Chapter 552 Insider

Palermo said some of his views again, and then looked directly into President Yusuf's eyes.

For him, this time it can be said that he completely revealed his thoughts. If he succeeds, it's okay. If he fails, he will definitely leave a thorn in President Yusuf's heart and affect the relationship between them.

"I also feel something about what you said. No wonder I always feel that there is an invisible diaphragm between me and Chief of Staff Hussein. Even if we have unconditionally supported them, it is always difficult for our relationship to become close comrades-in-arms. It seems that they still have a lot of scruples. Just like this cooperation with Iran, they didn't give us notice in advance. If I hadn't brazenly asked Chief of Staff about Hussein, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark. After a long time, You Sufu sighed. Several cronies in the room seemed to find that there was a slight change in the temperament of His Excellency the President, but it is impossible to say which changes were.

"Mr. President, in fact, we can all see that the Star Organization is not malicious to Somalia. The previous control of the army may be the means of self-protectance of these people. For so long now, I have not found that they have done anything unfavorable to Somalia. Instead, they have brought benefits to Somalia in many aspects and enhanced its popularity and influence. So I think we can treat those Chinese as compatriots now. Only in this way can we resolve their vigilance against us and pierce a hole in each other's diaphragm so that we can know what they want to do and what they can bring to Somalia. Palermo knew that Yusuf was moved by his proposal and quickly said with a hot iron.

Palermo sensed that the president's face was getting more and more relaxed, and continued, "It's up to me to do this matter. I'll discuss it with Chief of Staff of Hussein first to fully support the development of the Star Organization. This support can be included in all industries."

This sentence completely dispelled the last worry in Yusuf's heart. After all, he is the president of a country. It is still a little difficult for him to bow down and beg for the door in person, but with Palermo, as long as Chief of Staff of Staff Hussein takes over the olive branch, he can rest assured that he can directly contact Li Mo to make the two sides truly unite.

......

"Boss Li, let me introduce to you. These two are Brujedi and Masumifar, scientists from the Institute of Nuclear Energy of the Ministry of Industry of China. The two experts are the main leaders and participants in China's peaceful use of nuclear energy resources. After a few words with Li Mo, Major General Safavi briefly introduced the two old men on one side.

Li Mo narrowed his eyes, nodded to the two experts with a smile, and said, "Welcome the two experts to Somalia." In his mind, it runs at a high speed like a CPU. Although Major General Safavi is just a brief introduction, he deliberately aggravates the pronunciation of the words 'peaceful use of nuclear energy', but who is Li Mo? As soon as I heard it, I realized that these two people must be Iran's experts in charge of nuclear weapons research. Even if they are not the person in charge of Safavid, they have played a very important role in Iran's nuclear weapons research.

"Boss Li, a few days ago, Colonel Hardy sent your cooperation proposal back to China. After serious consideration by our country, we decided to carry out a certain degree of cooperation under the premise of increasing mutual understanding." Safavi also knew that what he said could not be hidden from the other party, and he did not intend to hide it from the other party. Because everyone knows each other very well and knows what's going on.

This time, he was authorized in China to understand the real purpose of the Star Organization. Is it true that, as Li Mo said, to cross the 'nuclear warning line' as the core, form an alliance to fight against the pressure of the Western world, especially the United States? The most important thing is the possible military pressure.

Although Iran knows that the Star Organization has gained huge benefits from the Japanese nuclear weapons base, it is still unknown whether it has the strength to turn these 'benefits' into its own and form combat effectiveness. Don't find that the Star Organization is just a paper tiger, which is useless at all. Iran will lose a lot of money. Not to mention wasting a lot of energy, it will also make some wrong foreign policies.

This is the meaning of Major General Safawi's "increasing mutual understanding". Iran's research on nuclear weapons has been in a confidential stage. Although there are some skeptical remarks and speculations, there is no conclusive evidence. Iran's political axe is also active in the United Nations, uniting a large number of Arab countries and Iran's close countries to prevent the United Nations Atomic Energy Agency from investigating Iran. The delay is mainly to prepare Iran for the development of nuclear weapons. As long as the nuclear weapons test is successful and Iran has deployed a batch of nuclear weapons, there is no need to cover it up. This is also the most dangerous time for Iran. This is also why Iran, which is clearly dissatisfied with Li Mo's threatening cooperation proposal, still passed a resolution to contact Li Mo.

If it hadn't been for the fox's preparation and reminding Li Mo that Major General Safavid would not have thought that Iran wanted to understand the strength of the strategic nuclear force of Star Organization at this moment. Now, Li Mo, who has been prepared for a long time, is not surprised to find that Iran has this meaning.

