"Omar, does he have a way to get these planes to sea?" Li Mo asked in surprise after hearing the other party's words. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
So many coveted arms that could not be brought back. There is nothing more torturous in the world. I could see and touch them, but I couldn't play their role, and both Li Mo and Michael were about to turn gray because of this.
But just when the two racked their brains, they couldn't transport these behemoths out. Abdul, the head of the base, suddenly appeared and told the two that Omar could transport the weapons to the sea.
Abdur usually has an indifferent expression, and only in front of Omar will he show various emotions. At this time, when he heard Li Mo's question, he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart. In his mind, Omar's words could not be doubted.
However, he also knew that there was an Oriental and a Westerner in front of him, and both of them were very close to the leader of Omar. This time, the Taliban forces were able to retake Kandahar, thanks to two people.
Therefore, Abdur was only dissatisfied in his heart for a while, and his face did not show it at all, "The chief has a good personal relationship with Iranian President Ahmadinejad!" ”
It turned out to be a tough relationship with Iran's hard-line president who is hostile to NATO!
Li Mo and Michael suddenly realized. The two had not thought of passing through Iranian territory before. But first, this distance is farther than Pakistan, and second, because neither of them has a strong relationship in Iran. At the very least, this relationship should be with the main leaders of Iran. Otherwise, no country would allow so many arms to pass through safely.
"We don't know how to thank Leader Omar anymore. This time the matter is done, and in the future, the leader of Omar will need us, despite the command! Li Mo and Michael glanced at each other and said sincerely.
Anyway, this deal with Omar. Li Mo and Michael took advantage of the big one. Now, even for such a difficult matter as transporting arms, Omar needs to help contact the Iranian side and make it convenient for the two of them. Such a big favor will definitely need to be repaid in the future.
"Hehe, our leader said, as long as the two of you support the Taliban in the future!" Abdur still did not smile, and said with a stern face.
"Please tell the leader of Umar and reassure him. We will do our best to help the Taliban in the future! "At this time, no matter whether the promised promise can be fulfilled or not, it is still necessary to say it. Li Mo also understood that Abdul's 'support for the Taliban' meant that Li Mo and Michael should support Omar, not Afghanistan.
However, Li Mo felt strange in his heart. How could Omar value him and Michael so much. You must know that the two of them are just third-rate arms dealers now, if they can be said to have some power compared to ordinary people, but compared to the Taliban, an armed organization that is well-known in the world, it is not enough.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Mo didn't understand the reason. But he has always been confident about his future achievements. With the strength of his abilities and mental power, it is not impossible to gain a foothold or even dominate the international arms industry. But these things, Omar certainly did not know; Why would he still be so supportive of the two?
Li Mo shook his head, still unable to figure it out. I'll put this matter aside for now. Michael and Abdul immediately discussed the route and safety of the arms shipment.
On the first route question, the three of them simply compared to the map for a while, and then it was determined. Most of the southern part of Afghanistan is under the influence and control of various guerrilla groups. If the Taliban forces take advantage of the passage, these guerrillas and small tribe forces will not and dare not stop them. The arms were transported to the southwestern Afghan city of Zaranj, from where they entered Iranian territory. As for which route to take in Iran, it will be up to the Iranian side to decide. The weapons were eventually loaded onto ships in the port of Bandar Abbas, southern Iran. From Bandar Abbas to Somalia in Africa, the distance is less than 2,000 kilometers. An ordinary cargo ship can reach Somalia in just one week.
And the safety of this batch of munitions, of course, was escorted by Li Mo and Michael's men. Without their own people watching, neither of them will be at ease.
After the transportation was roughly discussed, Abdul went out to report to Umar. Now wait for Omar to negotiate with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as long as the Iranian side can close its eyes.
"Li, these weapons need to be disassembled, otherwise they will be too big to be transported." After Abdur left, Michael said suddenly.
These planes, which are more than 4 meters high and more than 10 meters long, are definitely not capable of being transported by trucks. And there are no railways in Afghanistan yet. It cannot be transported by train. If you only rely on container trucks, you have to disassemble the aircraft. Like the Mi-24 gunship that Michael took away last time.
After Li Mo understood this, he agreed with Michael's words. But then it occurred to me that there were no people in the Star Organization who knew about airplanes, and if these planes were disassembled; Even if it reaches Somalia, it will not be able to assemble.
Michael seemed to see the embarrassment on Li Mo's face, smiled and said, "We can ask Omar to send some engineers and technicians to follow us back." Anyway, I've already had a lot of help from Omar, so I don't care about that! ”
Li Mo thought about it for a while and felt that Michael's method would also work. But when these planes arrived in Somalia, no one at the base could fly them. There were no people to repair, and Li Mo couldn't help but think in his heart, did he pull away a group of pilots and maintenance personnel under Omar?
