In the office, Wang Ning was reporting to Li Mo on intelligence work. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It is reported that the reason why Ethiopia has created tension in the border area this time is because it is bewitched by foreign forces. Several important officials of Egypt have been in contact with foreign forces and expressed their stance at high-level meetings in Egypt that they will be tough on our country. ”

Li Mo said with a clear expression, "Which country is it?" United States? ”

This border conflict, relying on Ethiopia's own strength, does not have the courage to do it. Moreover, doing so will do no good, except to cause border conflicts and damage relations between the two countries. Unless there is a foreign power that promises great benefits, such as aid.

Among foreign powers, the United States is one of Ethiopia's important partners, and Egypt is the black African country that the United States has provided the most assistance to, and has provided military training and other cooperation for Ethiopia. The United States has always been eyeing the current regime in Somalia, but because it cannot distract itself from dealing with Somalia for the time being, and Somalia is now a nuclear power, it is too risky to use force directly. Instigating other countries to be pioneers, the Yankees also often play this hand.

However, what Li Mo didn't expect was that Wang Ning shook his head slightly when he heard this, "We have not received any information about the United States being involved in this matter, and we only have information in our hands that France and Yuben have played a 'prominent' role in this matter." ”

This really surprised Li Mo, "France and Ben? Damn, how did these two countries get together? Still against us? ”

Li Mo stood up and paced back and forth, but his mind was thinking about whether there was any inside story in it. Li Mo was also urgently surprised that he was involved, not too strange. After all, the two sides have an old enmity. For such a long time, it was enough for Yu Ben to discover that the destruction of their nuclear weapons base had something to do with him, Li Mo, and even participated in it.

With Xiao Yue's vicious and flawed surname, being able to endure it for so long before he started to make some small moves has already made Li Mo think highly of them.

But what does it mean for France to be involved? Li Mo thought that his relationship with France was still very normal, and there had been no diplomatic conflict between the two sides. And France's interests in East Africa are not great, even less than those of Italy.

"Do you know the reason for France's involvement?" Li Mo looked back at Wang Ning and asked in a deep voice.

If the real reason for France is not clarified, it will be difficult to sleep. After all, France is an economically developed country, an old power, and one of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. Its international standing is far from being comparable to that of a country like Somalia.

Originally, Somalia offended the United States, and it was spending the cost to win over Britain, even if it could not become an ally of Britain, but it also wanted Britain to remain neutral in future affairs against Somalia. At this time, Li Mo was unwilling to offend France.

Wang Ning's intelligence department is not so strong, and it is very good to be able to figure out so quickly that Ethiopia is standing behind it this time. It will not be easy to figure out why France and France are involved.

Li Mo didn't blame Wang Ning, but racked his brains to think about France's purpose for doing this. Suddenly, Li Mo thought of a person, it should be said that he was a person who had 'offended', but how could that little white face affect French diplomacy? Li Moke didn't believe it. Not to mention that the elder of the little white-faced family is just a parliamentarian, even the French prime minister, and it is impossible to trigger a diplomatic conflict between the two countries for personal contradictions. Now France is in the era of 'boiling', not the French Third Reich, and it is impossible to make a decision in a word, let alone a major national event in politics and diplomacy, and those politicians and politicians will definitely be able to distinguish who is more important and who is important.

Thinking like this in his heart, Li Mo did not say it, but instructed Wang Ning to continue to investigate the inside story of this matter, and the most important thing is to find out the content of Ethiopia's secret cooperation with France and Yue.

Li Mo is not worried about Ethiopia, the former 'African lion', what he is worried about is whether this border conflict is the prelude to a new conspiracy?

Li Mo also understands the greed and ambition of those Western capitalists. In order to achieve the goal, anything despicable and shameless can be done. What should you do if these countries behind the scenes intervene in the event of a conflict or even a war between Somalia and Ethiopia?

In fact, it can be seen from this that Li Mo is worried that those enemies have become impatient and want to use this conflict to find an excuse for direct intervention. If there was a 'multinational coalition military intervention', Li Moke would not have the slightest power to fight back. Unless nuclear weapons are used. But are nuclear weapons easy to use? Unless Li Mo doesn't plan to mix around on Earth.

……

Capital Military District, 1st Armored Brigade.

Brigadier General Luo Xiang, commander of the Somali Special Forces, is accompanying the commander of the Libyan Trust Special Forces, Lieutenant Colonel Hamis, to watch the Defender tank drill.

