Chapter 333 Women are not gifts
To vigorously develop the economy, strong military strength must be used as a backing, otherwise everything will be empty talk. Not only Li Bin knows this, but everyone here knows it. In this chaotic world, only by firmly grasping the gun in your hands can you have more say and you can guarantee the fruits of your hard work and farming.
For example, the Deer people... The two small fishing villages close to the Javians have been coveting for a long time, because compared to the majority of the Javian villages, the two small fishing villages are richer, and at least those who live there do not have to worry about three meals a day every day.
The magnificent blueprint that Li Bin now outlines will surely attract the attention of other races. Perhaps before you can fully unfold this scroll, the war has already reached here.
Seeing everyone's confidence but worried look, Li Bin knew that everyone was worried about something and couldn't help laughing. He turned to Luopu and asked, "Luop, how many soldiers do you have now?"
Luo Pu was stunned for a moment. Li Bin knew all these things, so why did he still ask so seriously? But Luo Pu did not hesitate and answered:
"Mr. Shi, I have only two squads in platoons and one squad, and now I have divided two squads to Haidexi Village, one squad guarding the dock and the other squad on duty in the village. Now there are only about fifty people under my command."
Li Bin nodded and said, "Not enough, this little force is not enough to protect our homeland. You should expand your force to two or three hundred people in the near future and station it at your current station. I will pay all the fees and military pay."
"Military pay?" Not only was Luopu shocked, but everyone in the room was surprised. The monthly military pay of two or three hundred people is not a large amount. Here, many people choose to join the army just to be able to have a full meal, and few people have considered the issue of military pay. Li Bin's move undoubtedly set a precedent among the armies of various tribes in Somalia. In this way, the troops would be much easier to recruit soldiers. However, if the military pay for this unit is provided by Li Bin, then the ownership of this unit is worth discussing.
Li Bin looked at Hassan and Luopu with a smile. No matter how you can't think of this key, I'm going to settle this army.
"So, what are you going to arrange this army?" Luo Pu asked hesitantly. Obviously, Luo Pu thought of this more or less.
Li Bin had already made it clear just now that the division between military and political affairs should of course be up to him for matters involving the army.
Li Bin smiled and looked at Luopu and said, "Of course this army is still your army. I just need this army to protect our interests in Somalia and will not interfere with the military and political affairs of your army."
Hearing this, Luo Pu felt relieved. It was of course a good thing to be able to get money from Mr. Shi, not to mention that the troops were expanded, and the power in his hands was even greater. Just serving Mr. Shi, it was no big deal. Anyway, the troops were still in his hands. Luo Pu stood up and smiled and saluted Li Bin:
"Then I would like to thank Mr. Shi on behalf of the army."
Ding Xiangzhu looked at Luopu and Hassan with a smile on his eyes. Even the military pay was paid by President Shi. Is this army still yours? I am afraid that if there is no order from President Shi, you will not be able to command it? President Shi said he would not interfere with the military and political affairs of your army, but do you not understand what Meng Dexiang and Liu Jie, who he sent over, do?
Li Bin smiled and waved his hand to let Luopu sit down again: "Luopu, the army has been established, and your name should be changed. What leader is like the mountain king who occupies the mountain. We are an army, not a bandit or a pirate. Let's do this. Since our troops are already called the Somali People's Army, then you should serve as the commander-in-chief of the Somali People's Army. It is better to take out the title of Commander-in-chief than the leader of yours."
Luo Pu stood up again with excitement and saluted Li Bin. This time, even Ding Xiangzhu... Shi Mingyou and others laughed. Even the commander-in-chief of your unit was appointed by Li Bin. How dare you say it is not Li Bin's unit?
In fact, Li Bin has even bigger plans, but if he says it at this time and is not treated as a madman, it will leave an impression of being unrealistic and sloppy. Therefore, there are some things that need to be taken step by step. For those long-term plans, it is better to wait until the new Hydesi Village is built. At least, you have to wait until your group has completely established a foothold in the Deer people's tribe before you can slowly implement the next plan.
Li Bin raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said softly: "It seems they should come back too. Let's go, let's go to the hospital to greet them."
Who? Who will come here in the middle of the night?
