Chapter 389 Distinctive Idealists(1/2)
Colonel didn't know what the car Sean was talking about looked like, but he was certain that he was moved.
It's true that not all countries can play large tanks. This thing is a gas tiger. Of course, Libya is not short of fuel, but they lack a complete logistics system.
It doesn’t mean that just attaching a few fuel tanks to a tank will allow the tank to drive at will!
A complete logistics system is too complicated, including transportation network, vehicles, food, medicine, drinking water, tents, weapons and ammunition, field hospitals, battlefield maintenance...
This is just a general direction, and professional talents are still needed!
With the level of education in Libya, it is difficult to find talents who can coordinate and manage any small project, no, it does not need to be understood.
How many tanks are needed for 300 tanks?
Take the east side as an example:
A tank division has 324 tanks. A tank division has 3 tank regiments, 1 tank-mounted infantry regiment, 1 artillery regiment, an air defense regiment, logistics support regiment, division headquarters, reconnaissance battalion, chemical defense battalion, engineer battalion, counterattack Tank battalion, communications battalion, repair battalion, transportation battalion, etc.
There are more than 1,600 people in the three tank regiments, 1,360 in the infantry regiment, 1,100 in the artillery regiment, 500 in the anti-aircraft artillery regiment, 610 in the logistics support regiment, 200 in the communications battalion, 450 in the engineer battalion, and the reconnaissance battalion. There are 200 people, and there are about 500 other personnel, totaling more than 7,000 people.
This is what a complete team of 300 tanks needs to equip.
But tanks will not be dispatched alone. They also need to be coordinated by armored divisions and infantry divisions...
This is the east side with developed infrastructure, complete road network, and sufficient logistics reserves.
If it were in a desert without roads, simply ensuring daily water supply would make Kadazor explode on the spot!
Currently, most of Kadzo's tank divisions are stationed in the northern coastal areas of Libya. All of Libya's big cities are on the Mediterranean coast, where most of the population is gathered.
Most of the other populations are in the northern areas near Tunisia and Algeria, while the southern areas near Chad are all desert areas and no-man's land.
Don’t mention logistics or anything like that.
"I need to see something before I can decide whether to buy it!" After thinking about it, Ka Dazuo said in a deep voice.
Even if the colonel dares not to give money to Lao Maozi, it is because he knows that the United States is here and Lao Maozi does not dare to do anything to him, so he is confident.
The reason why this is so certain is because in the Fourth Middle East War a few years ago, the Arabs used Egypt as the battlefield to fight against Israel.
The Egyptians asked Lao Maozi for support, but Lao Maozi refused directly. The Egyptians were furious, and Moscow directly shouted: If you don't give support, I will defect to the Americans!
American: Okay, okay, I have money, if you want to defect to me, I will ask Israel to compromise immediately!
When Lao Maozi saw that this was not going to work, he could only pinch his nose and sell a lot of weapons to the Egyptians at low prices.
Then, the Egyptians were defeated...
When your opponent is an Arab, you have already won!
Closer to home, Ka Dazuo didn’t dare to deceive Sean, let alone default on the payment.
There is no problem in owing money to the country. It is a small matter and can be discussed slowly.
But if you default on personal money, try it, it won’t kill you!
You must be careful when spending real money to buy things.
"It's not a big problem. I will bring the things over, but this arms order cannot be less than 1 billion US dollars. It can be US dollars, gold, pounds, even francs, but I will never accept oil!" Xiao En said while staring into Ka Dazuo's eyes.
"I will never pay a high price for some junk!" Ka Dazuo looked at Sean warily.
"Don't worry, you can ask the Saudis and Silly Damu about my reputation, Sean. The arms I sell are cheap and easy to use."
Speaking of this, Ka Dazuo showed a smile on his face. He knew about this. He got Sean's phone number from Saudi Arabia.
Sean's reputation in the Arab world is indeed very good.
After the serious talk was over, both of them had smiles on their faces, and they looked like they were chatting casually like old friends.
Especially when talking about the French, the two suddenly found a common topic and were very happy to scold each other.
If it weren't for the French, Cardano would have really been sure to conquer the entire Chad a few years ago. No one in Africa would care about it, as long as he could eat it.
But the door to the room was opened again, and the colonel's subordinates looked at the two people who were as close as brothers, with confusion in their eyes.
This is the first person who dares to argue with Ka Dazuo and in the end nothing happens!
In the evening, Cardano arranged for Sean to stay in the largest hotel in the capital.
A five-star hotel, very luxurious, located right next to the Mediterranean Sea. Although it is only 20 stories high, I have to say that Sean was still surprised when he moved in.
There are five-star hotels in Libya!
In fact, Libya during this period was very wealthy, at least in Africa, and Libyans were not primitive people. There were also capitalists here, very wealthy capitalists.
For example, although the owner of this hotel is Libyan, he has lived in Europe most of his life.
For Libya to be able to operate, it cannot be done by Colonel Kadzo alone, nor can the Colonel's fellow Sirte people. These people are like the ancient aristocratic families in the east. No matter who comes to power or who controls the country, they all need to
These people come to run the country.
After a night's rest in Tripoli, the next day we got more than 200 cars waiting for Sean downstairs in the hotel.
From the top floor of the hotel, you can see the motorcades filling the square in front of the hotel, including the highways on both sides.
"Is this fucking crazy?" Sean looked at Diane Lane and Halle Berry beside him with a depressed look.
The two women also had twitching corners of their mouths and didn't know how to comment.
