In the port of the city of Kismayo, a Panamanian-flagged freighter is docked on the shore. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the headquarters of the company was located in the city of Kismayo, the port of Kismayo gradually regained its prosperity. Nearly half of the ships are for the Star Company to provide freight. Most of the raw materials for the production of factories in the industrial park of Badada Town, whether they are transported from the north of the country or from abroad, rely on sea transportation, because Somalia has no railways, even roads, and only a few high-grade roads.

This freighter, which belongs to Panama, is inconspicuous in the port, and even if it is covered with the eyes of domestic and foreign intelligence organizations, it is at best a few glances. Because as we all know, in addition to its own small shipping company, Xingchen has a close relationship with an ocean shipping company in Panama. Many of the international routes are carried out in cooperation with this Panamanian company.

But it is such an inconspicuous freighter, but it has an important mission. That is to carry some valuable cargo to Hong Kong to unload.

At the terminal, which belongs exclusively to Xingchen Company, a container truck was coming to a halt in reverse, and several dock workers immediately used lifting equipment to move the container onto the ship.

In a small building not far away, Li Mo and several guests were watching the workers work through the window.

"Mr. Li, the goods are about to be loaded. You can breathe a sigh of relief, right? Li Mo smiled and looked at a few nervous people around him and quipped.

Li Mo became 'Mr. Li' by Li Mo, who was Li Guoqing, vice president of Huaxia Nonferrous Metals Group and director of the Overseas Development Department. During this time, the secret Chinese delegation was negotiating with experts until two days ago when an agreement was finally reached on cooperation on silicon-uranium alloys.

In the container outside, there is the first 5 tons of silicon-uranium alloy, for which Huaxia Nonferrous Metals Group will pay 700 million US dollars. At first, Li Mo's offer was 20 million US dollars per ton, and after a series of negotiations, Li Mo finally relented and provided 5 tons of alloy for Huaxia at 14 million per ton.

Although this contract was reached, even the money was transferred to the account of Xingchen Company, but whether it was Huaxia or Li Mo, they all felt that they had lost money.

However, Li Mo is now in urgent need of money, and Huaxia continues to use this batch of new alloys to solve some problems in military manufacturing that are difficult to meet standards.

In the end, the two sides signed the contract with a smile on their faces, and even the goods were loaded onto the ship.

"Haha, the mission is done. Finally lived up to the expectations of his superiors. But brother, I think we need to strengthen our cooperation a lot. Li Guoqing also had a smile on his face. He is an errand runner, but he also has a credit for the completion of this task, and he will not forget it if he wants to come to his superiors. However, what Li Guoqing values most is the relationship with Li Mo.

In Somalia, the 'virgin land of resource development', Li Guoqing understands that as long as he has a good relationship with Li Mo, the company will naturally have a lot of money, which is only economic interests. State-owned enterprises like theirs pay more attention to political gains and losses.

From the perspective of a business executive, the benefits of building high-level relationships in foreign countries and countries are too great. This is especially true in countries like Africa, where power is basically concentrated in the hands of the military and political elites. With some black or gray means, it is easy to obtain benefits that are difficult to obtain in other regions.

A mineral worth 100 million yuan, if you sell it to a foreign company at a 50% discount in the 'Ming Boiled Country', the outcome will definitely be tragic. But in most countries in Africa, let alone a 50% discount, sometimes it is not difficult to get it at a price of 10% of the total value of the minerals, and don't worry about the negative impact.

As a result, Africa's position in the world is becoming more and more important. Many conglomerates with vision and background have extended their tentacles to this 'virgin land'.

But Li Guoqing understands that his identity is not a pure businessman. He himself is better, at least he has both administrative and technical skills, and the position he holds is not a layman leading an insider. But when it comes to politics, nothing is simple.

Li Mo laughed when he heard this, he was very clear about Li Guoqing's idea, that is, to get more mineral development rights. But Li Mo does not intend to let Huaxia's companies dominate in Somalia. This would do more harm than good to the disadvantaged Somali political axe.

However, now that the relationship with Huaxia is back to normal, he must always give the other party some sweetness, so that Li Mo can get the benefits he needs from Huaxia.

Cooperation is not absolutely impossible, but it is necessary to fully estimate the benefits and risks.

When the goods were loaded on the dock outside, Li Guoqing and the others said goodbye and left. Some of them remain in Somalia, while others will be rerouted home. As for the cargo on the freighter, the Huaxia side was naturally prepared, and Li Mo knew that some soldiers in civilian clothes who were suspected of being Huaxia special forces had already boarded the freighter, and their identities were now sailors. This incident was not found out by Li Mo himself, but the other party took the initiative to show it, because Li Mo also provided a batch of light weapons for this purpose.

At present, in Somali waters, large and small pirate gangs do not dare to hijack ships casually. Especially when Abdi's national arrest warrant was issued, the Somali pirates suddenly became much more honest. Li Mo doesn't care about this, as long as the pirates don't make trouble in the western Indian Ocean, Li Mo doesn't care about it, as for the Latin Bay, isn't there an escort fleet now? Li Mo didn't have the energy to care.

