Chapter 1775 Colonel Ka is a madman (first update, please subscribe)
Libya, Tripoli.

Aziziya Barracks.

Although the coup had already been achieved in the conference room, sunlight poured in through the gaps between the curtains, and the yellow light cut through the darkness in the room.

Gaddafi sat in a large leather armchair, wearing a khaki military uniform. The rank of colonel on his shoulders was particularly eye-catching.

After all, the colonel was not worthy of his current youth.

In fact, he gave himself the title of colonel after the successful coup - now he is the chairman of the Libyan Movement Steering Committee and commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and has been promoted to colonel.

Although the colonel is worthy of his status, he is a little too young.

His eyes were sharp and confident, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with the arrogance and unruliness unique to young officers.

Ambassador Palmer, who was sitting opposite him, carefully looked at the 27-year-old young man in front of him, secretly evaluating his character. He was a little surprised by Gaddafi's youth and confidence.

Of course, what is even more surprising is that as a lieutenant, he could actually plan and implement this military coup and successfully seize power. This is really too incredible.

After all, usually everyone thinks that the coup was launched by the generals. As for a small figure like Zhongwei, he is at most a participant in the coup.

But the 27-year-old young man in front of him happened to be the organizer of this military coup.

It is precisely because of this legendary character that Gaddafi has become the darling of Western media since the coup. After all, the public always likes such legendary figures.

Since he made his identity public, whenever he appears in public, he always attracts reporters from all over the world, and journalists always point their cameras at this legendary young man.

The media regarded him as a legend, and of course Ambassador Palmer, as a diplomat, also regarded him as a legend.

This young man once studied in the UK, so he is definitely pro-Western.

Ambassador Palmer's mentality even influenced Washington and affected its judgment.

Ambassador Palmer quickly adjusted his mood and said:
"Colonel, on behalf of the U.S. government, I want to convey our attitude to you - the United States does not oppose the regime change in Libya under your leadership. We believe that this coup is beneficial to the stability and development of Libya."

Hearing this, Gaddafi was extremely proud, but his face remained calm. He nodded slightly, with a hint of humility in his tone:
"I am grateful for the understanding and support of the United States. Libya's future requires cooperation and help from the international community, including cooperation with the United States, and it also needs help from the United States."

When saying this, Gaddafi's attitude seemed very sincere, but in fact he was full of complaints against the United States.

Or maybe he didn't feel any interest at all, but he certainly tried to befriend the other side. After all, the United States has a military base in Libya.

Even if we want to drive them out in the future, that is a matter for the future.

Palmer continued:
"We hope to continue to maintain the friendship between our two countries, especially cooperation in the military and economic fields. We hope that the U.S. bases and other interests in Libya will be protected by you."

Gaddafi smiled, with an ambiguous tone:

"I have great respect for the United States. The United States helped Libya drive out the Italians during World War II, and we are very grateful for that."

When he said this, he sneered in his heart:
"It's true that you drove the Italians away, but after you drove them away, you stayed here again. You want to become new colonists again! Soon, you will be driven away by us just like the Italians."

Palmer did not perceive Gaddafi's true thoughts, but thought that he was expressing his approval of the United States. He was relieved. It was his first time meeting Gaddafi, and he felt that he was a person who was easy to communicate with, or at least a person with whom he could communicate, which also meant that they could reach a consensus on many issues.

However, because it was the first contact, Ambassador Palmer did not continue the conversation. Instead, after briefly discussing some other issues, he began to convey the message that Washington asked him to convey.

He continued:
“In addition, we hope that your country will not pursue a policy of oil nationalization. SEA’s investment in oil fields in Libya involves the interests of many people, and if their interests are damaged, tough measures may be taken.”

Gaddafi frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone:
“Those oil fields are Libya’s oil fields and the Libyan people have the right to them. The SEA has robbed us of our resources through unfair contracts and this is unacceptable. We must return the oil fields to the Libyan people.

This is a matter of principle, and we will not make any concessions on matters of principle."

Palmer's face turned serious, and his tone was filled with warning:

“Colonel Gaddafi, I understand your position, but you have to face reality. The SEA will never allow anyone to harm their interests. If your country forcibly implements oil nationalization, it may lead to serious consequences.”

Faced with such a warning, Gaddafi was furious. He felt that his dignity was challenged, as if Palmer was implying that he was just an insignificant person who could not compete with SEA.

This was no longer a challenge, but a humiliation. Feeling humiliated, Gaddafi gripped the edge of the armchair tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He just stared at the American master in front of him, and then his voice became cold and hard:

“The reality? The reality is that the Libyan people have had enough of being exploited and oppressed.

