Chapter 887 Huaxia wants to win the navy order

14 On the 14th, Zhang Lixia's four women went to Tripoli, the capital of Libya, to attend Gaddafi's daughter's wedding before the protection of the women's team led by Ding Susu.

The time chosen for this wedding is very special. Libya has been a hot topic in the world recently. The internal gloom about Gaddafi's political axe and the opposition has never stopped, and it is not known how many countries are mixed with open and secret struggles.

Some media believe that Gaddafi chose to hold a wedding for his daughter at this time to increase the intimate relationship between some 'ally'. Weddings are only one of them. The main thing is the exchange and compromise of various interests in the process of wedding.

Almost of the Arab countries sent the wives of the main leaders of the country to attend the wedding. Among them, several flower-like women representing Somali leader Li Mo have attracted much attention.

How many women does Li Mo have? This question suddenly became the main topic of major media and readers, and some related media began to explore the inside story.

But after all, Li Mo is the leader of a country. In addition to state institutions, it is very difficult for general organizations to inquire about the private affairs of such people.

However, since Li Mo has a legal wife, four young women have appeared this time, indicating that Li Mo is also a popular one. A stream of dignitaries.

Most readers look at this with an entertaining attitude. Because Li Mo is young, and although Somalia is not an Islamic country, most of the people believe in Islam, Li Mo sometimes pretends to be a Muslim in public. Therefore, Li Mo has many wives. In the eyes of many people, it is not a big deal.

... Mogadishu, Li Mo attended a bilateral military cooperation conference between Sok and China today, which mainly involved the cooperation between the navies of the two countries.

The goal of this meeting is about the intensifying 'Stargate Incident' in the Gulf of Aden.

Suohua hopes to reach a certain degree of cooperation on this matter.

It was also an old acquaintance who attended the meeting on behalf of the Chinese military, and the Chinese General and Vice Minister was a strict lieutenant general. The strictness of the major general was also promoted after the change of rank in China.

In fact, the two sides have held many private meetings in this meeting and have basically reached a cooperation. The main purpose of this meeting is to "rect the name" for bilateral cooperation, that is, to sign a formal cooperation agreement.

However, because it involves science fiction things like Stargate, the meeting is not public. It is a semi-public meeting. The media are not very clear about the content of the meeting, but for many countries, this meeting has no secrets.

"Minister Yan, the conclusion of this cooperation will be conducive to the further development of relations between Somalia and China, and also allow the Somali navy to learn from the advanced and valuable experience of the Chinese navy. I hope the Chinese navy will not hesitate to teach." Walking in a heavily guarded garden behind the Ministry of National Defense, Li Mo smiled and said to the strict lieutenant general.

"Haha, Commander Li also began to be modest. This is different from what you are. The strict lieutenant general replied with a smile.

He didn't take Li Mo seriously about his study. After all, it is not so easy to learn some things, and it is easy. The Somali navy does not need to learn from anyone.

"Yes, Commander Li. I heard that your country is planning to purchase some warships? The strict lieutenant general seemed to have just thought of something and asked casually.

Li Mo smiled in his heart. He had already released the news of the Somali navy order through Major General Gedi. There are a lot of people who have contacted him during this period. Many of them come on behalf of the country. For example, Britain.

"I didn't expect the news to spread so fast that even Minister Yan got the news." Li Mo deliberately showed a trace of surprise, and then admitted, "The Somali navy has recently had the intention to purchase two frigates, but the naval department is still investigating."

Strictly Lieutenant General's eyes lit up. The outside world only knows that the Somali navy has an order, but it is not clear what to purchase. Many people think that Somalia has purchased large missile boats as before. After all, from the perspective of Somalia's military development, many people understand that Somalia does not have a tendency to vigorously develop its navy, and Somalia does not have the strength to develop its navy at present.

He also came with a mission this time, which is to take the order of the Somali navy. For Huaxia, it is now actively competing for the national arms market. However, for many reasons, Huaxia's share in the international arms market was mainly concentrated on light and small arms, most of them did not have much technical content. The advantages of Huaxia's weapons mainly focused on the words good quality and low price. For many countries, the first choice to purchase truly advanced ace equipment is a major military industrial power such as the United States and Russia.

