Chapter 696 Learn to flatter
"Boss!" Luo Xiang** realized that the boss was wrong, quietly came to Li Mo's side, touched Li Mo and secretly reminded him.
Li Mo was shocked and woke up from the confusion. He looked at Luo Xiang with admiration and secretly said that he was ashamed. How old are you? At the critical moment, you actually travel around the world.
This is not a private occasion, but a formal occasion for diplomatic surnames. Although Gaddafi tried his best to create a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, it can be seen from the fact that the participants tonight were basically several core people on both sides, but the more so, the more Li Mo could not make mistakes.
When he woke up secretly, Li Mo naturally showed a natural and kind smile on his face, looking at Gaddafi at the last minute of the speech.
However, at this time, Li Mo unconsciously remembered all kinds of things in his mind. Why did he connect Gaddafi with the greatest orator of the 20th century and the greatest figure of the 20th century before?
There should be no comparison between the two. What kind of person is that mustache? The German [***] team, which has provoked a war that affects the whole world and has the world's first-class army, first-class weapons and equipment, first-class tactical ideas. If it is not for the third-rate command, it is hard to say what the current world pattern is.
Don't say that the Nazis are evil and the allies are just. Li Mo has always sneered at such remarks. If the whole earth is regarded as a country, the mustache is a coupist full of ambition and desire, but the final outcome is the defeat of the coup, and the winner naturally has the right to write history.
Compared with Beard, Gaddafi's strength and achievements are far from each other, and they are not at the same level at all. But Gaddafi's surname and behavior are similar to his beard. They are all good at speeches and like to package their own words, making him an ideology recognized by the public. Strong support for the nation or tribe of their own origin, while adopting a suppression and control attitude towards other ethnic groups or tribes. In dealing with the army, Beard is more inclined to the SS to some extent, just like Gaddafi's direct revolutionary guard. There are many similarities between the two, such as 'rescuing' the motherland from poverty...However, Gaddafi will never become a mustache. On the one hand, the international environment today is stable, which is different from the beginning of the 20th century. On the other hand, Libya's comprehensive strength is far less than that of Germany at that time. There is no technical advantage, and there is even a big gap in human resources.
But there is no doubt that Gaddafi is a very frightening person among the current leaders. Remember former U.S. President Ronald? Reagan once said that Gaddafi is a 'mad dog in the Middle East'. It can be seen that Gaddafi's surname belongs to the kind of situation where once there is contradiction and hatred, it is absolutely immortal. This situation rarely occurs at the level of national leaders. At this time, everyone can basically learn to compromise for one benefit, but Gaddafi still goes his own way, like a 'lone fighter'.
Soon, the banquet began. On the long table, Li Mo and Gaddafi were like old friends, and the positions were connected. This is Gaddafi's special request. He believes that Li Mo is a friend of Libya, and there should be no need to be too restrained and pay attention to the occasion between friends.
Li Mo was too lazy to defend Gaddafi's strange remarks, but refused. He is thinking about how to deepen the friendship between the two countries.
Dinner is very simple. On a plate in front of everyone is beef roasted by a famous chef, plus a bowl of camel milk and a bowl of Libyan soup. In Libya, alcohol is prohibited, and as a devout Muslim, Gaddafi did not change his beliefs and principles because of diplomatic occasions.
"Li, don't blame me for being verbs. I sincerely hope to see the friendship between the two countries will last for a long time. Although Libya is dominated by Arabs, Somalia is also a country that inherits Arab culture. The cooperation between the two countries has natural advantages." Gaddafi put down the knife and looked at Li Mo's solemn face. After saying that, he smiled and said, "I know that Somalia has been treated unfairly because of the peaceful reunification and accelerated development. For example, the United States, which always thinks that the world is theirs and wants to intervene everywhere. At first, I was worried that the Somali Brotherhood could not withstand the pressure, but later I was very happy that the Somali people, like the Libyan people, have a leader who is not afraid of power, and we are taking them to resist the oppression and plunder of world hegemony..."
As soon as Gaddafi opened his mouth, the hands on the whole table put down the movements of his hands and mouth at the same time, pricked up his ears and listened carefully. Libyan officials, in particular, even showed a devout look, just like listening to the teachings of the Lord.
Li Mo began to listen to Gaddafi's praise and was a little happy, but he felt something wrong when he listened to it, because Gaddafi always brought himself in and praised him when praising Somalia and Li Mo. Gradually, Li Mo's heart was a little tired. He even felt that Gaddafi's praise for him was to say it casually. The main purpose was to let Li Mo know his achievements and achievements.
