Chapter 3500: To Kill or Not to Kill
Hiring "Wolf Fang". m
"Haha, 'Wolf Fang' is a mercenary team. In theory, as long as the employer can pay, they will serve the employer. But in fact, there is also a problem. That is, if the employer asks 'Wolf Fang' to do something that is harmful to the world, they will not do it. For example, killing civilians, helping them to cover drug transportation, etc., 'Wolf Fang' will never do it. There is no problem with the rest." Lin Feng explained.
"Haha, Mr. Lin, don't worry, I just let 'Wolf Fang' protect my safety and help me train the army. The rest will be done by my people." Gaddafi laughed.
Lin Feng nodded. In this way, it couldn't be better. In fact, the stronger Libya's military strength is, the more difficult it will be for the United States to deal with Libya in the future. Just like the Vietnam War, which lasted for so many years, the United States finally chose to withdraw its troops. If a country resists for a longer time, the greater the resistance, the United States will not be able to win quickly, and will eventually choose to withdraw its troops.
After all, no matter how much oil and natural gas Libya has, it is not the only choice for the United States. As long as Gaddafi does not threaten the US's domestic security and international status, the US will not have to fight him to the death and bring him down.
Afterwards, the two sides discussed in detail the comprehensive economic cooperation between Lin Feng and Libya. This time, Gaddafi's eldest son Mohammed and fourth son Hannibal attended the meeting together, and the two sides reached a preliminary agreement on railway construction and telecommunications network laying. The agreement stipulates that Lin Feng and Libya will jointly invest in the construction of the Libyan National Railway, and each party will hold 50% of the shares. In terms of management, Libya will not intervene in the commercial railway, but once there is a military demand, Libya will have the dominant power.
And the subsequent telecommunications network laying. The two parties also jointly invested, each holding 50%. Among them, Lin Feng personally has a veto power over resolutions. At the same time, Lin Feng also obtained Libya's exclusive operating rights except for oil exports to Europe and the United States. All of this oil will be sold by Lin Feng's company.
Finally, on the same day, Lin Feng and Gaddafi's eldest son Mohammed jointly held a press conference to announce the news of the cooperation between the two sides. When this news came out, the impact on the world was extremely significant.
Originally. Gaddafi cast a life-size statue made of pure gold for Lin Feng in the port of Tripoli. In the eyes of the world media, Gaddafi was showing goodwill to Lin Feng. Although Libya is a major oil and natural gas country, it is restricted by economic sanctions and its domestic economic situation is not good. The people seem to be rich, but only relative to poor and backward Africa. In fact, compared with the West Asian countries that are also rich in oil, it is far behind.
This year, with the Iraq War, the relationship between the United States and Libya has recovered, and Libya has development opportunities. But not many countries dare to invest in Libya. After all, Gaddafi's power has always been a grudge for the United States. Once the muddy Iraq is over, Gaddafi is still so strong. If you go against the United States everywhere, then the United States will inevitably take action against Libya.
This is the consensus of the world.
At this time, Gaddafi showed goodwill to Lin Feng, but Lin Feng might not be willing to invest in Libya. This statue worth 250 million US dollars. I am afraid that it will eventually become a tourist attraction. Of course, Gaddafi will not lose money on this investment, because of Lin Feng's popularity, this life-size pure gold statue. It is so lifelike that there will definitely be super-rich people collecting it. Its value will never shrink by a single cent, and it may even rise.
Just when the outside world was joking that Gaddafi's show of goodwill this time would become the most successful business investment in his life, it was revealed that Lin Feng and Gaddafi's eldest son Mohammed had a comprehensive cooperation, which was beyond the expectations of all reporters.
"Mr. Lin, are you really determined to make a large-scale investment in Libya?" a Greek reporter asked.
"Haha, if I don't invest, what am I doing here? Acting!" Lin Feng laughed.
"Mr. Lin, aren't you afraid that your investment in Libya will eventually come to nothing?" the Spanish reporter asked.