We have the right to decide our own destiny, not to let foreign forces dictate it!"

Even so, he felt that he was too polite, and then Gaddafi said in an extremely tough tone. "We will never accept any threats, nor will we compromise with any threats. Please tell those guys that Libya's oil belongs to the Libyan people.

They have to face this reality!"

At this moment, an officer hurried into the conference room and reported nervously:
"Colonel, I just received news that SEA announced that it would accept Idris to their country for treatment."

The sudden news made Gaddafi completely stunned. In the past few days, the deposed King Idris had been staying in Iraq. As we all know, Iraq is controlled and supported by the SEA. His arrival in Iraq was basically equivalent to receiving asylum there.

Although he claimed that he needed to go to SEAs for treatment due to health reasons, everyone knew that it was definitely not just a treatment.

Once he arrives in Chang'an, he will definitely try every means to win their support.

It is for this reason that Gaddafi has repeatedly issued warnings, warning them not to accept the SEAs for a king who has passed his prime.

But now SEA's decision is basically equivalent to treating his warning as fart and ignoring it completely.

For the young and successful Gaddafi, such a response was undoubtedly a humiliation.

Gaddafi's face instantly turned livid. He stood up suddenly, with a flash of anger and disdain in his eyes:

“This is evidence that Idris is colluding with foreigners as a spokesperson for Western countries! Do they think this can shake our resolve?
Do they think that by colluding with that Idris they can stop us from nationalizing our oil and taking back our oil fields? They are simply wishful thinking!"

He turned to the officer and ordered:

"Enter our oil fields immediately and take back the oil that belongs to Libya! Drive all those yellow monkeys out."

Palmer was stunned by this sudden change. He did not expect Gaddafi's reaction to be so intense, and he did not expect him to make a decision so quickly.

According to Washington's plan, the goal was to prevent Gaddafi from nationalizing oil, thereby avoiding a conflict between them and the SEA, but who could have imagined that such an accident would happen?

Now how to do?
He thought of a countermeasure quickly in his mind, but he couldn't find the right words for a moment. He could only reluctantly say:

"Colonel, please think calmly. Such a decision may lead to unforeseen consequences."

As expected, you imperialists are all standing together. You came here today to help SEA!
Almost subconsciously, Gaddafi made a judgment that the United States had colluded with SEAs.

Gaddafi sneered, with an almost arrogant confidence in his eyes:

"Consequences? We are not afraid of any consequences. The Libyan people have overthrown the king who is the spokesperson of Western countries. No one can oppress us anymore! We will not allow any country to plunder our wealth.

Libya’s oil fields belong to the Libyans.”

Palmer, who originally thought that Gaddafi was very easy to deal with, was now filled with helplessness and anxiety.

He didn't expect this guy to be so stubborn.

Doesn't he know how powerful SEA is?

A good warrior may not have great military achievements!
Obviously, Gaddafi and others don’t know that there is a price to pay for offending SEA, or in other words, they don’t know that SEA is the last traditional imperialist in the world.

Faced with the reality that their interests are damaged, they will really take action.

Not even the Russians can stop them!
Even the Russians had to retreat when facing SEA, but now this guy in front of him is actually taking the initiative to challenge him!
"Colonel, I understand your anger, but I think you should consider the reality. The reality is..."

Before Ambassador Palmer could finish his words, Gaddafi interrupted him and asked angrily:
“You mean to say that the reality is that Libya cannot fight against SEA, so we must sacrifice Libya’s interests and please them?”

Faced with the questioning, Palmer even wanted to say - How can you be so ungrateful?
Don't you know that I am on your side now?
Obviously, the furious Gaddafi did not realize this at all. In his mind, the United States, SEA and other Western countries were all the same, so all his persuasions were in vain.

The young man in front of them was no longer someone they could easily control. His arrogance and self-confidence might push Libya into a dangerous situation. But he also understood that any more persuasion would be in vain at this moment.

"Mr. Ambassador, please remember what I said - although Libya is a small country, we have our dignity and honor. Any country that attempts to undermine our dignity and honor will pay the price! Today's Libya is no longer the Libya of yesterday!"

The air in the conference room seemed to freeze, with only Gaddafi's voice echoing.

At this moment, Gaddafi, who made this passionate statement, was filled with a sense of victory, as if he had seen that under his leadership, Libya would break free from the control of all foreign forces and become a truly independent country.

Palmer stood up silently and sighed inwardly.

He knew that this was just the beginning, and the future situation might be far beyond their expectations.
