Chapter 201: Lobbying
Hu Zhiyun was a little confused, because he couldn't think of such a place in the waters of the Gulf of Aden.
Yemen? Oman?
Oman is too far away, and its geographical location is much inferior to Djibouti; Yemen, its own country is in a mess, and it is impossible for foreign troops to be stationed at all, so where else?
It can't be Somalia!
It seems more unreliable here than Yemen?
"Where are you talking about?"
"Kutos!"
"Just you? Ask someone to go, but no one is going yet. Hu Zhiyun scoffed.
Xiao Yang didn't dare to say that his uncle was not, and said with a smile: "This is the case now, but what if Kutos joins Somaliland, and Somaliland is recognized by the international community and becomes a sovereign state?" ”
Hu Zhiyun immediately fell silent.
As a veteran intelligence officer, how can you not know the importance of this statement? Geographically, Kutos is definitely no worse than Djibouti, and in some senses, even more important, if it does become a sovereign state, a port city in the eastern part of the Horn of Africa, it will become a battleground for soldiers.
"How?"
Hearing Hu Zhiyun say this, Xiao Yang knew that he had preliminarily agreed with his thoughts, so he said his detailed thoughts, "...... There are always a few allies in the country, plus the United States and Italy, and that's pretty much it. ”
Hu Zhiyun thought about it again, and had to admit that Xiao Yang's idea was really likely to succeed, but thinking about it, he was probably the only one who had this opportunity, after all, there were few people in this world who could have good relations with a few countries.
"I'll report this news right away, you'd better leave immediately, I think someone will definitely want to see you."
Xiao Yang raised his hand and looked at the time, "Okay, I'll leave later." ”
That night, he left Somalia and arrived in the capital at about noon the next day, domestic time.
At the airport, Hu Zhiyun personally came to pick him up, arranged for little Ivan and Matt, and he followed Hu Zhiyun and went directly to Ouchi.
The place is still the same yard that I have been to twice, and the person is still the old man.
There was no politeness, and after the staff made tea and Xiao Yang took two sips, the old man asked him, "Why did you kid come up with this?" ”
If it was an official-style conversation, Xiao Yang was really not used to it, the old man's homely tone made him more cordial, "That ambitious tribal leader is now eyeing the position of president of Somaliland, I heard the news yesterday, so I discussed it with my brothers, is this good for us......"
"As a result, my brother told me that there was no good, only bad, and of course I didn't want to do it, and then he said that if Somaliland was recognized by the international community, then we would have more benefits...... So the idea came about. ”
He replied a little long-winded, but the old man did not seem to be impatient in the slightest, and just smiled and listened to him.
"Then you were the first to hit us with the idea?" The old man laughed and joked.
"That's right." Xiao Yang admitted with a smile, without the slightest embarrassment, "But it is also a great benefit, the United States, France, and Japan are now all building military bases in Djibouti, blocking the shipping route from the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea. ”
"If you fight in Djibouti, you will definitely have to pay a lot of money, but Kutos is different, just say a few words at the United Nations, think about the benefits for the country more."
"Hehe......" The old man pointed at Xiao Yang, "You kid is smart, but you also take things too lightly, this matter can't be solved with just a few words." ”
Xiao Yang naturally knew that otherwise, the Somaliland government would have been tinkering for so many years and spending so much effort, and in the end it would still achieve nothing.
He said this just to lighten the subject, and the permanent members of the United Nations are not comparable to the half-baked countries of Somaliland, and it is not too difficult to do that if there is such an idea in the country.
However, there is domestic thinking in the country, and of course I will not say anything very relaxed in front of the elderly.
Smile and smile without many words.
Seeing him like this, the old man was a little helpless, knowing that some things must be hidden from him, so he changed the topic and asked him what other tricks he had, "This is not something that our country can do." ”
If someone else asked this question, Xiao Yang would not necessarily answer, but the old man's question, he did not have the slightest reservation, "Out of here, I will immediately go to Italy, and then go to the United States, it is estimated that after this trip, the task is basically completed." ”
It was reasonable, but the old man still frowned, "What kind of chips are you going to give them?" ”
Xiao Yang spread his hands, "There are no bargaining chips, lobbying is the main thing." They are wolves that can't be fed, and I don't dare to get a big fish to feed them at once. ”
The old man relieved himself and smiled, "In that case, your difficulty will increase a lot." ”
In terms of politics, Xiao Yang thinks that he is definitely not as good as the old man in front of him, but in some small things, he is confident that he is more experienced than the old man, and it is true that the difficulty has increased a little, but this does not mean that there is no hope, in his opinion, even if it is to draw cakes to satisfy hunger, some people will still be thirsty.
"It doesn't matter, it's just to add some difficulty, those politicians in Western countries are very realistic, as long as they poke their weaknesses, they will come to your bowl one by one. Sometimes you draw a pie and they have to pounce on it with joy. ”
"Haha......" The old man shook his head and smiled, but did not answer.
Although it is a private conversation, his identity cannot speak as unscrupulously as Xiao Yang.
This matter is related to the strategy of a country, even if it is an old man, it is impossible to answer Xiao Yang immediately, and after talking for about half an hour, he bluntly said that Xiao Yang was "driven" out of the door, "Okay, I know, you will stay in the capital for the past two days, don't go anywhere, and I will inform you when the time comes." ”
Xiao Yang immediately said goodbye, but when he got up, he said something that made the old man cry and laugh, "I'm definitely not going anywhere, but can you give me some tea from you?" This tea is so delicious, but unfortunately it is not sold outside. ”
"Flim Flam." The old man glared at him, but when he went out, he asked Xu Jianguo to prepare a pack for him.
"You kid, it's the first time I've seen something I can eat and take here, it's really good." Xu Jianguo sent Xiao Yang outside the courtyard and said to him with a smile.
Looking at his playful smile, Xiao Yang felt that his face was a little hot, so he could only say with a shy face: "No way, who told me to take this bite?" After drinking here last time, I thought about it for a month, but I didn't have to sell it outside, so I had to be cheeky and ask for it. ”
Xu Jianguo patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, tell me when you're done drinking, but remember to save a little, there aren't many here." ”
"Okay." With a long-term commitment, Xiao Yang was overjoyed, and then said something about his classmate, and then said goodbye and left.
