Chapter 463 Don't Scud
Because of the important surname of the next conversation, some people in the reception room withdrew. In the end, there are only six people left, all of whom belong to the core members of both sides, and they are not afraid of leaking secrets at all.
"Well, if you need a very ** goods, I must confirm your identity." Najirov twisted his neck again and looked at Li Mo with a serious face. Generally speaking, Nazyrov's problem should not be said, because the underground arms transaction is a kind of transaction that is hidden in the dark. In order to prevent identity leakage, many buyers and sellers are targeted by state organizations or Interpol. Except for the fact that the old customers who have made many transactions will be willing to each other, Exposing each other's identity, generally speaking, they will not take the initiative to ask each other's identity.
However, from the analysis of Li Mo's remarks, it can be found that this Chinese young man seems to be focusing on something extraordinary. Although this is only his speculation, he believes that this speculation is infinitely close to the truth.
Nazyrov's reputation in the international underground arms black market does not mean that he really has no strength. In Ukraine, his network is still very large. But it is because of this that he must keep a low profile. Because a frequently popular arms dealer is bound to attract the attention of other forces and then investigate the forces behind him. This is what he himself and the forces behind him don't want to see.
Li Mo squinted and looked at Nazyrov carefully. He was sure that the arms dealer had guessed his purpose; but Nazyrov did not refuse, but asked him where he came from. That is to say, the arms dealer is sure to get what he needs.
This poor-looking arms dealer has a lot of tricks. Li Mo felt that even if he did not reach a cooperation this time, he should have a good relationship with this person.
"So, is Mr. Nazyrov sure to provide the goods I need? I have to confirm this before I can reveal my identity. Li Mo did not answer directly, but asked a question.
Neither of them believes in either of them now. Even Li Mo has to be careful about this kind of major deal. Because everyone knows what ballistic missiles are for. If Li Mo's procurement of ballistic missiles is exposed, I'm afraid that countries all over the world will go to track down the whereabouts and use of ballistic missiles. Even Huaxia will not be an exception.
In terms of China's national interests, Li Mo will not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons. Even if they know that Li Mo has the ability to imitate conventional weapons, they can still support Li Mo regardless. This is because the threat that conventional weapons can bring to China is too small to bring to China. But nuclear weapons are different. Nuclear weapons are something that can pose a fatal threat to anyone and any force. All the countries and forces they have can't wait for others not to have their own. It is impossible to sit back and watch other forces acquire nuclear weapons.
"Well, I admit it. If you don't need the top ones, I can find a way to help you get them. But you must confirm your identity first. Let's believe that what you have obtained will not harm us!" As soon as Nazyrov's words came out, it showed that he was not as simple as an underground arms dealer. It seems to be more like a spokesperson for a certain force.
Li Mo frowned slightly, and he also found this. The reason why he came here is to prevent the attention of people with intentions. Otherwise, he would have bought the Dapudong I directly on the exchange. If Nazirov is really the spokesperson of the Ukrainian military group, the Ukrainian military must know it after learning his identity. Although Somalia and Ukraine are far apart, there is no conflict of interest between the two sides at all. But Li Mo can't guarantee that those military personnel will reveal the news.
But in order to obtain ballistic missiles, Li Mo also had to reveal his origin. Compared with the procedure of purchasing on the exchange, trading here is more hidden.
"Mr. Nazyrov, after I tell the origin, can you guarantee that this secret will not be known by a third person? You should know that the disaster caused by the exposure of this news will be unbearable. Li Mo asked after a long time of meditation.
A smile appeared on Nazyrov's face and said, "Mr. Li, don't worry. There is no doubt about the credibility of arms dealers. And we don't want to expose ourselves.
Li Mo nodded, which is not bad. If they are exposed, Nazyrov and others will have to come out in the dark. It seems that the forces behind him dare not be openly exposed to the public. Otherwise, Najirov would not be allowed to be an underground arms dealer in Zinjibar.
"We are from Somalia!" Li Mo thought about it and reported his origin.
Nazirov, who was ready, stood up in surprise after hearing about Somalia and shouted, "Impossible! You are lying!"
Another person will definitely have the same reaction as Najirov. No one will believe that a newly unified Somalia will need high-tech weapons such as ballistic missiles. Is it a useful place for ballistic missiles in a country that regards rifles as treasures?
Li Mo's reaction to him was not surprising. He spread out his hands helplessly, "This is the truth!" We are from Somalia. I told you before that I'm a Somali!"
