Chapter 320: Friendly War
Zhao Qi's argument, although slightly exaggerated, is fundamentally correct. The struggle between the East and the West is no longer a purely military or economic competition, as in the past, but a competition between different rules of the game. Whoever has the rules accepted by the world will lead the world.
Of course, for small countries and underdeveloped regions, acceptance and acceptance are two different concepts, and although the results are similar, the psychological feelings are completely different. They are willing to take the initiative to accept, but more often than not, they have to abandon what they like, and are forced to accept what others impose, not that they themselves are not strong enough and not autonomous, but that the one they prefer is not strong enough for them to rely on.
Therefore, for Europe and the United States, it is necessary to maintain a strong oppressive power and dominance and let the world accept them. For China, it is necessary to continuously improve its strength, avoid the fading of strength caused by wars and economic crises, gradually encroach on the existing rules of the game, and establish a new way of playing.
Su Bei may not know much about these doorways, but she trusts Zhao Qi, so she doesn't argue about doubting anything, and she believes what Zhao Qi says.
Actually, what she didn't know was that although Zhao Qi was smart, he didn't know so many advanced strategies, and in the final analysis, he himself was still an angry young man. For him, the most important thing he wants to do is to immediately bring down US imperialism. He oppressed his nature, and in this operation to Libya, he did not do whatever he wanted, of course, only in terms of his perverse character, this time was enough to settle down. This is because before he came, he had already met and talked with Zhao Hu and Xu Lao, the former leader of the National Security Bureau.
Needless to say, although Zhao Hu has a tough attitude, he actually studied it carefully. You will know that he is actually a very, very restrained person. Otherwise. He couldn't have avenved his dead sons by now. He seemed reckless. But he has always warned Zhao Qi not to be impulsive, to be far-sighted, in short, China, which is now in a period of rising strength, has no need to clash head-on with the West.
And Xu Lao is not only the uncle of the National Security Bureau and some official high-level officials, he is also the uncle of Xu Longxiang, the major shareholder of Longya, so he is public and private. He is a staunch supporter of the Dragon's Tooth Fund. His advice to Zhao Qi was more restrained than Zhao Hu's, and he did not even support Zhao Qi arming the Libyans, which he believed would provoke the West.
In Zhao Qi's view, the two most common methods used by Westerners to provoke and provoke can also be used by me, and only when they see the threat will they realize the power of China. Doing so will not only contain China's oppression in Asia, but also help China have a say in affairs such as North Africa and the Middle East. Of course. They can also ignore China, like that. They must see warlords like Judran as enemies, and with Muammar el-Qaddafi still in power and the national front already in power, the West will no longer dare to weaken the opposition. Therefore, even if they knew that China was meddling in Libyan affairs, they could only co-opt, not suppress, them.
Although Xu Lao felt that Zhao Qi only saw what he saw in front of him but did not see it, he also believed that China's strength was increasing day by day, and he did not oppose Zhao Qi's opinions too much, and provided Zhao Qi with some help within his ability. Otherwise, with Zhao Qi and a group of businessmen from the Dragon Tooth Fund, it would be difficult to get domestically produced weapons, let alone secretly send mercenaries into Libya.
In the process of discussing with the two old men, Zhao Qi also understood that he must not be as willful as leading Dragon Claw Technology to expand its territory in this matter.
So, this time, he behaved very restrained.
In exchange for this, it is the strong support of China Capital behind the Dragon Tooth Fund, as well as some implicit promises and assistance from the Chinese government.
In the next two days, Zhao Qi began to contact all parties within Judlan, that is, to help Judlan buy people's hearts, but also to win connections for himself, and to clamp Judlan in disguise.
In addition, he also met with some representatives of the Libyan opposition forces who had come to visit after hearing the news, and it was clear that the purpose of these people was simple, and they also wanted to taste the sweetness when they learned that Judran had received many benefits from the Chinese people. Zhao Qi deliberately tried to win over these people, but he didn't make any promises immediately, this is not to estimate Judran's feelings, but based on caution, after all, these people are different from Judlan, they are all people who are stepping on the big boat in the West, don't accidentally make a wedding dress for the enemy.
On May 4, Western countries met collectively to discuss funding the Libyan opposition.
And just half an hour after this resolution was issued, Zhao Qi received a call from an old enemy, who was Ackerman, the liaison of Freemasonry in Asia.
Ackerman, who is also in Libya, proposed a meeting in Benghazi to discuss the Libyan investment climate and market rules, in other words, to set the rules.
Zhao Qi agreed, and the time was set for May 7.
War, Zhao Qi is not professional, but this does not prevent him from intervening in the war with a strange layout, after all, most of the parties in this war are also unprofessional.
Gaddafi and Europe and the United States are still semi-professional, but the rebel warlords of all stripes, who are the main force of the opposition, do not have any professional qualifications, many of them are halfway monks, and many of them are terrorist elements infiltrated in the Middle East. Especially the latter, they are regarded as a thorn in the side of Europe and the United States in the Middle East, but they can get all kinds of assistance from Europe and the United States here, which can be regarded as a strange flower. You can say that Europe and the United States are blind, or you can say that they are cocooning themselves, but they do so only on the basis of their own interests.
