When it comes to Hannibal, the first impression in many people's minds is that of the calm, intelligent, cruel and cold-blooded murderer Hannibal.
Compared with the classic villain in the film and television drama, the fourth son of the African lion, Hannibal, is definitely not a villain.
Racing cars with the Paris police, beating up Pregnant Women in France in hotels, slapping their own consuls, building luxury cruise ships for 3 billion yuan, etc., are all "proud works" of Hannibal's life.
Compared with the cruelty and coldness that the killer demons can see, sometimes the big people use the power in their hands to make waves, and the fish and meat people may be more frightening.
Son of a famous man
On September 20, 1975, Gaddafi's second wife, Sofia, bore him a boy, Gaddafi's fourth son.
Although the child has just been born, compared with other children, its appearance has been slightly raised.
After meeting the child, Gaddafi lamented that he had a heroic appearance, and then borrowed the name of a North African hero and named him Hannibal Muammar Gaddafi.
You know, Hannibal's name can be described as a household name in the West, not ordinary people dare to use it casually, and the degree of honor of the name is equivalent to naming Li Shimin and Huo Goyi in China.
Hannibal's name has been sung in Africa for more than two thousand years, and the name of the hero has long been rooted in the hearts of African people.
Born in the ancient north African country of Carthage, Hannibal has repeatedly hit Rome with few victories and more victories in history.
He became famous for his outstanding achievements and outstanding strategic thinking, and was revered by later generations as the father of strategy, ranking as one of the four major military commanders in Western history.
Gaddafi named the child after such a figure, and naturally had high enough expectations for this fourth son.
When Hannibal Gaddafi grew up, he really did not fail to live up to Gaddafi's heroic evaluation.
Tall and mighty, he was not only the tallest of his many siblings, but also the best of Gaddafi's many heirs.
However, although he has the appearance of an ancient hero, Hannibal is not a heroic person.
Named Hannibal, he had no interest in military or politics, preferring to appreciate Western art and study Western commerce.
Although Hannibal did not like the military and politics, as gaddafi's son with high hopes, in order to please his father, he still had to follow the path arranged by his father.
In 1999, Hannibal Gaddafi became a qualified graduate of the Libyan Maritime Academy, earning a bachelor's degree and a ship pilot's license.
In the following years, Hannibal studied at the Arab University of Marine Science and Maritime Studies in Egypt and the Copenhagen Business School in Denmark.
After returning home from school, Gaddafi was satisfied with Hannibal's self-improvement.
With a big hand, he directly placed Hannibal on the management committee of Libya's First National Maritime Transport Company, where he served as chief adviser.
You know, this seemingly ordinary company actually controls Libya's oil import and export trade, which is the most important industry under Gaddafi.
According to statistics, before Gaddafi's downfall, Libya exported an average of more than 1.3 million barrels of oil per day, and these oils representing wealth were managed by Libya's first state maritime transport company.
Hannibal is known as the chief consultant, but in fact he is the manager and decision-maker of the company.
As the saying goes, fat meat is over the palm of the oil, and it is conceivable how much personal gain Hannibal, as the actual manager of the company, can make from it.
By handing over to Hannibal the property that was the lifeblood of Libya's economy, one can imagine how important this son was in Gaddafi's mind.
Although Gaddafi had great expectations for his son, Hannibal did not follow the path that his father expected.
Instead of achieving the path of heroism, he went farther and farther down the path of his clumsy children.
After taking control of the lifeblood of the country's economy, Hannibal developed the shipbuilding industry by relying on the huge wealth brought by oil.
Although the ship industry seems to be booming, and even gave Hannibal the title of Libyan ship king, it did not allow Libya to gain much practical benefit.
What really makes Hannibal, the king of ships, famous all over the world is a cruise ship he spent 300 million pounds, equivalent to 3 billion yuan.
voluptuous
In 2010, Hannibal wrote a blank check to a shipyard and asked him to fill in the amount without worrying about the expenses.
He Hannibal sought only one result – to create the largest and most luxurious super cruise ship in the Arab world.
And he had already figured out the name for the super cruise ship, Phoenicia.
In Hannibal's view, only a name like Phoeniciaze, which represents a thick history, can match his own Hannibal name.
He wanted to use the name to commemorate the ancient tribe that had once unified North Africa.
After receiving Hannibal's empty check, the shipyard immediately began to build a cruise ship according to Hannibal's vision.
