Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 284: Underhand

Kosov, a rough middle-aged man, a powerful warlord.

Of course, the so-called strong strength does not refer to central Somalia. In Zhou Yuanqiang's view, it is simply a joke. If it were taken to the whole world, I am afraid that a platoon from some countries could scatter them. It's just Somalia.

Due to the national conditions, it is destined to dominate even with a native gun.

When he received the news that Zhou Yuanqiang was coming to visit, Kossov's first thought was that the big benefactor was going to send money again.

It’s just that Kossov’s rough mind really couldn’t figure out what else he had in his hands that was worthy of a visit from this big money owner. You know, in just one month, he had already obtained Somalia’s international rights through various methods.

With the approval of the legal government, he sold all his interests in the area where he was stationed, including mining, animal husbandry, road management, and railway construction rights.

Kossov doesn't feel sad at all about doing this. For him, more than 10 million US dollars is enough to expand his strength tenfold. Maybe... if he is lucky, he will become the fourth autonomous country to break away from Somalia.

president.

And there is another point. These benefits were all signed to him in his own station, and he was not the one who benefited? Kossov never considered himself a benevolent person, and he could even break the contract when necessary.

, Anyway, this place in Somalia is a mess. Who would stand up and meddle in other people’s business?

The peacekeeping troops sent by those countries and the statements made by those countries are all idle and have nothing to do. This approach simply does not work in Somalia, otherwise the civil strife would not have been plaguing Masori, and the mediation of the United Nations would not work.

Even if it doesn't have any effect, I'll still hit what should be hit, and what shouldn't be hit, I'll hit it anyway.

Thinking of this big benefactor, Kossov knew that he had spent a lot of U.S. dollars in Somalia in just two months. Of course, Kossov didn't dare to neglect such a big benefactor. After receiving the news,

He immediately had some food carefully prepared in the town controlled by his camp, as well as several bottles of imported red wine that even Kossov was reluctant to drink.

When Zhou Yuanqiang arrived, it was evening. He was driving a military Hummer bought from an underground arms dealer. Two of Zhou Yuanqiang's men were manning the heavy machine guns on the vehicle. Yellow bullet chains were scattered under the sunset.

A golden light shines out.

To be honest, the town where Kosov is located has a population of about 5,000, so it can be considered a big town.

It's just that everything in this town makes Zhou Yuanqiang always shake his head every time he sees it. Because the entire town is almost entirely made of mud houses, all of which are mainly one-story buildings, and two-story buildings are rarely seen.

The terrain here is somewhat like a wasteland, but it has more plants than the wasteland. There are scattered trees on both sides of the dirt road-like streets. There are almost no traces of cars here, and most of them use horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts.

Zhou Yuanqiang's military Hummer appeared and flew past the street. It raised a huge plume of mud smoke and caused scattered pedestrians on the street to cover their heads and faces with their clothes.

"Sin, sin, sin..." Zhou Yuanqiang sat in the passenger seat, looking at the billowing mud smoke that looked like a mud dragon. In fact, he didn't want to do this, but this mud road was covered with thick mud and dust, and the Hummer's wheels could not even drive.

No matter how slow it is, mud smoke will rise.

Kosov's military camp, just two kilometers north of the town, was also built with some earthen and wooden houses and very few tents. Surrounding the entire military camp was a row of spectacular wooden fences.

In Zhou Yuanqiang's opinion, the entire military camp is slightly better than the refugee camp. Perhaps the only thing that makes Zhou Yuanqiang satisfied is that the military camp is built on the edge of a small forest. There is no need to worry about finding a cool place under the scorching sun.

. Just think about these low mud houses. When the sun shines, they are absolutely sweltering and their clothes will become wet with sweat in a moment.

At the gate of the military camp, Kossov, of course, personally came out to greet Zhou Yuanqiang, a big financial backer.

"My partner, it's a pleasure to have you here!"

Kossov gave Zhou Yuanqiang who jumped out of the car a hug, with a smile on his dark face. The officers accompanying him all gave Zhou Yuan a military salute.

Zhou Yuanqiang smiled and said, "General Kossov, you're welcome."

At the entrance of the military camp, there are only four soldiers on duty. On both sides is a towering wooden tower with two light machine guns placed on it. Most of the soldiers here use AK47, and a few of them also use some weapons from other countries in the 1940s and 1950s.

Semi-automatic rifle. I saw the Mosin-Nagant rifle carried by several soldiers on patrol. The paint on it was almost peeled off and it was polished until it was shiny.

Seeing this, even Zhou Yuanqiang was stunned. The Mosin-Nagant rifles, which were retired from the Soviet army in 1955, can still be seen here and continue to function. It is really surprising. Sure enough...

…The Somali army is very good, very powerful, so powerful that they all use antique guns.

Somalia's army is very deformed.

The first is that their weapons are of all kinds. If they lack weapons, they will equip them as long as they are weapons, and they will never care about your logistics. Even some troops, when they train, they only use wooden sticks because of the lack of weapons.

, in the 21st century, it is definitely a big joke. But... the Somali government forces are such a joke.

