From arms dealer to king of war

Qiao Jia is very interested in this official Zheng Chu. He is Chinese, has an extra-legal background, has been in gangs, and is particularly good at fighting. He is a natural mercenary material.

It would actually be good if P·B could have a few more Chinese people...

Lao Niu has said several times that he wants to find some retired cooks to come over, but so far there has been no response. After asking, he found out that the life of those retired cooks will not be too bad.

A cook of the same level as Lao Niu can make a fortune by contracting canteens for public institutions in his hometown, or selling lunch boxes if he has connections, so he doesn't have to mess around in Afika.

Qiao Jia, another retired soldier, has never met a suitable one...

But I just want to think about it for the time being, Zheng Chuli has a career to do.

Qiao Jia did not waste much time in solving the chaos in Sangha Town, but meeting several compatriots who had wandered into the world reminded him of Uncle Qing, whom he had not contacted for a long time.

Earlier, when Qiao Jia was just starting out, he asked Lao Zhu to subcontract part of the Kenyan military base project to Uncle Qing. He didn't say it was his own business, just because he was afraid that Uncle Qing, who loved to worry, would think too much.

Later, he was too busy and forgot about it. I wonder how Uncle Qing is doing now?

Qiao Jia couldn't help it when he thought about this. He took out his phone and hesitated to call Uncle Qing, wanting to ask about his current situation.

Now he is considered prosperous, and Sangha Town has stabilized.

Boss Qiao can't provide anything else. There are too many infrastructure projects in Sangha Town.

Not to mention other things, the 'Giant Infrastructure Company' chaired by Lao Zhu has 60% of the shares of Boss Qiao. It is too easy to get some security business for Uncle Qing.

After the call was connected, Qiao Jia instantly heard the familiar accent...

"Xiaojia, why did you remember to call uncle?"

When Qiao Jia heard that the other end of the phone seemed lively, he smiled and said, "I miss you, Uncle Qing. How are you doing lately? How are you at home?"

Uncle Qing on the other end of the phone heard this and said loudly: "What a fart, my stupid son and his wife arranged a B\u0026B. He didn't earn a penny for more than half a year, but he put hundreds of thousands into it." .

If I hadn't beaten him to death for the sake of my eldest grandson, your Aunt Qing and I would never have spent so much money in our entire lives!

If it weren't for him, I should have retired half a year ago. Why would I have come to Libya to take over a job? "

Qiao Jia was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "In business, it is normal to make losses and profits. If you lose this time, you will gain experience next time."

Qiao Jia suddenly thought of something and asked, "Uncle Qing, what did you say just now?"

Uncle Qing smiled ‘hehe’ and said: “Libya!

Remember Lao Chen?

His fat girl is still thinking about you. I saw her last month, but now she has lost weight and looks better! "

How could Qiao Jia forget that fat girl whose electrical appliances always broke down?

But at this moment, he didn't have time to cough with Uncle Qing. He frowned and said, "Why did you go to Libya? Didn't you go back when the Kenya project was over?"

After hearing this, Uncle Qing said helplessly: "Brother Yuan owes a lot of debt when he works in a B\u0026B. I filled his hole, and I don't have much money left.

Now their family has a lot of expenses. I don't think I will have to suffer for a few more years, so I can let Brother Yuan bear less of the burden.

So I found Lao Chen, who is now an executive of an oil and gas group. There happened to be an energy project to pay off debts here in Libya, so I followed him.

Don't tell me, Lao Chen is just nostalgic for old friendships, there is much more money to be made here than in North SD. "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia sighed and said: "If you want to make money, you don't have to go to Libya, there is a war there..."

Uncle Qing became bolder now, and he said: "It's okay, that card has been dead for 6 years, and now only in Benghazi can you still hear gunshots occasionally.

The area near our project is relatively safe, and there are security guards standing guard, so I won’t go wandering around anyway.

There are Italians near our well, and these people often come to our place to eat and drink. I think they are doing well, so they should be fine.

A big leader like Lao Chen is also in Benghazi, so there can't be any problems. "

Qiao Jia sighed after hearing this and didn't know what to say...

The Libyan civil war has not yet completely ended. The international community has recognized the opposition in power at that time, but those people are just useless.

France and Italy, which is closest to Libya, were the first to come over and take a big bite after the opposition came to power.

But soon the remaining forces in Libya formed a government, and the north and the south began to bicker and fight.

NATO has killed Cardano, and the United States will no longer care about the problems here.

France, which had the final say, did not want to resolve the conflict. It just wanted Libya to calm down quickly and steadily supplied stones to ensure Europa's oil supply. So it sent arms to both sides to appease both sides. In the end, neither side was pleased, but Italy, which kept silent, got it. The most benefits.

Qiao Jia can understand Uncle Qing's so-called 'debt energy projects'. China has invested more than 20 billion US dollars in Libya in about 11 years, most of which are infrastructure projects and water conservancy projects.

They are said to be contracted projects, but given the dominance of China's large enterprises, those projects are all done with advance funds.

When the war started a few years ago, all these investments were in vain. Now that the situation is a little more stable, it is natural to come over and demand payment.

The Libyan opposition is in a precarious situation, and they probably don’t dare to push back.

The energy project that Uncle Qing and the others are working on is probably the product of this situation.

