Chapter 802 Terrible Opponent
"Somali successfully launched a medium-range ballistic missile yesterday."
A remarkable report soon filled the major media and major military forums. Some well-in-handed media even got vague missile launch pictures from some sources. In the picture, a slender sky-blue missile is flying high in the sky with an orange tail flame.
On this day, a spokesman for the Somali military also confirmed the news. In a subsequent external announcement, a Somali military spokesman said that the Somali scientific research department, with the efforts of relevant experts, has finally become one of the few countries in the world with medium-range ballistic missiles.
In the speaker's words, there is no threat, but as long as you are a discerning person, you can see that a country with nuclear weapons, coupled with an effective carrier, will increase its external deterrence many times.
And the neighboring countries of Somalia, that is, those within the scope of the missile strike, are feeling the strong pressure from Somalia.
In the face of this pressure, some countries choose to find foreign aid and backers, while others further deepen their close relationship with Somalia.
After the success of the medium-range missile experiment in Somalia, the country that had originally slamed in the European Union to fight against piracy for world peace immediately took a low profile. It was unwise to confront a strong confrontation with a nuclear-armed country, especially when the country also had a tough leader, and the leader was still very young. With the enthusiasm and impulse of young people, any irrational provocation may lead to the consequences of disaster.
Li Mo will not know that it is because of his age that those mature politicians are embarrassed. If Li Mo is a mature politician who has been immersed in politics for decades, and his surname is always higher than his sense surname, then by expressing a tough attitude, he may be able to get some benefits from Somalia, because Thinking about everything for mature politicians is in all aspects, whether it is nothing big or small, or a lot of worries. Anyway, it will not be impulsive. It is easy to use all means to fight back because of a little provocation and face.
After all, there are still a few young people. A young man who has mastered the ultimate weapon is undoubtedly nervous.
On January 20, Li Mo, who was sitting in the office, seemed to be worried. The goblin-like female secretary found this and came in from time to time to relieve the man.
'Ring bell...', the special phone on the desktop suddenly rang, and Li Mo's expression changed, and he answered the phone solemnly.
"Boss, 'Lincoln' has succeeded." On the phone, there was a surprised voice from the Minister of Intelligence Wang Ning.
"I know...pop." Li Mo said lightly and hung up the phone. I can't say what it feels like in my mind.
Who is 'Lincoln'? The first black president in the history of the United States is called Lincoln, and the 'Lincoln' here represents Mr. Obama, the first black American president in the 21st century.A U.S. president who won the Nobel Peace Prize is extremely terrible. In the inaugural speech of the black president, you can see a black uncle who hides his ambitions and pretends to be kind, rather than the previous war maniac who worked for the benefit of a small group of rich people.
A president who has insufficient surnames and uses more military than political means in foreign policy can destroy the body of others, but not the spirit of resistance. And a president who considers compromise and change is much more terrible.
Compared with the head, the fist is always at a disadvantage.
In Obama's inaugural speech, he hoped to end the Iraq war, the war in Afghanistan, and George W. Bush's 'war on terror'. He will not act as a thie and a vanguard of wealth for the sake of a small group of rich people. He knows how to face the reality and the problems of the United States itself, and how to change strategies to let the United States reverse the act of often waving fists in foreign policy.
George W. Bush has no solution to the United States' own problems. Externally, it only one-sidedly pursues the supremacy of the United States' force. This practice can only make more and more countries and people resent the United States. The decline in the United States' international status is not only the economic status of the United States that has been challenged, but also the U.S. foreign policy It is also an important factor leading to this result.
'Our problem today is not that the political axe is too big or too small, but that the political axe is valid and invalid.' - Obama.
'When the market favors the rich, our country can't prosper.' - Obama... From these famous sayings, it can be seen that the new black president has different ideas and ways of doing things.
In those years, George W. Bush's political axe fought everywhere on the grounds of the 'war on terror'. At the beginning, only countless powerful people in the United States cheered, but in the end, everyone saw the so-called 'war on terror'. Not only did it not make the United States stronger and more prosperous, but the American people were not safer and richer. After the illusory bubble burst, what was left was a United States of America with difficulties at home and abroad.
