shook hands with a few Chinese visitors in civilian clothes and had a secret mission, and only then sat down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After more than 10 days of detailed testing, the inspection report of the May Fourth pistol supported by silicon-uranium alloy by the Huaxia scientific research department was finally handed over to the desk of the high-level management.

Through this report, both the high-level and military departments in China have seen the important shortcomings in filling the problems restricting the upgrading of China's military industrial system.

Although a new material cannot fundamentally solve the backward gap with Western countries, it can solve the difficulties that are difficult to overcome due to material problems in many research projects. In particular, with the reform and opening up, China's economic strength has gradually increased, and national defense construction has become a key point of China's political work.

Unlike other countries, China is a big country with a weak foundation, although after decades of cumulative development, it already has a complete military industrial system and scientific research system. However, in some areas, it is still very different from Western countries. New materials, especially excellent material technology, have become a constraint in national defense construction.

From the very beginning, China's military technology took the road of introduction, research and absorption, imitation, and independent research. Although through the efforts of countless scientific research talents and the height of standing on the shoulders of others, Huaxia's military technology has developed rapidly. However, the development of science and technology is a long-term accumulation process, although Huaxia has taken a shortcut through the process of introducing and absorbing imitation, but it has also brought many problems. For example, in some areas, the accumulation of technology is insufficient, and it cannot be compared with the technology accumulation of dozens or hundreds of years in the West, and there is a big gap.

The emergence of silicon-uranium alloy not only improves the localization of Huaxia's military technology, but also can learn from and inspire Huaxia's technology in new materials, so it is valued by Huaxia's political axe and military industry departments.

After more than ten days of discussions, Huaxia Zheng Axe finally planned to buy this alloy from Li Mo, and a secret delegation arrived in Somalia at this time.

The head of the delegation is also an acquaintance of Li Mo, Li Guoqing, director of the Overseas Development Department of Huaxia Nonferrous Metals Group. Other members include material specialists from the military-industrial sector, political axes and representatives of relevant military departments. For the sake of secrecy, everyone diverted from South Africa to Somalia.

"Minister Li, I heard that you have been promoted?" Li Mo looked at Li Guoqing and smiled. This person has dealt with him more often, because all of Somalia's mineral resources are currently under the control of Li Mo. Although there is a minister of mineral resources on the political axe's side, the development and utilization of mineral resources requires the approval of the military. Because from the very beginning, Li Mo asked the military to control the power of this approval on the grounds that it involved national defense construction.

As the head of the development department of Huaxia Nonferrous Metals Group, Li Guoqing has cooperated with the Mineral Resources Development Company under Xingchen Group on several projects in Somalia, including one medium-sized copper mine and two iron ore mining rights. However, the relationship between Huaxia and Li Mo cracked several times, and Li Mo tightened the approval in this regard, except for Xingchen Company and Somali businessmen, it is very difficult for foreign capital in Somalia to obtain the development of mineral resources.

Somalia is rich in mineral resources, but it has not been well developed because of the long civil war. Foreign companies know it, and so does Li Mo. That's the weight in his hand.

"Boss Li, this promotion is still borrowed from you. The superiors who cooperated with Xingchen Company were very satisfied and let me take on the position of vice president. Li Guoqing said with a smile, a little smug in his tone, and patted his ass casually.

He knows very well that if he wants to be appreciated by his superiors, he must make achievements in his work. And in Somalia, if you want to make a difference, you have to build a good relationship with the young people in front of you. In the past, Li Mo was just a 'businessman', and he could have great power, but now he is becoming the deputy commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, and he has even more power in his hands. In this way, the vice president is not the end of his way.

Then Li Guoqing introduced several important members to Li Mo.

"Boss Li, I wonder if I can visit the silicon-uranium alloy production line?" Just when Li Guoqing had just finished his introduction, a voice sounded abruptly, making everyone stunned.

Li Mo looked over and found that the person who spoke was Jiang Guoqiang, a material expert from a research institute in Huaxia introduced by Li Guoqing. An old man in his sixties.

"Mr. Jiang, there is no hurry to visit the silicon-uranium alloy production line. The factory is far from here, and it takes almost a day by car, so you can rest in Mogadishu for a few days. Seeing the change in Li Guoqing's face, Li Mo knew that this Jiang expert's proposal was completely autonomous, and perhaps only such a pure scientific research worker would be curious about a new discovery in the field he was good at, and at the same time, he was full of desire for knowledge.

Although Li Mo admired such a scientific research expert, he would not easily agree to the other party's proposal. The silicon-uranium alloy production line is the top secret of Xingchen Company, where there is a company of soldiers guarding 24 hours a day, that is, the workers of the production line, all of whom have been strictly examined, and the intelligence department will also monitor these workers to a certain extent to prevent them from infiltrating other countries' spies and probing the secrets of the factory.

