From arms dealer to king of war

Choga and others built a temporary camp outside Benghazi because Haftar did not dare to let P.B.'s people enter the city.

He was not afraid that Boss Qiao would harm him, but he was worried that P.B.'s exaggerated motorcade would impact the image of the National Army.

In fact, the strength of the National Army is not bad. They have the support of Britain, France and Russia, and they also receive indirect support from China's drones through the United Arab Emirates.

Although the urban security war is still fragmented, in terms of hard power on paper, the terrorists and the Libyan Government of National Accord are absolutely defeated.

It's a pity that when it comes to war, you can't look at paper data. There are many warlords in the National Army, and corruption can no longer be said to be 'serious'. It is a common practice...

Haftar is still in the stage of internal integration. Before defeating all enemies, he needs to capture all the warlords he can capture, and then use the continuous support from major powers to expand his territory as much as possible to increase his income.

Only after Libya is reunited will it be time for him to purge the country and redistribute power.

It's a pity that this guy's ideas are contrary to the French. The French hope that Libya will always maintain an unstable political structure, so it is impossible to let the National Army hammer the National Unity Government to death. Otherwise, what if Gaddafi comes out again?

Although the National Army seems to have controlled most of Libya, the warlord factions within them are more complex than outside.

It’s just that at this stage, Haftar has embraced the Russians and has the support of Britain and France, so the warlords have naturally moved closer to share the profits.

But expecting warlords to save the country is simply asking for fish in a tree. All those guys who dare to take to the streets by recruiting dozens of people and buying dozens of guns only want money.

When the arms aid that Haftar worked so hard to get is distributed, the first thing those people think about is how to sell it at a good price.

Of course, Haftar himself is not a good bird, but he controls his greed very well.

The 50 million yuan worth of livelihood supplies promised by Choga in the first year have arrived in Benghazi.

Originally, these things were used by him to maintain the situation in Benghazi, but this man secretly withheld some of them and resold them, and the money went to the Swiss bank that Boss Qiao helped transfer.

Boss Qiao bought low-priced crude oil for US$50 a barrel, and as soon as the huge amount of cash entered the overseas account of the National Army, most of it was divided up, and the rest was the funds to maintain the operation of the National Army.

The current situation of the National Army is that those with some power are striving to earn more profits so that they can buy houses and real estate in Europe and the United States, so as to escape the quagmire of Libya when needed.

The elite troops of the National Army are really okay, and the overall number and configuration of the army are okay on paper, but the soldiers at the bottom have trouble eating, and the weapons are even harder to see.

From the perspective of soldiers at the bottom, the Government of National Accord supported by the United Nations, that is, the Libyan Emirates Union, does indeed do better than the National Army.

Compared with the legendary corrupt bosses in Afika, Haftar is somewhat respectable. His demand for money is reasonable and he is also ambitious.

However, if his most elite army has the same number of people, it will be incomparable to P·B.

Now that P.B.'s convoy is here, letting them enter the city will make Haftar feel embarrassed.

So the big boss simply took the initiative to go out of the city and had a meeting with Qiao Jia at P·B's camp.

Qiao Jia is actually very dissatisfied with the performance of the National Army...

P.B. finally captured Tobruk, but the National Army made slow progress in the cities of Beida and Tolmsai. In fact, Al Qaeda gained a foothold in northeastern Libya and will continue to threaten it. Safety in Tobruk.

Now that the American, British, and French teams have withdrawn from Tobruk, Al Qaeda felt that it could give it a try, so it promised to make P·B look good, which directly led to the instability in Tobruk.

This is the most annoying situation for a private owner like Joga, because it is impossible for him to go to Beida and Tulmese to repeat what he did in Tobruk. People can't bear it, but money can't bear it.

You must know that since Nice took charge, the bombs dropped on the heads of terrorists alone have exceeded US$200 million based on market value, and subsequent security maintenance, including current recruitment, continues to cost Boss Qiao money.

If it weren't for the fact that Qiao Jia made the cluster bombs himself, the Hellfire was sponsored by the United States, the Blue Sword 7 was bought after breaking a bone, and so many T1s came to help for free, even if Bill Gates saw the expenditure report, he would still have to pay attention to it. He slapped his forehead and shouted "I'm afraid", then turned around and left.

Boss Qiao doesn't want much, and not all he spends is his own money, but a little less unnecessary expenditure is a net profit for him.

Haftar also knows that he is in the wrong because PB has done what they promised.

Tobruk and Baierdi are currently flying the flag of the National Army. Although there is not a single member of the National Army inside, the dignity is in place.

