Chapter 1656 Begins
With all the personnel in place around noon and several trucks arriving at the Miller-Collins Hotel with supplies, the atmosphere in Kigali was eerie, with the optimism of the peace agreement signed in Tanzania, but mixed with the depression that followed.
Peace agreements, sometimes worse than waste paper.
The hotel is preparing for a press conference, and the atmosphere is joyful, but the extra bunch of men of all kinds in the past few days makes people feel a little weird.
But the hotel is a place where all kinds of people are mixed, and it doesn't matter if there are dozens of foreigners, the hotel and the peacekeepers who help maintain order inside and outside the hotel are also happy to have more non-black guests in the hotel.
At the press conference in the afternoon, the Union Television Network went to two, after which they also interviewed General Bizimongo and Brigadier General Romeo Dallaire, the Canadian and head of the peacekeeping force.
The two important figures were very happy to be interviewed by important media outlets in the United States, as well as newspaper reporters from the Columbia Media Group of Stars.
Everything seems to be very harmonious, but in fact, there will only be a text message on this press conference, and it is still in a skeptical tone that "peace will really come".
In the past two days, the United Television Network has supported five groups of reporters in Kigali, with different names of subordinate television stations, and non-US media veterans will not understand that so many television stations are simply one family.
The six groups were notoriously bold, and the five new groups of white reporters all stayed in two other foreign-related hotels within a 250-meter radius — those two hotels were a cut from the garden-style Miller-Collins Hotel, but each was seven or eight stories high, and the reporters chose rooms on the top floor with excellent views, and the cameras were equipped with large-magnification extenders, oversized lenses, and night-vision cameras.
First-hand information, that's to be filmed.
In the evening, the hotel organized a banquet for all the parties, and the leaders of the joint forces in Kigali met again in the living room of Kwan Xingquan's suite, after which they waited quietly.
The radio was on, and the driver, Yam Kabarley, was called, and a few people were listening to the radio in such a strange way. The Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals will be broadcast live, which will be broadcast throughout Rwanda, and there should be a lot of people sitting in front of the radio as well.
This morning, the driver, who had sent his wife and several children, as well as some relatives of his own family, to his mother-in-law's house, felt that the countryside was safer than the capital, and that there were armed men of foreign friends to protect him.
He could see how armed these Americans were: he was at his father-in-law's farm when he was airdropped last night, and some of the equipment was brought in by his car.
The brand-new Soviet-style automatic rifles, a large number of high-looking, scoped sniper rifles, and even heavy firepower equipment such as disposable bazookas.
There are also some boxes that I don't know what to use, but they look very dangerous and powerful anyway.
Guan Xingquan promised Kareba that if he wanted, he could immigrate to the United States or Canada at that time, and he would not have to go the way of refugees.
If you don't give up, you can't do it, don't look at the relaxed atmosphere in the hotel, but the atmosphere outside is actually oppressive enough, because Mr. President is coming back - God knows what will happen once the tough president returns to Kigali.
Suddenly, the voice on the radio changed, and a hoarse male voice shouted hysterically: "People of Rwanda, our great president has been murdered by the lowly Tutsis like cockroaches!"
They tricked the president into signing a false peace agreement, but ambushed him with missiles on the road, and the time has come for the good Hutu compatriots!
Cut down tall trees!Cut down tall trees!!"
Just now, the President of Rwanda and the President of Burundi returned to Kigali in a Falcon-type plane piloted by a French pilot, and circled over Kigali International Airport in accordance with landing procedures as they approached the airport.
The plane adjusted its attitude and was about to land when two surface-to-air missiles suddenly flew from behind the hill next to the airport and fired directly at the special plane carrying two presidents.
This scene was also witnessed by many people: the missile hit accurately, one hit one wing, the other hit the tail part of the plane, the turning plane immediately caught fire, and in the blink of an eye it crashed and exploded, leaving no one on board.
As if foreseen, Hutu extremists immediately blamed the UN peacekeepers and the Tutsi rebels of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) for attacking the president.
On the other hand, the Patriotic Front accused the attack of being a cause of their own creation by Hutu extremists in an attempt to obstruct the implementation of the peace treaty.
But who launched these two missiles was completely insignificant within two hours!
Minutes after the crash of the presidential plane, Rwandan government forces and the Presidential Guard cordoned off the airport and set up roadblocks throughout Kigali at breakneck speed.
At the same time, the radio stations controlled by Hutu extremists not only instigated the news of the president's death, but will continue to shout that Tutsis and Belgians are responsible for the president's death!
.
The whole city fell silent for a moment, Guan Xingquan opened the window of the living room, and soon there was the sound of automatic rifle shooting in the city outside, as well as the sound of explosions in the distance - the purge of one nation against another has begun, and the two sides were actually the same kind of people before!
The area near the hotel is relatively quiet, it is a commercial and hotel area, and there are fewer houses, so it is relatively stable for the time being.
Holding a telescope to observe, the lighting system in the urban area was still working, and Guan Xingquan, who put down the telescope, came out of his mouth: "The shopping mall in the north is opened by the Hutu people, right?"
Colonel Dwight-Breed, who was also in the living room, immediately said: "Yes, Hutu property, Hutu police have been in charge of security over there since yesterday, and it should not be robbed." ”
Dwight Bred is the platoon commander of the 1st Division of the former US Marine Division, and he has been joining the combined forces for many years, and he has been fighting at the battalion and company levels, and this "colonel" is an honorary rank given by the Gambian Army.
The company's trip to Rwanda was basically field personnel, not only familiar with mountain and hilly warfare, but also proficient in urban warfare, and this mission did not require many agents and other characters.
When selecting people, it is not only required that the people who come can obey orders, but also that the heart must be hard and ruthless enough!
Guan Xingquan said "um" and returned to the sofa to sit down, at this time the sound in the hotel was also noisy, in addition to the personnel of the joint force, the other guests obviously also noticed the abnormality outside.
