Chapter 876 Arrival in Libya
The next day, Taris, deputy commander-in-chief of the General Command of the Syrian Armed Forces, had a secret meeting with Li Mo again. The meeting was held at Li Mo's residence, and there was no third person except for two people.
The content of this meeting began to involve the content of 'substantial surname'. Taris put forward the idea of purchasing long-range missiles from Somalia to strengthen Syria's long-range strike capability.
At this time, Li Mo suddenly realized that what President Bashar didn't say yesterday should have something to do with this matter.
Within the Third OECD, among several other countries except Libya, North Korea has the strongest long-range strike capability (missile), followed by Iran, followed by Somalia, and the strongest Syrian is the mechanized force, with up to 4,600 tanks, of which more than 1,000 T-72 tanks. . However, the long-range strike capability is the weakest. Syria still has no missile that can strike 1,000 kilometers away.
Somali missiles began to come from Iran, that is, the later developed Sky 1 missile with a range of 1,800 kilometers. Later, after absorbing the missile technology of China and Ukraine, the Sky 11 missile with a range of 3,500 kilometers was developed.
Why did Syria choose to purchase missiles in Somalia? Because Somalia is different from the other two countries, Somalia has Li Mo and Star Group. Many people have seen that Li Mo actually has a very "enlightenment" attitude towards arms sales. Unlike arms purchases between most other countries, political factors account for a large part. Purchasing here from Li Mo, unless it is a directly opposite country, as long as you pay, there is nothing you can't sell.
Taris first expressed his desire to purchase Sky 11 missiles. As a Mediterranean coastal country, once Syria has Sky 11 missiles, the whole Europe will be within her range of attack, not to mention Israel. At that time, Syria's external deterrence capabilities will be further improved, which can effectively enhance Syria's 'influence' in the Middle East.
However, Li Mo thought about it and refused, because the Sky 11 missile was not equipped in Somalia. Secondly, the sale of such long-range missiles also faces greater pressure. And Somalia has no precedent for selling Sky 11.
So Li Mo proposed that the Sky 1 missile could be sold to Syria, because Libya had secretly purchased 8 Sky 1 missiles from Somalia. It's just that because of the extremely secret of the transaction, there is little news from the outside world.
Taris didn't expect Li Mo to agree. Although it is not the expected Sky 11, Sky 1 is enough for the current Syria. Double the attack distance in Syria. And with the precedent of this cooperation, will it be far away to buy Sky 11 next time?
Subsequently, the two sides once again reached an agreement on the 'Sparrow' helicopter procurement bill, and Syria will purchase 12 'Sparrow A' helicopters from Somalia. Because of the old rival 'Israel'. In addition to the Air Force, the most powerful is the Mevaka tank.
One is a tank that puts protection ability first, and the other is an armed helicopter that puts protection ability first. Li Mo is also looking forward to who will win and who will lose in the conflict.
After the visit to Syria, Li Mo was quite happy. Although there are no orders of more than $1 billion in Syria as in Iran, there are also orders of $300 million. Li Mo even thought that if he could get so many orders when he visited abroad, would he go all over the world in the future?
But he also knows that it is impossible. There are many reasons for this arms sale. On the one hand, it is also a political need, and on the other hand, because of the recent unstable situation in the region, some countries have begun to make corresponding preparations.
Sitting on a special plane to Tripoli, the capital of Libya, the little girl was biting her ear with Fan Qingqing. However, from the shame she occasionally glanced at Li Mo, she knew that if the two women got together to chat, it must involve the privacy of the boudoir.
In Tripoli, the receptionists sent by Libya are also acquaintances. The leader is Ali, member of the Libyan General Defense Council and commander of the Revolutionary Guard. Abdullah?? Colonel Monzil, and Libya's most valued second son, Saif? Arab? Gaddafi and the sixth son, Khames? Gaddafi and so on.
Although Gaddafi himself did not come, he came with his cronies and relatives, which shows the importance attached to Li Mo's visit.
In the manor on the outskirts of Tripoli, Li Mo first had a brief meeting with Commander Monzier. Then the other party left first, while Gaddafi's second son, Saif, stayed.
"Commander Li, is there anything you are dissatisfied with the arrangement of your residence? My father specially said hello. If you need anything, you're welcome. You can tell me directly. Saif is more than ten years older than Li Mo, but in front of Li Mo, he is very polite and modest, even like a junior.
Li Mo looked at the 'future successor' most valued by Gaddafi with a smile and shook his head slightly, "Thank you for Mr. Gaddafi's kindness, but the arrangement here is very good. I'm very satisfied."
