The chief of the Pala tribe is not what Li Mo imagined in his mind. It's a wizened old man. The swarthy face was covered with furrow-like wrinkles.

Dressed in a set of Somali national costumes, Mohr carries behind him six large men who are known at first glance as guards. Standing in front of the big house in the middle of the tribe with a smile and a smile, he greeted Li Mo's arrival.

Without the introduction of stones, Li Mo also knew that this old man who was only about 170cm tall was the chief of this tribe, Mohr.

Li Mo strode forward and stretched out his hands enthusiastically, but at this time, he suddenly remembered that he didn't know Somali, and he didn't know if the other party could speak English. This made Li Mo very embarrassed, and he didn't know how to speak.

"Hello, guest from the East!" The Moore people are old and fine, and they knew what the reason was when they saw Li Mo's expression, and said skillfully in English with a smile.

"Mr. Chief, I'm Li Mo from Huaxia, and I'm glad to have your invitation." The first time Li Mo talked to a foreigner, he was very unaccustomed to it, and he didn't know what to say. Because there are many differences between Chinese culture and Western culture, not to mention the aborigines of Africa who have their own characteristic cultures. Li Mo is afraid that if he says something wrong, it will not be good to cause misunderstanding.

At this time, some idle people in the tribe slowly gathered towards this place. As a member of the Para tribe, any inhabitants are directly under the rule of the Moore chieftain. They were very curious about who would let the chief go out to greet him personally.

"Li Mo? I didn't expect you to be so young, haha, I thought Zhang's boss was someone about my age. Moore smiled heartily, only a flash of surprise in his half-squinted eyes.

"Li Mo, let's go to the house..."Moore stretched out his dry hand, grabbed Li Mo, and said with a smile.

As he passed by a few guards behind Moore, Li Mo glanced at it slightly. Although these guards were all carrying AK47s, they did not have the temperament of a soldier at all, and they were completely peasants with guns.

Entering the house, Li Mo looked around, there was a lot of space in this room, enough to accommodate dozens of people without feeling crowded.

At this moment, in the middle of the room, there is a low wooden table with some strange food on it.

"Boss, they don't use a table to eat, they put it directly in the middle, and everyone eats with their hands around it, but I think you must not be used to it, boss, so I specially asked to prepare a table and knives and forks." The expert came to Li Mo's side at this time and said in a low voice in Chinese.

Li Mo was stunned, this was the first time he had heard of this habit. Thinking of a large family, grabbing vegetables in a vegetable pot and stuffing them into his mouth, Li Mo felt sick to his stomach. Even looking at the strange and sumptuous dishes on the table, I felt that I had no appetite.

However, Li Mo's strangeness was not revealed in the slightest, but followed behind Moore with a smile and reserve, and sat down at the table.

At this time, a few people came in the house, and Li Mo raised his eyes to see two men and two women. One of the very old women, Li Mo guessed that it should be Moore's wife, and the other three younger men and women were Moore's children.

After Moore's introduction, Li Mo knew that his guess was right, Moore's wife Li Mo didn't know what her name was, and Moore didn't say it, his daughter's name was Sonia Parra. The eldest son, who was in his thirties, had a calm complexion, and at first glance knew that he had been raised as the heir of the tribe, and his name was Senri Parra. The last youngest son, much more lively, in his twenties, was named Aka Parra; After entering the door, he kept staring at Li Mo curiously, and when Li Mo looked back, he showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled at Li Mo.

Drinking camel milk, Li Mo smiled and groaned with Moer. Ever since he learned that Moore was going to invite him to dinner, he knew that it would not be a simple reception, and that there must be something important to discuss.

But since Moore didn't say it, Li Mo was also happy to be idle, and he definitely wouldn't mention it first.

Comfortably picked up a huge banana on the table, Li Mo peeled it and ate it with relish, among all the fruits, his favorite thing to eat is bananas, and Somali bananas are famous all over the world, not only thin skin and thick meat, sweet taste, but also the world's sweetest banana reputation.

Moore watched Li Mo eating bananas happily, without the slightest intention of talking about other topics, he couldn't sit still, but he wondered if Li Mo noticed something.

Glancing at his eldest son Senri, Moore helped Li Mo fill the cup, squeezed out a few flower-like smiles on his wrinkled face and said, "Mr. Li Mo, although I don't know what you are doing in Africa, I think you, as a guest from the East, must need some help here, and although our Pala tribe is not the largest tribe in this area, the soldiers of our tribe are very brave and can definitely cooperate with you." ”

Rather than making roundabout and tentative things like the Chinese or diplomats, Moore made his suggestions succinctly and directly.

"Hehe, I wonder what Chief Moore wants to cooperate with?" Li Mo thought sharply about Moore's meaning in his heart, but asked quietly on the surface.

"Haha, I've always heard that you Orientals speak very subtlely, but I haven't believed it, and when I talk to you today, I finally know that the rumors are not necessarily false." Mohr is also an old fox, so he stopped at the beginning of the topic and immediately laughed. He knew that Li Mo would definitely have to consider the meaning of his words, as long as Li Mo couldn't think of it, his mind would not be calm, so that when he put forward the content, he could slowly grasp the initiative.

