On the 14th, Zhang Lixia's four daughters went to Tripoli, the capital of Libya, to attend the wedding of Gaddafi's daughter before the protection of the women's detachment led by Ding Susu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The timing of this wedding is very special, Libya has been in the international news for a while now, and the dirty internal Gaddafi political axe and opposition have never stopped, and it is not known how many open and secret fights between countries are involved.

Some media believe that Gaddafi chose this time to hold his daughter's wedding in order to increase the intimacy between some 'allies'. The wedding is only one of them, the main thing is the exchange and compromise of various interests in the process of holding the wedding.

Almost most of the Arab countries sent the wives of the country's leading leaders to the wedding. Among them, several flower-like women representing Somali leader Li Mo have attracted much attention.

How many women does Li Mo have? This issue suddenly became the main topic of major media and readers, and some related media began to inquire into the inside story.

But Li Mo is the leader of a country after all, and if he wants to inquire into the private affairs of such a person, it is very difficult for the general organization except for state institutions.

However, since Li Mo has a legal wife, four young ladies have appeared this time, which shows that Li Mo is also a relatively popular. Stream of dignitaries.

Most readers look at this with an entertaining attitude. Because Li Mo is young, and although Somalia is not an Islamic country, most of the people believe in Islam, and Li Mo sometimes pretends to be a Muslim in public. So Li Mo has multiple wives, which is not a big deal in the eyes of many people.

…… Mogadishu -- Li Mo attended a meeting on bilateral military cooperation between Somalia and China today, the main content of which was related to cooperation between the two countries' navies.

The target of the meeting was the 'Stargate Incident', which is intensifying in the Gulf of Aden.

The two countries hope to reach some level of cooperation on this matter.

Attending the meeting on behalf of the Huaxia military was also an old acquaintance, Lieutenant General Cong, deputy director of the Huaxia General Staff. Strict, who was originally a major general, was also promoted after the change of office in Huaxia.

In fact, the two sides have had many private meetings at this meeting, and basically reached cooperation. The main purpose of the meeting was to 'correct the name' of bilateral cooperation, that is, to sign a formal cooperation agreement.

However, because it involves more science fiction things like 'Stargate', the meeting was not public, it was a semi-public meeting, and the media did not know the content of the meeting, but for many countries, there was no secret about this meeting.

"Minister Yan, the conclusion of this cooperation will be conducive to the further development of relations between Somalia and China, and will also allow the Somali Navy to learn the advanced and valuable experience of the Chinese Navy. Walking in a well-guarded garden behind the Ministry of National Defense, Li Mo said to Lieutenant General Yan with a smile.

"Haha, Commander Li is also starting to be modest. It's not the same person you are. Lieutenant General Yan replied with a smile.

He didn't take Li Mo's learning seriously. After all, some things are not so easy to learn, and easy, the Somali Navy does not need to find someone to learn.

"That's right, Commander Li. I heard that your country is planning to purchase some warships? Lieutenant General Yan seemed to have just thought of something, and asked seemingly casually.

Li Mo smiled in his heart, he had already released the news of the Somali Navy's order through Rear Admiral Gedi. There were quite a few people who contacted him during this time. Many are on behalf of the country. For example, the United Kingdom.

"I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and even Minister Yan got the news." Li Mo deliberately expressed a hint of surprise, and then admitted, "The Somali Navy has recently purchased two frigates, but the Navy Department is still inspecting them. ”

Vice Admiral Strict's eyes lit up, and the outside world only knew that the Somali Navy had an order, but it was not clear what exactly it would procure, and many people believed that Somalia had already purchased large missile boats like the previous two times. After all, judging from Somalia's military development, many people understand that Somalia does not have the tendency to vigorously develop its navy, and Somalia does not currently have the strength to develop its navy.

He also came with a mission this time, that is, to win this order from the Somali Navy. As far as Huaxia is concerned, it is now actively competing for the national arms market, but due to various reasons, Huaxia used to occupy a share in the international arms market mainly concentrated in light and small arms, and most of them did not have much technical content, and the advantages of Huaxia weapons were mainly concentrated in the four words of good quality and low price. For many countries, the first choice for purchasing truly advanced ace equipment is a military industrial power like the United States and Russia.

However, with the development and achievements of Huaxia in military technology, it has gradually gained a foothold in the fiercely competitive global arms trade, but how to expand its market share is a long-term process. At the very least, you have to have the right arms, and secondly, there are political factors.

