250: Chapter 350 You are willing to provide us with weapons and equipment

Colonel Beka of the Libyan National Army was very surprised by the changes in the situation on the Israel battlefield. He also constantly monitored the military situation on the Israel battlefield and had some understanding of the entire battlefield.

The Israel military was once known as the "Little Overlord of the Persian Gulf region," so its combat effectiveness would naturally not be weak. However, unexpectedly, in such a short time, the Israel military had already been compressed to the point where it could only hold five cities.

Since when did the countries in the Persian Gulf region possess such powerful combat effectiveness? Colonel Beka could not figure it out.

After collecting intelligence from various sources, he discovered that the Anti-Judea Coalition was equipped with many Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles, Fierce Rhino series Tanks, Fierce Tiger series Armored Vehicles, Fierce Lion series Artillery, and Tianlong Series UAVs, among others—weapons and equipment that the Libyan National Army had also purchased some of.

Could it be that an arms dealer had sold a large amount of weapons and equipment to the Anti-Judea Coalition? Colonel Beka quickly confirmed this suspicion.

After all, only an arms dealer could sell such a large quantity of weapons and equipment, whereas the USA and European countries would never sell so much weaponry and ammunition to the Anti-Judea Coalition.

As a country strongly supported by the USA and European countries, Israel would not sell large-scale weapons and equipment to its opponents during wartime.

Colonel Beka was very envious that the Anti-Judea Coalition could obtain so many weapons and equipment. If the Libyan National Army possessed that many weapons and equipment, they could have long since driven out the various Opposition Armed Forces and foreign intervention forces in Libya.

However, the problem facing Colonel Beka was that the amount of oil and natural gas possessed by the Libyan National Army was still too small, making it impossible to pay enough funds to procure various anti-aircraft missiles, armored vehicles, and drones.

Colonel Beka took stock of the oil and natural gas newly produced in the territory controlled by the Libyan National Army during this period and decided to procure another batch of weapons and ammunition from the arms dealer to increase the strength of the Libyan National Army.

Li Yi received a call from Colonel Beka. Li Yi found it somewhat strange that Colonel Beka was contacting him. After all, it had been a while since Colonel Beka last purchased a batch of weapons and ammunition and contacted him.

"Colonel Beka, is there something you need by contacting me?" Li Yi asked.

Colonel Beka said, "We plan to procure a new batch of weapons and equipment. I wonder if you are still selling them?"

Hearing that business had come knocking, Li Yi quickly said, "We are still selling large quantities of various weapons and ammunition. What scale of weapons and equipment are you looking to procure?"

Colonel Beka pondered for a moment and said, "It will be much larger in scale than the last procurement. Are you still choosing to hold the procurement negotiations in Beirut?"

Li Yi said, "Beirut is not very safe right now. Let's change it to the Maldives. You can come to the Maldives, right?"

Upon hearing "Maldives," Colonel Beka thought carefully before realizing where it was, and said, "Can we change it to another place? For example, Cairo, or Tunis, or some other city?"

Hearing that Colonel Beka was unwilling to come to the Maldives, Li Yi originally wanted to refuse, but thinking that he had nothing else to do, a trip to North Africa wouldn't be bad.

Cairo was out of the question; it was still a bit too close to Israel. That left only Tunis.

Li Yi said, "We can go to Tunis. Let's set it at the Tunis Marriott Hotel, how about that? You are responsible for booking the hotel." He looked up information on Tunis and decided to hold the negotiations at the Tunis Marriott Hotel.

Hearing that Li Yi agreed to negotiate in Tunis, Colonel Beka naturally had no objections and said, "Good, we will immediately book a presidential suite at the Tunis Marriott Hotel. You can just go directly to the hotel when the time comes."

Since Colonel Beka needed to travel by boat to Tunis, they could only schedule the negotiations for two days later. Li Yi had no problem with this; after all, he was teleporting there via the Multiverse Arms Trading System and didn't need to worry about visas or taking a plane.

When the time came, Li Yi immediately teleported to the outskirts of Tunis via the Multiverse Arms Trading System, then found a taxi and headed straight to the Tunis Marriott Hotel.

When Li Yi arrived, Colonel Beka was waiting in the lobby of the Marriott Hotel. Led by Colonel Beka, they entered the presidential suite without any obstacles.

Colonel Beka thought that Li Yi must be tired from just arriving, so he kindly arranged for Li Yi to rest first. Li Yi was not willing to stay in Tunis for long and said, "Let's start the negotiations immediately. We can talk about other things after we finish."

Colonel Beka and Li Yi immediately moved to the meeting room and sat down. He said, "Our Libyan National Army has prepared 35 million barrels of oil and 100 million cubic meters of natural gas for this procurement of weapons and equipment. We will focus on purchasing Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles and various armored vehicles."

Upon hearing that there were only 35 million barrels of oil and 100 million cubic meters of natural gas in energy resources, Li Yi felt a bit disappointed. This scale was still too small and simply did not meet Li Yi's expectations.

Li Yi asked, "Can't you increase some oil and natural gas resources to use for purchasing weapons and ammunition?"

Colonel Beka said helplessly, "We also want to increase the oil and natural gas resources used for procurement, but as you know, the territory controlled by the Libyan National Army is still too small, and the production capacity we can provide is limited."

Li Yi thought for a moment. Previously, he had wanted to support the Libyan National Army so that after obtaining a large amount of weapons and equipment, they could quickly control the entire country of Libya, and then they would be able to provide a continuous supply of oil and natural gas to pay for the procured weapons and equipment.

It was just that when he first started trading arms with Colonel Beka, he wasn't very familiar with him and was afraid that the Libyan National Army simply wouldn't have the ability to pay for the oil and natural gas required for the procurement.

Considering that the last arms deal completed was relatively smooth, should he support the Libyan National Army? Li Yi fell into deep thought.

Libya's oil and natural gas reserves were still very abundant, with oil reserves reaching 43 billion barrels and natural gas reserves reaching 1.54 trillion cubic meters. Furthermore, iron ore reserves were also relatively abundant, reaching 2–3 billion tons. It was entirely possible to support the Libyan National Army to obtain more oil and natural gas.

After thinking it through, Li Yi said, "Have you ever thought about first obtaining a large batch of weapons and equipment, carrying out a large-scale expansion of the Libyan National Army, and then occupying the entire territory of Libya to seize political power in Libya?"

Upon hearing Li Yi's words, Colonel Beka was a bit surprised and said, "Of course we want to control the political power of Libya, but our strength is currently insufficient. Are you willing to provide us with weapons and equipment?"

Li Yi said, "We are not providing aid, but we can provide weapons and equipment first. Once you have secured more oil and gas fields, you can then pay the outstanding amount for the oil and natural gas."
