Chapter 115 The Messenger of God
In 2012, Libya's GDP per capita reached 13.04 dinars, equivalent to approximately US$2.6.
Looking solely at GDP per capita, Libya has already returned to the ranks of developed countries.
However, if we look at total economic output, Libya ranks only around 50th globally.
Iraq's GDP is $2180 billion, almost twice that of Libya.
The figure of 13.04 is the number released by the Libyan government.
The figure released by the United Nations Statistics Division is 2120 billion, which is similar to that of Iraq.
The reason for such a large difference is the different statistical methods.
The Libyan government calculates GDP in a similar way to East Asia, with oil contributing over 90%, while other factors such as natural gas, aquatic products, and steel are almost negligible.
Measured by its economic size and land area, Libya can barely be considered a middle-class country.
By population size, Libya is only a small country.
Since it is a small country, it should recognize its own position and do what it does best.
Even if Libya produces its own parts, it still needs to purchase the raw materials needed to produce those parts from abroad.
Libya will not be qualified to talk about independence and autonomy unless it develops a complete industrial chain like East Asia.
While the parts produced in East Asia may not be the best, they are certainly the cheapest, and their overall performance is not bad. Most importantly, they are produced in large quantities and are plentiful.
Libya’s biggest advantage is automation.
With its industrial scale in East Asia, Libya can build a modern defense system simply by giving full play to its own advantages.
Qin Rui accepted reality and fully embraced East Asia.
The Hand of Justice was surprised to find that the spare parts Qin Rui had purchased from East Asia far exceeded Libya's actual needs.
Qin Rui frankly stated that Libya is preparing to export drones and precision-guided bombs to friendly countries.
Libya's international environment is much better than that of East Asia.
Let's leave Guinea aside.
The Arab League's "brother" countries alone could feed Libya's military industry.
A number of wealthy Middle Eastern countries spend hundreds of billions of dollars annually, ostensibly to purchase weapons and equipment as protection money.
Libya will not become the Arab League's "number one scapegoat".
However, Libya can provide assistance to the best of its ability if its "brotherly" countries have needs.
For example, Iraq.
Iraq's economic growth rate reached 13.94% last year, a very impressive figure.
Iraq has not only failed to enjoy the benefits of economic growth, but has also been pushed to the brink of civil war due to factional conflicts.
Last September, the Iraqi Central Criminal Court sentenced Vice President Hashimi and his wife Ahmed Qatan to death by hanging for the murder of a lawyer and a security forces brigadier general.
Both men are in Türkiye and did not appear in court for trial.
Even before the Central Criminal Court sentenced Hashimi to death, a series of shootings in Baghdad, the Iraqi capital, had killed dozens of people.
Following the death sentence handed down by the Central Criminal Court to Hashimi, Baghdad suffered a series of terrorist attacks that killed more than 100 people and further exacerbated the divisions between the two cities.
Currently in Iraq, the conflict between Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds is becoming increasingly acute, and all sides are actively preparing for war, with civil war imminent.
At a recent Arab League summit, the Iraqi government expressed its hope for Arab League assistance to prevent a large-scale civil war from breaking out in the country.
The Arab League is meeting to discuss how to ease the situation in Iraq, and one of the proposed solutions is to request the United Nations to send peacekeeping forces into Iraq to prevent the conflict from escalating further.
This possibility is almost nonexistent.
With the last batch of US troops withdrawing in December 2011, all US troops have now left Iraq.
Although the U.S. military withdrew from Iraq, it left behind a large number of military contractors to protect the interests of European and American companies in Iraq.
In 2007, Iraq passed the Oil and Gas Law.
According to the bill, US-led European and American oil companies will be granted 30-year oil extraction rights in Iraq.
During this period, Occidental Petroleum will receive 60% to 70% of Iraq's oil revenue until it recoups its costs.
After recovering its costs, Occidental Petroleum can continue to receive 20% of Iraq's oil revenue.
