Chapter 957 If you don't want to, you can't do it

In the Kurdish mountains of northern Iraq, a 'predator' drone is patrolling the territory at an altitude of 4,000 meters.

As a new combat method of anti-guerrilla warfare, the UAV is a kind of equipment that the U.S. [***] team uses more and more in the conflict, and the 'predator' UAV has a long stagnation time. High-resolution optical instruments and synthetic aperture radar can ensure the all-weather capability of this UAV.

Suddenly, the drone caught a suspicious signal and quickly transmitted the captured information back to the center of the drone system 200 kilometers away.

Under the remote control of ground personnel, the 'Predator' drone launched a 'Helfa' heavy anti-tank missile to the suspected cave just found.

"Boom!"

The suspicious cave was immediately collapsed by the missile, and the splashing rubble rolled down. When the dust and smoke dissipated, there was still a shadow of the hole there? The drone soon swayed its slender body and continued to look for the next suspicious place that might be used to hide the anti-American guerrillas.

From the scene where the drone found and launched the missile, it was really seen by people in another cave not far away.

Faisal looked at a man in his thirties beside him with a solemn face and said, "It seems that the Americans are very determined to destroy you!"

The scene just now can be said to be a microcosm of the U.S. military's anti-guerrilla war against rats.

Don't you like to hide in the deep mountains and forests? I will fill all the mouse holes.

Although this method may not be so effective, the Iraqi U.S. military does not want to have heavy casualties, and it is a helpless move in this way.

"Americans who are afraid of death!" In this cave, another Arab in his thirties curled his lips and said.

Jappur was originally going to speak, but when he heard it at this moment, he immediately smiled and echoed, "The Yankees are also advanced in weapons. Without advanced weapons, those white people are the most afraid of death."

At this time, the curled man smiled with satisfaction, as if Jabur's echo made him happy.

Generally speaking, Jabur is also a relatively important figure under Saddam, but now it is not the period when Saddam took control of Iraq. At that time, Jabur had an 'official position'. Now he is at most a guerrilla backbone, not the kind of war, but a civilian.

"Mr. Ibrahim, it is because the Yankees are afraid of death that we want to show them a little color, don't we?" Faisal said with a smile.

This Mr. Ibrahim is none other than anyone else. Is it Kadir, the father of Pakistan's nuclear bomb? Khan's assistant, in Kadir? After Khan was placed under house arrest by the Pakistani military, it was he who struggled to maintain the last foundation of the 'underground nuclear supermarket' in Dubai.

This time, it is Somalia pulling the line from the middle to let Saddam and Kadir? Sweat contact and cooperation. An ambitious hero who is unwilling to the status quo, and a fearless 'nuclear supermarket owner'. What kind of changes will the cooperation between the two bring to the world?

"Sirs, let's go first. The Yankee drone has left." Jabur said after looking at the sky outside through the cracks in the hole blocked by stones.

Three people plus two five bodyguards brought by Ibrahim, they came out of the hole, and then blocked the stone. They carefully avoided the possible American plane reconnaissance and walked deep into the Kurdish mountains.

... "Yo... I said Commander Li, you were not like this before. I remember that you always complained about the lack of funds in the past, but now the big business is sent to your door. It seems that you are not very happy to listen to your tone?" After waiting for Fan Qingqing to go out, Ding Huiqiang said arrogantly with his legs on the coffee table.

Li Mo couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words. He pointed to Ding Huiqiang and said helplessly, "Lao Ding, Ding military officer, Comrade Ding! I don't seem to have said that the 'Shenhawk' fighter can be exported, right? Moreover, do you know how long it will take to deliver one hundred and fifty Eagle fighters?

Although Li Mo believes that with the surname of the 'Shen Eagle' fighter, a country like China must be willing to spend a lot of money to buy back the army and study it slowly. Not to mention the rest, how Somalia has solved the nuclear radiation problem of nuclear reactors is of great value.

This is different from nuclear submarines, which are equipped with thick lead plates to prevent nuclear radiation leakage from causing damage to people's bodies. This is a fighter, which looks so 'small'. Without epoch-making technology, how can Somalia ensure the safety of pilots and the weight of aircraft?

Over the years, after the introduction of imitation to research, China has gradually been at the world's advanced level in many aspects. However, a power system has dragged down many military enterprises in China. If China can master the technology of 'safe ultra-small nuclear reactors', it is no less than an industrial revolution for China. And technology take off.