With the exception of Jiang Guoqiang and the other two experts on materials, everyone else is a political veteran, and even if they are not, they will not ask such a 'naïve' question directly.

When Li Guoqing heard Li Mo's explanation, he didn't understand what Li Mo meant, and hurriedly said with a haha, "What Boss Li said is that the silicon-uranium alloy production line has time to visit. Let's start with cooperation. After Li Guoqing finished speaking, he glanced at the two people in the Huaxia delegation. Li Mo knew that these two people might be the real people in charge of the delegation. The appointment of Li Guoqing as the head of the regiment may be due to the fact that Huaxia Zhengaxe considers that Li Guoqing and Li Mo are more familiar.

One of these two people who are really in charge is from the military, and the other is from the political axe department. from the General Armament Department of Huaxia and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

In Jiang Guoqiang's words, the strength, weight and temperature resistance of silicon-uranium alloy can surpass titanium aluminum alloy in an all-round way, if it is used in the compressor, turbine blades, turbine shafts and other aspects of aero engines, the weight of the engine will be reduced by 10%-15%, the service life of the engine will be increased by 20%, and the overhaul time will be longer. From this point of view, the value of silicon-uranium alloy is incalculable, which is still only used in aero engines, silicon-uranium alloy in high and low temperature, corrosion resistance and other aspects of the surname can also be used in some ships, such as submarines!

It's just that the price quoted by Li Mo is too expensive, taking the Al-31F engine used in a Su-27 fighter as an example, the unit price is 3 million US dollars and the weight is 1.730 tons. And how much silicon-uranium alloy does an engine consume? Definitely quite a few. In this way, the price of an engine may have doubled.

However, although the price is much more expensive, it is beneficial to the successful development and industrial production of the domestic 'Taihang' engine of this engine. Although the 'Taihang' engine is similar to the Russian-made AL-31F engine in many technical indicators, it is still much worse in terms of overall surname energy. Because many of the components were not up to standard, the engine was still experimental. Huaxia also purchases a batch of engines from Russia every once in a while to produce the domestically produced J-11 and replace the engines of Russian-made fighters such as the Su-27 and Su-30 that have reached the end of their service life.

The mission came to Somalia to conduct detailed negotiations on the procurement of alloys and to negotiate prices.

On the first day, there were no formal negotiations, so Li Mo arranged for these people to stay in a secret place and called experts to provide consulting services to these 'big customers'.

Li Mo himself took the time to go to the presidential palace, and President Yusuf called and discussed with him on an important matter.

"Li Mo, you're here, come and take a look at this information." When You Sufu saw Li Mo coming, he hurriedly said affectionately. The relationship between the two has now become more and more intimate, and it is very pleasant to work together. Although Li Mo refused to serve as vice president, he took over the post of vice commander and was given a special power, that is, the power to meddle in the affairs related to national defense and security. This power is an invisible power, an agreement reached by both sides secretly, and the tacit two have therefore put away all their previous vigilances and served the strength of Somalia like a pair of old friends who have worked together for many years.

"What is the information? How did you make you so happy? Huh......" Li Mo smiled and took a thick document, and when he saw the badge on the first page of the document, he couldn't help but say in surprise, "The content of the AU summit?" Isn't July the second and final AU summit of the year? ”

You Sufu smiled, did not explain, but motioned for Li Mo to take a look.

When Li Mo finished reading this information, he let out a breath of turbidity. His face became excited.

"President, what happened to Somalia's nomination to the AU Peace and Security Council this time?"

The African Union, the full name of the African Union, is the second important regional alliance of countries in the world after the European Union, and is a political entity integrating politics, economy and military in the whole continent. All 53 countries in Africa are members, with the exception of Morocco, which withdrew in 1986, although Morocco still enjoys the preferences and privileges of other members of the AU.

The AU summit is the highest authority of the AU, while the AU Peace and Security Council is a body similar to the UN Security Council, but in the AU, the power of the Peace and Security Council is far less than that of the Security Council. Even so, the weight of the members of the Peace and Security Council is very heavy, since the requirements for its election are chosen solely on the basis of the military strength of the country.

After more than a decade of civil war in Somalia, which was previously a country that was peacekeepers sent by the Peace and Security Council to maintain peace, now peacefully reunited and defeated Kenya, its military strength is naturally recognized.

The reason why Li Mo is so happy is that his efforts have brought about great changes in Somalia and has been recognized by others, and secondly, as a member of the Council, he has the opportunity to meddle in the affairs of other countries. There are many countries or regions in Africa that are similar to Somalia before. If Somalia wants to improve its political standing in the international arena, it must 'behave' in international affairs.
