Chapter 188 Afghanistan

Afghanistan, the full name is the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. It is a landlocked country located in south-central Asia.

This country with an area of 650,000 square kilometers happens to be in the heart of Eurasia. It is not only the key point connecting Eurasia and the Middle East, but also a necessary place for major powers to go east and west. It is adjacent to China, Pakistan and Iran.

The special geographical location has not brought Singapore-like rapid development to this country. On the contrary, because of the importance of geographical location, it has caused the armed entry of the world's major countries one after another.

From the invasion of Afghanistan by the former Soviet Union in 1979 to its withdrawal in 1989. The various bravery of the factions in resisting the Soviet invasion did not retain, but fell into a civil war for power and profit. Until 1994, the Taliban emerged and seized more than 90% of the land of Afghanistan and completely and firmly ruled the whole of Afghanistan.

The leader of the Taliban regime is Omar, a son of a farmer from a poor family. In the anti-Soviet invasion, he received the support of the United States and started with a team of 800 students to control the whole of Afghanistan and become the leader of Islamic rule in Afghanistan. However, the good times did not last long. As the strategic position of the Afghan region became more and more important, after the Cold War, the United States regarded the Afghan region as one of the three strategic control areas in order to realize the global strategic plan.

Looking back on history, in 1985, Brzezins, an American strategic expert, in his book Competition Plan: A Geostrategic Program for Competition between the United States and the Soviet Union, declared that the strategic interests of the United States are concentrated on three fronts: first, the European front, and the focus of the struggle with the Soviet Union is concentrated in Eastern Europe. The most critical countries are Poland and West Germany, the second is the Far East front. The focus of the struggle is on Japan, China and the Korean Peninsula, and the most critical regions are South Korea, the Philippines and Taiwan. The third is the far west front, with strategic locations in Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan.

After the end of the Cold War, in order to achieve global hegemony, the United States counted its main enemies as the Islamic world, China and Russia.

And the '9.11' incident gives the United States the most appropriate excuse. Launch a global attack in the name of counter-terrorism.

In order to achieve this goal, the United States has used the Taliban regime, which has been gradually out of control, as a terrorist organization to shelter terrorists. Military infiltration was carried out in Afghanistan.

Three years have passed now. The Taliban regime has collapsed, from a legitimate political axe to a guerrilla force. In the world, because of the strong propaganda of the United States, it has become an organization that shields terrorists, and its reputation has been greatly reduced.

Li Mo took He Xiaoqiang and four other meteor members to fly directly to Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, in the northwest. He has agreed with the arms dealer Michael to meet in Kabul to discuss the details of Michael's huge plan.

What he didn't know was that after Li Mo booked a flight to Afghanistan. The national security department got the news. Tang Ya and Fan Qingqing reported the news to Lei Zhen as soon as possible, and Lei Zhen reported it to their superiors and asked them to coordinate the intelligence personnel stationed in Afghanistan to 'pay attention'. Tang Ya and Fan Qingqing took another flight to Afghanistan.

Before the plane landed, Li Mo looked through the window at the strange city below. A big river divides Kabul into two urban areas in the north and south. In the sky, most of the buildings in the North District are new and luxurious. The palaces and officials' mansions and mosques shine in the sun. The urban area in the south of Kabul is much dilapidated. One is the aristocratic area and the other is the poor area.

Out of the airport, Li Mo and his party took a taxi to the Kabul Hotel.

Half an hour later, two Orientals hurried into the Kabul Hotel and soon came outside Li Mo's room. After knocking on the door, a young man opened the door and saw two Orientals outside. There was a smile in his eyes and he sideways signaled them to go in.

When the mouse and the poisonous snake entered the living room, they saw Li Mo smoking on the sofa. He walked to the boss carefully and respectfully and said with one voice, "Boss, we are coming!"

Li Mo turned his head and looked at the two, pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down!"

When the two sat down, Li Mo continued to ask, "How long have you two been here?"

The poisonous snake looked at the mice around him and then replied, "We have been here for three days and have seen Michael."

Afghanistan is different from other places. It is similar to Iraq. Terrorist attacks are often carried out. This time Li Mo came here in person, and the senior management of the Star Organization was a little scared. After all, if you are not careful here, you will get it. All kinds of strange attacks make people unable to defend against them. So this time for Li Mo's safety. Experts, Stone and others unanimously decided to let the members of the meteor commandos guarding the base come to a detachment, plus the four people brought by Li Mo, with a total of 14 super bodyguards guarding more than the world's top special forces, so that everyone could be slightly relieved.

Li Mo didn't know what the two were thinking. What he wants to see most now is Michael.

