459 Chapter 456 "Accepting Little Brother"

ps: A new day, ask for a recommendation ticket!

Recently, my mind was a little confused, and I forgot about the aircraft carrier's appearance!It can only be placed behind and appeared in another form.

——————

The list written in Eritrea’s documents is very long. In the final analysis, there is only one thing, and that is the hope that Somalia can help Eritrea build an army.

This is a long-term transaction, and the time span is at least five years. As long as Somalia agrees, Eritrea will immediately enact active-duty soldiers to come to Somalia for training, or Somali will send a team of officers to Eritrea to train troops, and the expenses incurred are all due to Eritrea bears.

As for the size of the training force temporarily set at 1,000, the equipment of the force is provided by Somalia, and it is naturally Eritrea to pay the bill.

The reason for Farah's discomfort is that most of the air force equipment on this list, Eritrea, is the air force trained by the Somali military.

Which army burns the most money?In addition to the navy, it is the air force.

Eritrea’s army is not much different from Ethiopia, but in terms of air force, it has always been weaker than Ethiopia.Eritrea, which has had a long war with Ethiopia, understands that if it wants to not lose the right to speak to Ethiopia in border matters in the future, the air force must be built.I think that during the Eritrean War, the Su-27 of the Ethiopian Air Force abused the MiG-29 of Eritrea several times.Both sides also invited foreign aid. Many Soviet pilots were hired by the two countries and joined the war.

This war is of interest to the Somali Air Force.It is the best choice for Eritrea. A team that can compete with traditional air powers such as the United States and France in air warfare can only be achieved by China, Russia and Britain.Now there is one more Somalia.This makes Somali fighters the choice of many people, which also includes the quality of Somali fighter pilots.

Eritrea is the first country to make such a request, but it is definitely not the last.

"But, what is Eritrea going to use to pay for this expense?" Farah is not aimless. Eritrea ranks 40th among African countries with annual revenue of 5 billion US dollars, which can be said to be the bottom of the ranks.

Let’s talk about this deal.Only a few in Africa can afford it.It is basically difficult to pay for the African economy after the top ten.Of course, this is based on the domestic economic structure.Otherwise, Eritrea can afford to pay for that year’s fiscal revenue.

If this account is to be calculated, it will be more complicated. If you want to train a group of excellent pilots.There will also be a number of combat aircraft.Based on the current international pricing of Black Hawk and Invader fighters in Somalia.The Black Hawk is priced at US$48 million, and the intruder is relatively cheaper, but it also costs US$36 million.This price.Judging from the performance of the fighter, it is already cheap enough to say nothing.Most people Li Lan would not give such a price.

Even if Eritrea buys ten aircraft, it will also purchase all the intruder medium-sized aircraft, which will cost more than 300 million yuan, plus the cost of training personnel, as well as various maintenance and maintenance of fighter aircraft, expensive aviation fuel, and ammunition used for training. At the end of the training of the air force pilots of these 1,000 Eritrean soldiers, plus the ten fighters purchased, it will definitely not be less than 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. If it is less than this number, Li Lan will not make a profit at all.

Moreover, not all of the 1,000 Eritrean personnel are pilots, and ground crews are already air defense personnel. Eritrea wants to build an air-ground air defense force.On this list, there is also the purchase of Somali anti-aircraft missiles. Somalia also needs to train personnel to use these missiles.

Compared with fighter planes, the price of anti-aircraft missiles is not much cheaper. Counting all this series, Eritrea needs to prepare at least 3 billion US dollars.This is simply overwhelming for a country with an annual income of only 5 billion.

"Sometimes, we can also do things for free, depending on how big the subsequent benefits are. After all, many things can't be measured by money." Regarding Farah's words, Li Lan simply explained.

"I understand this very well, but I don't understand what Eritrea has to help him." Farah shook his head, he could not think of Eritrea's role for Somalia.

This is not good at Farah. After all, Li Lan alone controls the follow-up military strategic plan. He is not clear about the details, and it is not too strange.And Farah’s starting point is also right. After all, Somalia is now a waste of money. It is when funds are needed to build the country. How can it be possible to squander its own money for a weak country?

"I'll deal with this matter. Your thoughts are not wrong. You will understand some things later." Li Lan smiled slightly, got up and came to Farah and patted him on the shoulder, and continued: "This document , You can initially agree, but for specific matters, let Eritrea send a significant person to negotiate. Remember, the word weight must be emphasized."