"The Major General Safawi, since it is a cooperation. It is necessary to deepen mutual understanding and communication. This time I brought Engineer Abick, the leader of the Star Organization Expert Group. I think the Abic engineer will have a common topic with two experts in your country. Li Mo said with a smile. The meaning of this is to agree with Iran's proposal to understand the nuclear forces of the Star Organization. If it is not facing the threat of al-Qaeda leaking the organization's secrets this time, it is absolutely impossible for Li Mo to "share" the strategic nuclear force with Iran. That's tantamount to exposing your card to Iran's eyes, which is greatly detrimental to the organization. However, compared with facing the retaliation of the United States alone, it is undoubtedly much more beneficial to the organization to show the pressure of Iran as an ally.

"Oh? That's great. I think it is necessary for Aesop to strengthen exchanges with each other as countries with the same Islamic faith, which is conducive to Islamic countries to help and learn from each other and not be oppressed by the Western world. Major General Safawi didn't expect Li Mo to be so talkative. Although he was a little confused, he was unwilling to give up this opportunity. He quickly smiled and responded while being at the two Iranian experts.

"Ebiq, take two experts from Iran to the secret room next door to have a good chat and increase mutual understanding." Li Mo pretended not to see Major General Safavi's small movements and told Abbyk.

When the three experts left, there were only Li Mo, Stone, Major General Safawi of Iran and Special Envoy Rumite left in the office.

It can be said that this is the focus of tonight's meeting, and several people's conversation is much more cautious, not as casual as just now.

"Boss Li, although our country is very interested in your proposal, we must know the real reason. I don't think Boss Li will hide some important details when dealing with allies. Envoy Rumimi and Major General Safavi exchanged a few glances at each other before asking seriously.

Although Iran is in urgent need of an ally, it is a reliable and powerful ally at critical times. But I don't want to be used casually. Cooperation is when both parties share interests or assume responsibilities. In Iran's view, Star is not in urgent need of reliable allies at present. Because Star Organization has the secrets of nuclear weapons, the outside world can be said to know nothing about it. Based on the Iranian authorities' analysis of Li Mo, without special changes and reasons, it is impossible for Li Mo to so eagerly win over Iran and tie Iran to a chariot. Because on the surface, once Star and Iran form an alliance, it must first be that Star will share the pressure for Iran. Because the outside world, especially the West, has suspected that Iran has secretly developed nuclear weapons, some countries even proposed to conduct a thorough investigation of Iran. Once clues are found to prove that Iran has developed nuclear weapons, measures should be taken against Iran. At this time, it is too late for some countries to clear their relations with Iran. How can they take the initiative to form an alliance? Unless the Star Organization itself has encountered a very important change, and it cannot be solved by itself. Iran's high-level analysis speculates that the possession of nuclear weapons by Star should have been leaked.

Li Mo knew that this matter could not be hidden sooner or later. If they thought about it from a different perspective, he would not easily make a decision on the cooperation sent to his door.

After getting the boss's signal, Stone explained, "some time ago, al-Qaeda came to us and offered to buy weapons-grade enriched uranium, but we refused."

Major General Safavi and the envoy Rumite took a breath when they heard the words. They even speculated whether there was a leak and defection within the Star Organization, but they didn't expect that it had something to do with Comrade Laden. Seriously speaking, there are many powerful people in Iran who have inextricably linked with al-Qaeda in private, and some people or organizations even have a close relationship with al-Qaeda. No matter how Iran's political axe treats these people or organizations, on the surface, Iran's political axe will never admit it. Because al-Qaeda is indeed a terrorist organization, a criminal group defined as a terrorist organization by most countries around the world. No matter from the political or diplomatic point of view, Iran, as a normal country, cannot have anything to do with terrorist organizations.

And now they are surprised to hear that there is a conflict between Star and al-Qaeda. If the reason for the conflict between the two sides is a small matter, Iran may be able to help solve it, but the core problem involves nuclear materials and even atomic bombs. Iran does not think it has the ability to force Comrade Laden or Star Organization to accept the conditions for reconciliation. Al-Qaeda will not easily give up the demand for atomic bombs, and it is impossible for Star to sell atomic bombs to terrorist organizations. There is no room for relaxation between the two sides, and conflict is inevitable.

"Is it news from the Taliban in Afghanistan?" Major General Safavi is very familiar with the relationship between Li Mo and the Taliban leader Omar. The batch of arms sent by Omar to Li Mo at the beginning passed through Iran. And he also knew that the nuclear material of the atomic bomb detonated by the Taliban came from the Star Organization, which is a pervasive network of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. It is not easy to know these inside stories, but it is not difficult.

"Well, the scientist who helped the Taliban make the atomic bomb has now joined al-Qaeda." The stone nodded.

Major General Safavi and Special Envoy Lumi were silent at the same time. They didn't expect that there was such a deep inside story.