In recent years, China's achievements in the equipment of the air force and army have been steadily improving, but the navy is still mediocre. The few orders for naval exports are still due to political considerations. The target is also often a country with close ties such as Pakistan.

Somalia is also one of China's arms exporters. But for Huaxia Zhengaxe, Somalia with Xingchen Group is not an exporter with great purchase potential. Several military procurement cooperation has been in the army's ground short-range missile air defense system. The Navy's only procurement was four 022-class missile boats.

With the successful development of the Somali 'Defender' tank and the 'Sparrow' helicopter occupying a place in the international helicopter market, the Chinese political axe has once again set its sights on the Somali Navy.

Arms sales are not only economic interests, but also political interests. This interest is not a matter of attaching political interests to arms purchases and arms sales, but arms purchases and arms sales that are only available in bilateral political interests.

The current relationship between China and Somalia is developing steadily, and expanding its international influence, especially in Africa, has always been the focus of China's foreign policy. Every year, Huaxia will sprinkle silver in Africa. Aid projects, foreign debt relief, interest-free loans, cheap arms supply, etc. How to further elevate relations with Somalia? This is something that the new Chinese leaders attach importance to.

With the outbreak and end of the Sofa nuclear crisis, although Li Mo has been criticized by many people in the international community, it is undeniable that it is this nuclear crisis that has established the international status of Li Mo and Somalia. Some media outlets have even begun to refer to Somalia as 'the number one military power in North Africa'. Although this statement is one-sided and inaccurate, Somalia and Li Mo have left too deep an impression on the world.

An Arab media once said that Lemo was the 'Saddam' of North Africa, and Somalia was the Iraq of Africa.

Although Somalia is an underdeveloped country and a weak country, it is showing 'great ambition' under the leadership of Li Mo, a leader known for his 'toughness'. And the military development of Somalia has been taken seriously by more and more national political axes.

For such a country, Huaxia must adopt a policy of further co-optation. The deepening of relations between countries is also a gradual increase on the basis of common interests and cooperation.

Therefore, Huaxia Zhengaxe needs to win the order of the Somali Navy, so that Somalia will be 'actively closer' to Huaxia in terms of naval equipment. Second, the higher Somalia's international status, the more obvious the propaganda effect of Somalia's navy on Chinese products will be.

"Commander Li, do you have any ideas for cooperating with our country in this regard? Although China's navy developed relatively late, its shipbuilding industry is well developed, and some of its technologies are also at the world's advanced level. For example, the F-22P stealth frigate sold by China to Pakistan is a kind of stealth frigate improved on the basis of the Edo 2 class. Advanced technology to reduce the cross-sectional area of the radar is used, and the electronics used are also top-notch...... This is a very good multipurpose corvette. "Lieutenant General Yan is now incarnated as a shipyard sales representative, and began to introduce Huaxia's frigates.

The F-22P stealth frigate Li Mo also knows that it is among the objects of inspection reported by the Navy. But in the report of the commander of the Navy, Rear Admiral Gedi, this frigate was ranked behind. Because for most people, Huaxia's arms advantage lies in the army's light and small arms, followed by air force aircraft, and the navy is not high in the international status of Huaxia itself, except for the nuclear submarine force.

And Vice Admiral Yan's purpose is to hope that Li Mo can purchase Huaxia's frigates. Among them, it is certainly not that they value these orders of hundreds of millions of dollars, but that they hope to expand the Chinese arms market and publicize the excellent surnames of Chinese arms through arms sales. This is because Somalia, although weaker, is not a major arms importer, and in general, Somalia is even considered an arms exporter. Somalia has won billions of orders this year, and if Somalia purchases China's warships, it will certainly enhance China's 'status' in the international arms market.

"Minister Yan, I think you can send someone to contact the navy about this matter. I'm not as professional as those guys when it comes to warships. If appropriate, I think there is no problem for Somal-Chinese cooperation in this regard. Li Mo also gave a promise that was not a promise.

In any case, the purpose of buying warships back is to increase national defense strength, not to look good, nor to show off, but to prepare for war. So only the people who are about to use them have the most say.

Li Mo never attached a requirement of political interests to arms sales, nor did he want to have demands for political interests in arms purchases.

As an arms dealer, he can't eliminate this 'unspoken rule', but he can resist it himself.
