Chapter 829 Launching a satellite or a missile test?

In early February 2009, a report on the social situation in the North Africa-Middle East was sent to Li Mo's desk. The comprehensive economic, political and social surname intelligence report by the Ministry of Intelligence covering the Central and North Africa-Middle East Arab region finally pointed out that major changes may occur in the northwestern Africa region in the near future.

"Qingqing, submit this report to the Third OECD Council in the name of Somalia, and then send a copy to the General Staff, the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

After Li Mo reviewed the report, Fan Qingqing, the secretary he called, handed the report to her and gave her a command.

Regarding Wang Ning's report, Li Mo had a hunch that although the political situation in many areas had not changed when he was reborn, as Li Mo now, he can often see the turbulent waves on the calm surface of these areas from many intelligence information.

These contradictions and problems are not only internal in many regions, but also external, not only now and recently, but also caused by historical reasons.

In the Islamic State, many countries have similar political axes and leaders for various reasons, and these countries have left great hidden dangers in economic structure, political system and foreign policy for some reasons. At the beginning, this hidden danger was still very slight, even for a region. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages. However, with the passage of time, the accumulation of internal contradictions, the guidance and interference of external forces, when they reach a peak, it is easy to erupt like a volcano.

Such an explosive force is very fierce and powerful, and can even change the situation in and around the region.

Li Mo feels that Somalia's accumulated strength is not strong enough, and its political prestige in the world is not enough. What is not only dormant, but sometimes it also needs to express its existence in some international affairs.

The changes in the North Africa-Arab region are also closely related to Somalia. At this time, Somalia cannot be left alone.

But with the strength of a country in Somalia, it is obviously difficult to play much role in this upcoming turmoil. So the team role of the Third OECD was shown.

After Fan Qingqing went out for half an hour, he walked into the office again.

"Xiao Mo, this is a fax from the Ministry of National Defense. Uganda's defense minister will pay a three-day friendly visit to China three days later, that is, on February 6. The Minister of Defense Palermo asked you if there was anything you need to explain about this friendly visit?

Li Mo was surprised for a moment, and as a result, he took a look at the fax. It was indeed the schedule of the visit of the Minister of Defense of Uganda.

Li Mo is not very impressed with Uganda, but he also knows that this country once stabilized the situation in Somalia during the civil war, at least it played a very important role in slowing down the deterioration of the situation in Somalia. Although there are political and other reasons, Uganda has helped Somalia anyway.

Unlike the current situation in Somalia, Uganda itself has many 'rebels' in the northern region and has been disturbed by the Western world. After several cuts in the country's military strength, although the quality of soldiers is very high, it is already a little backward in equipment and training.

It can be seen from the fax that the Ugandan Minister of Defense visited the formation of the Star Group's special machinery factory. Uganda's political axe probably intended to purchase arms from Somalia.

Whether emotionally or in terms of interests, Li Mo felt that he should treat the Uganda delegation well.

"At that time, I will be accompanied by an expert. If I have time, I will also come to receive you in person. And... If Uganda has the intention to purchase arms, you can ask experts to give discounts at their discretion. Li Mo thought for a moment and said.

According to the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, the Uganda's defense minister visits Somalia. If there is no special need to meet with the Somali high-level officials, it is generally received by the defense minister. However, if the relationship between the two sides is good, it is okay to send higher-level leaders to receive them, but this is very rare.

After Fan Qingqing went out, Li Mo opened a drawer under his desk and took out a green document bag from it.

This file bag is the drawing and software system of the 'Whitefly' 3M-80 anti-ship missile delivered from the Jinjibar mouse.

In order to ensure the safety of transportation on the road, Li Mo specially ordered He Xiaoqiang to take two meteor team members to Jinjibar. On the sea, the whole process was monitored by the military radar monitoring system. In the northern military region, there were even two air force fighters on standby at any time.

All this is because the technical information of this missile is too precious. Although the scientific research department of Star Group now has several missile technical experts from Ukraine, it is okay for them to slowly study and participate in the design of missiles, and it is impossible for them to directly take out the complete technical information of an advanced missile in a short time.

is the chief engineer responsible for the development and design of a missile, and it is impossible to memorize all the technical data of the missile without preparation.

