Chapter 109 100 Days
Unlike Libya, where the civil war reduced the population by a third, the coup in Guinea had a very small impact and did not have a significant impact on the social foundation.
Every change of regime is a new round of wealth redistribution.
This formula only appears when one class overthrows another.
Although every president in Guinea since independence has come to power through violence, there has been no genuine change of power within the country. Power and wealth have consistently been held by multinational corporations, and the so-called presidents are merely representatives of these corporations' interests, pushed to the forefront by these companies.
Or, to put it another way, the coup in Guinea was simply a struggle for the right to be a lackey of a multinational corporation.
Strictly speaking, Suma, Kamara, and Cissé are also advocates for the interests of multinational corporations.
However, this time the rules for profit distribution are no longer decided solely by multinational corporations, but rather coordinated and distributed by all parties.
In the past, multinational corporations took 90% of the profits from Guinea, while their cronies divided up 9%, leaving less than 1% actually used for Guinea's benefit.
The new profit distribution principle is strictly implemented according to the shareholding ratio. The Guinean government not only enjoys the legitimate profits generated by its 15% shareholding, but also receives the taxes due.
As a result, the interests of the existing vested interest groups in Guinea have been greatly affected.
These lackeys wouldn't dare to resist the exploitation of multinational corporations.
If you ask them to stage a coup, they not only dare, they're incredibly audacious.
On November 5th, the day before the US presidential election, Qin Rui received a call from Ding Jian.
During the phone call, Ding Jian revealed to Qin Rui that a large number of arms orders had recently been shipped to countries surrounding Guinea, and reminded Qin Rui to pay attention to the security of their respective investments.
"Since you know it will affect the security of your investments, why do you still do it?"
Qin Rui was very dissatisfied with this act of aiding the enemy.
"President Qin, we're not in the same system, so it's none of your business."
Ding Jian had no choice; even military workers need to eat.
This kind of trade cannot be prohibited, after all, East Asia is not the only country in the world that can produce bullets and rockets.
Perhaps it is precisely because of "aiding the enemy" that such brainless behavior as buying weapons from East Asia and undermining East Asia has occurred.
This can also be explained.
Such procurement is not carried out directly by the relevant countries, but is subcontracted layer by layer, using many different names, which creates obstacles to finding the source of funds.
Despite the numerous difficulties in exporting high-end weapons from East Asia.
However, conventional weapons are unmatched in terms of cost-effectiveness.
Qin Rui hung up the phone and then called Kamara to remind him to be aware of any unusual activity in neighboring countries.
"Guinea needs a top-down deep clean-up to get back on track."
Kamara was well-prepared and ready to pounce.
On the 6th, voting began in the US presidential election, and the whole world quieted down to await the results.
With the mediation of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Libya and Chad finally began negotiations on a ceasefire.
The first day of negotiations went very poorly, with both sides sticking to their own arguments and demanding huge financial compensation from the other for the losses incurred, without reaching any agreement.
In an attempt to break the deadlock, Merkel proposed that both sides waive their claims for compensation, based on the realities of their respective situations.
Although Libya can afford to pay the compensation, it will absolutely not pay this amount.
Chad has no money, but he can take your life.
Since the outbreak of the tribal wars, Libya has suffered fewer than 100 casualties. The Libyan government is primarily seeking compensation from the Chad government, targeting the tribes that were attacked.
The Chad government had previously kept the losses a secret and had not made them public.
Qin Rui now realized that since the outbreak of the tribal war, Chad had suffered more than 1.2 casualties.
Including the attacked tribes, the total losses in Libya did not exceed 500, seemingly making a huge profit.
But that's not how it works. Qin Rui doesn't believe that the lives of Chadians can be equated with the lives of Libyans.
Among the soldiers killed in Libya, six were max-level soldiers that Qin Rui had obtained from the system.
For every soldier killed in action, the Libyan government pays approximately $30 in compensation. In addition, it continues to provide support to the families of fallen soldiers, including children until they turn 18, elderly people who are supported by the Libyan government, and spouses who receive a monthly allowance equivalent to about half of the fallen soldier's salary until all children reach adulthood.
Even if the spouse remarries, this benefit will not be cancelled.
Compared to Libya, those killed in Chad did not even receive the most basic compensation.
Even the Chadian government doesn't value the lives of Chadian soldiers.
On what basis are they equated?
Since there is no compensation, Libya will not cease fire, much less withdraw its troops.
In an effort to put pressure on the Chad government, the Libyan government decided to launch a large-scale bombing raid on N'Djamena, the capital of Chad, on November 8. All valuable targets in N'Djamena were within the scope of the bombing.
The airport is the key point.
This decision was met with strong opposition from France.
