Chapter 331: I Can't Afford to Lose
The grandson of the soldier saint said: With the right fit, with the odd victory.
The meaning of this sentence is not a strange trick, but that when playing with others, you must compete with them head-on, but always reserve a surplus army in a secret place. In other words, you always have to have one more hole card than your opponent to ensure victory.
Similarly, when you are not sure of victory, it is also a good choice to hide your strength and wait for the enemy to reveal their vulnerability, and then strike a single blow to kill.
The method of righteousness and wonder is also the art of avoiding the real and attacking the false, and avoiding the real and attacking the false is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and only the barbarians in Europe and the United States like to donate blood without looking back. Therefore, it makes sense that Zhao Qi did not let Lao Chen attack Libya's oil fields. This is because these oil fields are bound to be the objects of competition between European and American countries, and China is not allowed to get their hands on them at all.
If China forcibly intervenes, it will only cause a strong backlash from them, and when the time comes, the gains will outweigh the losses, and not only will they not be able to grab new oil fields, but it is also likely that the oil fields under the control of Judland's forces will also be divided.
"Wouldn't that be too cheap for Westerners? You know, with our principle of friendship and mutual benefit, it will be easier to win the support of the locals and forces than in their barbaric way, and if we fight directly, we can get many oil fields! ”
Lao Chen was a little unwilling, obviously, he had been following Zhao Hu for a long time, and he was also stained with Zhao Hu's similar gangsterism, always wanting to put all the visible benefits into his own bowl, even if it didn't work, he would destroy the West's wishful thinking. In general, in the past 20 years, Zhao Hu has been leading the Dragon Tooth Fund to fight with the West in this way, and he has made a lot of gains, but at the same time, his own losses are also very huge.
Zhao Qi did not deny that Zhao Hu's forge ahead brought an indomitable momentum to the rise of the Dragon Tooth and the East, and also made the Freemasons more and more afraid of the Dragon Tooth Fund. However, when the Dragon's Tooth Fund continued to grow and expand. At the point where you can fight against Freemasonry in a corner, it seems a bit simple and rude to use life-and-death tactics, and at the same time, it is also a kind of irresponsible performance.
Therefore, after Zhao Qi came to power, he launched a seemingly radical approach. But the extraordinarily cowering style of play has won the support of the major forces behind the dragon's teeth, which is not unreasonable.
First of all, Zhao Qi controlled the risk to a minimum, and at the same time consumed and restrained the Freemasons to the greatest extent, constantly making them fall into the quagmire of exhaustion, and in the end, the Dragon Tooth Fund sometimes fought with them, and sometimes talked with them and worked together. Closer the gap in strength between the two sides little by little.
"If we really want to snatch meat from their bowls, we can grab about half of the oil field resources of the whole of Libya, but the puff is not guilty! What will the West think when we, who have contributed the least to the war in Libya, have benefited the most? What will the local forces think? At that point, we'll be the target of public criticism! Zhao Qi explained to Lao Chen, "On the contrary. We will first cede these benefits to the West, and we will assume a posture of peace and friendship. Cooperate with local forces, invest in infrastructure and transportation, let them fully benefit, and gradually pull them into our interests. You should also see that the Libyan opposition is not monolithic internally, for the sake of profit. They're going to fall apart eventually. So, Gaddafi's ouster is not the end of chaos, on the contrary, it is just the beginning of great chaos! ”
Lao Chen was unwilling, but Zhao Qi said that his eyes lit up: "What do you mean." Do we buy people's hearts and minds first, and then wait for the chaos to begin, and then gradually eat away at the benefits gained by the West? ”
"Remember Iraq? Before the war, Europe and the United States had already carved up all resources and interests, and there was no share of China, but what happened in the end? Iraq is in a mess, and the West has no control over it, so it can only beg us to take over! The same goes for Libya. ”
"I see! The chaos in Iraq was something that no one expected, and the result was accidental. And Libya, are we trying to steer the situation in this direction? ”
"It's not about guidance, it's just adding fuel to the fire."
"How does it work?"
"It's easy! There are two aspects. First, we need to actively invest in local infrastructure construction, so that local people can fully benefit and trust and get close to us, and at the same time support the plundering and exploitation of local resources by the West, so that local people and forces will resent them. Second, we need to actively support those who are dissatisfied with the West and the existing authorities, so that they can grow stronger in the process of cooperating with us, and sometimes, it doesn't matter if we don't make money, as long as their pockets are bulging. I don't need to tell you what will happen if the rights and interests of a country are limited, but there are many people who want a piece of the pie? ”
"If Libya turns out to be a war-torn country, the West will not be able to intervene for long, and it will feel that the benefits at hand have become a hot potato. At that point, when we get it back? ”
Lao Chen finally got his senses, not that he was stupid, but that he had been following Zhao Hu for a long time, and he was more than brave, but he was completely unsuitable for Zhao Qi's cowering tactics. However, once he understood, Lao Chen also raised his hands in favor.
