Chapter 190 Taliban Leader

On the overgrown mountain walls, there are holes of one square meter; dense and eye-catching, there are at least dozens.

On the outer edge of these holes, small raised pits were dug out one by one. It seems to be used to pass on the mountain wall.

Li Mo and Michael withdrew their stunned eyes and turned to the only earthen building in front of them.

The potholed wall, you can imagine what kind of wind and frost it has experienced. A intact but black door opened casually, shaking slightly with a gust of wind, occasionally mixed with a itchy squeak.

In front of the earthen building, there stood a group of men, women and children dressed in very different clothes. Their clothes may be a little dilapidated, but they are very neat and clean in this windy and sandy place. It is not easy to keep your clothes tidy.

Li Mo looked at the group of people and finally fixed on a man with a bearded face. The headscarf representing Islamists and a black beard cover most of the whole face. But Li Mo's eyes stopped on the man for a long time.

From the man standing in the current position of a group of people, and the loomy momentum on him. It's hard to peek. Li Mo took up a film of Omar in his mind. Compared with the man in ordinary clothes in front of him, he found that the two were so similar.

There is no need to guess, Li Mo also understands that the middle-aged man in front of him, who is like an ordinary person, is the one-eyed general who is a close comrade-in-arms with bin Laden: Omar!

Thinking of this, Li Mo took a quick look at the man's right eye and found that although there was also an eyeball there, there was no real eye, giving people a rigid feeling.

"Oh! My dear friend, Mr. Baker. You're finally here!" After looking at Li Mo and Michael, Omar grinned and said.

Michael's full name is Michael. Baker. Omar called him Baker. It can be imagined that the relationship between the two was not too close, but not too bad. Otherwise, he would not have called his last name alone.

Looking at Michael and Omar talking around with a smile, Li Mo stood aside reserved and didn't move at all. The language spoken by the two at this time is Persian. Before coming, Li Mo studied hard at the last minute. Although he was not proficient, he could also understand most of the regular Persian. Only a small number of local dialects are not very clear.

Although Omar is also an Islamist, he rarely hears 'Lord' and 'Allah' in his words. Instead, he is like a Westerner who has never had faith.

"My brother, come on, let me introduce you. This is an arms dealer from China. He is very influential in eastern Africa!" After the two finished a set of polite words, Michael introduced Li Mo to Omar.

"Hello, Chief Omar! I'm Li Mo!" Li Mo stretched out his hand with a smile and said enthusiastically. He just saw that the two of them also used the etiquette of shaking hands, which made him breathed a sigh of relief. Li Mo is afraid of seeing a large set of Islamic etiquette or something, which is not exhausting!

"Li, you are so young. At your age, I still served a few lambs at home!" Omar held Li Mo's hand affectionately and sighed. A touch of memories and melancholy flashed in a flexible eye.

Li Mo** caught this strangeness, and he knew the mood of the man in front of him very well. Once a leader of a country has become what he is now in just three years. It doesn't count if you hide in the deep mountains and forests. He still lives in a cave and lives a life where people don't look like ghosts. This huge gap can make some people despair and degenerate, and also make some people wake up and see through the ups and downs of life.

Omar in front of him is undoubtedly the second kind of person. That's why he gradually went behind the scenes after the collapse of the Taliban regime and was not active on the international stage!

Li Mo and Michael followed Omar into the earthen building. Until the room on the right. A man of Omar pried up a wooden floor, revealing a dark hole. The man whispered a few words to the mouth of the cave. Li Mo saw a ladder slowly rising from below.

Perhaps seeing the surprise in the eyes of Li Mo and Michael, Omar explained with a wry smile, "Although it is remote, it is not too safe here. In order to avoid the satellite reconnaissance of the U.S. military. We can only live in the cave!"

Li Mo and Michael nodded thoughtfully. For the monitoring of the world, the United States says it is the second, and no one dares to say it is the first. The former Soviet Union may have surpassed the United States in some fields in satellite technology. But the economic strength of the Soviet Union is not as strong as that of the United States. The huge quantity gap cannot be made up by a slight quality gap. What's more, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States has networked some advanced technologies and scientists in the Soviet Union through its financial advantages and powerful intelligence network. Today, more than ten years later, no country can surpass the United States in military science and technology.

