Volume 6 Chapter 683 Dealing with Britain's Chips

readx;

Gu Tianfei left Somalia with a largely satisfactory answer and headed for South Africa. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info came to Somalia because Li Mo is here, and he went to South Africa for a 'business trip', entrepreneurs need to inspect the market, and drug lords also need to grasp the changes in market demand to make corresponding adjustments.

Li Mo supported Gu Tianfei's request for help with reservations, from the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to get too entangled with this matter, but Li Mo couldn't refuse the benefits brought by this plan. Li Mo is most short of money, and Gu Tianfei can provide Li Mo with a large amount of money.

However, what made Li Mo feel a little regretful was that he was not in the hotel with Elaine? Dassault had an 'accident', and the two didn't even meet, mainly because a vinegar jar next to him was too tightly watched, and he was holding Shang Fang's sword, Li Mo didn't want a fire in the backyard, so he could only restrain some thoughts in his heart.

In early August, the first batch of 20 Defender tanks was loaded onto an Iranian ship in the port of Kismayo, and according to the previous agreement, the tanks were to be delivered to the Iranian army, while the next batch was delivered to North Korea, and the last batch was Syria's turn.

This time, the delivery of new tanks was not intended to be kept secret by several countries, and even made some fanfare. Li Mo, deputy commander-in-chief of the Somali Defence Forces, even personally visited the port to participate in the delivery ceremony. The ship, which was loaded with 20 Defender tanks, will then be escorted by a missile boat from the Somali Navy to complete the handover with the Iranian Navy in the Arabian waters north of Somalia and then be escorted back home by the Iranian Navy.

In order to ensure the safety of these tanks, the Somali Air Force will be ready to escort the ships at any time at the request of the Iranian political axe. Under this loose outer and inner tightness, the ship arrived in the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas five days later.

The outside media, especially those in Arab countries, are highly concerned about the delivery of new tanks. Many media outlets even initiate relationships, hoping to get first-hand information in the first place. Within the Arab League, not all countries hope that Iran will strengthen its military strength, and although the Arab League is a whole, the alliance formed because of ethnic and religious beliefs is not unbreakable. Like Saudi Arabia and Iraq, they do not want Iran's military strength to increase, and they are naturally very concerned about this batch of 'defender' tanks jointly manufactured by the four countries, and many countries have already begun to act on the agents planted in Iran.

Some countries that are friendly with Iran have also taken action and sent heavier officials to Iran, hoping to find out whether the surname of the new tank is comparable to that of the third-generation main battle tank of the West, as rumored by the outside world.

In the Gulf War, the gap between the T-72 tanks equipped by Iraq and the third-generation main battle tanks of Western countries was finally recognized by everyone, and the two met, under the joint attack of advanced Western tanks and helicopter gunships, the T-72 tanks were almost powerless, even if the tanks were heads-up, the T-72 was far from the same.

At present, there are also many countries in the Arab League equipped with third-generation main battle tanks, these countries without exception, are pro-Western, and the remaining countries that are not willing to be the little brother of the West, because of economic and political factors, most of them are still based on T-72 tanks, supplemented by a large number of T-54/55 old tanks to form armored forces. Iran's four-nation joint development plan for new tanks was not without news at first, but many countries were in the idea of watching or watching jokes, who knew that a few months later, the R&D center composed of the four countries would really come up with a practical tank, which was the 'Defender' main battle tank.

At present, there are already some photos of the 'Defender' main battle tank in the outside media or on some military websites, and even some websites have hung up some of the surname data of the 'Defender' main battle tank. However, one thing is the same, that is, the outside world is generally skeptical about the real combat effectiveness of the 'Defender' tank, and believes that the 'Defender' tank is not a 'new tank', but a development model of the T-72 tank, which can be or better than most of the development models of the T-72, but it is an exaggeration to say that it is comparable to the main battle tanks used by Western countries.

In the face of the fact that the political axe of the four countries is still very enthusiastic about the new tank, the outside world is very much looking forward to the real combat effectiveness of the new tank, and some media even openly declare that they want to know what the surname of this 'T-72 improved' tank can be, and perhaps they will not know until Syria is equipped with the 'Defender' tank and there is a conflict with Israel. After all, Israel has the 'Merkava' main battle tank, and the surname can be extremely good among the third-generation main battle tanks.

At a time when the political axe of all countries is in action, the Somali side is no exception. Li Mo soon reported to the diplomatic department that Angola would send a delegation to visit Somalia, and after obtaining the agreement, a list of delegations was attached, and the head of the delegation was an old acquaintance, Major General Anboin, Chief of Staff of the Angolan Armed Forces.

Angola is a very important partner of the Somali New Deal, the two sides have carried out a number of cooperation in agriculture and medicine, and Angola is also the largest arms exporter in Somalia, Angola has purchased 100 Lion King 2 infantry fighting vehicles like Somali Star Group.