"For the Muslim world, we are looking for a new way out on the basis of mutual benefit and mutual respect. For those leaders in the world who spread conflicts or blame the pathology of their own society on the West: know that your people will judge you according to your construction rather than destruction. For those who stabilize the regime through corruption, deception and suppression of dissidents, know that you are on the wrong side of history. If you are willing to let go of your fists, we are willing to reach out to you. For the people of poor countries, we promise to work with you to make the farmland more fertile, clean water flowing, nourish the hungry body, and feed the hungry heart..." Listening to the black president in the video, Li Mo's heart could not calm down for a long time.
This opponent is terrible. He knows how to use material and spiritual means to get what the United States needs, instead of directly putting it into force.
From the following sentence 'We are ready to lead the world again', we can see the president's ambition.
Li Mo is a little restless. The black president's ancestral home is Kenya, but he grew up in Asia. His experience or inheritance of cultural diversity, rather than living in the environment of 'white supremacy and the United States' from an early age, which makes the president's behavior more tactful, flexible and more effective.
What Li Mo attaches most importance to is his black identity, a black identity, and his ancestral home in Africa. This innate factor makes him have many favorable factors when dealing with African countries.
Obama will not fail to see this. He will definitely use this advantage correctly to pry open a gap in Africa, where the United States has been unable to spread its influence and is still hovering outside the region controlled and influenced by the United States. This is not good for Somalia, and even more bad for him.
However, one thing that makes Li Mo slightly satisfied is that many things in the world are different from the last life. For example, in Iraq, in the last life, there was almost no resistance in Iraq, and the number and situation of the U.S. troops in Iraq are far from as precipitous as today. In this life, Iraq has one more 'leader' Saddam. The Middle Eastern strong man who should have been put on the gallows by the United States still lives in a cave on the Kurdish plateau, commanding and leading the Iraqi Liberation Front to continue the fight against the United States.
In Afghanistan, the situation of the Taliban in this life is much worse than that of the previous life, because the explosion of the 'suicide nuclear bomb' has led to a more crazy and thorough encirclement of the Taliban by the Afghan U.S. military. The scope of Taliban's activities has been seriously compressed to a very small area, if it hadn't been released with al-Qaeda later. It is still unknown whether the two sides can support the Taliban after re-cooperation.
And most importantly, there is a 'third OECD' in this life. Iran has nuclear weapons, and Somalia's rise in troubled times has brought the forces of resistance closely together and greatly increased its strength.
The whole international situation is very complex and contradictory now. Although the United States, the only superpower, is still strong on everyone's head, it has issued a strong challenge to the economic and political system led by the United States because of the changes in the world economy and the revival and rise of developing countries.
The whole international environment is like the later stage of a dynasty. The 'imperial power' is gradually weakening, and the power of all kinds of princes is gradually increasing in the dormant, and the threat to the rule of the 'imperial power' is increasing.
The princes with a 'ghost' may temporarily cooperate with the 'imperial power' for some interests, but it is more about competition and the invisible but real challenges.
"Xiao Mo, this black president is very powerful." After seeing Li Mo listening to Obama's inaugural speech, Fan Qingqing understood the reason why men were uneasy before. She is smart. She has been with Li Mo for so long and comes from a political family. She naturally knows about politics. She knows very well that the black president's coming to power will inevitably make the United States adjust some wrong strategies to the outside world.
This is beneficial to the United States and its hardcore allies, but to those who are dissatisfied with the United States or even have other ideas.
"But I don't need to worry too much at night. In the United States, the president's power is not a word. In his speech, he blamed the rich for the weakening of the U.S. economy, which will certainly attract the counterattack of the American chaebols. Even if he has a wrist, in a short period of time, his main energy will still be focused on China to deal with those rich chaebols. Fan Qingqing smiled and said his analysis.
Li Mo took a look at the female secretary in surprise. He had just heard these words in his mind. Unexpectedly, Fan Qingqing thought of it early.
The chaebols in the United States are extremely powerful. Although they are not like those of the Trolas consortiums a hundred years ago, they have a lot of energy in Congress, and the chaebols can also control another group of people - voters.
What does the chaebol represent? Countless companies and bosses of countless employees. The will of the boss is the will of the employee, unless you plan to become a freelancer.
