Chapter 100 Turning Against Each Other
Although Qin Rui didn't want to admit it, there were many people in this world who didn't want to be saved at all.
Many Libyans still do not understand why the Libyan government forces them to live in a way they do not want to.
Compared to planting trees, raising sheep is so much easier. Just drive the sheep out, and the sheepdogs take over all the other work. The shepherd can just scroll through his phone and play with the ants, and the day will pass by very easily.
As for the environmental damage caused by overgrazing, what does that have to do with me?
A tree costs 5 dinars. If you make an old Mexican do this job, he'll be able to make sparks fly from the shovel.
Many Libyans, however, do nothing, leaving their wives and children to plant trees while they lie at home scrolling through their phones.
In an attempt to evade compulsory education, many Libyans insist that their immature children are now adults, capable of working, getting married, and having children, and therefore require no concern from the Libyan government.
Some Libyans also claim that the Libyan government's large-scale recruitment of foreign workers has taken away jobs from Libyans, and that all foreigners should be expelled so that all jobs can be left to Libyans.
Even more outrageous was the Libyan who volunteered, writing a flawed so-called development plan and demanding that the Libyan government appoint him as the general manager of the Libyan National Oil Corporation, claiming that he was capable of leading Libya's economic take-off.
Every day, Qin Rui can fully witness biodiversity.
Unlike Libya, which firmly refuses to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
Under domestic pressure, the French government decided to send more troops to Guinea.
The French troops stationed in Guinea will only be able to sustain themselves until the end of the month.
If reinforcements do not arrive before the end of the month, the French troops stationed in Guinea will try to save themselves.
The term "self-rescue" means agreeing to the Guinean government's request to evacuate from Guinea.
For the French army, this was tantamount to surrendering to Guinea.
Since Guinean troops surrounded the French camp, the families of French soldiers stationed in Guinea have rallied in Paris, demanding that the French government rescue their husbands and children from Guinea.
Another group of expatriates who fled Guinea back to France are demanding that the French government take strong measures to protect the legitimate interests of French businesses and French citizens in Guinea.
Sarkozy's Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) seized the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack on Hollande, calling him a coward who was unable to protect France's overseas interests and calling on parliament to impeach him.
French media reacted swiftly, and calls for "war on Guinea" quickly arose.
On September 25, French Prime Minister Marc Ayrault announced that the French government would send a foreign legion to Guinea to rescue French troops stationed there who were in distress.
The Guinean government was not to be outdone. Soumya immediately issued a national mobilization order, claiming that if France sent more troops to Guinea, it would trigger a war between France and Guinea.
The escalating tensions between France and Guinea have once again drawn strong attention from the international community.
Cameron publicly stated that the United Nations should send peacekeeping troops to Guinea to prevent relations between Guinea and France from deteriorating further.
Putin said Russia is ready to send peacekeeping troops to Guinea at any time.
The United States will hold a presidential election in November, and the competition between the two parties has become fierce. Obama has no time to spare for Guinea.
East Asia calls on all parties to remain calm and resolve disputes peacefully.
On the morning of the 27th, the French Air Force moved into a French airbase in Senegal, a neighboring country of Guinea, and war was imminent.
At 8 p.m. on the 27th, the Guinean government demanded that French troops stationed in Guinea leave the country within 24 hours.
Preston, who had already arrived in Conakry, urgently met with Guinean Prime Minister Souma, hoping that the Guinean government would remain calm and avoid further escalation of the conflict.
"The French have guns pointed at our heads. We will never surrender. Once the French aircraft take off, we will attack the French camp."
Souma used French troops stationed in Guinea as hostages to force the French government to make concessions.
"My colleagues are actively mediating in Paris, which needs an opportunity to safely withdraw French troops from Guinea."
Preston hopes the Guinean government will make concessions first.
Despite Souma’s firm stance, Preston did not believe that the Guinean army was capable of confronting the French army.
In Preston's view, France didn't even need to deploy ground troops; it could completely destroy the Guinean army simply by using its air force.
No matter how weak and incompetent France may be, it remains a volatile member of the United Nations and its strength far surpasses that of Guinea.
If the Guinean government does not want to be overthrown, compromise is its only option.
"Absolutely impossible!"
Suma will never surrender.
Frustrated, Preston left the Chancellor's Office for the Presidential Palace, hoping to achieve a breakthrough through Condé.
"I'm sorry, but I'm a president in name only; I can't do anything."
Condé frankly told Preston about his situation.
"You only need to issue a statement, open a passage, and allow the French troops to withdraw from Guinea, and this matter can be perfectly resolved."
Preston's requirements were not high.
Condé smiled but didn't say anything.
If the French army is allowed to withdraw, the Guinean government will lose its only bargaining chip, and the French army will be able to launch military operations against Guinea without restraint.
