Red Alert Somalia

Hearing Farah's explanation, Li Lan realized that diamonds in Africa and oil in the Middle East.

As one of the most valuable representatives of third world countries, when talking about Africa, many people first think of diamonds and gold.

Having seen too much in Somalia, Li Lan has habitually lowered Africa's arms purchasing power by many levels, but when he heard Farah's words, he was immediately in front of him.

In Africa, many diamond mines are owned by the state, but there are also many diamond mines that fall into the hands of some armed forces. Most of these forces are designated as rebels.Why is Africa so chaotic? There are so many unrests because of these precious minerals.

Especially in Central African countries, in many countries there are more or less one or two anti-government armed forces. Almost all these anti-government armed forces have their own diamond mines or gold mines, or oil.The anti-government forces developed by controlling these high-value natural resources are difficult for even government forces to deal with.

This chaotic situation is actually a product of the Cold War. Back then, the United States and the Soviet Union were competing for natural resources in Africa, either controlling the government or the anti-government forces.After the end of the Cold War, despite the disappearance of the Soviet Union, driven by interests, ambitions, and hatred, this chaotic situation remained unchanged.

The United States also reduced its focus on Africa after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and then gradually faded out of their sight. After the new reality, with the influence of African countries in the United Nations and international affairs, plus the resources and manpower in Africa, Countries began to compete again.However, the United States has lost its inherent advantages.

The situation of wars in Africa year after year has not been changed in the slightest.In some countries, there have been wars and chaos for 30 to 40 years. The government changes every year, and there is no power or prestige at all.

However, in accordance with the UN Charter, the sale of advanced naval and air weapons to war-torn countries in Africa is not allowed. In particular, lethal weapons are absolutely prohibited.At present, almost all countries are agreeing to this charter.

Therefore, many armed forces who clearly have money but cannot buy advanced weapons, and here are the treasures of arms dealers all over the world. In the eyes of arms dealers, Africa is truly gold everywhere.Because here, buyers can be found everywhere.

Ethiopia, which can be considered a powerful word for Africa, was defeated. There were basically no major fighters left in the Air Force. The navy had never left. The army was wiped out by two armored brigades.This allows many people to see the opportunity, because the most dazzling star weapon of this battle is in Africa, very close to them.

Ground warfare has always been the protagonist of war in Africa. There are very few air forces, let alone the navy.Therefore, a main battle tank that comes from the same African region and can undoubtedly defeat the t-72 and t-80 on the front, which is equivalent to putting a good meal in front of the hungry.

And in order to prevent this weapon from being purchased by the opponent, each of them seemed very anxious.For fear of being a step too late, the balance will be broken, putting yourself at a disadvantage.

"Since the commander wants to sell, what price is appropriate." Farah did not know the cost of the rhino tanks, nor did he know where these tanks came from. He would not ask before, nor would he ask in the future.

Perhaps in his opinion, such a large amount of food support from China is enough to explain everything.Not only does he think so, but many Somalis in the territory have such ideas. Therefore, there are some things that do not need to be asked or discussed.

"Since this tank is going to be sold, it must be in line with the price that the third generation tank should have. According to the quantity purchased, the cheapest one cannot be less than two million US dollars!" 80,000 base funds, Li Landing's lowest price was as high as two million, and it was still the lowest price, which was his bottom line. How much he can buy depends on Lahe's business acumen.

The selling price of these two million was set by Li Lan based on the world's advanced third-generation tanks, and on the basis of this average value, it was much lower.It's not because Li Lan wants to sell at a low price, but the price is suitable for the purchasing power of many third world countries.

Li Lan currently has no ideas for the high-end arms market, but he is very interested in these low-end and mid-range markets, although this will steal business with China. After all, the foreign trade price of an mbt-2000 is 5 million, and the rhino tank is so. The cheap price, basically without any additional political conditions, will have many people interested in it.

"Isn't two million too small?" In Farah's impression, how can such a tank sell for three or four million. He didn't expect that Li Lan's heart was so small and the reserve price was only two million.

"It's a lot. This is only our first generation tank. There are more advanced models behind, and there are two other upgraded models of this rhino tank. Don't worry that the price will be too cheap. It is a 1.5 million. We can also sell, but we need to pay other terms in exchange." The price of two million yuan, Li Lan thinks it is already possible. After the Chinese and Western Rhino tanks have entered service in the army, he hopes very much. Sell ​​a little.

