Chapter 1123 Substitution

According to the data, there are 825 species of plants on the island of Socotra, the more famous peculiar trees are the dragon's blood tree, the desert rose and the sharp-leaved magnolia, the lily tree is rich in myrrh, the frankincense tree is rich in frankincense, and 37% of the plants are unique.

Ninety percent of reptiles and ninety-five percent of snail breeds are not seen anywhere else in the world.

Of the 192 species of birds living on the islands, 44 species breed on the island, 85 species migrate regularly, and 10 species are unique. For example, Socotra wren, sunbird, starling, white-cheeked bird, sparrow, fantail warbler and Socotra cormorant, etc.

Marine life is also very abundant, with 253 species of reef-building corals, 730 species of coastal fish, and more than 300 species of crabs, lobsters and shrimps.

"Bang Bang!"

"Honey, why do I keep hearing gunshots, what are you doing?" Yaxin asked.

"It's okay, the gendarmes are shooting wild cats and goats, invasive alien species that threaten the growth of native plants and birds, such as Socotra sparrows and starlings, and if this continues, they will become extinct."

"Although I am very reluctant to sign the approval, it is a pity that these precious birds and plants are unique to the world, but the wild cats and ibexs are not, and the two sides are compared, and I have to agree to the request of the Socotra Islands SAR Government." Wu Chen said helplessly.

The maintenance ship continued to sail to Port Blair, and Wu Chen took a group of beauties to stay on the island to visit, which could be regarded as a vacation.

The voyage of this maintenance ship has been protected by two Perry-class frigates, and the wealth worth more than 200 billion dollars cannot be missed. However, the escort did not use the warships of the African patrol fleet and was sent by the Socotra garrison.

The strategic location of the Socotra Islands is extremely important, so the naval command attaches great importance to it, and it is not an exaggeration to exaggerate that this is its own territory.

The port is currently undergoing large-scale modernization, in particular to add a large number of wharves and berths, as well as to build a special civilian terminal, and tourism is the main source of finance for Socotra.

Two Ohio-class cruise missile submarines, two Oscar-class cruise missile submarines, two Akula-class attack submarines, four Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines, as well as three Yankee-class cruise missile nuclear submarines and one Yankee-class attack nuclear submarine are parked in the offshore waters.

A Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, an Iwo Jima-class amphibious assault ship, a Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruiser, two Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers, two Ali Burke-class missile destroyers, four Spruance-class missile destroyers, four Perry-class frigates, four Krivac-class frigates, and two Austin-class dock landing ships, as well as a Marshal Krylov reconnaissance ship, are very powerful.

The reason why so many modern warships are dispatched has a lot to do with the upcoming second war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, don't think that the navy will not work for landlocked countries, if Wu Chen really makes a decision, all kinds of missiles on warships and nuclear submarines will definitely cause unforgettable experiences to the enemy.

"No wonder there is always not enough money to spend, the whole island of Socotra has become a construction site, and the coastline needs to be built with beaches and resorts, modern towns and cities, in addition to residential quarters, schools, hospitals, shopping malls, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, department stores, mosques, offices of various units of the SAR government, camps and dormitories of the military and police."

"The highway leading to the airport and the highway around the island, the road leading to the scenic spot, the botanical garden, the zoo, the bird house, the guardrails, the cable pipes, the street lights, the monitors, the water pipes, the sewage pipes, oh my God, how much does it cost!" Ying Ji said in surprise.

"No way, the infrastructure stage must be invested, and the output must be at least two years later, fortunately, the Socotra Islands are completely their own territory, and it is worth spending more money, they all say that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade, and when I closed my eyes, the descendants came here, did you feel my mood at the moment?" Wu Chen said with a smile.

"Then you old man should work harder, the family is big and troublesome, there is always an uneven distribution, there is no problem when you are alive, and when you die, we don't want to see a group of children turn their faces into enemies in order to fight for family property." Li Fuzhen said softly.

There are many magical places on this island, the Socotra land crab, which lives at an altitude of more than 700 meters, never goes to sea, and lives in the crevices of the rocks, where it is like foraging, mating and spawning.

The cucumber tree of the Socotra archipelago, the only tree of the Cucurbitaceae family, bears pink flowers. Socotra figs, also known as giant mulberries, are a plant that does not require soil at all to grow.

The government of the Socotra Islands Special Administrative Region requisitioned a hotel as a place for Wu Chen and the proprietress to stay, in fact, the first to break ground was Wu Chen's private house, known as the Socotra Island Manor, which could not let the boss come and have no land to live, the area was very large, and it was expected to take two years to complete.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Somali government suddenly held a press conference to announce that President Aideed had decided to resign in the near future due to his age and health, and that the Council of Ministers of the Government had decided to make President Aideed's son Hussain the second presidential candidate, and the National Assembly would vote tomorrow morning. Although Somalia is involved in the replacement of the old and the new, the current situation in the country is very stable, and the people have responded to this and expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the outgoing President Aideed...... "NBC reported.

"Governments around the world are highly concerned about the presidential change of the Somali government, and agree that under the existing conditions, Hussein is the best choice for Somalia, and if he can be successfully elected, it will help a smooth transition of power, and African countries have expressed their acceptance of such an outcome and wish Hussein a smooth ...... in the election," the BBC reported.

It was easy for the countries to get the news that President Aideed had made this decision soon after meeting Wu Chen on Socotra Island, and it can be inferred that in this conversation, the mercenaries supported Hussein to become president.

"Wu Chen, the No. 3 person of the mercenary corps, played a role in the replacement of the president of Somalia, he personally sat on Socotra Island, but his eyes looked at Somalia, in the face of the mercenary corps' permission, all forces could only obediently obey, and did not dare to jump out to compete with Hussein, which shows that the influence of mercenaries on African countries has reached a terrible level." This is how the presidential aide of the United States commented.
