Selling oil across Libya

Chapter 67 No more than 4 sheep may be raised.

As the Numidian Brigade recaptured Benghazi, the situation in Syria continued to deteriorate, with UN officials warning that Syria could slide into a full-blown civil war.

Despite South Sudan's independence, a fierce conflict persists between South Sudan and Sudan, and is escalating towards an "international armed conflict."

As the US military withdraws from the Middle East, NATO continues to launch airstrikes in the region, causing civilian casualties.

In Somalia, Yemen, Mexico, and other places, fierce clashes continue between government forces and anti-government armed groups or organized crime groups.

According to incomplete statistics, as of May 2012, armed conflicts had broken out in 17 countries around the world.

It would be uncivilized for the Numidian Brigade to sell weapons to Mexican criminal groups.

However, selling the drones to the Mexican government for use in combating drug traffickers would definitely bring Qin Rui more "evolution points".

If this path proves feasible, military aid will be indispensable.

Sending troops directly is not out of the question.

The impressive performance of the drones has opened the door to collaborative research and development for Numidia Travel.

Ding Jian not only agreed to cooperate with Numidia Tourism in developing drones.

The Italian military has also shown great interest in the Numidian Brigade's drones.

Italy has a long history of interest in drones; as early as 2003, Italy had already begun research on unmanned combat aircraft.

In 2005, with funding from the Italian government, Alenia Aeronautics Limited successfully test-flew its Sky-X unmanned combat aerial vehicle.

Subsequently, Alenia Aerospace, along with Sky-X, joined the French-led Neuron drone project.

And then, that was it.

The "Neuron" has not yet completed its test flight.

Given the drones' outstanding performance in Benghazi, the Italian military hopes to purchase two drones for testing.

If the drones meet the requirements of the Italian military, the Italian military will consider purchasing them.

"Not for sale!"

Qin Rui acted decisively, avoiding unnecessary trouble.

The two drones won't make much money.

This will bring Numidian travel a lot of trouble and endless consequences.

"What about joint research and development?"

Yuri hopes to break the monopoly of European and American companies on high-performance engines through Italy.

"Loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty."

Now that Numidian Travel has already aligned itself with East Asia, it cannot afford to be half-hearted.

"Don't you always say, 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket'?"

Yuri's confidence in East Asia is not as strong as that of Qin Rui.

"Italy has already handed their basket to France."

Qin Rui is not optimistic about "neurons".

When Qin Rui traveled through time, there were rumors that "Neuron" might officially enter service around 2030.

Following European tradition, the "neuron" might just be another "Galileo".

Qin Rui did not put all his eggs in one basket with East Asia.

Qin Rui only sent a portion of the researchers to East Asia to participate in joint research and development.

The remaining personnel continued their research on drones at the Xishan Research Institute.

The introduction of drones hastened the demise of the provisional government.

On May 9, with the surrender of the last batch of mercenaries to the Numidian Brigade, Benghazi was officially recaptured.

"Have you caught Haftar?"

Qin Rui wanted to eliminate the rebels completely, leaving them no chance to rise again.

"no."

Yuri lamented that during the entire Benghazi campaign, more than 20 militants and civilians fled, and Haftar himself disappeared without a trace.

"What should be done with these mercenaries?"

Musa was unsure whether to execute all the mercenaries as agreed before the war.

"What mercenaries?"

Qin Rui wants to turn Libya into a no-go zone for mercenaries.

"clear!"

Musa understood perfectly.

After capturing Benghazi, the Numidian Brigade did not stop, but continued to advance along the coastal highway toward the Egyptian border.

The Transitional Government's Legislative Council immediately amended the Political Isolation Law drafted by the Provisional Government and incorporated it into the Transitional Government's judicial system.

The core of the Political Segregation Law is to prohibit Libyans who have served in the Colonel's government or who have been supported by foreign capital from holding positions in the government.

The transitional government has passed the Agency Registration Law, which severely restricts the connections between Libyans and foreign organizations and individuals.

The new Political Isolation Law allows Libyans who previously held positions in the old government to serve in the new government.

Apart from Libyans who are supported by foreign capital.

The new Political Isolation Law stipulates that any Libyan with overseas study experience, or any Libyan with immediate family members abroad, is prohibited from holding office in the new government.

Unsurprisingly, the new Political Isolation Law has not only met with strong opposition within Libya, but has also been strongly criticized by the international community, especially European countries, and by Magariaf, who is in exile in Britain.

On a program in Boboci, Magariaf criticized the Numidian Brigade as being more authoritarian and less democratic than the colonel.

"The people of Tripoli suffered brutal rule under the Numidian Brigade. They were not only forced to work, but also deprived of freedom in areas such as education and healthcare. Even their most basic survival was not guaranteed."

Magariaf's alarmist remarks received enthusiastic responses from the program's guests.

"Have you noticed something? The humanities departments at the University of Tripoli, including finance and law, have incredibly high admission scores. Almost no one can get in. They might as well just cancel them."

Former Transitional Council member Abdul was filled with righteous indignation.

"The Numidian Brigade has just introduced a regulation that each Libyan household can only raise a maximum of four sheep;

Moreover, these sheep cannot be grazed using traditional methods; they can only be fed with purchased feed.

Libyan writer Mohammed has revealed the latest crimes committed by the Numidian Brigade to his audience.

"Is the Numidian Brigade trying to starve all the Libyan farmers to death?"

"God, save your people!"

"NATO should launch a second military operation against the Numidian Brigade."

The guests on the show were discussing it animatedly.

"Let's contact Mr. Harvey Dawson, a senior advisor to President Jalil of the Tripoli transitional government, and see what he has to say?"

The host signaled to the director to connect the signal to the studio.

"The Libyan civil war is not over yet, and I would like to remind all European viewers to exercise caution when traveling to Libya;"

Regarding the Libyan transitional government, I can say a lot, but it is not based on President Jalil's decision;

These things are sometimes good, sometimes bad; time will tell.

Harvey Dawson was tactful and didn't fall into the host's trap.

Qin Rui didn't care about the attacks from the outside world.

The rule that only four sheep can be raised, and that grazing is prohibited and feed must be sold, is to protect Libya's extremely fragile environment.

If traditional grazing methods are resumed, Libya will be completely desertified in just a few years.

As for raising the admission standards for liberal arts majors.

Abdul was right about at least one thing.

If Qin Rui hadn't been concerned about international perception, he would have actually canceled these subjects outright.
