Chapter 1983: It's Just a Sacrifice

"Nothing, just curiosity. I guess I have dispelled some of my doubts. I'm still interested in the secrets behind this world. Qin Feng said with a smile.

Clinton sat back down.

"Regarding this, I think you should be aware of what happened a year ago in this matter. Clinton said.

Qin Feng nodded.

The incident that Clinton was talking about was the Black Hawk incident.

Hollywood remade it into a classic movie: "Black Hawk Down".

It's simple. In 1993, the U.S. military had an accident during a military operation in Somalia, and due to incorrect intelligence, two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down by RPG bazookas. And provoked an entire city of people to attack the US military. After hours of fierce fighting, most of the 120 U.S. troops managed to return to base with reinforcements.

In fact, in terms of the results of the battle, the US military was victorious.

Because the other side is a tactical squad of thousands of people besieging the United States.

It's just that the follow-up because the American reinforcements have been taking the way of the gourd baby to save grandpa.

As a result, U.S. forces were trapped in Somalia and eventually besieged by Somali island forces.

In fact, in the end, the Americans also walked with the posture of victors.

The battle loss ratio of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

But with the release of photos and videos of American GIs being dragged through the streets by Somali pirates, it was a different story.

This has led to great pressure from public opinion in the United States, coupled with great pressure from public opinion internationally.

In the end, it became a failed military operation.

But in reality, the United States had 100 men against the heavily armed Somali pirate legion, and it had a pirate legion of nearly 10,000 people.

In the end, the United States lost 19 killed, 1 captured, and 70 wounded. In exchange for a great victory in which 1,000 enemy soldiers were killed.

In terms of advanced weapons, the Somali Pirate Legion at that time had RPG rocket launchers, heavy machine guns, and armed vehicles, although they were not as well-equipped as the American army. But there are also no less heavy weapons.

And at that time, the US military was trapped in four strongholds, and the manpower was scattered. As a result, the U.S. military is facing great defensive pressure.

Even so, it killed 1,000 people and wounded thousands.

But apparently, when a prisoner of war was paraded through the streets, it still provoked domestic outrage.

"So, the outside world said that the reason why I didn't go to Rwanda to keep the peace at that time was because of the Black Hawk incident. Qin Feng said.

That's what the outside world says.

Because of the Black Hawk incident, the United States was extremely passive.

The Clinton administration completely abandoned sending troops to Rwanda.

In particular, the entire United Nations did not move at that time.

It is also normal for the United States not to move.

But unexpectedly, it eventually led to the massacre of one million people.

Moreover, this is still a rough estimate.

In fact, in the early days of the war, it was the Hutu who massacred the Tutsis.

Later, the Tutsi armed forces fought back.

This was followed by another wave of massacres.

After all, a tooth for a tooth, it makes perfect sense.

However, because the whole of Rwanda was close to national collapse at that time, detailed data were not available at all.

The millions of people that can be counted are only the Tutsi death toll.

This was because the Tutsi were closer to a civilized society at that time, and the relevant demographics were more accurate.

On the Hutu side, there are no such statistics.

But there was definitely no lot of slaughter.

It's just that the international community doesn't want to report too much about such things anymore.

This will make the world condemn the United Nations even more.

So, the figure of one million people dying in the Holocaust was determined.

"Since you asked, then I can also tell you the truth. Clinton raised his glass, "The Black Hawk incident did have a great impact, but it was not a reason for me to decide not to send troops to maintain peace." ”

The rebellion of the common people has indeed had a great impact on American society.

But for a strong regime, the influence of the common people is very limited.

Of course, in a society like the United States, people can vote for you at the time of the election.

But know that it's either Democrat or Republican. People from these two parties are running.

No matter how you vote, it's the same for both parties, there's no difference.

All for the elite.

In international affairs, no matter which party is in power, it will not care about the views and attitudes of the people at the bottom.

So, at that time, the Clinton administration could send troops.

"I'm interested!" Lin Feng looked curious.

"Because of the interests!" Clinton said with a laugh.

"Interests?" Lin Feng was puzzled.

"Did the Rwandan genocide affect you?" Clinton asked.

Lin Feng shook his head.

At the time of the 1994 Rwandan massacre, Lin Feng had just come back from life. At that time, I was thinking about how to restart my life.

The Rwandan massacre has something to do with it.

Don't talk about the death of a million people, even if you die tens of millions of people, you don't care.

Even if the whole country is destroyed, he doesn't care.

"It doesn't have anything to do with the vast majority of people in the world. No matter how much you die, it doesn't matter to most people in this world. The so-called humanitarianism, the so-called human rights organizations, and so on, their concerns, I admit, are genuinely God's mercy. "But do the vast majority of them care? Look, make an exclamation, that's all." ”

Qin Feng nodded.

Clinton's remarks were very correct.

"So, how many people they die has no effect on the outside world. But for the state, there are implications. "Rwanda is located in east-central Africa, bordered by Tanzania to the east, Uganda to the north, and Burundi to the south. ”

Qin Feng looked at the map.

I don't quite understand what Clinton meant.

"Their riots were because the Hutu were outnumbered and they were the first to strike, so they had the upper hand. But in the end, the Tutsi have the advantage in economy and weapons, and they will definitely fight back in the end. "And by the time the Hutu killed a million Tutsis, there weren't many Tutsis left." At this time, if they fight back, they will inevitably slaughter the Hutu in turn. And the Hutu will inevitably flee. They are certainly afraid of reprisals. When the time comes, those who flee from the Hutu will flee to the surrounding countries. This run, the whole of Africa will be affected by it. ”

Clinton took a sip of his drink.

"And then, because of the huge influence of public opinion, we send troops, no, not only us, but all countries send troops, and there is a reason to station more troops in Rwanda. At the same time, those who escaped from the Hutu can also be justifiably arrested. Naturally, there is a reason to enter more countries. Naturally, you will be able to occupy more interests in more countries. Clinton said lightly, "Now that we are a civilized and democratic society, you will be condemned by international public opinion if you go to other countries for no reason, even if it is a small and poor country." And this incident, it can solve everything. ”

"It's all but profit. A million people are just a sacrifice to start the partition of Africa. Clinton put down his glass and walked away.