However, with the development and achievements of China's military technology, it has gradually gained a foothold in the fiercely competitive global arms trade, but how to expand its market share is a long-term process. At the very least, you need to have the right arms, followed by political factors.

Huaxia's achievements in the air force and army equipment have been steadily improving in recent years, but the navy is still flat. A few naval export orders are still due to political considerations. It is often aimed at countries with close relationships like Pakistan.

And Somalia is also one of the Chinese arms exporters. But for Huaxia Zheng Axe, Somalia, with Star Group, is not an exporter with great purchasing potential. Several arms purchase cooperations have been on the army's ground mid-range missile air defense system. The Navy's only purchase was four Class 022-class missile boats.

With the successful development of the Somali 'Defendors' tank, the 'Sparrow' helicopter occupies a place in the international helicopter market, and Huaxia Zheng Axe once again targeted the Somali Navy.

Arms sales are not only economic interests, but also political interests. This interest is not how much political benefits are added to the arms purchase and arms sales, but the arms purchase and arms sales only in the bilateral political interests.

The current relationship between China and Somalia is developing steadily, and expanding international influence, especially in Africa, has always been the focus of China's foreign policy. Every year, China sprinkles money in Africa. Construction aid projects, foreign debt relief, interest-free loans, cheap provision of arms, etc. What if the relationship with Somalia is further improved? This is what the new leaders of China attach importance to.

With the outbreak and end of the Sofa nuclear crisis, although Li Mo has been criticized by many people internationally, it is undeniable that it is this nuclear crisis that has established the international status of Li Mo and Somalia. Some media even began to refer to Somalia as 'the first military power in North Africa'. Although this statement is one-sided and inaccurate, Somalia and Li Mo have left a deep impression on the world.

Once an Arab media once said that Li Mo was a North African 'Saddam', and Somalia was an African Iraq.

Although Somalia is an underdeveloped country and a weak country, under the leadership of Li Mo, a leader known for his 'tough', he is showing 'ambitiousness'. The military development of Somalia has been valued by more and more national axes.

For such a country, China must adopt a policy of further merging. The deepening of relations between countries is also gradually increased on the basis of common interests and cooperation.

So China's political axe needs to take orders from the Somali navy, so that Somalia is 'actively closer' to China in terms of naval equipment. Secondly, the higher Somalia's international status, the more obvious the publicity effect of its navy's use of Chinese arms.

"Commander Li, do you have any idea of cooperating with our country in this regard? Although China's navy has developed relatively late, the shipbuilding industry is developed, and some technologies are also advanced in the world. For example, the F-22P stealth frigate sold by China to Pakistan is an improved stealth frigate based on the Edo 2nd class. It adopts advanced radar cross-sectional technology, and the electronic equipment used is also first-class... This is a very excellent multi-purpose frigate. At this moment, Lieutenant General Fang Buddha became the sales representative of the shipyard and began to introduce the frigates in China.

F-22P stealth frigate Li Mo also knows that it is among the objects reported by the navy. But in the report of Rear Admiral Gedi, the commander of the navy, the frigate ranked behind. Because for most people, the advantage of Huaxia arms is in the army's light and small arms, followed by air force aircraft. The navy is China itself's international status is not high, except for nuclear submarine forces.

And the purpose of the strict lieutenant general is to hope that Li Mo can purchase Huaxia's frigates. This is certainly not to value these hundreds of millions of dollars of orders, but to expand the Chinese arms market and promote the excellent surname of Chinese arms through arms sales. Because although Somalia is weaker, it is not a major arms importer. Generally speaking, Somalia is even a arms exporter. Somalia has won billions of orders this year. If Somalia purchases Chinese warships, it will definitely enhance the "status" of Chinese arms in the international arms market.

"Minister Yan, I think you can send people to contact the navy for this matter. I'm not as professional as those people for warships. If appropriate, I think there is no problem for the cooperation between the two countries in this regard. Li Mo also gave a promise that was not a promise.

Anyway, the warship is bought to increase national defense strength, not good-looking, not to show off, but to prepare for war. So only those who are about to use them have the most say.

In arms sales, Li Mo never comes with the requirements of political interests, and in arms purchases, he does not want to have the requirements of political interests.

As an arms dealer, although he can't eliminate this 'unspoken rule', he can resist it by himself.
