Chapter 1150 Hami Melon
Iran-Iraq border.
Xiao Jian personally escorted ‘Hami’ and arrived safely at the Iran-Iraq border.
‘Hami’ is a code name, a code name to confuse intelligence agencies. Its real name is Warcraft Arms!
A large number of advanced military equipment!
As for the name, it is a mercenary!
It has nothing to do with any country.
Even if it is known, it is the mercenary’s business!
This is the international norm. Whatever you do, you have to cover it with a coat on the surface.
The Americans do this, and the Europeans do the same!
Even the Soviets back then and the Russians now do this!
According to the agreement, the two sides are handing over.
This batch of arms includes 200 ‘Aegis-0’ missiles, 400 ‘Aegis-1’ missiles, 2,000 ‘Vanguard’ missiles, 2,000 Beidou positioning devices, and 3,000 satellite communication equipment, with a total value of 1.05 billion US dollars, almost 4.2 billion RMB.
After the handover with the Iraqi person in charge, the two sides shook hands, and Xiao Jian led his people to retreat.
After the arms were handed over, his mission was completed. Even if he was bombed by American planes on the way, it was none of his business!
And he couldn't stay here for too long. Who knows if he would be discovered by the Americans and attract American fighter jets.
Although this possibility is very small, after all, this is on the border between Iran and Iraq. Once the bomb falls, it may be in Persia, which can easily cause a fierce backlash from Persia. But as the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry. Who knows if the Americans will really go crazy and do such a crazy thing.
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
This is the residence of the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs and embassies of various countries. It is the second largest city, the largest port, and an important financial center in Saudi Arabia. It is about 70 kilometers east of Mecca and is the only city in Mecca Province that allows non-Muslims to live.
Jeddah Port, built in 647, is a trade transit port. It has flourished as a transit port for pilgrims since the 17th century and is the main import and export port of Mecca. It was the main commercial port in Saudi Arabia in 1932. After World War II, the port was expanded and is currently the largest commercial port on the Red Sea coast.
There is a Saudi naval base in Jeddah, which is the King Faisal Naval Base in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
At this time, several ships docked at the King Faisal Naval Base.
Then they began to unload weapons and equipment.
A large amount of weapons and equipment were transported from this ship.
These are weapons and equipment purchased by Saudi Arabia. It happened that this time the Navy Jiaolong Commando participated in the joint training with the Saudi army and arrived in Saudi Arabia together.
The Jiaolong Commando is an elite special force of the Marine Corps, mainly responsible for maritime anti-terrorism, anti-piracy, anti-hijacking, special reconnaissance, special operations and other tasks. They are the elite of the Marine Corps, known as the "Maritime Special Forces", and are an important force for China to carry out military operations at sea.
From the escort in the Gulf of Aden to the present, more than ten years have passed. They have escorted ships, driven away pirates, and rescued merchant ships under attack, writing miracles in the depths of the ocean again and again. This force can quickly launch attacks from air to land, from sea to underwater, and from the south to the north. The 'Jiaolong Commando' is praised as 'a dragon on the sea, a tiger on the land, an eagle in the sky, and an elite counter-terrorist'!
At this time, the 'Jiaolong Commando' is fully armed and on alert.
Djibouti, port.
Several ships entered the port and began to load and unload, including both arms and supplies.
At the port of Djibouti, Panshan Group obtained a 99-year lease period. In addition to being a naval logistics supply port, it is also a commercial port.
After the United States launched the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, its power in Africa has been greatly weakened, and the war in Africa has come to an end.
Unlike the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the wars in Africa do not involve any advanced tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, or warships.
In the wars here in Africa, even if aircraft are used, they are at most second-generation and a half fighters, and there are still very few of them. Most of them are second-generation fighters, or even first-generation fighters.
The J-5 and J-6 fighters are very popular here.
As for tanks and armored vehicles, it is difficult to see hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles in combat. Tanks and armored vehicles are used as killer weapons here.
In the wars here in Africa, machine guns mounted on cars are the killer weapons.
The battlefields here are of all kinds of brands. Even weapons from the First World War can be seen here. As for weapons from the Second World War, they are also very common here.
As for missiles, they are limited to portable air defense missiles or anti-tank missiles.
Years of war have left nearly half of Africa devastated. Not only has society not progressed, but it has regressed.
A large number of people died in the war!
During the war, no one went to rescue natural disasters.
As for the terrible Ebola virus, a large number of Africans died.
Countries have joined forces, but have not yet developed a specific drug to treat the Ebola virus. Now they are physically isolating it through the United Nations peacekeeping force.
Even if there is any noise in normal times, everyone's opinions on this matter are surprisingly unified, because the Ebola virus is too terrible!
Although the incubation period of the virus can be 2 to 21 days, it is usually only 5 to 10 days. And it has a very high mortality rate, reaching an astonishing 50% to 90%!
This basically means that as long as you are infected with the Ebola virus, it is equivalent to death.
The biosafety level of Ebola virus is 4, while that of AIDS and SARS is 3. The higher the level, the stricter the protection.
In the vast African land, there are only a handful of countries with good development.
Libya, Egypt, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Nubia, Mozambique, South Africa, etc., not even half of the countries have positive economic growth.
As countries end wars one after another, the post-war reconstruction of these countries is also a long-standing problem.
Countries with resources are fine, and they can still obtain reconstruction funds by selling resources. Countries without resources have no chance to sell resources.
After so many years of war, the territories of many countries have also changed. They are no longer the kind of fragrant and fast ones in the past, but have formed boundaries with rivers and ridges.
Somalia, which ended the war ahead of time, is currently developing rapidly. The US military will purchase supplies here, bringing a lot of foreign exchange to Somalia.
The best developed country is actually Tanzania. This country has maintained peace and stability for 20 years. It has achieved self-sufficiency in food in agriculture and can export some food every year. It has also developed some light industry, mining, smelting and power industries.
The rise in oil and natural gas prices has greatly increased Tasmania's oil and natural gas revenues, which also stimulated the economy.
Today, Tasmania's per capita GDP has reached the threshold of 6,000 US dollars. From one of the least developed countries in the world to the current per capita GDP of 6,000 US dollars, it took Tasmania more than 20 years of hard work. (End of this chapter)
