After Colonel Ding Huiqiang, military attache of the Chinese Embassy in Somalia, came to this familiar villa again, he saw from afar a man in simple clothes, carrying one on his shoulders and playing happily with one in his hand, under the shade of the trees in the garden of the villa. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Smiled secretly, even if Li Mo was outside, he was the leader of tens of thousands of modern troops, and he was also a well-known late-stage hawk figure in the world, and when he returned home, he was just like an ordinary person, an ordinary father!

"Ouch, you kid dare to pinch Lao Tzu's ears...... Li Mo put down his son on his shoulder with his backhand, and was about to show the majesty of the head of the family and teach his son a lesson, when he saw Ding Huiqiang, who was walking over under the guidance of Xiaoliu, and quickly stopped his mouth.

Liu Qingyue and Li Yanran, who were chatting under the tree not far away, immediately trotted over, picked up the child and walked aside.

At this time, Li Moke is going to talk about business!

"Military Attache Ding is here! Sit! Li Mo asked people to bring two chairs and receive Ding Huiqiang in this garden.

Ding Huiqiang nodded with a smile and said, "Seeing the scene just now, anyone will drop their jaws in shock, and the dignified Commander Li is just like an ordinary person at home." ”

Li Mohaha smiled, shook his head slightly and sighed, "I was originally an ordinary person, but I have a little more luck and courage than ordinary people." ”

"Okay, let's not go to Wen Crepe, what are you doing this time in person?"

Under the shade of the trees, the breeze blows. A small table, two chairs, a plate of fruit. People who don't know still think it's the idyllic life under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums, but they don't know that the two do represent the secret talks of the two countries.

"This time I came to do the turmoil on the border between Ethiopia and Somalia." Ding Huiqiang was not hypocritical, and said directly.

Li Mo showed a really such look when he heard this, and his face became solemn and said, "I don't know what it means in China? ”

Li Mo did not ask Huaxia how he planned to support Somalia in this border turmoil, but directly asked Huaxia's attitude. The two seem to be the same, but in fact they mean completely different things. The former is that China is definitely on the side of Somalia, and the latter is that China's attitude is not clear. Li Mo is also unsure of Huaxia's attitude now.

Although the relationship between him and Huaxia has returned to normal and the two sides are strengthening cooperation, the relationship between countries is not something that can be decided by three or two cooperation or 'friendship'. In the current international situation, which is changing dramatically, except for the general direction of the national strategy, other specific foreign policies will change as the situation changes.

Li Mo's attitude towards Huaxia in this matter is bottomless, not without reason. Because the relationship between China and Ethiopia is still very good, and the most important thing is that China has just completed the re-election, and the new leaders are now sorting out domestic relations, and in terms of diplomacy, they basically have a conservative attitude, and they will not easily squeeze into the diplomatic turmoil.

Ding Huiqiang also had to give a thumbs up when he heard Li Mo's inquiry, and said with a smile, "You are really powerful, knowing that I am actually a lobbyist this time." ”

Then Ding Huiqiang took out a document from his briefcase and solemnly handed it to Li Mo.

Looking at the steel seal with 'top secret' printed on the document bag, Li Mo's expression couldn't help but be solemn, and after opening and reading the documents inside, Li Mo frowned slightly.

This is nothing else, but a piece of information about the turmoil on the border with Esso. Li Mo deduced that Huaxia's intelligence department had obtained the inside story of Ethiopia's provocation on the border, and some of the information was even more detailed and precise than that provided by Wang Ning's intelligence department.

For example, in the intelligence of China, there is a piece of information about the French political family Castel family, pointing out that the French political axe is not completely involved in the border turmoil in Ethiopia this time, but because the Castel family has influenced the top level of Ethiopian political axe through its own relationship, the specific content is not in the report, but the intelligence speculates that it should be related to economic aid, and the Castel family has a greater influence in the French political axe, and has a certain right to speak in foreign economic aid.

In this information, there is no mention of Ben and the United States, but another country, Saudi Arabia.

Li Mo's real suspicion is here, he doesn't understand why Saudi Arabia is involved in the affairs against Somalia, Li Mo has never offended Saudi Arabia.

However, there are only a few pieces of information about Saudi Arabia in the intelligence, which cannot provide Li Mo with an important basis for analysis.

"What's going on with this Saudi Arabia?" Li Mo had to ask. If there is no newspaper on it, it does not mean that Huaxia is not clear, maybe it is because of taboos, or maybe it is just waiting for Li Mo to speak.

