Chapter 186: Arms dealers gather in Bossaso
PS: 480 monthly passes plus more! There will be updates in the evening.
――――
Three days later, on the road from Bagua City to Bossaso, four armed Humvees carrying a luxury stretch sedan were heading for Bossaso.
After nearly three months of renovation, nearly half of the main road connecting the two major cities has been paved with new cement roads, with wide four lanes, only two-thirds of the construction requirements, and the expressway in Jihua, which is completed with six lanes in both directions, and has to reserve space for expansion.
Along the road, 10 gas stations and repair stations have also been built to provide as convenient driving as possible for this road that is more than 300 kilometers long. After all, the road is desert and uninhabited.
At this time, Li Lan was sitting in the luxurious stretch car. This sedan is a car specially produced by Li Lan, and the price is very unusual. But the victory is that it is fully equipped inside, and it is very resistant to blows. It's definitely much better than the Humvee that guards the road.
In the base icon, the name of this car is also very simple, it is the commander's car, and there are many other icons, and the exclusive car of the Navy and Air Force is also available.
In the car, Li Lan can contact the base at any time, and can also contact the situation of various units through this car. The base will also pass the latest information to this car. Under normal circumstances, this car can completely serve as Li Lan's temporary command vehicle.
The speed and stability are also very good, at least along the way, Li Lan has not felt the bumps, and the speed has now reached 120 kilometers per hour.
And in the eyes of outsiders, this is just a bulletproof car that looks very pompous, and it is generally the car of important people.
When I haven't met a base car yet. Li Lan once saw a video of Putin's car on the Internet, and she wanted one very much. Although it was just a luxury at that time, it couldn't stop the ideal of fullness. But. Even if he took seven or eight Putin's special cars in exchange, Li Lan resolutely refused to change them. Because this car is much stronger than the one in the video.
Needless to say, leather sofas are naturally basic, constant temperature and quietness are just basic, and comfort and a variety of complete functions are considered basic configurations.
When he first got in this car, Li Lan had already deeply liked it. Man! There are a few who don't love cars.
Therefore, on this trip to Bossaso, Li Lan naturally will not take those Humvees and armored vehicles again. After all, it belongs to a combat vehicle, and comfort has always been placed in the Zuihou place, so don't expect it to be comfortable at all.
There were three more people who passed with Li Lan. One was Farah, but he sat in the passenger seat with great interest, hanging out with the special forces who were driving. In the spacious rear compartment, there are only three people. Natasha naturally wanted to follow Li Lan's side, and the other was Lin Meiqi, who promised to go to Bossaso with Li Lan.
However, along the way, the atmosphere in the car was exceptionally quiet.
On the bezel of the cab and rear compartment, a huge monitor extends from the roof to the bottom of the car. The left and right sides are also pushed to both sides. It feels like the whole car is completely split into two parts. And when needed, the monitor is rolled up like paper into the roof film.
At this time, the music video is playing on the monitor. Three-dimensional music surrounds the car, and the light notes beat in the ears of the trio. This monitor can also synchronize content from the displays within the base console when needed. Other words. Li Lan can directly watch the general situation of the entire base scanning area here. Truly possess the ability to clairvoyance. Of course, once the car is out of the scanning range of the base. In order to receive it, it must rely on the transmission of spy satellites.
Now, Li Lan doesn't have such a thing as a spy satellite. It's not that he doesn't produce, but in order to avoid irritating the most sensitive nerve in all countries, so it has never been built. After all, if you can send a satellite into the sky, you will tell others that you already have the ability to have a ballistic missile, because as long as you replace the satellite with explosives, it is a ballistic missile, and if you replace it with a nuclear warhead, it will naturally be a nuclear missile.
The three people in the car seemed to be silent in the singing every second, without saying a word. However, the three people with different faces didn't know what they were thinking, and the singing voice didn't seem to exist. None of the three of them had their eyes focused on the monitor.
This situation lasted for more than two hours, and when the car drove into Bossaso, the atmosphere did not change in the slightest.
Soon, the convoy stopped in front of the Bossaso Hotel, and by this time the Bossaso garrison had taken over the security of the hotel, and after the car had stopped, a soldier came over and opened the door.
Li Lan didn't say anything, and got out of the car directly, and Natasha and Lin Meiqi were also very quiet.
