Li Mo, who was standing in the crowd, looked at a row of Su-27S fighters parked on the side of the runway, and suddenly felt inexplicable emotion in his heart. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Soviet-made weapons have an inexplicable sense of trust in the hearts of Chinese people, and most military fans also prefer Soviet-made weapons, which may be related to the 'origin' between the two countries, or the high proportion of Soviet-made weapons used in the Chinese army.

Li Mo himself, like most Chinese people, has a lot of respect for Soviet-made weapons, although he is still far from being a believer, but he definitely likes Soviet-made weapons more than American-made weapons.

In fact, Li Mo also knows that the Su-27 fighter has been researched and produced since research, except for a few times, almost never participated in actual combat, and the few actual battles still occurred in third world countries, such as the competition between the Ethiopian Air Force Su-27 and the Eritrean Air Force MiG-29, although the Su-27 was finally won, but the two are not at the same level at all, the Su-27 is a heavy fighter, and the MiG-29, when it was originally designed, was positioned as a front-line support fighter.

Therefore, what can the real surname of the Su-27 be, Li Mo has no bottom, and I think that the 'deification' of it by the outside world is not just the propaganda of the former Soviet Union or Russia, at least the Su-27 fighter is an aircraft with a good surname, which can be guaranteed. And through the surname price ratio, it is suitable for the equipment of an underdeveloped country like Somalia.

While the Somali delegates were still watching from the air base, the Ukrainian military had already reported Hussein's revealed interest in the Su-27 to the Ministry of Defense, then to the Supreme Soviet Council of National Security and Defense, and finally even Ukrainian President Yushchenko, who was concerned about the matter, knew about it.

Somalia's interest in the Su-27 was a slight surprise to the top of Ukraine's military and political circles. As one of the world's top 10 arms exporters, Ukraine's annual arms sales are only a few hundred million US dollars, and in the global arms trade with a total annual sales of more than 300 billion US dollars, the small one cannot be smaller.

Not to mention the others, the four 'poisonous spider' missile boats purchased by the Somali political axe from Ukraine last time, with a total order amount of 45 million US dollars, are very great for the Ukrainian political axe, and it is also very eager to demand. This is also why after the Somali political axe revealed its desire to purchase arms, the Ukrainian political axe was able to send an invitation to Somalia through official diplomatic channels so quickly.

It's just that this time the Somali political axe is interested in Su-27 fighters, and Ukraine is not saying that this kind of fighter is prohibited from being sold. For the Ukrainian political axe, there is nothing left over from the former Soviet Union that cannot be sold, such as nuclear warheads and strategic missiles are basically destroyed, or all kinds of military technology, even technology can also be sold, but this price needs to be negotiated.

The Ukrainian political axe is surprised, where did the Somali political axe get a large amount of money to purchase Su-27 fighter jets? No matter what kind of weapon it is, if you want to form combat effectiveness or exert the surname ability of the weapon, you must have a certain scale. The same is true for Su-27 fighters, at least 4-8 units must be procured in order to exert a certain combat effectiveness. In this way, the Somali order may exceed 100 million US dollars.

Officials from President Yushchenko to the National Security and Defense Council were pleasantly surprised.

President Yushchenko immediately instructed the Chief of the General Staff Kirichchenko to entertain the Somali guests and that he himself would personally meet with the Chief of the General Staff of the Somali Defence Forces in the evening.

After watching the flight show of the 40th Combat Aviation Regiment of Ukraine, the Somali delegation still felt unsatisfied. The Su-27 fighter is worthy of being known as an advanced fighter with an 'air scalpel', and is also famous for its world-famous as the first fighter that can do a stall maneuver 'Pugachev Cobra maneuver'.

"Boss, what do you mean by this Ukrainian political axe? The good afternoon meeting was postponed to the evening, is it that they are not ready to take the order and deliberately delay? In the hotel prepared by the Ukrainian political axe, Chief of Staff Hussein came to Li Mo's room, scratching with some dissatisfaction.

In the afternoon, after watching the flight show of the Su-27S fighter, Hussein has deeply liked this beautiful fighter, and as the commander-in-chief of the Somali Air Force, he used to be complacent about the more than a dozen MiG planes of the Air Force, and when he saw the Su-27's larger fuselage and keen maneuvering, he was eager to immediately take possession of it. He also wanted to reach a purchase agreement with the Ukrainian political axe as soon as possible, and directly pay to split and pack the fighter jets and fly them back to China, and now that Ukraine has postponed the meeting, how can he not be unhappy?

Li Mo shook his head when he heard this, and he was helpless against Hussein's behavior of 'liking the new and hating the old'. He knew that soldiers were like this, and they always wanted to keep more advanced and powerful weapons for themselves. An officer, who doesn't want their troops to be well-equipped and the envy of others?

"Hehe, probably not." Li Mo was addicted to smoking, pretending to be embarrassed to smoke outside, and as soon as he returned to the room, he lit a cloud and spit out fog.

