Chapter 2977: Sources of funds

Lin Rui nodded and said, "It is true. But currently we are at a complete disadvantage in confronting them."
"The disadvantage is only temporary. As the fighting in Africa intensifies. The secret society and terrorists will get closer and closer, and this connection will ultimately lead to their failure." Silver Wolf said slowly.
"You mean that the United States and France and other African anti-terrorist alliance countries will detect the connection between the Olumi Federation and the secret agency, and then discover their connection with terrorist organizations." Lin Rui replied.
"Yes, the trick of crossing the sky over the sea will not last long. Especially the current situation between the secret society and the terrorist organization." Silver Wolf got up and walked.
"Why? They are currently hiding very well, and we cannot prove that the Olumi Federation is under the control of the secret society. Although the United Kingdom and the United States and other countries know the inside story, they hope to use the Olumi Federation to achieve their own presence in Africa. The special purpose in counter-terrorism. From this perspective, it is almost impossible to detect the trade between the secret agency and the terrorist organization." Lin Rui nodded.
Silver Wolf nodded and whispered, "Your worry is not unreasonable, but let's go back and think about it. What the secret society wants is to control the Olumi Federation and expand the surrounding area. They don't want to be real. Anti-terrorism. Participating in the anti-terrorist alliance is to use the name of combating terrorism to achieve armed control over the surrounding areas. Do you think this is the case?
Lin Rui nodded, "Yes."
"Then, they must exaggerate the capabilities of terrorists, and even use certain means to support these terrorist organizations. And now they do this." Silver Wolf nodded, "Our judgment is correct on this point. right?"
"Yes." Lin Rui nodded.
"Moreover, the purpose of the secret agency is to expand their influence by fostering terrorist organizations and sing anti-terrorist wars with the Olumi Federation. Therefore, they must ultimately gain the trust of the United States and France and establish themselves in the Sahel. To achieve this goal, we must fight against terrorist organizations.
So the differences between them and the terrorists are sooner or later. The secret society organization is dancing on the tip of a knife, and any mistake will make them inhumane inside and out. "Silver Wolf Michelle whispered, "We only need one chance, but before the opportunity comes, we can only endure it." "
Lin Rui was silent.
"A cheetah will follow a prey for a long time, but it only takes ten seconds to launch an attack. Hold these ten seconds, and it will win. So do we." Silver Wolf Michelle whispered.
"So we still have to continue to be patient, and the secret society and the Olumi Federation will not wait for us. They will take this opportunity to flex their muscles." Lin Rui whispered.
"Yes. But we just want them to flex their muscles. Because they hide well, when they do not move, there will be no flaws. Once they move, many flaws will be exposed, and some of them The flaws are beyond their control." Silver Wolf said calmly.
"I understand." Lin Rui nodded.
Silver Wolf smiled slightly, "Say something happy. The last time you disclosed the missile information to the Russian intelligence agency worked. This week, several terrorist camps were infiltrated by unidentified armed forces. It should be Russia. The intelligence services of the United States. This has aroused the vigilance of the secret agency, and they have suspended the missile deployment plan."
"The suspension of the missile deployment plan is of great significance to anti-terrorism operations." Lin Rui nodded.
"Yes, not only is the pressure on the joint forces much smaller. There will also be a lot of differences between major terrorist organizations." Lin Rui nodded, "After all, many terrorist organizations talk to them because of the weapons and funds provided by the secret society. cooperating.
These terrorist organizations have their own goals, but they all try to expand their territory and influence. Differences in weapon support can easily cause their internal problems. "
"Yes, so it is actually quite uncomfortable to be in the position of the secret society now." Silver Wolf smiled slightly, "These troubles are found by themselves. It is estimated that they will have a headache to appease the terrorists for a while. It just happens that we can. Let’s talk about the others."
"What else?" Lin Rui frowned, "Another commission?"
"Smart. This is because your last action was very efficient and was recognized by your employer." Silver Wolf nodded, "Of course it is not an American this time, but a French. They have a very good plan. To deter terrorists to a certain extent. Start with the funding sources of these terrorist organizations."
"Source of funds for terrorists?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Almost all terrorist organizations have their own sources of funds. Because terrorist organizations need a lot of financial support to launch terrorist attacks, their financing channels are firstly through investment in the open economic field; secondly, through smuggling, drug trafficking, and reselling. Illegal economic activities such as arms and money laundering; the third is to rely on external funding. The French believe that studying the economic sources of terrorist organization crime has important practical significance for cutting off terrorist organizations’ financial channels and combating terrorist crimes.
Silver Wolf nodded Tao.
"This is very insightful." Lin Rui nodded.
"This is a question we have been discussing these days. Terrorist organizations don't just raise funds for kidnapping, extortion, robbery, and drug trafficking. They have also learned to diversify their sources of income. Al Qaeda is engaged in credit card fraud in Europe, and Hezbollah is in The United States sells fake Viagra, Iraqi terrorists sell ancient cultural relics on eBay, the Somali Al-Shabaab smuggles ivory and rhino horns to the Far East, and the Provisional Irish Republican Army can even use fake exports and fake projects to cheat subsidies and taxes from the British government." Silver Wolf sighed. In a sigh of relief, "The world is changing, and the methods used by terrorist organizations to collect money are also changing."
Lin Rui nodded, "Indeed, terrorist organizations without a reliable source of economic resources cannot be maintained. Especially after 2000, those terrorist organizations that cannot transition from'instant use' to reliable economic planning have basically disappeared. All the surviving terrorist organizations have learned to diversify their sources of income."
Michelle Silver Wolf nodded, "These terrorist organizations have turned their military advantage into a source of funding. The Somali Youth Army often recruits professional poachers to attack the nature reserve in neighboring Kenya. After the youth army has opened its way, professional poachers Responsible for hunting elephants and rhinos, unloading ivory and rhino horns.
According to the French intelligence, within a year, the Somali youth army shot and killed 60 elephant sanctuary patrols and 30,000 elephants in Kenya and other countries. Recently, the number of rhino poaching cases supported by the Youth Army has doubled from the previous year.
The rhino horns and ivory vendors obtained from poaching went to Far Eastern countries that love dental sculptures and believe that rhino horns can cure impotence and other diseases, generating a steady stream of cash income for the Somali youth army. According to the statistics of civil organizations dedicated to elephant protection, the illegal ivory trade brought about by poaching provides the Somali youth army with a monthly income of 200,000 to 600,000 US dollars, accounting for 40% of the terrorist organization's income source.
