Chapter 322: Who is stronger?
Now, it was Ackerman's turn to fall into deep thought.
Before coming, he expected Zhao Qi's various responses to be perfunctory, but he didn't expect Zhao Qi to naively agree, so this made him a little confused. However, Zhao Qi's conditions made Ackerman frown, not because he didn't agree, but because he didn't know how to persuade other opposition forces to "support" Judran, even if it was only in name.
In fact, Zhao Qi is very clear that the opposition forces will not support this condition, simply because they will act in their own interests and will not contribute anything to the competitors. But the West will accept this condition, because it is a good plan for them to kill two birds with one stone for letting the pro-Eastern Judran consume Gaddafi, so the final result should be that the West provides him with these equipment and supplies.
After all, for the West, suppressing the rise of the East is a long-term proposition, and killing Gaddafi is the most urgent thing at the moment.
Speaking of which, we have to talk about why the West hates Gaddafi so much.
The evolution of the situation in Libya can be said to have exceeded everyone's expectations, after all, although Gaddafi has always been at odds with the West before, in recent years he has relented a lot and, at the suggestion of his son, has begun to move closer to the West.
Saif was a key figure in Gaddafi's inner circle, playing public relations and diplomatic roles on behalf of his father. Before the Libyan crisis, he was considered the most likely successor to Qaddafi.
In 03, the United States and other Western countries invaded Iraq. The United States and other Western countries invaded Iraq for two high-sounding reasons: one is Iraq's development of weapons of mass destruction, and the other is Iraq's support for terrorism.
Saif naively believed the unwarranted reasons of the United States. Plus. Gaddafi was greatly influenced by Saif in his later years. So. End of 03. Under the influence of his son Saif Qaddafi, Gaddafi announced that he would abandon his nuclear program and hand over all nuclear facilities and related materials to the United States. China seems to have been criticized by the United States for this, but Gaddafi followed the West and actively assisted Western countries in their fight against al-Qaeda forces. Not only that, but the interests of oil are also trying to satisfy the West. This former anti-Western fighter. From standing to fight the West, he turned into kneeling at the feet of the West on one leg.
Saif and Gaddafi thought that in this way Western countries would let them go, it was simply too young, too simple Tucson to break.
According to common sense, from this level, the West should have a certain favorable impression of Gaddafi after the change of attitude, so why still insist on getting rid of him? The reason is not that Westerners have pumped their brains, but that Gaddafi is too ambitious and has done many things that make the West unhappy.
It can be said that Gaddafi must die in the hearts of Westerners. This will not change because he gives up nuclear weapons and kneels to lick the West.
The reason for this. There are three main points.
One, Gaddafi gave the African people the opportunity to have communications satellites, and this is not just a technical issue. For the West, this is tantamount to uprooting their cash cow.
In '92, 45 African countries decided to have their own satellites, which would cover all communications, including the Internet and telephone communications. But the question is how to find funding for this project? Where does the money come from? They decided to go to the IMF, but touched the ashes of their noses. Why? Because Western countries earn $500 million a year from communications in African countries. $500 million a year, excluding interest, that's how much they earn.
By '07, Gaddafi was willing to pay most of the money for the project, and Africa now had its first communications satellite. It will give countries such as South Africa, Nigeria, Angola, Libya the opportunity to have their own communications satellites that will provide telecommunications services to their people. And this costs only $400 million for African countries, and a one-time cost of $400 million will not cost $500 million a year.
Is there a better deal than this?
Is there anything more infuriating for Westerners?
Second, Gaddafi and African countries decided to create three major banks in Africa. But anyone who understands the weight of finance in today's world knows that this is a very fatal thing for the West.
The first is the African Monetary Fund, which will be headquartered in Jaende, the capital of Cameroon, and they were supposed to be created in one year, this year. With the African Monetary Fund, African countries will no longer have to go to the IMF, so, imagine how much money and influence the West would lose if the African Monetary Fund was created.
The second bank will be the Central Bank of Africa. The headquarters of the African Central Bank will be in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria. What does this bank do? It will stop African countries from using Western currencies, and with this bank, Africa will have its own currency. Gaddafi, again, was willing to bear most of the funding for this project.
The third bank will be headquartered in Libya, called the Investment Bank, and this bank will control most of the investments in Africa, the Central Investment Bank.
Now, think about what happened, Gaddafi did this to break the enslavement of the Western economy, but that was not his purpose, his purpose was to free Africa from the trap of the West, and the African people would gain independence.