The French military command center was located at N'Djamena Airport.
"Compared to the ugly colonizers, we were quite civilized; at least we notified them before the bombing."
In an interview with CNR International, Hai Shan clearly expressed her hatred for the colonizers.
"The colonization is over. We can't live in hatred. Why not look forward, abandon hatred, and embrace a new life?"
The female reporter's magnanimity was astonishing.
"That's an excellent question. If I were to abuse you, would you forgive me?"
You haven't forgiven your enemies either; you're only forced to cooperate due to circumstances.
Hai Shan sneered, "The words may be crude, but the reasoning is sound."
The reporter was speechless and quickly changed the subject: "Launching a military strike against a civilian facility like an airport is not in line with the moral requirements of modern warfare and will cause a large number of innocent civilian casualties. Shouldn't these issues be taken into consideration?"

"Do those Libyans who were attacked deserve to die?"
What did they do wrong?
After the defeat of Libya in the "Toyota War," all Chadians cheered and celebrated the great victory of the Chadian army, enjoying the glory and joy that the victory brought.
So don't talk about innocence; no one is innocent.
If you don't want to become a victim of war, you can stay away from those so-called civilian facilities;
Going to the airport at a time like this is not only unjust, but it also makes one an accomplice in deepening the conflict.
Hai-Shan disliked the reporter's attitude and ended the interview early.
CNR International edited the interview content, cutting out some unsuitable segments, and barely managed to produce a program.
Libyan state television did not edit the interview in any way, broadcasting the entire process on Libya's Channel One and also posting the complete interview on the Libyan website.
Within hours, tens of thousands of people flooded the Libyan official website, criticizing the female journalist for her double standards and sanctimonious behavior, and even hurling insults and humiliation at her.
Chinese people in Libya also flocked to Libyan official websites, claiming that the female journalist's personal remarks could not represent the official attitude of East Asia towards "hatred".
The true attitude of East Asians towards "revenge" is: even a hundred generations can do it!
One of a kind in the world.
Other countries don't even understand what "revenge for a hundred lifetimes" means, let alone talk about "revenge for a hundred lifetimes".
Not only does the United States lack history, but East Asia is the only region in the world that has the concept of "history".
Libyan textbooks are different from those in East Asia.
In East Asia, everyone knows the concept of the "Four Ancient Civilizations" and takes pride in it.
The so-called "Four Great Ancient Civilizations" is just a concept forcibly pieced together by Western countries in order to belittle East Asia. The other three may exist, but their level of "civilization" is probably not as high as that of Guinea and the United States today.
Libya neither conceals nor glorifies its history; being colonized is being colonized, and being enslaved is being enslaved. The Libyan government hopes that Libyans will feel ashamed and then strive to improve, rather than indulging in a false sense of glorious history and refusing to face reality.
Regarding European history, Libya has not followed the grand narratives of European historians, but has strived to tell the Libyan people the true history and boost their self-confidence.
What's wrong with Libyans being enslaved?
Europeans were still being sold into slavery by Arabs around the world until the 15th century, and their situation was no better than that of Libya.
The modern European lifestyle of happiness is built on the exploitation and plunder of Africa's wealth.
From this perspective, European countries are all guilty and have no right to demand Libya's forgiveness.
It is precisely because of the popularization of science among East Asians in Libya that many East Asians have come to notice the treasure trove that is the Libyan textbook.
East Asian scholars who compiled textbooks overestimated the moral bottom line of so-called historians in Europe and America, and regarded the history fabricated by those people through myths and legends as the standard, thus leading to the eastward spread of Western learning.
That's not right either.
This also overestimates the moral bottom line of scholars; they are not stupid, they are simply evil.
The textbooks compiled in Libya identify East Asia as the only "ancient civilization," while others are simply dragged in by Western scholars to make up the numbers, which is an insult to the concept of "civilization."
East Asian netizens, always eager for drama, photocopied Libyan textbooks and widely disseminated them on the East Asian internet.
Many East Asians have discovered another fact: Libyan textbooks are actually compiled in Chinese.
There are versions in both Chinese and Arabic.
After all, schools in Libya widely use multilingual teaching, and students are free to choose their second language. With very few exceptions, most Libyan students use Chinese as their second language.
This was not something the Libyan government demanded, but rather a natural choice based on the actual situation in Libya.
Libyan textbooks have just begun circulating on East Asian networks, the US election is over, Obama has been re-elected and is once again the President of the United States.
Negotiations between Libya and Chad have entered a new phase.
At Merkel's suggestion, the Libyan and Chad governments agreed to a temporary ceasefire using the current line of control as the dividing line.
The ceasefire will last for 100 days.