"Okay, I understand." Since he didn't know the specific cost of the tank, Farah couldn't say anything.

"You just talked about escorting arms. I am looking for you to set up a company." Li Lan said.

"What company is it?" Muhammad, who has been unable to speak, this time it is his turn to speak

"I know that there is an eo in South Africa, which is the world's largest private mercenary company, and we have to establish such a company. Many times, there is a mercenary title, and many things are much easier to handle." Li Lan Point out.

"Then you are planning to let the soldiers join this mercenary organization?" Muhammad asked.

"No, I plan to recruit a new group of people. They are already on the way and will come in a while. The mercenaries in this company come from all over the world and are used by people of any color, and each of them is extremely good. Warrior."

Li Lan has had this idea for a long time. He intends to recruit a group of soldiers of various skin colors. The soldiers recruited by the base are Somali by default. That is just to make it more convenient for Li Lan to rule Somalia and let the Somalis from the heart China has a sense of identity with this force.And he can also randomly recruit soldiers of various races, they just have different skin colors and faces, and all the inner things are the same.To put it simply, it means that the exterior has not changed.

The use of multiple skin colors is also Li Lan's purpose to make it easier for the mercenaries to accept the task. After all, the scale of the all races is more attractive.The tasks accepted will also have certain limitations.

According to Li Lan's idea, this mercenary should script all kinds of talents, so he plans to recruit each unit in a reasonable proportion.Whether it's engineers, military dogs, special forces, spies, snipers, crazy Ivans, terrorists, etc., he needs to get in.After allowing them to receive any task, they can set off immediately.

In terms of the nature of the mission, Li Lan will not make too many restrictions, ranging from participation in a country’s war to a small amount of kidnapping and security.

Together with such an organization, not only can you train soldiers, but you can also perform some of your own obscure tasks. The most important thing is that mercenaries can bring good economic income.It is not the Blackwater Company of the United States or the foreign corps of France. These countries are very good money-giving tools, and they are also secret daggers to deal with military operations that are difficult for regular troops to come forward.

However, for this mercenary company, Li Lan prefers South Africa's eo, which is a purely private mercenary company. Whether there are mainstream countries supporting it or how many countries are supporting it, Li Lan is not clear.

But he is confident to compete with this company. There is a mercenary group in South Africa, and North Africa naturally needs one, and this one is created by him. As for the military, he has no reason to admit it.

"What's the scale, how many people?" Farah got a lot of interest when he heard Li Lan say that he would create a mercenary. In Africa, the mercenary business is very busy. There are businesses wherever you go, and the money is very good. earn.Not only local forces, but even many countries will hire them to do things that they can't come forward.

Farah had done research on this industry before. If it weren’t for the fact that the people under his hands were not up to the job as a mercenary, he would have done it himself. After all, the profits were not small.

"It depends on the situation, but you must first beat your reputation first. As for the arms transport, you can also leave it to them." Li Lan thought for a while and said.

"Okay, I'll go through it right away. On the customer side, the chief doesn't need to worry. Our customers, presumably will also be interested in our mercenaries." Farah nodded and said: "Then this mercenary company should be called what?"

"What do you think?" Li Lan hasn't really thought about it. In his opinion, the name must be loud and easy to remember.

"If that's the case, don't worry, I will decide the name after I have prepared the preliminary work." Farah couldn't think of it for a moment.

"Let's do it!" Li Lan nodded, agreeing with Farah's idea.

"Does the sir have anything else to order?" Muhammad on the side heard that the two of them seemed to have finished talking, and said.

"Yes, there is one more thing. You need to draw up a charter as soon as possible." Li Lan nodded and said to Muhammad: "I plan to expand into a garrison division based on the size of the original garrison regiment, based on three infantry brigades. The number of people in the army is about 12,000. In terms of weapons and equipment, there will be Humvees and armored vehicles. In terms of establishment, I have asked the staff to make arrangements. You only need to find all the staff. And you have to tell the residents who are actively participating in the army. It is only temporary. In the future, we need to continue to expand the size of the garrison. Let them not worry."
