okay say you combine Black Hawk Down with Zheng He's naval expeditions, lol.  He did go to Mogadishu right?  So theres like crazy wailing Middle Eastern music as different ships of the treasure fleet (hover ships obviously as they float through the streets) are like being shot at by a bunch of Somali children with Firelance/rpgs, who wins?  Does Zheng He rue the day he tried to disarm the militia for interfering with his desperately needed porcelain goods he was trying to give out as aide, or will his cuisine reign supreme?

Dude, but he would need some armored support...so, perhaps armored hover crafts too.

but what kind of armored support could Zheng He have?  Maybe a dragon, or at least he could pull out the Chinese new year parade and scare the locals into thinking he had a dragon.

IIRC there were some brothels on Zheng He's ships. Perhaps he could give the 'employees' to the Somalis in return for disarmament?
