Chapter 45 Three Principles of Peacekeeping Engagement (Ask for Recommendation Votes)

In foreign countries, especially in war-torn areas, if citizens encounter any danger or difficulty in going abroad, the embassies and peacekeeping troops of their nationality will inevitably rely on them the greatest to ensure their safety.

That's what Xing Xiaolong believed!

But Louis Gabriel Largs, a middle-aged white man who exudes an aristocratic atmosphere, broke this well-known common sense and made strange demands that Xing Xiaolong did not expect at all.

He knew what was happening, but he didn't say a word, not only did he not ask the peacekeepers for help but also the embassy, and even deliberately concealed it.

Is it easy to get to know the high-level government of the hippopotamus?

Or is it an unknown relationship with a tribal force or an anti-government guerrilla force?

Or does he have a private arm of his own?

Xing Xiaolong thought about many possibilities, each of which could be right, but whether he should trust the peacekeepers or the white man in front of him who had the exact information, he became very confused for a while.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xing Xiaolong still couldn't make a final choice, so he could only slow down for a while and wait for the situation on the side of the peacekeeping rescue force to make a decision.

"Mr. Louie, I'm sorry, I have to trust my country first, if you can, you wait a day, and I'll give you an answer after a day." Xing Xiaolong said.

"You...... Well, I respect your choice. ”

Louis Gabrilags looked displeased, obviously hoping that Xing Xiaolong would agree immediately, but in the end, he still accepted Xing Xiaolong's request.

As Louis said before, he can help Xing Xiaolong save people, and he needs Xing Xiaolong's help very much.

Looking at the entire Red Cross Hospital, the only candidate who meets Louie's requirements is Xing Xiaolong, and he has no second way to choose.

Louis looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was even more anxious than Xing Xiaolong.

It's just a good disguise!

……

Day 2!

Xing Xiaolong, who had not slept all night, limped out of the tent area of the ward, and according to the information obtained by asking the doctor, came to the left side of the front door of the Red Cross Hospital.

It was a makeshift rescue headquarters located next to the hospital, surrounded by barbed wire grids, with tents of various sizes, vehicles and personnel in various uniforms.

Among them, most of them are peacekeepers, who come and go in full armor.

At this time, more than ten hours have passed since the plane crash, and the heavy rain last night has stopped, please leave the muddy puddles on the ground.

In addition to the wreckage of the passenger plane, the crash site has not been disposed of, and the bodies, luggage, black boxes, etc. of the victims have all been transported back to the rescue headquarters.

Xing Xiaolong didn't have a special pass, so he couldn't enter the rescue headquarters, so he could only wait outside.

After waiting outside for more than an hour, he hurried out after the meeting, with an extremely solemn expression, and sat on a familiar face loaded with an armored car of the peacekeeping force and ready to go somewhere - Platoon Commander Wang.

Walking in front of Wang Platoon Commander were two panda officers with higher ranks than him.

Xing Xiaolong, who had been suffering all night, saw the leader of the Wang platoon come out and hurriedly ran to the gate to forcibly stop the car, but was mistaken by two black government soldiers at the gate for terrorists.

Click click and the gun is loaded!

Fortunately, Platoon Commander Wang got out of the car in time to resolve Xing Xiaolong's crisis, otherwise the two black soldiers of the government army might really shoot.

Black people who have almost no professional military training, who are soldiers when they pick up a gun, are unreliable and urinate, and everyone understands it.

Platoon Commander Wang knew the purpose of Xing Xiaolong's coming, and he was also very sympathetic to Xing Xiaolong's plight, but as a soldier of the UN multinational joint peacekeeping force, he also had his own difficulties, so he could only pull Xing Xiaolong aside to comfort him.

Xing Xiaolong was already in a hurry at the moment, and he had to ask forcibly again and again.

Platoon Commander Wang may be soft-hearted, or sympathetic, or Xing Xiaolong is a veteran, and his secrecy about secrets is far beyond ordinary people, and finally whispered cautiously in Xing Xiaolong's ear, revealing two good and bad news.

and sternly warned Xing Xiaolong that he must not say it.