"Don't you understand the disparity in strength between Guinea and France? You are no match for France at all. Think about Libya; if you persist in your stubbornness, Guinea will become the next Libya."
Preston was frustrated and couldn't understand why African leaders were all so stubborn.
"If Guinea becomes the next Libya, it might not be a bad outcome for Guinea."
Condé also hoped that Guinea would earn hundreds of millions a day, in which case most of Guinea's problems would be solved.
As time went on and the 24-hour deadline demanded by the Guinean government drew ever closer, Hillary Clinton made an emergency flight to Paris to mediate.
Hollande and Hillary Clinton held a two-hour meeting, after which they issued a joint statement demanding that the Guinean government open a passage for the withdrawal of French troops stationed in Guinea and begin negotiations on the interests of French businesses in Guinea and the French diaspora.
The pressure has shifted to the Guinean government.
Hillary Clinton pledged that if the Guinean government allowed the French troops to withdraw, she would guarantee Guinea's security.
Although the American guarantees are appalling, if the Guinean government refuses to negotiate, then the responsibility for starting the war will fall entirely on the Guinean government.
"We can talk, but we can't let them go."
Cissé suggested resuming supplies to French troops stationed in Guinea.
"How should we respond if the French demand the restoration of Total's mining rights during negotiations?"
Kamara reminded Suma that the negotiations would not change the outcome.
Total certainly doesn't want to give up its interests in Guinea, and the reason why public opinion in France is so turbulent is inseparable from Total's instigation.
As for the extent of the damage that launching a war would bring to France, that is a question Hollande must consider, and it has nothing to do with Total.
Hillary Clinton's mediation was a way to boost Obama's image. If she could prevent the war from breaking out, it would be a significant achievement for Obama.
Therefore, Hillary Clinton's security guarantees are only valid until the US presidential election.
Once the US election is over, whether it's Obama or Republican candidate Romney who becomes president, they won't care about Guinea's fate.
Obama's election prospects are not optimistic. The unemployment rate in the United States this year has exceeded 8%, which has resulted in Obama's approval rating among voters being only around 40%.
During his first term, Obama failed to produce effective policies on social issues such as immigration reform, climate change, and gun control, and his performance was poor.
Therefore, Obama deliberately downplayed these issues and focused most of his energy on attacking Romney's campaign platform.
If the standard approach doesn't solve the problem, then solve the person who raised the problem.
"Even if the outcome doesn't change, we must try our best to maintain the strategic initiative."
Suma does not give others any leverage.
"Then you need to send a telegram to Tiger and ask him to give us more anti-aircraft missiles."
Camara was prepared to retreat inland and wage guerrilla warfare against the French army.
"If war breaks out, we may be besieged by neighboring countries."
Cissé looked worried. Guinea is located in West Africa, which is within the French sphere of influence. French military bases are scattered throughout the surrounding countries, and the French army has the full capability to impose a blockade on Guinea.
"If neighboring countries open their military bases to the French army, they will all become our legitimate targets for attack."
Kamala, let me make this clear upfront.
At 7:50 p.m. on the 28th, the Guinean government announced the opening of the passage, allowing French troops to withdraw from Guinea.
At Hillary Clinton's suggestion, the Guinean and French governments will hold talks on October 2 in Freetown, the capital of Guinea's neighbor Sierra Leone.
On the 1st, Condé arrived in Freetown on behalf of the Guinean government.
Qin Rui was also surprised that Condé held a press conference immediately upon arriving in Freetown, claiming that the rebels controlling Guinea had no intention of negotiating and that the so-called "negotiations" were merely a delaying tactic.
Condé's behavior is exactly the same as Jalil's back then.
With the two countries on the brink of war, and the president traveling to a neighboring country for negotiations only to defect at the last minute, such a thing is extremely rare, even in Africa, which is known for its chaos and disorder.
Hillary Clinton did not give up on peace and continued to invite Guinean government leaders to Freetown for negotiations.
"Okay, I'll go!"
Suma offered himself to the tiger.
"You need to think this through. If you arrive in Freetown, there is absolutely no guarantee of your safety."
Kamala does not recommend that Suma go to Lion Mountain.
"With the US Secretary of State and UN officials present, there's no need to worry about security."
Suma did not believe that the French would dare to defy the world in full view of everyone.
"You two better not leave, I'll go instead."
Cisse volunteered.
Suma patted Cisse on the shoulder without saying a word.
"Go, and if anything happens to you, I will avenge you."
Kamara wanted to send max-level soldiers with Cisse to Freetown to protect her safety, but Cisse refused.
Even if Camara sends all his max-level soldiers to Freetown, the French cannot guarantee Cisse's safety if they decide to take action.
Every bit of fighting strength is precious to Guinea now.
