After the meeting, Li Mocai frowned and looked at the list of Iranian visitors. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this goodwill visit to Somalia, the head of the delegation was not Rumi, a senior adviser to the Iranian president, whom he was familiar with, but an important military figure in Iran: Yahya, commander-in-chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. Rahim? Major General Safavid!

Even people like Li Mo, who don't know much about the Iranian system, know that the Revolutionary Guard Corps is the Iranian Islamic Religious Guard Corps, that is, the armed forces directly under the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Of course, this is only on the surface, but in reality, how many of the country's regular army are not under the leadership of the leader?

However, it is difficult to understand whether the commander of the religious armed forces in such a state visit is predominantly the commander of the religious armed forces.

Li Mo thought about it for a moment and called Hussein and asked him to try to figure out if the Iranian delegation had other tasks.

Three days later, the Iranian military delegation arrived in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, and perhaps because it was an unofficial military visit, the Iranian delegation's visit did not alarm much of the media, except for a special report in the newly launched "Defense Forces Daily", but the contents of it were not revealed to the outside world.

Ordinary people may be indifferent to this, but this does not mean that the visit of the Iranian delegation will not attract the attention of other forces. Among them, the most important is undoubtedly the United States.

As a member of the 'blacklist' of the United States, Iran's every move has been tracked and investigated by relevant departments, and this time the Iranian military real power figures came to Somalia, a country that is not friendly to the United States, is the purpose of the visit as simple as the diplomatic departments of the two countries revealed that it is just a discussion on arms procurement? Comrade Hayden, head of the CIA's Office of African Affairs in Somalia, once again mobilized the military-political network he operated in Somalia to find out the inside story.

In addition to Huaxia's ambassador to Somalia frequently meeting with a number of high-level Somali politicians, Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang also called Li Mo to test the true purpose of the Iranian delegation to Somalia.

Li Mo also made some explanations on the phone, such as Iran's interest in the Lion King Chariot and other outside world has been officially confirmed through the two countries' officials, but Li Mo also vaguely revealed that the meeting between the two countries is preparing for some cooperation.

This is not that Li Mo leaked confidential information, but that cooperation in joint development of weapons is generally impossible to keep secret, and of course, the specific research process and content are state secrets and will not be revealed.

After a number of actual combat tests by the Iranian military, the Lion King 2 infantry fighting vehicle was highly evaluated, especially the power system of the combat vehicle was very surprised, because the engine of the Lion King 2 infantry fighting vehicle is not inferior to the same type of engine in the world, which has changed the minds of some military personnel who were originally interested in cooperating with Somalia.

Finally, the commander-in-chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Major General Safavi, decided that Iran would purchase 90 Lion King 2 infantry fighting vehicles and maintenance parts, with a total value of $150 million, which is the largest order received by Somali Star Industries Group since its establishment. When the procurement contract was signed, Xingchen organized the boss Li Mo and an ordinary staff member to be very excited.

One of the two main focuses of the Iranian delegation's visit, arms procurement, has come to an end for the time being. However, the discussions between Ho Ping's expert group and the General Staff of the Somali Defence Forces and the political axe industry department on the new tank did not lead to any results.

After two days of consultations, the two sides found that the most difficult thing facing the joint development of a new tank is the electronic equipment of the new tank, which is a very important area of modern tanks, and electronic equipment is not only related to the tank's various functions, but also related to the tank's combat capability in electronic countermeasures.

However, the two sides have not paid much attention to this point, after all, it is to be developed, if any technology is already available, it is not called research and development, but direct production.

At the heart of the dispute between the two sides is the question of where to place the research center. The Iranian side wants the research center to be located in Iran, and the Star Organization wants the research center to be located in Somalia.

Originally, with Iran's industrial base, it was most appropriate for the research center to be located in Iran. In the external environment, the two countries are about the same. But when it comes to defense capabilities, Somalia lags significantly behind Iran. But the Star Organization has to fight over this issue, because in cooperation, Iran has too much advantage. If the research center is also in Iran, whether there will be any changes in the cooperation that will be carried out in the future, the Star Organization does not have this confidence.

The matter was debated and eventually had to be reported to decision-makers on both sides.

Li Mo also frowned, this problem is really difficult to solve. One of the most important is that the strength of the organization is too weak, and cooperating with others is in the sphere of influence of others. Moreover, the organization has too few research talents, and if some of them are diverted to participate in this cooperation plan, once there is a problem, the impact on the organization will be too great.

