    "What was the result of the discussion between Garcia and you?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "He told me that they still have some heavy equipment on hand. They hid it during the later stages of the war. They can use it if necessary." Khamis whispered.

    Lin Rui pondered, "This is a good thing. But to be honest, the role of these equipment is quite limited. Once you are ready to attack Sirte, you must not go to war. It is best to use a small-scale coup to complete the smoothing of power."  Transition. Don't even think about using heavy artillery and armor. Firstly, the momentum will be too great; secondly, it will easily give people the impression of being too strong. It will make others wary of you."

    "Yes, that's what I think." Khamis nodded and said, "Actually, sometimes, iron-fisted measures are better than spending a little money. Now, I still have part of the funds left in my hand. This was only during the war,  With a small portion of the reserve funds we have prepared, if I can get funds from several other secret accounts, things will become much easier. At least when it comes to bribing local armed tribes, it will be effortless."

    After the death of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, Libya ushered in an era of turmoil.  As a controversial figure, Gaddafi and his family control the entire country's profiteering industries, and the wealth they have accumulated is naturally unparalleled.  According to incomplete statistics, its total assets at home and abroad are as high as 200 billion US dollars.  But most of this wealth was not recovered after Gaddafi's death

    Since Libya entered the Gaddafi era in 1969, its oil and gas exports once reached hundreds of billions of dollars, at least half of which fell into the pockets of the Gaddafi family.  Any private enterprise that may threaten the interests of the Gaddafi family will be cannibalized or annexed once discovered.  The Gaddafi family will forcibly nationalize the company on the grounds of "for the benefit of Libya", which will eventually become a tool for the Gaddafi family to make money.

    In addition, using state-owned funds to invest overseas and make huge profits is also one of the methods used by the Gaddafi family to make money. They invest in a wide range of industries, including media, banks, film and television, football, automobiles, communications, aviation, etc., and own many  equity interests in overseas companies.

    After the war in Libya began, in order to limit Gaddafi's war potential, major countries froze the Gaddafi family's funds. The United States froze 37 billion U.S. dollars, the United Kingdom 2 billion pounds, Germany 7.3 billion euros, and Italy froze  6 billion euros were frozen, the Netherlands froze 3 billion euros, and Canada froze 2.4 billion U.S. dollars

    "The Los Angeles Times" reported in 2011 that according to some sources in Libya, the total value of Gaddafi's overseas secret assets may exceed US$80 billion!  Because the relevant assets must first be found, secondly it must be proven that these assets are owned by Gaddafi, and thirdly it must be proven that they are Gaddafi¡¯s illegal gains, and this process is very difficult, costly, and time-consuming to recover.  The hope is almost zero.

    Lin Rui looked at Hamis and said, "I have heard some rumors. You are truly as rich as any other country."

    "No, no, no, my friend is not as rich as any country. Our wealth in our heyday is not even comparable to that of other countries." Khamis sighed, "Unfortunately, war is always a money-burning business. I have  The funds currently available may not be enough."

    "Then what are you prepared for? I have to remind you that our services are also charged, and the price is much higher than that of ordinary mercenaries." Lin Rui frowned.

    "Of course, your services are worth the money." Khamis nodded, "But it is a fact that I need money. I have a task for you, and I know where to get the money. Specifically,  I know who has this money. I need your help to find it."

    "Our previous contract only provided you with protection." Lin Rui frowned.

    "Mr. Silver Wolf and I have modified the contract yesterday. I plan to extend your employment time until I complete the occupation of Sirte." Khamis whispered.

    "Yinlang didn't tell me?" Lin Rui frowned.

    Khamis nodded, "I asked him not to tell you, because I wanted to see your expression when you were surprised. Well, I have to admit, you are the kind of tough guy who is not easily moved."

    "I will verify this with Silver Wolf, so tell me how you plan to find the money. I am not interested in other tasks, but I am somewhat interested in the task of finding the money." Lin Rui nodded.

    Khamis nodded, "In addition to owning a large amount of property in Libya, my father also invested heavily overseas. He owned 7.6% of the shares of UniCredit Bank of Italy, 2% of the shares of Italian companies, and Juventus of Italy.  A 7.5% stake in the football club, a 3.27% stake in the British publishing giant Pearson, a small stake in the Russian aluminum giant Rusal and many, many more.

      During the war, the family wealth was prepared to be divided into dozens of secret accounts to be used for wartime stalemate or even restart funds after failure.  Most of them have been frozen, and a small number are still in use.  But some assets have recently evaporated from Belgian banks.

    In accordance with United Nations Security Council resolutions, my father Gaddafi¡¯s assets were frozen in 2011. At that time, he had deposits of more than 14 billion euros in BNP Paribas Fortis, ING, Union Bank of Belgium, and the European Bank for Settlements.  Since the United Nations Security Council resolution did not affect accrued interest, this deposit has increased by 5 billion euros in eight years. Just recently, this interest income was withdrawn by unknown persons.  "

    "Do you know who did it?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "I know, this little money was nothing in the past. But now, this is simply stealing our family's last hope. I know who can touch that money, and I know that this person also has other things in his hands.  Some accounts, some are even available accounts that have not been discovered and frozen. Because this guy is very cunning. Before freezing, he transferred a large part of it in the form of cash bonds, and now he wants to take advantage of the principal and interest.

    This man¡¯s name is Pat, who used to be my brother Mutaxin¡¯s personal accountant.  Find this person and we will find the money.  Including the currently available accounts and all the assets he had previously stolen from the frozen accounts.  "Hamis whispered.

    "Okay, I only have two questions. How much money does he have, and where is he hiding?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "This guy is a financial expert hired by my brother. He is shrewd and good at making money. But he obviously has no loyalty at all. If I find him, I estimate that the funds in his hands will be enough for me to launch the next war in Libya."  Yes. That is if I am still willing to do this." Khamis said slowly.