The door was pushed open at this time, and Lorraine stepped in. She seemed not to notice the two women, one in black and one in white, who were only wearing three-point attire. She said to Sean with a cold face: "Ka Dazuo invites you to visit him."
army and the African miracle created under his auspices.”
"What African miracle?" Sean looked blank. Pyramid?
"The Great Artificial River Project." Lorraine said: "In 1983, Governor Cardano presided over a large-scale project entirely funded by the government. It was estimated to be worth nearly 25 billion U.S. dollars and was completed in five phases. Construction started in 1984.
The project is the largest water conservancy project in the world today, and it is unlikely to be surpassed even in the next few decades. It is called the eighth wonder of the world."
The southern desert area of Libya, under the deserts of Egypt, Libya, Chad and Sudan, is the largest freshwater resource of its kind in the world today, 16 times the total freshwater content of the Great Lakes in North America. In addition to the Arctic and Antarctic glaciers and icebergs, Nubi
The amount of fresh water in the subsandstone aquifer is greater than the total amount of freshwater lakes and rivers on the surface of the earth.
Cardano decided to pump out the underground fresh water under the Sahara Desert and transport it to all parts of the country using giant reinforced concrete pipelines with a total length of 4,000 kilometers and a diameter of 4 meters.
By 1991, approximately 1,500 miles of pipelines had been built to direct fresh water to three huge reservoirs. In 1996, fresh water was directed to Tripoli and in 2007 to the northeastern town of Gharyan.
"The colonel made a grand oath that he would turn the desert into an oasis. Not only did he promise, he actually did it and invested an astronomical amount of money for this."
Sean:!!!
Standing there, Sean frowned and his expression was stiff. Who is the real Cardano?
You can call him kind, but his waging wars can be described as cruel.
Call him cruel. Under his leadership, Libya did not engage in massacre after overthrowing the original feudal dynasty. Instead, he indeed led the Libyan people to become wealthy.
"Don't keep people waiting." Seeing Sean in a daze, Lorraine reminded him.
"Ah, oh." Sean said while getting dressed under the service of the two women: "Pack your things. If you can complete the visit today, then leave immediately. Cardano is poisonous. I think I'd better stay away from him.
."
Sean spoke quickly because he found himself becoming damn curious about this guy Cardano.
When he went downstairs, Ka Dazo, who was still wearing a white robe, gave Sean a big hug. This time he got into Sean's exclusive car and drove around the city of Tripoli in the middle of a convoy of 200 cars.
Cardano was eloquent along the way, telling Sean what Libya was like in the past and what Libya is like now.
Fully free education and medical care, no one is hungry anymore, pointing to each construction site, loudly telling Sean which are the affordable housing he is building, which are the hospitals, schools, gymnasiums, factories...
In the next few years, under the leadership of the Colonel, the state will implement price subsidies for daily necessities such as food. Most families have cars. The Colonel will build tens of thousands of low-income housing units in Tripoli and Benghazi. Every Libyan citizen who starts a family can
Apply to the government for housing and get it at a very low or even nominal price.
Libya is the richest country in Africa except South Africa. Well...after Mandela, the black light, it is the richest country in Africa.
Don’t ask what happened to South Africa after Mandela’s victory…it’s freedom to ask!
Decades later, the Libyan people finally saw the true face of Colonel Kadzo and stood up against Kadzo. Finally, with the help of the free world, they overthrew the brutal rule of Kadzo and successfully brought their living standards back to the pre-liberation era of poverty, war, and hunger overnight.
…
In 2013, the unemployment rate in Libya after the war was as high as 40%. Even under this situation, young people in Libya were unwilling to do manual labor. The people doing manual labor here were foreign workers from Thailand, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Egypt, and Sudan.
, Niger, Chad, Pakistan and other countries.
Libya is very free now!
Xiao En was in a daze as he listened to Ka Dazuo's tirade.
Tripoli seems to be a picture where Cardano can use his imagination to express his lofty ambitions.
We walked around the city to the outside of the city and arrived at the famous "Azizia" military camp in Cardano.
The reason why we must visit his military camp before visiting the Eighth Wonder is because Colonel Cardano, who was blackmailed by Sean using a warship yesterday, was very unconvinced.
Although he admitted that Sean's missile destroyer fleet was terrifying and the ballistic missile formation was also very deterrent, he did not feel that his army was inferior!
Outside Tripoli, Kadzo deployed an anti-aircraft missile division.
In 1973, Libya still had close relations with the Europeans. France sold 9 companies of "Sidewinder" air defense missile systems to Libya for airport defense.
After falling out with Western society, the colonel purchased a large amount of equipment from SL to build a Soviet-style air defense system, including 39 sets of S-75 Sam-2 air defense missiles, 36 sets of Sam-3 air defense missiles, and 7 sets of "Square" self-propelled missiles.
Anti-aircraft missiles.
Later, 2 brigades and 4 battalions of S-200VE long-range anti-aircraft missile regiments and 1 SA-8 anti-aircraft missile regiment were supplemented.
The Army also received 144 SA-9 anti-aircraft missile system tanks and SA-13 anti-aircraft missile system tanks from the Soviet Union, as well as a large number of 14.5, 23, 30, and 57 mm anti-aircraft guns, including ZSU-23-4
, as well as SA-7, SA-14, and SA-16 portable air defense missiles.
Currently, these units and units are organized into a total of 18 air defense missile brigades, including 9 S-75M3 and S-125M mixed brigades, 7 "Square" brigades, 1 "Wasp-AK" brigade, and 1 S-200VE brigade.
