Selling oil across Libya

Chapter 8 Numidia

Libya's oil reserves are not only shallow and large, but also of high quality, being light and low-sulfur oil. This type of oil has low refining costs and is highly favored by Europe, which has strict environmental regulations, and East Asia, where demand is huge.

The port area has its own generators, so power supply will not be a problem in the short term.

After seeing Musa and Yuri off, Qin Rui turned on his computer, logged into the Libya forum on Baidu, registered an account called "Numidian Little Translator," and posted a thread.

The content of the post is:

He was in Libya, but he didn't get on the plane and was taken hostage by armed men who controlled the port of Zawiya.

They're forcing me to sell oil online at gunpoint, what should I do?

Waiting online, very anxious.

It has to be said that netizens are really idle.

Qin Rui posted the message around 8 PM, which was 2 AM East Asian time.

Within two minutes of the post being published, netizens had already replied.

Endless War: Do you need me to fly a plane to rescue you?

Paper mill installation and renovation: V50 will help you call it in.

Colorful Sky: Attention all those planning to return home from Libya!

Qin Rui thought for a moment, then had Bai Ban bring in two soldiers, dressed them up, posed for a photo, and uploaded it.

All three men wore AN/PVS-14 night vision goggles on their helmets, black T-shirts over body armor, and carried a dagger on the left side of their chest, a P226 pistol on the right, and two rows of grenades on either side.

The whiteboard stands in the middle, with a fully equipped M4 slung under his arm via a tactical single-point sling.

The two soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, each held a fully equipped M4 in their arms.

All three were wearing Oakley tactical glasses and camouflage face shields.

Baidu Tieba user XXX: Bro, you're pretty professional at playing Kaosiplay!

The river flows eastward: Looking to transfer! Name your price, bro.

Zhan Wuzhijing uploaded a photo of a toy airplane with the caption: "Brother, wait for me, I'll be there soon!"

Qin Rui did not reply and fell into a deep sleep on the sofa.

Qin Rui has only slept for two hours in the past two days; he is simply too exhausted.

At 6 a.m. sharp, Qin Rui woke up feeling refreshed.

Despite having the system, Qin Rui still spent half an hour meticulously completing all the training.

When it was time to take a shower, Qin Rui was in a dilemma.

Qin Rui had no clothes to change into.

The villa is very large, with a garage, living room, kitchen, and storage room on the first floor, and three bedrooms and a study on the second floor. Each bedroom is equipped with a walk-in closet and a bathroom.

The walls of the first bedroom were covered with pink wallpaper.

Qin Rui exited the app the moment he saw the wallpaper.

There couldn't possibly be any clothes he could wear in this room.

The walls of the second room were covered with posters of Captain America, Taylor Swift, and Kobe Bryant. Qin Rui opened the wardrobe and, sure enough, there were T-shirts and jeans inside.

As he left the room, Qin Rui glanced at the poster on the wall again, lost in thought.

Although the war only broke out at the beginning of this year, the conflict between the colonel and the United States has a long history.

As a national leader, the colonel allowed American culture to spread so rampantly in Libya, and he deserves to end up like this.

Mia only showed her hot pants to Qin Rui. When she went out in the morning, she changed into jeans and a long-sleeved shirt, covering herself up completely.

After bringing back the second carload of people from Mia yesterday, the [Evolution Value] reached 2200 points.

Now it has fallen back below two thousand.

Including Qin Rui, each person needs to consume 255 [Evolution Points] every day.

If he stops now, Qin Rui can live for another 8 days.

As soon as I arrived at the office, Yuri brought me a fax, which had been received last night on the fax machine in the general manager's office.

The only sentence on it is: Whoever you are, leave Zawiya now, or destruction awaits you!

The fake ID holder traced the address back to the other party, who turned out to be Total, a French oil company.

Qin Rui smiled, casually wrote a sentence, and asked Yuri to send it back to the other party.

Whoever you are, apologize to me now, or destruction awaits you!

"Tiger, this isn't rational."

Yuri does not recommend replying like that.

"What we need now is not reason, but a change of clothes."

Qin Rui was not worried about Total's retaliation.

Although Total is a French oil giant and a major player in the industry.

For Qin Rui, Total is just a roadside road.

Qin Rui called over the fake ID holder and asked him to check the list of Total executives.

"Tiger, this will make things spiral out of control."

Yuri was deeply worried.

"Send faxes to them one by one. From now on, if Zawiya is attacked, he and his family will be the targets of retaliation."

Qin Rui was two-faced and refused to engage in any pretense with these hypocrites.

You can't only think of the rules when you and your family are threatened.

Come on, hurt each other.

Instead of waiting passively, Qin Rui called Musa over to continue the meeting.

Libya's oil fields are mainly divided into two parts: most of them are concentrated in the Sirte Basin, where the colonel's stronghold is located, and the other part is located in the western inland desert region.

The oil fields in the Sirte Basin are relatively close to the coastline, making extraction easier and yielding larger outputs. They are currently the focus of competition among various forces.

The main oil field in the inland desert region is the Sharara oil field, which is about 700 kilometers away from Zawiye and connected to Zawiye by pipeline. It is currently shut down.

Qin Rui now has two directions, one of which is to head south into the inland desert region and control the Sharara oil field.

Another option is to head west and establish a transportation route to the Tunisian border.

"Tiger, we should head east and take Tripoli."

Musa's suggestion was more radical than Qin Rui's.

"Tripoli is the capital. If we occupy Tripoli, we will become the target of everyone's criticism."

Qin Rui didn't want to reveal his strength too early, so he focused on developing his strength cautiously.

"Only by becoming the target of everyone's criticism can we grow rapidly."

Musa's reminder was a revelation to Qin Rui.

The daily consumption of [evolution points] by the system hangs over Qin Rui's head like the Sword of Damocles.

Qin Rui had no time to play it safe and develop his strength.

Moreover, occupying Tripoli will not only not hinder attacks in other directions, but will also generate a large amount of [Evolution Value], providing Qin Rui with the necessary troops for expansion.

Since that was the case, Qin Rui no longer hesitated and ordered Musa to immediately send troops to Tripoli.

With Musa's order, the troops, who were already fully equipped, boarded their vehicles and headed straight for Tripoli from the port area.

Qin Rui took a photo with his phone, opened Baidu to find the post he had made, and uploaded it.

It was only then that Qin Rui realized there were already over a hundred replies below.

It was 8 a.m., which was 2 p.m. in East Asia.

Endless War: What are we doing here?

Numidian translator: They said they were going to attack Tripoli.

Colonel: You audacious thief! How dare you leak military secrets! Drag him out and shoot him for five minutes!

Numidian translator: Anyone interested in buying oil? Prices fluctuate with the market. Barter is also an option if you don't want to pay. At least 30 barrels are produced daily. If interested, please reply below or contact me directly.

Shortly after the reply was sent, the post was pinned to the top.
