Hearing Farah's explanation, Li Lan reacted to the fact that there are diamonds in Africa and oil in the Middle East.

As one of the most valuable representatives of the third Shijie country, when it comes to Africa, many people think of diamonds and gold first.

After seeing too much in Somalia, Li Lan has habitually lowered Africa's arms purchasing capacity by many levels, but hearing Farah's words, he suddenly saw one.

In Africa, many diamond mines are owned by the state, but there are also many diamond mines that fall into the hands of some armed shili, most of whom are classified as rebels. Weishenme Africa will be so chaotic, there is a lot of turmoil, it is because of these precious minerals.

In Central Africa in particular, many countries have more or less one or two rebels, and almost all of these rebels have their own control over diamond mines or gold mines, or oil. And the rebels that have developed by controlling these high-value natural resources are difficult for even government forces to deal with.

This chaotic situation was actually a product of the Cold War, when the United States and the Soviet Union competed for Africa's natural resources, and on the other side either controlled the government or the rebel army. After the end of the Cold War, although the Soviet Union was gone, driven by interests, ambitions, and hatred, this chaotic situation did not change in the slightest.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States also reduced its attention to Africa, and then gradually faded out of their sight. It's just that the United States has lost its innate advantage.

Africa is in turmoil every year. Nor has it changed in the slightest. Some countries have been at war for thirty or forty years. The government changes every year, and there is not the slightest political power or prestige to speak of.

But. Moreover, according to the UN Charter, it is absolutely forbidden to sell advanced naval and air force weapons to war-torn African countries, especially weapons of destruction. At present, almost all countries are agreeing to this charter.

Therefore, it has led to many armed shili who obviously have money but cannot buy advanced weapons, and this is a treasure land for all shijie arms dealers, and in the eyes of arms dealers, Africa is truly full of gold. Because here. Buyers can be found anywhere.

Ethiopia, which is considered to be the most powerful country in Africa, was defeated, all the main fighters of the air force were basically gone, the navy was not there, and the army was completely annihilated by two armored brigades. This has given many people an opportunity, because the brightest star weapon of this war is in Africa, very close to them.

Ground wars have always been the protagonists of wars in Africa, and there are very few air forces, let alone navies, let alone navies. So. A main battle tank from the same African region, and being able to defeat the T-72 and T-80 head-on, is the equivalent of putting a good meal in front of their hungry eyes.

And in order to avoid this weapon being purchased by the adversary, each of them seemed to be in a hurry. I'm afraid I'm a step too late. The balance is upset and puts yourself at a disadvantage.

"Since the commander wants to sell, then set the right price." Farah didn't know how much the Rhino tank would cost. It is also not clear where these tanks came from, and he would not have asked before. He won't ask in the future.

Perhaps, in his opinion, China has such a large amount of food support. Enough to say it all. He didn't just think so, many Somalis in the territory thought this way, so there was no need to ask or talk about something.

"Since this tank is going to be sold, it is necessary to come up with a price that is in line with the third generation tank. Depending on the number of purchases, the cheapest one cannot be less than $2 million! "Of the 80,000 base funds, Li Lan's lowest price is as high as 2 million, and it is also the lowest price, which is his bottom line.

The selling price of these two million was set by Li Lan based on Shijie's advanced third-generation tank, and on the basis of this average value, it was much lower. It's not because Li Lan wants to sell it cheaply, but this price is suitable for the purchasing power of many third-party shijie countries.

Li Lan has no idea about the high-end arms market at present, but he is very interested in these low-end markets, although this will snatch business with China, after all, the foreign trade price of an MBT-2000 is five million, and the price of the Rhino tank is so cheap, and there are basically no political conditions attached, so many people will be interested in it.

"Isn't two million too little?" In Farah's impression, such a tank would be sold for three or four million, but he didn't expect Li Lan's heart to be so small, and the reserve price was only two million.

"It's quite a bit, this is just our first generation tank, there are more advanced ones in the back, and there are two other upgraded models of this Rhino tank, don't worry about the price will be too cheap. It's a car of 1.5 million, we can also sell it, but we need to pay other conditions in exchange. "The price of two million, Li Lan thinks that it is already okay, the rhinoceros tank, which is Chinese and Western, after the Apocalypse tank has entered service in the army, he very much hopes to sell a little more.