"In the past two days, I have carefully studied the arms sales to Ukraine, as well as the economic situation in Ukraine. Knowing that Ukraine's attitude towards arms sales and other countries is noticeably different. With the exception of some particularly sensitive, there is almost nothing that cannot be sold in Ukraine, and the country's political leanings are difficult to grasp. In the war between Russia and Georgia, she dared to sell many weapons to Georgia, and in the international blockade, she dared to sell some sensitive technical weapons to China. It's rare for such a neutral country to be. ”

"Really? So, we're not going to make a trip in vain this time? Then Sain was overjoyed. He is now deeply infatuated with the Su-27's graceful 'dancing' in the sky, and if it weren't for his identity, he might have planned to become a Su-27 pilot.

Li Mo saw that Hussein's posture was wrong, and hurriedly reprimanded, "Hussein, you have to know that a weapon is only a weapon when it is advanced, and the most important thing is to rely on people, and modern air combat is not a weapon to win, the quality of the pilot, the temporary reaction capability, intelligence support, and logistical support are all very important." As the chief of the General Staff, you must not have such subjective and one-sided emotions, which can easily affect the officers and men below. I don't want to have a bunch of megalomaniacs. ”

Li Mo felt that Hussein's emotional reaction was dangerous. If it's just a low-level officer or a Su-27 pilot, it's better to say that the pilot is confident in his aircraft, and it is easy to play for a long time, bringing incredible results. And as a high-ranking officer, especially Hussein's identity, which can be said to be the 'boss' of tens of thousands of national defense forces, it is very dangerous to have such a subjective change of mood.

Hussein smiled and suddenly came to his senses, he also knew that the ideas he had just now were dangerous, and once this kind of atmosphere was brought into the army, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Hussein, who was shocked into a cold sweat, naturally accepted the boss's teachings with an open mind.

"You remember that you are not the same now, and you have to keep your mind cool at all times. Carelessness should not lead to bad consequences for Somalia. Li Mo thought about it and continued to criticize, and then didn't dwell on this matter. After all, Hussein is the chief of the General Staff, although he is his subordinate, but Li Mo also knows that when dealing with subordinates with such an identity, he must be justified when he should be reprimanded, but he must also take into account the face of his subordinates.

Next, the two made some plans and preparations for the evening meeting.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Li Mo and the others appeared on time in a conference hall on the 8th floor of the Political Axe Building of the Ukrainian Parliament. On the surface, this is a normal diplomatic visit between the two countries, but in fact it is a procurement of arms. The representatives of Ukraine participating in the meeting were mainly the military and the National Security and Defense Council, the Ukrainian Corporation for Importing and Exporting Weapons and Special Equipment, the Ukrainian aviation giant Antonov Aviation Science and Technology Complex, Zapori Say, etc.

The Somali side was represented by Li Mo, Chief of Staff Hussein, Li Jinfei (Mouse), Minister of Trade of Xingchen Company, and officials from the political axe military.

When Li Mo learned about the Ukrainian delegates, his brows furrowed slightly. There are many representatives of state-owned enterprises in Ukraine attending the meeting, and it will be difficult for him to have an easy evening meeting. After all, Xingchen Company is also the only arms import and export company in Somalia, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Xingchen Company is a state-owned company in Somalia based on the complex relationship between the Xingchen Organization and the Somali political axe military.

But fortunately, everyone understands that the content of the evening talks is Hussein's order, and the Ukrainian political axe is very urgent and needs this order very much, so it deliberately creates a relaxed and enthusiastic atmosphere. The talks did not appear very serious at the beginning.

Hussein solemnly took out a document wrapped in an encrypted file bag from his briefcase and handed it to the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Kirichenko, with both hands.

And on the Ukrainian side of the conference table, which couldn't wait, several officials close to the middle, regardless of the jokes seen by outsiders, turned their heads, and their eyes looked at the list in Kirichenko's hand motionlessly.

"General Kirichchenko, my country's political axe intends to purchase a batch of Su-27 fighters from your country to strengthen our country's territorial air defense, and this list lists the aircraft models that my country is interested in......" Hussein looked at the irrepressible surprise on the faces of the Ukrainian representatives on the other side, and said with a light smile.

For this purchase, the boss Li Mo prepared 800 million US dollars. He took more than half of the 'windfall' that was swept away from Kenya. You should be very happy to come to the Ukrainian political axe, right? You must know that a large order of 8 US dollars is a very large order even in a large arms sales country like the United States and Russia. And in Ukraine, sometimes arms sales in a year do not reach this figure.

Of course, these Ukrainian political axes are not clear, and Hussein naturally will not be stupid to reveal how much money he is ready for. Isn't that clearly preparing to be slaughtered? Hussein also intends to lower the price on the grounds that the Su-27 electronic system equipped by Ukraine is old and the aircraft has not been well maintained for a long time. Because the boss had quietly told him that buying arms from Ukraine, especially these 'old' weapons, can be discounted.

This is not Li Mo's nonsense, but it is true. Li Mo vaguely remembers that two years later, the United States political axe secretly purchased two Su-27 fighters from Ukraine through various connections to understand the strength of the air forces of a large number of countries equipped with Su-27 fighters, such as Huaxia and other countries. And through the understanding and cracking of the Su-27 fighter, find loopholes and increase the way to win in air combat.

And the Ukrainian parliament even hangs a part of the 'sale list' on the official website every year, which is basically decades old antiques, which are not attractive to military powers, but for those underdeveloped countries and small countries, these weapons produced in the former Soviet Union era are still quite marketable.