In the drawing design, the cruise ship has 18 floors of space, which also houses a giant fish tank inside the ship that can hold 1.8 million tons of seawater.
Because Hannibal wants to see the 6 love sharks he usually raises on this luxury cruise ship.
In the specific design, this giant fish tank is more than 300 meters long and runs through the entire bar area.
Hannibal also designed a shark food storage room specifically for these sharks.
In addition to the giant fish tank equivalent to an aquarium, the design of this cruise ship is also extremely luxurious.
Marble floors, gold sculptures, wide-angle glass-screen waterfalls and other luxury items that ordinary people can't imagine are all laid out in this eighteen-story cruise ship.
Under this design, Hannibal's empty cheques were filled with a terrible price of £300 million.
But for Hannibal, the purchase was nothing more than the purchase of a slightly extravagant little toy, and he just wanted his shark to have a home.
After Gaddafi's downfall, the luxury cruise ship, called Phoenicia, was acquired by MSC, one of the world's largest cruise lines, for £460 million.
Far from bringing him glory as his former master had envisioned, Phoenicia became a powerful testament to how extravagant Hannibal was.
If luxury was a label after Hannibal took over the company, it was a side that was evident from Hannibal's early days.
In 2004, Hannibal, still a student, traveled to Paris and drank a few bottles of wine as usual in his mansion.
But after drinking today, he came up with a new "way to play".
After picking out his favorite black Porsche from the garage, Hannibal took his girlfriend and drove to the Champs Elysées in Paris.
Along the way, Hannibal ignored the cars on the opposite direction of himself, driving backwards at a speed of more than 90 miles and about 145 kilometers per hour, running rampant in a bustling area like the Champs Elysées.
The rampage was soon pursued by the Paris police.
But after seeing the police car coming, the drunken Hannibal did not slow down and stop, but instead slammed on the accelerator and the police sped up the car, leaving the police far behind.
Later, in order to maintain the safety of the residents, the police had to dispatch a large number of police cars to stop Hannibal, a beast who had lost his mind, by crashing and forcing him to stop.
Hannibal, who stopped, was arrested on the spot by the Paris police.
In just one night, Hannibal committed serious violations of traffic rules such as drunk driving, retrograde driving, speeding, and refusal to stop, but Hannibal did not panic in the slightest.
He knew who he was, and he knew that France didn't dare do anything to him.
Soon after, Hannibal was able to leave France after paying a symbolic fine that was a drizzle for him.
As for the punishment? Hannibal never thought he would be punished, he had done too many similar things in the past, and he would not be less in the future.
In 2005, Hannibal, who was studying in Denmark, went to the local Libyan consulate.
But on his own turf, Hannibal directly slapped his consul in public and swept his face.
As for the reason, it was also extremely ridiculous, the reason why he slapped the other party was that the consul looked him in the eye, which in his view was a blasphemy against his noble status.
As soon as this happened, the local media immediately began to report, after all, not everywhere can see the son of the national leader slapping his own consul.
Hannibal, who wanted to show his honor, lost face under public opinion.
Embarrassed and enraged, he took the reported media to court and took a large number of banknotes for the best lawyers to accuse the media of defamation.
However, Hannibal's money offensive this time was not as smooth as in the past, and in the end, he only lost the case and was once again ridiculed by the media.
After this incident, Hannibal did not reflect at all, but intensified.
In the same year, when Hannibal was resting in a hotel, he was dissatisfied with the slow movement of pregnant women and blocked his way, and he directly beat the pregnant women.
After this incident, Hannibal was arrested by the local police, but was soon released at the cost of a fine.
For a powerful figure like Hannibal, it seems perfectly normal to use force to hurt others.
In Greece, Italy and other places, there have been news of Hannibal beating people in the local area, and there are even police officers among the beaten.
After Gaddafi's downfall, an Ethiopian servant from Hannibal's family revealed information about Hannibal to reporters.
It turned out that Hannibal's force was not only for outsiders, but even his wife would be punched and kicked by him from time to time.
As for the subordinates, they only begged Hannibal to be in a good mood, otherwise even if they were beaten and lost their lives, no one would do justice to them.
The servant had been abused by Hannibal for pouring boiling water on his head.
As the saying goes, often walk by the river, which can not get wet shoes.
Hannibal, who had always despised others and loved to use force, soon received a severe punishment.
