"Sister Qian, this is Mogadishu?" Looking at the people in and out of the airport dressed differently, Dong Xiang raised his mouth and asked in surprise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In her impression, Africa should be full of unclothed and shirtless black people, dry, thin, and carpeted, and it is normal to brag and fart together. But in this airport, at a glance, there are foreigners dressed in fits, and if it weren't for the security guards with batons on the edge of the airport patrolling back and forth, she would have thought that this was some regional airport in the United States.

Li Qian herself has never been to Mogadishu herself, and of course she doesn't know much about the situation here, but basically Ding Susu told her some interesting facts about Mogadishu or Africa.

"Miss Dong, you don't know this, in Somalia, the security environment is not inferior to the United States, or even stronger!" Michael, who had been following closely behind, immediately stepped forward to explain with a salivating face, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Li Qian's pretty face with a fiery look out of the corner of his eyes, which made people laugh!

"Better than the United States?" Dong Xiang said with some skepticism. She has been in the United States for a long time, although she spends most of her time in Manhattan, New York, but she has also occasionally visited other places, and she has hardly encountered anything dangerous, which is completely different from her impression that the United States is full of gangs, vendettas and crime. Therefore, she believes that the security environment in the United States is very good, but now some people say that the security environment in Africa, a country that has always been famous for war, is better than the United States, and the first reaction in her mind is not to believe it.

Ding Susu couldn't stand it anymore, and if he allowed a few people to argue on this issue, he was afraid that it would not be dark before it could end. Immediately interjected with a smile and explained, "There are not only police and some security guards who are responsible for security here, but also the military!" ”

The reason is explained in one sentence, and in most people's minds, the military is definitely more capable than the police, for example, if a certain matter is handed over to the police, there are still people who are skeptical about the way and the result, but if it is handed over to the army, the vast majority of people will agree with the result. It's not a reason why the army is God, it's a deep-seated mindset.

"Alright, let's go. Susu, did my brother send someone to pick it up? Li Qian looked around and frowned slightly. The weather here is heaven and earth compared to the winter weather in the United States. In the U.S., they still wear warm jackets, but here they only wear a shirt or T-shirt. The temperature is so high that it is difficult to adapt for a while.

Ding Susu nodded, and the other four members of the women's detachment escorted a few people out of the airport hall.

"Captain Ding!" As soon as they left the airport, everyone saw a row of green jeeps outside the airport, and a young Oriental man in the led jeep waved to everyone and jumped down.

"Sister Qian, who is your brother?" Sitting in the heavily guarded armed jeep, Dong Xiang pulled Li Qian's sleeve and asked cautiously. Everything here strikes her incredible. I thought that Li Qian's younger brother would send a car to pick them up, but I didn't expect to send four military jeeps. The gun-wielding soldiers sitting on the top of the two cars just now and the cold machine guns on the roofs of the front and rear cars undoubtedly told her that Li Qian's younger brother was very powerful here.

Li Qian held Dong Xiang's little hand with her backhand, and even found that Dong Xiang's little palm was a little wet, so she knew that the little girl was nervous.

With a chuckle, he said, "My brother has opened a company here, and he has something to do with the military here!" In fact, that's all she knows about her brother. Partisan forces like the Paramingchu Army are not clear, and it is not clear that my brother is now the first person behind the scenes in Somalia! I only know that my brother has a lot to do here.

The four jeeps passed through Mogadishu without stopping, and drove along the road to Kismayo, but fortunately, the one in which the women were riding was Michael's Humvee, which had everything modified and was not afraid of the uncomfortable sun on the road.

……

"Somalia is now weak in its navy and air force, and it should be equipped with medium and long-range counterattack capabilities." The Iranian envoy said with a light smile at Li Mo's sharp gaze. It speaks in the same tone as if he is not an Iranian, but a senior military adviser to Somalia.

Medium and long-range counterattack capabilities? In addition to the Navy and Air Force, there are missiles left! What exactly do the words of the Iranian envoy mean? To cooperate on missiles? But how can we work together? Sell missiles? Joint research and development of new missiles? Li Mo took out his cigarette and lit it, frowning and pondering.

"President Ahmadi stands ready to assist your country in this regard." The Iranian envoy continued, "China's medium- and long-range missiles are also first-class in the world, and your country's ability to develop infantry fighting vehicles must have deep technical strength in armored vehicles and engines, and our two sides can complement each other's weaknesses and learn from each other's strengths and carry out close and friendly cooperation!" ”

Li Mo's heart sank, and the words of the Iranian envoy undoubtedly reminded him. The Star Organization has now entered the attention of many countries and has conducted in-depth research. The Lion King 2 infantry fighting vehicle is the first-class among wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, and it is much more advanced than the Lion King 1 combat vehicle. Xingchen Group can provide hundreds of vehicles from three countries and equip part of the Somali Defense Forces in just half a year. Since the return of the Comet Group, the parts of the Lion King 2 infantry fighting vehicle have become more and more localized, and fewer and fewer are purchased from abroad or the international black market. For a country that is almost completely industrially blank, being able to localize 80% of a more advanced infantry fighting vehicle speaks volumes.

