Chapter 729 Great Triangle Railway Plan
With a large-scale delegation to Syria, after visiting the four countries of the Third OECD, President Bashar, who was wavering from side to side, finally let go of his mind.
Syria's attitude is clear. There are those who are happy, and there are those who smash the cup. Facts have proved that the failure of the United States and France to break through this alternative anti-American alliance from within the Third OECD has become less and less likely to peacefully resolve the confrontation and threat of the Third Economic Organization.
Ordinary people can't feel this change, but some people find that European, American and Western countries have frequently held high-level diplomatic conferences recently, which seems to be plotting something.
Economically, the United States and other Western countries continue to impose economic sanctions and technical blockades on the Third Economic Organization, and in the foreign trade of several countries, they have frequently made some shady actions through political and economic pressure on third countries.
Militaryly, the two aircraft carrier battle groups hovering in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea have not withdrawn one. The aircraft carriers Nimitz and Enterprise are still the most important force for the United States to deter the surrounding "ambitious elements".
For the Third OECD, the attitude of the United States seems to maintain strong military pressure, mainly political and diplomatic attacks; while for the two main strategic core points of the United States, Iraq and Afghanistan, are not so 'benevolent', especially Iraq, with the growth of Saddam's Iraqi Liberation Front. The U.S. military not only used 200,000 troops, but also through a series of behind-the-scenes transactions, both Britain and Japan sent a second batch of soldiers into Iraq again, called maintaining the stability of the situation in Iraq.
The evolution of the situation in Iraq, with sharp contradictions, has gradually emerged as the rentry of a quagmire of war. It is impossible for the United States to give up the interests of spending hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of soldiers to 'occupy'. Britain has to pinch its nose because of its relationship with the United States and Iraq. The son invests more power, and the original is to take some purposes, on the surface, look like a loyal American hitter, to share the worries of the master and seek some bones at the same time.
Everyone knows that the situation in Iraq is not the appearance of Saddam, not that the Iraqis are really too patriotic, but that there are countless forces that are dissatisfied with the United States or hold other purposes, stirring up trouble behind their backs, giving money to material support agents to harass the Iraqi U.S. The West bleed more blood on the United States and dispersing the United States more. Energy, so that you can strengthen your strength and seek development.
The United States and other political axes know this, but they can't stop the change of the situation. On the one hand, the American political axe actively conducts secret negotiations with some countries, trying to force them to give up their support for the anti-American guerrillas in Iraq through the interests of other parties, and on the other hand, they strictly blockade on the Iraqi border. Lock, prohibit the inflow of weapons and munitions.
With such a high cost and painstaking effort in Iraq, and it is closely related to the global strategy, Americans will never give up here. Unless at some point, the United States finds that getting Iraq gets more than paying.
Unlike the mixed situation in Iraq, the situation in Afghanistan is one-sided. With the steps of the U.S. troops in Afghanistan, similar to the strangulation of the 'three light policy', the remnants of the Taliban have retreated to a mountainous area of thousands of square kilometers near northern Pakistan.
Because the new leader of Pakistan came to power, the relationship with the United States has not supported or opposed at the beginning, and now it has assisted the United States in cracking down on the Taliban's transportation of weapons and personnel through the Pakistani border, and has tried to stop the Pakistani military against the Taliban and other Afghan militant groups. Weaving support.
In this case, the situation of the Taliban is becoming more and more dangerous. Recently, there has been news that in order to determine the situation, the United States intends to use a new weapon in the Taliban gathering areas in the mountains of southern Afghanistan: a small tactical nuclear bomb. The Afghan U.S. military has become impatient in the face of domestic pressure and tries to end the Afghan war as soon as possible in a more intense way.
With the development of the war, the resistance of the Taliban and al-Qaeda has become more and more crazy. It is said that Comrades bin Laden and Omar intend to unite to launch a new [***] scale of 'Jihad' retaliation against the United States, trying to bring a glimmer of life to the dangerous situation in Afghanistan in this way. .
Every day, some people report the most important part to Li Mo, and Li Mo is also preparing for the upcoming New Year after work.
"Xiao Mo, your sister said that she would come back at the end of the month, and there will be a foreign devil. You can help me keep an eye on him then." At home, Li's mother, who was teasing her grandson and granddaughter, saw that her son was going out and said casually.
Li Mo smiled bitterly. He knew that his sister Li Qian had agreed to Michael's pursuit, and the two were about to return to Somalia to meet their parents.