This time, Angola once again sent a visiting delegation to Somalia, the head of which was an old acquaintance, Major General Amboin, and the purpose of which was to speculate a thing or two, which was nothing more than for the 'defender' main battle tank.

Like Somalia, Angola has endured more than two decades of civil war, which did not end until the new century. However, unlike Somalia, Angola has received a lot of aid and support from abroad in its post-war reconstruction and economic recovery, and China is one of Angola's most important donors. Therefore, Angola and China are close to each other, and in some respects, Angola and Somalia are natural allies.

"Mo, there was a notice from the political axe, 16 British Minister of Trade, Investment and Commerce, David? Rodwell will come to China for a three-day goodwill visit, and the two sides will start a new round of negotiations on British business investment in Somalia. Fan Qingqing, who was dressed in a red suit, stepped on the sandals and walked into Li Mo's office with her exposed pink calves and said.

Li Mo raised his head and glanced at the female secretary who was full of young woman's style and had a bewitching surname, and asked suspiciously, "What does the business negotiation have to do with me?" Why is the notice here? ”

He didn't take over as vice president, he was just a purely military man. The chairman of Xingchen Group is now an expert, and even if it involves Xingchen Group, he should not look for himself.

"It is said that the British Secretary of Commerce came to Suo for the development of natural gas. Natural gas is an international strategic resource, and there was a special stipulation that the development and utilization of Somalia's strategic resources must be approved by the military. Fan Qingqing glanced at Li Mo, and he didn't know whether this guy really didn't know or pretended not to know. This special provision on strategic resources was originally proposed by Li Mo on the order of Chief of Staff Hussein at the National Defense Committee, and was passed with a mandatory surname.

In the final analysis, Somalia does not have any strategic resources, and the so-called 'strategic resources' are all those more valuable resources, and Li Mo's purpose in doing so in the first place was to bring these resources under his control to prevent them from being resold and 'illegally used'. In fact, there is only one meaning, that is, the development of resources in Somalia must be in line with Li Mo's interests.

Somalia currently has 200 billion cubic meters of natural gas reserves, which is not at all the 200 billion cubic feet as speculated. Natural gas is mainly located in three gas fields, one large and one small, with a total value of nearly 100 billion US dollars. It is known to the outside world that it is only a small gas field with reserves of 4 billion cubic meters and a value of about 1.5 billion US dollars. The British Secretary of Commerce came this time for the development and cooperation of this small gas field.

After turning this information in his mind, Li Mo made a decision, that is, on the premise of ensuring that he would not suffer losses, he agreed to cooperate with British companies to develop this small gas field.

The reason why Li Mo did this is, firstly, because Somalia is now in urgent need of deepening relations with the United Kingdom, the former 'suzerain', and a natural gas field is a good weight to strengthen relations, and secondly, a message suddenly flashed in Li Mo's mind, that is, the price of natural gas peaked in 07 and 08, and began to fall again after 09, and before Li Mo was reborn, the price of natural gas still did not reach the peak of these two years.

As one of the three major fuels, natural gas is better than coal and oil in many ways, the most important thing is that it is clean and environmentally friendly, although it will also increase the greenhouse effect, but compared with oil and coal, it is a 'energy-saving and environmentally friendly resource'.

Natural gas is not only used for domestic gas, but also for power generation, chemical industry, engine fuel and other purposes, and until new alternative energy sources are found, natural gas is still one of the most important fuel gases in the world.

Knowing Li Mo's attitude, Fan Qingqing nodded. At this time, she was no longer thinking about the problem from the perspective of the national security agent in the past, but now she was thinking about the problem from Li Mo's point of view. If he had been surnamed before, he would have hoped that Huaxia and Somalia would have cooperated in the development of natural gas, but at present, Huaxia has cooperated with Somalia to develop the only discovered oil field, the large Mudege oil field, and if it cooperates with Huaxia, it will cause dissatisfaction among many forces inside and outside.

It is not very safe to hide yourself under the wings of the strong until you are weak, and sometimes it is very advantageous to maintain a balance. Being too close to China and cooperating too much can easily give the outside world the impression that Somalia is an ally of China. Li Mo does not want to become an 'ally of China', and at such a time, he will be heavily suppressed by the Western world.

Therefore, it is very necessary to win over a major country in the Western world. Although Britain's status in the Western world is not as good as before, its strength is still worthy of affirmation.

How to find a balance between the Western world and the third world is very important. Li Mo's attitude this time means that Li Mo has begun to consider this aspect of the problem. You can't offend all the Western world, after all, this world is still dominated by the Western world, and the mainstream of offending has no strength against the sky, it can only be an act of seeking death, and there is no benefit to him or Somalia.
