Chapter 290 Sublimation
It was difficult to explain to Lucy why what happened to Lin Xianghua happened.

Luca understood because he knew the twists and turns involved, but Lucy, who grew up in a monastery, certainly didn't understand the historical grudges.

"I noticed that you wanted to kill Lin for a moment just now. What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Lucy looked serious, then she whispered, "I can do it for you if you need."

"No, no, it's okay. It's just a small misunderstanding. Lin Xianghua is still a good comrade."

He hurriedly explained the complexity of the matter to Lucy so that she had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Lucy is like a piece of white paper, but unfortunately there is a bottle of spilled ink next to it. The places soaked by the ink are as black as can be, while the places not stained by the ink are still very white.

There is no writing, no gray area, just a piece of paper that is either black or white.

There is still a long way to go to make Lucy a normal person.

There is no normal person in the whole garden. Lucy is a consumable, Luca is a miser, Lin Xianghua is the most hidden one and turns out to be a Japanese, Feng Biao is a flatterer who is also very good at escaping.

After thinking about it, it turns out that only Li Jie and I are normal?

Gao Yi looked at Li Jie. He wanted to say something to encourage Li Jie. As the only two normal people in this small team, they should communicate more and maintain normal outlooks.

But when Gao Yi wanted to say something, he found that Li Jie was a little absent-minded.

Li Jie was deep in thought.

Gao Yi finally said, "Xianyu, what are you thinking about?"

Li Jie raised his head and looked at Gao Yi, then he said seriously: "Don't you think Ah Gui's ideal is particularly challenging? After listening to Ah Gui's words today, I feel that my whole person has been sublimated. As a person, you must always have some ideals. What's the point of doing small things? If you want to do something, do something big."

Gao Yi knew he was wrong.

If you think about it carefully, Li Jie is the most belligerent one.

Yes, warlike, the kind of warlike that enjoys hearing about war.

If there is something to do, do it. If there is nothing to do, find something to do. Don’t do it for money or fame. The main thing is to be happy.

He didn't work hard after graduating from a prestigious university, and didn't make money after becoming a famous gunsmith. It would have been fine if he had risked his life in Aleppo, but he didn't repent even when he was almost buried in Aleppo. He followed Gao Yi and continued to risk his life. He didn't care how much money he made, or whether he would lose his life or not.

Compared to this, everyone else is normal.

Lin Xianghua at least has great ideals, but what does Li Jie have? He is just a warmongerer!

In such a big garden, I'm the only normal person here?

Gao Yi couldn't help but let out a sigh.

It’s better not to talk too much with Li Jie. The topics he talks about are too sensitive. To be safe, it’s better to talk to Khalid.

Gao Yi looked at Khalid, and Khalid immediately said in a tone that said, "Brother, what should we do next?"

Gao Yi frowned.

Yes, Lin Xianghua exposed his hidden identity, but the important thing now is how to deal with the CIA's counterattack.

"Is it safe here?"

Khalid felt a little aggrieved about Gao Yi's question. After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "It was originally very safe. There were absolutely no cameras in this area. If there were any, we destroyed them. Besides, the residents nearby would never betray us. But after the US military helicopter came to deliver something, I can't guarantee it anymore."

Yes, the target that was originally under strict guard now has extremely precise coordinates, and some supplies have been sent over. This will make it much easier to clear it out later.

Gao Yi knew what Khalid was worried about. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. Your only enemy now is the CIA. At least until you formally pose a substantial threat to the United States, the US military will never do anything."

Khalid is now gambling with Gao Yi. Hearing these words, he is of course very happy. After all, the chance of survival is much higher.

"Then it's safe here."

Khalid was full of confidence and whispered, "How many people does the CIA have? What actions they want to take can only rely on the cooperation of the US military and the Libyan National Army. Even if they launch a large-scale search throughout Tripoli, they will not be able to find us."

Gao Yi felt that he needed to understand the situation better, because until now, he didn't know where the Libyan National Army came from.

"Explain to me, what exactly is the Libyan National Army? Is it the name of the Libyan government army?"

"No, the Libyan National Army is the anti-government armed forces that used to oppose Fikaza. They controlled Tripoli and the entire western part of Libya. Of course, the Libyan National Army was supported by the Americans, but now the Americans don't like the Libyan National Army very much. They prefer the Libyan Unity Government, which is another faction. It can be said that it is a faction completely controlled by the United States and mainly controls the eastern part of Libya."

History is a cycle.

Gao Yi nodded and said, "Then the Libyan National Army will not sincerely cooperate with the CIA, right?"

"I'm not sure, but I think so."

Gao Yi was still thinking deeply, but at this time Li Jie, who heard the conversation between the two, suddenly said: "What are you talking about? What we are going to do next is too simple."

Gao Yi and Khalid looked at Li Jie together.

Li Jie is usually not a talkative guy, but after being provoked by Lin Xianghua today, he seems a little different.

"What is the most important thing for an armed organization? The first is people, the second is money, and the third is territory." Glancing at Khalid, Li Jie continued, "In terms of people, you have too few people. Although your people are very loyal, it won't work if you have too few people. If one dies, one less person will die. If you fight a few more battles, all your people will be dead.