In addition, Li Mo also had to consider a factor, that is, in the research, the power system in which the Xingchen organization had an advantage, without himself, relying on the expert group, those people did not know when they would be able to come up with a qualified engine.

Therefore, in any case, the research center should be placed in Somalia, and Li Mo knows that in the next two or three years, there has been no war between Somalia and Iran, and the security issue only needs to pay attention to the surprise attacks of special forces and agents of other countries.

When he saw the commander-in-chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Li Mo was slightly stunned. The Safavid commander-in-chief was not tall, but he looked very calm. Safavi is about sixty years old, with a very short white beard, and the sparse white hair on his head is meticulously combed, and when he sees Li Mo, except for a slight smile, his eyes are always full of calm light.

"I didn't expect Li Dong to be younger than in the photo!" These were the first words Safavid said when he saw Li Mo.

"Commander Safavid, there is an old saying in China, young is equal to immaturity and unstability, and it is easy to act impulsively and recklessly!" Li Mo smiled lightly.

Safavid originally planned to use Li Mo's age as an opening to overwhelm Li Mo in momentum, so as to take the initiative in the next conversation. But Li Mo used his strength to admit that he was young, and it was understandable that he could do something unpredictable to ordinary people on the grounds of age.

The two fought for a short time and did not continue, and this kind of confrontation was enough once. If there are too many, they are not here to cooperate, and they are here to make trouble!

Iranian special envoy and senior presidential adviser Rumi did not interject, and sat quietly and listened to the two talk about Iran's customs and customs, it seemed that Li Mo was very interested in Iran's customs and customs, and even asked what famous snacks and fun places in Iran there were.

Rao is Safavi is calm, and when Li Mo asked about 'Iranian folklore', he also felt his head swell.

"Ahem, Chairman Li, we are here this time to confirm the cooperation. Part of the preparations for cooperation between the parties in the development of a new tank has already been determined, and now the question is about the location of the research center...... There is some argument on both sides! Consultant Rumi interjected with a proper cough.

"Resident? Not in Somalia? I have many advanced experimental instruments in the world, the world's top scientific research talents, a good research environment, and a standard experimental site......"

Safavi and Rumi's cheeks twitched a few times, and they found that people could be so shameless! To say that Rumi can still adapt to this kind of conversation, but Safavid has been in the army for 38 years, and he has basically spent his whole life in the army, and he is very uncomfortable with such a conversation full of 'fake big air'.

"Li Dong, although what you said is right, but the development of new tanks is for production, China has a complete industrial base, there are many manufacturers who can provide tank parts, as well as a strong R & D team and the most consolidated security guarantee. The R&D center in Iran will reduce R&D costs, reduce R&D time, etc. Advisor Rumi said with a noncommittal smile.

The panel's argument soon spilled over into Mr. Li's office. There has been a fundamental conflict between the two sides over this core issue, and if this issue is not resolved, cooperation will eventually come to an end.

In the end, Li Mo had to come up with a killer idea, and when he put a piece of information in front of Safavi, he lit a cigarette regardless of the surprised looks of the two of them, and motioned for the two to look at the information.

When the two of them finished reading the information, the look on their faces could no longer be described as surprised, and it was most appropriate to use horror.

Li Mo, who had expected this, said like a nobody, "I don't know what the two of you have to say about the R&D center in Somalia?" This information can be said to be the first time that it has been shown to outsiders, and with these assurances, I believe that it is most appropriate for the research center to be located in Somalia, what do you think? ”

Li Mo put away the information firmly and quietly waited for the choice of the two. Originally, he did not intend to take out this information, but if the debate on this issue continues, it is not known how long the matter of cooperation will be delayed. So he decided to make this risky act on the fly. He was betting on how seriously Iran would take the cooperation.

Commander Safavid and Advisor Rumi glanced at each other and said, "Dong Li, I must report this matter to the leader. ”

Li Mo also knew that the confirmation of the location of the R&D center was a big deal, and it was normal for the two to not be authorized. This is not like the purchase of the Lion King Chariot, but it is an important factor related to who can take the initiative in the research of new tanks.

"Yes, you can notify me when you have a decision." Li Mo would not let the two make a decision on the spot, so he naturally agreed to the request of the two.

When the fox sent the two of them back, he sat on Li Mo's lap and asked hesitantly, "Boss, will they reveal it?" As Li Mo's secretary and the most important assistant in his work, of course the fox knows what is recorded in that document, and it can be said that this information is within the organization, and only a few people know it. Because this can be related to the organization of several of the most important chess pieces, once exposed, for the organization, no less than a nuclear explosion.