"Okay, I see." Since it was not clear how much the tank would cost, Farah had no way to say anything.

"You just talked about escorting arms, and I was looking for you to set up a company." Li Lan said.

"What company?" Mohammadi, who had not been able to interject, this time it was his turn to speak

"I know that there is an EO in South Africa, which is the largest private mercenary company on shijie, and we are going to build a company like this, and a lot of times, with the title of mercenary, many things are much easier." Li Lan pointed out.

"Then you are planning to let the soldiers join this mercenary organization?" Muhammadi asked.

"No, I'm going to get a new batch of people, they're already on their way, and they'll come in a while. The mercenaries in this company are all shijie, and they are used by people of all colors, and each of them is an extremely good fighter. ”

Li Lan has had this idea for a long time, and he plans to recruit a group of soldiers of all colors, and the soldiers recruited by the base are Somalis by default, just to make it more convenient for Li Lan to rule Somalia, so that Somalis can identify with this army from the bottom of their hearts. And he can also randomly recruit soldiers of all colors and races, they are just different in skin color and appearance, and everything inside is the same. To put it simply, it is to change the appearance, and the things inside have not changed.

And the use of multiple skin tones is also Li Lan's order to make it more convenient for the mercenaries to accept the task, after all, all races, the scale of the fight is more attention-grabbing. The accepted tasks will also have certain limitations.

According to Li Lan's idea, this mercenary army should have all kinds of talents, so he planned to recruit every branch of the army according to a reasonable proportion. Whether it's an engineer, a military dog, a special forces, a spy, a sniper, a crazy Ivan, a terrorist, and all the other troops, he needs to be arranged. Let them be able to pick up any task and be ready to go.

In terms of the nature of the mission, Li Lan will not make too many restrictions, ranging from participating in a country's war to kidnapping and security, which are acceptable.

Such an organization can not only train soldiers, but also perform some of their own shady tasks, and most importantly, mercenaries can bring good economic income. It's not the American Blackwater Company or the French Foreign Legion, which are very good tools for these countries to make money, and they are also daggers in the shadows to deal with military operations that are difficult for the regular army to come forward.

However, this mercenary company, Li Lan is more inclined to South Africa's EO, which is a purely private mercenary company, whether there are mainstream countries supporting it behind it, or how many countries are supporting it, this Li Lan is not clear.

But he is confident that he can compete with this company, there is a mercenary group in South Africa, so North Africa naturally needs one, and this one is created by him, and in terms of the army, he has no reason to admit it.

"How's the scale, how many?" When Farah heard Li Lan say that he wanted to create mercenaries, he also became very interested, and in Africa, the mercenary business was very busy, and he could take business everywhere, and the money was very easy to make. Not only local shili, but also many countries will hire and do things that they can't do.

Farah had also studied this business before, if it weren't for the fact that the people under him were not qualified for the work of mercenaries, he would have done it himself, after all, the profits in it are not small.

"It depends, but you must make a name for yourself first. As for the transportation of arms, it can also be handed over to them. Li Lan thought for a while and said.

"Haode, I'll go handle it right away. On the customer side, there is no need to worry, our customers, presumably, will also be interested in our mercenaries. Farah nodded and said, "Then what is this mercenary company called?" ”

"What do you think?" This Li Lan really hasn't thought about it, in his opinion, the name should be loud and easy to remember.

"In that case, there's no need to worry, wait until I've prepared all the preliminary work before deciding on the name." Farah couldn't think of it for a moment.

"That'll do!" Li Lan nodded, agreeing with Farah's idea.

"Is there anything else the chief has ordered?" Muhammadi on the side heard that the two of them seemed to have finished talking, so he spoke up.

"Yes, there is one more thing that needs you to draw up a charter as soon as possible." Li Lan nodded and said to Muhammadi: "I plan to expand the original garrison regiment into a garrison division, and according to the establishment of three infantry brigades, the number is about 12,000. In terms of armament, there will be Humvees and armored vehicles. In terms of establishment, I have already asked the staff to make arrangements, and you just need to find all the manpower. And you have to tell the residents who are enthusiastic about joining the army that this establishment is only temporary, and that in the future, the size of the garrison will need to be further expanded. Let them not be in a hurry. ”