Second, while they are not even equipped with light weapons, they have many advanced weapons like those of the former Soviet Union, but they have their equipment, such as rocket launchers, even Kosov has two. There are also a few leaked from the former Soviet Union.

Go to the black market and buy the artillery from them.

In Kosov's military camp, hundreds of soldiers had finished their training for the day in the evening, and it was time to eat.

After entering the small courtyard built in the woods where Kosov lived, a few electrical appliances were placed here to give the place a bit of a modern atmosphere.

Zhou Yuanqiang can’t say whether he likes or dislikes Somali food. It’s a very neutral taste. But here, Zhou Yuanqiang is a little uncomfortable with the etiquette that needs to be paid attention to when eating. This is what you need to do when eating.

There is a little bit of food left at the end to show that you are full. If you finish eating, it means you are still hungry, which is very rude.

Obviously, Kossov had prepared it. He opened a small stove and placed several exquisite Chinese dishes on it.

After sitting down, Kossov introduced: "This is what I specially prepared for you. Although you are already a citizen of Somalia, your Chinese identity will not change. In a foreign country, I hope that these few days will not change."

A Chinese dish can help you feel less homesick. Please forgive me if it’s not done well.”

Zhou Yuanqiang tasted a few mouthfuls, and of course he praised it greatly. It is not as good as the domestic level, but it is already good abroad.

After drinking a little wine, Kossov waved the orderly down and said directly: "Zhou, I don't know what you are looking for when you come here this time? I know that you, a busy man, will not come to visit if you have nothing to do.

.Please tell me directly..."

"General Kossov, I came here mainly because I heard that you are short of weapons, and I happen to have a batch of weapons. I think you will definitely be interested."

In fact, Kosov is a rough man, and it is rare and valuable to be so polite. Zhou Yuanqiang did not make any detours, and directly pointed it out: "The general should know that to survive here, there is no doubt that the big fish will eat the small fish."

Survival game, I think General, you must be an ambitious person, so I think that strengthening your strength is the most correct choice. You must know that I am a businessman, and the person who gets a large amount of US dollars from me,

Not a few..."

The underlying meaning is already very clear. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you want to continue to be a warlord, you must strengthen your armed forces.

When Kosov heard Zhou Yuanqiang's words, he was stunned. He opened his eyes wide and said, "Zhou, are you kidding me? When did you change your career to become an arms dealer?" But he quickly shook his head.

Said: "No, no, no, I don't lack weapons. Look at our young men outside. They are strong and well-armed. I don't think there is a need to purchase them."

Just these AK47s and old-fashioned rifles that are toothless, how dare you say they are well-equipped?

Zhou Yuanqiang is completely speechless. Kossov has received tens of millions of dollars in love, but he refuses to spit it out. Could it be that if he loses power, he will go abroad to become a rich man and live a good life?

Half a lifetime? This is certainly not in your own interests.

Therefore, Zhou Yuanqiang certainly expressed doubts about Kossov's words and did not think he had sufficient weapons.

Kossov was cheerful and said: "It seems that Zhou You need to get to know my guys well." He waved to the adjutant next to him. The adjutant understood, walked out, blew the assembly horn, and there was a moment.

, the entire military camp was full of soldiers rushing out. It was just their gathering that made Zhou Yuanqiang shake his head in addition to shaking his head. After training for so long, it turned out that a simple gathering took hundreds of people nearly ten minutes to line up.

"Zhou, look at our boys, they are the best."

Kosov accompanied Zhou Yuanqiang and walked in front of more than a dozen teams, patted one of the sturdy soldiers and said, he also picked up a brand-new AK47 from the soldier's hand, handed it to Zhou Yuanqiang, and said: "This is a soldier who just came from Yemen.

Weapons, their products are indeed very cheap, and the quality is very reassuring.”

Zhou Yuanqiang just smiled and said: "General Kossov, let's take a look at the goods I brought, Chinese standard weapons."

At Zhou Yuanqiang's signal, his men who had been waiting for a long time moved several boxes from the military Humvee. The first gun was, of course, the Type 81 automatic rifle that had been eliminated by the Chamber of Commerce. This rifle was stored and sealed in the Chamber of Commerce.

More than 60,000. The second weapon is a recoilless rifle manufactured by the Chamber of Commerce, and the third is an armored killer rocket launcher...

In the eyes of developed countries, these weapons are no different from garbage, but in Somalia, they are already very advanced weapons.

Of course Kossov is a knowledgeable person, but while swallowing his saliva, he still shook his head and said: "Zhou, I have enough weapons now, and there is no need to expand the army. You must know that the above has restricted our soldiers.

Quantity, so..." He shrugged, still refusing to open the opening of his pocket.

Zhou Yuanqiang did not force it, because he suddenly figured out one thing. Looking at the civil strife in Somalia, it seemed that warlords were constantly staging conflicts and constantly changing warlords. This meant that this kind of armed conflict often

Some weak people will be annexed. And there will be some new people who can form a team to fight against the government forces.

Kossov still belongs to the government army, but he usually listens to propaganda but not the instructions. Sometimes he conflicts with the anti-government armed forces, mostly for his own interests.

