From Arms Dealer To King of War

  Chapter 485 The Messy Country

  The words of 'Spurs' made Choja suddenly feel a little weird. He touched Eric who had been silent all this time, and asked curiously, "Why are these people keeping an eye on the airport?"

  Eric let out a sigh of relief when the armored vehicle left the airport completely, and then said helplessly: "Because a white man in Europe and America is worth 200,000 dollars now.

   Those jihadist lunatics charged a high price for the gangsters in order to slit their throats and terrorize the world! "

   Qiaojia heard this, frowned and said: "Has the trouble become so serious? It used to be a bit cryptic, but now it's all blatantly buying and beheading people?

  Benghazi is the birthplace of the Arab Spring. Shouldn’t it be more democratic? How could it be so extreme? "

   Eric shook his head and said: "Poverty and separatism are the hotbeds of extremism. The National Military Government has always had insufficient control over Benghazi. Can you imagine that there are a bunch of warlords and gangsters in the National Army?

  They beat their own people even more fiercely. In Benghazi now, the city center is the most dangerous place, because those **** might shoot at the government building to vent their anger because the supplies are not in place. "

   While talking, Eric looked at Choga with a serious expression, hesitated and said: "Don't worry, no matter how bad the national military government is, they also know what is more important.

  At this stage, no one will harass foreign companies that resume work, because locals also need to work. "

Eric said it easily, but Choja saw the heaviness in his eyes. He frowned and asked, "It means that the national military government still has a little deterrent effect at this stage, but if someone wants to make Benghazi mess up?" Woolen cloth?"

  Eric said with a wry smile: "Then it's over!

  Your buddy can see at a glance that there are three groups of people staring at us. The group in the terminal building is people from the National Army, and the one in the hangar is a person called the 117th Revolutionary Brigade.

  They were originally the ground staff of the Libyan Air Force. Later, they announced that they had occupied an air force base near Benghazi, robbed a large amount of arms and became warlords.

  After the coup d'état, the leader of the 117th Revolutionary Brigade was recruited to join the National Army.

  But after so many years, the 117 Revolutionary Brigade didn't get much benefit, so it started to feel a little restless. "

  Joga listened and said vigilantly: "The MiG-23 parked at the airport belongs to the 117th Revolutionary Brigade?"

Eric knew what Choga was thinking, and he said with a smile: "The National Army invited the Russians over, and with the support of the French, they spent a lot of money repairing several fighter jets to fight against the Syrian National Army. Fight, but lose very quickly.

  At present, the fighter jets that can take off in Benghazi are all under the control of the National Army. This is the key to the dissatisfaction of the Revolutionary Brigade. They feel that they paid for the fighter jets, but got nothing.

  If it weren't for the French and Russians who have been supporting the National Army, the 117th Revolutionary Brigade should have gone to war with the government army. "

   As Eric looked at Choga with a strange expression, he suddenly smiled and said, "You are one of the few military company bosses I have ever met who can afford the air force. Are you interested in those fighter jets?"

   Qiaojia froze for a moment, shook his head and said with a broken smile, "Don't tell me that the 117th Revolutionary Brigade still sells fighter jets!"

  Eric nodded and said: "Of course, there are 8 jet fighters of various types.

  That idiot wants to sell what he has, but he doesn't understand it at all. Without strong support, no one can play with that thing. "

   Choga was really tempted for a moment just now, but Eric’s words later brought him back to reality. Although jet fighters are good, they are not P·B’s type.

  Thinking about the situation Eric briefly described just now, Choga shook his head and said with a smile: "What the **** is Libya? I always thought that the government forces recognized by the United Nations should control Benghazi."

  Eric shook his head and said: "According to CIA statistics, there are currently more than 1,700 armed forces in Libya.

  The government of national unity recognized by the United Nations has been shrinking around Tripoli. The Haftar National Army supported by Britain, France and Russia is to fight al-Qaeda.

   You won't believe it, Benghazi was still under the control of Al Qaeda 8 months ago.

  Now the National Army has initially taken over Benghazi and Fati in the northeast, and is trying to continue to advance east.

  I judge that the progress of the National Army will speed up, and then they will inevitably go to war with the sectarian armed forces of the national coalition government in Tripoli.

  This is a muddy pond right now, but our ambassador actually got himself involved. "

   Qiaojia frowned and said incredulously: "Is the National Unity Government so bad? Otherwise, why did the Chinese people talk to the National Army, and the American ambassador also came here?"

  Eric sneered and said: "The big powers don't nod, and the support of the United Nations is only lip service.

  The people of the Government of National Unity are now working in Tunisia, and even the office building is rented. The sectarian militias that actually control Tripoli are the soldiers of the chiefs.