Ding Huiqiang looked around, as if he was alert to something, and then smiled, feeling that he was making a big fuss, this is Li Mo's home, and the agents who can lurk and monitor here have not yet appeared.

"Oil!"

In just two words, many mysteries have been explained.

Li Mo's mind was spinning quickly, and he soon understood the reason why Saudi Arabia was behind the scenes, that is, the price of oil.

Because of the emergence of the third OECD, the international crude oil price has risen slightly, which is extremely beneficial to all net oil exporters in the world.

Saudi Arabia, as one of the founding members of OPEC, has the responsibility to maintain international oil prices, and when international oil prices rise 'harmfully', OPEC members should increase oil production and stabilize oil prices. Once international oil prices fell, OPEC reduced petroleum products in a timely manner.

OPEC currently has 12 members: Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Libya, Nigeria, Algeria, Venezuela, Angola, Qatar and Ecuador, as well as the withdrawing members: Indonesia and Gabon.

OPEC was originally established to ensure the interests of net oil producers. And by controlling oil production and oil prices, it will resist the oil exploitation and plundering of Western countries. It can be said that, in essence, OPEC members all possess an important weapon - oil.

In addition to protecting oneself and killing enemies, weapons can also be used to maintain world peace. Of course, it is difficult to say whether there are really weapons for a second purpose in the world.

The nature of OPEC member countries is the same, what to protect the interests of oil-consuming countries is all fake, the interests of the country are paramount, and no one can really use cheap oil for the countries and people of the world, and reduce oil prices in the same situation.

You must know that oil resources are limited, and the economic pillar of these oil member countries is oil, once the oil resources are exhausted, how to develop these countries will become a problem, and under the premise of the existence of this 'end to the future', what OPEC members have to do is to seek more benefits through oil. Both political and economic interests are valued and needed by these countries.

OPEC is not really kind to maintain a small increase in the country's oil prices, but needs to seek other benefits for itself by maintaining stable oil prices.

Saudi Arabia is a veteran of OPEC, and it owns 22% of the world's oil reserves, making it the country with the largest oil reserves in the world, even exceeding the sum of the second and third countries in terms of oil reserves. In OPEC, Saudi Arabia has a very large voice, because it also has the support of the United States behind it, and has played an 'important role' in maintaining international oil prices every time.

But does the Saudi government really not want international oil prices to rise sharply? A crazy rise is certainly undesirable, because then there is only one result: war!

At present, the average international oil price is 80 US dollars per barrel, which is not an ideal price for many net oil exports, and does not meet the current world demand for oil resources.

$100 per barrel may be a good number, but Saudi Arabia itself cannot take the initiative to raise oil prices or reduce production, because Saudi Arabia cannot afford the political pressure that this will bring.

How to get out of the country and make the international oil price rise to a figure that will not cause war has become the focus of research and analysis of Saudi oil princes and aristocrats.

The confrontation between the Third OECD and Europe and the United States has reached the limit of 6% of the increase in oil prices, that is to say, unless the Third OECD has a direct large-scale military conflict with the United States, the potential of the confrontation between the two sides to promote international oil prices has been exhausted, and others are not fools, and no one will be willing to take the initiative to raise oil prices if oil production has not decreased.

Saudi Arabia is secretly fueling Ethiopia this time, and its purpose is obvious, triggering conflicts and even wars in East Africa.

Ethiopia and Somalia both have oil resources, which are almost negligible in the international oil trade, but the two countries are located close to the Middle East, and the impact of a war between the two countries on international oil prices must be very large.

And no one can ignore that behind Somalia stands the Third OECD, Iran and Libya are OPEC members, Angola and Somalia are also important partners, and Venezuela is also said to be seeking to join the Third OECD.

With the mixing of these countries, the border conflict in Ethiopia is still a war, which must have a great impact on international oil prices. Why not count more bills than ever before while hiding at home?

Saudi Arabia exports 20 million to 30 million barrels of oil a day, and for every dollar of oil price increase, Saudi Arabia earns an additional $20 million or 30 million a day. The huge interests are worth the risk of Saudi Arabia, and besides, the war between two countries that are not OPEC members and net oil exporters will have a limited impact on international oil prices.

As long as it is fueled at the beginning, it can bring hundreds of millions of dollars or more to Saudi Arabia, prompting Saudi Arabia to take risks.

Moreover, this time some small actions behind the scenes will not arouse the dissatisfaction of Western countries. Everyone knows that Somalia is anti-American, and the United States hopes that someone will teach Somalia a lesson when they can't spare their hands.

The Saudi oil dealers can be said to have exhausted the organs.
