Chapter 192: Shopping Cart!

Early in the morning, Hargeisa is very lively.

It is surrounded by a distribution center and trading center for the livestock products of the Isak and Issa.

The air was filled with the smell of sheep dung and cow dung.

But it was last night that was just as lively.

Joe. Darrow was killed, including several powerful chiefs, which made the Southern Alliance's forces treacherous, and Hassan was certainly not happy to be torn apart, so he began to deploy troops in the middle of the night to contain all the forces of several people under his name, but only Joe. The bones left behind by Darrow are more difficult to gnaw.

When the news of the old man's death returns to Kismayo.

This rebellion is particularly motivating.

Fierce clashes broke out between the two sides, with scuffles and street fighting, resulting in at least 100 casualties, including Hassan's own brother!

As soon as Tang Dao got up, he was invited to Hassan's office, the latter seemed to have not rested for a day, his eyes were full of crimson, after staying up all night, his facial muscles were also shaking meaninglessly, and when he saw Tang Dao, this opening was full of phlegm familiar to smokers, "I want you to help me break Kismayo!" ”

Shit, waste.

Do you really think Lao Tzu is a god?

Kismayo, a port city in southern Somalia, is the country's third-largest city, located at the mouth of the Juba River, 528 kilometers southwest of Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. The climate is hot all year round, and the main inhabitants are the Sab ethnic group.

Kismayo is located on the Indian Ocean, near the mouth of the Juba River. The city was founded in 1872 and the southern part of the city is a commercial center and an important banana market. There are modern slaughterhouses and small industries such as larger meat and fish canneries and tanning.

In 1968, the expansion of the deep-water port was completed, and it was possible to berth ships. It mainly exports bananas, but also livestock, leather, canned food, etc. There is a road to Mogadishu and there is an air station.

This is blessed with a unique geographical location, and the Somali Guard, a pirate active in the Indian Ocean, is also rumored to be related to Joe. Darrow related.

Therefore, as soon as he falls, of course, the internal forces will have to fight for power, and the most important thing is not to let Hassan in, so that everyone, including the British, will have less and less cake.

Kismayo is arguably one of the most complex cities in Somalia at the moment.

Tang Dao doesn't want to be a-stirring stick yet.

He stretched out his hand, signaled the little angel not to follow him so closely, walked over, saw the cigarette on the table, knocked it out very unceremoniously, put it in his mouth, picked up the lighter, poof, the gear turned, the flame burst out, and lit.

"Well, it tastes good." Tang Dao tilted his head and said, propping up the table with his left hand, the cigarette ash pointed to the ground, and looked at Hassan, "Actually, I think General, you don't need Kismayo at all, you should give it up." ”

Hassan was stunned, thinking that he had misheard, and asked Tang Dao, "You say... Abandon Kismayo? ”

"Yes! Let me tell you about it. ”

"First of all, this city is too close to Mogadishu, and as far as I know about Aideed's intelligence, his confident artillery can attack dozens of kilometers away at the longest distance!" Even if the general takes it down, he can't prevent it! Also, there are too many other forces in Kismayo, are you willing to clash with them head-on now? ”

What kind of audacity does Hassan have, doesn't he know yet?

Just do some dirty things secretly, if you let him fight in a bright and bright way, and it's with the British.

Compared to Aideed, one is afraid of everything, and the other is not afraid of anything.

Sure enough, listening to Tang Dao's analysis, Hassan felt that there was some reason, and the anger on his face eased a little, but he was still unwilling, "Then if I don't take it, then isn't Aideed going to capture Kismayo?" I'm afraid this will be even more powerful for him. ”

"That will only make him face the blows of several forces, including the Southern Alliance, general, the winner who has the last laugh."

Hassan pondered for a moment, then twisted his teeth, "Okay, I'll let people go back." ”

He was also reluctant, but after taking stock of the stakes, he didn't need to be confronted with the British, if Aideed needed it, he would give it to him, what he didn't see was that after Tang Dao heard this, the corners of his mouth raised, and he only had two words for Hassan in his heart: idiot!

