Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 479: Tribal Armed Forces, More Good News

So what are the obstacles on his way forward?
Putting down the satellite phone, Xia Yu looked at the Tuareg tribe-controlled area bordering Aljilia on the computer screen.

The National Army will launch a full-scale offensive against the Government of National Unity next year. Hartaf cannot hide this from anyone because his first step is to seize the Tuareg territory and encircle Tripoli.

But Xia Yu couldn’t wait until that time, because he had to open up the trade route from Libiya to Aljiliya to Mali.

As an area that neither faction can govern, the territory of the indigenous Tuareg tribe of Libya contains a large amount of enriched uranium and weapons and equipment left over from the war.

“So the focus will continue to be on the Tuareg?”

Back at Jufra Air Force Base, Hans spoke and asked at the internal operations meeting held by Xia Yu.

"Not all of them. There are also their mortal enemies, the Tubu people."

Xia Yu picked up the remote control pen and pressed it, and the TV screen jumped to the next slide.

The TuBu, also known as Tebu, are one of the few long-lived tribes in Afika. The harsh living environment has made them as strong as the Sherpas. They only eat grass roots and dates every day and can hike 100 kilometers in the desert.

Therefore, in the last century, they and their mortal enemies, the Tuareg, became tribal mercenaries of Kadazzo.

To this day, they are nominally part of the Government of National Unity, but they strongly support the National Army’s fight against ISA, so they are closer to Khartaf.

But once the generals go south, this tacit understanding will be gone, and they will turn around and join the Tuareg to fight against the National Army's troops.

"The desert belongs to the Tuaregs and the Toubu. Hartaf's small army cannot defeat the armed forces of these two tribes. It is not cost-effective to send the main force here. It is likely that they will use some of their forces to watch over them while concentrating their forces to attack Tripoli."

Xia Yu continued to introduce.

Without the deployment at Libya, and without the intervention of concentrated fire defense, the subsequent situation would have basically developed in this way.

But here they are. Are the colonel's former right-hand men ready for the challenge?

The desert of northern Philippines made Rommel famous in one battle and won the honor of Desert Fox. Today, more than 70 years later, he has made a name for himself in the Sahel region below, and now he has brought his armored troops to the former North African battlefield.

"They have registered with both the National Army and the National Unity Government. Isn't it good for us to just beat them like this?"

Hans asked, and foreigners also understood the principle of having a legitimate reason for learning.

Jihuo Defense values ​​interests but will not be driven by them. The targets of the orders it has undertaken since its establishment have basically been undisputed. The two tribal armed forces are equally not clean.

“Occupying oil fields is not a big deal, but isn’t smuggling weapons and equipment and trafficking in human beings enough?”

Xia Yu switched the slides continuously, and the photos on them were all solid evidence.

In Afika, you need a license to engage in arms trading. Without a license and a backer, you are just a piece of fat meat. As long as you are strong enough, you can use the excuse of justice to rob the gangs.

Not to mention human trafficking, can you believe that it is the 21st century and there are still people trafficking black slaves in Afika?

Those who had gone through untold hardships to reach Libya, the last stop before entering Europe, ended up with many people dying before "dawn" and were directly sold for hundreds or thousands of dollars by these tribal armed forces.

Women are more expensive, while men are cheaper. They are both good at mining and doing hard labor.

They waited for these foreigners who wanted to go to the Western Paradise to enjoy bliss, but took the initiative to attack their fellow tribesmen scattered in Zaode, Xuxun and Nirir.

There was no other way. The entire Libi Ya had a population of more than 600 million, and they were just a small tribe with a minority population. If they wanted to grow and become stronger, they could only go north to capture the Jurchens like the Jianzhou Jurchens did and expand their own power.

In ancient times, no one cared about it, but nowadays it is a crime and must be dealt with severely.

Unfortunately, these countries have limited strength and can only bury their heads in the sand and pretend not to see it.

But they can act like ostriches. Xia Yu, who shoulders the burden of the EU and the UN, has sharp eyes. He must fight against the visible crimes of Libya.

"That's fine, just kill them."

Hans spoke for everyone.

"These are just the ones that are happening on the surface. It is unclear whether the indigenous Tuareg tribes in Libya are coordinating with Azawad in private. They are not using the equipment in Gaddafi's secret arsenal. It is more of a cut-off."

Xia Yu also expressed his guess.

