Volume II: Chapter 188: Afghanistan
readx;
Afghanistan, the full name of which is the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. The www.biquge.info is a landlocked country located in south-central Asia.
This country with an area of 650,000 square kilometers is located in the heart of the Eurasian continent, which is not only a key point connecting the Eurasian continent and the Middle East, but also a necessary place for major powers to enter and exit from the east to the west. It is adjacent to China, Pakistan and Iran.
The special geographical location did not bring the country the rapid development of Singapore, but because of the important geographical location, it caused the world's major powers to enter one after another.
From the invasion of Afghanistan by the former Soviet Union in 1979 to its withdrawal in 1989. The various factions did not retain their bravery in resisting the Soviet invasion, but instead fell into a civil war for power until 1994, when the Taliban rose up, seized more than 90% of Afghanistan's land area, and completely and firmly ruled the whole of Afghanistan.
The leader of the Taliban regime is Omar, a peasant son from a poor family who was supported by the United States during the anti-Soviet invasion, starting with an army of 800 students to control the whole of Afghanistan and become the leader of Islamic rule in Afghanistan. However, the good times did not last long, as the strategic position of Afghanistan became more and more important, after the Cold War, the United States regarded Afghanistan as one of the three major strategic control areas in order to realize its global strategic plan.
Looking back at history, in 1985, in his book "The Race Plan: A Geostrategic Program for Conducting US-Soviet Competition," US strategic expert Brzezins declared that the strategic interests of the United States were concentrated on three fronts: first, the European front, the focus of the struggle with the Soviet Union was concentrated in Eastern Europe, the most critical countries were Poland and West Germany, and the second was the Far Eastern front. The focus of the struggle was on the Korean Peninsula, while the most critical areas were South Korea, the Philippines, and Taiwan. The third is the Far Western Front, strategically located in Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan.
After the end of the Cold War, in order to achieve global hegemony, the United States counted its main enemies as: the Islamic world, China and Russia.
The September 11 incident gave the United States the most appropriate excuse. In the name of counter-terrorism, launch a global offensive.
To that end, the United States has made the Taliban regime, which it has single-handedly supported but gradually uncontrolled, a terrorist organization that harbors terrorists. Military infiltration operations have been carried out into Afghanistan.
Now, three years have passed. The Taliban regime has collapsed, turning from a legitimate political axe into a guerrilla force. In the world, because of the vigorous propaganda of the United States, it has become an organization that harbors terrorists, and its reputation has been greatly reduced.
Li Mo took He Xiaoqiang and four other members of the Meteor to Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, by direct plane in the northwest. He had agreed with the arms dealer Michael that he would meet in Kabul to discuss the specifics of Michael's huge plan.
What he didn't know was that after Li Mo took the ticket he had booked to Afghanistan. The state security department got the news. Tang Ya and Fan Qingqing reported the news to Lei Zhen as soon as possible, and Lei Zhen reported to his superiors, requesting that the intelligence personnel stationed in Afghanistan be coordinated to give 'attention'. Tang Ya and Fan Qingqing took another flight to Afghanistan.
Before the plane landed, Li Mo looked through the window at the unfamiliar city below. A large river divides Kabul into two urban districts, north and south. From the sky, most of the buildings in the North District are bright and luxurious. Royal palaces and official residences, as well as mosques, glisten in the sun. The southern part of Kabul, on the other hand, is much more dilapidated. One is the aristocratic area, and the other is the slum area.
Out of the airport, Li Mo and his entourage of five took a taxi to the Kabul Hotel.
Half an hour later, two Orientals hurriedly entered the Kabul Hotel and soon came to Li Mo's room. After knocking on the door, a young man opened the door, saw two Orientals outside, a smile crossed his eyes, and turned sideways to signal the two to enter.
When the mouse and the poisonous snake entered the living room, they saw Li Mo sitting on the sofa and smoking. Cautiously and respectfully walked to the boss's side, and said in unison, "Boss, we are here!" ”
Li Mo turned his head to look at the two of them, pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down!" ”
After the two of them sat down, Li Mo continued to ask, "How long have you two been here?" ”
Viper glanced at the rat beside him before replying, "We've been here for three days, and we've already seen Michael." ”
Afghanistan is unlike any other place, and it is similar to Iraq. Terrorist attacks are often carried out. This time, Li Mo came here in person, and the high-level leaders within the Xingchen Organization were a little frightened. After all, here, if you're not careful, you'll get on the road. All kinds of bizarre attacks are overwhelming. So this time for Li Mo's safety. The experts, Shi and the others unanimously decided to let the members of the Meteor Commando team guarding the base come to a detachment, plus the four people brought by Li Mo, a total of 14 super bodyguards who surpassed the world's top special forces guarded it, so that everyone could be a little reassured.
