Chapter 697 Gaddafi's Thoughts

At the end of a strong dinner, Gaddafi's eldest son, Muhammad, was ordered to accompany Somali Minister of Education Awil and the Minister of Health, while Gaddafi himself took Li Mo and Luo Xiang into a more heavily defended conference room in the presidential palace.

Both sides know that the next conversation is the highlight of Li Mo's visit to Libya.

After everyone sat down, the two maids brought a special milk tea and soon left.

"Li, I'm very happy today. Do you know why?" Gaddafi looked at Li Mo and asked.

Li Mo shook his head slightly and said, "I really don't know! I don't know if Mr. President has any happy event. Let's be happy together when we say it?

"Haha, Li, I'm happy because of you, my Gaddafi's friend is here. You don't know that I'm old and far less energetic than before. And I am full of feelings for Libya. No one can erase the efforts and painstaking efforts I have made over the past decades. However, the strength of Libya has made countless people dissatisfied. The gift given by God to the Libyan people has been peeped by countless jackals. I am under great pressure. Not only the outside, but also the inside!" Gaddafi seemed to really treat Li Mo as a confidant and complained to Li Mo.

Although Li Mo sneered at it in his heart, he nodded solemnly on his face. He agreed with Gaddafi's words.

As a reader, Gaddafi's IQ is definitely not low. In front of a foreign dignitary at a lower level than himself, he said that he was in a bad situation and was very unfavorable to be pessimistic about the present and the future. But he still said it, naturally to arouse the resonance of the other party. After all, some of Gaddafi's words are still realistic.

Although Libya is the richest country in Africa, the living standard of ordinary people has not reached its level of economic development. Libya's economic source, mainly oil, accounts for more than 60% of GDP. Libya's oil is exploited by state-owned companies, and huge profits cannot be fairly distributed to the six million Libyan people.

If Gaddafi wants to maintain his rule, or even inherit the rule of the Gaddafi family, he has to expand his strength. It costs money to attract his cronies. The long-term blockade and sanctions have caused Libya's military equipment to be very backward, and it costs money to upgrade. It is also necessary to take out a large amount of oil profits to deposit in the accounts of myself and my children to seek benefits for the Gaddafi family.

In the end, the huge oil profits, except for the so-called national education and medical security system, the ordinary people do not get more benefits.

This is not the main thing, because Libya's perfect education system and medical security system have satisfied many Libyans. Looking at other African countries, which country can be treated like Libya?

However, in Libya, not only those ordinary people, but also many forces and tribes suppressed by Gaddafi. These people have been suppressed by Gaddafi for a long time, political demands cannot be met, and economic interests are dominated by political axes and Gaddafi. Over time, Gaddafi's behavior naturally aroused public indignation. These powerful forces with prestige and public opinion will certainly not give up with Gaddafi. Many forces and tribes, with the support of foreign forces, frequently launched attacks on Gaddafi.

Under the 'provocation' of these people, more and more ordinary people have been pulled in and are dissatisfied with the unfair distribution of the political axe in oil interests.

People's hearts are greedy and will never be satisfied with the status quo. What's more, Gaddafi has indeed failed to be fair and just in dealing with ordinary citizens inside. As the saying goes, there is no widowhood but unevenness. More and more people think that the Gaddafi family's control of the country's oil resources and interests is to plunder everyone's interests. As soon as this sign appears, it will inevitably affect more people's dissatisfaction with Gaddafi.

Gaddafi has found this and is preparing for economic reform and introducing more welfare measures to improve national treatment. However, this requires a process, which cannot be achieved overnight. However, the increasingly obvious pressure from the outside world and many restless factors inside made Gaddafi feel that his seat was faintly unstable. At this time, Gaddafi urgently needs the understanding of the people and a great reputation, or to buy more time for himself to complete economic reform.

Li Mo also has a detailed understanding of the social situation in Libya, and of course he knows what the situation is. Gaddafi imposed speech control in Libya and controlled any speech against him. He has always hoped that a new system can be realized in Libya, neither capitalism nor [***]. In other words, Gaddafi hopes that the Gaddafi family can rule Libya for generations, but hopes that the people will not object to it. I hope that the Gaddafi family will become big capitalists, but I don't want other capitalists to squeeze the people in the country.

From the bottom of his heart, Gaddafi hopes that the Libyan people can live in a relatively fair and just social environment and system, but all this must be based on the absolute rule of Libya by the Gaddafi family. This leads to contradictions. The dictatorship, especially the family-style dictatorship, is inevitable. In this information age, what ordinary people need is not only to be basically satisfied with food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also more interests, such as political treatment.

