Selling oil across Libya

Chapter 22 The Pledge of Allegiance

Although Jalil and Magariaf have the support of the international community, they have no foothold in Libya.

The assassination of Younis fully demonstrates just how chaotic the situation in Libya is.

The colonel was trapped, with nowhere to escape.

Once the colonel is beheaded and executed, Operation Odyssey Dawn will end, and the Allied forces will withdraw.

Libya will descend into even greater chaos, entering a true period of warring states.

"The Numidian Brigade is our brother, and we welcome everyone to join us in creating Libya's future."

Magariaf immediately addressed the nation on television, welcoming the Numidian Brigade's participation.

Although Jalil's support was more direct, Qin Rui did not want it.

With Jalil's help, several international charitable organizations expressed their willingness to return to Tripoli and distribute aid to the people of Tripoli.

Qin Rui refused to allow any international organizations to return to Tripoli, citing the city's severe epidemic.

You can leave if you want.

No way you can come back.

Qin Rui knew all too well what kind of people these so-called "charitable organizations" were.

Undeniably, there are indeed some philanthropists who are truly compassionate and hope to use their own strength to help others.

Most charitable organizations are actually fronts for charitable purposes, using the guise of charity to carry out infiltration and subversion.

After charitable organizations withdrew from Tripoli, a large number of Tripoli residents fled, and even the most steadfast Red Fort was almost completely deserted.

The residents of Red Fort are mainly artisans, and their income depends primarily on tourists.

Since the outbreak of the Libyan civil war, many countries have designated Libya as an extremely dangerous red zone, advising their citizens against traveling to Libya.

With incomes cut off and prices soaring, almost all residents of Red Fort fled within a very short period of time.

While launching an offensive against Misrata, the Numidian Brigade is working to restore order in Tripoli.

Months of fierce fighting left a large number of corpses in Tripoli, which had completely decomposed and became a source of disease and plague.

Many buildings in Tripoli have suffered structural damage and are now considered unsafe and beyond repair.

Musa ordered his men to collect the bodies and bury them together.

They also destroyed severely damaged buildings to prevent further losses.

This task was undertaken by the workers brought by Ding Jian.

Compared with traditional power plants, new energy power plants built using solar panels not only do not produce pollution, but also have a very short construction period and are highly efficient and fast.

Ding Jian also accepts all business offers without hesitation, believing that the more the better.

"Are we really going to push it?"

Ding Jian found it hard to believe.

"Make sure your men put on their gas masks. There are still many corpses here that haven't been collected yet; they're completely decomposed."

Don't let your workers get sick, otherwise it will be difficult for them to receive timely and effective treatment.

Despite having a Libyan face, Rashid had no attachment to the Red Fortress.

Qin Rui originally intended to conduct an international tender to re-plan the new Tripoli.

Looking back, it wasn't necessary. The bigger the commotion, the greater the impact. To avoid controversy as much as possible, we should enter the village quietly and avoid firing shots.

So Qin Rui redeemed Rashid from the system.

Rashid is a designer.

Rashid was very efficient; he produced new Tripoli plans in just one night.

The fighting between government forces and rebels took place in the city of Tripoli.

The port area and the international airport, located about 25 kilometers away from the port area, were not severely damaged.

Rashid established the city's central axis with the port area and international airport, and construction began along the central axis.

The first challenge encountered during construction was the Red Fort.

Red Fort not only has rugged and narrow streets and low, messy buildings, but also lacks proper water supply, drainage, and fire protection systems, making it like a huge sore between the port area and the city.

The Red Fort was originally built by the Phoenicians as a defensive fortification of Tripoli and was completely unsuitable for habitation.

For Qin Rui, the Red Fort serves no purpose other than satisfying tourists' curiosity.

Qin Rui doesn't need tourists either.

During the time of Colonel Libya, tourism revenue accounted for less than one percent of Libya's gross national income.

Driven by this meager income, a large number of so-called tourists have flocked to Libya, leaving the country's vital infrastructure and military deployments riddled with holes and utterly devoid of secrecy.

"push!"

With Ding Jian's order, the reconstruction work in Tripoli officially began.

Qin Rui handed over the reconstruction work in Tripoli to Rashid.

His attention was focused on the oil field.

There are two oil pipelines leading to Zawiya, one to the Sharara oil field and the other to the Alwafa oil field on the Libyan border.

The Libyan National Oil Corporation and the Algerian National Oil Corporation have been jointly developing the Alwafa oil field through technical cooperation.

Qin Rui's troops only learned after arriving at the Alwafa oil field that it had been in production throughout the Libyan civil war.

Not only are oil fields in Algeria continuing to produce oil.

Oil fields in Libya are also continuing production.

However, the oil produced was not transported to Zawiya via pipeline.

Instead, it was sold to Total.

Qin Rui was also surprised that the oil thieves in Libya were so rampant.

But this is also a good thing.

Since the oil field has been producing continuously, Numidia Brigade will have a steady and continuous source of revenue simply by sending people to take over the oil field.

As for Total.

Qin Rui did not attribute the responsibility for the attack on the port of Zavier by the French National Gendarmerie to Total.

Total doesn't have that much horsepower.

"Tiger, we need to restore our relationship with Total."

Yuri reminded Qin Rui that there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends, only eternal interests.

Why?

Qin Rui dislikes Total.

"We need to use Total to ease tensions with Paris."

Yuri chose the safest approach.

Although the Numidian Brigade has stated its willingness to return to the petrodollar system and join the siege of Sirte.

But for the coalition forces, this was not enough.

If the Numidian Brigade wants to gain NATO's trust, it needs to be closely aligned with NATO in terms of interests.

"There's no rush. We can make a decision after the provisional government reaches an agreement with Britain and France."

Qin Rui kept a close eye on Benghazi.

British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy have accepted the invitation from interim government President Alexei Magariaf to visit Benghazi, the location of the interim government, later this month.

During their visit to Benghazi, Cameron and Sarkozy will hold talks with Magariaf on economic cooperation.

Qin Rui was curious because Washington had not yet commented on Cameron and Sarkozy's visit to Benghazi.

This is so un-American.