Lieutenant Colonel Khamis is the sixth son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, who had received special forces training in Russia. Gaddafi prepared for the establishment of the Libyan special forces, and later served as the commander of the 32nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Libyan Revolutionary Guards.

The main purpose of this visit is to investigate whether the surname of the 'Defender' tank can really compete with the third-generation main battle tanks of the West.

Now what everyone is looking at is not the 'Defender A' tank, but a simplified version of the A-type, which reduces the silicon-uranium alloy armor and reduces the protection surname, and is known as the 'Defender S' tank internally in the military. Compared with the A type, although the S tank reduces the silicon-uranium alloy plate, it increases the thickness of the ordinary homogeneous armor, so the overall weight of the tank has increased slightly, and the vehicle weighs 46 tons, which is two tons heavier than the A type. The S tank also had a turret that was no longer similar to the original T-72 hemispherical cast turret, but instead of a welded turret, which looked much larger than the A-type turret. Due to the weight gain, the overall center of gravity of the vehicle has shifted upward, the maximum road speed and off-road speed have decreased, and other aspects such as the internal fire control system and electronics have not changed much.

On the whole, although the combat surname of the 'Defender S' tank is not up to the subsequent improved models of the third-generation main battle tanks of various countries, it is almost the same as the benchmark models of several world-famous main battle tanks. On top of that, the ex-factory cost of the S-tank was reduced by a third, to just $1.8 million (excluding the profit on silicon-uranium alloys), and if the profits on silicon-uranium alloys were taken into account, the export price would be about $3 million per unit. This price is basically in line with the international price of the third-generation main battle tank, which belongs to the kind of middle and low level.

Lieutenant Colonel Khamis watched a drill for a tank company, and his eyes were already glowing. immediately asked Luo Xiang to drive it himself.

Luo Xiang naturally had no reason to disallow this proposal, and nodded in agreement. If you don't let Khamis drive, how can you make him pay for it?

A quarter of an hour later, several people came to the guest house of the headquarters of the Capital Military District, and the commander of the Capital Military District, Major General Adamu, walked around for a while and left. Although Khamis is the son of Gaddafi, he is still slightly deficient compared with him, a member of the National Defense Committee and the commander of the Capital Military District.

"Luo, this tank is really amazing, you don't feel crowded at all when you sit in it, no one can imagine that in such a low tank, there is plenty of space for combatants." Khamis still waved his hands excitedly and said, this action seems to be inherited from Gaddafi. But compared to his older brother Saf, Khamis looks more like a real military man than a real politician like Saif is.

"But...... Luo, this tank also has some shortcomings. Of course, despite its shortcomings, it is still an excellent tank. I've been to Egypt and seen the Yankees' M1A1 tanks there, but the Egyptians didn't let me drive the tanks myself, but I feel that your tanks should be similar to the Yankees' tanks. Khamis then said with a straight face.

Luo Xiang naturally knows his own things, and there must be shortcomings. After all, the 'Defender' tank is a kind of 'premature baby', a kind of tank that is derived from political necessity. For example, in the design of the tank, the T-72 tank was borrowed, although some improvements were made, but the T-72 tank seems to have many problems today, and all of them have not been solved.

It can be said that the emergence of the 'Defender' tank is entirely based on the strong protection of silicon-uranium alloys.

"Lieutenant Colonel Hamis, the good stuff of the Yankees will never be sold to us countries that believe in Islam. They are very hostile to us, and even the weapons they sell us are second-rate goods, and there are even backdoors in them. However, among our fraternal countries, there is no such worry, and a greater degree of trust can be achieved. ”

"Luo, you're right. The most odious thing is the damned Yankees, who carry out all kinds of retaliation and sanctions against those countries that really dare to speak the truth. China is such a country that dares to tell the truth and is dissatisfied with hegemonism, and the hateful Yankees are not only unwilling to sell weapons to us, but even let his lackeys not sell weapons to us. Lieutenant Colonel Khamis seemed to be very hostile to the United States, and became agitated as he spoke.

Luo Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly, he knew that the boss was the one who 'liked' people who dared to tell the truth and resist.

"Lieutenant Colonel Hamis, do you think the Defender tank meets the needs of your country?"

"Of course, I am very satisfied with this tank, and I will definitely report back to my father when I return home. We have purchased a batch of tanks from your country, but I think there are still some areas for improvement in this tank, and if the purchase agreement is reached, your country will have to make improvements to this tank in line with our requirements. ”
