On April 10, 2007, three days had passed since the three countries had made their nuclear weapons public. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

During these three days, the center of the world was not in the United States, not in the European Union, but in the three countries that did not rank in the world in terms of comprehensive national strength.

The atmosphere in the Western Pacific, the Persian Gulf in the Middle East, and the Gulf of Aden in East Africa is unprecedentedly tense, and that oppressive atmosphere not only affects neighboring countries and regions, but even ordinary people can feel a heavy weight in their hearts, which makes people breathless.

In today's world, information is easily exchanged, and the speed at which gossip circulates is staggering. At a time when the political axes of various countries are urgently convening closed-door meetings, some of the world's media are already predicting the imminent outbreak of war. The panic of nuclear war has once again enveloped the hearts of the people of the world, and the tragic scene in the area of the atomic bombing of Afghanistan has lingered in the minds of the people for a long time like a movie image.

On 9 July, some members of the Likud Party, a representative of the hardliners in Israel, declared in public that if Iran does not give up its research on nuclear weapons, Israel will not give up its preemptive power in order to maintain balance and stability in the Middle East.

The contradictions between Israel and Arab countries have a long history, and the religious issue and the Israeli-Palestinian territorial dispute are the main contradictions.

This kind of strength does not come not only from the shrewd minds of the Israelis who are good at calculation, not because of Israel's economic and technological development, nor from the support of the Jewish consortium behind the United States for Israel, but because of Israel's invincible hole card against Arab countries as a "small country" -- nuclear weapons. Israel is the only country in the Middle East that possesses nuclear weapons, and its conventional forces far exceed those of the countries in the Middle East.

In order to preserve the hard-won land that Israel has bought for thousands of years of wandering, Israel will never allow an adversary that could jeopardize Israel's existence. As a member of the Arab countries, Iran's relations with Israel need not be said much, and once Iran acquires nuclear weapons, it will be a disaster for Israel.

The rhetoric of Israeli hardliners is not just rhetoric, but will soon be acted upon, and some well-informed forces are already aware of the 'abnormal' reaction of the Israeli military.

As the Arab League, on the other hand, the face of Iran's development of nuclear weapons is mixed, and countries such as Palestine and Lebanon, which have irresolvable contradictions and even territorial disputes with Israel, naturally hope that Arab countries can master nuclear weapons and completely neutralize Israel's nuclear threat. Some countries that have ideas about the 'boss of the Middle East' are worried that Iran will become another Iraq, causing harm to other countries in order to gain the right to speak in the Middle East.

But it is undeniable that the clouds of war in the Middle East have become increasingly evident since Iran announced that it is going to conduct a nuclear test, and many international observers have begun to predict the timing of the outbreak of a sixth Middle East war. Since last year's Israeli airstrikes against Hamas in Barut, Lebanon, and Allah's raid on Israel, the Middle East has begun to gather the clouds of war. This time, Iran's nuclear test and the faint wind of 'Syria and North Korea cooperating in the research of nuclear weapons' have undoubtedly triggered the clouds of this war, and the sixth Middle East war is not far away!

While many countries are calling for restraint on both sides to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue and the Middle East conflict by peaceful means, these rhetoric does not seem to have the slightest effect at this time. Secret mobilization for war, including Iran, is underway.

As the world's only superpower, the United States, which has to get involved in everything, is absolutely impossible to ignore at such a time. With the US Senate appropriating special war funds to the US military in Iraq, batches of war materials have been transported to the Middle East through the US military's global transportation channel, because some countries strongly oppose it, and the US military bases in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other countries will not open their airspace and territory for the US military to carry out any possible attack on Iran. In addition, because the Bagram air base in Afghanistan was destroyed by a nuclear bomb, Kuwait feared that the United States would use its bases to use force against Iran, which would lead to Iranian missile attacks on Kuwait, and also prohibited the US military from using its territorial airspace to attack Iran, but did not prohibit the Kuwaiti US military camp in Doha from becoming a logistics warehouse for all US military operations.

The U.S. military operates in the Middle East using only a few air bases in Turkey and Iraq and the Fifth Fleet naval base in Bahrain.

In order to ensure that the US political axe will maintain sufficient military pressure on Middle East countries in the next Middle East war, US Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld flew to the Middle East on the same day, in the name of mediating Middle East contradictions, but in fact lobbying some countries to relax restrictions on possible US military actions.

First of all, the 'Nimitz' aircraft carrier battle group, which was split up and used because of the stability of the Middle East region, has already begun to assemble in a certain area of the Arabian Sea, and in addition, another aircraft carrier battle group temporarily assigned to the Fifth Fleet is also ready to deter the Middle East.

At this time, Li Mo had completely handed over the negotiations with the Kenyan political axe to the political axe, and he himself devoted all his energy to resolving the unprecedented pressure that Somalia is currently facing.

