At a time when a large number of people in the United States are talking about the Future Technology Group, Fan Yize, who is far away in Mogadishu, is waiting for the arrival of guests.

During the assault on Mogadishu, he met some people who interested Fan Yize, who were among the arms traffickers active in Africa.

Because of the civil war in Somalia, it has naturally attracted a large number of arms dealers from all over the world, and in order to better expand the market and supervise arms sales, some of them live in Mogadishu in person, some send special representatives to Mogadishu, and some happen to come to Mogadishu in the past few days and have not had time to leave.

These arms dealers, without exception, became prisoners of the Red Police.

Fan Yize didn't do anything to these international arms dealers, but just asked the tiger division to take care of these arms dealers together.

Most of these arms dealers who are active in the international community can be described as notorious, and the vast majority of arms dealers admit money but do not recognize people, and do not care what kind of bad consequences will come to the weapons they sell.

As long as you have money, even in the hinterland of Africa, even if you want missiles, they will get them for you.

Of course, not everyone can afford to buy the goods of these arms dealers, and some arms dealers sell exclusively to customers.

This kind of arms dealer is the arms dealer secretly supported by various countries, and these arms dealers sell relatively high-end weapons and equipment, generally speaking, individual anti-aircraft missiles to anti-tank missiles, and all kinds of light and heavy weapons, can be sold.

If permitted, tanks, planes, and small warships could also be sold, not only for money, but also for political affiliation and willingness to accept political conditions.

Some of the arms dealers active in Mogadishu belong to the second type of arms dealers, but because of the Somali political environment and the general difficulty of exploiting resources, few countries are really interested in Somalia.

In addition, those armed forces inside Somalia do not have so much money to buy advanced weapons and equipment, so simple AK-47s and RPGs are the most popular.

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and with the consumption of weapons and ammunition from the continuous firefight, there is still a large market.

According to the latest global international arms trading market last year, the total volume of transactions successfully completed last year reached $300 billion.

The arms officially authorized by the United States alone to export amounted to $100 billion and were exported to more than 100 countries around the world.

In second place is Russia, which exported $80 billion in arms last year, but the main countries that exported to it were British India and some Russian countries that mainly used the Russian series as their main equipment.

Moreover, there is a large amount of obvious information predicting that the international arms market will become even more prosperous and huge in the next few years.

This is mainly due to the deterioration of the international security situation and the self-preservation mentality that exists in all countries, which has given rise to the demand for arms purchases.

Of course, the total trade volume of the arms trade is not so simple.

First, the escalation of armaments in the region will have a huge ripple effect, and it will be difficult to "brake" once a situation arises in which competing parties are catching up with each other.

The build-up of armaments has led to a sense of insecurity on both sides, and even if there is no fighting, the war will always make the atmosphere in the region unpleasant. Once military spending is sufficient, the risk of willful behavior by individual countries will increase dramatically.

The increasing number of arms imported by the Gulf countries from the United States and other countries has exacerbated regional conflicts.

Many countries, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, also plan to purchase more and more advanced weapons from the United States and other Western countries to strengthen their armed forces, which has the potential to set off a regional arms race.

In addition, some non-traditional military-industrial countries are also aiming for a lucrative arms deal, especially when they find that major players such as the United States and Russia are more eager to try arms exports as dividends for economic growth, which further leads to regional instability.

Taking Japan as an example, after Abe took office, he gave the green light for Japan's arms to enter the international market by lifting the three principles of arms exports, and Japanese enterprises, including Mitsubishi Corporation, have great potential for arms production. Abe's main promotion of the arms industry is to unleash the arms market to boost the domestic economy.

Saudi Arabia, the buyer of the "local tycoon", decided to build a military industry in the country, producing transport aircraft for its own needs within two years.

And India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has even claimed that 70% of military products will be "Made in India" in the next decade.

Either way, however, the global flow of arms is itself an element of instability in the international situation.

However, the above-mentioned arms market is actually only a small part of the international arms trade.

For many countries, arms purchases are not only an economic burden, but also a political burden.

Arms deals, especially those of advanced weapons and equipment, will inevitably have political strings attached, which also makes it impossible for most countries in the world to purchase the weapons and equipment they want.

In fact, the United States sold $100 billion worth of arms last year, but the cost of producing these arms was not even one-fifth of the selling price, and some of them were even more profitable, plus some political conditions.

That is why countries are paying more and more attention to the arms market.

And if you buy weapons and equipment on the black market, first of all, you have to pay both money and goods, and the other is that you don't need to agree to political conditions.

Therefore, despite the fact that last year's share of the global arms market reached $300 billion and profits exceeded $200 billion, in fact, the profits of the arms market last year were as high as $500 billion, and the total transaction volume was as much as $700 or 800 billion.

In particular, the Middle East market and the African market are active here for hundreds of arms dealers from all over the world, and no one gets a piece of the pie, and the huge market cake is divided in this way.

Fan Yize naturally also took a fancy to the huge cake of the global arms market, although he thought that he was not short of money, but he needed this market.

He wants to understand the inner workings of the global arms trade, understand the trend of the global arms market, and even find out where each arms deal comes from and where it goes.

The Future Military Resources Company itself is an arms sales business, and the military operation of the Somali rebels is a very good advertisement.

However, in the future, if military resource companies want to quickly have their own global arms market, they will not be able to do it step by step, and they need to find some agents who already have a good reputation in the world, and such agents will have their own sales channels and familiar buyers.

Therefore, Fan Yize also set his sights on these arms dealers who were active in the war zone, and he believed that he would definitely get what he wanted in the hands of these people.
