Chapter 385 The Chinese Expeditionary Mission with a Secret Mission

On the morning of the 18th, the whole world knew that the Sokken Border War was won by the unknown Paraming Cook Army. The East African power has always claimed to be Kenya's elite troupe, but it was armed with a non-political axe and there was not even a hair left.

While laughing at Kenya's political axe, many forces also secretly shocked the strength of the army. The new Somali 'warlord' quietly developed and grew in southern Somalia until he had the strength to win with Kenya.

Society is realistic, and only when you have the strength can you be respected by others. After the victory of the Palamin army in the war, many small and medium-sized forces in Somalia sent representatives to the headquarters of the Mingzhu army. On the surface, they came to congratulate the Ming army on their victory in the war against foreign invaders. In fact, it is not without the intention of exploring the news and observing whether they can get closer.

Li Mo has been very busy after the victory of the war. However, what he was busy with was not to receive representatives of forces from all sides in China. Those people were sent by Li Mo to the fox to deal with. Li Mo mainly received two groups of people and a phone number.

The phone call was from a person that Li Mo didn't expect, Omar, the leader of the Taliban. Nowadays, the situation of the Taliban is very bad, and the United States seems to be determined to deal with the Taliban at one time. After mobilized troops to surround Kandahar tightly, they did not immediately go to war, but sent elite special forces to Afghanistan and the Pakistani border with the intention of destroying the Taliban's nests hidden in the mountainous areas of the border. Although the specific result is not clear to Li Mo, the tone of Omar's words is not very depressed. It seems that he can deal with the threat of the U.S. military for the time being.

And the two groups of people were received, one of whom was from Huaxia, and the leader was also an old acquaintance of Li Mo, the director of Lei Zhenlei. Even Colonel Ding Huiqiang came in disguise. When he saw these people, Li Mo knew that they would never just for the medium-sized copper mine in his hands, and there must be other purposes. Li Mo thinks that the most likely thing is the war between the Mingzhu Army and Kenya.

Receiving a group of people from China, Li Mo was not in the headquarters building of the Mingzhu Army, but at the Camel Mountain base. This is mainly for confidentiality. At present, there are many impure-minded people near the headquarters of the Mingzhu Army, and many of them even come to 'investigation' openly under various guises. If a group of Chinese people suddenly appear here, it will definitely be a sensation. That's not what Li Mo and Huaxia Zhengxu are willing to see.

The lush primitive forest and the soldiers wearing camouflage with rifles bring a trace of mystery and curiosity to many members of the Chinese secret 'examine' group who saw this scene for the first time. Under the lead of an armed jeep, a group of people from China finally entered the camel mountain base.

Nowadays, because of the outbreak of the border war, the Camel Mountain base has suddenly become much deserted. Although the number of people has not decreased, in order to make every effort to produce ammunition, the armed workers are resting - there is no pause in production. And the guards have also increased the strength of patrols and guards. In their spare time, the members of the base stay in their residence spontaneously and rarely walk around at will.

When he got out of the car, Lei Zhen took a deep breath of the air with the smell of the jungle. Compared with the heat outside, the temperature in the forest is much lower, and the humidity in the air will not make people feel so dry and uncomfortable.

"Is this Li Mo's nest?" Ding Huiqiang looked around as soon as he got off the car and asked in surprise. If he hadn't known that this was Africa, he would have thought he had come to the headquarters of an armed group in Southeast Asia: armed soldiers patrolling around, wooden buildings hiding in the woods, etc.

"This place is very good. Li Mo is very discerning!" Lei Zhen did not answer Ding Huiqiang's question directly. He knew that Ding Huiqiang was just surprised, not because of ignorance.

"Seeing here, I am half sure whether the medium-sized copper mine in Somalia can be mined!" Li Guoqing, deputy director of the Overseas Development Department of Huaxia Nonferrous Metals Company, said with a smile.

Li Guoqing, who has been looking for mineral resources in various places abroad, is very greedy for those mineral resources in Africa. But years of experience have made him understand that in Africa, it is not enough to have money to develop a mineral, but to have power. This force is not the Chinese political axe standing behind him. In Africa, most of the mineral resources are in the hands of tribes. It is useless for you to tell a tribal chief how powerful China is. No matter how powerful Huaxia is, it can't control him. Only when there is a strong force in the local area can we ensure the ability to mine normally while obtaining mineral mining power. And this force, in Africa, represents force.

Whether it is a tribe or various non-political armed groups, they are all a force. Without the support of force, it is not easy to do business properly in most parts of Africa.

Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang both understood the meaning of Li Guoqing's words, and they smiled and said nothing more. No one knows Li Mo's strength better than them in China.

"Group leader, Li Mo is back!" Tang Ya, who had been standing aside, immediately warned when she saw a jeep coming in from the outside.