Otherwise, he will be punished heavily.

If it leads to a mistake in the follow-up negotiations, then Platoon Commander Wang and Xing Xiaolong will be in big trouble, and they will be sent to the international tribunal.

Finally able to get the information he wanted, Xing Xiaolong naturally patted his chest and promised and swore an oath.

The good thing that Platoon Commander Wang said is that it has been confirmed that another overseas Chinese woman, Su Dayu, did not die in the crash.

This made Xing Xiaolong finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the hope in his heart became stronger and stronger.

But this flame of hope had just been ignited, and it was treated as a basin of cold water, but the kind with ice, which made Xing Xiaolong's whole heart cold.

The bad thing is ......

Including Su Dayu, a total of 12 survivors of the passenger plane accident, two of whom were seriously injured and urgently needed medical help, have been "rescued" by the local armed forces of the Kaso ethnic group, and it is not known where they are currently placed.

The Cassel made a request that each survivor's country pay $1 million worth of gold as a "rescue fee" to bring people back.

They think it's a reasonable request!

However, the commander-in-chief of the multinational peacekeeping force from Bald Eagle, who has participated in many anti-terrorism and stability maintenance operations, exudes arrogance from the bones, and Major General Carlos, on the contrary, he feels that this is a disguised terrorist operation.

As the great bald eagle man, he could not accept being threatened by a horde of blackskins.

Therefore, General Carlos communicated with the UN Secretary-General, informed the military leaders of the peacekeeping forces of various countries, and the official representatives of the embassies to rush to the rescue command base and organized an urgent special discussion meeting.

The final result of the discussion is obvious, that is, it is not easy to compromise and negotiate with the Kasso people first.

The peacekeeping forces will no longer take over the specific way of negotiation and how to deal with it, and will leave it to the embassies and governments of each country to communicate with each other before making a unified decision.

Platoon Commander Wang is a soldier with strong blood, how can he sit still and wait for the people to be killed when the people of the country are in trouble.

But it is precisely because he is a soldier, and it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, no matter how angry he is in his heart, no matter how dissatisfied he is with the result of the meeting, he can only hold everything in his heart and obey the orders of his superiors.

Moreover, every peacekeeper who goes abroad has read the United Nations Peacekeeping Tactical Training Manual and is well aware of the responsibilities and limitations of peacekeepers.

Even if the multinational peacekeeping force had the strength to go to the Kasso territory to rescue by force, he would not be able to make any moves.

Even the most self-righteous General Carlos never thought of using the power of the peacekeeping force to forcibly save people in the territory of the Casso tribe.

The reason for this lies in the fact that the "Three Principles of Peacekeeping Operations", which have been implemented for 10 years and have almost become an iron law.

First, the principle of neutrality: peacekeeping operations must not interfere with the rights, demands and positions of the countries concerned, maintain a neutral attitude, and must not take sides in any party to the conflict;

The second principle of consent: peacekeeping operations can only be carried out with the unanimous consent of all parties concerned;

The third principle of self-defence: Peacekeeping forces are only allowed to carry light weapons, and may only use force when they are attacked by armed personnel and the need for self-defense is confirmed.

The last of these three principles already indicates the combat competence of the peacekeeping forces.

That's right, you can only defend yourself, you can't shoot on your own initiative.

If peacekeeping troops are forcibly dispatched to rescue people, it is impossible not to shoot in the process of rescuing people, and then the third principle of self-defense of peacekeeping will be violated.

If the peacekeepers are the first to upset the balance, the consequences will be very serious.

It is likely to annoy the Kahippo government forces, anti-government guerrilla forces, and tribal armed forces at the same time, resulting in a tacit agreement between the three forces, which were originally stalemate, to undeclare an alliance and unanimously raise their guns first.

When the time comes, the fate of the peacekeepers who enter the territory of the Kasso to save people will be ten times worse than the fall of the Black Hawk.