"Since you have a plan, I won't ask too much, I'll go down and make arrangements right away." Hearing what Li Lan said, Farah nodded his head as if enlightened. He admired Li Lan very much, and he knew very well, from the beginning to the end. Now, Li Lan has not made a loss-making business.Since he said that this matter is beneficial to his own side, it is definitely not aimless.

After Farah left, Li Lan walked to the electronic map of the office and entered Eritrea on the operation interface. Soon a long and narrow Eritrea map appeared in front of him.

Before independence, Eritrea was Ethiopia’s channel to the Red Sea and Ethiopia’s only sea channel.The dispute between Ethiopia and Eritrea was also due to the fact that after the independence revolution, Ethiopia not only lost its only outlet to the sea, but also lost a large area of ​​land.This led to a war that lasted for many years.At that time, the famous Sukhoi and MiG, the air battle that determined the status of Su-27 and MiG-29 was conducted between these two countries.

Ethiopia had a relatively good relationship with the Soviet Union at the time, and spent a lot of money to purchase the Su-27. Eritrea did not show any weakness, and purchased MiG-29s from MiG for US$25 million to fight the Su-27.The result of the war was naturally that the Su-27 overwhelmed the MiG-29. It was also because of this air battle that the Su-27’s international market became extremely large. Up to now, the Su-27 is still favored by many countries.

Now, the two sides have been calm for many years, but the boundary issue between them has not been well resolved.After ending the war with Ethiopia, Eritrea reduced the strength of the Eritrean People’s Army to 40,000, divided into only four armies, and stationed in the only four military regions in the country.With regard to the reserve service, because of the presence of Ethiopia, every citizen of Eritrea has to undergo military training for at least one and a half years after the age of 18. There are 1.5 million Eritrean citizens who are suitable to join the army. There is still a little war potential.

An enemy's enemy is a friend. What Li Lan values ​​is not Eritrea's economy, but his strategic position.Otherwise, a country with only 5 billion U.S. dollars in annual revenue, he really hasn't seen it.If a country has no strategic value and has no money, he will not bother to take care of it.It's like doing business, you always have to see the benefits before you invest.

It is not Li Lan’s idea to forge one’s neighbors into a military quasi-alliance, but a signal from Eritrea for a dozen years. This is not difficult to understand.With so many lists, the meaning is obvious without talking about the money. To put it more groundlessly, Eritrea is worshiping the boss.

Since he has decided to accept this little brother, Li Lan will call the little brother up front and have a good conversation.After all, this kind of thing cannot be determined by unilateral will.

In Li Lan's eyes, this little brother has a lot of places to show his heat. Outside of Ethiopia, there is a thorn in the throat of Djibouti.After the peace talks are over, Djibouti is still the back garden of France, and the US military stationed in Djibouti is only a lot more. In the future, this place is likely to become an important place for the United States to contain Somalia.

Maybe this will become the location of the US military's anti-missile system someday. This possibility is extremely high and extremely high.After all, the United States cannot really allow Somalia to develop well in the future. One of the factors that led to the end of this war is that the United States will inevitably take actions in the future because of the intercontinental missiles and nuclear bombs tested by Somalia.Just like encircling China and Russia, an anti-missile system is also installed in Djibouti. This is an old routine of the US military.

If this is the case, then Eritrea has played a role. After all, the US military will not be so stupid to put its missile forces under the attack of the opponent.

Eritrea’s geographical location also plays a very important role. Once Somalia has an air base in western Eritrea, it will be only 1,600 kilometers away from the Suez Canal, which is completely within the combat radius of fighters.During the war, this place is very necessary.

People without thought, he must worry about.You can't see it too far away, and what you see so far is worth Li Lan's contribution.Of course, some things require Eritrea's consent.Come to think of it, to be able to make this list, Eritrea has also made such preparations.

As for how much benefits can be discussed, this requires the efforts of the Ministry of Defense.

After closing the map, Li Lan checked the time, walked out of the office, took the elevator, and went directly to the console.

During this period of time, not only diplomatic matters require his busyness, but the construction of the base has never stopped.At present, his activity circle is basically in those places. In addition to holding high-level government meetings, there are instructions documents. The remaining time is either planning a new nine-year strategy or busying base development work in front of the console.

He is in a hurry and wants to finish all these tasks as soon as possible, and then draw up an international travel route map.