Li Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face was plain. It's not that Li Mo is thoughtful and has already understood what Mo'er means, but that he is not ready to cooperate with the Pala tribe.

"Chief Moore has something to say." Li Mo came here mainly to thank the Pala tribe for their help in building the base, although it was conditional, but it was finally a favor. Therefore, Li Mo doesn't want to continue to slowly consume this, and when it comes to cooperation, a win-win situation will be cooperated, and a loss will not be done.

Hearing Li Mo's words, a trace of pride flashed in Moore's eyes, and he asked with a smile, "I don't know what Mr. Li Mo thinks about the situation in Somalia?" ”

Li Mo didn't expect the other party to ask about this. However, Li Mo has also found a lot of information recently, plus some memories from his previous life, so he said with a smile, "Somalia is very similar to our period in the Republic of China, the warlords are divided and dominated, and the political axe led by the literati can only control the vicinity of the capital Mogadishu, and the rest of the country is fragmented." ”

"Could it be that the Chieftain is in favor of the SRRC?" Li Mo suddenly asked.

Moore and his eldest son, Senri, were shocked, they didn't know why Li Mo asked that.

"Yes, we in the Para tribe belong to the 'Somali Patriotic Movement'. It was only three years ago that the Somali patriotic movement was divided, and the Morgan faction supported by our Pala tribe was wiped out by the other faction and the Aideed faction, and only our remaining small tribes were not exterminated by the other side. Maybe the other party thinks our strength is too small. Moore said at the end, a self-deprecating look on his face.

Li Mo turned his head and glanced at the expert, his eyes full of inquiry.

The expert shook his head and showed that he didn't know about it. He has been in Somalia for only a few months and has spent most of his time in the base.

"If I remember correctly, the Somali National Union and your Somali Patriotic Movement belong to the SRRC (Somali Reconciliation and Restoration Commission), how can they be divided internally and even attack each other?" Although Li Mo knows some news about Somalia from the Internet, many things on the news only have a general introduction and will not have detailed content.

Senri Parra interjected at this time, "The main problem is that Morgan is the son-in-law of the former president, because Siad was overthrown by everyone, so Morgan is very hostile to these organizations and parties, so everyone wants to strangle Morgan before he is strong." ”

Li Mo nodded when he heard this, there are many examples of this kind of grass cutting and rooting in Huaxia.

"Chief Moore, I don't know how I can help you? You know I'm just a businessman. Li Mo already knew the other party's purpose. It is no surprise that the expert once promised to give the Pala tribe some weapons as a reward to thank the Pala tribe for their help in the construction of the base.

Somalia has been in a state of fragmentation since the US-led peacekeeping force was hit hard, with constant conflicts in various places. In particular, the events of 11 September last year led the United States to designate Somalia as a nest of terrorists and to force a group of younger brothers to adopt an arms embargo on Somalia by the United Nations.

Without weapons, it is simply the life of a group of warlords, the larger warlords are better, and light weapons can be simply copied some, but a small tribe with a population of less than 300 people like the Pala tribe is simply a lamb without the slightest protection, with the attention of jackals from all sides.

Therefore, after Moore learned that the experts used weapons as a reward, he did his best to help him build the base, although the core place did not participate, but it also contributed to the construction of the base.

This time, when he learned that Li Mo had come to Africa, Moore was moved. If you can get arms from Li Mo, an Oriental, won't the strength of the Pala tribe increase by leaps and bounds? The most important thing in Africa is people, and although there are many copycat weapons, there are still very few in the country of Somalia.

In this troubled era, having a gun is the king of grass, not only the predecessors of China know it, but also the chiefs of small tribes in Africa.

"Mr. Li Mo, you know the situation in our country, and if you don't have the strength, you don't know when you will be annexed, so I desperately hope that you can provide us with arms, of course, the reward will definitely not be less. Not only do we pay for the goods in US dollars, but we also provide protection for your factory on the other side of the mountain. Prevent others from disturbing you. Moore deserves to be an old fritter, and what he said made Li Mo unbearable to refuse. What's more, Li Mo himself is an arms dealer, so there is no reason why he is unwilling to sell arms.

It's just that Li Mo doesn't have stock now. The base here has not even purchased raw materials, nor has the machinery and equipment been improved, and there is not even the manpower to work on it.

"Chief Moore, I am also very much in favor of cooperation. As you know, China is a peace-loving country, and the Chinese people are also very peace-loving. For the sake of you, a friend who has helped me, I think cooperation is necessary. After Li Mo finished speaking, he turned around and gave the expert a look.

"Yes, Chief Moore. Our boss is very grateful for your help, this win-win cooperation is definitely in favor. The expert knew that Mohr was seeing Li Mo for the first time, and he definitely didn't know if Li Mo's words were a blank check or something, so a flash of doubt flashed in his eyes, but the expert's words dispelled his doubts.
