Because of the importance of the next conversation, some of the people in the reception room withdrew. In the end www.biquge.info there were only six people left, all of whom belonged to the core members of both sides, and they were not afraid of leaking secrets at all.

"Well, if you need something very sensitive, I'll have to confirm your identity." Nazirov twisted his neck again, looked at Li Mo with a serious face, and said. Supposedly, Nazirov's question should not be raised, because the underground arms trade is a kind of transaction that is in the shadows, and many buyers and sellers are targeted by state organizations or Interpol in order to prevent the disclosure of their identities.

However, from the analysis of Li Mo's remarks, it can be concluded that this young man from Huaxia seems to be eyeing something unusual. Although this is only his speculation, he believes that this speculation is infinitely close to the truth.

Nazirov's lack of reputation in the international underground arms black market does not mean that he really has no strength. In Ukraine, his network of connections is still very large. But that's why he has to keep a low profile. Because an arms dealer who is frequently in the limelight is bound to attract the attention of other forces, and then investigate the forces behind him. This is something that neither he nor the forces behind him want to see.

Li Mo glanced at Nazirov with half-squinted eyes, and he was sure that the arms dealer had guessed his purpose; But Nazirov did not refuse, but asked where he came from. In other words, the arms dealer was sure that he would get what he needed.

This ill-looking arms dealer has a lot of tricks. Li Mo felt that even if he didn't reach a cooperation this time, he should have a good relationship with this person.

"So, Mr. Nazirov is sure to deliver the goods I need? I'll have to confirm that before I can reveal my identity. Li Mo didn't answer directly, but asked.

Neither of the two of them trusts anyone very much now, and even Li Mo has to be cautious about this kind of high-stakes transaction. Because everybody knows what ballistic missiles are for. If Li Mo's procurement of ballistic missiles is exposed, I am afraid that countries around the world will come to trace the whereabouts and uses of ballistic missiles. Even Huaxia is no exception.

From the perspective of China's national interests, Li Mo will not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons. Even if they knew that Li Mo had the ability to imitate conventional weapons, they could still support Li Mo without care. This is because the threat that conventional weapons can bring to China is too small to compare with the benefits it can bring to China. But nuclear weapons are different. Nuclear weapons are something that can pose a lethal threat to anyone, any force. All the countries and forces that have it are eager for others not to have their own. There is simply no way to sit idly by and watch other powers acquire nuclear weapons.

"Well, I'll admit it. If you don't need the best ones, I can find a way to get them for you. But you have to confirm your identity first. Let's believe that you get these things and it won't be a disservice to us! As soon as Nazirov's words came out, it became clear that he was not an underground arms dealer. It seems to be more like the spokesperson of a certain force.

Li Mo's brows furrowed slightly, and he also noticed this. The reason why he is here is to prevent the attention of people with intentions. Otherwise, he would have bought the Daepodong I directly on the exchange. If Nazirov is really the spokesman of the Ukrainian military clique, after learning his identity, the Ukrainian military will surely know it too. Although Somalia and Ukraine are far apart, there is no conflict of interest between the two sides. But Li Mo didn't dare to guarantee that those military figures would not reveal the news.

But in order to obtain ballistic missiles, Li Mo also had to reveal his origins. Compared to the process of purchasing on the exchange, trading here is more hidden.

"Mr. Nazirov, after I tell where I came from, can you guarantee that this secret will not be known to a third person? You should know that the disaster caused by this news will be beyond my reach. Li Mo asked after a long silence.

A smile appeared on Nazirov's face and said, "Mr. Li, don't worry. The credibility of arms dealers is beyond doubt. And we don't want to expose ourselves either. ”

Li Mo nodded, this is not bad. If they are exposed, Nazirov and they will have to come out in the dark. Thinking about it, the forces behind him did not dare to expose it openly in the eyes of the public. Otherwise, Nazirov would not have been allowed to come to Zimzibar to become an underground arms dealer.

"We are from Somalia!" Li Mo thought about it and reported his origin.

Nazirov, who was ready, stood up in surprise when he heard Somalia and shouted, "Impossible! You're lying! ”

Another person would have reacted in the same way as Nazirov. No one would believe that a newly unified Somalia would need a high-tech weapon like ballistic missiles. The country that treats rifles as treasures, a useful place for ballistic missiles?

Li Mo's reaction to him was not surprising, and he said helplessly, "This is the truth!" We are from Somalia. I told you before that I am a Somalis! ”

Nazirov looked at the expressions of Li Mo and the others for a long time before sitting down hesitantly. He was still unsure whether Li Mo's words were true or not. But judging by the looks of several people, it doesn't look like a lie. Nazirov felt that he still had eyesight. Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen anything unusual. Unless the other party's ability to lie reaches the pinnacle.