This explains why, despite Iraq's impressive economic figures last year, the lives of the Iraqi people have become increasingly difficult.
Even the US military cannot bring peace to Iraq.
The deployment of UN peacekeeping forces to Iraq was also in vain.
The real purpose of the Arab League's proposal is to create an opportunity for the Arab League to establish a military mechanism.
The Arab League is a non-military organization that aims to strengthen exchanges and cooperation among its member states in areas such as economy, finance, culture, and health, and does not involve military matters.
In recent years, as the international situation has become increasingly severe, the Arab League has attempted to strengthen military cooperation among its member states, which has been met with strong opposition from the United States and other relevant countries.
If the Arab League forms a joint force, Libya will definitely be the main force.
Qin Rui is not against forming a joint force, but the key question is whether he can get permission from the United States.
Information from Saudi Arabia suggests that the Saudi side is very confident in establishing a joint force.
Saudi Arabia is not only actively promoting the establishment of a joint force within the Arab League.
At the Arab League summit, the urgent desire to purchase drones and precision-guided bombs was reiterated.
A host of other countries, including Persia, Turkey, Egypt, and Guinea, are also interested in Libyan drones and precision-guided bombs.
Persia is out of the question, and Libya is too dangerous to mess with.
Türkiye has a criminal record and a history of misconduct; no matter how high the price, we won't sell.
As Libya's neighbor, it is still very necessary for Egypt to maintain good relations.
Speaking of neighboring countries, Algeria, another neighboring country of Libya, finally agreed at the end of last year to extradite the colonel's wife and son back to Libya for trial.
The colonel is now a thing of the past, and this news has been reduced to a single sentence in major media outlets, barely mentioned.
The Libyan government has reached an agreement on this matter: regardless of whether the assets taken abroad by the colonel's wife and children can be recovered, the Libyan government will not make things too difficult for the colonel's family.
It is said that the colonel's wife and children have been in Algeria for the past two years. Even though they brought money with them when they went there, it is estimated that they have been drained dry by now.
Otherwise, Algeria would never have extradited the colonel's family back to Libya.
According to an agreement between the Algerian and Libyan governments, Algeria will extradite the colonel's wife and children back to Libya this April.
The Libyan government has pledged not to sentence the colonel's family to death.
Spare parts ordered from East Asia have not yet arrived in Libya. According to a report by Boboci, the Malinke people of Guinea are being jointly annihilated by the Guinean government forces, the Fulani and Sussou peoples.
Libyan forces were also involved.
It is true that the Malinke people are being massacred.
Not only did Libyan forces not participate.
The Guinean government forces also did not participate.
After the outbreak of the Guinean Civil War, the Fulani people, who make up the largest population in Guinea, became the target of attacks from other groups.
The army of the "Fula Independence Organization" is capable of protecting itself and its safety is not a concern.
The Fulani tribes have been attacked by other tribes, and according to Boboci, this has resulted in 100,000 deaths.
According to Souma and Camara, the Guinean government forces should wait until the opposition is exhausted, ideally to the point of mutual destruction and death, before they can clean up the mess.
Qin Rui called Suma, demanding that the government forces be deployed immediately to end the civil war in Guinea as quickly as possible.
In Qin Rui's view, the leader of the Guinean opposition and the pro-Western lackeys in Guinea deserve to die.
Most Guineans are innocent, especially women and children, who should not be victims of power struggles.
"The chaos in Guinea is of its own making; none of them are innocent."
Yuri has been getting increasingly irritable lately.
Some people in Libya are still very dissatisfied with the Libyan government's policies and demand that the Libyan government distribute oil profits equally to every Libyan.
The key point is that even if Yuri did this, they wouldn't be grateful to Yuri, but rather to their god.
In their eyes, Yuri was merely a messenger sent by God.
"Yuri, don't let your emotions affect your work."
Qin Rui wasn't being overly compassionate; rather, the system wouldn't allow him to stand idly by.
