Chapter 844 Meeting on the Beach

Li Mo was very surprised to receive a phone call from Vice President Muhammad in person. But he soon realized that the last time he visited the industrial park with Defense Minister Palermo, Minister Palermo said that Vice President Mohammed wanted to get together with him in private.

Recently, because of the plane crash, the secret fight between the United States and the Tunisian color revolution, Li Mo was so busy that he didn't remember this matter at all. In addition, there was no movement on Muhammad's side, and Li Mo forgot it for a while.

This time Muhammad called in person, and Li Mo agreed without thinking too much, but Muhammad finally said on the phone that he had a guest who also wanted to know Li Mo, hoping to get Li Mo's permission.

Li Mo did not refuse this point. Anyway, no matter who he is, there is no problem in knowing himself and making friends with himself. He is not afraid of having more friends, but afraid of having more friends. But as long as he keeps a cautious attitude to communicate, Li Mo believes that there will be no problem in this regard.

According to the discussion between the two on the phone, it was finally decided to meet in Li Mo's villa on the seaside, which is Fan Qingqing's current residence.

The next day, Li Mo and Fan Qingqing prepared a beach barbecue in the villa, that is, on the beach near the beach. In Li Mo's heart, he didn't think that the vice president had to prepare a Western meal to come with guests to visit.

In order to ensure safety, the navy deployed two armed speedboats on the sea outside the villa, an inshore speedboat specially modified by the Somali navy to combat smuggling and patrols.

In the villa area, He Xiaoqiang took the guards to check one side around before hiding around.

In the evening, half an hour before the agreed time between the two parties, Li Mo received a phone call. Muhammad was already on his way with the guests, and at this time, Li Mo already knew that the guest of Vice President Mohammed was the British ambassador to Somalia.

On the beach, Fan Qingqing is commanding the servants to put a rectangular table in a gentle place on the beach. In the distance, two grills have been set up, and several barbecue chefs specially recruited from Somali herdsmen are making preliminary preparations.

The table was quickly placed. A huge umbrella was on the table, covering the afterglow of the sunset with heat. Li Mo sat on a chair and looked at the busy Fan Qingqing, with a warm smile on the corners of his mouth.

"What are you laughing at? The guests are coming soon. Why don't you meet them? Fan Qingqing** noticed the change in the expression on the man's face and couldn't help turning around and saying angrily.

Li Mo was stunned, and then he remembered that the identity of the guests who came tonight was not ordinary. It seemed inappropriate for him to wait here. After all, it was the vice president who brought the guests to the door. Li Mo was easy to be criticized. Although Li Mo did not care about this, there was no need to offend people so plainly.

At the door of the villa, there was only a He Xiaoqiang standing behind Li Mo, standing there steadily like a tree stump. Only those bright black eyes, turning slightly from time to time, looking at the movement around him.

At about 6:45, a sound of a car engine came from the door of the villa. Li Mo said secretly, and immediately came to the gate with a smile on his face.

Vice President Muhammad, who had not yet got out of the car, was really surprised to see Li Mo at the door. After all, he is the vice president, and he also has supporters and his own power in Somalia. He knows that Li Mo, the deputy commander-in-chief, in fact, the military leader, rarely goes out to greet anyone in person.

Muhammad was very happy and moved by Li Mo's attitude. After all, Li Mo really gave him face, otherwise he, a vice president, with Li Mo's great power in Somalia, could be completely taken a blind eye.

In Africa, the foundation is very unstable without the power supported by guns.

Ambassador Hooni also saw Li Mo at the door in the car, and he was also very surprised. However, he doesn't think Li Mo is giving him face, but giving face to the vice president. Until this moment, Hooni's senses with Li Mo changed. In his impression, young people, especially those who hold great power, were in high spirits and arrogant. But Li Mo actually stood at the gate to greet him, which is a kind of realization that attaches great importance to in any culture and tradition.

For Muhammad, Li Mo has a lot of information about him, that is, a very steady and taciturn middle-aged black man, and he is also a devout Muslim. Even now, he wears a very symbolic turban and a cyan robe on his body, which doesn't look like a vice president of a country at all.

And British Ambassador Honey is just like a British gentleman in everyone's impression. Although he is not wearing an evening dress, a civilized stick and a hat, he is also dressed in a black suit with a tie, and his hair is neat and neatly combed.

One of these two people is the future president of Somalia and the other is the British supreme representative in Somalia. They are fully worthy of Li Mo coming out to greet them in person.

The three people came to the beach with a simple but formal greeting. Seeing the delicate lamb being rolled over by the barbecue master, a trace of surprise really flashed in their eyes. Before they came, they never expected that Li Mo would entertain them here.

However, neither of them were ordinary people. The surprise immediately disappeared and replaced them with the intimate and natural appearance.

