Chapter 709: Barren Land (I)
Africa, the full name of Africa, is the poorest continent among the continents with human civilization, and the vast majority of African countries are among the world's poor countries.
With the exception of a few countries like South Africa, many war-torn African countries are unable to meet even the most basic dietary requirements for their populations.
At the same time, Africa is also a huge breeding ground for various infectious diseases, the most famous of which is AIDS.
On average, one in 10 people in Africa is living with or infected with HIV!
Since the whole of Africa was a victim of European colonialism and the slave trade of the American Empire in the initial stage, under the influence of such historical legacies, the economic development of most African countries was very homogeneous and extremely backward.
And this backwardness has become the root cause of other countries' plundering and control of it.
In particular, with the ever-changing situation in the world as a whole, Africa has become a victim and a testing ground for various changes in the situation.
For example, after a superpower has made a breakthrough in military science and technology, it needs to test the actual combat effectiveness of its weapons, and it is impossible to meet its needs by relying solely on so-called military exercises to conduct such a test, so it is necessary to conduct a real war.
However, under the main demand for peace and development in the entire world, wars must be fought in some remote areas that are not under the mainstream gaze.
Africa is in a better position to meet that requirement.
Behind almost every African country, there are supporters similar to those of the suzerain.
The more war-torn a country is, the more it is liked by these suzerains, and the warlords of various forces within the country have given the suzerains behind them the opportunity to compete in conventional weapons.
At the same time, the control of African countries can also increase the voice of the countries that control them in the United Nations.
In national politics, it can be regarded as a typical example of low investment and high returns.
Taken together, all these have brought great suffering to this continent.
The above is all Ye Su's understanding of Africa.
For cultivators, Africa can basically be called a barren land, and no monk will ever pay attention to the so-called African affairs, Ye Su can have these understandings, or because he suddenly learned that he was coming, so he temporarily briefly browsed the historical situation of Africa.
Otherwise, in Ye Su's mind, the impression of Africa can basically be regarded as poor and white.
After a long flight, the plane ended up landing in a very poorly built airfield.
The entire airport is so small that the tarmac can only allow two planes to stop at the same time, and as the door opened, Ye Sudang stood outside the door first, and then saw hundreds of well-dressed government troops, led by several who looked like government leaders, waiting at the exit of the plane.
Qin Yu appeared behind Ye Su for the first time, and said in a low voice: "Ye Di, this is the destination of our mission, Sierra Leone." As a colonized country prior to independence, English is spoken in Sierra Leone in addition to indigenous languages. Therefore, there was no special translator prepared for this operation, and I could understand and communicate most of the indigenous languages in the country. ”
Ye Su nodded, did not speak, and had a faint smile on his face, walking towards the crowd that was obviously greeting.
Wei Feng, Yu Jun, and Lin Qinghan walked side by side about a half-body distance behind Ye Su, followed by Qin Yu with the other ninety-nine soldiers of the support group.
These soldiers marched in harmony, all the movements were uniform, even the process of getting off the plane, it was as if the machine had pre-programmed in advance, and only one sound could be heard when the footsteps landed!
All the soldiers did not squint, and although the guns and weapons on their bodies were in a polite shoulder state, judging from the movements and postures of their hands, once there was an emergency, these soldiers could enter the combat state in the shortest possible time.
Neat...... It's a power!
On the other hand, the hundreds of well-dressed government troops who came to greet them were a little scattered.
Although it can be seen that these government forces should also be the real elite of rigorous training, only by direct comparison can the real gap be clearly seen.
"Hello Mr. Ye, I am very glad that you can come to Sierra Leone, we have arranged the relevant matters in advance, and there is a special banquet for you to attend tonight at the Presidential Palace. I am the Chief of Staff of the Army, and I will accompany you throughout your visit to Sierra Leone. ”
Among the people in charge who greeted him, the black man who was standing at the front saw Ye Su stepping off the plane, so he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile.
The mouth is actually fluent in Chinese, and there is an undisguised humility in that smile.
"Then it's troublesome, let's get in the car and say, don't waste time. You should know the purpose and reason for my visit this time, we communicated with you over there, right? ”
Ye Su shook hands with the chief of the general staff and spoke.
"Yes, first of all, Mr. President, I asked me to express my gratitude on his behalf for your help, and all the relevant information, we have ready, all of it is recorded in the hand-held device, if you want to see it now, in the car, I will provide it to you."
As he spoke, the chief of the general staff made a gesture of please, and then led the way and led Ye Su and his party towards the outside of the airport.
As one of the poorest countries in the world, Sierra Leone is extremely backward in road construction, and the number of motor vehicles in the territory is naturally small.
After getting into the welcoming vehicle brought by the Chief of General Staff, Ye Su had a so-called handheld device in his hand.
This handheld device is similar to a tablet, but much heavier and significantly less advanced than a tablet.
Open the handheld device, and the interface will directly enter all the information about Ye Su's mission on this trip, as well as all the current known armaments of the rebels and changes in the battle situation.
Ye Su didn't speak, quietly looked at the information on the handheld device, and didn't return the handheld device to the chief of staff who was sitting next to him after the welcoming vehicle drove to the destination.
Then in the expectant gaze of the chief of the General Staff, he got out of the car without saying a word.
"Mr. Ye...... You see...... Now that the rebels are gaining momentum, if you don't provide timely assistance, I'm afraid we will soon lose control of at least 40 percent of the country's land area, and that area ...... Both are rich in minerals and diamonds. ”
Ye Su's silence made the chief of the general staff look very worried.
"Rebels?"
Ye Su was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "This is a trivial matter, I will arrange someone to go over to assist your army in the battle, if the information you provide is not too problematic, then in three to five days at most, we can help you defeat the rebels." I'm thinking...... Questions about this Ira virus. It has nothing to do with the rebels. ”