As a military power in the Middle East, Iran's armed forces are unquestionable. But the weapons and equipment it is equipped with are complicated. Land armor forces are mainly from Russia and Great Britain. The air weapons mainly come from France, Russia, and the United States, while the navy is mainly Russian and self-produced, and the missiles are mostly imitated.

The outcome of Iraq and the pressure exerted by the United States have made Iran desperately need to solve the problem of domesticating important weapons. Otherwise, once the war starts, the maintenance of these weapons and equipment from different countries will become a fatal problem. It can even reduce Iran from a head-on decisive battle to the point of fighting a guerrilla war!

When buying advanced weapons, it is easy for people to break their necks, and their own research and development strength is insufficient. Iran has set its sights on second- and third-rate countries with certain R&D capabilities. And Somalia was able to develop and produce an advanced combat vehicle in such a short period of time, and its strength is there. Of course, the Iranian side also suspects that Somalia is receiving technical support from China. But so what? Iran also hopes that it can also get the support of relevant Chinese technology in cooperation.

Li Mo is now thinking about whether to cooperate or not, and the core of the organization's current development is to focus on various light portable weapons, such as XC-H1 rocket launchers, small-caliber rifles, etc., which is currently the main direction of the organization's development. Will the abrupt cooperation with Iran in the development of armored weapons cause a lag in other areas?

But there is no doubt that Mr. Limo was tempted by Iran's proposed cooperation. He even felt that Iran seemed to have the ability to predict, and every time he put forward a proposal for cooperation, it was knocked on Li Mo's heart, which made people itch.

"I wonder if your country has any specific proposals for cooperation?" Li Mo's thoughts in his heart were unknown for the time being, but he asked quietly on the surface.

"Tanks! I think we need an advanced third-generation tank, an advanced main battle tank like the Leopard 2, T-90, M1! The Iranian envoy replied without hesitation, and even a fiery glint could be seen in his eyes.

Iran is currently equipped with mainly T-72 modifications and Chieftain tanks, which are sufficient to meet national security and military needs relative to regional military powers. But Iran's geographical location dictates that it must have a more advanced tank. Because her enemies will not be those countries that are armed with the T-54/55, but the US and Israeli armies armed with the M1 and Merkava. There is a certain gap between the surname and the surname.

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, and looked at the Iranian envoy's unadulterated gaze until he confirmed that the person in front of him was not a madman, and then he touched his cheek to confirm whether he was having an audio-visual hallucination.

"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, do we have that strength?" After a long time, Li Mo couldn't help but ask. Can fight against M1, Merkava tanks? It is not something that can be assembled and produced by ordering parts from the international arms black market and private enterprises. These weapons may be able to be used for reference in design ideas, and perhaps some parts can be 'borrowed', but what about armor materials? What about the fire control system? Combat data chain, etc., even if it is imitated without strength, it is a crooked product!

"Boss Li, how do you know if you don't try? Aren't all weapons and equipment successfully developed in experiments one after another? And Boss Li should not underestimate our strength! The Iranian envoy smiled firmly, with a strong confidence in his tone.

This self-confidence really affected Li Mo and gave Li Mo a boost of confidence. Yes, how do you know if you haven't tried it? As an arms company whose purpose is to develop weapons and equipment, how can it gain a foothold in the international arms community if it retreats when faced with a challenge? If it only relies on the technology that others have long used or even discarded to develop equipment, how can the Star Organization stand out in the fiercely competitive arms world?

At this moment, Li Mo made up his mind to give it a try no matter what. With the capabilities of the comet group, coupled with Iran's technological strength, it may be possible to actually study the results.

"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, then we will agree on a time for the technical experts of both sides to make a demonstration together?" With a decision in his heart, Li Mo also relaxed and smiled at the Iranian envoy.

Iran's envoy was overjoyed, and secretly said that the main task this time was completed, and hurriedly nodded, "Okay, this matter should be sooner rather than later, and I will give you news as soon as possible after I report back!" ”

As soon as this incident was settled, the conversation between the two became relaxed, and the content of the chat also turned to the world's major military and political events. Before the envoy left, he hesitantly mentioned the matter of Adam to Li Mo, and apologized to Li Mo for this matter, hoping that Li Mo would not cause a misunderstanding. And said that Adamu will fully cooperate with the work in the future!

Seeing the Iranian envoy's car disappear at the end of the traffic, Li Mo remembered that there was another important matter today, and immediately called the fox to prepare the car.