"Haha, I believe that Libya is an African country on the road to democracy. African countries are very poor and backward, and African people also yearn for a happier and better life. I am willing to contribute my efforts to help African people live a happier and better life." Lin Feng said with a smile.
"But Mr. Lin, don't you know that Libya was once designated as a country supporting terrorism? Aren't you afraid of being implicated and becoming a businessman supporting terrorism?" the French reporter asked.
"Regarding terrorism, I want to reiterate that no matter what reasons or beliefs you have to support you in carrying out terrorist activities, it is wrong. It is an anti-human and anti-social behavior. Any person or country that supports terrorism must be spurned by the whole world. None of us has any right to hurt another person. Each of us is unique. As for Libya's support for terrorism, I also talked to Mohammed, and he assured me that Libya is definitely not a country that supports terrorism. Libya just hopes that its people can live a better life and become the first country in Africa to achieve a well-off life. And according to the information I received, Mohammed's brother Saif has visited the United States to explain the development of Libya over the years and the wishes of the Libyan people. I believe that the inference that Libya supports terrorism will eventually be untenable!" Lin Feng explained.
Many reporters were amazed. Is Gaddafi finally going to bow his head this time? Gaddafi has always been an extremely powerful figure, and his conflict with the United States is actually a matter of interests. The United States hopes that Libya will continue to provide the United States with cheap and beautiful oil as always, and will allow the United States to station troops in Libya to ensure its military deterrence and international influence in the Mediterranean. It's just that Gaddafi can accept providing the United States with high-quality and cheap oil, but he cannot allow the United States to station troops in Libya.
Will Libya allow the United States to station troops in Libya? If that happens, the situation in Africa and Europe will change again. This will be a change that will affect the world structure.
Libya's military position is extremely delicate. If the United States stationed troops in Libya again, the entire Mediterranean would be threatened by the U.S. Navy, which would completely curb the entire European interests in the Mediterranean. At the same time, countries in West Asia and other countries transport oil and natural gas resources through the Mediterranean. It will also be restrained by the United States.
Is strongman Gaddafi finally giving in? Amid many reporters' speculations, Gaddafi's second son, Seif, who was identified as the core figure who will succeed Gaddafi's regime in the future, set off for the United States to visit U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. The second female Secretary of State in U.S. history. Of course, he is also a strong Secretary of State, who has always advocated the use of military means to resolve foreign diplomatic disputes, and is a well-known hawk.
This is the meeting between Saif and Condoleezza Rice. What changes will it bring? All of Europe is watching.
At this time, Lin Feng quietly flew to Somalia. Of course, Lin Feng's special plane was still at the International Airport in Tripoli. Lin Feng took an ordinary flight to Somalia, where he met Major General Dahir. Of course, he is currently the interim federal chairman of the Republic of Dahir, temporarily in charge of all military and political power in the Republic of Somalia.
"Ha, Mr. Lin, welcome, welcome!" Major General Dashiell warmly hugged Lin Feng to the young man in front of him. Major General Dahir knew very well that from an ordinary pirate major (self-proclaimed), he could become a general and rule two-fifths of Somalia's territory today. This is all due to Lin Feng.
It was Lin Feng who gave him the money and people to help him build the country, allowing him to occupy a high position, and maybe even become the first big shot to truly unify Somalia. Dahir was extremely respectful to Lin Feng.
"Major General Dahir, congratulations on your current achievements. I believe that the unification of Somalia will be just around the corner!" Lin Feng laughed.
"It is only thanks to Mr. Lin Feng's help that I am where I am today. Thank you very much, Mr. Lin!" Although Major General Dahir holds a high position, he is not confused. Although these years of pirate career have left him with no knowledge or skills, in addition to being able to fight fiercely, he has also learned how to survive. The most important thing about being a pirate is not to be able to rob, but to learn to survive. If you don't know how to survive, you will have died in the sea long ago. Therefore, he knew what kind of attitude he should have when facing Lin Feng, otherwise, death would be waiting for him. If Lin Feng can help someone stand up, he can naturally help others to sit in this position.
