Chapter 3758: Exchange terms

"Are you talking about war?" Lin Rui frowned. "Who to fight, Morocco? Western Sahara does not have that strong military strength."
Aladdin nodded and said, "Indeed. And recently, the Royal Moroccan Army received a batch of M1A1SA Abrams main battle tanks from the United States. So far, the country has nearly 200 Abrams, not including that. China sold 54 VT-1A main battle tanks in 2011, as well as 148 T-72B, 427 M60A3 and other main battle tanks that retreated to the second line.
Judging from the paper figures alone, Morocco’s armored force can already surpass the position on the Western European platoon. It should be known that even Germany, which is famous for its tanks, only maintains the armor of 400 Leopard 2A6 main battle tanks. force. But even so, no one would think that Morocco's military might surpass Germany. "
Lin Rui was silent for a while and said, "Does the secret society really want to use Western Sahara to start a war with Morocco?"
"Do you know that people in our business often mention the so-called West Africa arms race?" Aladdin smiled slightly without answering directly.
"Your business refers to arms dealers?" Lin Rui shook his head, "I don't know much about your industry."
"Morocco’s military force is quite powerful. This military force is a mix of heavy weapons from the East and the West. It can be said to be an arrow on the string that is always ready to go. Not only is the quantity scary, but the quality and actual combat results are not bad. As for what this arrow points to, It is Algeria, Morocco's neighbor.
Speaking of this Algeria, that can really scare people to death. Algeria already has more than 500 T-90S tanks that Vietnam can only afford after emptying their pockets, almost more than the T-90A used by the Russians.
In addition, Algeria has 500 T-72s in service. This number, even if it is not in Africa, it is a heavyweight presence in Europe.
In this way, you can probably understand why Morocco should buy 200 expensive Abrams in one go, because facing more than 1,000 Soviet third-generation main battle tanks, it is too difficult to establish the same number advantage. .
Not only tanks, the Moroccan Air Force has F-16C-block52, and it also forms a confrontation with Algeria's Su-30MKA. Therefore, it is often jokingly called the West African Military Competition within our industry. These are our important customers. "
Lin Rui frowned, "Compared to other African countries, this is really rich and powerful, a bit like the Gulf countries in the Middle East."
Aladdin nodded, "That's right. The reason and the source of funding for the overweight arms race in the Gulf countries are all oil, while Morocco and Algeria, the two West African countries confrontation and the arms race are due to phosphate minerals that are as important as oil. .
Among Morocco, Algeria and Mauritania, there is a piece of Western Sahara that has been recognized by the international community as a land of no owner. And this Western Sahara has an estimated reserve of more than 10 billion tons, called white gold phosphate mineral.
What is the concept of 10 billion tons? Morocco, together with its actual control of Western Sahara, currently accounts for more than 40% of the world’s phosphate production. With this 40% share, Morocco can continue to do business for 500 years, and the reserves of 10 billion tons are still available. There is leftover.
The reason why the problem of Western Sahara has not been resolved is because of this huge wealth. Although Morocco occupies most of the territory of Western Sahara, it is not recognized by the international community, which is not justified. In other words, although you control it, you actually preempted it. Not to mention the Western Saharans’ dissatisfaction, nor international recognition.
Algeria has been secretly supporting Western Sahara. In fact, these aspects have always maintained a delicate balance.
The emergence of secret agencies will break this balance. The two countries of Morocco and Algeria are constraining each other, and Western Sahara, which is secretly funded by the secret society, will grow and slowly eat away its own territory. And they have valid reasons.
Under the banner of national independence, drive away the invaders and retake the land that belongs to them. There is no more just cause in the world. What's more, they will get support from Arab countries in the Middle East. I have to admit that the secret agency played a good hand. "
Lin Rui was silent for a while and said, "If this is the case, it won't be a little troublesome than before. Morocco and Algeria both have considerable military strength. Will the secret society dare to take such a big risk?"
"The secret society is never a trivial mess, and they are never afraid of big things. And because Morocco and Algeria contain each other, and the situation is too big, it is easy to be interfered by Western powers, so this is not destined to cause a big war. The upper limit can only be a local conflict. The secret agency is good at using this local conflict to get what you want." Aladdin whispered.
"Is there any way to stop this?" Lin Rui asked.
"This is a long-term strategy of the secret society. In the long run, they cannot give up. Even if you get rid of Said, it will not help." Aladdin nodded, "Perhaps you should start disposing of all the assets in Western Sahara. But in a short period of time, there are corresponding measures."
"What way?" Lin Rui asked.
"The secret society cannot forcibly intervene in Western Sahara. They can only do this with the help of the armed organizations in Western Sahara, and the armed organizations in Western Sahara have many factions. Said is just one of the warlords, and this man has a bad reputation. , Many people regard him as a terrorist." Aladdin replied.
"You mean, start with Said?" Lin Rui whispered.
"Yes, this person has a complicated background. It can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages for the secret society to support him. The advantage is that this person has a certain military strength in Western Sahara, but the disadvantage is that this person has a very unclean background. There have been a lot of shameful activities. I have a lot of information about Said’s involvement in planning terrorist attacks, and I will disclose these to the French.
The French would warn the Orumi Federation to keep their distance from this person. In this case, the secret agency must also choose another person to act as their agent. Although it cannot solve the fundamental problem, it can cause some trouble to the secret agency in a short time. "Aladdin replied.
"It's that simple?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, this can slow them down and give you enough time to deal with your investment projects in Western Sahara. I think these are what Silver Wolf Michelle hopes most." Aladdin replied.
"Are you willing to help us like this?" Lin Rui frowned. "Are there any conditions?"
"This is the key to the question. I have to be the secret agency, otherwise they will deal with me. But I am not a philanthropist. I need to be paid for what I do. I can help you solve this problem , But in exchange, you must also help me." Aladdin replied with a smile.