The incident cost him $5 billion.
Final outcome
In 2008, Hannibal's name was once again sung around the world, but this reputation was a disgrace.
On the occasion of Hannibal's visit to Switzerland this year, as usual, he did not restrain his temper and directly beat his entourage in public in the high-end hotels in Geneva.
If the usual plot is followed, this is another small matter in which Hannibal beats someone and is arrested, and then pays money to leave.
But this time, Hannibal failed to leave with money.
After his arrest, the Swiss police arrested Hannibal on charges of intentional injury and imprisoned him in accordance with the law.
Hannibal beat so many people around the world, or the first time he was actually imprisoned.
Somewhat panicked Hannibal immediately asked his mother for help, he did not want to give up the luxury of life outside.
After receiving the rescue information from her son, Sophia immediately pleaded with Gaddafi to bring her son back no matter what.
After understanding the situation, gaddafi, who was extremely short-sighted, immediately put pressure on Switzerland.
You say my son hurt on purpose? Well, then I'm going to accuse you of abusing my son.
After issuing the message of the accusation, Gaddafi followed suit with a series of retaliatory actions: shutting down Swiss companies in Libya, expelling Swiss diplomats, canceling flights between the two countries, declaring that crude oil would no longer be supplied, and so on.
Gaddafi's series of operations directly blinded Switzerland.
We do things according to the law, how did we get to you Gaddafi, or are we wrong?
But the retaliation against Libya is really powerful, especially the supply of crude oil, which is indeed the lifeblood of the country.
Unable to bear the consequences, Switzerland had to release Hannibal and apologize to Gaddafi.
On 20 August 2009, Swiss President Hans Rudolf Mertz personally went to Libya to apologize: "We apologize for what happened to Mr. Hannip, and both sides have agreed to form a committee to properly deal with this matter. ”
After this incident, although Gaddafi forced Switzerland to bow its head and submit, he also completely offended Switzerland and other Western countries, laying the groundwork for his own downfall.
After Hannibal returned home, Gaddafi simply fined him $5 billion in the name of the Swiss bank as punishment.
For the first time, Hannibal also paid a price for his evil deeds.
In August 2011, when the opposition completely captured Tripoli, the Qaddafi family began their journey of exile.
After the fall of Tripoli, the Libyan opposition found a laptop in Hannibal's home with dozens of photographs documenting Hannibal's extravagant life.
Most of these photos are of Hannibal and his wife playing around.
In the photo, the two are either sunbathing on a cruise ship or looking out at the sea of clouds in a private jet, leaving their footprints in Rome, Egypt and other places.
The activities presented in the photos are also colorful, including skydiving, diving, flying and other entertainment projects, which can be described as occupying the sea, land and air.
It is not difficult to see Hannibal's superior life before he fled, and one of the photos taken at Hannibal's home even has a zoo.
Private jets, luxury cruise ships, home-based zoos, these things that ordinary people dare not think of, are only the norm in Hannibal's life.
Hannibal, who enjoys all this, is a drunk and drunk driver who beats up pregnant women.
After Gaddafi's downfall, the sons and daughters who had enjoyed wealth began their own exiles, and they could no longer wield power as a blessing.
After losing his dependence, due to the various notoriety of the past, Hannibal did not receive any country, and could only travel around in a topsy-turvy way, including Syria, Oman and other countries.
After 4 years of exile, Hannibal finally ushered in his own end.
On December 11, 2015, Hannibal, who had wanted to visit his wife in Lebanon, was kidnapped.
The armed group that kidnapped Hannibal was not a non-governmental organization, but a religious group.
After the kidnapping of Hannibal, the group released a video.
In the video, Hanni pulls out a mirror and tells the other side's request: to let people familiar with the matter provide information about the disappearance of Lebanon's Shiite religious leader Moussa Sadr in Libya 37 years ago.
A few hours later, Hannibal was released and immediately taken away by the Lebanese police.
Regarding the abduction, Hannibal said of himself: "Good health, happy and relaxed. ”
But judging from the bruises on his face in the video, the kidnapping may not have been as easy as he said.
Afterwards, Hannibal was detained and imprisoned by the Lebanese authorities and has not yet been released.
As the saying goes, feng shui turns, Hannibal used to use his power to flout the law and oppress others, but now he has to take freedom as the price of his once wanton, which has to make people sigh a good reincarnation.
