Chapter 105 A Powerful Alliance
During Operation Odyssey Dawn, drugs were rampant in Libya. Both government forces and the opposition engaged in the frenzied practice of using drugs to stimulate troops and enhance their combat effectiveness.
The new Libyan government has a very firm stance on monopolistic drugs. In addition to all kinds of prohibited items explicitly banned by Libyan law, all hallucinogenic drugs are classified as monopolistic drugs in Libya.
The Libyan government imposes equally strict requirements on foreigners entering Libya, and any violations will be severely punished under Libyan law.
Libya's tough stance on separatism has drawn public opposition from some Libyans.
Some artists claim that hallucinogenic drugs are very helpful to their creative work, and that taking one when they are stuck in a creative block is extremely effective.
Legislative Council member and Benghazi-based director Zayed even publicly appealed in newspapers, arguing that the Libyan government should gradually tighten its control over smuggled goods, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, based on consideration for the victims of the war.
Zayed's appeal seems to make sense.
However, this crossed the line for the new Libyan government.
The new Libyan government has not ignored the victims of the war.
To help victims of drug addiction during the war, Libya has established a national treatment center to help them break free from their dependence on drugs.
The Libyan government will resolutely crack down on those stubborn individuals who refuse treatment and attempt to obtain drugs through illegal means; the law will show no mercy.
In Libya, if you accidentally use drugs without your knowledge, you should immediately report it to the Libyan police, expose the criminals, and seek help from the Libyan government.
If one indulges in the pleasure derived from illicit activities and colludes with criminals, they will be dealt with seriously in accordance with Libyan law.
As for Zayed, who made a public appeal in the newspapers.
Immediately after Zayed's remarks were published, the Legislative Council removed him from the Legislative Council and stripped him of all his public posts.
The Libyan Directors' Association also immediately expelled Zayed and published an open letter signed by all its members in the Libyan Daily, completely severing ties with him.
Libya's judicial authorities responded quickly and launched a full investigation into Zayed.
This investigation had a significant impact. As more of Zayed's crimes were exposed, Libyan society launched a comprehensive crackdown on Zayed and his associates.
Zayed graduated from the University of Tripoli and later received Libyan state funding to study in the UK and the US.
Zayed's two sons and three daughters are all married. Except for his eldest daughter, who is still in Libya, his other two sons and two daughters are working and living in Europe and the United States.
Zayed's wife died early in his life. During the interim government's rule, Zayed married four wives, the youngest of whom was only 13 years old.
Zayed's only work is a state-funded documentary co-produced with the United States; he has made no other achievements.
Many people can't help but wonder, how did someone like this become a famous director?
Most seriously, Zayed maintains frequent contact with European and American non-governmental organizations in his daily life.
Libyan police even discovered that Zayed's only work received state funding only after being funded by European and American non-governmental organizations.
Faced with public criticism, Zayed was filled with fear and fled overnight. He was captured by Libyan police before he could board a ship at the port of Benghazi.
When the news broke, domestic and international media focused on different aspects.
Libyan media seized the opportunity to launch a propaganda campaign targeting Zayed and spies. At this point, whether Zayed was a spy or not was no longer important; if public opinion demanded that he be, then he was.
Foreign media, led by Boboci, focused on the Libyan government's tolerance of illegal immigration.
The swift action of the Libyan police demonstrates that the Libyan government and police are fully capable of controlling illegal border crossings.
Since illegal immigration persists despite repeated crackdowns, the Libyan government must be held accountable.
Magariaf returned to Bobot and criticized the Libyan government's inaction on the program, interpreting the government's indifference as a malicious attempt to send refugees to Europe and shift blame for its own problems onto European countries.
Bobo probably didn't expect that Magariaf's malicious interpretation would actually create a reverse propaganda effect for the Libyan government.
What is freedom?
The official Libyan interpretation is that the Libyan government respects the personal choices of Libyans.
When a Libyan is unable to travel to where he wants to live through normal channels, it is not the responsibility of the Libyan government, but the responsibility of the destination government.
If a Libyan wants to go to France.
If Hollande truly respects everyone equally, he should grant this Libyan's request and allow him to go to France to live the life he desires.
It was because of Hollande's discrimination that this Libyan had to resort to smuggling, risking his life, to reach the holy land he envisioned.
Hollande: Can't you be a decent human being?!
The Libyan government isn't doing nothing either.
The Libyan government recently issued a regulation requiring all Libyan vessels, as well as foreign vessels arriving in Libyan territorial waters, to be equipped with a sufficient number of life rings, or face penalties from the Libyan government.
After the regulations were introduced, lifebuoys in Libya were sold out.
Qin Rui is not involved in legislation.