Somalia is currently facing much less pressure than North Korea and Iran. This has to do with the fact that Somalia is surrounded by no military powers. Moreover, Somalia's geographical location is not as sensitive as Iran and North Korea, and Somalia does not need to deal with other enemies other than the US forces in the Gulf for the time being.

"General Safavid, I have objections to the cooperation plan proposed by your country. If the Iranian government really underestimates the value of silicon-uranium alloys or undervalues our intelligence, I think I should find a more suitable collaborator for it. After listening to Iran's cooperation plan, Li Mo shook his head with a chuckle and said.

In Iran's cooperation plan, the Star Organization is required to use silicon-uranium alloy impermanence in the development of new tanks, and when the new tanks developed with silicon-uranium alloy as armor are produced, Iran will purchase 40 new tanks at cost price before re-signing the purchase agreement of this alloy with the Star Organization according to the actual combat value of silicon-uranium alloy armor. This is tantamount to saying that the Star Organization will take out silicon-uranium alloy armor for free for the development of new tanks, and Iran will be able to use this alloy first at a very low price without paying a penny.

On the surface, it seems that Iran has not taken much advantage, but in fact it has taken advantage of a lot. It is important to know that the cost of silicon-uranium alloy to organize its own production in stars is not very high, and the main cost comes from the uranium-238 added when making the alloy. And the proportion of silicon-uranium alloy uranium element is only one-thirtieth, but even so, the cost of producing one kilogram of silicon-uranium alloy also needs about 5,000 US dollars, according to the current conclusion of the laboratory, based on a current main battle tank, the preliminary calculation is to use about 50 kilograms of silicon-uranium alloy, in order to ensure that the defense capability of the tank after mixing with high-strength armor reaches the current level of the world's advanced tanks. If 100 kg is added, it can be compared to depleted uranium armor with reactive armor.

In this way, even if it is calculated at 100 kilograms, the total value of the high-strength armor and silicon-uranium alloy that the two countries can currently take out for the manufacture of tanks will not exceed the protective armor of the M1A1 tank, which is lighter in weight and has stronger protection capabilities. But this is all based on a premise: the Xingchen organization can produce silicon-uranium alloy on a large-scale assembly line, but because the technical process of producing this alloy is still being studied, the current Camel Mountain base basically relies on the natural characteristics of the Y substance to accumulate like bees making honey, and the value of silicon-uranium alloy has been greatly improved.

As an alloy with excellent surname and can be applied to a variety of special purposes, silicone oil alloy is completely wasteful when used in the armor of tanks, which are in high demand. The same alloy, used in aero engines, perhaps only a few kilograms, will be able to upgrade an ordinary engine to an advanced engine that is difficult to mass-produce in most countries in the world. The value between the two is vastly different.

Before the artificial production process was thoroughly developed, how could Li Mo be in the same way as Iran cooperated? Moreover, Li Mo knows the value of this alloy very well, and it is undoubtedly a revolution for the world metal material field.

Originally, Li Mo planned to take out this alloy and cooperate with Huaxia. But Huaxia is too far away, and Huaxia's strength is stronger than Iran's, Li Mo does not have much confidence in the cooperation between the two sides. Subconsciously, Li Mo was a little resistant to this kind of cooperation with Huaxia. His current identity is different, it is impossible for him to consider the interests of the country in everything like a Chinese citizen, and he is now representing the interests of the Star Organization, and even the interests of Somalia. Cooperating with Huaxia, Li Mo was worried that the other party would play the emotional card on the grounds of compatriots and other reasons, so that he could make compromises in some aspects.

The estrangement and bridging of the relationship with Huaxia several times made him understand one thing. Even if he is now the leader of an organization, controlling a country, in the eyes of Huaxia Political Axe, he is a role that can be used. When the other party needs it, they will play the emotional card and give you something they need, and when they don't need it, or when they become an obstacle to the other party, they will not hesitate to throw you aside or even erase it directly.

Nowadays, the essence of the relationship between the two sides is to use each other. There is no emotion to speak of. This is especially true when it comes to conflicts of interest. Since this is the case, Li Mo naturally will not act as the wronged boss and make sacrifices in vain. As the saying goes, can't I hide if I can't be provoked?

Just like this time, after the exposure of Somalia's strategic missile battalion, China's attitude became delicate again. According to the experts' reports, those Chinese experts in the industrial park of Badada Town seem to have a tendency to return to China. There is no news in China, how can these experts want to return to China for no reason? You must know that these Huaxia experts have always been interested in the fact that the industrial park can make better engine technology than the Huaxia production.

The sudden fierce light in Li Mo's eyes made the heart of Major General Safavi, who was just about to speak, suddenly feel in his heart, not knowing what this young man was going to do.