People were stunned when they heard Li Bin's words. Only Luo Pu nodded with some understanding. The people around Mr. Shi were also the two people closest to him. They had not seen them for an afternoon. It seemed that Mr. Shi had some arrangements for them.
Li Bin laughed and was about to get up, when Hassan suddenly spoke:
"Mr. Shi, I have one more thing to tell you."
"Oh?" Li Bin looked at Hassan in confusion, and sat down again with the butt he had just raised. Everything had been arranged by himself, but he couldn't think of what Hassan would have to tell him.
People's eyes were also staring at Hassan's face. Hassan hesitated for a moment, and spoke cruelly:
"Mr. Shi, that's it... I think it's always inconvenient for you to live alone here, and Mrs. Shi was in the hospital to take care of those patients. Look... it's like this... cough... I want to betroth my daughter to you. Mr. Shi, don't get me wrong, she mainly wants to take care of your life..."
Li Bin stared at Hassan with a gloomy face, and the black line on his forehead floated out. I... You want to win over people, there is no other way except for women, right? You also sent a woman to him, but what was the result?
Li Bin naturally met Hassan's daughter in his eyes, but Hassan's daughter was just a child. She was only twelve or thirteen years old, and her father was about to give her to others for some benefit. Li Bin felt anger on his forehead. Li Bin slapped the table with a "bang" and stood up. The person sitting around the table was startled by Li Bin's actions, and hurriedly stood up. He looked at Li Bin who was suddenly angry. Hassan's face was even more scared and lost his blood color, and his steps were involuntarily retreating.
Li Bin pointed at Hassan and started to curse:
"What is your daughter in your eyes? Is it a gift? Is it a commodity? I tell you that she is a human being, a living person, not to mention that she is just a child. You have no right to give her to others, not only you don't, but none of you have any. She has her own future. This is her right. I warn you, don't make any wrong ideas about her, and I don't need you to give me any woman. Do you understand what I say?"
Hassan hurriedly folded his head and bowed, and flashed to the side with a timid voice.
Li Bin pushed the chair away angrily, raised his feet and walked out of the door. With a slam, the door closed behind Li Bin.
Shi Mingyou... Ding Xiangzhu and the other two couldn't understand Arabic. When they saw Li Bin getting angry for no reason, they hurriedly grabbed Han Ping, who was beside him and asked why Li Bin was angry. After hearing Han Ping's stumbling translation, Ding Xiangzhu laughed and walked up to him and hugged Hassan's shoulder:
"Brother Hassan, our China is a monogamous country. Mr. Shi has already gotten married and is not allowed to remarry. What's more, your daughter is still a minor, so it's no wonder Mr. Shi is angry."
After hearing Han Ping's translation, Hassan reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and said embarrassedly: "Mr. Shi is not in our Somalia now, we don't have this rule here. Besides, it is not an exaggeration to have a capable man like Mr. Shi, even if he has 20 or 30 wives."
Shi Mingyou laughed aside: "Brother Hassan, if it is really as simple as you said, then Xi... Well, in short, don't mention this topic to President Shi in the future. However, Brother Hassan, you can consider finding a wife for our President Ding. He has been single for many years, ha..."
"Old Shi, when is it still here to talk crazy?" Ding Xiangzhu glared at Shi Mingyou in dissatisfaction, and his face turned red with a rare moment.
Shi Mingyou smiled and opened the door and chased Li Bin, but his narrow voice came in without reservation: "Mr. Ding, actually Black Pearl is not bad. Hey, Han Ping, don't translate everything, ha..."
"This is an unfair person," Ding Xiangzhu cursed inwardly, then turned around and started to instruct Hassan. He could not leave any grudges in Hassan's heart because of this little thing. There is always someone who needs to be a sarcastic person, right?
Luo Pu obviously did not expect Hassan to suddenly come up with such an idea, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny. In Somalia, a 12-year-old girl got married a little early, but a 15-6-year-old girl got married is a common thing. However, if Mr. Shi really married his eldest brother's daughter, it might be a good thing. It seems that in this matter, he would encourage Instructor Meng to make peace. If he could tell "Mrs. Shi" to come forward to do Mrs. Shi's work, then this matter would be of great potential.