When the cut mutton with a seductive fragrance was served, even Honey, a British gentleman, couldn't help twitching his nose, and the saliva in his mouth was also accumulating. Think of a country's military leader, a vice president, a diplomat who attaches great importance to appearance and etiquette, eating freshly roasted mutton and drinking red wine on the beach in the afterglow of the sunset, which is a completely strange picture.

At the beginning, the conversation between the three of them was relatively cautious, and the content was also limited to the normal development of the relationship between the two countries. However, with the passage of time, especially after the sunset, Ambassador Hooni couldn't sit still. If there is no official business, he also wants to slowly understand this kind of dinner with the two Somali leaders, but when he thinks of the very troublesome and difficult task he carries, Ambassador Hooni has the intention to break this conversation first.

"Deputy Commander Li, I wonder what is the current situation of the crew of the American freighter 'Jewel' detained by your naval department? In addition to visiting you this time, I also hope to understand the current situation of these crew members. I hope that Deputy Commander Li can help. Ambassador Houni sorted out the words in his mind for a long time and finally said it.

Seeing Li Mo's suspicious look, Ambassador Hooni immediately explained, "Because the American political axe and your country have not sent ambassadors to each other so far, the American political axe has entrusted our country to understand the situation of those American crew members." In his words, Ambassador Hooney said gently that the British political axe had no other purpose in this matter, which was entirely because of the commission of the American political axe. This often happens in international foreign affairs, and some countries have not established diplomatic relations. Or break off diplomatic relations, but in some affairs involving the two countries, it is necessary to find a third party that is accepted by both sides to do the middle message. This is usually when the two countries are not very friendly to negotiate, they will entrust a third party to contact each other. If the relationship is not too bad, it will also be through other ways. For example, when Somalia and China have not sent ambassadors to each other in the past, the affairs related to China and Somalia are all through the Chinese ambassador to Kenya. Table, responsible for negotiating with Somali political axes.

"AMBASSADOR Huni, China's political axe is treating criminal suspects who violate our laws, although they will temporarily restrict their freedom because of their crimes, and then punish them according to the results of the legal trial, or go to prison, or fines, etc. But you can rest assured that you will not touch any suspects and criminals to abuse them. Before Li Mo could answer, Vice President Muhammad, who was beside him, immediately interrupted. Before he came, he didn't know that Ambassador Hooney came for the crew of the 'Jewel'. He thought that Ambassador Hooney wanted to take the opportunity to meet with Li Mo to improve his relationship with Li Mo. After all, Houni is the ambassador to Somalia, and it is very necessary to have a good relationship with Somali real power figures like Li Mo. In addition, the two countries have had good commercial cooperation recently. Vice President Mohammed attaches great importance to the relationship with Britain, so he agreed to be a referee for Ambassador Hooni.

But as soon as he heard Ambassador Hooni's words, he felt that Ambassador Hooni was skeptical of the Somali navy and law enforcement personnel, which made the vice president dissatisfied. Although it is a private occasion at the present, he, the vice president of Somalia, will certainly be unhappy if he doubts the work attitude of the relevant departments in Somalia.

Ambassador Hooni couldn't help but blame himself for what he said. He didn't blame himself for saying those words, but for not letting Muhammad figure out the meaning of the words. He believed that Li Mo understood what he said. The real intention was not to worry about the American crew, but to use it as an introduction to lead the topic to the 'Jewel' incident.

"Sorry, Mr. Mohammed, I absolutely don't doubt the meaning of your naval department. I just know the situation of those crew normally, because I need to report their current situation to the country and then tell the American political axe." Ambassador Hooni first apologized, and then looked at Li Mo and asked, "I don't know what Vice Commander Li is going to do with the cargo ship 'Gem' and the crew on it? I just want to know your attitude, not to interfere in your internal affairs. Huni immediately explained that he was afraid that Vice President Muhammad would not figure it out and doubted his true intentions.

Li Mo smiled and said, "Of course, it will be handed over to the judicial department for review. If you are not guilty, you will be released directly. If you are guilty, you will be tried in accordance with the relevant laws of our country. For the 'Jewel' freighter, we will inform its company and pay the fine before the freighter can leave Somalia."

Hearing Li Mo's words, Ambassador Hooni was not only not depressed, but very happy, because in Li Mo's last two sentences, he heard that Li Mo's real intention was not to send the dozen American crew members to the court bench. Otherwise, in Li Mo's identity and the current situation, Li Mo would not He will tell him directly the end of the 'Jewel' freighter, because it should have been decided after the court trial, but Li Mo said it directly, which showed that Li Mo did not want to try the crew members, but wanted to achieve a certain purpose through the 'Jewel' incident.
