Chapter 163: Chaotic Mahazanga
Sudden ...... Bang Bang Bang ...... In the silence of the night, the silence was broken by the sound of gunfire, and then the cries of men, women, and children came from the harbor, and everyone on board the Ice Dragon could hear it very clearly. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone on the Ice Dragon immediately got up and came to the deck to wait, anything can happen in chaotic Africa, although they are on the Ice Dragon does not mean safety.
Thirty Marines were also fully armed to occupy the key position of the Ice Dragon at the first time.
The gunfire continued, and then some houses were seen on fire, gunshots, the cries of the crowd, and the sound of dogs barking mixed with the sound of burning buildings...... Ten minutes later, Political Commissar Luo came to the deck with a serious face and reported the bad news: eight members of the Madagascar detachment of the medical team that had originally planned to come to the Ice Dragon tomorrow to receive supplies were kidnapped by unknown militants.
Su Chen and Lu Qiong immediately thought that this might be Guo Zhijian's revenge, but only three minutes later, the Chinese consulate in Mahajanga called to inform them that there was an armed rebellion in Madagascar. Supporters of former President Ravalomanana formed the National Defence Army and contacted the military of 13 districts to besiege the capital Antananarivo and Boeni districts, Azina Nanana districts, as well as important cities such as Tuamasina, Diego Suares, Antaraha, Mananzari, Manakara, Fort Dovan, Cape Sainte-Marie, Tulayal, Fianaranchua, Murondava, Angsirabe, Maruvua, Mahajanga and other important cities.
Speaking of the turmoil in Madagascar, it can be traced back to late January 2009, when the contradictions between the Madagascar government and the opposition intensified, and serious riots and bloody clashes broke out in the capital and other places. On 17 March, President Rajoelina, the leader of the opposition and former mayor of the capital, was forced to relinquish power and go into exile under pressure from some mutinous forces. The African Union and SADC suspended Malaysia's membership, and the United States, France, and the European Union condemned Rajoelina for unconstitutional seizure of power. On April 30, the African Union set up an international contact group to lead the resolution of the political crisis in Malaysia. Under the mediation of the African Union and SADC, since August, various political factions in Malaysia have signed the Maputo Agreement and its supplementary documents after several rounds of peace talks, and reached an agreement on the main arrangements for the transition period. However, Rajoelina unilaterally announced early legislative elections, and the political reconciliation process in Malaysia reached an impasse.
In March 2010, the AU announced sanctions against Rajoelina and 108 of his main supporters. In April, Rajoelina held a new round of negotiations with former President Ravalomanana and other factions in Pretoria, South Africa, but to no avail. In November, Rajoelina's regime unilaterally held a constitutional referendum and proclaimed a Fourth Republic, which was boycotted by other factions. [6]
In March 2011, more than 100 political parties, including Rajoelina, signed the SADC road map to resolve the crisis. The three former presidents of Malaysia disagreed with the content of the road map. In June, SADC convened an extraordinary summit in Sandton, South Africa, to discuss the SADC road map, and decided to include an element in which to allow Ravalomanana and other overseas exiles to return to the country. In July, the AU Council for Peace and Security met to review the SADC road map and decided to support the relevant SADC Sandton resolutions. Since September, under the mediation of SADC, with the exception of former President Razirakka's faction, the main political factions in Malaysia have signed the SADC road map for resolving the Maldivian crisis and its implementation framework. In November, the Malaysia-Singapore Transitional Government was proclaimed; In December, the Transitional National Assembly and the Supreme Council were proclaimed.
In March 2012, the Transitional Independent Electoral Commission was established. In August, Ma announced that presidential and parliamentary elections would be held in May and July 2013, respectively. In December, SADC held an extraordinary summit in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, at which it reaffirmed the unconditional return of Ravalomanana and recommended that neither Rajoelina nor Ravalomanana participate in the presidential elections. Since then, Ravalomanana and Rajoelina have announced that they will not run for president.
In February 2013, Ma announced that the presidential and parliamentary elections would be postponed to July and September of that year, respectively. Originally, the two former presidents withdrew from the selection, and the age in their hearts was relaxed to 35 years old, and they could only serve two consecutive terms, as long as everyone follows the rules of the game, Madagascar is likely to usher in peace.
But these politicians have a restless factor in their bones, Rajoelina in the Minister of the Armed Forces Lucien?? Rakotu Alimasi took control of the capital and announced that he would take over as interim president, and then cleaned up the country for the next presidential election.
Naturally, Ravalomanana was not willing to be kicked out of the Malagasy political scene. Current President Eli?? Anthony Martial?? Rajonari Mamanpianina directly called on the international community to intervene to bring Rajoelina to justice.
There are a total of 286 political parties in Madagascar, the largest of which is the I Love Madagascar created by former President Ravalomanana, and the second largest is the Nobel Prize. The third largest party is the Social Democratic Union, which was the third largest party in the polling group, and their views are very mixed, having supported the election of former President Ravalomanana, which was banned by the government, and later a row of people from the first and second largest parties ran for the presidency.
The other parties are also much the same, they do not have the same temperament as the Charming Dangdang and the Republican Party of the United States, and the ancestors represent different interest strata. They were set up for purely electoral purposes. A country with a population of only 24 million, the least developed country in Africa, has 286 legal and legitimate, and the degree of chaos can be imagined.
