As Kevin Martin and Carl Morris said at lunch, the old city of gudamis is indeed a miracle created by God.
The area of the ancient city is not large, that is, about 1.5 kilometers. The whole old city is located on an oasis.
Although the city is small, there are surprisingly many coconut and banana trees in the city. Except for an area in the center of the ancient city, 80% of the other places are covered by tall coconut trees.
This is no other 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 evergreen palm plant likes places with high temperature and abundant water. But it happened that so many coconut trees could be seen in the Sahara desert. This is not a miracle created by God. What is it?
"Even if you look at the whole Sahara desert, this oasis is an extremely important water source. According to archaeologists, people lived here as early as the fourth century BC. In the first century BC, under the rule of the Roman Emperor Augustus, the Roman governor Lucius Cornelius barbu invaded the city, making ancient damis appear in historical records for the first time. Severus During the reign of the Roman emperor, due to the important strategic value of ancient damis, the Roman Empire permanently stationed troops here. It is said that the emperor of the Roman Empire even visited the place in person. However, in the crisis of the Roman Empire in the third century, the ancient city was forced to give up. In the sixth century, under the rule of the Byzantine Empire, ancient damis had his own bishop and was a Christian in the Sahara desert One of the central towns. However, with the arrival of * * * in the seventh century, local residents soon converted to * * * religion and continue to this day. Gudamis played an extremely important role in the trans Saharan trade that lasted for thousands of years, once very prosperous and left a large number of historic sites. "
Kevin Martin was obviously very familiar with the ancient city. While accompanying Yang Jing to visit the ancient city, he introduced the history of the ancient city to Yang Jing.
Yang Jing asked, "Kevin, why are you so familiar here?"
"Hehe, if you stay 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, the ancient city was also affected. Fortunately, the buildings in the ancient city did not suffer as much damage. I had not joined Carl's team at that time. I was on a mission here and stayed in the city for several months."
A group of people walked along the narrow road in the ancient city. They had no exact destination, but walked around at will.
Although it is deep in the Sahara desert, when walking up the shady streets, it is not very dry and hot. On the contrary, it has a very comfortable feeling. The ancient city has a history of more than 1500 years. All houses are connected together, and the gap between the two houses becomes streets. These streets extend in all directions, like spider webs Be careful and lose your way.
But the houses here are relatively low, and the doors have to bend down to get in.
The party went to the deep well in the middle of the ancient city, found a shady place and sat down at will. Kevin Martin said this.
Kevin Martin's words aroused some curiosity of Yang Jing. He couldn't help asking, "were you working for the CIA or for a powerful organization?" As soon as he said this, Yang Jing immediately realized that there was something wrong. Each of these mercenaries had some unspeakable secrets. It was impolite and dangerous to rashly inquire about their past.
"Saury, Kevin, I shouldn't have asked you these things."
Kevin Martin shook his head, "Boss, it's all about the past. There's nothing to hide. Boss, have you seen this well? It's a very important water source in the old city of gudamis. The water pumped from this well passes through special waterways and through each household for their drinking. So this well is like a hub in the old city of gudamis. Ha ha, actually I am Previously, I worked in such an intelligence center in the United States, the CIA. "
"I was directly elected to the CIA from the army. Because I spent four years in Iraq and had rich desert combat experience, I was attracted by the CIA. I directly retired and joined there. Sorry, I can't say more. What I can only tell you is that after I joined the CIA, I became a field staff stationed in Libya."
Carl Morris said unhappily: "Kevin, it's time. Do you still keep secrets for those bureaucrats? Come on, have you forgotten how you were abandoned by those cold-blooded guys? If it weren't for us, you might have died here."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jing's eyes suddenly showed a strong fire of gossip. Before, he had only seen those American agents who were almost omnipotent in the film, but they were artistic exaggeration and had no basis at all. Now, the strong man sitting next to him is a former CIA agent. How can Yang Jing not gossip?
