Chapter 75 Ethiopia
It is indeed not important anymore. Endiaye and Reus should explain everything. Now they only need to go to their home to get the video and some other things. As for Li Zhen, they don’t care at all. As Li Zhen said before, he is not a Frenchman and will not participate in the Frenchman’s affairs.
However, it seems that France has a relatively magical tradition. The heroes of this country seem to be not from their own... Being a French hero has no good ending, which is recognized by the whole world.
Half an hour later, Li Zhen, who got the things, left Paris. At the same time, they also found traces of Renault and Maka. These two guys had already left Paris a day ago and went to Ethiopia. Li Zhen was also preparing to go to Ethiopia to capture these two people. Obviously, these two people are the key to Li Zhen finding the hand of God now.
"Xiao Si, find a few clearer photos to General Kaman. Since they have arrived in Ethiopia, they cannot let them run away!"
Ethiopia, located in the northeastern region of Africa, is a major military power in Africa and one of the few powerful countries in Africa. However, what is magically is that this country is the least developed country in the world and the most prone to turmoil.
This country is adjacent to Djibouti, Somalia, and borders Sudan and South Sudan. In addition, there are Kenya and Eritrea. This Eritrea originally belonged to Ethiopia, but in 1993, the region's referendum became independent and became an independent country. Ethiopia's last port was also lost, becoming a landlocked country.
There are many ethnic groups in this country, so there have always been sharp racial problems, which is an important reason for the outbreak of conflict in Ethiopia.
At present, there are many different armed organizations in Ethiopia. In addition to the government forces controlling some important cities, armed fronts, Ethiopian alliance fronts, etc., more than 20 different armed forces are controlling this country in different regions. The most amazing thing is that these armed organizations are militia organizations recognized by the government.
The general meaning is that these armed organizations are different from the anti-government armed groups in other African countries. They do not engage in evil with government forces, but are hostile to each other and kill each other. However, the government forces do not care about the problems between these armed organizations. No matter how powerful the trouble is, they can do so as to not touch the chassis of the government forces. At the same time, the leaders of these armed organizations are leaders recognized by the government.
This is roughly the case, but the main reason is that the supporters behind these armed groups are different, which has caused this situation today. Ethelbia is a relatively rich country with relatively rich resources, with gold, coal mines, copper, iron, oil and natural gas output.
There are many countries around the world who invest and develop here, but Ethiopia's main source of economic resources is agriculture, which is something worth pondering.
Li Zhen arrived in Ethiopia at noon the next day. As soon as his phone turned on, he read more than ten text messages, all sent by Julia, the woman. Obviously, the woman also asked something, but all the valuable things were taken away by Li Zhen.
However, Li Zhen did not plan to give the information to Julia at this time. With this woman's ability and the French Intelligence Agency's confidentiality method like a funnel, it is estimated that the information here will be sent to Renault and Maca on the other side, and Li Zhen did not want to go for a trip in vain.
"How is General Carman now?"
After getting on the bus, Li Zhen slowly asked Kaman, Lat, a leader of the southern ethnic front in Ethiopia. This organization has about 50,000 people, which controls some southern cities. It is one of Li Zhen's customers. Of course, it is not an intelligence customer, but a customer who buys arms.
This guy is quite generous, but Li Zhen doesn't like to trade with this guy because he has no cash, but he has some gold mines, diamond mines and oil fields under his name. After each transaction, he will use these things to pay for the goods. However, the prices of these things fluctuate with the market and are not lucky. If you settle today with oil today, the oil price plummets tomorrow, and you will lose money.
But Li Zhen still has done many business with this guy. Generally speaking, doing business with this guy is more reliable than doing business in South America. At least Kaman will not take out pieces of white bricks to check out with you.
"General Kaman has been trying to buy some heavy weapons recently. Recently, he has had some conflicts with another armed organization, but the scale is not large!"
After hearing this, Li Zhen narrowed his eyes: "Are you heavy weapons? What are you going to tell me in detail?"
"The latest procurement list includes Katyusha rockets, third-generation tanks, armored vehicles and other equipment, but his demand is not high, and Ethiopia has no ports, so it is a bit troublesome to transport them in. People who are able to transport them in feel that the profit is too low, and the general does not want to raise the price, so he has been looking for sellers in the international market!"
After hearing this, Li Zhen nodded slowly. Indeed, the location of Ethiopia determined a very embarrassing problem. After the Ethiopian War, there was no port, and it was more difficult to get goods into Ethiopia. It required land transportation from Somalia to enter Ethiopia.
However, the public security in Somalia has always been worrying. If goods are transported safely, they have to pay a certain price to hand over to local warlords. Somalia has many warlords of all sizes, and they also have to buy a lot of money. If the goods are too small, they will not make any money.
Arms trading is a high-risk industry. Who would be willing to do it without huge profits?
"How much does he need?"
"Twenty tanks, twenty armored vehicles, ten Katyusha launch vehicles, plus ten base ammunition, by the way, he also wants to get some Scud missiles!"
"It's really a little bit small. How much does it cost if we ship it in?"
Li Zhen also has a business in Somalia. He knows some warlords and can save a lot of money by saying hello to the goods across the border. Moreover, he still needs some gifts to ask Kaman for his own business.
"For goods, they may be worth less than 30 million US dollars, and the toll costs one million US dollars, but General Kaman's offer is only 40 million US dollars, and it is used to pay the bill. It will take some time and process for us to take the goods. The profit is very low, not even more than 3 million!"
Xiao Si quickly calculated and gave a price. After hearing this, Li Zhen shook his head. The profit is really pitifully low. Who would be willing to work hard without double the profit of the arms dealer?
