Chapter 830: The Independence of Kutos
The people sent by Commander Xie didn't know Xiao Yang before, but before leaving, Commander Xie still introduced Xiao Yang, of course, he wouldn't tell them everything, just told them that Xiao Yang was the liaison between the two armies training programs, and they could find him if they had anything that could not be solved when they arrived in Somaliland.
And after they came to Kutos, this was once again learned from Tang Jian's mouth, when the group returned to the base from outside, they were a little surprised to hear that Xiao Yang invited them to dinner in the evening.
"This Mr. Xiao finally appeared?" This time, Senior Colonel Liu, who had the highest rank in the group, asked in surprise.
Although he is not a navy, he has some connections with Commander Xie, so he knows more about Xiao Yang, it can be said that he has long admired such a person, and when he came over before, he learned that Xiao Yang was not in Kutos, and he was still a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't expect to suddenly appear and invite them to dinner.
It was the deputy political commissar of the base who informed them, a good old man with a smile, but the work is not ordinarily solid, he is now also one of the core figures of the base, and he doesn't know as much about Xiao Yang as Tang Jian and Feng Guofeng, but it is not less, in his opinion, although Xiao Yang usually doesn't put on a show, but he can let him invite him to dinner, that's really not much, there is no other reason, he is busy.
He and Colonel Liu are old acquaintances, although they can't tell him some of Xiao Yang's deeds, but some reminders are still okay, these days, Colonel Liu asked him about Xiao Yang, and he also said something not too important, and he also had a little clarity about the thoughts of this old acquaintance, and said with a smile: "It is not easy to let this person invite him to dinner, here, he can speak more effectively than us." ”
Senior Colonel Liu already knew about it and didn't feel anything, but the others were different, and it was inevitable that they would be surprised, but they were all soldiers, and they paid attention to discipline, so even if they were surprised, no one asked.
At half past five in the evening, Xiao Yang met for the first time the team members of the training army for the Somaliland government army.
There are few soldiers who can't drink, the wine glass is raised, a few glasses of wine are down, and the atmosphere is suddenly lively, and when the banquet disperses, Xiao Yang is not familiar with them, but he can also say a few words.
Before parting, he told everyone: "On the side of the Somaliland government, I have already greeted them, and if there is any need in the future, even if I mention it to them, if they can't solve it, let Commander Tang tell me, and I will try my best to help you solve it." ”
A few days later, Dika's side was ready, Xiao Yang also deliberately sent everyone to Hargeisa, and once again explained to Dika, paying attention to everyone's safety, and it was considered to have fulfilled his responsibility.
In the presidential palace, he received everyone with a very high standard, and expressed his attitude of mentioning any requests halfway, which laid the foundation for a happy cooperation with the group.
"Xiao, thank you so much this time." After the interview, he and Xiao Yang were left in the office, and he lost the majesty of the previous president, and his speech became much more casual.
"But whether it is autonomous or directly administered, Kutos is a part of Somaliland after all, and this will not change now, and it will not change in the future." Xiao Yang shook his head, "Independence or something, at least we never thought about it, so what is good for Somaliland is also good for Kutos, I can't say thank you or not, I am also for ourselves." ”
Deka was a little stunned, Kutos's problem, there have always been other voices in the government, just because Xiao Yang is strong, and it has not become bigger, and even sometimes, he himself has thought about it, once Xiao Yang and they want to be independent, so what?
However, this thought appeared in his mind and the answer was instantaneous: compared to Somaliland, what is Kutos?
If it weren't for Xiao Yang, they would still be just a country that is not recognized by the international community, and their economy and finance would not be in line with international standards, and diplomacy would not be in line with international standards. There is no diplomacy at all, the world only knows Somalia but does not know Somaliland, such a country will never have the possibility of development, and it does not matter to the whole world whether it exists or not, besides, Kutos has been in the warlord separatism, and it is not in the territory of Somaliland in the first place, compared to the rise of a country, what about paying a small city that does not exist in the territory in the first place?
At that time, he even decided that if Kutos really wanted to be independent, no matter how loud the other voices in the government were, he would suppress it.
As Kutos developed day by day, this idea came to his mind many times, and he felt that this possibility was getting bigger and bigger, but he never thought that Xiao Yang would say this to him one day.
"Shaw, you...... You're not kidding? "You know, even if he is the president, once Kutos wants to become independent, he will admit great pressure, after all, although the city is small, it is also territory, which country, not territory? When Xiao Yang said this today, it completely solved his worries.
Although he didn't think that Xiao Yang's identity would joke with him, he still couldn't believe it.
Everyone knows that once Kutos becomes independent, Xiao Yang and they will become the king here, and in terms of political status, they don't know how much higher than the current municipality in Somaliland, he doesn't believe it, Xiao Yang They don't know this.
Xiao Yang put forward this today, of course, not on a whim, but after discussing with everyone, although it is good to become an independent country, it is not necessarily all good for them, first of all, Kutos is too small, and secondly, there are not many resources, plus their actions, maybe one day they will tear their faces with which country, some small countries may not be worried, but what if it is a big country like the United States?
What then? Kutos now relies entirely on Somaliland for its development, and what will happen if it becomes two countries? Dika is in power, everything is easy to say, but Dika can't never come down from that position, what should I do at that time?
If the rulers cut off the economic exchanges between the two places, then they can only live by fishing, and it is too unreliable for the fishing industry to support a country.
It's really to that point, not to mention the big countries that offend, that is, Somaliland is enough for them to perish, but Kutos has always belonged to Somaliland, so it's different, Kutos contributes a part of the finances to Somaliland every year, so the government has to have a certain responsibility, even if it offends a certain country, with them in front, the other party can't easily start a war against Somaliland, which is to provide Xiao Yang with a layer of protection.
Therefore, considering many reasons, Oman and others agreed that they would not consider the issue of independence in the future, so there are Xiao Yang's words today.
"I'm okay kidding you?" He glared at Dika angrily, "Some people in your house are dissatisfied with the autonomy of Kutos, you think I don't know?" We don't have the heart to be independent, and we can't tell when we leave, to build a country? What's in it for us? As long as you have money, you can be an uncle everywhere, don't you say? So we don't have to do those thankless things......"