From this point of view, how powerful the United States is. Although Li Mo was careful not to collide with the United States before, he still damaged the good things of the United States several times in Somalia. If the United States knew that the person behind it was Li Mo, who was waiting for him, it might be worse than Omar. After all, Omar once held the power of a country, and the resources in his hand are far from comparable to Li Mo.

At this moment, Li Mo's requirements for the Star Organization need to be more low-key.

From the ladder at the entrance of the cave to more than three meters under the ground. It's a channel 1.5 meters high. Although he was underground, the passage was not dark at all. On both sides of the channel, there is a light at a distance, which illuminates the channel as bright as day.

"Wow, there's power here! How much will it cost to complete this!" The mouse's eyes behind him rolled as he turned and sighed to himself.

In the quiet passage, there are only the footsteps of people. The mouse's words are particularly prominent here.

Omar, who bent down and walked in the second place, smiled and said, "The lights here are usually not on!" In a short sentence, Li Mo and Michael added a lot of affection to Omar.

After all, people's electricity must be scarce. In order to welcome the arrival of the two people, all the lights were turned on, but it gave them a lot of face.

Li Mo couldn't help sighing in his heart that no one who can be famous in the world is simple.

After walking the winding passage for about ten minutes, everyone saw an exit in front of them. Li Mo estimated that everyone had gone hundreds of meters deep into the mountains. Such a long passage, in the eyes of people today. It's not a big project. After all, there are a lot of mechanical equipment now. As long as you have money, it is not difficult to dig such a channel. But Li Mo knows that equipment is rarely used in passage caves here. Because the remnants of the Taliban dare not dig with great fanfare.

After the exit, everyone stood up. They looked at this space one after another. There is a huge space of 800 square meters, which is separated into a large and two small areas by layers of waist-high boards. In a large area of space, small stools are neatly placed. It's like a small conference room. The other two small spaces are equipped with all kinds of furniture.

There is a one-meter-high hole in the four directions of the southeast and northwest of the space. The hole that Li Mo and others just came out of is one in the West! You can't see the holes inside at a glance, and you don't have to think about it that they lead to other directions. As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three caves. Although Omar can't understand Huaxia's allusions, he knows that there are several places to escape in any place, which is necessary for people like him who have powerful enemies.

"Lazac, you take the two guests to rest. I have something important to talk about with the two guests."

In a small compartment, Omar, Li Mo and Michael made it around a simple wooden table. At this time, Li Mo became nervous for no reason, because what he was going to talk about next was the huge plan.

The three of them did not go straight to the topic at the beginning, but casually talked about the outside world. Although Omar has been in the dark cave, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know what's going on in the outside world.

Through chatting, Li Mo also knew how Michael and Omar, two people who couldn't fight in one place, knew each other.

As early as 1995, Michael had just made his debut. That is, just ambitious to engage in the arms business. He first bought a batch of military supplies worth $100,000 in an underground arsenal in the United States. These military supplies are not weapons, but auxiliary supplies. Such as desert camouflage clothing, field food and medicine, etc. Come to Afghanistan to sell. At that time, Afghanistan was a chaotic situation in which warlords competed for hegemony. The fledgling Michael is inexperienced and has no reputation. He was eaten by a small warlord, but he didn't get any money. The impulsive Michael quarreled in the station of the armed forces. He was almost killed by the armed group. If it weren't for the critical time, Omar took the Taliban to wipe out the armed warlord who was against him and took the opportunity to rescue Michael. I'm afraid that Michael's bones have been gone by now.

At that time, the goods were bought by Omar, but the price was not high. There is only a meager profit. But these are good enough results for Michael. That's how Michael and Omar met for the first time. After that, Michael summed up the lesson and hired some bodyguards every time he sold arms. With his adventurous spirit and smart mind, the business is getting bigger and bigger. But after that meeting, the two never saw each other again. Soon after, Omar gained power in Afghanistan. There will also remember a small arms dealer at the beginning.

It was not until the U.S. military attacked the Taliban that Michael also established a tight network in Afghanistan. Through several secret intelligence tips, it was of great help to Omar and the Taliban. There was a second meeting between the two.

This is the third meeting between Michael and O'Maire with Li Mo. Although the two did not meet again before, there was still some connection through their subordinates. This huge plan was also put forward by O'Mair at the beginning.