"President Gaddafi, six million people in Libya, under your leadership, took the lead in getting out of poverty from international sanctions and blockades. I think you should be one of the greatest leaders in the 21st world. It is a remarkable achievement for the Libyan people to get rid of poverty and improve their living standards, which I really envy. After receiving your invitation this time, President Yusuf told me to learn from your country the valuable experience of how to get rid of poverty and develop the economy. I hope the president will not hesitate to teach me. Although he was tired of it, Li Mo still suppressed his nausea and said a lot of praise. Anyway, the flattery was worthless. He lost a few more. Once Gaddafi was happy, it would be of great benefit to his task this time. After all, in Libya, as long as Gaddafi decides something, it is basically the same as the decision of Libya's political axe, and there is no need to worry about unexpected changes.
This is the advantage of reading!
Sure enough, Gaddafi has always been proud of Gaddafi to develop Libya from internal and foreign pressure to become the richest country in Africa. Li Mo's flattering Gaddafi is very comfortable. He immediately laughed and said, "Li, you are really good at talking. But I think you're right. I have put a lot of effort and effort into Libya today. If I hadn't overthrown the pro-American Idris dynasty and the oil that God gave to the Libyans, I would have only become the things of the Yankees and their lackeys in the end. Oil is given by Allah to Villa, but some people betrayed God and betrayed the Libyan people. They were willing to become the lackeys and minions of the Yankees, and gave the gift of God to Libya to those greedy capitalists without cherished. This is to be punished by Allah.
Li Mo timely showed a trace of envy and praised that Libyans are deeply loved by God. Somalia is an oil-poor country and lacks oil resources, which brings great obstacles to Somalia's development.
Although Gaddafi is very complapid about his achievements, he is not stupid. Hearing Li Mo's words, I knew that Li Mo had something to say.
With a smile, Gaddafi put his arms around Li Mo's shoulder without hesitation and smiled, "Li, Somalia and Libya are brothers. For the friendship between the two countries, I sincerely hope you can come to Libya to invest and give preferential treatment."
"Really? Thank you very much for your help to the Somali people. I think 10 million Somali people will not forget your friendship. Li Mo was not used to Gaddafi's indity, but he heard that it was good, and he couldn't control it. He quickly accepted Gaddafi's 'friendship' released, and was afraid that Gaddafi would repent.
Gaddafi let go of Li Mo, nodded with a smile, and said, "Come on, a toast to the friendship between the two countries." He picked up the camel milk and motioned to Li Mo and the officials at the table.
In Gaddafi's heart, he was secretly laughing. Young people are easy to fool. Libya is now in urgent need of investment. Your investment in Libya is of great benefit to Libya's economic development. After a few words, it turned out that the Somali people want to thank him for Gaddafi.
Libya's oil resources are very rich, but due to long-term international sanctions and blockades, Libya's oil extraction and smelting technology is backward, and there is a lack of advanced mining and smelting equipment. Gaddafi's anti-Western has led to Libya's oil resources not being exploited by advanced Western technology, which is very behind the Middle East. Libya has about 3 billion tons of oil reserves, 1.6 million barrels of crude oil extracted every day, 250,000 barrels of domestic consumption, and a net export of 1.35 million barrels. As for oil alone, it brings tens of millions of dollars of revenue to Libya every day. From this, we can see why Libya's economic development is rapid and why Libya has become the richest country in Africa. Tens of millions of dollars a day, and Libya's oil companies are all state-owned companies, all of which are from the country, that is, Gaddafi's.
However, Libya's oil industry has a big gap in efficiency with oil companies in Western countries due to the backwardness of technology and equipment. Therefore, Gaddafi is very dissatisfied. He hopes to increase the output value and benefits of the oil industry. After all, advanced technology and equipment bring low cost and high benefits. Because most of Libya's oil is directly exported to crude oil, many of the added value of the oil industry are earned by foreign companies, which makes Gaddafi very distressed. So he now needs advanced oil exploration technology, advanced petrochemical technology and equipment.
But because of its relationship with the West, although it has gradually improved since last year, both Western countries and Gaddafi are deeply vigilant and defensive towards each other. At this time, Gaddafi would never be willing to open up his oil resources to Western countries even a small mouth. The greedy surnamed Gaddafi of the capitalists is very clear that once the oil giants of these Western countries taste the benefits, these capitalists will definitely demand more oil resources and benefits, but this conflicts with Gaddafi's interests, and there may be great conflicts between the two sides.
Therefore, Gaddafi decided not to involve Western oil companies in oil exploration and smelting in Libya. As soon as this opening, it will not be easy to close it in the future.
Although Somalia's petrochemical technology is not as strong as Libya, Somalia can obtain technology from the West and even China. In order to achieve maximum profit, Somalia will definitely use means to obtain these technologies. At that time, Libya will naturally be able to get technology from companies invested in Somalia.
