1861 Not a Sinner

"Blood Diamond"!

Qin Feng struggled to recall this movie.

The reason why Qin Feng remembers this movie is not because of Xiao Lizi.

Of course, because the movie Xiao Lizi has attracted much attention, this is inevitable.

Since "Titanic", Xiao Lizi has attracted much attention with his "ball grass" level appearance, making every movie he shoots have attracted much attention. It's completely like the Qiao gang leader who comes out with his own stereo, and he belongs to the invincible level.

However, Qin Feng's attention to this drama is because Jennifer Connery, who debuted with "Once Upon a Time in America" and is a super beauty with fairy appearance.

Qin Feng vaguely recalled the plot of "Blood Diamond".

The plot is set in Sierra Leone, which broke out this year.

Danny Archer, a former mercenary from Zimbabwe, and Solomon Fandi, a fisherman.

Solomon was originally just an ordinary fisherman, but he was forced by the rebels to leave his family to mine diamonds in troubled times. During the mining process, Solomon discovered a rare pink diamond and ventured into hiding. He knew that if it was revealed, he would die. But in order to change the fate of his wife and daughters as refugees, he decided to take a desperate risk. The rebel guards discovered Solomon's possession of diamonds and threatened Solomon with guns to hand over them. Just as Solomon was about to hand over the diamonds, government forces launched an attack on the diamond mines. The guard was shot and fell to the ground, and Solomon picked up his machete and, not far away, dug a small hole and buried the diamond in the small hole. As soon as the diamond was buried, it was captured by government forces.

Danny trades diamonds and arms for a living and is a full-blown warmonger. When he learned of Solomon's smuggling of diamonds while in prison, he realized that this might be his only chance in his life to leave Africa forever, out of this vicious cycle of violence and corruption. Danny released himself and Solomon from prison on bail through a friend, but after Liberty City was captured by the rebels, they set out to find the diamonds, but it was not easy, and he had to rely on the American journalist Maddie Bowen, whom he had only met once.

Maddie is an idealist who comes to Sierra Leone to uncover the diamond trade and identify the warlords who profit from diamonds at the expense of human life. She wanted to use Danny as a clue to find the truth, but she didn't know that Danny needed her more at this time.

The whole story is the story of the arms dealer played by Xiao Lizi at the end, who wakes up and sublimates his humanity.

The movie is really good. However, at this moment, Qin Feng recalled some of the things described in the movie.

The film itself is based on real things with some artistic treatment.

Much of what is said about Sierra Leone is very true.

Therefore, what Qin Feng wants to recall is some information about Sierra Leone.

As for saying that Google goes to search. I'm really sorry, in today's Internet era, everything has just begun, and a lot of information is not comprehensive and very scarce.

So, it's hard enough to Google about the Sierra Leone civil war that just broke out this year.

Foday Sanke, Qin Feng remembered that there was such a warlord leader in the movie.

It is famous because he originally accepted US President Clinton's conditions and decided to lay down his arms and become the leader of Sierra Leone and the first president. Later, Sierra Leone avoided civil war and adopted a republican system, in which political status was determined through elections.

However, this guy is swaying and afraid of being set aside. When the United Nations sent a peacekeeping force to sustain the general elections in Sierra Leone, he suddenly kidnapped the peacekeepers.

That's right! The first United Nations peacekeeping force was kidnapped and disgraced, and it was in Sierra Leone. After that, it directly led to the outbreak of civil war.

As for why the United Nations didn't take action, judging from the movie, it was because several old rogue countries calculated each other, each with their own careful thoughts.

This also led to the outbreak of a full-scale civil war in Sierra Leone, which eventually turned into a major civil strife that affected several African countries. Over the course of a few years, more than 5.3 million people died.

So, it's still the same old saying.

Under the avalanche, not a single snowflake is innocent.

The five old rogue countries are not good birds.

They are all evil and evil, and there is no such thing as good and evil. It's just that it depends on which side of your comment is.

This guy should need a weapon.

Qin Feng's eyes lit up slightly.

But then, to Qin Feng's helplessness, Sierra Leone couldn't ask for so many arms.

According to the depiction in the movie, Sierra Leone is famous and rich because of its rich diamond mines.

But the diamond mines sell only $200 million a year.

His own batch of arms is 1 billion US dollars.

How to eat in Sierra Leone.

Of course, this is just the official data. In fact, it could be much more than that.

Otherwise, it's $200 million, which is not enough for the warlords to fight a civil war for a few years.

Although it is said that the labor of a country like Sierra Leone is not worth much, and there is no pension.

However, you spend money to buy weapons. You always have to pay for food.

So, behind this, there may be more than that. But it wasn't enough for Foday Sankoh to swallow his own arms alone.

After thinking about it, Qin Feng's eyes lit up.

It is true that one Sierra Leone cannot eat, but the surrounding countries can.

For example, the Congolese civil war, which also killed millions of people. There is also the South Sudanese civil war and so on.

These countries obviously have a huge demand for arms.

However, Qin Feng frowned.

Selling arms like this would lead to even greater chaos in Africa.

I am afraid that this continent will be difficult to calm down in the future.

As for the reason, it is actually very simple, it is all caused by Westerners.

It is not that Westerners enslaved Africans, but after the end of the Cold War, with the improvement of the financial system built by the United States to compete for global hegemony, Western countries no longer need to plunder wealth from backward countries through primitive and crude slave domination.

This method is the most primitive and the most tiring. And the revolt continues.

Therefore, the United States and other Western countries have adopted the forced implementation of democracy. In a primitive society that has been ignorant and backward for thousands of years, and still stuck in the tribal system, forcibly crossing the feudal dynasty and the centralized system, and directly entering the capitalist democratic society, that is a disaster.

In particular, Western countries are very good at giving domination to small populations. But before leaving, the race with a large population will be oppressed by the race with a small population.

When the small population of the race ascends, the Westerners leave. One can imagine what will become of these countries.

Eventually, there will be civil strife. Naturally, this is very much in the interests of Westerners.

That is the reason why Africa has been in constant civil strife.

I'm just profiting from it, I'm not a sinner. Qin Feng quickly came to his senses.
