Chapter 854: Shocked Leadership
"Leader, what I report is about Djibouti's domestic election and about presidential candidate Moussa Le Odova," Mu Yang said.
Deputy Minister Guo nodded and signaled Mu Yang to continue.
"Musa Lai Odova is the Minister of Agriculture and Food in Djibouti. Now one of the three candidates for the Djibouti general election is also the most likely to win the presidential position." Mu Yang said.
"I have read the report on the current domestic situation in Djibouti and I am quite familiar with the situation there." Deputy Minister Guo means that Mu Yang can be said to be the key point, so there is no need to introduce other situations.
"I had contacted Odova long before and established a certain friendship. The French were interested in assisting Odova to take office and gain more benefits in Djibouti, but Odova himself did not believe too much in the Westerners."
"Through communication with Odova, and the concept of common progress and development in other African countries, Odova feels that it is more suitable for Djibouti than Westerners wanting to control and absorb interests in Djibouti. Therefore, we have reached a certain consensus that he is willing to cooperate with China in all aspects," Mu Yang said.
Vice Minister Guo’s eyes lit up and asked: “To what extent is the overall cooperation? Is there any specific content?”
"We have also talked privately that the infrastructure in Djibouti is very weak now. If they want to develop Djibouti, they need all-round support. Of course, they will also open up the market in Djibouti, and some projects can be developed in cooperation."
"Also, they can provide resources they can provide for certain exchanges of interests. For example, support China in building a military base in Djibouti." Mu Yang said.
Deputy Minister Guo was stunned, and then he showed a joyful look, and even a disbelief on his face.
The current situation in China can be described in eight words, "work hard and move forward with difficulty". Western countries have set up technical barriers and military blockades on us. The situation in neighboring countries is complex and there is no stable environment. It can be said that we have been surrounded and intercepted by some countries because they do not want us to develop.
China has also been seeking support and cooperation from other countries, so there are so many so-called aid projects. Don’t think that everyone in China is stupid and has a lot of money because we need other support, and sometimes these support is indispensable.
We are also trying to break through. The new Silk Road is our new strategy. If we can have our own military base in Djibouti's strategic focus and have our own military base at the throat, it will definitely be a big deal and a good thing for China.
A thing that can affect many countries will be like a thorn in their throats, because 80% of the maritime transportation of Western countries passes through this route.
Thinking of this, Vice Minister Guo couldn't hide his excitement and said: "What you said is true. This Odova candidate is indeed what you promised to you."
"Yes." Mu Yang replied in a very affirmative tone.
"Your previous report said that the chances of this Minister Odova have a very high victory. If nothing unexpected happens, it is very likely to succeed. Is that true?"
"Yes." Mu Yang replied again.
"You are so sure." Vice Minister Guo was a little surprised that Mu Yang answered so confidently.
"Originally, President Gale was the most likely to succeed, but after those incidents, their political parties lost the possibility of competing for the position of president. The other three political parties now form an alliance, and the one who calls the highest and may succeed in the end is Minister Odova." Mu Yang said.
"If you do this, leave and get a report. I want to report this matter to Minister Yang. The report should be as detailed as possible and analyzed clearly." Deputy Minister Guo ordered.
"Okay." Mu Yang stood up and prepared to go to other offices to prepare a report.
At this time, Vice Minister Guo said: "Don't go to other places. Use the secretary's computer. I'll wait for you here and get it out as soon as possible."
Vice Minister Guo is really anxious.
He called the secretary and took Mu Yang outside and used his computer to report. However, Vice Minister Guo himself picked up the phone and called Minister Yang.
"What, do you say that Xiao Mu and Odova have reached an agreement to establish a comprehensive cooperative partnership with China to develop Djibouti together. Is Xiao Mu's original words said?" Minister Yang was also very surprised when he heard the news.
He had just received a report from Deputy Minister Li, saying that Mu Yang had obtained a very heavy intelligence information, which was the latest production process information of the United States for marine deck alloy steel. Minister Yang had just reported to the leaders of the National Academy of Fisheries and was preparing to organize experts to analyze and study the information they obtained.
Before he set out, he received a report from Vice Minister Guo, and the matter was even more serious.
You know, no matter how small Djibouti is, it is still a country. China has only paid attention to Djibouti's presidential election before, but if it is really as Mu Yang said, if Odova succeeds in the election, then China can make great strides into Djibouti and gain great benefits.
China does not necessarily need to obtain any oil, mining and other resources from Djibouti. Sometimes, intangible resources are also very important, even more than some tangible resources.
If it is true that as Mu Yang said, a military base can be obtained in Djibouti, then the Chinese navy can have a foothold in Africa. This is of great significance and cannot be compared with some money.
Sometimes, some things are not necessarily something you can buy with money.
"Where is Muyang now?" Minister Yang asked.
"Now I'm writing a report outside. I'll ask him to get a detailed analysis and report material to report to you." Vice Minister Guo said.
"Well, then, let him speed faster, I'll wait for him." Minister Yang said and put down the phone.
Minister Yang thought about it, picked up the phone again, and called the leaders of the National Academy of Fisheries. This matter should be said to be more important than the previous one.
The production process of a special steel is very important, which may affect the production of aircraft carriers, warships, and submarines in China and increase military strength. But that may also be a few years later.
And if a comprehensive cooperative relationship is really established with Djibouti, the benefits China can obtain will be very direct and incalculable.
