Happy Tycoon

As Kevin Martin and Karl Morris said during lunch, the old city of Gudamis is indeed a miracle created by God.

The area of ​​this ancient city is not large, with a radius of about 1.5 kilometers. The entire old city is located on an oasis.

Although the city is not big, the number of coconut trees and banana trees in the city is astonishing. Except for an area in the center of the ancient city, 80% of the other places are covered by tall coconut trees.

This is not another tree, this is a coconut tree!

Many people may have the impression that coconut trees can only grow in tropical or subtropical coastal areas. In fact, this is also the case. This evergreen palm plant likes places with high temperature and abundant water. However, so many coconut trees can be seen in the Sahara Desert. If this is not a miracle created by God, what is it?

This oasis is an extremely important source of water even if you look at the entire Sahara Desert. According to archaeologists, people lived here as early as the fourth century BC. In the first century BC, the Roman emperor Augustus During the reign, Roman Governor Lucius Cornelius Barbu invaded the city, making Gudamis appear in history for the first time. During the reign of Severus, due to the important strategic value of Gudamis, Rome The imperial army was permanently stationed here, and it is said that the emperor of the Roman Empire even visited the place himself. However, in the crisis of the Roman Empire in the third century AD, the ancient city was forced to abandon it. In the sixth century, under the rule of the Byzantine Empire, Guda Meas has its own bishop and is one of the central towns of Christianity in the Sahara Desert. But with the advent of Christianity in the seventh century, the local residents quickly converted to Christianity, and it continues to this day. Gudamis It played an extremely important role in the trans-Saharan trade that lasted for thousands of years, was very prosperous at one time, and left a lot of monuments.

Kevin Martin was obviously very familiar with this ancient city. While accompanying Yang Jing to tour the ancient city, he introduced the history of this ancient city to Yang Jing.

Yang Jing asked, Kevin, why are you so familiar with this place?

Hehe, if you have been here for several months, you must be like me. Kevin Martin smiled bitterly, When the civil war broke out in Libya a few years ago, this ancient city was also affected. Fortunately, the buildings in the ancient city did not suffer much damage. I hadn’t joined Karl’s team at that time, I was here on a mission and stayed in this city for a few months.”

A group of people wandered along the narrow roads in the ancient city, without any definite destination, just walking randomly.

Although this place is deep in the Sahara Desert, when walking on the shady streets, it is not so hot and dry, on the contrary, there is a very comfortable feeling. This ancient city has a history of more than 1,500 years. All the houses are connected together, and the gap between two houses becomes a street. These streets extend in all directions, like a spider web, and you get lost if you are not careful.

It's just that the houses here are relatively short, and you have to bend over the door to get in.

A group of people walked to the deep well in the center of the ancient city, found a shaded place and sat down casually. Kevin Martin said these words.

Kevin Martin's words aroused Yang Jing's curiosity, and he couldn't help asking: Were you working for the CIA at that time? Or were you working for a powerful organization? As soon as the words came out, Yang Jing immediately realized Something is wrong. Each of these mercenaries has some unspeakable secrets. It is very impolite and dangerous to inquire about their past.

Saury, Kevin, I shouldn't be asking you these things.

Kevin Martin shook his head, Boss, it's all in the past, there's nothing to hide. Boss, have you seen this well? This is a very important water source in the old city of Gudamis. The water pumped from this well passes through a special water channel and passes through every household for drinking. So this well is like a center in the entire old city of Gudamis. Haha, in fact, I used to be One such intelligence hub working in the United States is the CIA.

I was selected into the CIA directly from the army. Because I spent four years in the Iraqi battlefield and had extensive desert combat experience, I was selected by the CIA. I was directly retired and joined there. Sorry, There are some things I can't say much, what I can only tell you is that after I joined the CIA, I became a field agent permanently stationed in Libya.

Carl Morris on the side said angrily: Kevin, it's already this time, are you still keeping secrets from those bureaucrats? Come on, have you forgotten how you were abandoned by those cold-blooded guys? If it wasn't us, you might have died here.

Hearing this, Yang Jing's eyes suddenly showed a strong fire of gossip. I have only seen those almost omnipotent American agents in movies before, but they are all artistic exaggerations and have no basis at all. Now, the strong man sitting next to him is a former CIA agent, how could Yang Jing not gossip?

