Li Mo was very surprised to receive a phone call from Vice President Mohammed himself. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 But he quickly reacted that the last time he visited the industrial park with the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Palermo said that Vice President Mohammed wanted to get together with him in private.

Recently, because of the plane crash, the secret fight with the United States and the Tunisian color revolution, Li Mo was so busy that he didn't remember it at all, and there was no movement on Muhammad's side, Li Mo forgot about it for a while.

This time, Muhammad called in person, and Li Mo agreed without too much thought, but Muhammad finally said on the phone that one of his guests also wanted to know Li Mo, hoping to get Li Mo's permission.

At this point, Li Mo did not refuse, anyway, no matter who it is, there is no problem in knowing yourself and making friends, I am not afraid of having many friends, I am afraid that there are many friends. But as long as he maintains a cautious attitude to interact, in this regard, Li Mo also believes that there will be no problems.

According to the discussion between the two on the phone, it was finally decided that the meeting place would be in Li Mo's villa on the seaside, which is Fan Qingqing's current residence.

The next day, Li Mo and Fan Qingqing prepared in the villa, that is, on the beach near the sea, to prepare a beach barbecue.

In order to ensure safety, the Navy has deployed two armed speedboats, a type of inshore speedboat specially adapted by the Somali Navy to combat smuggling and patrolling, in the sea outside the villa.

In the villa area, He Xiaoqiang took the guards to check around before hiding around.

In the evening, half an hour before the agreed time between the two parties, Li Mo received a phone call that Mohammed and his guests were already on their way, and at this time, Li Mo already knew that the guest of Vice President Mohammed was the British ambassador to Somalia.

On the beach, Fan Qingqing is instructing the servants to place a rectangular table on a flat part of the beach, while not far away, two grills have been set up, and several barbecue chefs specially recruited from Somali herders are making preliminary preparations.

The table was quickly set up, a huge parasol was blocked above the table, blocking the afterglow of the sunset that was still carrying the heat outside, Li Mo sat on a chair, looking at the busy Fan Qingqing, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What are you laughing at? The guests are coming, why don't you go to greet them? Fan Qingqing sensitively noticed the change in the man's facial expression, and couldn't help but turn around and snort.

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the identity of the guest who came tonight was not ordinary, and it didn't seem appropriate to wait here, after all, it was the vice president who brought the guest to the door, and Li Mo's shelf was easy to be criticized, although Li Mo didn't care about this, but there was no need to offend people so plainly.

At the door of the villa, there was only one He Xiaoqiang standing behind Li Mo, standing there as steadily as a tree stump, motionless, only those dark eyes, turning slightly from time to time, looking at the surrounding movements.

At around 6:45, there was a sound of a car engine at the door of the villa, and Li Mo came secretly, and immediately came to the gate with a smile on his face.

Vice President Mohammed, who had not yet gotten out of the car, was really taken aback when he saw Li Mo at the door, after all, he was the vice president, and he also had supporters and his own forces in Somalia, knowing that Li Mo, the deputy commander-in-chief, was actually a military leader, and he rarely went out to greet anyone in person.

Li Mo's attitude made Mohammed very happy and moved, after all, Li Mo really gave him face, otherwise he was a vice president, and with Li Mo's monstrous power in Somalia, he could be completely ignored.

In Africa, where there is no power backed by the barrel of a gun, the basis is very unstable.

Ambassador Huni also saw Li Mo at the door in the car, and he was also very surprised. However, he didn't think that Li Mo was giving him face, but giving face to the vice president. Until this moment, Hu Ni's sense of Li Mo changed, and he had the impression that young people, especially those who held great power, were not high-spirited and arrogant. But Li Mo actually stood at the gate to greet him, which is a kind of realization that is very important in any culture and tradition.

For Muhammad, Li Mo has a lot of information about him, that is, a very steady and taciturn middle-aged black man, and he is also a devout Muslim, even now, he wears that highly symbolic turban, and his body is a set of blue robes, and he does not look like the vice president of a country at all.

The British ambassador Huney is just like the British gentleman in everyone's impression, although he is not wearing an evening dress, wearing a civilization stick and a top hat, but he is also wearing a black formal dress and tie, and his sparse hair is neatly combed.

One of these two is the future president of Somalia, and the other is the top British representative in Somalia, and they are fully worthy of Li Mo coming out to greet him personally.

After a simple but formal greeting, the three of them came to the beach, and saw a delicate lamb that was being rolled by the barbecue master, and a real look of surprise flashed in their eyes. Before they came, they definitely didn't expect Li Mo to entertain them here.

However, neither of them was an ordinary person, and this look of surprise immediately disappeared, and they regained their affectionate and natural appearance.

