Selling oil across Libya

Charles firmly believes that his drone is more advanced and promising than Professor Roy's.

Bennett also believes that Charles's drone is more advanced.

However, in terms of prospects, Charles, a greenhorn, is clearly less convincing than Professor Roy's team.

Bennett only needs one concept to package a company.

The next step is either to push the company to go public, raise funds, and leave.

Alternatively, they could sell the company directly, thus raising money and leaving.

The entire process does not involve any production环节.

As Charles walked out of Bennett's company, despite the bright sunshine, he felt a biting cold wind.

"We are the champions my friends..."

The phone rang, but the stirring lyrics didn't cheer Charles up; instead, they felt a bit ironic.

So what if we're champions?

The rules of the game have changed.

"Charles, come back quickly! We have money! An angel has descended!"

The phone call came from Gabriel, the company's partner, who was overjoyed, amidst the screams and cheers of his colleagues.

Charles drove his used Camry back to the company as fast as he could.

When Charles went to meet Bennett, Gabriel secured investment through the Italian company GF.

GF stands for Golden Finger.

Although GF only provided $10, it was enough for Charles and his team to complete their research on drones.

If Charles's team's drone development meets the design standards, GF will provide phased rewards and continue to invest to support Charles in further refining his design.

Charles developed this drone not to make money, but to secure drone orders from the U.S. military.

Therefore, the drones developed by Charles' team are fixed-wing drones, not the toy-like quadcopter drones.

"Who's behind GF? The Italian military?"

Charles was excited and also very curious about GF Corporation.

"Whoever they are, as long as they give us money, they're our angels!"

Gabriel didn't care at all.

Charles thought about it for a moment and then put the question out of his mind.

Gabriel is right; ideals must ultimately be based on reality.

In Jalil's view, Yuri's ideals were not only impossible to achieve, but would also plunge Libya into a deep abyss.

The colonel died and his clan was wiped out because he tried to change the rules of the game, which plunged Libya into civil war.

If Yuri persists in his own way, it may bring even greater disaster to Libya.

After the Benghazi coup, Jalil became increasingly somber and did not, as he had a few months earlier, call for NATO to bomb the Numidian Brigade.

The current international situation is completely different from that of the past.

Stevens' death has left Obama and Hillary in a bind, facing not only congressional accountability but also attacks from Republicans and overwhelming public pressure.

In three months, France will hold its presidential election. Sarkozy has already shifted his focus from abroad to the domestic situation and has no time to attend to Libya.

On the same day that the Shield 2000 arrived in Tripoli, the Scottish National Party held a meeting and unanimously decided to hold a referendum at the end of the year to decide whether to secede from the United Kingdom.

This explosive news has drawn the world's attention to Britain.

So much so that when the Shield 2000 arrived in Libya, no one even bothered to use it.

It can't be said that nobody cares.

Payne kept a close eye on Tripoli and Benghazi.

While the Numidian Brigade is preparing for war, Benghazi is engulfed in unprecedented chaos.

Operation Odyssey Dawn primarily took place in the west, with the eastern region, including Benghazi, being less affected, and the general public's perception of the war was not as profound.

Haftar's reactionary policies have sparked public outrage, leading to a coalition of armed groups launching an attack on Benghazi, which is defended by Haftar's Libyan National Army.

Forced by circumstances, Haftar redeployed the Zintan Brigade, stationed in Misrata, back to Benghazi to strengthen defenses.

The Zintan Brigade was indeed formidable, quickly driving the coalition forces out of Benghazi and restoring order to the city.

Haftar had just breathed a sigh of relief when the Zintan Brigade was ambushed by coalition forces in Soluk, southwest of Benghazi, and its armed helicopters and armored units were almost completely wiped out.

"Where did the coalition forces get their anti-aircraft missiles?"

Yuri was surprised.

Numidian forces went to great lengths to acquire a batch of "Avant-garde" aircraft, which were said to have better performance than Avant-garde.

It's said that you can only know if it's good or not after using it.

Why were the coalition forces able to acquire anti-aircraft missiles so easily?

"The situation in Benghazi is very complicated right now. There are not only Russians, but also Turks, Middle Easterners, and even Persians mixed in."

Payne hadn't expected Benghazi to be in such a mess.

"Now that the Benghazi coalition forces have air defense and anti-armor capabilities, we must have fixed-wing fighter jets in order to launch an attack on Benghazi."

Musa desired more from Long.

"Impossible! Don't be so greedy!"

Those Black Hawks and BrahMos have put ExxonMobil in a very unfavorable public opinion environment;

Mobil is an oil producer, not an arms dealer.

Payne was furious.

Although the Black Hawk that Payne sent was brand new, like BrahMos, it was a second-hand item salvaged from the Middle East battlefield.

When the U.S. military handed these weapons over to the local government, it removed almost all the high-tech equipment, including the BrahMos's reactive armor, which greatly reduced its combat effectiveness compared to the complete BrahMos.

Look at Payne's strong reaction.

Yuri and Musa exchanged a glance, realizing that things were hopeless.

It would be best to get a fixed-wing fighter jet.

It doesn't matter if I can't get it.

Musa's request was essentially a gamble, with no guarantee of success.

After seeing Payne off, Qin Rui came over from next door, and the three of them continued their little meeting.

"We can occupy Misrata first and be ready to attack the oil fields in the Sirte Basin at any time, but we should not attack for the time being to avoid becoming the target of everyone."

Musa's strategy remains to sit back and watch the two sides fight.

"What will happen to Total and Royal Dutch Shell?"

Yuri was still worried about relations with Europe.

"We can share profits with European and American oil companies, but the premise is that our interests must be effectively guaranteed."

Qin Rui couldn't afford to fall out with these scoundrels yet; he had to continue hanging around.

Of course, the traditional skill of pulling one faction against another must continue to be employed.

Haftar wants to take the lion's share while also trying to avoid offending anyone; his thinking is fundamentally flawed.

The ancestors had already told Qin Rui what to do in this situation.

Qin Rui chose a policy of befriending distant states while attacking nearby ones, but with certain conditions.

Qin Rui naturally chose Mobil over Total and Royal Dutch Shell.

The Eni Group supply chain cannot be severed, because there is also the EU outside of NATO.

As long as trade with the Eni Group is maintained, Numidia Travel can at least keep abreast of the EU's stance.

The most important one is definitely Ding Jian.

On January 20, with the arrival of the first batch of "Lion" heavy armored vehicles in Tripoli, the Numidian Brigade was ready to launch an attack on Misrata.