Li Mo returned to the Camel Mountain base with a driver, but no one else. After getting out of the car and seeing Huaxia and his party standing on the training ground, Li Mo immediately came over with a smile.

"Lei Team Leader, Colonel Ding. Two leaders are welcome to visit our company for inspection and guidance. Li Mo stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two of them and joked.

"Haha, good boy, I haven't seen you for a few days, and my eloquence has increased!" Lei Zhen said with a smile. Colonel Ding and I are here this time. It's just the right time.

Li Mo thought for a moment and knew that Lei Zhen was referring to the victory of the Soken border war. Li Mo was not surprised by Lei Zhen's speculation about the relationship between him and Ming Zhujun. Sooner or later, this relationship will be exposed. In addition, there are two 'agents' in the base, so it is not surprising that Huaxia Zheng Axe knows.

"Who is this one?" Li Mo suddenly saw Li Guoqing beside him and didn't see him. And the age of the other party is not like Lei Zhen or Ding Huiqiang's subordinates.

Lei Zhen quickly introduced Li Guoqing's identity to Li Mo. He said with a smile, "Li Mo, Colonel Ding and I came to Africa this time to protect Minister Li. The copper mine in your hand is very important to the country.

Li Mo nodded and said, "Let's talk about these later. Let's go to the house first."

Everyone came to the reception room. After asking other people's opinions, Li Mo asked people to take the hands of Lei Zhen and others to rest. In the reception room, there were only the leaders of Li Mo and Huaxia.

"Minister Li, the mining right of the copper mine has been obtained, but the copper mine is not here, but in Gedo. It is currently under the control of the Somali Patriotic Movement. In addition, the copper mine is now controlled by a large local tribe. It can't be mined until we recover the copper mine!" Li Mo told several people about the copper mine. Let several people have a clear understanding of the copper mine.

The previous information sent by Tang Ya back to China also showed that the copper mine was not in Li Mo's hands at present. Therefore, Lei Zhen and others have no objection to this.

"You also know that I can't use force to recover this copper mine at present, so everything has to wait. Minister Li, after the cooperation is reached, I hope you can ship the smelting equipment as soon as possible. At the beginning, I promised the Somali political axe that the copper mine could only be mined after the plant and equipment were ready!"

About before he came, Li Guoqing got instructions from his superiors and agreed to Li Mo's words one by one. On the way, he also 'unintentionally' got information about Li Mo's real identity from Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang. Knowing that the Paramin cooking army controlled by Li Mo is at war with Kenya. This copper mine cannot be taken into account for the time being.

The matter about the copper mine was put down for the time being. Li Guoqing was also led by a soldier to rest, leaving Li Mo and three people in the reception room. He knew that the next conversation was the main purpose of Lei Zhen and his party coming to Africa.

Sure enough, the three of them seemed to talk about Kenya unintentionally. After the "tacit cooperation" between the two, Li Mo also knew that the relationship between Kenya's political axe and Huaxia is not as close as the outside world. As early as the 1960s, Kenya and China, due to ideological differences, Kenya first downgraded the embassy level of both sides from ambassadorial to agency, and later even closed the Kenyan embassy in China. All this did not gradually improve until after China's reform and opening up.

And, as a second-rate country in Africa. In terms of the international assistance that Kenya needs most, China can't give much support, and the UK, which provides the most aid and economic investment to Kenya, is gradually getting closer to Kenya. After the 21st century, Kenya took the initiative to move closer to the United States for the assistance of the United States, and the United States was also happy to see Kenya take the initiative to move closer to the East African region for its anti-terrorism strategy. Kenya, which is getting closer and closer to the Western world, is undoubtedly a little estranged from third world countries such as China. From the perspective of Kenya's political axe, he is 'close' to whoever can provide him with more economic assistance. The opposite is true. However, from Huaxia's position, Kenya, as the most developed industrial country in East Africa, has a low status in Africa. The alienation between such a country and China is unacceptable.

However, China is not as rich as the United States, and it is impossible to attract Kenya through large-scale economic assistance. From China's position, Kenya, which is gradually moving closer to Britain and the United States, is undoubtedly a destabilizing factor in China's Africa strategy. How to check and balance and even weaken Kenya's prestige in Africa, so that China will not be surprised by certain attitudes of Kenya's political axe when it is laid out in Africa. It has become a matter that needs to be considered at present.

The border conflict between the Palamin army and Kenya has undoubtedly made many Chinese senior officials see a trace of checks and balances and the possibility of weakening Kenya. Paraming Cooking Army under the leadership of Li Mo is a good choice. Of course, it is necessary to discuss with Li Mo before deciding how to do it. Another task of Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang's arrival is to make initial contact with Li Mo on this matter.
