The 'Light of Peace' exercise not only allowed the outside world to see the changes in Somalia's political axe, but also made the special forces of the five countries realize their strengths and weaknesses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Difficult sniping ...... of North Korean snipers

High-difficulty demolition ...... by Syrian special forces

The jungle tracking capabilities of Iranian special forces......

The rapid sensing capability of the Somali special forces......

All this made the commanders of the special forces of the five countries deeply feel that the results of this exercise were remarkable, and they unanimously decided that their special forces could strengthen exchanges and learning in the future and strive to enhance the combat effectiveness of the special forces of various countries.

The Somali political axe has also used a propaganda machine to vigorously publicize Somalia's achievements in combating piracy at home and abroad, and has won the support of many international organizations. A number of aid organizations are said to intend to increase their assistance to Somalia next year. This was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for the Somali political axe.

Li Mo didn't care about the matter on the political axe, and his main focus was on the negotiation with the Huaxia delegation and the construction of the navy and air force.

Judging by Somalia's economic strength, population resources, land area, and national potential, Somalia cannot be compared with those big countries, even if it has the same efforts as a cow.

At a national defense committee, Li Mo put forward a long-term plan and short-term and long-term goals for Somalia's national defense construction. In the future, Somalia will maintain a small elite army, a defensive navy with a small and medium-sized coastal defense, and a relatively large number of air forces capable of long-distance projection and control of the territory and air supremacy of predetermined targets.

In other words, the core of the development of the Somali Defence Force is the Air Force, and the Navy will gradually expand and upgrade on the existing basis with economic power and development needs. The army will be a high-quality, professional army with a number of about 50,000 people.

Therefore, Li Mo is still not very satisfied with the current size of the army, the quality of officers and men, weapons and equipment, etc., but he also knows that these need to be done step by step, and the Somali National Defense Force has been established for a relatively short time, and although the army has been able to do it like an arm, its officers and men are basically the armed forces of various warlords during the civil war. Although the old, weak, sick, and disabled had already been screened out at the time of the establishment of the National Defense Force, Li Mo was not satisfied with the age structure, cultural quality, and military skills of these officers and men, and he felt that the quality of the Somali Defense Force was at most similar to that of the regular army of the sixties and seventies of the military powers, and even though it was equipped with some 'advanced' weapons and equipment, its basic quality was still far from that of several powerful countries today.

However, Li Mo also knew that it was impossible to reach the sky in one step. Somalia is an African country with congenital deficiencies.

In modern history, it is either the colony of the great powers, the rule of military strongmen, or the civil wars of various warlords. For nearly a hundred years, it can be said that it was completely deserted. At a time when other countries are vigorously developing their economies and national defense, Somalia is still fighting for power, and it is often through military means. As a result, Somalia simply does not have a stable environment to develop. The gap with other countries is naturally getting farther and farther away.

The gap of tens of years and nearly 100 years is not easy to catch up, and it takes more effort and determination.

And Li Mo's ideal is to become an arms giant and occupy a certain share in the international arms trade. This ideal has not changed until now, but in the development process of the past few years, Li Mo has also deeply understood that this ideal seems simple, and the idea that as long as there is this more advantageous arms than others, it can become a giant is completely wrong.

A real arms giant is inseparable from a strong economic force, a powerful deterrent force, and an advanced and complete scientific research team.

With a strong economy, you can recruit more scientific research talents to serve you, and possibly more advanced military technology; A strong economy can also guarantee the formation of a sufficiently strong military armed force, and advanced military technology is also an important factor in ensuring a strong armed force.

Powerful force can protect the economy from plundering and ensure that researchers can conduct research in a safe and stable environment without being affected by the outside world.

These factors complement each other, and without any of them, it is impossible to become a giant or a giant.

The development of military technology is a gradual process, and it can be said that with a little luck and step by step, remarkable achievements can be obtained. All this is inseparable from economic support and the guarantee of force.

Li Mo's current work is mainly here, selling guns and artillery in the early stage, obtaining a little development funds, forming an armed force loyal to him, and raising his own crisis threshold. Excluding half of the threats to the average person.

In the middle of development, the trade in guns and ammunition is far less than the drag in of research funds, especially some research is in a critical period, and it is necessary to increase investment and obtain more technical support. This is where more financial resources are needed. Selling resources becomes a shortcut to a large amount of money in the short term. And because the armed forces mastered in the early stage are enough to ensure that they can get resources by force.