Fang Yuxiang was a little dissatisfied with Li Qian's finding a foreign man. Li Haojun didn't care. He went abroad for more than two years, and he saw everything more thoroughly. It doesn't matter whether his son-in-law is Chinese or a Westerner. Moreover, compared with the black people he often see in the local area, Li's father felt that Westerners were still more pleasing to the eyes. .
"Mom, Michael is a very good friend of mine. I know him better. He won't be bad for my sister. Since my sister agrees, don't object." Li Mo has no time to interfere with her sister Li Qian's marriage and love. Anyway, as long as her sister agrees, she doesn't feel wronged.
However, he also knows that his mother is still the rural woman in her bones. Although she has seen a lot, the traditional concept of decades is not so easy to reverse.
Hearing the perfunctory words of her son, it was difficult for Li's mother to continue, so she had to talk about teasing her grandson and granddaughter. For her, the two grandchildren were already more than half of her life, and she didn't bother to care about the rest.
He stared at Li Yanran, who was secretly laughing next to him, and Li Mo shook his head helplessly and went out of the door.
Today, he is going to participate in the opening ceremony of the 'Great Triangle Railway Circle'. This railway project is a key project proposed by Li Mo and approved by the political axe in 2008. As the first railway trunk line in Somalia, its role and significance are extraordinary.
In the western part of Mogadishu, a sorted out flat area, countless people and cars have flocked here since this morning.
Curious citizens already know that a railway station will be built here to connect Baidoa and Badada Towns. What does a train look like? As long as modern people have not lived in the deep mountains and forests for decades, they basically know, but in Somalia, there are still not many ordinary citizens who have taken the train. Although today is just a groundbreaking ceremony, it will take a year or even two to see and take the train, but it can't stop the curious citizens.
After the speech of President Yusuf and the relevant person in charge of Mogadishu Municipal Axe and Huaxia Railway Construction Company, dozens of construction machinery and hundreds of railway workers who were ready to go to work under an order.
The 'Greater Triangle Railway Plan' has a total investment of 1 billion US dollars and a 1,200-kilometer-long railway plan. According to the requirements of the project contractor and the Somali political axe, the plan will start construction in Baidoa, Badada and Mogadishu at the same time. Each area will be constructed in one direction, which can save a lot of time and complete the railway plan as soon as possible.
Unlike ordinary citizens, other forces at home and abroad have seen Li Mo's ambition in this railway plan. Once the 'Great Triangle Railway Plan' is completed, the Badada Town Industrial Park, Baidoa Aviation Industrial Park and Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, will be connected. While the transportation capacity rises, the speed will also increase several times. The completion of the railway plan will completely change the cost and time of the Star Group in material transportation, militarily. The Great Triangle Railway completely connects the Southern Military Region with the Capital Military Region, which has a far-reaching impact on the defense of southern Kenya and central and central Ethiopia.
Economically and militaryly, the role of this railway is incalculable. Politically, the railway plan is also a very important part, that is, the enhancement of internal control.
Although Somalia is a coastal country, under the influence of Arab culture, local tribes suffered a serious blow during the Barre ax and civil war. After Li Mo came to power, he also adopted a strategy of tightening the tribes. First of all, it banned the tribes from having large-scale armed names.
But no matter how Li Mo weakens the influence and strength of the tribe, the influence of the tribe is still very strong in the local area. Many low-level regimes are still in the hands of the tribes. The tribal chiefs and nobles are a local emperor.
With the railway, foreign advanced culture and ideas are bound to gradually affect the tribe's strict control over the tribal people. In addition, because of the railway, it is more convenient and faster for Li Mo to mobilize the army, which is also a deterrent to those ambitious tribes.
At the railway opening ceremony, Li Mo only showed his face and did not make a speech. Now he no longer needs to appear in public to expand his influence. After the victories and tough posture of several foreign wars, Li Mo is now the idol of the young generation in Somalia. Young people are hot-blooded and impulsive, and Li Mo's tough and uncompromising surname is naturally easy to be sought after and supported by young people.
When he left, President You Sufu sent someone to invite Li Mo to ride with him. Li Mo was funny. He knew that Yu Sufu was looking for him, and he knew what was going on.
Syrian President Bashar called or sent representatives several times to suggest that the 40 'defendors' tanks should be delivered to Syria.
It was because of the swing of Bashar's attitude that Li Mo decided to ban the delivery of new tanks to Syria. Although the Syrian political axe has protested several times, Li Mo has never let go.
This time, Bashar decided to reject the United States and France** and firmly stood on the side of the Third OECD. It was time to give the new tanks seized in their hands to others.