Zhao Qi never gives direct orders when doing things, but likes to unify the other party's consciousness and thoughts first, let the other party understand his intentions, and then let him do things. This method is very efficient, and it does not require Zhao Qi's attention at all times.
"So, now you know what to do, right? Let Jalil give me some peace, don't think of something unrealistic, what he has to do is to train the army well, and the elite troops I give him are not for the overthrow of Gaddafi, but for the future! And you, you have to be a good money boy and go to Libya to send more warmth! ”
Zhao Qi said with a smile.
After Lao Chen fully understood Zhao Qi's intentions, he hurriedly flew back to Libya, and at the same time, he also regretted his sudden run back and asked Zhao Qi to allow him to force the food in the West's mouth.
Although Zhao Qi didn't say it explicitly, he still pointed out the truth that Lao Chen was fooled by Jia Lile, which made Lao Chen a little embarrassed. Zhao Qi was right, most of Lao Chen's ambitions were fooled by Jalil, but now, he knew how to concoct Jalile. Jalil is now on the rise, and it seems that he is a little unable to manage the province of Ajdabiya and this army alone, and he needs an assistant, an assistant with his own sense of independence! In other words, it is to train a man to counterbalance Jalil.
……
After sending Lao Chen away, Zhao Qi also received several phone calls, all from the big family behind the Dragon Tooth Fund, obviously, they also knew about this plan to cut meat with a blunt knife, which was inconsistent with their urgent desire to open the North African market.
In this regard, Zhao Qi could only explain one by one, and he was relieved.
"We can't afford to lose! The West can't afford to lose either! So, we can't risk going head-to-head with the West, and the West doesn't dare to risk expelling us from Libya, we need a balance with them, and we can get their approval with appropriate concessions. In this way, we can calmly advance our rules of the game for mutual benefit! Only when the locals and forces are truly aware of the gap between East and West will they know what to choose! In the same way, we can only really extend our rules of the game to North Africa if the locals themselves choose and support us, and not enforce them with coups and wars, as in the West. ”
Zhao Qi said the above sentence to almost every family, and the other party obviously understood, but unfortunately it was still a little difficult to accept because of his greed for Libya's rich resources. At this time, Zhao Qi will use the authority of the helmsman of the Dragon Tooth Fund to directly suppress the opposition and force them to implement this strategy.
Zhao Qi does not have much prestige, but his proud record of not being defeated so far, as well as the overt or implicit support of the bigwigs of the official departments mainly from the Ministry of National Security and the Ministry of Economy and Trade, still make everyone choose to believe him.
As a result, after Lao Chen, more Chinese went to Libya, where the war has not yet been completely extinguished, to send warmth and build infrastructure, so that there is a kind of ridicule in the West, in their opinion, Chinese businessmen are stupid to send money everywhere.
Obviously, the ideas of the Oriental merchants are very different from those of the Jewish merchants, one is the compassion and kindness that have been cultivated by Confucian civilization for thousands of years, and the other is the mercenary and ruthless greed cultivated by displacement and deep discrimination.
It is precisely because of the gap between the two civilizations and ideas that Freemasonry and the Dragon's Tooth Fund have made two diametrically opposed choices in North Africa, a strategic place that no one can afford to lose.
Today, with the support of the West, opposition forces are working hard to wipe out the domestic resistance, while Freemasonic businessmen are flying around Libya in helicopter gunships and tanks to buy oil fields, refineries and ports. Chinese merchants, along with relief convoys, showed up in the towns that had been most scorched by the fighting, providing them with a relief point, repairing infrastructure, laying transportation arteries, and providing necessities of life.
In every part of Libya, the great reshuffle of resources is accompanied by all kinds of extreme gore and terror.
A former oil tycoon was shot in public in a city square for supporting Muammar el-Qaddafi's dictatorship and repression, and his oil fields were then auctioned off to a Western businessman. And no one cares how much charity this oil tycoon has done for the locals, and no one knows if there is evidence for his crimes.
Pro-Gaddafi tribal forces have been wiped out, their tribal assets have been confiscated as trophies by opposition forces, and the rest of the tribe has been left with nothing, no one cares whether they live or die, and no one cares how they survive in the future.
If a former government official turns into an anti-Gaddafi banner and dedicates appropriate resources and bargaining chips to the West, he can easily become a key member of the opposition government, enumerating Gaddafi's crimes while taking advantage of the war to gain benefits and power.
The whole of Libya seems to be staging a gluttonous feast, as if the king should be defeated as such. However, no one thought that those who were eaten to the point of being left with white bones, and those who were full of fat brains, they were not reconciled, and they were not satisfied. Victory was not accompanied by tranquility and peace, but with the bane of madness and upheaval. (To be continued.) )
