readx;
The next day, the deputy commander-in-chief of the General Command of the Syrian Armed Forces, Taris, again held a secret meeting with Lemo. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe meeting took place at Li Mo's residence, and there was no third person except for the two.
The content of this meeting began to involve the content of 'substantive surnames'. Taris put forward the idea of a desire to procure long-range missiles from Somalia to strengthen Syria's long-range strike capabilities.
It was only at this time that Li Mo suddenly realized that some of the words that President Bashar did not say yesterday should have something to do with this incident.
Within the Third OECD, in addition to Libya, North Korea has the strongest long-range strike capability (missiles), followed by Iran, followed by Somalia, and Syria has the strongest mechanized forces, with up to 4,600 tanks, of which more than 1,000 are T-72 tanks. However, the long-range strike capability is the weakest, and Syria has not yet had a missile that can strike a thousand kilometers away.
Somalia's missiles began to come from Iran, that is, the later development of the Firmament 1 missile, with a range of 1,800 kilometers, and later after absorbing the missile technology of China and Ukraine, the Firmament 11 missile with a range of 3,500 kilometers was developed.
Why did Syria choose to procure missiles in Somalia? Because Somalia is different from the other two countries, Somalia has Li Mo and Xingchen Group. Many people can see that Li Mo actually has a very 'enlightened' attitude towards arms sales, unlike most other countries' arms purchases, where political factors occupy a large part. Purchasing from Li Mo, unless it is the kind of country that is directly opposed, as long as you give money, there is nothing that you can't sell.
Tharis first expressed his desire to purchase Firmament-11 missiles, as a country bordering the Mediterranean, once Syria has Firmament-11 missiles, the whole of Europe will be within her strike range, not to mention Israel. At that time, Syria's external deterrence capability will be further enhanced, which can effectively enhance Syria's 'influence' in the Middle East.
However, Li Mo thought about it and refused, because the Sky 11 missile is not much equipped in Somalia. Second, the pressure on the sale of such long-range missiles is also greater. And Somalia has no precedent for selling Sky 11 to the outside world.
So Li Mo proposed that the Firmament 1 missiles could be sold to Syria, because Libya had previously secretly purchased 8 Firmament 1 missiles from Somalia. It's just that because the transaction is extremely secretive, the outside world hardly gets any information.
Tharis didn't expect Li Mo to agree, although it was not the expected Sky 11, but Sky 1 was enough for the current Syria. Doubled the striking distance in Syria. And with the precedent of this cooperation, will the next purchase of Sky 11 be far away?
Subsequently, the two sides again reached an agreement on the purchase of "Sparrow" helicopters, and Syria will purchase 12 "Sparrow-A" helicopters from Somalia. Because of the old adversary 'Israel'. In addition to the Air Force, the most powerful is the 'Mevaca' tank.
One is a tank that puts protection in the first place, and the other is a helicopter gunship that puts protection in the first place. In the end, who will win and who will lose in the conflict, Li Mo is also very much looking forward to it.
After the end of his visit to Syria, Li Mo was still quite happy in his heart. Although there are no orders of more than $1 billion in Syria as in Iran, there are orders of $300 million. Li Mo even felt that if he could get so many orders by visiting abroad, would he be running all over the world in the future?
However, he also knew that it was impossible, and that there were many reasons for this arms sale. First, it is also a political need, and secondly, because of the recent instability in the region, some countries have begun to make corresponding preparations.
Sitting on the special plane to Tripoli, the capital of Libya, the little girl was biting her ears with Fan Qingqing. However, from the shyness she occasionally glanced at Li Mo, she knew that if the two women got together to chat, it must involve the privacy of the boudoir.
In Tripoli, the reception staff sent by Libya were also acquaintances. Headed by the Libyan General Defense Council, Commander of the Revolutionary Guard, Ali? Abdullah? Colonel Monzir, and Libya's most respected second son, Saf? Arab? Gaddafi and his sixth son, Hamis? Gaddafi, etc.
Although Gaddafi himself did not come, all of them were his cronies and relatives, which shows the importance attached to Li Mo's visit.
At his estate on the outskirts of Tripoli, Li Mo first had a brief meeting with Commander Montzill. Then the other party left first, while Gaddafi's second son, Saif, stayed.
"Commander Li, is there anything you are not satisfied with about the arrangement of your accommodation? My father made a point to say hello, if you need anything, you're welcome, just let me know. Saif is more than ten years older than Li Mo, but in front of Li Mo, his attitude is very polite and modest, even like a junior.