Kevin Martin shook his head with a wry smile, Well, in fact, there is nothing to hide now. After I joined the CIA, I have been stationed in Tripoli. Needless to say, you all know the work I do. It is nothing more than Provoking this and contacting that, anyway, it makes Gaddafi feel bad. At the beginning of 2011, Libya got his wish and a civil war broke out. Gaddafi’s 42-year rule of Libya finally came to an end in that year. .”

However, I got a message in Tripoli that some of Gaddafi's treasures were hidden near Gudamis by his cronies. The news was specious, but my superiors still ordered me to come to Gudamischa Check the authenticity of this news.

Gaddafi's treasure? Upon hearing this, Yang Jing became interested.

Gaddafi ruled Libya for as many as forty-two years. During his dictatorship, Libya's economic lifeline was basically controlled by Gaddafi and his children, and the entire family was wealthy. According to estimates, since Gaddafi became the leader of Libya, Libya's oil and natural gas revenues have exceeded hundreds of billions of dollars, and about half of them have entered Gaddafi's pockets. An African financier once said, When Gaddafi was a leader, he never knew the difference between the country's money and his own money.

In addition to turning Libyan state property into his own private property, Zafi also invested a lot overseas. Gaddafi owns 7.6% of UniCredit Bank, 2% of Italian companies, and Juventus Football Club of Italy. A 7.5% stake in the club, a 3.27% stake in British publishing giant Pearson, a small stake in Russian aluminum giant Rusal and many, many more.

In addition to the shares of some foreign companies, Gaddafi also bought a lot of real estate. For example, in the center of London, where land is very expensive, Gaddafi owns many real estate shops and office buildings; Mansions, yes, not seventy acres, not seventy acres, but a full seventy square kilometers! In addition, Gaddafi also has a mansion with an area of ​​more than 10,000 square feet in New Jersey; 12 kilometers west of Tripoli, the capital of Libya, he also owns a private resort city with diving centers, tennis courts, and swimming pools , a football field, a restaurant and a hospital, each of Gaddafi's children has an independent villa, some of which have a gymnasium and a swimming pool, and a row of motorboats tied to the seaside, which is extremely luxurious.

According to expert estimates, the wealth of the Gaddafi family exceeds 200 billion U.S. dollars, which is absolutely incomparable.

However, after the outbreak of the civil war in Libya, Gaddafi and his son died quickly one after another. Gaddafi’s huge funds stored in major foreign banks were quickly frozen, including 37 billion U.S. dollars in the United States, 12 billion pounds in the United Kingdom, and 7.3 billion pounds in Germany. Euros, Italy’s 6 billion euros, the Netherlands’ 3 billion euros, Canada’s 2.4 billion U.S. dollars, Austria’s 1.7 billion U.S. dollars, Sweden’s 1.6 billion U.S. dollars, France’s 1 billion U.S. dollars, and Switzerland’s 900 million U.S. dollars. The funds frozen by banks in various countries alone are as high as 80 billion U.S. dollars , and in the treasury of the Libyan Central Bank controlled by Gaddafi during his lifetime, there are as many as 144 tons of gold!

But these are not all of Gaddafi's property. These only occupy about half of Gaddafi's assets, and the whereabouts of half of the tissues are unknown.

This part of the huge property whose whereabouts are unknown is known as Gaddafi's treasure.

It's just that no one has found this treasure with an estimated value of 100 billion U.S. dollars.

Although in this huge treasure, assets close to 40 billion U.S. dollars are controlled by Bashir Saleh, the former head of Gaddafi's office known as Gaddafi's banker, but this guy Even though he was on the most wanted list of Interpol early on, no one has been able to find this guy who is hidden in the African continent until now.

But even if Bashir Khlisa controlled the property left by Gaddafi as high as 40 billion US dollars, there are still at least 60 billion US dollars of property missing. Many people estimate that these properties should be hidden somewhere in the country by Gaddafi.

And the news about Gaddafi's treasure that Kevin Martin got is very likely to be true.

Seeing Yang Jing's extremely interested expression, Carl Morris on the side smiled and said, Boss, just listen to it as a joke. If Kevin really knows where Gaddafi's treasure is hidden, Is he still here to work for you now? That’s a treasure worth tens of billions of dollars. Even if it’s only one percent of it, it’s enough to make Kevin a real billionaire.”

After a pause, Morris continued: It was because of this news that Kevin was trapped here for several months and almost died here. Even his superiors abandoned him in desperation. If it weren't for this guy who was in the The CIA helped me a lot, so I didn't bother to save him!