Current President Eli?? Anthony Martial?? Rajonari Mamanpianina was democratically elected as Minister of Finance and Budget in Rajoelina's Transitional Government. Prime Minister Kulu?? Roger?? Laurent?? Kristof was a well-known Malagasy physician who later supported the president's appointment as prime minister.
Madagascar is a presidential country, and the president is the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, but now the three former presidents naturally have cronies in the army. The regular army of Madagascar has a total strength of about 20,000 men, of which 12,000 are land forces, divided into six military regions. According to the compatriots of the Chinese consulate, the alert was directly raised to red!
Political turmoil naturally leads to robbers, and these local and foreign wanderers to Madagascar want to take advantage of this chaos. But as a least developed country in Africa, the ordinary people of countries with a per capita GDP of less than 800 US dollars have nothing but human life, so they target foreign businessmen and diplomats, and even foreign medical teams that aid Madagascar.
Collecting property, kidnapping hostages, and blackmailing governments are common tactics used by them. The political turmoil is such that the three main factions have accused each other of doing it. Although there were 30 sailors on board the Ice Dragon, it was impossible to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries without the recognition of the international community, and it was an impossible task to rescue the medical team members from the chaos of Mahajanga.
And the Ice Dragon has once again become the focus of attention, first of all, the safety of the Ice Dragon itself, the Ice Dragon is a national scientific research ship, even if the two warring sides will not target such a spring scientific investigation ship, so everyone feels that the Ice Dragon is still safe for the time being. Another focus of attention is that the thirty marines on board the Ice Dragon are currently the strongest armed force in Madagascar, even surpassing the security forces of the Madagascar Chinese Embassy, and this is the only armed force that can be excited.
As a result, the phone was blown up, and the higher-level leaders asked them to assess the situation of the authorities and design a plan, while the higher-level departments of the Chinese-funded institutions in Madagascar directly asked the Ice Dragon to send rescue personnel, and some even proposed to let the Ice Dragon assist the evacuation of overseas Chinese and use the scientific research ship as a transport ship.
Su Chen also received two calls at the first time, one was Ding Yangwu's, his precious niece was one of the first eight hostages to be kidnapped, Ding Yangwu could still be calm, it just so happened that he heard that the Ice Dragon had docked in Hong Kong, so he asked Su Chen to save his niece.
Su Chen couldn't ignore Ding Yangwu's request, although he was Ding Yangwu's uncle, but when he came out on business this time, the affairs of the family were handed over to Ding Yangwu, including Yue Chenxi, Gu Xiaoyan and the dean, and he had to go to Ding Yangwu if there were difficulties that could not be solved, and even left Ding Yangwu's phone number for Lin Shishi.
Although everyone has not troubled Ding Yang so far, there is a lot of affection, and Su Chen doesn't want to see the lively and cute little nurse Liu Yao being brought into the rainforest by unknown militants, even if there is no danger to life, and the mosquito bite is not acceptable to a girl who grew up in a big city. So Su Chen did not hesitate, he promised Ding Yangwu, saying that he would dispatch as soon as possible to find out where the robbers were hiding and try his best to save people.
The second call made Su Chen difficult. Because the person on the other end of the phone said one sentence: "The danger level of the situation is high enough, you can take over the Ice Dragon." "That's right, it's to take over the Ice Dragon, and it's a military takeover!
Of course, Su Chen didn't come to the Ice Dragon to be a doctor, or the General Staff asked the National Security Commission for help after learning the lessons of the previous few times, Su Chen is now directly ghosting the leadership of the General Staff, and the identity, files, and everything are all made up temporarily, but such a very unclear instruction makes Su Chen embarrassed.
What do you mean that you can take over the Ice Dragon, brother, can I be willful and not take over? But Su Chen knew that something was wrong, and he was going to be carried by the biggest black cauldron.
Strictly speaking, ensuring the smooth progress of the Ice Dragon's expedition is his top priority, but not all tasks, sending a dangerous element like Deng Jie back is part of it, even if there is no outbreak of the Kazara virus, Su Chen will find a way to let Deng Jie disembark from Madagascar, because this woman will definitely not be just open, lewd and lascivious, from the perspective of the people she contacts, even if it is not to obtain the investigation information of the Ice Dragon, she also wants to spread the crisis at a critical moment so that the Ice Dragon has to stop sailing or even return.
There are people like Deng Jie on the Ice Dragon, they are not Guo Zhijian's breathless, they may be the same behind-the-scenes boss, or they may be different bosses, in addition to constantly and accurately reporting the location of the Ice Dragon, they may also constantly revise their destruction plans.
Su Chen was ordered to monitor these people, and then give these guys a fatal blow at a critical moment, and then ensure that the Ice Dragon continued its mission. Starting from Guangzhou to Madagascar, less than one-tenth of the expedition mission of the Ice Dragon has been completed, and taking over the Ice Dragon at this time, of course, will not interrupt the scientific investigation of the Ice Dragon, but it will startle the snake.
In the Ice Dragon's captain's office, Gao Qingsong's brows were tightly locked, and Deng Liqiang, the captain of the Marine Corps, was analyzing the current situation: "There are thirty marines and two helicopters on the Ice Dragon, which can deal with the attack of one hundred to one hundred and fifty armed men on the ground without encountering warships. But now that the situation is so chaotic, the pirates in the northern part of the Mozambique Channel will also hear about it.
Although the Ice Dragon is a scientific research ship, it has scientific instruments worth hundreds of millions of yuan, as well as medicines urgently needed for the war, and may face more dangers. ”