Najirov looked at the expressions of Li Mo for a long time before hesitantly sat down. He is still not sure whether Li Mo's words are true or not. But from the looks of several people, it doesn't look like a lie. Nazyrov felt that he still had a good eye. Otherwise, you won't even see anything strange. Unless the other party's ability to lie reaches its peak.
"In this case, what you need is a surface-to-surface missile? How about Scud? It is a tactical ballistic missile known to the public in the world. Its maximum range is 300 kilometers. It's enough to deal with ordinary conventional wars. In the Iran-Iraq War, the Afghan War and the Southern War in Yemen more than a decade ago, Scud showed his surname. It is the most used ballistic missile in the world today. Although Nazyrov knew that Li Mo needed a kind of ballistic missile, he knew that he would not need a big guy like intercontinental ballistic missiles. That's a useless thing for Somalia.
Although Scud has long been retired in the Russian and Ukrainian armies. But there are still many countries in the world equipped. And most countries have carried out modernization and modification. Or increase the range, or increase the difficulty of interception, etc. Naturally, Nazyrov knows that this kind of missile is attractive enough for ordinary countries. And it is also a short-range missile that is very suitable for developing countries.
"The price of Scud is very cheap, only $200,000 a piece. Although it is a little more expensive than the export price of the former Soviet Union, the Scud in my hand is the recently improved Scud D. Moreover, the price of weapons on the black market is much higher than the price of arms transactions between countries. Seeing that Li Mo didn't say anything, Nazyrov thought he was hesitating. He immediately restored the true nature of an arms dealer and tried his best to sell weapons.
Li Mo is really speechless. He didn't expect that after a long time, Nazyrov recommended himself to buy Scud. You should know that he purchased ballistic missiles to load nuclear warheads. It is not to attack the enemy's positions and military facilities. Although Scud can also be loaded with nuclear warheads, most of them are small tactical nuclear warheads, that is, tens of thousands of tons of small warheads. Li Mo doesn't have that in his hand at all now. Except for one of the nuclear warheads taken from the Japanese nuclear weapons base, which is equivalent to 3 million tons, most of them are equivalent to 500,000 tons and 1 million tons. Is this equivalent nuclear warhead used to hit targets within 300 kilometers? Isn't that a quarantine area?
What he needs is a medium-range ballistic missile with at least 500,000 equivalent nuclear warheads, which is enough to pose a fatal threat to U.S. military bases in the Middle East such as Djibouti, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. As for the intercontinental ballistic missiles that hit the United States, Li Mo didn't want to. He can't get an intercontinental ballistic missile now.
"Mr. Nazyrov, I think you misunderstood me. What I need is not Scud, but SS-14 'scapegoat'. If there is no SS-14, SS-4/5 is also OK. That is to say, what I need is a medium-range ballistic missile, not a short-range ballistic missile. Li Mo was finally impatient with Nazyrov's chatter. He waved his hand to interrupt his sales and said directly.
"SS-14...RT-15, my God, Mr. Li, what on earth are you going to use it for?" Nazyrov meditated on a word before he knew that the so-called SS-14 was the NATO code name of the RT-15 medium-range ballistic missile. I can't help staring at the eyes and screaming. The energy data of the missile immediately came to his mind: 10.6 meters long, 1.4 meters in diameter, a maximum range of 4,000 kilometers, and a take-off weight of 28 tons. In the end, it is 'a nuclear warhead that can carry 500,000 tons of equivalent'. And Nazyrov's shock was brought about by this sentence.
The only function of this medium-range ballistic missile is to be equipped with a nuclear warhead and standby on the silos or launch vehicle. Instead of flying thousands of kilometers with hundreds of kilograms of high explosives to attack an enemy building.
However, Nazyrov was surprised for a moment and regained his composure. Nuclear warheads are not a mysterious weapon in the world today. It is not the ultimate killer that only a few countries have mastered. As far as he knows, some of Ukraine's thousands of nuclear warheads that once inherited from the former Soviet Union 'disappeared'. Not all of them were destroyed with the help of the United States and Russia, as the outside world knows. When Ukraine was under major disarmament, countless weapons and equipment were nominally destroyed, but in fact they were taken away by the black hands. Even the forces behind him are one of them. Otherwise, how could he sell so many advanced weapons?
But Li Mo, a young man who claims to be from Somalia, also has a nuclear warhead in his hand, which makes Nazyrov more interested in him. There has been a lot of noise in Somalia recently. Zingibbar is only across the Gulf of Aden from Somalia. Of course, he knows a lot of inside stories. Arms dealers are 'interested' in wars anywhere in the world.
"Mr. Li, I don't have the missiles you mentioned here. But..."