How can other Libyans accept that the Gaddafi family firmly controls the core of political power and the country's economic lifeline?

Ordinary people are better. After all, those are too far away, but for those who have ambitions and desires, the Gaddafi family's move is equivalent to cutting off everyone's path of progress, both economic and political.

For those ambitious people, Gaddafi is not afraid. He has only one attitude, that is, a fierce blow, until the other party dares not have this idea again. What Gaddafi was afraid of was that the Libyan people stood up against it. Without the support of the Libyan people and the foundation of his rule, his 'third system' can only be an illusion, a castle in the air, which is not practical at all.

So Gaddafi urgently needs to find a solution to the problem. He already has an idea, that is, the Gaddafi family only controls the two cores of economy and politics, and divides a part of the country's economy and politics into two cakes, give them to the Libyan people, and finally reaches a balance point, which can make most Libyans full. It doesn't endanger the interests of the Gaddafi family.

However, whether this regime is reliable or not depends not only on the cohesion of the high-level core, but also the lower foundation. Gaddafi is worried that if the lower level is ceded to the people, will the rule of the Gaddafi family be stable? Once a group of people who control the basic regime in Libya are used by others, the rule of the Gaddafi family will immediately fall apart.

Therefore, it is very difficult to find this balance. Gaddafi is in urgent need of time, a lot of time. However, domestic and foreign forces will not give him too much time, because he has felt that an undercurrent is surging in the calm situation in Libya.

Some people are no longer at ease to be a docile citizen, and they hope to gain greater power and benefits. Foreign greedy capitalists and politicians have become interested in Libya's oil resources and Libya's geographical location. They can't wait to oust Gaddafi from power and support an agent to meet their interests.

Gaddafi knows his strength very well. He knows that Libya is now like a child with a golden brick. The strong enemy is waiting outside, and the saliva of the wolves has poured into the Mediterranean Sea. Once a group of jackals complete the distribution of internal interests, they will rush up and drive him out of power and plunder Libya.

At this time of domestic and diplomatic pressure, Gaddafi urgently needed more and stronger allies, and urgently needed to strengthen his strength and weight, which made the jackals feel scrupulous and made them understand that rushing on the prey would collapse their teeth, so as to curb the mind of the jackals being controlled by greedily to a certain extent.

And the Chinese deputy commander in front of him is also known for being tough in the outside world. Gaddafi felt that at this time, if anyone else could help him, the Third OECD would be one.

The comprehensive national strength of several member countries of the Third OECD may not be as good as that of a jackal, but these member states have sharp blades in their hands. In the dying struggle, they can also break the jackals and hurt both sides.

"Li, I plan to join the Third Economic Organization to contribute to the development of third world countries. What do you think?" Gaddafi said his ideas directly.

Li Mo was stunned when he heard the words and was surprised. I had planned to let Libya join the Third OECD, but I didn't expect the other party to take the initiative.

The Third Economic Cooperation Organization is nominally an organization mainly engaged in economic exchanges and trade cooperation, and its member countries are all third world countries. However, everyone knows that this organization can be said to be a complete 'military alliance'; countries like Iran pursue non-aligned foreign policy, but in practice, there are still many controllable surnames. The emergence of the Third OECD is equivalent to breaking the previous foreign policy. Of course, on the surface, no one will Admitted.

Everyone knows that the purpose of a 'paramilitary alliance' is to fight against the United States and all forces that threaten member countries. Since its establishment, its main external work has been to negotiate the nuclear issue with Western forces led by the United States. Because it involves nuclear weapons, although some countries internationally want to join the Third Economic Organization, they have not acted because of concerns.

At this time, what was the purpose of Gaddafi coming in? If Li Mo had been reborn for a year, he might not have been troubled by this problem, because at that time, Libya was being bombed by multinational forces and a no-fly zone was set up in Libya. Strike the air defense forces and strategic points under Gaddafi's control, and provide side support to the Libyan [***] armed forces.

Although Li Mo knows the contradictions in Libya, he does not have an intuitive impression and does not understand it like Gaddafi.

"Mr. President, Somalia welcomes members like Libya who share common interests with everyone to join. Personally, I welcome Libya to join the Third Economic Organization, but you also know that Iran is the founder of the Third Economic Organization. It requires the consent of most of the four countries to absorb member countries.