Li Mo didn't know what the two were thinking in their hearts. What he wants to see most now is Michael.
"What about others? Is it here? ”
The mouse understood the boss's thoughts and said, "Michael is in the South District, he said it is inconvenient to meet here, I hope you can go there!" ”
Li Mo has no aversion to letting him go to the Southern District to meet Michael in person. He was now interested in Michael's big plan, and everything else was trivial. There's no need to worry about it. And last time Michael sold a helicopter gunship to the Star Organization, Li Mo understood that Michael's relationship in Afghanistan was not small. If he still blatantly contacts Li Mo, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of the heart and bring unstable factors to the next plan, and Li Mo himself also hopes to achieve this goal in a low-key manner.
Coming to the Southern District, Li Mo felt like he had passed through two different worlds. The prosperity of the northern district and the poverty of the southern district gave Li Moxin a feeling. But he wasn't a good man after all. The good and bad here have nothing to do with him.
The two cars traveled farther and farther, almost to the southern outskirts. Finally, stop in the courtyard of a small dilapidated building.
After getting out of the car, Li Mo glanced at it casually, and there were figures flashing in several places inside and outside the small building. It seems that Michael, the arms dealer, is also worried.
"Boss, he's coming!" The rat standing beside Li Mo saw the two white people coming out of the house, and immediately whispered to Li Mo.
Li Mo turned his head and squinted at Michael. In the eyes of him, an Oriental, there is nothing too special. Presumably, among Westerners, it also belongs to the ordinary and ordinary public appearance. However, Li Mo did not despise this ordinary appearance in the slightest. He's just ordinary. This appearance can give a natural stealth effect.
When the two met for the first time, they were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for decades, and they exchanged a few words of affectionate greetings and even a hug.
After entering the house, Li Mo found that there were two worlds inside and outside this building. From the outside, it looks like a dilapidated small building, but who knows that the interior is very advanced and luxurious. All kinds of electrical appliances are equipped, not to mention, even the furniture is high-end.
This person is still very good at enjoying it! Li Mo thought to himself in his heart.
"Lee, I invited you here this time to complete a huge plan. This plan is dangerous, but after its success, there are also very attractive benefits. Instead of rambling like a diplomat, Michael went straight to the point as soon as he sat down. However, because he met Li Mo for the first time, what he said was still a little subtle.
"You know, Mr. Michael. That's what I'm here for! Li Mo said with a chuckle. If at the beginning, Li Mo still had to come because of the heavy weapons that Ne Wen needed and needed Michael's help, then then Li Mo really became interested in what he called the protection.
As an arms dealer, you must not only keep a low profile and be cautious, but also have a sense of adventure.
Michael smiled with satisfaction, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. For the sake of this huge project, he has recently stopped even the arms business. This is absolutely undesirable for an arms dealer. But Michael also has his ambitions, and if this plan succeeds, it will be much more cost-effective than his painstaking efforts to sell arms everywhere.
"Lee, I don't know what you know about Omar as a person?" Michael asked suddenly.
Isn't Omar the head of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan? Before Li Mo came, he also had a side understanding of Afghanistan and knew the general profile of Omar. The most survitable is undoubtedly al-Qaeda. Osama bin Laden's close comradeship. But now Omar has faded out of the public eye, hiding from the front and behind the scenes. Li Mo knows all about him.
Of course, Li Mo didn't say these popular contents, but shook his head and said, "I don't know much about it? Could it be that this plan has something to do with him? ”
Li Mo asked casually, but he didn't expect Michael to nod at this. This made Li Mo surprised and became more and more puzzled.
"You should know that Omar was ousted by the Americans!" Li Mo said in surprise.
Michael, of course, understood what Li Mo meant, nothing more than that Omar not only had close ties with terrorist organizations, but also had close ties with Comrade bin Laden, the number one enemy of the United States. How could he have contact with Omar.
"Lee, you're thinking too much. Who are we? Arms dealer! Arms dealers have no nationality and no position! At least that's true for us private arms dealers! Michael explained with a smile.
Seeing that Li Mo was silent, Michael opened a box on the coffee table indifferently, took out a cigar from it, and signaled to Li Mo if he needed it.
"Thanks, I can't get used to that!" Li Mo waved his hand and finished speaking, took out a pack of Chinese from his pocket, and took out one and put it on it. He couldn't fully agree with Michael's words. But I can also understand the thinking of people like Michael. They are pursuing the supremacy of money, and with the actions of Michael, it is impossible to pose enough threats to their homeland. As long as the motherland will not be destroyed, other small losses and the like are not in their consideration.
Li Mo thought about it, felt that it was pointless for him to spend his mind on this kind of thing, and asked with a self-deprecating smile, "Mr. Michael, I am very interested in the plan you are talking about, I wonder if I can participate?" ”