Guinea is too weak to provide sufficient assistance to Libya.
Qin Rui has contacted the Hand of Justice, hoping to upgrade Libya's diplomatic relations with East Asia from a Level 5 comprehensive strategic partnership to a military alliance.
East Asia only signed a joint defense treaty with North Korea that did not include offensive actions.
In terms of diplomatic relations in East Asia, Libya is on par with Zimbabwe, Tanzania, and Ethiopia.
Guinea is also in this category.
Qin Rui not only hopes to establish a joint defense mechanism with East Asia, but also hopes to establish a comprehensive military alliance with East Asia.
Hand of Justice: Tiger, we will not start a war, nor will we fear it.
Numidian translator: Come on, you're always talking about war with this person and war with that person. Don't you need allies? Don't forget you haven't unified yet.
Hand of Justice: Forgive my bluntness, but given your current self-destructive behavior, the probability of you breaking out into war with your neighboring countries is far greater than ours—oh, I almost forgot, your war with Chad is not over yet.
Numidian translator: You wait!
Hand of Justice: I advise you not to be impulsive. If you keep messing around like this, you won't even be able to keep the fifth gear.
Numidian translator: If you can't even hold onto the fifth gear, don't expect to get a drop of oil from Libya or a single mineral from Guinea.
Hand of Justice: [Shrugs] [Shrugs] [Shrugs]
Qin Rui turned off his phone in anger, nearly going crazy.
The strategic resolve shown by East Asia is truly despicable.
Qin Rui really wanted to find a few East Asians and send some calcium tablets to the East Asian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Find a few more online influencers and create a concept like "Big Four Corners" or "Li Tie".
Thinking about it, I'd better not. East Asia is petty and holds grudges. Any misconduct against East Asia will be recorded in their blacklist, so it's not worth it.
In his previous life, Qin Rui also frequently engaged in online political commentary.
Qin Rui only now realized the power of the East Asian energy strategy.
Although Libyan oil is of good quality, it does not account for a high proportion of East Asia's oil imports, and East Asia can easily find alternative countries.
Although the Simandou iron ore mine has a high grade, its reserves only account for 5% of the world's total. Qin Rui doesn't want to make money from it, but there are plenty of other people who do.
The question is, if Libya and Guinea don't sell their oil and iron ore to East Asia, who else can they sell it to?
Souma hopes to keep the profits from mineral resources in Guinea as much as possible and plans to build a factory in Conakry, the capital of Guinea, to process the raw ore.
The Libyan government is also prepared to invest heavily in upgrading equipment at chemical plants to improve crude oil refining capabilities.
For a country, keeping more profits domestically is a basic practice.
In Africa, however, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
The electoral system dictates that democratic countries cannot have a long-term vision; the Libyan constitution stipulates that the president's term is only five years.
If Saddam Hussein's decision were made in a democratic country, it would most likely become the achievement of the next president, all his hard work ultimately benefiting others.
The United States, with its elite dictatorship disguised as democracy, is like a fine china shop; if a bull were to barge in, the result would only be utter chaos.
Qin Rui wanted to improve diplomatic relations between Libya and East Asia, but this couldn't be achieved by simply asking for favors. He could only attract East Asia's attention by highlighting the value of the united front strategy.
The chart circulating on East Asian networks can only represent the true state of diplomatic relations to a limited extent.
Allies betraying each other is a common occurrence in history.
Even if Libya establishes a comprehensive military alliance with East Asia, the actual implementation will depend on the circumstances.
The expedition of 37 men to Greenland perfectly illustrates the essence of modern international relations.
What Qin Rui didn't know was that East Asia's overall assessment of Libya was rapidly improving as Libya's performance improved.
Following the Battle of Benghazi, East Asia strengthened its joint research and development efforts with Libya in drones and precision-guided bombs.
Libya has never demonstrated its scientific research capabilities before, and its domestic industrial base is weak.
The Libyan government under Colonel 16, relying on the wealth brought by oil, forcibly built up its so-called defense modernization, but it only had conventional weapons; high-tech weapons were something that even money couldn't buy.
When Libyan researchers traveled to East Asia, they brought with them a drone and several precision-guided bombs, and made the control codes for the drone and precision-guided bombs available to the joint research and development team.
In return, East Asia shared some of its drone stealth technology with the Libyan team.
This sharing was remarkable; both sides were amazed by each other's technical capabilities.
The level of Libya's drones and precision-guided bombs was evident in the Battle of Benghazi.
In January of last year, East Asia’s first stealth fifth-generation fighter jet successfully completed its maiden flight, making China the second country in the world to independently develop a fifth-generation fighter jet.
A powerful alliance.