"In that case, what you need are surface-to-surface missiles? What about Scuds? It is currently known as a tactical ballistic missile in the world. Its maximum firing range is 300 km. Enough for a general conventional war. In the Iran-Iraq war, the war in Afghanistan and the war in southern Yemen more than a decade ago, Scuds all showed their surname. It is the most combat-oriented ballistic missile in the world today. "Nazirov knew that what Li Mo needed was a ballistic missile, but he knew that he wouldn't need a big guy like an ICBM. That would be useless for Somalia.

Scuds, although in the Russian and Ukrainian armies, have long been decommissioned. But there are still many countries in the world that are equipping. And most countries have modernized it. or increase the range, or increase the difficulty of its interception, etc. Nazirov, naturally, knew that this missile, which was attractive enough for the general country. It is also a short-range missile that is very suitable for developing countries.

"Scuds are very cheap, $200,000 a piece. Although it is a little more expensive than the export price of the former Soviet Union, the scud in my hand is a recently improved Scud D. Moreover, the price of weapons on the black market is already more expensive than the price of arms transactions between countries. Seeing that Li Mo did not speak, Nazirov thought that he was hesitating, and immediately reverted to the true character of an arms dealer, and tried his best to sell weapons.

Li Mo was really speechless. He didn't expect that after a long time, Nazirov recommended himself to buy Scud. You must know that he purchased ballistic missiles to carry nuclear warheads. Not to strike at enemy positions and military facilities. Although the Scud can also be loaded with nuclear warheads, they are mostly small tactical nuclear warheads, that is, small warheads with a yield of tens of thousands of tons. Li Mo didn't have that thing in his hand at all now. Except for one nuclear warhead with a yield of 3 million tons, most of the other warheads recovered from the nuclear weapons base have a yield of 500,000 tons and 1 million tons. A nuclear warhead of this yield is used to strike targets within three hundred kilometers? Isn't that a manufacturing quarantine?

What he needs is an intermediate-range ballistic missile with at least 500,000 yield nuclear warheads, enough to pose a lethal threat to US military bases in Djibouti, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. As for the ICBMs that hit the continental United States, Li Mo didn't want to think about it. He can't get an ICBM now.

"Mr. Nazirov, I think you misunderstood me. I need not a Scud, but an SS-14 'scapegoat'. If you don't have SS-14, SS-4/5 will do too. That is, what I need is a medium-range ballistic missile, not a short-range ballistic missile. Li Mo was finally impatient by Nazirov's chatter, waved his hand to interrupt his pitch, and said directly.

“ss-14…… RT-15, oh my God, Mr. Lee, what the hell are you going to do with it? Nazirov read a sentence in silence and learned that the so-called SS-14 is the NATO code name for the RT-15 medium-range ballistic missile. couldn't help but exclaim with wide eyes. The data of the missile immediately came to his mind: 10.6 meters long, 1.4 meters in diameter, 4,000 kilometers in maximum range, and 28 tons in take-off weight. In the end, it was 'a nuclear warhead capable of carrying a yield of 500,000 tons'. And Nazirov's look of horror was brought about by this sentence.

The only role of such an intermediate-range ballistic missile is to mount a nuclear warhead on standby on a silo or launch vehicle. Instead of flying thousands of kilometers with a few hundred kilograms of high explosives to strike at a certain enemy building.

However, Nazirov was surprised for a moment, and then regained his composure. Nuclear warheads are not a mysterious weapon in the world today. Nor is it the ultimate weapon of mass destruction that only a few countries have mastered. As far as he knows, some of the thousands of nuclear warheads that Ukraine once inherited from the former Soviet Union have 'disappeared'. And not all destroyed, as known to the outside world, with the help of the United States and Russia. At the beginning of the great disarmament of Ukraine, countless weapons and equipment were nominally destroyed, but in fact they were taken away by the black hands that stretched out the rules. Even the forces behind him are one of them. Otherwise, where would he have so many advanced weapons to sell?

But Li Mo, a young man who claimed to be from Somalia, also had a nuclear warhead in his hand, which made Nazirov more interested in him. The recent developments in Somalia have been quite noisy. Zimkibar is located just across the Gulf of Aden from Somalia. He certainly knows a lot of the inside story. Arms dealers were originally 'interested' in a war that took place anywhere in the world.

"Mr. Li, I don't have any of these missiles you mentioned. But ......"