Li Mo looked at the 'future successor' who was most valued by Gaddafi with a smile, shook his head slightly, and said, "Thank you Mr. Gaddafi for your kindness, but the arrangement here is very good, and I am very satisfied." ”
This is Gaddafi's private estate, and it is impossible to entertain foreign guests in normal times, but now arranging Li Mo here is tantamount to a very good show. If Li Mo is still not satisfied, he will kick his nose in the face. What's more, Li Mo really doesn't care much about enjoying anything, and this is not Somalia, if you want to enjoy it, you can go back to Somalia to enjoy.
Saif is just talking, what he needs is a reason to open a conversation with Li Mo.
"Commander Li, my father is in a meeting to discuss some issues in the eastern region, and I'm afraid he won't be able to receive you for the time being, so don't mind. In the evening my father has prepared a dinner party, and I will come and pick you up myself. Seeing that Li Mo didn't seem to have the desire to speak, Saif stopped the words in his stomach, and said some painless words before leaving.
"Giggles, brother-in-law, that guy is so funny. It's obvious that there is something, but in the end, I invite you to dinner...... Cluck. The little girl was still a little tired, but when she saw Saif 's appearance, she suddenly returned to her body, afraid of smiling on Li Mo's shoulder.
"Don't talk nonsense." Li Mo turned his head sideways and glared, although he was not worried that the other party would hear it, it was not good to discuss others behind his back.
The little girl stopped doing it, and snorted with a pout, "When you were in Syria, didn't you also talk about others behind your back?" Gods may do what cattle may not. ”
Li Mo couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and he didn't bother to argue, his face suddenly turned straight and said, "Tingting, the situation here is unstable, don't go out casually." When the time comes, someone will tie you up, and I won't be able to explain it to your sister. ”
When she was in Damascus, this girl secretly ran out when Li Mo and Tharis had a secret meeting, almost making Fan Qingqing die in a hurry. Later, with the help of the Syrian police, the lost girl was found. Although there was no news from the outside world, Li Mo was worried and scared for a long time afterwards.
The security environment in Damascus is much better than on this side. Libya's internal contradictions are now in a state to be provoked, and according to intelligence from the Ministry of Intelligence, there is a high probability that Libya will find a civil war.
So Li Mo took the precautionary shot again, otherwise there would really be an accident, Li Yanran didn't say anything about it, even Li Mo himself, and he regretted that he had nowhere to go.
Li Yuting stuck out her tongue and muttered, "Isn't that why you don't go shopping with me." ”
Fan Qingqing, who had just come out of the shower, also shook his head secretly when he heard this.
That evening, at the presidential palace, Li Mo once again had an Islamic-style dinner with the Gaddafi family.
After dinner, Fan Qingqing and Li Yuting were pulled aside by Gaddafi's wife and daughter. In a small living room, several men sat together.
Except for Li Mo, who is an outsider, the others are all Gaddafi's family. So the conversation at the beginning was a little unnatural, and when Gaddafi found out about this, he motioned for a few 'unimportant' sons to go out. Only the second son Saif and Liu's son Khamis remained. These two people know Li Mo, and they are also relatively capable.
"Lee, first of all, congratulations on your great gains in both Iran and Syria." Gaddafi smiled and said that every country is staring at Li Mo's visit abroad. News always comes out, such as arms procurement cooperation reached by several countries.
Speaking of which, Gaddafi also has to admire Li Mo for his accurate timing. If it weren't for this time, at a time when the 'color revolution' swept through the Arab region of the Middle East, it would not be so easy to win these two orders. After all, there are many arms companies that have more advantages than Xingchen Group.
However, the arms business is also somewhat similar to ordinary business, and the more you need it, the more people will open their mouths. Li Mo's arms sales will not have other political requirements, and the products have also been tested in practical use by several countries. Others will naturally save some trouble at this time and facilitate the conclusion of arms sales.
Some time ago in Somalia, Gaddafi and Li Mo had just reached a private agreement on the development and use of civilian nuclear technology. For Gaddafi, civilian nuclear energy is not an urgent need, what he needs is for Libyan scientists to master more and more complete 'nuclear technology' in cooperation, so Gaddafi needs to invest in cooperation, that is, to contribute money. What Li Mo needs is the extension and improvement of nuclear technology research, as well as the upgrading. But there is a lack of funds, so he and Gaddafi hit it off, and the two sides are cooperating in 'civil nuclear technology' in order to achieve their own goals.
Think about the nearly $10 billion that will be invested in this cooperation. Gaddafi is very heartbroken, this is the money that the Gaddafi family has earned from decades of control of the Libyan economy. But as soon as he thought of the current situation in Libya, he gritted his teeth and decided. After all, money can be earned back, and such opportunities are not always available.
"Business is all about win-win. Everyone, if you like me, it will naturally be easy to achieve. Li Mo said very modestly.