"What about others? "Is it here?"

The mouse understood the boss's thoughts and said, "Michael is in the Southern District. He said it's not convenient to meet here. I hope you can go there!"

Li Mo was not disgusted with letting himself go to the Southern District to meet Michael in person. He is now full of interest in Michael's huge plan, and everything else is small. There is no need to worry too much. And the last time Michael sold an armed helicopter to Xingchen, Li Mo understood that Michael had a lot of relationship in Afghanistan. If he still has blatant contact with Li Mo, I'm afraid it will attract careful attention and bring instability to the next plan. Li Mo himself hopes to achieve this goal in a low-key.

When he came to the Southern District, Li Mo felt as if he had passed through two different worlds. The prosperity of the North District and the poverty of the South District touched Li Moxin. But after all, he is not a good person. The good and bad here have nothing to do with him.

The two cars went further and farther, almost to the southern suburbs. Finally, he stopped in the yard of a dilapidated building.

After getting out of the car, Li Mo looked at it casually, and there were several shadows flashing inside and outside the small building. It seems that Michael, an arms dealer, is also worried.

"Boss, he's coming!" The mouse standing next to Li Mo saw the two white people coming out of the house and immediately hinted to Li Mo in a low voice.

Li Mo turned his head and squinted at Michael who was walking. In the eyes of him as an oriental, there is nothing special about his appearance. Presumably among Westerners, it is also an ordinary public appearance. However, Li Mo did not despise this ordinary appearance at all. He himself is very ordinary. This kind of appearance can give people a natural secret effect.

The first time the two met, just like an old friend they hadn't seen each other for decades. They exchanged affectionate greetings and even a hug.

After entering the house, Li Mo found that there were two worlds inside and outside the building. From the outside, it looks like a dilapidated building, but who knows that the decoration inside is very advanced and luxurious. All kinds of electrical appliances are equipped, not to mention that even the furniture is high-end goods.

This person is still very good at enjoying it! Li Mo thought to himself.

"Li, I invited you this time to complete a huge plan. This plan is very dangerous, but after success, there are also very attractive benefits. Michael didn't talk around for a long time like a diplomat, but went straight to the point as soon as he sat down. However, because he met Li Mo for the first time, what he said was still a little subtle.

"Mr. Michael, you know. I'm here for this plan!" Li Mo said with a smile. If at the beginning, Li Mo still had to come because of the heavy weapons needed by Nevin and needed Michael's help, then Li Mo really became interested in the protection he said.

As an arms dealer, you should not only be low-key and cautious, but also adventurous.

Michael smiled with satisfaction, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes. For this huge plan, he has even stopped the arms business recently. This is absolutely undesirable for an arms dealer. But Michael also has his ambitions. If this plan succeeds, it will be much more cost-effective than his hard work to sell arms.

"Li, I don't know if you know Omar?" Michael suddenly asked.

Omar, isn't he the leader of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan? Before Li Mo came, he also had a side-to-side understanding of Afghanistan and knew the general introduction of Omar. The most reverie is undoubtedly the al-Qaeda organization. Bin Laden's close comrade-in-arms. But now Omar has faded out of the public's sight and hidden behind the scenes from the front desk. Li Mo's understanding of him is all here.

Of course, Li Mo would not say these popular content, but shook his head and said, "Don't you know much about it? Does this plan have anything to do with him?

Li Mo just asked casually, but he didn't expect Michael to nod to this. This surprised Li Mo and became more and more confused at the same time.

"You should know that Omar was ousted by the Americans!" Li Mo said in surprise.

Of course, Michael understands what Li Mo means. Omar not only has close ties with terrorist organizations, but also has close ties with Comrade Laden, the number one enemy of the United States. How could he have contact with Omar?

"Li, you think too much. Who are we? Arms dealers! Arms dealers have no nationality and position! At least we private arms dealers are like this!" Michael explained with a smile.

Looking at Li Mo's silence, Michael indifferently opened a box on the coffee table, pulled out a cigar from it, and signaled to Li Mo whether he needed it or not.

"Thank you, I can't get used to that!" After Li Mo waved his hand, he took out a bag of Zhonghua from his pocket and took out a point. He can't fully agree with Michael's words. But I can also understand the thoughts of people like Michael. They adhere to the supremacy of money. Besides, with the actions of Michael and others, they can't pose enough threat to their motherland. As long as it does not destroy the motherland, other small losses and so on are not under their consideration.

Li Mo thought for a thought for a time and felt that it was meaningless to spend time on this kind of thing. He asked with a self-mockery smile, "Mr. Michael, I'm very interested in your plan. I don't know if I can participate?"