  Hua people want to get back their past investment. Of course, they need to negotiate with the most powerful person who has the best chance to unify Libya. If they can get a gas field, they must have promised something to Haftar.

  Our ambassador wants to promote negotiations between the two factions to jointly deal with extremist forces in Libya, and by the way represent American oil companies to negotiate with Libyan oil companies. "

  Joga nodded slightly after listening. He is not very interested in the political situation, but now he has a preliminary understanding of the situation in Benghazi.

   It has been 8 months since the battle for Benghazi ended, but the National Army supported by Britain, Russia and France has obviously not defeated the terrorists. No one knows how many terrorists are hiding in Benghazi now.

  Although the National Army is not a state of disunity, it is a bit fragmented. The warlords of all walks of life will only respond to Haftar on major issues, and basically guard their own territory at other times.

  Thinking of this, Qiaojia had to admire Lao Chen's courage. He didn't know exactly how he operated it, but just because he dared to bring workers to plant the flag in Libya, it was amazing.

  At the same time, Choga was worried about Eric's situation. The situation in Benghazi was many times worse than he imagined.

  The French don't have to do too much. They just need to find someone to contact a force with some strength and give them some benefits so that they can create turmoil and attack the Americans at the same time.

   A worse approach is to provide opportunities for terrorists. The CIA cooperated with ISIS and Boko Haram at the beginning, and now the French use terrorists in turn, which is very reasonable!

  Thinking of Qiaojia's growing worry, he said to the 'Spurs' driving ahead: "Have you noticed anything unusual recently?"

  'Spurs' heard this, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "There is nothing normal here!

  We have been protecting CIA agents for the past two weeks, contacting the top management of the Benghazi Petroleum Company, and the ambassador's actions are also very frequent.

  I'm American, but I still think that guy is doing something stupid, because every time the agent gets close to the top of the oil company, someone will make trouble.

  We don't have authorization to attack, so we can only fight passively, and we don't even know the identity of the opponent.

  The only good thing now is that the other party is clearly targeting the top executives of the oil company. They haven't found the CIA's secret base yet, otherwise we should have called for support long ago. "

  Joga listened, rubbed his temples, looked at Eric and said: "The first target of those people must be the ambassador, and then you.

  The French are hedging their bets. It is impossible for them to watch the two governments sit down and negotiate under the auspices of the American ambassador.

  Holding Libya can keep the security of the Mediterranean Sea. Maintaining a state of two governments is in the best interest of Europe. It is impossible for them to hand over this political interest to the United States.

  What are you going to do? "

Eric glanced at the 'Spurs' and Kaman in front of him. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered: "I have placed observation points and cameras around the ambassador's residence. As long as I can take pictures of the attackers, I can ..."

  Eric didn’t say what he said later, but what he meant was very clear to Qiaojia, that is, he used the ambassador as a bait. As long as the identity of the attacker is confirmed, with the resources of the CIA, it is easy to liquidate afterwards.

The most important thing is that as long as things happen, he can leave the powder keg of Benghazi and return to China to report on his duties. With the evidence he has and fabricated and the resources of the CIA, he can use his power to support the big boss behind him to crack down on Harold and the forces behind him.

   Qiaojia shook his head and said, "Is your evacuation plan ready?"

  Eric nodded and said: "I arranged ships at the port of Benghazi, and the warlords who control it are my allies. These armored vehicles were bought from there."

  Choga was not very optimistic about Eric's plan, he hesitated and said: "You have to think of the second plan, the French want to get you, and they will not stop investigating you.

   LMV has such a big target running on the road, I don't believe you said that your base has not been discovered.

  Harlott is a bastard, but he is ruthless. Your CIA ex is his man, and you have evidence that your ex colluded with terrorists. He cannot watch you go back alive.

  You have to be careful! "

  Eric nodded and said: "I understand your kindness, but their first target must be the ambassador. My base is very strong, and I will definitely be able to persist until the U.S. drones come to support me.

   If it doesn’t work, I’ll run south. Your people in the gas field can take care of me, right? "

  Choga was annoyed by Eric, and he said, "You should have run away as soon as the ambassador was attacked..."

   Talking about it, Qiaojia looked at Eric's distressed look, he sighed, and said, "You are worried that you will be investigated if you run back too fast, right?"

  Seeing Eric's helpless expression, Choga said to the 'Spurs': "This guy is an official fan, you can't listen to him everything.

   It's not worth taking a risk for two million commissions, just knock him out if necessary, and keep him from dying. "

  Jorga’s words made ‘Spurs’ heave a sigh of relief. He glanced back at Eric who was silent, then gave the boss a thumbs up and said, “I understand, boss!”