Kevin Martin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Well, in fact, there's nothing to hide now. Since I joined the CIA, I've been resident in Tripoli. Needless to say, I'm engaged in work. It's nothing more than provoking this and contacting that. Anyway, it's hard for Gaddafi. In early 2011, Libya really broke out a civil war, and Gaddafi's love for Libya The reign of was finally completely ended 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 ordered me to come to gudamis to find out the authenticity of the news."
"Gaddafi's treasure?" upon hearing this, Yang Jing was also interested.
Gaddafi ruled Libya for as long as 42 years. During his dictatorship, Libya's economic lifeline was basically controlled by Gaddafi and his children, and the whole family was rich and invincible. It is estimated that since Gaddafi became the leader of Libya, the total revenue of Libyan oil and gas has exceeded hundreds of billions of dollars, about half of which has gone into Gaddafi's pocket. An African financier once said that Gaddafi never knew the difference between his country's money and his own money when he was the leader.
In addition to turning Libyan state property into his own private property, zafi also invested heavily overseas. Gaddafi owns 7.6% of the shares of UniCredit Bank of Italy, 2% of the shares of Italian companies, 7.5% of the shares of Italian Juventus football club, 3.27% of the shares of British publishing giant Pearson group Rusal, a Russian Aluminum giant, has a small stake... There are many, many more.
In addition to the shares of some foreign companies, Gaddafi also purchased a large number of real estate. For example, Gaddafi owned many real estate shops and office buildings in the center of London; He used a mansion with an area of 70 square kilometers in Spain. Yes, it's not 70 acres or 70 acres. It's a full 70 square kilometers! In addition, Gaddafi also has a luxury house with an area of more than 10000 square feet in New Jersey; Twelve kilometers west of the Libyan capital Tripoli, he also has a private resort city with a diving center, tennis court, swimming pool, football field, restaurant and hospital. Each of Gaddafi's children has an independent villa. Some villas have a fitness center and swimming pool, and a row of motorboats are tied to the sea, which can be regarded as extremely luxurious.
According to expert estimates, the Gaddafi family has a wealth of more than 200 billion US dollars, which is absolutely invincible.
However, after the outbreak of the civil war in Libya, Gaddafi and his son died quickly. The huge funds that Gaddafi had in major foreign banks were quickly frozen, including US $37 billion, UK £ 12 billion, Germany € 7.3 billion, Italy € 6 billion, the Netherlands € 3 billion, Canada $2.4 billion, Austria $1.7 billion and Sweden $1.6 billion, France's $1 billion, Switzerland's $900 million... The funds frozen by national banks alone are as high as $80 billion, while there are up to 144 tons of gold in the Treasury of the Libyan central bank controlled by Gaddafi!
But these are not Gaddafi's property. They only occupy about half of Gaddafi's assets, and half of the paper towels are missing.
This part of the huge property unaccounted for is known as "Gaddafi's treasure".
But no one has found this treasure valued at $100 billion.
Although in this huge treasure, nearly $40 billion of assets are controlled by Bashir Saleh, the former head of Gaddafi's office, known as "Gaddafi's banker", this guy is haunted. Even if he was on the wanted list of Interpol early, no one can find the guy of "Shenyin" on the African continent until now.
But even if Bashir helisa controls the $40 billion left by Gaddafi, at least $60 billion remains unaccounted for. Many people estimate that these properties should be hidden by Gaddafi in some parts of the country.
The news that Kevin Martin got about Gaddafi's treasure is likely to be true.
Seeing Yang Jing's expression of great interest, Carl Morris smiled and said: "Boss, listen to it as a joke. If Kevin really knows where Gaddafi's treasure is, will he still work for you here? It's a treasure of tens of billions of dollars. Even one percent of it is enough to make Kevin a real billionaire."
After a pause, Morris continued: "Kevin was trapped here for several months because of this news and almost died here. Even his superiors abandoned him in desperation. If this guy hadn't helped me a lot when he was in the CIA, I wouldn't bother to save him!"
