Chapter 577 Arms Procurement Case

The American political axe is about to intervene in the Soken war, like a heavy cloud shrouded in everyone's hearts. After the outbreak of the war, Li Mo expected many possible variables, but he never thought that the American political axe would jump out so impatiently, and if it didn't move, it would be a direct force deterrent.

An advanced missile destroyer of the U.S. Navy may be nothing, but its representative meaning is frightening.

Political oppression, economic blockade, and military intimidation are the magic weapons of the U.S. political axe to bully the weak. This time, the U.S. political axe actually crossed the first two means of 'peace' and directly used force to deter it. What does it mean? Do you see that Somalia is uncompromising in this matter, or do you not intend to use peaceful means to directly build momentum for military operations in advance?

"Brother Li, Huaxia also has its own difficulties. It is impossible to directly meet the United States at this time." Lei Zhen felt Li Mo's eyes and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

Whether the U.S. political axe dispatched the destroyer to see that something was wrong, it used force to force Somalia to stop, to prevent Somalia from freeing up its hands to counterattack Kenya and take over Somaliland; or the United States expected this from the beginning, the arrival of the missile destroyer was for the U.S. political axe against Somalia. Prepare for a military strike.

In the declaration of war in Soken, Kenya's political axe used an excuse that Li Mo and others were suspected of participating in the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Kenya last year. The American political axe is a 'victim', and there is every reason to intervene in the Sokken War. A missile destroyer may be just a gesture made by the American political axe, a gesture for the world. If Somalia does not hand over the suspect who is suspected of planning the terrorist attack of the U.S. Embassy in Kenya, the U.S. Ax can send more ships and other military forces to formally intervene in the Soken War on the grounds of fighting terrorists.

In the previous foreign propaganda of the United States, Somalia is a 'terrorist lair' country second only to Afghanistan. It is completely possible to plan to build the U.S. Embassy in Kenya and cause the death and injury of many U.S. citizens. Since '9.11', the American people have been afraid of terrorist organizations and terrorists, as well as their hatred. Any action of the U.S. political axe on counter-terrorism can win the support of the people.

In a conflict in which the American political axe is likely to directly use military means to intervene, the Chinese political axe generally remains neutral and verbally issues some condemnation statements and so on. It is very rare to send Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang here this time, suggesting that they can provide some help.

After all, the secret agreement between Huaxia Zheng Axe and Li Mo at the beginning was to secretly set up obstacles for Kenya, and did not rule out the use of force to cause losses to Kenya. At the beginning, when Li Mo used a meteor commando to secretly attack the U.S. embassy in Kenya, Huaxia Zheng Axe knew that Li Mo's move was for the agreement without any record.

Li Mo's attitude towards the Chinese political axe represented by Lei Zhen is not very disappointing. After all, the strength of the United States is so strong that anyone and organization will choose to protect themselves wisely in the face of this giant, unless it is time when it comes to their own life and death.

Fortunately, Li Mo has been prepared for the open conflict with the United States. In this society with the United States and other Western worlds as the mainstream, he wants to stand out and get his own world. In addition to relying on the Americans to hug the Americans' thick legs, he is to resist the Americans and break the sky under the control of the Americans.

"Lei, I want to know how much support Huaxia can give to Somalia?" Li Mo calmed down and asked. If the current dilemma can be solved by conventional means, Li Mo does not want to use the last resort. Because once it comes to the end, the ending is unpredictable. Even he can't guarantee whether the American political axe will choose to throw a mouse.

Lei Zhen smiled and said, "Li Mo, you know that it is not easy for the country to show its attitude publicly, and some help can only be done secretly. You have to understand this. There are many opinions on this matter in China, and the opinions have not been completely unified so far. If you need any help, you can put it forward, and the country will satisfy you as appropriate. Lei Zhen didn't say anything. After all, he was just an executor and had no decision-making power. If Li Mo opens his mouth, and Huaxia does not promise in the end, it will have an impact on the relationship between the two sides.

"I need missiles, anti-aircraft missiles. Like Red Flag-7, Red Flag-15, if possible, I want Huaxia Zheng Axe to provide us with a batch of fighters, J-10 and J-11.

"Hist..." Two inhalation sounds came from the office. Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang both stared at Li Mo with big eyes incredulously.

Red Flag-7 is the most advanced low-altitude process anti-aircraft missile currently equipped by the Chinese Field Army. It is based on the French rattlesnake anti-aircraft missile. Its improved model can effectively defend helicopters, aircraft and cruise missiles from 0.7 kilometers to 15 kilometers and less than 6,000 meters.