In terms of money, if you think five million is a huge sum, it has exposed your nature as a pauper. How can you recruit troops and ensure sustained combat effectiveness without money?

In terms of territory, do you have any territory? You are just a bandit. Scattered strongholds like carpet factories do not count as territory. Exposing them means losing them, so you have no territory.

In addition, as an armed organization, there is a fourth point that encompasses the above three points, which can be said to be the most important or the least important point, which is your supporters. "

Khalid immediately asked: "Supporters?"

"They are the supporters who give you money, people and let you fight for territory. The United States supported the national army, but now it has abandoned the national army to support the Libyan unity government. If you have a country providing support, then of course you will feel different."

Li Jie made a brief analysis, and then he said easily: "So what you need to consider is how to make money, how to attract people, and how to fight for territory. If you ask me, start with solving the source of funds."

Khalid trembled and asked, "How do we solve the problem of funding?"

Li Jie said without hesitation: "I am only responsible for formulating the strategy. You guys should figure out the tactics. I pointed out the direction, but can't I walk the rest of the way?"

Khalid said with a disappointed look on his face: "It turns out you don't know how to do it at all..."

Of course Khalid would be disappointed, because he understood what Li Jie said, but he just had no solution. Now Li Jie was repeating the problem that he couldn't solve, but there was still no solution in the end. What was the point of talking about it?

But at this moment Gao Yi had an idea.

What kind of person is Gao Yi? He is the kind of person who is uneducated but smart.

To explain, due to his limited experience and knowledge, Gao Yi does not have the ability to take a bird's-eye view, that is, to control the overall situation from a high position and make a perfect plan from the beginning. He is really not good at this.

It is impossible to predict problems in advance and you can only solve them when you encounter them. Why does Gao Yi like to rush forward? Because he only knows how to deal with each situation head-on.

But after others gave him a start, a hint and a framework, Gao Yi was able to quickly think of how to improve the framework, turn the direction pointed out by others into a road, and then continue to walk on it, making it wider and smoother. This is Gao Yi's ability.

In short, he is not good at strategy but a master at tactics.

Gao Yi smiled at Khalid.

Khalid had a bad feeling. He frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Gao Yi said calmly: "Can you distinguish between strategy and tactics?"

"what do you mean?"

"Do you understand that we should be unwavering in strategy but flexible in tactics? In other words, in order to achieve strategic goals, we need to turn enemies into friends tactically. Do you understand that?"

Khalid hesitated for a moment. Actually he didn't quite understand, but he nodded.

Gao Yi smiled and said, "Very good, then things will be easy. First, we need to solve the problem of the source of funds. It is better to give you a fishing net so that you can fish every day than to give you a fish to fill your stomach. So, I will give you a net, a net of benefits."

After telling Khalid that it was better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, Gao Yi said seriously, "The first step is to sell arms. The supply will come from France, but the Americans will deliver the goods. You are the buyer. The first phase of funds is 10 million, but we will only buy 3 million of goods, pay 6 million for the goods, and 4 million for shipping."

Khalid's eyes widened. He asked in astonishment, "Why? Why do you do this?"

Before Gao Yi could explain, Li Jie suddenly said, "Gao! If there is no market, then cultivate it. Once a complete supply chain is established, you can definitely expand the market."

Khalid seemed to be listening to a foreign language.

Gao Yi smiled and said, "Don't you understand? It's just about dragging France and the United States into this and supplying a small anti-American armed group. No one will refuse, and there won't be much risk."

Khalid still didn't understand.

Gao Yi continued, "There can't be two tigers on the same mountain. The National Army and the Tuanjie Government will inevitably fight. By then, the Tuanjie Government will have the support of the United States. Will the National Army need weapons? Well, if necessary, we will provide them."

Khalid understood a little bit, so he nodded blankly, but then he asked: "But the National Army doesn't need to buy weapons?"

"Then sell it to others. When you can become the shipping terminal of a profit chain, someone will naturally help you create the market. This is a matter of suppliers, transporters, and retailers working together to occupy the market."

Khalid was stunned for a moment and said, "But there are arms dealers. What should we do if they have already occupied the market?"

"Are we new here?"

“Yes, so it’s difficult.”

"Then knock out the old one."

Gao Yi spread his hands and said, "Everything depends on human effort. If you have money, you can attract people. If you attract enough people, you can occupy territory. One day, you suddenly find that the territory you control is large enough and you have enough people. Then the rest of the things will be easy to handle. Also, arms are just one of them. It's just an example. There are many other profitable businesses to do, such as medicines and electrical appliances."

Khalid was stunned and asked, "Smuggling?"

"Wrong, it's not smuggling, it's official smuggling!"

Gao Yi smiled and said, "The goods are supplied by France and transported by the United States. Who dares to accuse you of smuggling? Don't you want to live?"

Li Jie clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Yes, that's right. Oh, I feel that after being inspired by Ah Gui, my thinking has been opened up a lot, and my vision has also become much bigger."

Gao Yi nodded and said, "It's meaningless to do small things. If you want to do something, do it on a big scale. You need to be bold and have a big vision. This is called sublimation."
