Tripoli, as a city name, has a long history. Tripoli is an ancient city with a long history of more than 2,700 years, and has been a trade center and strategic location since ancient times. Because of this, it was occupied by the ancient Romans for 600 years, and was later invaded by the Vandals and ruled by Byzantium. In the 7th century, Arabs settled here, and from then on, Arab culture took root here.
This ancient city has experienced various disasters. The Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Spanish, Turks, Italians and British successively occupied Tripoli and left many ancient buildings and cultural relics of different styles here. The ancient Arabian Oriental colors blend with the thriving modern urban scene, but this land is still full of tragedy.
After the war in Libya, the city has not yet fully recovered.
It has been several years since the fall of Gaddafi in 2011, and Libya has become a country like Afghanistan and Somalia. Immediately following the fall of Gaddafi, a nationwide internal conflict broke out. Of the total population of 6 million, 400,000 people are internally displaced; more than one million people have fled abroad. Conflicts at many levels - tribal, regional, ethnic, religious, and between supporters and opponents of the old regime - are now superimposed. This is now a country with multiple governments, however, although these hostile entities all have grand titles, Government of National Unity, Government of National Salvation, and so on.
There are no random checkpoints on most streets, and they pop up unannounced in neighboring countries that are more stable than Libya. You can move around Tripoli without much trouble, but militias of various factions are everywhere. They wore fake Barber jackets and U.S. Navy combat pants and carried rifles.
The National Transitional Council, which took power with the support of Western powers, was forced to use the then-plentiful state treasury funds to pay for the militias responsible for counter-insurgency work. The types of salaries they were paid triggered a huge increase in the number of "revolutionaries". Countless people are being held in militia prisons in Libya.
Lawlessness has its benefits¡ªthe absence of repressive institutions¡ªbut these benefits are losing appeal. Tripoli is no longer the capital of an authoritarian state. There is no fear of being spied on by intelligence agents or arbitrarily arrested by the secret police. Instead there's no telling who actually controls the streets on any given day, the constant threat of kidnapping, rumors of impending fights, and the common knowledge that violence can happen at any time.
Even if Lin Rui and others were fully armed, no one would come to ask questions while driving on the street. Although everyone was wary of them, no one dared to ask, even the military police and militiamen just pretended not to see them. They just receive a salary, and no one wants to cause trouble and provoke these people who look like mercenary organizations.
The car stopped in an alley in the city. This was the temporary location designated by the company in advance. Because of the advance arrangements made by the intelligence team Vitak, there was someone here to meet them. The receptionist was a local Libyan. After bringing them in, he left in a wise manner.
Lin Rui looked out of the window and saw that the Libyan did not move away, but was sitting nearby to watch for them. It seems that this person should also be a member of the Vitak Intelligence Group, not a temporary hire.
"What do you think?" Jiang An whispered beside him.
"This place is okay. It's only two kilometers away from the meeting place and you can walk there. And it's located in a hidden place. Vitak really knows how to find a place." Lin Rui came back from the window and sat on a chair.
"I'm talking about your opinion on this mission." Jiang An said with a slight smile.
"Isn't it just about finding that person and solving the troubles the company is facing?" Lin Rui shrugged, "There should be no pressure in this, at least it will be much easier than in Anmore."
Jiang An shook his head and said, "I think this is very weird."
"Oh?" Lin Rui looked at him and said, "What's weird?"
"Very few people would put their thoughts on the head of a private military company." Jiang An said slowly, "This person spent so much money to invade our interior and steal confidential information. Just to blackmail us into killing someone? He has With such great ability, I can do this myself, so why do I have to go in such a big circle?"
"It makes sense." Lin Rui nodded, "This person can steal information from the Black Island and escape from such a well-defended St. Keizer Island. It doesn't seem to be difficult for him to kill someone. There is no need to cheat on us."
"One more thing. All the characteristics displayed by Rhea on St. Keizer Island indicate that this person may be a professionally trained professional agent. But he repeatedly emphasized that this was his personal behavior and did not disclose it.Revealing his true identity is what I care about most. "Jiang'an whispered.
"No matter what, when we find this person and have further contact, everything may have an answer." Lin Rui sighed. "It's better not to think about these headaches now."
"This is your problem. You obviously have a good mind, but you are always too lazy to use it." Maang'an smiled bitterly, "Compared to thinking, you are more willing to practice."
"That's why you are the best think tank in the team, and I just need to use my brain a little bit." Lin Rui also said with a smile. "If I start using my brain, what will you do?"
Jiang An shook his head and then said seriously, "Listen to me, this time is probably more dangerous than when we were in Anmore. In Anmore, we at least know who we are facing and their purpose. But This time, we have no idea who we are facing or his true purpose. Coupled with the complicated situation here, we may encounter unexpected troubles."
Lin Rui was silent for a while and said, "I have always been afraid of trouble, but when trouble really comes to us, escaping is useless. No matter who this person named Rhea is, it has happened. We We can only choose to face it.¡±
"I understand what you mean, but what I mean is that if someone comes with bad intentions, we have to be prepared in various ways." Jiang An whispered.
Lin Rui nodded, "I know the stakes and will be careful. Tomorrow, you will take people to look at the surrounding environment, and then ask people from Vitak to understand the situation and see if Rhea has appeared nearby. If you find this person, monitor him immediately, but don¡¯t alarm him.¡±
