Two days later, Lin Rui set foot on Libyan soil. He was no stranger to the place.

Since the fall of Muammar el-Qaddafi, many Libyan people have been living in extreme precariousness, with their homes destroyed, built and destroyed by artillery fire, jobs deprived, returned to work, and unemployed, power struggles between secular and religious forces, militias enclosed for kings, and Libyan economy stagnated. There is no way to solve all this in the short term, and the freedom that the people of Ibia have worked so hard to achieve is an unstable freedom, a freedom that is not secure. The new "democratic" city that the West has rebuilt in Libya is not what it would have liked.

But none of this has anything to do with the Kudibas chief he is about to visit. In fact, whoever is in power in Libya is ineffective in this land. He is two different from the little chieftains of the African tribes, and he is the real emperor of the earth.

Here, the authority of the head of state is simply inferior to that of the great chief. Because the population of Libya is only about six million, and the sheikh's clan is nearly a million. He has enough capital to be proud of everything in this country, and his status is transcendent.

A limousine decorated with gold took Lin Rui and Jiang'an to the residence of the chief of Kudibas, a luxurious place next to a small lake. Even when the war in Libya was in full swing, not a single shell ever landed here. In areas where water is scarce, the chief owns an artificial lake and even drives a yacht in it.

The golden tent he lived in was extremely luxurious, and even the chairs were trimmed with pure gold. On this kind of hot day, the temperature inside is pleasant, and Lin Rui is the first time to see that there are people in this kind of tent with large air conditioners, and there is also a swimming pool.

The Grand Chief of Kudibas came out of it, he was indeed fat, and even the wide robe could not cover his belly. "It was a pleasure to meet both. The big chief smiled slightly, stretched out his hand with a huge ring, and shook it with Lin Rui, "I have always maintained a good friendship with Mr. Silver Wolf. ”

"It's an honor, Great Chief. Lin Rui nodded, "But we came this time because we have a problem and want to ask for help." ”

"Of course, I've always been responsive to my friends. Grand Chief Kudibas smiled slightly, "Please!"

After sitting down in the tent, Lin Rui explained his intention. Grand Chief Kudibasi frowned, "Two, I'm afraid this won't work, you know they're also my friends. I never do anything to betray my friends. ”

"We're not asking you to betray anyone, we just need some information. Lin Rui said slowly. "The time of the Underground Arms Expo, and the exact address. We need to be able to blend in if it's convenient. ”

A smile appeared on Kudibas's fat face covered with oil, "I know your intentions, but in doing so, my reputation will be damaged." It would be difficult for me to find out that the news had leaked out of me. ”

"They won't know, and no one will know. Just like no one knows about the Rafale you bought last time, several key parts have been resold to Asian countries. These news, the organizers of the expo do not know, nor do the French Dassault companies that bought you. Jiang Jian said in a low voice.

"Are you threatening me, friend?" said Cudibas, grimacing.

"We never threaten a friend, but at least the other person has to prove that he is indeed our friend. Lin Rui said with a smile.

Kudibas shook his head and got up from his wide chair and said, "You know what? No one has ever dared to speak to me like that. No one has ever dared to offend my authority here. Even if the silver wolf came in person, he wouldn't be so arrogant. ”

"He won't, but we will. Lin Rui smiled and said, "Because we have to get what we want." ”

"What if I don't give it?" said Kudibas, shrugging, "I have thousands of private armies, and I have the best bodyguards." You're just a small military company. I have come to see you today in person only out of respect for Mr. Michelle, and out of our past friendship. I'm curious to know, what can you do if I don't give?"

"Don't get me wrong, even if you don't give it, we will respect the Great Chief very much, and there will be no disrespect in the slightest. But in this case, my friendship will probably come to an end. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "And presumably the Great Chief will know very well that we can still have the ability to get what we want." ”

Kudibas looked at him and said, "Young man, I like your bluntness. But I need to know what you want this information to do. ”

"It's not what we want, it's our employer. Lin Rui shook his head and said. "The Great Chief should know our rules, and there is no room for retreat when he takes on the task. ”

"Let me guess, this time, is your employer an American or a Russian?" said Kudibas, looking at Lin Rui and frowning.

"I will not reveal the employer's information, but I can assure the chief that you will never be implicated in this matter. Lin Rui looked at him and said.

Kudibas finally sat his fat body back down, "Well, since you're so determined. However, go back and tell Silver Wolf that he owes me a big favor. Say, what do you want to know?"

"Everything about the Underground Arms Fair. Who organized it, when and where it was held, and how should we get in?" Lin Rui looked at Kudibas and smiled slightly. "That's all we need and it shouldn't bother you. ”

"The organizers of the underground arms fair, no one ever knew who. Whether it's the large military-industrial complex invited, or us, the buyers. No one has ever seen them for what they really are. However, their credibility is outstanding, the participants are profitable, and sometimes there are some big enough surprises. Cudibas shrugged, "To be honest, I like them." ”

"How do they trade?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Cash, transfers, and even diamonds, you know it's very popular in the African region. There are even Bitcoin payments that are currently popular in Europe. In all of these ways, they can manage to avoid tracking. So it's safe. The Grand Chief of Kudibas sighed and said, "It's like a big bazaar, with the military-industrial complex as the seller and us as the buyer." The organizers of the fair will take a few percentage points according to the situation of each transaction. To each one takes what he needs, and everyone is happy. ”

"Where's the expo this time? You should have received an invitation. Lin Rui looked at him and said.

"Yes, this time is different. Kudibas looked at them and said, "This time the expo will be held in the Indian Ocean. ”

"Indian Ocean?" Lin Rui frowned, "I want a specific location?"