The technology of the 'white dragonfly' missile is not very advanced from now on, but ordinary countries really can't make it. In particular, the follow-up model of the 'Whitefly' missile, that is, the famous NATO code-named 'Yushi Missile', is the representative work of the medium-range anti-ship missile.

Although it is not as capable of hitting aircraft carriers as the 'basalt' heavy missile, it is the most suitable weapon for Somalia and a much-needed weapon for most countries with navies.

After all, the 'basalt' missiles were originally loaded on cruisers, and the carriers of the 'scoring missiles' can be used by destroyers, frigates and large missile boats, and the scope of operations is much wider.

Li Mo called He Xiaoqiang and ordered him to send the document bag to Anli in the Aviation Industrial Park in person and hand it over to the Missile Research Center for research.

After all this, Li Mo stretched out, lit a cigarette, and thought of another thing, that is, what the mouse said about what happened on the council of the underground arms dealers alliance.

Li Mo didn't think of this in advance. He knew for a long time that there was an agent in the underground arms black market, that was Clooney. But he never thought that the American political axe would use this method to attack the Star Group and attack him Li Mo.

I have to say that the plan of the American political axe is to hit Li Mo's seven inches. Star Group now accounts for a very small share in the international legal arms trade, and it is still a new newcomer. The Star Group's fame in the international arms industry really started after it revealed the Golden Eagle attack aircraft to the outside world at the National Day military parade last year.

At that time, Star Group, which mastered laser anti-missile technology, was really attracted by international forces. However, in the world, there are countless companies that have mastered one or several advanced technologies, and Star Group has been valued for its special background and the military use of laser anti-missile technology. But this does not represent those international arms giants and giants who regard Star Group as an opponent. To put it hard, Star Group is not qualified.

There is no reputation in the international arms market, and there are no main products, so the survival and development of Star Group and the profits from the underground arms trade are important pillars to support Star Group. If the underground arms trade is hit, it can really hurt Li Mo.

From this incident, Li Mo saw the immaturity of many previous actions, such as joining the underground arms dealer alliance council, which is an immature manifestation. Li Mo felt that he was too anxious and overestimated the ability of Star Group to expand and resist external pressure.

The foundation is so high that the foundation is unstable, which is the lesson given to Li Mo by the council.

So Li Mo intends to withdraw from that council for the time being. As for the underground arms dealers controlled and influenced by the U.S. political axe, Li Mo is not too afraid. As they said, the African market still has great potential. The underground arms sales network of the Somali Star Group accounts for only one-tenth of the underground arms trade in Africa.

Star Group can take this opportunity to give up or shrink back its unstable business and run it wholeheartedly in Africa.

In Africa, Star Group also has several major customers, such as Libya and Angola, and Uganda's visit to Somalia also has the intention to buy arms, which proves that in the legal arms trade, Star Group's products are also increasingly valued by the national political axe.

Li Mo can imagine that after the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition, Star Group's reputation in the international arms industry will further improve, and more customers will like Star Group.

At that time, it may be the sales market of Star Group, from the underground arms black market to the legal procurement between national political axes.

This is what an international arms giant should have. An arms dealer on the underground arms black market will not have much climate, just like the 'death businessman' Victor? Bute, how powerful he was in the underground arms market at the beginning, he was not a pure underground arms dealer. He also had very close cooperation with Moscow, Britain and the United States and other political axes, and in the end, he was not calculated.

After thinking about this, Li Mo felt that his heart was much smoother, and those that hindered and curbed his development no longer made Li Mo feel scrupulous.

"Boss, there is just news that North Korea successfully launched the second artificial satellite 'Light Star 2'. This test communication satellite has safely entered a predetermined orbit in space 18 minutes ago. Many ground and space monitoring stations around the world have confirmed the real name of this news, and we have confirmed the real name from Iran and North Korea. The relevant aspects have been confirmed.

Li Mo, who was in a good mood, was soon stunned by a sudden phone call.

"Wang Ning, do you confirm that it is an artificial satellite rather than a missile test?" Li Mo grabbed the phone and asked.

If Li Mo remembers well, North Korea is now testing the improved model of 'Dapudong 2', an intercontinental ballistic missile with a three-stage ** propulsion range of 10,000 kilometers.

"It's a satellite, not a missile test." Wang Ning replied in an affirmative tone on the phone.
