Chapter 173 Jungle World!
Camp Lemonnier military base, the largest military base of the United States in Africa, is located in Ellia. It monitors African countries under the banner of protecting the interests of other countries.
Ellia, located at the northeastern tip of Africa, has a special geographical location that allows it to control the most important part of the Suez Canal and the entrance to the Atlantic Ocean.
Most Chinese merchant ships and oil tankers that want to enter the Atlantic Ocean from the Indian Ocean will pass through the Suez Canal under the jurisdiction of Ellia, and they need to pay freight to Ellia based on tonnage.
According to official statistics, in 2019 alone, the Suez Canal generated US$100 billion in revenue for Ellia!
The Suez Canal not only has an important economic status, but its strategic position is equally important:
Once a war breaks out between China and Western countries, the Suish Canal in Ellia will become the throat to contain the war. If warships can pass through the Suish Canal unimpeded, they can drive straight in and threaten the homeland of both sides.
Therefore, the Suish Canal in Ellia is of extremely important significance to China.
As one of the four ancient civilizations like China, the relationship between the Ellia government and China has always been pretty good.
Especially after the former President Elliya Muback came to power, he took the initiative to visit China and signed many trade treaties, which further deepened the relationship between China and Ellia.
However, the good times did not last long. Since the former president was ousted by a military coup and died inexplicably in court, Ellia's attitude has undergone a huge change, not to mention the abolition of trade treaties, and it has increasingly targeted Huaxia.
In the first year that the current President Sisi came to power, he initiated a dumping investigation case against Chinese goods, and finally ruled that dumping was established, and decided to ban five major categories of goods exported from China to Erlia, including steel, chemical fiber, and plastics. Heavy taxes were levied.
Last year, it was announced that the collection of anti-dumping duties would be postponed for another five years.
There is no doubt that the United States must be causing trouble behind this.
According to the news revealed in US President Jack's recent public speech, in order to maintain peace and freedom in black Africa, the United States will dispatch more troops to the Camp Lemonnier military base, and the base will be further expanded.
According to data, the Camp Lemonnier base has been expanded twice. Today, the Camp Lemonnier military base is almost the same size as half the city of Ellia...
Today the base is still undergoing crazy expansion.
After hearing the news, Chen Fang naturally understood:
The United States is preparing to build a naval port that can dock aircraft carriers so that it can completely control the Suez Canal.
This is not only the current situation in Ellia, but also the reason why Chen Fang aims at the Suish Canal.
"I'm done~||."
Chen Fang stopped thinking, turned his head and smiled lightly, looking at the General Staff Officer: "The Chief of Staff should also have expressed his intention, right?"
"I don't believe you came here specifically to chat with me."
Chen Fang spoke slowly.
"I do have something I want to talk to you about."
The smile on the chief of general staff's face gradually faded.
"According to our intelligence, a civil war is about to break out in Ellia!"
The chief of general staff made a surprising statement.
"civil war?"
Chen Fang's eyes flashed.
"That's right." The Chief of General Staff nodded, "On one side is the current government of Ellia, and on the other side is "Cao Mail", the second son of former President Muback of Ellia."
"Although Ellia now claims to have completed the coup, there is only one legitimate government."
"But the current domestic situation in Erlia is not clear. After the death of former President Muback, his second son Gamal fled to southern Erlia and gained support from many provinces.
"Today Gamal has a lot of provincial support and a lot of troops, but he only has no source of weapons."
Speaking of this, the chief of general staff couldn't help but look at Chen Fang one more time.
"China never interferes in the internal affairs of other countries, so our official support is for the Ellia government. "And we strongly call on both parties to resolve the issue peacefully through dialogue."
'.々But..."
The chief of general staff changed the subject: "Obviously, it is more in the interests of China for the Gamal family to come to power."
If the Muback family is eliminated, the government will have complete control over the entire Ellia.
The United States, which has always supported the coup government, can build an airport on the Suez Canal without any scruples...
Once the construction is completed, it means that the US aircraft carrier will have extremely high maneuverability and rapid supply capabilities, and can point directly to the Chinese mainland.
The danger has been raised to another level!
This is the part that the Chief of General Staff did not say.
And Chen Fang finally understood why the Chief of General Staff came to the high seas to see him in person.
Obviously, China hopes to help Gamal win the civil war, but due to international influence, China itself cannot have anything to do with this matter.
After all, China has always made it clear that it will not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
This matter was too important, so the Chief of General Staff gave up all the intermediate links and told him personally.
After understanding all this, Chen Fang couldn't help but smile.
China has been trying its best to portray itself as a harmless little white rabbit, so harmless that domestic people even think the country is too weak.
But Chen Fang knows very well that China is really far behind the little white rabbit.
This world is a naked jungle society, where the law of the jungle is the only law.
If China is really a little white rabbit, how can it survive in this jungle?