Boss Qiao promised to restore order to the two cities within three years, and now he has basically accomplished it in less than three months.

The current sporadic attacks are mainly due to the inability of the National Army to control the area west of Tobruk, which gives al-Qaida room to penetrate.

Although Boss Qiao took away the oil export and refinery, he actually fulfilled his promise and purchased inland crude oil at a price of 50 US dollars a barrel. Most of the price difference earned from selling it was replaced by supplies to fill in. In the hungry city.

Now, when Tobruk and Bardi are prospering, the employer, the National Army, is holding them back.

Therefore, after Haftar came to the P.B temporary camp in a low-key manner, he behaved very accommodatingly.

When Haftar sat down in a tent with Choga, there were only two buddies with glasses around Haftar...

This was the first official meeting for Qiaojia with Haftar. Looking at the fierce-looking old man in front of him, he smiled and said: "Sir, it's a pleasure to meet you. I think we should talk about Beida and Thule. Maisai’s matter.”

As he spoke, Qiaojia saw Haftar's energy shaken. He waved his hands decisively and said, "Let me state in advance that I have no interest in those two cities, and I don't have the manpower or energy to continue taking on the business.

I'm just wondering if the National Army can spend more energy?

You should know the importance of Tobruk. Let me go all out to restore the economic situation of Tobruk, which will be beneficial to the entire national army.

In the past, you couldn't sell crude oil even if you guarded the oil fields. Now that I have opened up the export of crude oil trade for you, why have you slowed down?

Sir, you should know that I have not made any profit in Tobruk..."

After hearing this, Haftar looked at each other and the two people around him. After a long silence, he said: "Jackal, I didn't expect you to progress so fast...

You should know that the area actually controlled by the National Army is the central and northeastern parts of Libya. Our territory is too large, so our forces have to be spread out.

I know the importance of economic development, so I don't want to fight at all, but our conflict with the Government of National Unity is irreconcilable.

The situation in Beida and Tulemese is very complicated, and I prefer to maintain stability for a period of time through negotiations. "

Qiaojia understood as soon as he heard that Haftar was in trouble...

The specific reason is not difficult to guess. It should be that the National Unity Government's request for help from Turkey was responded to.

Haftar probably wants to stabilize the terrorists first and then deal with this wave of offensives by the Government of National Accord.

Haftar's control over the warlord alliance is really not very good. His direct troops are indeed very capable, but their numbers are limited, and they must rely on warlords to achieve control of the territory.

With his main force transferred away, he could no longer drive the warlords of Beida and Tulemese to exert their utmost efforts.

If someone told Qiao Jia that those warlords were related to Al Qaeda, he would not be surprised at all!

This situation is very fucked up for Boss Qiao. All the old Americans around him have been dragged down physically and mentally in Iraq and Afghanistan. How can P.B. have any qualifications to enjoy the treatment of old Americans? He spent all his money It’s not American taxpayer money!

Two terrorist bridgeheads were erected on the west side of Tobruk, blocking the key coastal highway, which also hindered Boss Qiao's transportation and sales of supplies. Who can stand this for a long time?

Faced with this situation, Qiao Jia said helplessly: "Then there's nothing you can do..."

Haftar read Choga's impatience. He looked at a man with glasses next to him and then said with a smile: "Jackal, you are a capable and reputable person, so I think we can Deepen cooperation.

I know that the situation in Beida and Tulemsai has affected the development of Tobruk. I received a note from P.B. I know that you supported the local people there to form an interim management government.

This is what I think. In the name of the national army, I can provide the Tobruk government with law enforcement powers. You will have the right to arrest and try terrorists and criminals who cause harm.

However, I request that this law enforcement team be nominally under the jurisdiction of the National Army. Once P·B withdraws from Libya, they must be included in the sequence of the National Military Government..."

As he spoke, Haftar saw a strange expression on Joga's face. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Jackal, this is the best solution, because war cannot solve the core problem. Sooner or later we have to leave." This step.

The National Army does not have this capability for the time being, but I think P·B has the ability to support a combat-effective law enforcement team.

As compensation, I can lower the price of crude oil purchased in Tobruk from US$50 to US$45. "

Choga looked at Haftar in amazement and said: "You want me to help you establish a law enforcement system to protect northeastern Libya at a price of 5 yuan per barrel of oil?

According to you, if the police come to the city to enforce the law, does that not count as a war?

But I kind of don't understand, how can you convince those warlords and terrorists to agree with the law? "

As he spoke, Qiaojia patted his forehead and suddenly understood Haftar's plan...