"Go and help Miss Lin prepare the room, and ask for the most haode." After entering the hotel, Li Lan gave an order to the general manager of the hotel who came to greet him.
"Yes." The manager of the hotel nodded, then walked up to Lin Meiqi and said, "Miss Lin, please come down." ”
Lin Meiqi, who was following behind Li Lan, looked at his back as he continued to walk forward, didn't say anything, nodded, and followed the hotel manager, and behind her, there were two Navy SEALs who helped carry the luggage.
And Natasha is following Li Lan inch by her side, and when she goes out, she needs to ensure Li Lan's safety. She should not be negligent at any time, even if there is not a single enemy in sight in the whole of Bossaso, this is her rule.
At this moment, in the living room on the top floor of the Bossaso Hotel, more than a dozen people were waiting for Li Lan's arrival, among these dozen people, there were blacks, whites, and even yellow-skinned ones.
The moment Farah and Li Lan walked in, everyone's eyes were on Li Lan. For the international figures in the past year or so, Li Lan can definitely rank in the top three, even Snowden is not as photogenic as Li Lan.
People with a heart have long kept Li Lan's appearance firmly in mind. The people in this are all people with a heart, or they are the kind of people who have a special heart. Therefore, the moment Li Lan came in, everyone who was originally sitting upright hurriedly got up and showed a kind smile to Li Lan.
Li Lan also smiled back, and Farah on the side began to introduce these people to Li Lan one by one.
"This is McCaldon. Mr. Severn was a very well-known international arms dealer from the Germanic peoples. ”
The first thing to introduce was a very gentlemanly white man, Li Lan did not show any arrogance, and shook hands with a smile on his face under Farah's introduction.
"This is Kudryash. Mr. Leonid, who was also a very influential arms dealer, came from the Rasfu nation. ”
……
"Mr. Huang Minghong, who came to the same place as the chief, is also a very influential businessman."
……
"Mr. Ishag, from South Sudan, is ......"
……
Under Farah's introduction one by one, Li Lan shook hands with each of them. Subsequently, everyone sat down in turn, and Li Lan and Farah naturally sat on the main seat.
When everyone was seated, no one spoke, but Farah took out the remote control and pressed the electric curtains on all the windows in the reception room. When all the light was blocked, the video began to play on the wall opposite the crowd, under the projector.
The content of the video is very simple, and it is full of pictures of various army weapons showing their power.
From the most basic rifle grenades, to all kinds of individual rocket artillery and missiles, anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles, one by one. In the back, armed off-road vehicles, armed Humvees, infantry fighting vehicles, and the most interesting Rhino tank.
When the hour-long video ended, except for Li Lan and Farah, the dozen or so arms dealers inside were still in shock.
When they came, they had already thought about the strength of the other party, otherwise it would not have been possible to defeat Ethiopia. Although Ethiopia is really nothing among the countries, for private individuals, it is a country, not a local shili, and it is not the kind of guy who can establish himself as a king with a few thousand soldiers. It was a fully armed country, and relying on private liliang, it was simply an unshakable existence.
But such a country, defeated at the hands of a world that no one looks at haodeshili, not only wiped out two elite armored brigades in Ethiopia, but also packed up all the Su-27s, the most advanced in the opposing air force. So far, the Ethiopian side has not even snorted. You can only smash your teeth and swallow it yourself.
In addition, the US-led NATO countries submitted to the United Nations a document on trade self-determination against Li Lan, but in the end it was not approved, and under the trade ban of NATO countries, Russia actually stood up three days ago and claimed to have purchased 12 Rhino main battle tanks from Li Lan at a price of $2.4 million each. This is what the Russian Ministry of Defense said, and no one will go and suspect anything.
This has also deeply stimulated those international arms dealers, as well as many Shili in Africa. These dozen or so people are nothing more than a group of people who came earlier, or rather, are more far-sighted, and they are already on the road before Russia has even begun to make announcements.
And the news given by Russia made each of them feel like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were also very much looking forward to this trip. In my heart, I feel even more glad that I have decided to come here.
In particular, after seeing the power of dozens of weapons in various combat environments in the video footage, they felt even more worthy of this trip. Even if there is no order for the twelve tanks of Russia, the power of these weapons in the picture in front of them is enough to make them excited.
In today's international situation, the channels for many advanced weapons are becoming less and less, and there is a huge arsenal in front of them, and whether they can grasp it or not depends on themselves. (To be continued......)
