In August 1970, a plane landed at the airport of our capital. In addition to Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat, who was scheduled to visit, there was also an uninvited guest named Jalud.
He was the second-in-command in Libya at the time, and it was Gaddafi who sent him to secretly come to our country to buy atomic bombs. So why did Gaddafi make this decision? What did he plan to do with the atomic bomb when he bought it?
Gaddafi, a military enthusiast with a background in history, transferred to the army with a strong interest in military affairs, and gradually rose in power. On September 1, 1969, he launched the "September Revolution", overthrew the Idris dynasty and established the Libyan Arab Republic, becoming the supreme leader of Libya.
Gaddafi's reviews have been mixed, with Libyan admirers hailing him as the "Arabian Eagle" and the "Desert Lion", while the United States has called him a "mad dog" and a "** person".
Under Muammar Gaddafi's rule, Libya's economy was significantly boosted, and he actively promoted oil extraction and implemented many policies that benefited people's livelihoods, such as free health care, education and water and electricity bills, a series of welfare policies that were the envy of the world.
However, in terms of diplomacy, Gaddafi's attitude is tough and arrogant, and he is the enemy of Western countries led by the United States, and has repeatedly caused disputes, so he is regarded as a thorn in the side of Western countries.
He admires the military very much, and because he came to power by military coup, he did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to buy ** from the Soviet Union and other countries, but due to the growing tension with Western countries, his need for nuclear ** is becoming more and more urgent.
Due to Libya's lack of independent research and development capabilities, and the international regulations clearly stipulate that "non-nuclear countries are not allowed to develop nuclear weapons", he can only seek help from countries with nuclear weapons.
Among the more than 200 countries in the world, there are very few countries with nuclear **, and Gaddafi has tense relations with Western countries such as the United States, so he has set his sights on our country.
In 1970, China successfully developed an atomic bomb and a hydrogen bomb. As it is in a turbulent period, the economic development has been affected and construction funds are urgently needed. Gaddafi sent Colonel Jaloud to China, hoping to buy our country's nuclear ** with money.
Despite the fact that our country has not yet resumed its lawful seat in the United Nations and Libya has not yet established diplomatic relations with our country, Jalud made a secret visit and relayed Gaddafi's wild words. Gaddafi expressed his willingness to spend heavily on nuclear weapons to protect Libya's security and stability, and hoped to help the Arab world salvage the Middle East war.
** Angrily rebuked: "What a reason, Gaddafi is simply arrogant! ”
Gaddafi has "unusual" exchanges with China's Taiwan region, and in order to persuade our leaders to buy atomic bombs, he said that if China is willing, Libya will sever diplomatic relations with Taiwan and establish diplomatic relations.
However, he was outraged by this and rebuked Gaddafi for his hubris. Although *** had some understanding of Gaddafi's ambitions, I did not expect him to show arrogance in front of the Chinese side so directly.
Gaddafi's words exposed his ruffian behavior, believing that he could be lawless if he was rich. Although China is poor, it is so poor that it will never fight for money.
Despite Gaddafi's rhetoric, he knew that if the atomic bomb fell into his hands, the entire Arab world could not be at peace. In addition, Gaddafi also used the issue of exchanges in the Taiwan region as a bargaining chip, which makes it difficult to understand his boldness.
As a result of Gaddafi's wild words, **'s disgust with him reached its extreme, and *** instructed *** not to arrange his own meeting with Jalud. At that time, ** was in good health and full of energy, and he would always meet in person with courtesy for foreign guests from the third world.
However, there was a strong rejection of the meeting with Jalud, which also showed his strong antipathy to Gaddafi's hubris.
**Under the instructions of ***, resolutely oppose the ** atomic bomb to Libya**. This shocked Jalud, who was originally full of confidence, and he could only slip back to Libya.
Gaddafi did not restrain himself, but became more arrogant, and finally ended up dying. ** He once foresaw the end of Gaddafi, believing that "the sky is mad and there is rain, and people are crazy and there are disasters", and Gaddafi's perverse and arrogant character will inevitably lead to tragedy.
Although China later established diplomatic relations with Libya, it never gave it an atomic bomb.
Although Jaloud has an antipathic attitude towards ***, Gaddafi is full of admiration for ***, and he very much agrees with theories such as "all people are soldiers" put forward by ***.
If Gaddafi can correct his arrogant and extreme character, he may be able to alleviate ***'s disgust. But the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change. After failing to ask our country to buy atomic bombs, Gaddafi did not relent, but became more and more unscrupulous.
As an extreme nationalist, he did not take anyone seriously, and even spoke openly at international conferences, openly insulting foreign leaders. His unscrupulous words and deeds have exacerbated his contradictions with the United States, Britain, France, and other countries, and have also met with opposition from the Libyan people.
In 2011, when the Libyan opposition launched a war, Gaddafi fled in panic and was eventually shot dead by the opposition, ending up in a tragic wilderness. For Gaddafi's idea of borrowing ** and war to enhance deterrence, ** and others scoffed, ** research and development is to protect their own land and people, to seek peace and development, not to start an unjust war.
Although during the period of *** administration, Libya once achieved economic prosperity under the leadership of Gaddafi, even close to the level of developed countries. However, Gaddafi's hubris and extreme character led him to ignore the way of development that continued amicable and chose a tragic path.
Eventually, his arrogance and short-sightedness led to self-defeating.