Obviously, Western countries do not want this, they are used to being masters, how can they tolerate the rebellion of their slaves?
Third, the reason for Gaddafi's death is related to the United African States, which is almost to challenge the bottom line of the West.
Gaddafi has been pushing African countries to unite, like the United States of America, into a united, independent state.
After all, the first thing European countries do when they come to Africa is to divide the African people, and when you want to destroy a strong family, you have to find a way to make the family infighting, and this is the first thing that Western countries do, to prevent the unification of Africa, and to prevent Africa from becoming strong.
And the second thing that the West is doing in Africa is even more outrageous, preventing education! The West uses various means to ensure that the people of Africa are not educated. In today's world, education is the key to success, and Gaddafi's unequivocal promotion of education and helping other countries to provide education is also something that touches the bottom line of the West.
With the above three points, it can be seen that whether Gaddafi is a tyrant or not, what he has done over the years is beneficial to the African people and countries, and it is a challenge to the West. What makes the West even more angry is not the challenge itself, but the seeds and ideas that he sowed, if he does not pay the price of his life and does not let other African countries see the consequences of challenging the West, even if the West extinguishes this challenge, there will be a second and third time.
So, Gaddafi must die.
"Gaddafi must die!" Ackerman said to Zhao Qi after a long thought. Actually, this sentence is not for Zhao Qi, but for himself, and he is looking for reasons to support his next choice. Ackerman looked at Zhao Qi and said, "The current opposition forces are still very weak, and their equipment and supplies are very scarce, so it is difficult for them to provide equipment for the Judran forces." However, I would persuade the West to give the Judran Armed Forces some support within their means, and they would receive a hundred trucks, ten self-propelled guns, and some supplies. ”
Obviously, Ackerman was well aware of the strife and selfishness within the opposition, and knew that they would never support Judran, so he gritted his teeth and paid for it himself. In fact, the warlords within the opposition do not care whether Judran lives or dies, only the West itself cares, because behind Judran is China, and he is an outlier in the opposition. This doomed Judran to differing views within the West and the opposition.
"That's fine! I'll try to convince General Judran! Zhao Qi replied with satisfaction, "However, he once said that at least three armed helicopters are needed to ensure reconnaissance and command capabilities!" Otherwise, after falling into the encirclement of the government-government army, it will be too difficult for them! ”
"It's hard to get a gunship, it's an armament, it's not an ordinary machine, it's hard for us to get it."
"I know you're in a difficult situation, but I'm just passing on General Judran's advice. You know, as a peace-loving Chinese, I don't like to get involved in war. Zhao Qi shrugged, "Oh, that's right! It occurred to me that I would be leaving Benghazi early to-morrow morning, and I wondered if I would be able to meet with General Judran again to help you out. After all, General Judran is also very busy. ”
"Good! Three helicopter gunships, we can guarantee delivery. However, as soon as the equipment arrived, Judran's armament had to rush to the front immediately, leaving at most a thousand soldiers to maintain law and order in Ajdabiya Province. Can it be done? ”
"Yes! But ......"
"No but!"
"Well, no but...... However, General Judran was busy and, it seemed, did not seem to want much assistance from the West. So, the people you gave me with these equipment, I will arrange for someone to send them to General Judran. ”
Zhao Qi smiled and said, "I'm cheating, this is a traditional Chinese trick, okay?" When did Westerners dare to play big knives in front of the Chinese in this regard?
Ackerman stared at Zhao Qi angrily, but finally nodded. Of course, this was just for show, and he was very happy in his heart.
If Zhao Qi didn't make the last request, he would still suspect Zhao Qi's motives, and now he completely believed that Zhao Qi had been fooled. In order to gain Judran's gratitude and loyalty, he even promised to push Judran's team to the front, and as long as the plan was achieved, Ackerman would win. Even if Judran doesn't go, Ackerman has enough excuse to beat other opposition forces to besiege Judran's forces, so, no matter what, Ackerman will uproot Zhao Qi's minions.
And he didn't know what Zhao Qi was thinking at this time, otherwise, he would definitely want to cry without tears.
Zhao Qi lit a cigarette and thought, there is a lot of this equipment, and with a little more chips, China will definitely make the opposition compete to be the vanguard, right? When the time comes, in the face of the opposition forces who take the initiative to ask for help, how will the Freemasons force Judran to fight? (To be continued.) )
