Chapter 332: Miracle Victory
It seems that Zhao Qi went to Libya on a sudden whim, and then ran back to China without doing anything, and then it was a repeat of his best way of eating and waiting for death. As if, he didn't do anything, at least, without seeing any meaning.
In Libya, the oil fields under Jalil's control have increased, but not much, which is not much different from before the war, except that the oil that attacked China has increased a lot due to the improvement of transportation in the initial situation of the war. Outside of Ajdabiya Province, China has not carved up a single bit of oil resources, but has been constantly subsidizing money for charity and infrastructure construction, looking like a huge fool. After all, the West is now like a typhoon passing through, frantically devouring all the valuable resources of Libya, eating fiercely and ugly, without the slightest gentlemanly demeanor that they themselves proclaim, but rather a beggar who has been hungry all his life.
Two months later, on October 20th.
Libyan "National Transitional Council" militants say they have captured Gaddafi in Sirte. The latter was arrested in an abandoned sewer pipe in his hometown of Sirte, where he was killed by a series of fatal shots to the head and abdomen after being brutally abused.
With the death of Gaddafi, it was as if peace had really come.
Two days later, the Libyan opposition forces announced that they had taken control of the Libyan panorama and announced the liberation of the country, beginning the transition process.
At the same time, the Western media and the public chanted that this was a victory for Western justice, that it was Western aid that allowed Libyans to be cooked and free, and that Libya would have a very bright tomorrow. There are even people in China who complain about China's opposition to Western intervention in Libya, believing that China cannot use military force to make profits for the country. Not even courage and justice against autocrats like Gaddafi.
But. Only those who have actually been to Libya know. Everything was fine in Libya back then, except for Gaddafi. And now, some Libyans have even regretted it, and now everything is bad, except for the Gaddafi who used to look very hateful, because although Gaddafi is hateful, he can bring everyone security and prosperity.
The dish-cooked war in Libya was quite successful. It has succeeded in tearing apart an independent, rich and fertile country, saddled with huge debts that will not be paid off for decades, and God knows how these debts came about. Moreover, after a brief period of authoritarianism in which Libyans made their fortune on oil, they have returned to the dark ages of poverty and backwardness that existed to the West a hundred years ago. None of the country's important resources are still in the hands of the country itself, except for the bills.
But is Libya really peaceful? Not really! The war continues, although the media is constantly whitewashing the peace. But it doesn't change the facts. In Libya, some of the tribes and armed forces that once supported Gaddafi. It gradually evolved into an extreme force, still at war with the opposition authorities. Within the opposition, because the division of interests and power is uneven, there are often scuffles between warlords.
This creates a very peculiar spectacle, with opposition politicians proclaiming that peace has arrived, and warlords swooping out with machine guns in the audience.
Today in Libya, warlords are fighting, who will care? Who will cast that so-called sacred ballot?
In Gaddafi's time, the entire country's army was just over 70,000 people, of which 40,000 were regulars. In the two or three years since Qaddafi's death, the number of armed forces in the country has reached as high as 300,000, and various violent incidents and armed conflicts have emerged one after another.
In the chaotic days of Libya, the Westerners, who had plundered and exploited openly and openly, became more and more difficult, and gradually, they found that the increasingly violent situation in Libya had made their money go down the drain, and they could not make any money at all, and they had the idea of retreating. At this moment, China appeared in an amiable attitude, of course, in the eyes of the outside world, this is a manifestation of stupidity and money.
Naturally, the Western businessmen who bought the mines and oil fields began to look for Chinese businessmen to take over their assets, but the Chinese businessmen suddenly became reserved and expressed their reluctance to take over. Westerners had to gradually lower prices and eventually sell at a loss to Chinese merchants, for whom they were the receivers who could sell for a penny before the capital had completely lost its value, and it was clear that they had lost their vision of these resources that they had once dreamed of.
In the end, in less than three years, almost all of these important resources, which were divided by the West, fell into the hands of the Chinese. However, what is surprising is that after the Chinese businessman took over, instead of continuing to lose money, he quickly began to make profits. It turns out that because China has been committed to the construction of infrastructure in Libya, the interests of China and various parts of the armed forces of Libya converge, and the other side does not exclude and curb China's exploitation of resources at all, but fully supports it.
Of course, this is also because part of the interests of the Chinese Merchant Association is contributed to "protectors" and "friends". However, this does not mean that the Chinese merchants have done a loss-making business, they have earned back the money they have given out in the business of infrastructure and daily necessities, and they have earned it back together, as well as the friendship and trust of the local forces.
This state of affairs lasted until a year and a half, when the situation in Libya had completely deteriorated, the warlords were fighting more and more, and the West had fallen into the shadow of black terror, and it had no time to take care of North Africa because of Russia's advance in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
It can be said that four years of painstaking operation have won excellent opportunities for Dragon Tooth Fund and China. With the support of the Dragon's Tooth Fund, Jalil, who had not reaped any additional benefits, was firmly nailed to the province of Ajdabia, and began to conquer the city in all directions. Because he has an absolutely elite soldier in his hand, the Eastern Tiger Snake, Jalil's team is often invincible, so that the forces that are enemies with him will surrender one after another.
By 16 years, Jalil's forces had taken control of the entire eastern region, confronting dozens of warlords in the west. At the same time, Jalil claims to be the guardian of Libyan oil and wants to prevent the West from squeezing and enslaving Libya with oil.
With Jalil's frenzied expansion, China's position in North Africa has also been consolidated. Not only in Libya, but also in other countries in North Africa, China is increasingly dominant, and more and more countries are choosing China over the West to invest in their resources and infrastructure.
This is to win with the right combination, and Zhao Qi's plan was still successful in the end.
Of course, that's all for later.
At the end of the year, the West and China were still in a strange equilibrium in North Africa, and at the same time, the West was trying to completely expel Chinese capital from Libya by virtue of its absolute influence in the opposition. Of course, they did not succeed, because, the Masonic mentor Ackerman, who carried out this plan, died. (To be continued.) )
