Selling oil across Libya

Chapter 137 Quick Victory

Semites are widely distributed, and the three major Western religions were founded by Semites.

The rise of the Assyrian camp and the entry of Libyan troops into Kuwait to assist Kuwaiti forces in maintaining security on the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border occurred almost simultaneously.

There is a great deal of room for imagination here.

To prevent the Assyrian camp from continuing to grow, Blackwater International demanded that international organizations in Kuwait cease supplying Saifwan.

This demand fully demonstrates Blackwater International's arrogance and overconfidence.

The delivery of humanitarian aid to Iraq was led and coordinated by the United Nations.

What right does Blackwater International, a mere private security company, have to interfere with the actions of the United Nations?

The United Nations really doesn't have much to do with the US government.

There are simply too many ways to deal with Blackwater International.

Despite Blackwater International's unreasonable demands, the United Nations not only did not stop sending supplies to Iraq, but also announced a new aid plan, aiming to provide $10 billion worth of humanitarian aid to Iraq and Syria within the year.

Al Jazeera produced two programs focusing on Blackwater International's atrocities in the Middle East.

Under the barrage of public opinion, the U.S. Department of Defense's attitude toward Blackwater International has also quietly changed.

Blackwater International's rapid rise is largely attributed to its large-scale employment of retired U.S. government officials and retired U.S. generals as advisors.

Although these officials and generals have retired, they still wield considerable influence within the US government and military, which greatly helps Blackwater International secure business from the US Department of Defense.

Blackwater International was able to secure contracts from the U.S. Department of Defense because it was capable of completing the tasks assigned by the Department of Defense and was willing to take the blame for the Department of Defense and do the dirty work that the U.S. military could not do.

Although Libya is a suitable scapegoat.

The situation in Basra spirals out of control, indicating that Blackwater International's capabilities are no longer sufficient to maintain Basra's security.

There are many private security companies active in the Middle East. Among the larger ones, besides Blackwater International, there are Deyang and Trifoliate Jungle.

Although Blackwater International promised the Iraqi National Oil Company that it would continue to send more mercenaries to the port of Basra to strengthen security.

The Iraqi National Oil Company proactively contacted Deyang and Sanye Jungle to inquire whether they were interested in taking over the security work at the port of Basra.

I definitely have an interest in it.

The key question is whether it can be done.

And how much profit there is.

If enough troops are deployed to expand control over the entire Basra region, it might be possible to prevent an attack on the port.

However, if this were done, the advisory group of Deyang and Sanye Jungle estimated that at least 5000 people would be needed to ensure control of Basra.

In this way, there is no profit to be made from the entire order.

You might even lose money.

To ensure the security of the Basra port, the Iraqi National Oil Company pays Blackwater International approximately $1200 million per month.

Even when Iraq's National Oil Corporation raised the price to $1500 million, Deyang and Sanye Jungle were unwilling to take it on.

Left with no other option, the Iraqi National Oil Company had to take the initiative to contact the Assyrian camp.

Saddam Hussein preferred to cooperate with the Iraqi National Oil Company, gradually grow stronger, and then eliminate the Iraqi National Oil Company when the time was right.

Yuri disagreed.

We should strike while the iron is hot against the Iraqi National Oil Company, this venomous snake.

The Assyrian camp not only refused to cooperate with the Iraqi National Oil Company, but also expanded its attack scope to include oil fields and pipelines, aiming to completely cut off Iraq's oil exports.

Iraq's daily oil production is roughly the same as Libya's.

If Iraqi oil production were to cease, it would objectively help stabilize oil prices, and Libya would also benefit from this.

"Tiger, is this feasible?"

Haishan wasn't sure if doing this aligned with the system's assessment of "civilization."

"It is theoretically feasible."

Qin Rui was also unsure.

Although the Iraqi National Oil Corporation operates under the name of a "nation," its actions do not align with Iraq's interests. If judged by the system, it certainly does not fall within the realm of "civilization."

If the Assyrian camp, through its attacks, forces Western capital to leave Iraq and ensures that the profits generated from Iraqi oil are truly used for Iraq and its people, it should fall under the category of "civilization."

The key lies in the system's judgment of the behavior of "attack".

As the number of people in the system increased, the fluctuations in the [Evolution Value] became extremely large. Sometimes, the [Evolution Value] would decrease instead of increase throughout the entire day, which terrified Qin Rui.

Sometimes, a sudden surge of "evolution points" would inexplicably fill Qin Rui with mixed joy and surprise.

Qin Rui's mood is like a rollercoaster right now, all about the thrill.

"Then let's give it a try."

Yuri didn't want to waste time; he wanted a quick victory.

There's no point in talking to these bastards. Since we're bound to turn against each other sooner or later, it's better to end it quickly than suffer for a long time.

Expanding the scope of attacks to oil fields and pipelines will certainly trigger a fierce counterattack from Western capital.

Without the intervention of the US government, it is impossible to win this war using only capital and mercenaries.

Since the scope of the attack was to be expanded, Faisal and Saeed hoped that Qin Rui would send more fully-leveled soldiers, obtained through system exchange, to Iraq.

Qin Rui disagreed.

Iraq now has four companies of fully-equipped soldiers, which is enough for Iraq.

Based on the experiences of Guinea and Chad, Iraq will need more administrators in the future to ensure that the Iraqi government's actions do not deviate from the requirements of the system.

The system now requires nearly 10,000 Evolution Points per day.

Qin Rui needs to keep the daily consumption of [Evolution Value] below 10,000 to ensure the healthy operation of the system.

In Qin Rui's plan, Iraq, like Guinea, is only a resource-producing country, and its sole role is to provide more "evolution value" for the system.

Chad's arrival was purely accidental; his greatest contribution was consolidating Libya's surrounding security, and incidentally, he also generated [evolution value].

Qin Rui doesn't need these countries to develop technology, but he does need them to share the costs for Libya.

As Qin Rui's team of technical personnel gradually increased, the Haruje Research Institute added two new departments to conduct research on petroleum refining technology and steel processing.

Once the political situation in Guinea stabilizes, Libya will have a stable supply of iron ore and bauxite.

The technical upgrade of the Misrata Steel Plant has been completed, and the second phase of the project has commenced.

Encouragingly, the Misrata steel plant, after its renovation, has increased its efficiency by a full 150% compared to before.

This significant improvement was made possible not only by the efforts of Libyan technicians, but also by the crucial contributions of Eastern technicians.