And Zhao Qi's intervention in the Libyan war is also based on the interests of the Zhao family, Longya and China.
Just as Zhao Qi directly intervened on behalf of China, Freemasonry was also a representative of Europe and the United States. So, at the national level, it is the competition between East and West, while in the world of capital, it is a duel between dragon teeth and Freemasonry.
What the? Some people think that Europe and the United States are professional in terms of war?
In fact, this is a misunderstanding, a big misunderstanding!
It should be made clear that it is not the military power that means that he is very professional, after all, although the soldiers who go to the battlefield, those politicians and capitalists who are pointing fingers behind the scenes are not professional at all. But sadly, how can these most elite soldiers, who have to fight according to their orders, be professional?
Take a huge sugar-fried chestnut - the Iraq War.
Long before the invasion of Iraq by the US-EU coalition, everyone thought it was a battle to be won, and the US-European politicians and capitalists had already begun to divide up Iraq's oil resources at the United Nations before the army entered. Through bargaining, they finally divided the Iraqi oil industry at a price of $600 billion and divided it up to hundreds of consortia of large and small countries for development.
At that time, the Chinese representative to the United Nations was strongly opposed, saying that this was aggression and that other countries should not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. At that time, this kind of rhetoric was ridiculed and disdained by heroes from all walks of life, and in the eyes of Europe and the United States, it was a symbol of China's weakness and ignorance.
In the end, Europe and the United States succeeded in taking down Iraq! Hang Saddam!
And then the egg!
In post-war Iraq, even two American GIs died in three days, and a team ascended to heaven en masse in five days, and Leng Buding was assassinated and kidnapped a few senior soldiers. Six hundred billion dollars became a huge joke.
Eventually, the end of the story is Sauce Purple Drops. China has become the largest developer of most of Iraq's oil fields and the largest provider of infrastructure reconstruction in Iraq. Therefore, to this day, Europe and the United States always complain that Europe and the United States have fought desperately to defeat Iraq, and the Chinese farts who have taken free rides have gone to pump oil and made a lot of money.
This is the extremely unprofessional attitude of Europe and the United States towards war, and it is important to know that war is not only for the purpose of victory, but also a tool to serve national interests. Obviously, in the Iraq war, they did not win enough benefits for their own country, but instead fattened China, which was in dire need of oil, their potential enemy and challenger.
For this kind of stupid behavior, it is difficult to call it professional, in this regard, Zhao Qi just wants to say: Well done!
It can be said that most of the major opportunities for China's development have been created by Europe and the United States themselves.
Ironically, this has also been the main reason why the doves within China have been reluctant to meet with the West. They believe that with the IQ of Europe and the United States, they will basically say goodbye to bicycles! Maintain proper peace and cooperation with them, and they will continue to send one big gift after another, and you will be embarrassed if you don't accept it, so there is no need to fight them to the death. They believe that China should maintain a unique kind of war with Europe and the United States -- a friendly war -- in all fields.
The so-called friendly war does not mean that the war itself is friendly, but that it refers to the competition under the premise of maintaining a certain friendly relationship, and then slowly waiting for the other party's pig teammates to send their heads.
Of course, this statement is somewhat suspicious of insulting European and American IQs, but on a certain level, it still makes sense, at least, Zhao Qi is speechless.
Of course, the reason why the situation in Libya is so bad is inseparable from Gaddafi, but behind it is also the stirring up of Europe and the United States.
Since February 16 this year, large-scale anti-government riots and bloody clashes have broken out in Libya, and the rebels have established an "interim government" in Benghazi in the east. It is mainly composed of the old royal family, opposition tribal aristocrats, wealthy businessmen, anti-government conglomerates, outgoing government officials, dissatisfaction with Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, and a small number of al-Qaeda members.
During the outbreak of the conflict, the two sides also carried out some kind of peace talks, but the results naturally did not satisfy both sides.
On April 30, Qaddafi said it was okay to ask for oil, but not to step down. And make a strong statement: we insist on believing in the revolution and will not give in to the opposition and Western colonialists. As soon as these words came out, Western countries immediately announced that they would impose sanctions on Libya again.
On May 1, the day Zhao Qi flew to Benghazi, Qaddafi's seventh son, Saif Arabia, and his three grandsons were killed in an air raid, and Gaddafi was by his side. The United States and France attempted to assassinate Gaddafi, and the opposition in Benghazi has celebrated the victory.
On 2 May, the day bin Laden was beheaded, the British and Italian embassies in Libya were set on fire, and the situation in the Libyan capital deteriorated again.
On May 3, French President Nicolas Sarkozy summoned a small number of renegade officials in the occupied areas of Libya to put pressure on Gaddafi.
On May 4, Western countries met to discuss and form a resolution: to fund the Libyan opposition.
From this point on, the war between the Western-backed opposition forces and the Libyan army officially began. Zhao Qi's choice of this time to come to Benghazi is also very ingenious, which can be regarded as the coexistence of crisis and opportunity. (To be continued.) )