This is Gaddafi's private manor, which is usually impossible to entertain foreign guests, but now arranging Li Mo here is equivalent to a very good show. If Li Mo is not satisfied, it will be on his face. What's more, Li Mo really doesn't care much about what he enjoys, and this is not Somalia. If he wants to enjoy it, he can go back to Somalia to enjoy it.
Saif just said that what he needed was a reason to open the topic with Li Mo.
"Commander Li, my father is in a meeting to discuss some problems in the eastern region. I'm afraid I won't be able to receive you for the time being, so don't mind. My father prepared a dinner party in the evening, and I will pick you up in person. Seeing that Li Mo seemed to have no desire to speak, Saif stopped the words in his stomach, said something painless and left.
"Guck, brother-in-law, that guy is so funny. Obviously, there was something wrong, but in the end, I invited you to dinner... The little girl was still a little tired, but when she saw Saifu's appearance, she suddenly returned to her body, afraid of smiling on Li Mo's shoulder.
"Don't talk nonsense." Li Mo turned his head and stared. Although he was not worried that the other party would hear it, it was always not good to discuss others behind their backs.
The little girl quit and snorted, "When you were in Syria, didn't you also talk about others behind their backs? Only state officials are allowed to set fire, and the people are not allowed to light lamps.
Li Mo couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, and he didn't bother to argue. He suddenly said, "Tingting, the situation here is unstable. Don't go out casually. I can't explain to your sister if someone will tie you up at that time.
When she was in Damascus, the girl sneaked out when Li Mo and Taris secretly met, almost killing Fan Qingqing. Later, the lost girl was found with the help of the Syrian police. Although there was no news from the outside world, Li Mo was worried for a long time after the event.
The public security environment in Damascus is much better than here. Libya's current internal contradictions are in a state to be stimulated. According to the intelligence of the Ministry of Intelligence, Libya is very likely to find a civil war.
So Li Mo was vaccinated again, otherwise there was really an accident. Li Yanran didn't say anything. Even Li Mo himself regretted that there was no place to say it.
Li Yuting spit out her tongue and muttered, "Isn't it because you don't go shopping with me?"
Fan Qingqing, who had just come out of the shower, also shook his head secretly when he heard this sentence.
That night, at the presidential palace, Li Mo and Gaddafi's family had an Islamic dinner again.
After dinner, Fan Qingqing and Li Yuting were pulled aside by Gaddafi's wife and daughter. In a small living room, several men sat together.
Except for Li Mo, who is an outsider, the rest are Gaddafi's family. So Li Mo's initial conversation was a little unnatural. After Gaddafi found this, he motioned to several 'unimportant' sons to go out. Only the second son Saif and Liu's son Hamis are left. These two people know Li Mo and are also relatively capable.
"Li, first of all, congratulations on your great harvest in Iran and Syria." Gaddafi smiled and said that every country was watching Li Mo's visit abroad. Some news will always come out, such as the arms purchase cooperation reached by several countries.
Speaking of which, Gaddafi also has to admire Li Mo for the accuracy of timing. If it weren't for this time, when the 'color revolution' was sweeping the Arab region of the Middle East, it would not be so easy to take down these two orders. After all, there are many arms companies that have more advantages than Star Group.
However, the arms business is also somewhat the same as ordinary business. The more you need it, the more people will talk to you. Li Mo's arms sales will not have other political requirements, and the products have been tested in several countries. Others will naturally save some trouble at this time to facilitate the achievement of arms sales.
Some time ago in Somalia, Gaddafi and Li Mo had just reached a private agreement on the development and use of civil nuclear technology. For Gaddafi, civil nuclear energy is not an urgent need. What he needs is Libyan scientists to master more and more complete 'nuclear technology' in cooperation, so Gaddafi needs to invest in cooperation, that is, to pay. What Li Mo needs is the extension, improvement and upgrading of nuclear technology research. However, there was a lack of funds, so they hit it up with Gaddafi. Under the guise of "civil nuclear technology" cooperation, the two sides achieved their own goals.Think about it, nearly 10 billion US dollars will be invested in this cooperation. Gaddafi is very heartbroken. This is the money earned by the Gaddafi family for decades of holding the Libyan economy. But when he thought of the current situation in Libya, he gritted his teeth and decided. After all, money can be earned again, and there is no such opportunity every time.
"Business, we all pay attention to win-win. Naturally, it is easy to achieve what you and I want. Li Mo said modestly.