According to Choga's standards, it is not too dangerous to say how dangerous Libya is now, but that is for him, a mercenary boss, and it is still dangerous for company workers, especially when chaos is about to break out in Benghazi. when.

Aaron has confirmed that the French are going to kill Eric and the American ambassador.

Of course they cannot use force blatantly, so the best way is to find someone to stir up trouble and cause war, and then fish in troubled waters.

Qiao Jia didn't know if his guess was right, but there would be chaos in Libya, especially near Banxi, for some time to come.

Listening to the coworkers' cheers on the other end of the phone, Qiao Jia hesitated and said, "Uncle Qing, listen to me and take people out quickly. It's not stable there...

If you can't find a way, I'll arrange a plane to pick you up. There are plenty of places for you to work. "

Uncle Qing was silent for a while and said: "No, Xiaojia, the project will be completed in a little while. If we withdraw before it is delivered, don't say that I can't get the money, and Lao Chen is also in trouble."

People want to give me a hand, but I can't cheat them. Besides, I am a brother who supports his family with his wages! "

Uncle Qing said a little uncertainly: "Is it really that dangerous?"

After hearing this, Qiao Jia pouted and said, "I'm not sure either.

Where are you? How much security force is there? I don’t know any of this, so it’s hard to talk nonsense.

But I am basically certain that Benghazi will be in chaos for a while. How about you talk to Lao Chen and cross the sea to Italy for a while.

Why don't you come directly to my place? My place is relatively poor, but there is a lot of work, and the money is easy to pay.

I don't understand, why are you going to Libya to mess with the oil fields right now? "

Uncle Qing said: "It's not an oil field, it's a gas field, natural gas. We don't want to develop it, we just bring about twenty brothers to harden the ground, and then build a few buildings and plant flags.

It is said that Lao Chen will form a partnership with Italians in the future and sell his anger to their family...

Our construction period will be completed in 2 months at most. It won't be that long, right? "

Qiao Jia didn’t understand the operations of such a giant company, but that ‘Old Chen’ was definitely a powerful figure. He came to Libya to claim a gas field, that’s really awesome!

Natural gas is definitely a commodity in short supply. It is appropriate to not exploit it for the time being and to raise a flag.

Thinking that it was indeed impossible for him to want people to evacuate without any evidence, Qiao Jia said helplessly: "Uncle Qing, please send me the location. Please don't go out in the near future.

How many security guards do you have there and who are they? What equipment do you have? Is it reliable?

I have a team of people in Benghazi. If there is a problem, I will ask them to support you. "

Uncle Qing was stunned for a while by Qiao Jia's series of questions, and then said, "Wait a minute." After a while, a rich male voice rang on the phone...

"Xiao Qiao, I haven't seen you for more than a year. How are you doing recently?"

Qiao Jia knew who the other party was as soon as he heard it. When he was in SD, he often went to other people's houses to mix fruits...

"Uncle Chen, I'm okay. I've been working on some small projects in Central Africa recently."

After hearing this, Lao Chen said with a smile: "That project of yours is not a small one. If you hadn't been in the news recently, I wouldn't have known that you were the Jackal that my old friend at China Construction Engineering Corporation was talking about.

Thank you for your special call to remind me that my place is 80 kilometers away from Benghazi, so it should be fine. "

As he spoke, Lao Chen suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile: "How about it? Isn't it a lot of pressure to have a Qatar princess for your family?"

Qiao Jia knew as soon as he heard that Lao Chen didn't know the whole story and was just making assumptions based on what the media said.

Qiao Jia doesn't mind his identity being exposed now, and P·B is not shameful.

And when he made up his mind to face the media, it was doomed.

Qiao Jia smiled and refused to answer Lao Chen's words. He said seriously: "Uncle Chen, Uncle Qing has watched me grow up, and I have to remind him of some things.

Since you know what I do, I'll be direct...

Banjiasi is not safe, so don’t go there these days.

Is your security okay? If you are unreliable, I can also take some business here. "

Old Chen Biqing understood the weight of Qiao Jia's words. After pondering for a moment, he said: "The security guards at the construction site are Libyan government forces, 20 of them. Do you think they are unreliable?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jia said decisively: "They can't be trusted!

Do you have any extra budget? If you give me a daily salary of 500 US dollars, I will send you 20 serious security guards. If something happens, they will come! "

When Lao Chen heard this, he thought about it for a while and said, "Normally, I can't make the decision on this matter. The cost of US$600,000 for two months must be too high, but I feel a little unsure when you say it is so serious.

Xiao Qiao, how do you think this money should be paid to you? "

Qiao Jia understands Lao Chen's difficulties. Large Chinese companies generally enjoy the protection of local government troops outside, so their security budgets are not large.

Regardless of the fact that a gas field is worth hundreds of millions, but for Lao Chen to get $600,000 out of it, he still needs to go through other channels, otherwise the day lily will be cold waiting for the approvals from one level to the next.

Thinking that he had caused so many problems with just one phone call, in order to reassure himself, Qiao Jia thought for a while and said: "Uncle Chen, don't you have friends in China-Africa Construction Corporation!

They also have projects in Bangui, let them give some projects to the "giant infrastructure company", and we will settle the account! "

When Lao Chen heard this, he said in disbelief: "Is Giant Infrastructure your company?

No wonder Zhu Shaoshan is so domineering in Central Africa, and everyone in the Presidential Office has to give him some credit..."