Somalia's small military strength, if it were not for the unification of Somalia too quickly, may be suspected by the international community and attract the attention of the United States. The 'Wolf Fang' would have already helped Dahir unify the entire Somalia and establish a sole government. country. Unlike now, it is still torn apart.
"Major General Dahir, this is the material delivery list for this batch. I will do my best to help Somalia rebuild and let the Somali people live a happy life." Lin Feng handed Major General Dahir a list with detailed information on it. Listed is the food and various materials that will arrive in the Somali waters next month.
"Thank you. On behalf of the Somali people, I would like to thank Mr. Lin for his generous donation!" Dahir bowed deeply.
Lin Feng smiled and returned the greeting respectfully, not too casually. Although I can help another Dashiel come out, it will be a lot of trouble. Therefore, giving Dashiel more face on various occasions is undoubtedly the only way to make both parties get along happily.
Later, after accepting the hospitality of Major General Dahir, Lin Feng met Wang Meng at the United Front Work Department of the Republic of Somalia.
"Brother Meng, you are much darker." Lin Feng joked when he saw the obviously dark Wang Meng.
"The sun here is too poisonous, so I can't wear sunscreen to fight. Besides, if you get a little tan, you'll be better concealed. Otherwise, we yellow people here will almost become white people." Wang Meng didn't care about being dark all over. , Men, it is healthier to be darker.
"By the way, how is the situation now?" Lin Feng asked.
"There are still six rebel tribes, but eliminating them is not a problem. The problem now is not how to eliminate them, but how to eliminate them, and what happens after they are eliminated." Wang Meng said in a deep voice.
Lin Feng listened carefully and did not interrupt.
“I have carefully studied the recent series of wars in the world, especially the series of wars launched by the United States, and found one thing in common, that is, the U.S. government will always find excuses for sending troops, and then interfere in other countries’ internal affairs in the name of justice. Then we will support a puppet regime. Therefore, if we help Dahir unify Somalia, we cannot give the US government such an excuse. Even if he is dissatisfied, he will have no excuse to send troops, and there will be no one to support. "Wang Meng said.
Lin Feng nodded.
"So, what to do with these six tribes is a problem. If they stay, there will be endless troubles. The Western society can support them at any time to fight against the Dashir regime. If they are all eliminated, it will be a massacre. Once the news leaks out, we will all face sanctions from the entire international community." Wang Meng looked embarrassed. He hesitated for a long time on this issue.
If these people are not killed, these tribes will revive. Once foreign forces intervene, it will inevitably threaten Dashir's regime, and Lin Feng's investment here will be in vain. But if they are all killed, putting aside the psychological barriers during the massacre, once the news leaks out and is known to the outside world, I am afraid that these people will be infamous. Every country in the world will protect these people.
Therefore, Wang Meng has not taken any action against these six tribes. Otherwise, relying on the six tribes and the so-called 8,000 coalition forces, the "Wolf Fang" would have been defeated by them long ago.
It is called the 8,000 coalition forces, but in fact there is no regular standard formation, and the equipment is not complete. Although many soldiers have guns, they have no bullets, and they are seriously lacking in training. Many people don't even know how to shoot correctly. There is no need for too many troops like this. Just give Wang Meng a company with complete equipment. He can defeat them in a few surprise attacks and then annihilate them in the pursuit.
But should he kill them or not? Wang Meng couldn't make this decision.
Lin Feng tapped the table with his fingers, calculating the risks and pros and cons. Killing is very risky and there are many psychological obstacles. Either don't kill them, or if you want to kill them, you must wipe out all the six tribes without leaving any trouble. Otherwise, if you don't get rid of the roots, there will be endless troubles. Maybe you can't kill them all? There are 8,000 soldiers in the six tribes, plus their huge family members, there are probably nearly 30,000 people. Such a large group of people, slaughtered, Lin Feng is not a cold-blooded executioner, this order can't be issued.
These are more than 30,000 lives, not 30,000 numbers. But if they are not killed, they will make trouble, especially if they are used by Western countries, which is also a trouble.
What to do?