With enough funding, some research can be sustained. Until the scientific research department obtains some results and feeds back to the organization. Li Mo is now in the second part of a growth trilogy.

The path of growth from an ordinary person to an arms giant is tortuous, and the process that different people go through is bound to be different. Li Mo has a certain advantage because of the ability brought by rebirth, and the qualification to cross the shortcut is provided. So that Li Mo can spend less time in the first part of the trilogy, and as long as it is a short accumulation, he will directly enter the second part.

But there are pros and cons to this 'shortcut'. The advantage is that Li Mo, who is located in the second part, has a certain amount of capital and chips in his hands. If the whole society is compared to a pyramid. The United States' comprehensive strength is at the top, and Russia, Britain, and France are the second...... Li Mo's current comprehensive strength, although he is not a high-level player, is not a bottom-level role. Just like in officialdom, Li Mo is now also a department-level cadre. Although there are still many people above his head who can control his fate, in the huge system, there are more people than him, and it is not something that any section member or section-level cadre can threaten.

On the contrary, there are many disadvantages. Because of the weak foundation, it is more difficult for Li Mo to enter the third step than other people who spend a long time accumulating in the first part. In the second stage, more effort and effort are spent, and more time is spent. Unless there is a special opportunity, Li Mo will be in the middle of the global pyramid for a long time, more than the upper and lower than the bottom.

Li Mo belongs to a special category, but this does not mean that Li Mo can also rely on the 'adventure' to directly step into the third step like the first step.

Just like Li Mo now, he is in the second step. This step is going to require more funding. And the use of the means of selling resources cannot satisfy the investment in scientific research and military affairs. Although Somalia has not been plundered by foreign forces because of chaos, Somalia is neither Saudi Arabia nor Iraq. You can't make tens of billions of dollars by selling oil. Hundreds of millions of dollars may be enough for a certain research topic, but this is the most basic capital investment to ensure this kind of research, that is, investing hundreds of millions of dollars can guarantee results in 5 or 10 years, but Li Mo is obviously not willing to wait for such a long time. If you want to speed up, it's not impossible, you have to invest more money. Strengthen the size of the scientific research team.

It takes 5 years for 100 experts to invest $500 million in a topic, but what about 200 experts to invest $2 billion? Maybe it only takes 4 years or even 3 years. What if on this basis, how many times the scale of funds and scientific research and technical personnel?

This is what Li Mo wants now. With more funds and scientific research strength, the technical difficulties that stand in the way of development will be overcome.

But that's easier said than done. First of all, there is the issue of funding, which Li Mo did not discuss at the National Defense Committee, but raised it at the organization's monthly meeting.

As for the source of funds, the senior management of the organization also has several ideas. The first is to intensify the exploitation of resources and exchange resources for scientific research and development funds. This is currently being done by the organization, although it cannot meet the needs of scientific research, but it also offsets a considerable part, which greatly reduces the pressure on the organization's financial funds.

The second is to increase the scale of production and sales of the technological products currently monopolized by the organization. For example, the value of silicon-uranium alloy has now been valued by some countries, even countries that have not been in contact with Somalia and Xingchen have also received news, according to the report of the Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Sales, some world consortiums have been in contact with the company, but most of the consortiums proposed to buy manufacturing processes or monopolize the sale of silicon-uranium alloys. These are obviously not in line with the company's profit maximization, nor are they in line with product monopoly and secrecy, and they are all politely rejected. Even so, there are also some consortia and organizations representing all parties, interested in the cooperation of silicon-uranium alloys, Xingchen Company has received more than a dozen "private business contacts" requests in June, after reporting to Li Mo, were approved by Li Mo one by one, July will probably be the most frequent month for Xingchen Company to receive commercial companies, experts and others estimate that a part of the purchase agreement may be reached this month, and the specific "private companies" can only be confirmed after visiting and requesting cooperation.

In addition to these two opinions, which are still considered to be construction names, there are also calls to increase the size of the gold exploration team in Kenya and other countries. Some people who have made enough money in the Kenyan gold mines have become interested in making this a serious deal.

There have even been offers to work with al-Qaeda to secretly sell weapons-grade enriched uranium. made Li Mo cry and laugh!
