Chapter 900: Ask Japan to withdraw from the base
"What, I don't understand what you mean, is something happening? Isn't it just that a building was smashed and a few people were injured? Our base is responsible for compensation." Kurosawa Rin said.
"Kurosawa, I'm afraid it's not as simple as compensation now. Haven't you watched the live broadcast of President Djibouti's speech in the hospital just now?" Ambassador Toyoro Yoshikawa said angrily.
Kurosawa Lin really didn't see it yet. He now wants to write a report to report the incident to the Navy Headquarters. Besides, he is not interested in watching the local TV station in Djibouti.
With Ambassador Toro Yoshikawa's explanation, Kurosawa Rin gradually realized that it seemed that this time the matter was a little troublesome. The new President Odova actually moved out the terms of the agreement to lease the military base and said the words to clear the Japanese base. This attitude is too tough.
There were some accidents in the base before, but were all just compensated? This time it was just a temple and no one died. It was our soldiers who died, okay? Is it necessary to be so excited?
As for the content of the agreement signed when leasing the Djibouti base, well, although he is the base commander, he really doesn't remember the above terms. On the streets of Djibouti, there are more military vehicles from various countries than local cars.
Which of the planes from other countries did not fly randomly in the urban area of Djibouti? Who has complied with the agreement?
This time there was an accident, but is it necessary to make a big deal and keep abreast of things?
In Kurosawa Lin's heart, he felt that the new president was to build momentum, to establish his image of patriotism, the people and not fearing power, and to establish his image for himself, a typical politician behavior.
Kurosawa Lin didn't realize how serious the matter was.
"Ambassador Yoshikawa, please help us deal with this matter. I believe that as long as the compensation conditions are met, the Djibouti government will not make things difficult for Japan in this matter. It is just a simple flight accident. There are no dead people in Djibouti." Kurosawa Lin said relaxedly.
"I will still report this matter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The chief will naturally make a decision. I am waiting for the news now. Kurosawa, I suggest you better report it to the domestic Navy headquarters." Yoshikawa Tokuro finished speaking and hung up the phone.
Is it really such a problem? But Kurosawa Lin was careful and reported the situation here to the Japanese military headquarters.
After receiving the report from the Embassy in Djibouti, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately reported to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and then contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Djibouti to try to communicate and resolve the matter. The response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Djibouti was surprised by the Japanese side.
In Djibouti, the Supreme Parliament is being held to discuss opinions on handling the fall of Japanese military aircraft. More importantly, it is about Djibouti's security issues.
Now there are more than 10,000 troops stationed in Djibouti, and these people, dozens of fighter jets and dozens of warships, if they are not implemented in accordance with the provisions of the agreement, the national dignity of Djibouti will be gone.
Today, a helicopter without missiles fell into the city. The year before yesterday, the Presidential Palace was bombed into ruins by Spanish warships. In the past, more than a dozen military vehicle accidents occurred in the city, which also caused casualties and injuries to Djibouti citizens.
These incidents have shown that the security of Djibouti's capital and the national dignity of Djibouti have been seriously challenged. If this continues, those countries will become more unscrupulous.
Odova stood in the center of the parliament, staring at all the parliamentarians with sharp eyes, and said loudly: "Djibouti is poor and backward, Djibouti is sparse in population, and Djibouti's military strength is weak, but this does not mean that Djibouti is weak and can be bullied. It does not mean that other countries can not abide by the signed agreements and run rampant in our capital at will on our land."
"Djibouti has its own constitution, and we have the "AU" behind us. We have this friend of China and hundreds of millions of Muslim brothers. Djibouti is developing rapidly, so I think it is necessary to restrain those Westerners. In Djibouti, they must abide by the regulations of Djibouti and comply with the provisions of the agreement."
"So I suggest that the military bases of various countries must strictly follow Article 12 of the Agreement, and that any military weapons, equipment, vehicles, and aircraft of other countries shall not enter the city and sky of Djibouti without the consent of the Djibouti government, and disrupt the normal life of the Djibouti people."
"With this time the Japanese plane crash, I suggest that I issue a revocation notice to Japan, requiring them to evacuate all military charities from Djibouti within 5 months and terminate the lease agreement with Japan."
"Djibouti, people who do not follow the rules are not welcome."
After Odova finished speaking, more than 60 MPs began to discuss and made a buzzing sound. Odova knew that these people were concerned about the rental income of Djibouti's base, because it was equivalent to about one-tenth of Djibouti's total national output value.
Worried about Japan's reaction, those Westerners' reaction, possible follow-up events, and their reduction in aid, Djibouti will fall into famine.
This is also the reason why Odova had the right to issue a presidential decree alone to enforce all this, but had to hold a plenary meeting of parliamentarians, because he knew that he might face great resistance in the future. He needed people's support, and hoped that most people would support him so that he could better implement this plan.
Is it difficult to get those Westerners to abide by the rules?
If it is a developed country or a country with strong military strength, they will naturally obey the other party's rules.
But in Djibouti, they would not, even if they were clearly written in the agreement, they never abide by it, because they would not care about Djibouti's views, or even about Djibouti's protests.
But, this is the territory of Djibouti, and they are outsiders.
Odova felt that if you want to develop the country, you must go out this step. Mr. Mu Yang was right, "From now on, we must establish the dignity of the country."
Today, let’s start with this step.
Let those Westerners know that in Djibouti, they need to abide by the rules of Djibouti.
A member of parliament came forward and asked: "His Excellency the President, if such an order is issued, for example, it will be subject to certain resistance, especially if the lease agreement with Japan is stopped, Japan will definitely not agree, and the Americans will definitely help Japan. How should we deal with it? Will it affect our rental income next year, will it affect the aid, will it make Djibouti face a military crisis, and how should we deal with these."