If the weapons that can arm hundreds of thousands of people are discovered, they will definitely be taken out and used. Once used, they will leave traces and people will find that this batch of goods is related to Colonel Ka.

The Coordination of Azawad dared to cooperate with extremist organizations in Mari and found nothing wrong with it, but the one in Libya still wants to follow the government!

They must not appear to be related to the arsenal, so even if there is contact between the two sides, they must cut off the relationship on the surface.

The indigenous Tuareg tribe in Libya have to buy their own guns and artillery, and it seems that they are not as coordinated as the Azawad movement, but they and the Tuareg people each control a large oil field, and are also engaged in human trafficking and arms smuggling businesses, so there is no need to worry about their financial situation.

"The Chinese have also speculated about this, but they cannot intervene in Libya like they did during the Gaddafi era. At most, they can publicly support the National Unity Government and secretly send Javelin anti-tank missiles to the National Army. This is also quite hard work."

Honestly speaking, it is a bit of a waste to use Javelin to fight against the T-62 and M60 of the National Unity Government. After all, the Chinese bought them at a very high price back then, at more than 20 yuan each!
This is the price at which the two antique cars are sold in the arms market. I wonder if Tuerqi will provide assistance to Leopard 80A2 when T-4BV comes on the market?

Katar usually only gives money but not equipment, otherwise Xia Yu would really like to see the confrontation between the gold coin car Leopard 2A7+ and the Soviet car.

"Hahaha~~"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

The Afika gendarmerie is just lame. It's okay that they hedged their bets, but the weapons they provided were from Magnesium. Once they checked the serial numbers, they would know that they were the same batch sold to you, and you can't deny it.

They were directly humiliated at the United Nations. If they were selling their own products, Lao Mei would not have said a word. However, 10 years of laziness have doomed today's result.

"So we are here. The endless yellow sand of the Sahara cannot stop the charge of our armored forces, nor can it stop our armed helicopters and fighter jets."

With the atmosphere reaching this point, Xia Yu also began the pre-war mobilization.

The next task is not an easy paid collection, but a real fight with real guns to defeat the main war factions of the two tribal armed forces.

Let the surviving moderates cut off those black businesses and mobilize their forces to confiscate enriched uranium and weapons left over from the battlefield.

Compared with the Toubu people, the Tuareg people deserve more attention. They definitely know something about the secret arsenal discovered by the Coordination of Azawad.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Lao Ke, who led the instructor team to Jufra Air Force Base, was the first to shout.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Life does not stop, fighting does not stop, this is the concentrated fire defense. The vanguard set out that night, and the main force brought cartloads of belongings and entered Shati Province from Jufra Province.

In the vast desert, the Tuareg people occupy the border part of the province and most of the Obari province, while the Toubu people are in the larger Murzuq province below.

The two oil fields not far from each other are their core control areas. Sitting in the spacious troop transport cabin of the KF-41 Lynx, Xia Yu was enjoying the air conditioning and swiping the tablet in his hand, zooming in on the aerial footage of the Sharara oil field.

This is a large oil field whose daily production once reached 31.5 barrels of crude oil, but has now dropped to 17.5 barrels. It is also the oil field with the highest production in Libya.

Due to years of war, the country's production capacity has dropped from 330 million barrels per day at its peak to 110 million barrels per day, which makes the importance of the Sharara oil field even more apparent.

So if I were Colonel Kadiz, and I were preparing to make a comeback, would I choose Tripoli or Benghazi?
The answer is neither. Ports and big cities are too dangerous. If foreign forces intervene, they will be doomed.

In contrast, rural areas with abundant resources are very suitable.

"So Gaddafi's secret arsenal is near the Sharara oil field?"

A light bulb went off in Xia Yu's head, and he made a bold guess.

Yes, in modern society, oil is money, or it is more useful than cash.

Even though the battle at Syria was like that, the oil extracted from ACEIS was still marketable, and even the government forces had to pay for it.

Then, relying on the Sharara oil field with the largest production capacity, coupled with weapons and equipment hidden nearby that can arm hundreds of thousands of people, Colonel Ka will be able to make a comeback.

It’s a pity that the Arab Spring came too quickly and he couldn’t escape to Sharara at all. He could only hide in his hometown of Sirte.

Then he was caught by the opposition, tortured to death and thrown into the freezer of a butcher shop, thus ending the 42-year rule over Libya. He just started primary school this year.