In the next few days, Li Mo finished some things for the Air Force, and the second batch of 4 Ukrainian fighter jets has been delivered. The Somali Air Force has 10 more advanced fighters in its hands, including 4 Su-27S, 4 Su-27SS, and 2 Su-27UB. The arrival of this batch of fighters in Somalia was accompanied by a shipment of guided bombs that were later procured. Li Mo asked Ukraine to modify the Su-27SS, although it is an air superiority fighter, mainly to compete for air supremacy, but at some point, it is also possible to install bombs for ground support.

In addition to accepting these fighters and bombs, Li Mo also deliberately doubled the Air Force Training Base in Dingsol City, the only training base for air force pilots at present, not only 'recruited' a group of experienced pilot instructors from Ukraine through connections, but also purchased a batch of PC-9 trainers through the black market, although they are all second-hand, but they are enough for pilots to conduct primary flight training.

Li Mo then rushed to the Camel Mountain base and inspected the work of the expert group. At present, there are not only expert engineers from Afghanistan in the research laboratory of the Camel Mountain Base, but also members of the comet team, and Li Mo has also transferred a group of qualified engineers from the Somali Academy of Sciences to join in. As for the loyalty of this group of newly joined engineers, Li Mo just asked the intelligence department to check it, and it was generally fine. Because once these people enter the Camel Mountain Research Laboratory, it is impossible to contact the outside world in a short period of time. Unless it has been proven to be faithful and reliable, or participation in research is less important. Otherwise, I'm going to stay here for a few years.

Although Li Mo's approach caused dissatisfaction among some scientific research talents, as long as they were really thinking about Somalia, they were only dissatisfied with Li Mo's 'house arrest', and they were soon attracted by the advanced scientific research equipment and instruments here and some dazzling scientific research topics, and in a blink of an eye, they left their dissatisfaction with Li Mo behind. And people with impure hearts, if they continue to make trouble, they will definitely be discovered. It's a good time to get rid of hidden dangers.

However, Li Mo felt that the scientific research team in his hand was still insufficient, so he transferred 100 million US dollars to Wang Ning and set up a special account to tap those talents who have real talents but have no talents. Li Mo specifically told Wang Ning to focus on Africa and other countries that do not pay much attention to scientific research. In this way, the probability of excavating talents is much greater, and in Li Mo's heart, as long as a country excavates a real talent, the scientific research strength in his hands can be improved a lot.

"Boss, Captain Luo is here!" While reviewing the plan submitted by the General Staff for further training of the Wehrmacht Army in his office, Colonel An Li pushed open the door and came in to report.

Li Mo raised his head and asked in surprise, "Is it Luo Xiang?" Let him in! ”

Although the 'Light of Peace' combat exercise has ended, the special forces of various countries have not returned to China, and are still conducting joint training in secret areas in northeastern Somalia. Several countries intend to take advantage of this opportunity to learn from the strengths of each country and improve the overall strength of their special forces.

And Luo Xiang, as the head of the Somali special forces, is also very busy with work. Because he not only has to be responsible for the joint training of the five countries, but also has to complete the tasks assigned by Li Mo. A hundred qualified soldiers were selected from the Wehrmacht to form a 'black hole' special forces.

Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Li Mo soon saw Luo Xiang, who was in a hurry, striding in.

After Luo Xiang's report, Li Mo knew why Luo Xiang came here. It turned out that during training, there was a conflict with a local tribe. The main reason for this is the high number of mountainous areas in northern Somalia. Tribes located in the mountains are even more. And because the area is not suitable for farming, the tribe is mainly engaged in grazing production. The reason for the conflict was that these special forces were greedy and hunted a sheep in the mountains, but this sheep was raised by a nearby tribe.

Originally, this was just a trivial matter, as long as Luo Xiang and them gave money. But the special forces are training in the field, which one still carries money? While waiting for the money from the superiors, the two sides clashed. In the end, even the weapons were taken out.

Fortunately, in the end, Luo Xiang and the others felt that they had paid five times the price of the tribe's sheep to calm the anger of the tribe. However, the other side made another request, not allowing the special forces of the five countries to train locally. The reason is that when the special forces are training, they often open fire and frighten the livestock.

After listening to Luo Xiang's complaints, Li Mo frowned deeply. This matter is both big and small. Li Mo's first consideration is not the matter of special forces training, although there are few mountainous areas in Somalia, it is not impossible to find them, in addition to the north, the southwest of Somalia is also a mountainous area. Li Mo is thinking about the problems of these tribes in Somalia.

It is well known that in Africa, with the exception of a few countries, most countries have power in the hands of tribes. Tribes, large and small, divide the power of a nation. This is also the case in Somalia, but because Li Mo has not touched the interests of the local tribes, the contradiction is not obvious for the time being.
