Chapter 831 Extraordinary
Interest disputes are the cause of war.
Economic interests are also included. The meaning of Minister Abic's words is that once the Third OECD independently develops its own global positioning navigation system, not to mention the cost of time and economic investment, the international pressure on politics must be very great.
Those people and organizations whose minds are full of interests are the interests they represent, and they absolutely don't want to see an organization that is not at the same side with them make a lot of money. Coupled with the existing contradictions and interest entanglements between the two sides, the launch of this "Third Space" plan may be the trigger for some people to make up their minds to do something.
This sentence is not a joke. North Korea successfully launched its second artificial satellite yesterday. Now public opinion all over the world is talking about 'North Korea's threat', undermining the balance and stability of the Asia-Pacific region, etc. The 'threat theory' is once again full of the mainstream speech of the Western media.
For them, anything that conflicts with their interests is a threat that needs to be exaggerated and promoted. Let everyone who is in this vested interest group and those ignorant people believe their views and remarks taken out of context, and let others know that they are God who are right. It is to maintain the peace of the earth. The aircraft carriers they are equipped with are used for justice, and any other development that is not in their camp will become the culprit of this 'peace and stability'.
Launching an artificial satellite can do so many things. What if it is a complete satellite network? There must be a world war!
Abick is very clear about the shameless and hypocritical faces of those Westerners. Up to now, his motherland, a small number of local interest groups have colluded with these Westerners to seize the freedom and power of the motherland. They are not allowed the people to spontaneously support them to give them such rule, but through aircraft and cannons. And rifles to force his compatriots to accept the rule.
"If we do this by ourselves, not the kind that covers the whole world, we will build a satellite positioning and navigation system covering Somalia and the surrounding areas. What do we need?" Li Mo thought for a moment and felt that the 'third space' plan was not mature, and he took it for granted. Moreover, Li Mo is clear that neither Iran nor North Korea will easily transfer the satellite and rocket technology they have developed at great cost to you.
So, Li Mo wondered if Somalia could get one out alone?
Minister Abick frowned and thought for a while, "Global Positioning System is generally composed of 24 satellites to form a space transit monitoring network covering the world. It is composed of 6 orbital surfaces, which can cover 98% of the world's area, and each orbital plane needs 4 satellites. In the region where our Somalia is located, if we want to establish a complete satellite network covering Somalia and surrounding areas, we need at least six satellites, four of which are in operation and two are in reserve. With our own technical and economic strength, it will take at least six years to complete the launch of six satellites and the formation of the network, which is still under the premise that we have complete rocket technology and satellite technology.
Li Mo can't help but be shocked when he hears that it takes six years, but this thing is too extensive and important for military use. Even if you want to buy it, you need to get one.
"Your scientific research department will go back and make a relevant argument, and then give it to me. Hussein, the general manager can strengthen the intelligence work in this area. There are still many space powers and big countries in the world. This sentence is to tell Hussein that the combination of normal means and intelligence means also need to get technical talents in this field.
... On February 6, Major General Keyon, Uganda's Minister of Defense, led a delegation to Mogadishu. Major General Palermo, the Minister of Defense of Somalia, personally greeted Major General Keyon and his party at the airport.
Due to Li Mo's instructions, the relevant Somali departments were very enthusiastic about the arrival of the Uganda delegation. Military representatives and the accompanying officials from the health, education and other departments were also received and met by Somali officials in the corresponding fields as soon as possible.
The next day, Major General Chiong, accompanied by Major General Palermo, visited the industrial park in the town of Badada.
Seeing the Badada Town Industrial Park, Major General Kiyong and the accompanying Ugandan officials were full of amazement and incredible in the first place.
In Africa, large and dense industrial zones such as industrial parks are very rare. Somalia, which needed Uganda to send peacekeeping troops to maintain domestic social order a few years ago, has developed into what it is today in just a few years.
In the assembly plant of the First Special Vehicle Factory, Major General Jiyong saw the advanced machines that were almost unknown, the workers and technicians who were mentally focused on their posts, and saw that the powerful chariots were completely assembled... They were amazed by every scene.
The modern factory in the industrial park made Major General Keeong feel worth the trip. I used to hear that Somalia has made some achievements in military technology, but only when he saw and felt the change with his own eyes and the shock made him understand that Somalia was creating a miracle.