However, this kind of thought, Li Mo is just in his mind, Omar has helped him so much, Li Mo will not be embarrassed to do this. And it is still unknown whether these engineers who have been brainwashed by religion will be 'seduced' by Li Mo.
"If only we were a country!" Michael sighed suddenly, his expression full of helplessness.
Li Mo was stunned for a moment, and asked with interest, "Why do you say that?" ”
"If we're representing a country, we can fly these planes back in the open. Why is it so troublesome. Just inform the country you pass by, and drive the plane back directly! ”
As it turned out, Michael was also upset by the problem of transporting arms.
Li Mo smiled softly and said, "If we represent a country, we don't have to worry about this kind of thing, the seller will find a way to deliver it to your door!" ”
"By the way, Michael, let's divide these planes and tanks, shall we? Also, where are your weapons going to go? Li Mo suddenly patted his head, thought of an important question, and hurriedly asked Michael.
14 aircraft, 3 helicopter gunships, and 26 tanks. How to divide Li Mo and Michael was not discussed at the beginning. At this moment, Li Mo brought it up because the weapon was about to be transported, and if it was not discussed, it would be very troublesome later.
Michael nodded, his face was straight, he looked directly at Li Mo and said, "Li, regarding the distribution of these weapons, I was originally going to wait for the weapons to be shipped out before discussing with you; Since you brought it up, let's talk about it! Saying this, Michael paused for a moment and continued to say something that surprised Li Mo.
"I can give you all this batch of arms!"
Li Mo was in a trance for a long time before asking, "Why...... What are your qualifications? After digesting Michael's abrupt decision, Li Mo also reacted.
There is no such thing as a free lunch! Li Mo is not the obscure little person who struggled at the bottom of society in his previous life. He understands that Michael gives so much and expects more from himself.
Michael suddenly smiled, and instead of answering Li Mo's words directly, he asked, "Li, tell me the truth, do you have a big ...... Thoughts, "Originally, he was going to say ambition or ambition, but it was not appropriate to think about it, so he replaced it with a tactful word 'idea'.
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Mo's eyes, and he quickly disappeared. Of course he wouldn't admit it, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How much desire and ambition do you think we can have as a private person?" Achievement is directly proportional to strength. It's not just a matter of talking about it, it's just thinking about it! ”
The words are very vague and plausible. It's true and false.
Michael didn't care about Li Mo's haha, and replied vaguely. It seems that Li Mo is identified.
"Li, I'll give you all these weapons. Of course, I also have a small condition! Michael said with a straight face.
Li Mo nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"I want the weapons you produce. I'm going to give a portion of it for sale! After Michael finished speaking, he was also a little apprehensive in his heart. He didn't know if Cao Li Mo would agree to this suggestion. On the face of it, Michael suffered. So many planes and tanks. Although it is a second-rate weapon, it is worth more than 100 million US dollars. Half of it, it's $50 million. can be compared to Michael's entire net worth.
Such a big stroke, of course, is not a whim. Or dizziness. Michael did this with a comprehensive consideration.
First of all, Li Mo is different from other private arms dealers. Young don't say. It also has its own production base. Although, in today's world, there are many people who have their own arms production bases. And there are even more armed organizations that produce firearms and arms. Like Afghanistan, especially in the south and on the border with Pakistan. Many Afghan civilians use home workshops to produce copycat versions of AK rifles.
But Li Mo is different. Li Mo is a Chinese. In that land of ancient traditions. Unexpectedly, such a special person as Li Mo was born. When he was in his 20s, he went to Africa thousands of miles away to establish a secret arms production base. This kind of person does not talk about ability, and this courage alone is surprising.
And in Li Mo's hand, there is also a super soldier with an unknown number of people. These are all things that Michael learned from Tom, the captain of his bodyguard, a former retired officer of the British Special Forces Special Air Service Regiment. Last night's encirclement and suppression of the Delta Special Forces, Michael has always been unoptimistic. But in the end, it was a detachment in the delta, which was almost completely annihilated. Although one person ran away, this kind of battle, if known to the outside world, would definitely cause an uproar.
Tom revealed privately. All of them have such a record, and it is completely the work of Li Mo's subordinates. Tom, as a retired special forces, has his glory and principles. There will be no cheating on such things.
A mysterious Chinese arms dealer who also has a group of mysterious and powerful soldiers. Plus Li Mo's age. No one can underestimate him. Michael is no exception.
In order to befriend Li Mo before he rises, Michael will make such a big investment. $50 million in arms is a non-negligible amount for any arms dealer. Even if the other party is Lockheed . An arms giant like Martin.