It is because of the importance that China has paid a lot of costs. For example, during the confrontation between the Third Economic Organization and the United States in the Persian Gulf, it ignored the opposition of the United States to export J-10 fighters to Somalia, and those fighters are all active equipment used by the Chinese Air Force, and even the money to buy fighter planes is Let Li Moxian owe it.

In addition, the export of some strategic resources such as rare earths, under the economic sanctions and trade blockade of the West, China has increased its import and export trade volume with Somalia, etc., which is the price paid. Ding Huiqiang often came to the door for a while during this period, not just to make Li Mo open his mouth to allow the 'God Eagle'. The exit of the fighter?

Coupled with the various connections between Li Mo and Huaxia, the senior management of Huaxia feels that it is very possible for Li Mosongkou to export the "Shenying" fighter to China.

Seeing that Ding Huiqiang still looked disapproving, Li Mo knew that this guy probably had no feelings for money.

"I'll calculate it for you. Even if it is exported at the price in my heart, if Huaxia purchases so many fighters at a time, it will take at least two years and nearly 50 billion US dollars." Li Mo lighted a cigarette and said, and then threw the cigarette box to Ding Huiqiang.

Ding Huiqiang's face also changed when he heard the number of '50 billion US dollars'. Even if he had no idea about money, he knew how much 50 billion US dollars was. Although Huaxia's foreign exchange reserves exceed two trillion US dollars, they are all marketable securities, treasury bonds and so on. Will the "American uncle" who owe money allow Huaxia to withdraw 50 billion yuan to buy "Shen Eagle" fighters from Somalia?

"Commander Li, I remember that's not what it was written in the plan, right? It seems to buy 50 from you, and then buy a production license to produce 100 in China. And as you said, two years, for such a long time, even if it takes 50 billion, our country can get it. When Ding Huiqiang said this, he obviously lacked confidence. That's 50 billion, not 5 billion. You should know that China's military expenditure today is more than 80 billion US dollars. 50 billion yuan accounts for more than half of the military expenses. Did you buy a plane and let two million troops drink the northwest wind?

Unless it is a special allocation from the national finance, such a large amount of arms procurement cannot be done simply. There is no such money in the budget. If you want to take out this money, you have to reduce other budgets, which must involve various interest entanglements.

This does not take into account the pressure and obstruction of foreign countries.

Li Mo shook his head slightly and said, "Oh, let me tell you the truth. It's not just a matter of money." Li Mo is very clear about why the United States now knows that the Somali 'Eagle' fighter has surpassed the 'raptor'. But there is no real determination to completely destroy Somalia's industrial base, or even grab the "Shawk" fighter technology? Are you afraid of Somalia's nuclear weapons? If that's the case, the United States will not be the United States.

That's because the United States understands that with Somalia's industrial strength and financial conditions, it is impossible to equip such advanced fighters on a large scale. Although a few dozens of fighters can keep Somalia superior in local conflicts, they cannot replace the comprehensive national strength gap between Somalia and the United States.

The 'Godhawk' fighter can be one for ten, but can it be one for one for one? You have 20, I don't send 200, I send 2,000 fighters, even a pile can kill you.

It has mastered advanced fighter technology, but has no matching industrial potential. In the eyes of the United States, Somalia is not as threatening as a country like China.

But once Somalia has the idea and motivation to spread the "Shawk" fighter technology, the United States may take risks.

This is also the reason why Li Moji refused to speak out of the 'Eagle' fighter. Otherwise, he will export the fighter technology to other member states of the Third OECD and help them set up production lines. The air confrontation in the Persian Gulf is believed to end soon.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

Before the emergence of anti-matter technology, a truly epoch-making technology, Li Mo was still careful to walk on thin ice and dare not let the United States really make up its mind to attack Somalia, so that Li Mo's everything is now in vain.

But can he say these words to Ding Huiqiang? A kind of 'divine eagle' fighter technology can make Huaxia show goodwill, and even attract it at no cost. But when the antimatter technology is known by Huaxia, will the attitude of Huaxia's political axe be like this? It can be said that once antimatter technology is used in practice, what kind of impact will it have on the existing scientific and technological system? At that time, Huaxia may not want to share anti-matter technology from Li Mo, but to kill Somalia.

Ding Huiqiang didn't know that Li Mo had thought so much for such a while. He thought that Li Mo was an excuse that he was unwilling to say it and deliberately looked for.

"Well, I'll think about it." Li Mo smiled bitterly in his heart, and finally had to choose to delay. "Take your plan back and let them make a practical one. I'll give you an answer when I think it clearly."