Red Flag-15 is the introduction of Russia's most advanced surface-to-air missile S-300 weapon system, with a maximum range of 90 kilometers and a shooting height of 30 kilometers. The main combat targets are cruise missiles, tactical ballistic missiles, early warning aircraft, electronic interference aircraft, etc. It is one of the most advanced surface-to-air missile weapon systems in the world, and the United States The national Patriot missile weapon system has the same surname.

Needless to say, J-10 and J-11 are all the most advanced fighters equipped by Huaxia at present. Even the Chinese army itself is not fully equipped. Li Mo really opened his mouth, and all he wanted were advanced things.

Ding Huiqiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, looked at Li Mo like a ghost and said, "I'm good, Li Mo, do you know what weapons you want? The missiles are better, but the fighter plane itself is not equipped with much. Especially the J-11B, the country has no intention to export it at present.

Lei Zhen's smile was also a little unnatural, and he felt that Li Mo was lacking in his heart. Those weapons are all advanced in China, and the price of each is in tens of millions of dollars. It is impossible for Huaxia political axe to be provided to Li Mo for free. Because the small number of these weapons does not work at all, and the total value is an astronomical figure when the number is large.

"Isn't it money?" Li Mo said carelessly, "I remember that the J-10 was a fighter jet used by China for export, with a price of 27 million US dollars. I purchased 16 aircraft on behalf of the Somali National Defense Force, and surface-to-air missiles are not prohibited weapons. I think as long as I pay, the country will not disagree, right?"

The unit price of 16 J-10 fighters is 27 million US dollars, including medium-range air-to-air missiles, with a total value of about 4.3 US dollars. Star Company doesn't have that much money at all. But don't forget that Li Mo also owns 20% of Mudege's large oil field. In addition, these fighters will be assigned to the Somali Air Force, and the political axe will also contribute half of the capital. The allocation to Li Mo is only more than 200 million US dollars.

"You can report my idea to China and use the shares of Mudege Oilfield as collateral to purchase at least one fighter squadron of the number of J-10 fighters and one missile battalion for each of the two surface-to-air missiles. But I have another request, that is, I need to get these weapons within three months. Li Mo said in a low voice.

Get at least 16 fighters in three months, which is almost impossible in ordinary arms procurement cases. Even in China, taking Shucheng Aircraft Factory as an example, it can only produce two J-10s in a month. The amount Li Mo needs is almost the number of aircraft factory's production in a year. Moreover, the third-generation fighter like the J-10 must be sold by the Chinese military in a certain proportion, that is, part of the production of the [***] team's fighters, and some of which are used to produce export models. If Huaxia Zheng Axe agrees to Li Mo's procurement, then the only way is to be from active service in China. Take out a part of the fighter for modification and then sell it to Li Mo.

This kind of procurement is usually impossible to achieve, but now the situation is different. If China wants to give Li Mo help to prevent Li Mo from being driven out of Somalia by the United States, it has to make some very different decisions.

Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang left with Li Mo's purchase book. As for whether the domestic bosses will agree, it is not something they can influence.

Li Mo and the other two left without resting, but gathered experts and Stone to discuss the possible direct military intervention of the United States.

After hearing that a U.S. missile destroyer would arrive in Somali waters to use force to deter Somalia, experts and stones showed a shocked expression. No one in the world can face the face of the strong military pressure of the United States.

The power of the United States has been engraved into the bone marrow of the people of the earth in countless wars and conflicts. Somalia's current strength and Kenya, which are not ranked in the world, still need to go all out to fight. In the face of the world's largest military power, it is difficult to describe the gap.

"Boss, I think it is a good way for us to strengthen our strength in a very short time to purchase arms from Huaxia, but even if Huaxia agrees, it will have to wait three months to deliver this batch of arms to us. With our economic strength, the purchase of so many arms is almost our limit, but it is still seriously insufficient to fight against the United States. Stone, as the person in charge of the military, is too clear about the details of the Somali Defence Force. Not to mention the innate inadequacy, the foundation for development is not solid. Compared with a country like the United States that has dominated for nearly a hundred years, it is as weak as a baby.

Li Mo smiled bitterly. As a young man who aspires to become the world's arms giant, how can he be willing to develop his strength by purchasing his [***] fire? This is a shame. But the military power of the United States is like a heavy mountain in his heart, which makes him almost breathless. Without this method to strengthen his strength as much as possible, Li Mo can only end up like Saddam and Omar.

"If only... if a major event suddenly happened in the world, a major event that is enough to change the world pattern." The expert smoked a cigarette with his head. After a long time, he sighed vaguely.

However, it was this sentence that made Li Mo's eyes gradually light up, and some memories of his previous life seemed to appear in his mind.