When the sliced lamb with its tantalizing aroma was served, even Huney, an English gentleman, couldn't help but sniff and saliva was accumulating in his mouth. Think of a country's military leader, a vice president, a diplomat who pays great attention to appearance and etiquette, eating freshly roasted lamb and drinking red wine on the beach at sunset.

At first, the conversation between the three men was cautious and limited to the normal development of relations between the two countries, but as time went on, especially after the sun had completely set, Ambassador Huney's men could not sit still. If he did not have official duties, he also wanted to slowly understand this kind of dinner with the two Somali leaders, but when he thought of the very troublesome and thorny task he was tucked on, Ambassador Huni had the heart to break the situation of this kind of conversation first.

"Deputy Commander Li, I wonder what is the current situation of the crew of the American freighter 'Jewel' who has been detained by your country's naval department? In addition to visiting you, I also hope to understand the current situation of these crew members, and I hope that Deputy Commander Li can help. Ambassador Huney sorted out the words in his mind for a long time, and finally spoke.

Seeing Li Mohu's suspicious expression, Ambassador Huni immediately explained, "Because the U.S. political axe and your country have not yet sent ambassadors to each other, the U.S. political axe has entrusted our country to understand the situation of those American sailors. In his words, Ambassador Huney tactfully stated that the British political axe had no other purpose in this matter, and that it was entirely because of the American political axe's commission. This is a common occurrence in international diplomacy, and there are countries that do not have diplomatic relations with each other. Or sever diplomatic relations, but in some affairs involving the two countries, it is necessary to find a third party that is accepted by both sides to do the intermediary. If the relationship is not too bad, it will also be through other means, such as when Somalia and China have not sent ambassadors to each other, and the affairs related to China and Somalia are represented by the Chinese ambassador to Kenya, who is responsible for negotiating with the Somali political axe.

"Ambassador Huni, our political axe is dealing with criminal suspects who violate our laws, although they will temporarily restrict their freedom because of their crimes, and then punish them according to the results of the trial according to the law, or go to jail, or fine, etc. But there will be no criminal suspects and criminals to abuse them, and you can rest assured that Ambassador Huni will do so. Before Li Mo could answer, Vice President Mohammed on the side immediately interjected. Before he came, he did not know that Ambassador Huni was here for the crew of the "Jewel", and thought that Ambassador Huni wanted to take the opportunity of his meeting with Li Mo to improve his relationship with Li Mo. After all, Huni is the ambassador to Somalia, and it is very necessary to have a good relationship with Somali powerful figures like Li Mo, and in addition, the recent business cooperation between Somalia and Britain is good, and Vice President Mohammed attaches great importance to the relationship with the United Kingdom, so he agreed to be the introducer for Ambassador Huni.

But as soon as he heard Ambassador Huni's words, he felt that Ambassador Huni was suspicious of the Somali Navy and law enforcement officials, and this displeased the vice president. Although this is a private occasion at the moment, in front of him, the vice president of Somalia, he will of course be unhappy to doubt the work attitude of the relevant Somali departments.

Ambassador Huni could not help but blame himself for not saying those words, but for not letting Muhammad understand the meaning of the words. He believed that Li Mo understood what he said, and his real intention was not to worry about those American sailors, but to use this as an introduction to lead the topic to the 'Jewel' incident.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mohammed, I have absolutely no doubt about your naval department, I'm just learning about the crew's situation normally, because I need to report their current situation back home, and then pass it on to the American political axe." Ambassador Huni first apologized, then looked at Li Mo and asked, "I wonder what Deputy Commander Li intends to do with the 'Jewel' freighter and the crew on it?" I just want to know your attitude, not to interfere in your internal affairs. Huni immediately explained that he was afraid that Vice President Mohammed would not figure it out and doubt his true intentions.

Li Mo smiled and said, "Of course, it will be handed over to the judicial department for review, and if you are not guilty, you will be released directly, and if you are guilty, you will be tried in accordance with the relevant laws of our country, and for the 'Jewel' freighter, we will note its company, and only after paying the fine can the freighter leave Somalia." ”

Hearing Li Mo's words, Ambassador Huni was not only not depressed, but was very happy, because in Li Mo's last two sentences, he heard that Li Mo's real intention was not to send the dozen or so American crew members to the trial seat, otherwise with Li Mo's identity and the current occasion, Li Mo would not have directly told him the outcome of the 'Jewel' freighter, because that should have been decided after the court trial, but Li Mo said it directly, which shows that Li Mo did not want to judge those crew members, but wanted to achieve a certain goal through the 'Jewel' incident.
