at least to ensure that Japan will not face the military threat of China. However, he deliberately kept a low profile, but it seemed a little strange.
