After the discussion was finalized, Zhang Ziyu quickly received a notice from Ganqin. At ten o'clock in the morning in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, Zhang Ziyu sat down with the British Minister of Commerce and the Vice President of Kenya again.
, communicate on follow-up matters regarding the Kenyan garrison.
After several days of communication, the three parties discussed that a mechanized battalion on Bentley Island would be stationed in the small town of Wajir on the border between Kenya and Gunmali, where the Gunmali ethnic group is mainly inhabited.
At the same time, an electronic reconnaissance aircraft and twelve Mirage 2000cs from Bentley Island are also stationed in the town of Wajir, and a military airport will be established around it. The British side will station an airborne battalion, a land aviation battalion of 12 armed helicopters, and
Two electronic reconnaissance patrol aircraft and three British military transport aircraft.
Traffic in East Africa is at this level, mainly relying on fighter planes and airdrops. Zhang Ziyu did not expect that the British would pay so much attention to this side. It seems that it does not matter if there is no Bentley Island garrison. The British side is very determined to return to Kenya.
You must know that this is just the layout of the Wajir military base. In the Lamu Islands, the British will build a new naval base, and a British naval detachment will be stationed here.
In terms of military expenditures, Kenya cannot afford such huge military expenses. The British and Bentley Islands are responsible for their own garrisons, and the construction and maintenance costs of the Wajir military base are also borne by the British. Bentley Island only needs to pay for the living of its own troops here.
Just expenses, wages and training materials for your own troops.
Originally, the separate military garrison on Bentley Island has now become a joint garrison, and the military base is also called the British Wajir Military Base.
If he hadn't consulted Li Guangyu, Zhang Ziyu would not have dared to agree to such a cooperation. Now that Bentley Island's troops are stationed here, they will definitely be affected by the British side. Although a joint command has been established here, Chen Mingfei, the leader of the Bentley Island Aviation Regiment,
As the person in charge of Bentley Island's military base in Wajir, the chief officer of the joint command will indeed be from the British side.
Anyway, Zhang Ziyu felt that this time it was a bit of a loss, so he just let the British make the decision. The British were not willing to pay any military expenses for Bentley Island, and they also wanted Bentley Island to fund the construction of a military base. Zhang Ziyu was angry with the British Minister of Commerce at that time.
, prepare to break up immediately.
After several days of wrangling, mainly between Bentley Island and the British side, the Kenyan side chose to remain silent most of the time. Zhang Ziyu even directly negotiated with the British side on some issues alone, and finally came up with such a plan.
Although they did not gain control of the joint command, the British side did not have the right to make special transfers to Bentley Island's troops at the Wajir military base, which must be authorized by Bentley Island.
In order to speed up the development of Kenya, Yulon Group established an automobile production base in Mombasa to mainly produce Yulon automobiles to supply the African market.
On the eve of returning to Bentley Island, Zhang Ziyu held separate talks with Kenyan Vice President Mussad.
In the living room, Zhang Ziyu said to him: "Mr. Mussad, Kenya is one of the key development areas of our Li Group. In the future, we will have more companies coming to invest in Kenya. This is the vice president of Nanhua Food and Beverage
Zhou Jianming, he will be based in Kenya in the future and will be responsible for all our Li’s industries in Kenya. If you have any questions, you can communicate with him at any time.”
This time, the key areas for investment by the Lee Consortium and its allies are Kenya and Tanzania. Uganda is just incidental, and there are not many benefits there to attract the Lee Consortium.
Zhou Jianming is in charge here, while Masahiro Itazumi, vice president of Xiangjiang Petrochemical Group, is in charge of the Tanzania side. This is another Li who is responsible for the affairs of a group or a place after Fujiwara Keiyin, Zhou Zhigang, and Iwatani Toru.
A Japanese senior executive of the consortium.
Mussad is still very satisfied with Kenya's investment results this time. Although the British and Bentley Islands will station troops in their country, it will not have a big impact on them. On the contrary, it will make Kenya safer. Anyway, they do not need to pay for military expenses themselves.
, and also allow these thousands of garrison troops to spend money here.
At the same time, the railway from Mombasa to Nairobi and to Kampala, the capital of Uganda, will not only drive Kenya's infrastructure, but will also provide many jobs after it is opened.
As for the food and beverage industrial park, clothing industrial park, and Yulon Group's automobile industry base invested by the Lee Consortium, these can bring thousands of jobs to Kenya and inject vitality into their domestic economy.
At the same time, Kenya has also signed an agreement with the Li Foundation. Every year, Kenya has 500 places to study at Hong Kong No. 9 School and Bentley University. In the future, more people in Kenya will have the opportunity to receive higher education. After they return from their studies, they can drive
Better development in Kenya.
Moreover, they also purchased two sets of fertilizer production equipment from Eastern Europe at a relatively low price through Donghua Trading Company. Mussad believes that through the unremitting efforts of their government, Kenya's future development will be better and better.
Poverty is not terrible, as long as the domestic political situation is stable and the government is willing to develop, Mussad believes that Kenya in the future will definitely become one of the regions with the best economic development in Africa.
Kenya is willing to make changes. As long as the quality of life of Kenyan citizens can be improved, it doesn't matter if the British and Bentley Islands garrison troops. This is not a shame. You must know that many powerful countries in Western Europe also have troops stationed in many countries. Compared with them, Kenya has
What can be worthy of pride?
Mussad spoke up and said: "Ms. Zhang, please rest assured that our government will do its best to protect the legitimate rights and interests of your companies. We will set up police stations in the food and beverage industrial park, clothing industrial park, and auto parts industrial park to protect
Local security.
We also welcome Li's Industries and our allies to visit our country in Kenya, and welcome companies to invest in us. I believe Kenya will not let you down, and investing in Kenya will definitely lead to mutual benefits and win-win results."
Zhang Ziyu then discussed with Kenya the cooperation between the Kenyan government and the Bentley Group, in which the Kenyan government ordered 20 Hengtong buses and 50 Jinniu trucks.
Its buses mainly operate the road route from Nairobi to Mombasa, and its Jinniu trucks are used by the Kenyan government for construction.
During Zhang Ziyu's discussions with senior officials in England and Kenya these days, Li Guangyu personally met with Cao Weiqing, Fujiwara Huiyin, Guo Fengtao, head of Southeast Asia of the Lee Group, Chen Linwen, president of Hengyu Supermarket Group, Wang Junchang, president of Xiangjiang Air Transport Group, and Vice President of Bentley Group Asia
The business president, vice president of Chunghwa Electric Group and other senior executives went to Haiphong City, Vietnam to communicate on investment in Vietnam.
This year, the Lee Consortium has invested in Romania, three East African countries, and now Vietnam. The investment lineup is extremely large, and the funds are also quite shocking. The outside world is once again shocked by the strong capital reserves of the Lee Consortium.
As far as Romania is concerned, the total investment in the three East African countries exceeds 20 billion U.S. dollars, not counting other investments made by major groups of the Lee Consortium.
There will definitely be no shortage of investment in Vietnam this time. This makes countless forces envious and at the same time deeply wary. Once the Li Group relies on its abundant funds to stir up troubles in the stock market, will they be able to withstand the Li Group?
attack.
The United States is even more dissatisfied with Western Europe, especially the British, for indulging the Lee Group. Unfortunately, they don't have much to do at the moment.