But if Xia Yu's reasoning is correct, then his plan is still good. The problem is that after living a life of luxury for too long, he forgot that he is a soldier first and a president second.

In this state, even if you can escape to Sharara, it will be difficult to make a comeback, and you can only survive a few more years.

"Honey, what's wrong with you?"

Liv, who was taking a nap nearby, was awakened by Xia Yu's noise. She rubbed her eyes and asked her husband.

"I already have an idea of ​​the approximate location of the target arsenal. There are no such coincidences in the world. The indigenous Tuareg people of Libya and the Azawad Coordination Movement are definitely related. The arsenal that neither the Westerners nor the two armed factions have found is likely to be on their territory."

The desert can bury pyramids, so it can naturally cover an underground arsenal.

"Really? So we can end this deployment soon?"

Liv asked happily.

She didn't like Libya, or rather, she didn't like those reserve illegal immigrants who regarded Europe as a paradise, those tribal armed forces who treated people as pigs, dogs and livestock, and finally the two agents pushed forward by various countries.

This is the real Libya. In the post-Gaddafi era, it feels much worse than Syria. At least Libya still has a future, but here there is only war and crime.

I can only say that the gap is too big. At least Libya once prospered because of oil, but now the city has been destroyed. The oil that is still being produced has turned into fuel for the war machine, allowing the war to continue to burn in Libya.

It would be better to have no oil and develop from scratch like those poor countries in Africa.

"We can, but Mongoose and the others can't. The contract between the EU and the UN is a huge framework, and it can't be solved by dealing with one or two tribal armed forces. They must at least be deployed to Hartaf to launch a general offensive."

Xia Yu understood his wife's prejudice against Libiya. Someone who was so enthusiastic about voluntary medical assistance came here but didn't prescribe any medicine. There must be something wrong.

However, for a mature businessman, when a one-dollar bill and a one-euro bill are placed in front of him, neither one is noble nor cheap. The only thing he needs to consider is whether he should take the money.

"Well then, shall we go back to Marie then?"

Liv also knew about her husband's layout in the Sahel region. Both the Cold War branch and the aircraft graveyard were important.

"We need to go back. The runway at Kidar Airport is being rebuilt. It will be completed in a quarter. After delivering the mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles, we will return to Asia."

Xia Yu told his wife about his plans for the company in the second half of the year.

After completing the final modification project, the Tenacity-class is expected to be officially delivered in June next year and return to the Asia branch of Jihuo Defense. It can be said that actual combat is training.

After all, it's just fighting pirates, not a naval battle.

"You don't get seasick, do you, dear?"

Before obtaining the system, Xia Yu didn't know whether he was seasick or not. But after obtaining the system, let alone ships, he didn't even get seasick on spaceships. However, it seemed that there were many "landlubbers" in the fire defense team, including his wife?
"I'm not crazy about Paul's Octopus, but forget about the warship."

Liv waved her hands quickly.

The comfort of a superyacht always comes first, but the comfort of a military ship comes last. She feels that it will be difficult for her to conquer the ocean in her lifetime.

"Then you have to help me keep an eye on Mari. The Asian branch has officially opened for business, so they can't do without me for the time being."

Xia Yu said regretfully.

He still likes the life of being taken care of by someone, but his wife is seasick, so they have to stay on the shore and eat sand, and he has to be the king of the sea.

"Career is important, but... "

Liv was interrupted by nausea and she could only hear a series of dry heaving.

What happened? Has seasickness developed into motion sickness?
No, could it be that she is pregnant again?
Xia Yu suddenly remembered the symptoms his wife experienced when she was first pregnant. Isn’t what she is experiencing now typical morning sickness?

The son was sent back to his hometown. There were not many entertainment activities in the desert, and Xia Yu was busy promoting various projects. The only way for the couple to relax was to have a baby.

So they succeeded again?

When we arrived at the temporary residence, the pregnancy test stick showed two bars.

As expected, Xia Yu was going to be a father again. He was so happy that he picked up his wife and spun her around twice.

"Honey, I hope it's a girl this time."

After putting Liv down, Xia Yu said expectantly, "It would be great to have both a son and a daughter!"

He worked hard to earn hundreds of millions of yuan, why not have more children? It is enough to take half of them with him, and leave the rest to promote economic development.