You listen to me.

Don't you know that I'm a Somali big fool?

The reason why Tang Dao persuaded the other party to give up Kismayo was to "sell" it to Aideed.

The city was sold to him as a whole, isn't the other party ready to give some benefits? In fact, he had his eye on the coastal area of Kismayo, a deep-water seaport that could accommodate cargo ships, and was more sophisticated than the Mogadishu seaport in modern times.

If you want to carry out maritime security services, how can you dock ships and guns without a qualified seaport?

Tang Dao didn't want to be the emperor of the soil, he just wanted to make more money, and then buy a small island to be a big man, to get back to the point, Hassan seemed to let go of it in one breath, and shouted to the guards at the door, let them bring two cups of coffee, this face can be changed like a dog's face, motioning for Tang Dao to sit down, and he sat opposite him.

"Mr. Nicholas, since there is no one to stop us, we can continue the conversation, I want to buy some powerful artillery, but I can't come up with that much cash, so I plan to settle the bill in a different way." Hassan bent down and pulled out a silver suitcase from under the coffee table, carefully placed it, then opened it, and handed it to Tang Dao in turn.

It's all diamonds!

"There are 103 diamonds, the largest is 15 carats, and the others are the smallest 3 carats, which is $5 million at market value!"

In the 90s, the price of diamonds on the market was about $6,000 per carat, of course, if you include the brand effect, it can definitely be sold for 3-50,000 US dollars, after all, beautiful things have women in the background, and diamonds are the biggest scam of the century, but this is believed by more people, and it will come true.

Tang Dao stretched out his hand, pinched one of them, and put it under the sun to watch.

It's still very exciting to see so many diamonds.

He is not a professional, but I think Hassan should not deceive him with glass, this is a lot of money for counterfeiting, and there is really no shortage of diamonds in Africa, especially for warlords like him.

"Of course, diamonds are hard currency, but we have to take care of the price, and I don't think that in Africa, these need 5 million dollars, and I can pay up to 4 million dollars."

Tang Dao is a greedy businessman at the moment, trying his best to bargain, nothing more than wanting to get greater benefits.

Hassan frowned, with a look of hope that you would like to lie to me, "I met a diamond merchant before, and they were willing to pay $7 million. ”

MD, this lie doesn't blush.

$7 million, you still don't sell? This bargaining technique is too bad.

"Up to $4.3 million, it's a big deal to send you extra."

Hassan was silent for a moment before saying, "Give me another $300,000 membership." ”

"Deal!" Tang Dao nodded, "What do you want?" ”

"I've written it all down, you see." The other party handed over the written order, Tang Dao took it and looked at it carefully.

Millimeter anti-aircraft guns * 3, these old antiques produced in 1955, in the fourth Middle East war in 1973, the Israeli planes destroyed by the artillery accounted for one-third of the total losses of Israeli aircraft, and the Iraqi army used this gun in the 1991 Gulf War, with great power, good stability, high shooting accuracy and high fire density. With the ability of three defenses, this type of anti-aircraft gun is composed of a 23mm machine gun, an amphibious tank hull, a sealed turret and a fire control system, and has the characteristics of light weight, good mobility and can shoot between the march.

But because of the large volume and long age, the price for him is: 250,000 US dollars!

This armor protection is very weak, almost exploded! Don't look at him like a tank, you might be able to kill him with a single RPG shot.

But the range of 7000 meters is also considered a short-range "overlord", referring to Africa.

Tang Dao took advantage of the situation and looked down.

Type 2A36 "Hyacinth"-B Cannon*7, unit price: $450,000.

33 km express 152 mm shells!

This, if formed an artillery position, is an absolute scrubbing.

"Shileka" 23-mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun......

240-mm self-propelled mortar M1975......

D-20152 mm cannon howitzer ...