Another interesting phenomenon may be that weapons are too important to the Somali government forces. At night, their weapons are taken back and managed uniformly. Only soldiers on patrol will be issued weapons, such as machine guns.

It's totally like a baby, not to mention a powerful weapon like a rocket launcher.

When leaving the Kosov military camp, Zhou Yuanqiang was not depressed. The reason was simple. When he set out, he did not hold the hope of success, but with the purpose of inquiring.

Just doing arms business here in this capacity is still very dangerous, and this is not his way out. It seems that he has so many benefits in his hands, which is nothing more than laying an excuse for his future actions.

It was just a foreshadowing. Zhou Yuanqiang also believed that they would not sincerely give these to him, but only saw the money in their hands.

When we returned to the site of our 100,000-acre steel plant north of Mogadishu, it was already completely dark.

There are complete weapons here, all of whom are carefully selected by Shehade. Their backgrounds and conduct are all first-class. In this poor and backward place, Zhou Yuanqiang wants to make them work for him. It is very simple. This is

One dollar bill after another. At least if you work for yourself, you will immediately receive a settlement allowance of one thousand U.S. dollars.

One thousand U.S. dollars is enough in Somalia, where the average annual GDP per person is only a few dozen dollars. It is considered a huge sum of money and can allow a family to live a very good life. Therefore, these hundreds of strong people

The strong, young boys were naturally dedicated to working for Zhou Yuanqiang, and they had long forgotten about any race or tribe.

In order to train these one hundred young men, Zhou Yuanqiang also spent a lot of money. They must be well fed and well clothed, and the weapons are all Type 81, which is definitely powerful.

If you are a foreigner, no matter how rich you are, having such weapons is not tolerated by Somalis. But Zhou Yuanqiang is an immigrant and can be considered a member of the Somalis. It is this seemingly unnecessary

However, Zhou Yuanqiang's identity allowed him to possess armed forces. In addition to his status as a businessman, the local government didn't even care about it and pretended not to notice it.

Of course, the US dollars Zhou Yuanqiang secretly spent on some officials also played a key role.

After the general put the Humvee away and Zhou Yuanqiang told him not to disturb him, he showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, then quietly left the steel plant and disappeared under the vast night. The outskirts of Mogadishu have a very flat terrain.

, allowing Zhou Yuanqiang to run wildly, there are few people around, and it is at night, so there is no need to worry about anyone discovering him.

In just over twenty minutes, Zhou Yuanqiang reappeared outside Kosov's military camp.

For Zhou Yuanqiang, the wooden fence is simply a joke. He can enter and exit freely like a US military base. Why do he have to worry about a small and broken military camp? There is only a two-meter-high wooden fence. Zhou Yuanqiang just pulls onions on dry land and jumps directly.

In the past, based on everything observed during the day, the soldiers patrolling by would certainly not discover Zhou Yuanqiang's existence.

It was only nine o'clock at this time, lights were on everywhere in the military camp, and the laughter of soldiers could be heard from time to time. Occasionally, people would come in and out of the military camp, as if they were looking for entertainment in the town.

Zhou Yuanqiang even despised Kosov. In his hands, a good military camp was like a place full of loopholes. The soldiers were poorly trained, the system was not sound, discipline was extremely poor, and vigilance was lax. Under Zhou Yuanqiang

It seems that the combat power of the People's Liberation Army can disperse this ragtag group of people with just one squad.

I found the armory where guns are managed uniformly in the military camp. There were only two soldiers standing at the door, walking around casually, and their defenses were very lax.

Zhou Yuanqiang used his speed and darkness to easily reach a window of the armory. This wooden armory really made Zhou Yuanqiang dumbfounded. Could it be that they were too confident that warlords would not take advantage of others?

?It’s Kosov’s misfortune that he fell in love with him.

There was nothing to say. He opened the window gently and entered the armory without making a sound. He put all the various weapons arranged in rows into the storage space. Let Zhou Yuanqiang

Surprisingly, there were only more than 300 weapons of all kinds, grenades, shells, etc. in the military camp that was said to have 600 people. It was even more pitiful, and he looked like a beggar.

Thinking that the anti-government forces were worse than the government forces, Zhou Yuanqiang began to shake his head. If it were a world war, like Somalia, there would probably be no room for resistance other than immediate surrender.

After emptying out the entire armory without even missing a pistol or bullet, Zhou Yuanqiang quietly slipped out of the armory again, but when he left, he left a little gift, which was a

At Zhou Yuanqiang's request, the modified time bomb was powerful enough to turn a large area of ​​the mechanical depot into ashes, leaving no trace behind.

When the time comes, I believe that Kossov will definitely be ecstatic after receiving this gift.

But before he could die, Zhou Yuanqiang still needed to get back the U.S. dollars he had collected from him. He didn't want Kossov, who had these U.S. dollars, to make a comeback and waste all his hard work. Of course.

, Sometimes Zhou Yuanqiang also thinks that giving him a bullet would be a better solution to the problem, but what he needs is a legitimate opportunity.