After the visit to the industrial park, Major General Killon seemed to be unsatisfied and put forward the idea of visiting the aviation industrial park, which made the accompanying Major General Palermo feel a little embarrassed.
Because I didn't visit the industrial park on the itinerary, and the industrial park is a little different from the industrial park. The industrial park was established earlier, and many things are not secret to the outside world. On the other side of the industrial park, it can be said that Somalia's military technology is the highest convergence. Many places are prohibited from visiting, and even Somali officials at a certain level are not qualified.
If the industrial park is just a military base invested by the state, Palermo, as the Minister of Defense, will not be embarrassed to let outsiders visit it directly. But the real owner of the industrial park is Li Mo, which makes him feel cautious.
So Palermo personally called Li Mo to ask for Li Mo's opinion.
Under the principle of confidentiality, it can meet the requirements of Major General Jiyong. This is Li Mo's reply. Many institutions and facilities in the industrial park need to be kept confidential, which is to prevent external analysis from infering the institutional deployment and technical strength of the industrial park. However, if you meet some conditions, you can disclose some to the outside world.
After all, in the field of national defense, it is not about military secrets. It is hidden tightly to ensure national defense security. Sometimes, it is necessary to expose part of the content, which is also a deterrent to the outside world.
The next day, Ugandaan military representatives arrived in Baidoa.
If the industrial park of Badada Town is amazing to Jiyong and others, then what the aviation industrial park gives them is called a shock.
It is true that as an important person in the military of the country, Major General Jiyong is not that kind of steamed buns, but do you feel the same when you see a high-tech park in the United States and a high-tech park in Somalia?
No one is surprised when a millionaire enters and exits a five-star hotel, but a migrant worker goes in and out of a five-star hotel every day, which is surprising.
In the eyes of many people, Somalia is a 'beggar' who has not yet got rid of poverty. Until last year, in the review of the United Nations Development Committee, Somalia had not got rid of the hat of 'the least developed country'. In addition to the per capita GDP of 600 US dollars, other things such as population and actual quality of life The index is not up to standard, and the proportion of industrial manufacturing in the national economy is also inferior. The Somali political axe's report at the beginning of this year mentioned that Somalia should be removed from the label of "the least developed country" within two years.
It is really shocking that a ' least developed country' can also have such a huge high-tech industrial park and military industry base with an international level.
In the Aviation Industrial Park, Major General Jiyong and his party were also personally received by Ms. An Li, the general manager of the airline, and accompanied the whole process of the tour.
Because of Li Mo's instructions, several places Anli prepared for the Uganda delegation were all related to aircraft manufacturing.
In the assembly workshop of the First Aircraft Factory, Major General Kiyong and his party saw the "Golden Eagle Attack Aircraft" that was rumored last year, a propeller aircraft equipped with the world's most advanced laser anti-missile weapons. It is said that this aircraft can effectively shoot down and destroy the enemy's air-to-air missiles.
When the visit to the industrial park was over, Uganda's representatives were still very interested. Anyone in an underdeveloped country was amazed to see the scene that can only be seen in a strong military and industrial country.
After the visit, Major General Keeong also officially demonstrated his interest in arms procurement to the Minister of Palermo on behalf of the Ugandan political axe.
Uganda's political axe has 40,000 armed forces, most of which are the army. In the regular establishment of the Ugandan armed forces, there is only one army, and the air force and navy belong to the second-line arms. Every year, the military expenditure of Uganda's political axe is about 120 million US dollars to 150 million US dollars. This figure is already very tight for the regular armed forces supporting 40,000 people, and there are still 'traitors' in the north of Uganda, so Uganda's military expenditure that could be used to purchase arms to change the army was very small.
But this time, Major General Keeyong brought an order totaling $30 million. Including armored vehicles to portable missiles, hundreds of 'Star S' assault rifles specially developed by Star Group for special forces have been purchased.
Although the total amount of orders this time is not large, it is very important for Star Group, because it represents the exploration of customers in another country. With this good cooperation, Uganda will definitely take the products of the Somali Star Group into account in arms purchase in the future. Go. And with this arms purchase, the Somali Star Group will further enhance its reputation in the African Continental Army fire market.
This is not only an ordinary arms purchase, but also of its political significance. In the international arms market, there are political factors in many arms purchases. With this arms purchase cooperation between Uganda and Somalia, the relationship between the two sides will be further strengthened.
Somalia needs to spread its influence, international support and friends.
