Lin Rui pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, let's leave now and go back and ask the actuary for his opinion. Also find other channels to find out the real situation. If there is such a group of child soldiers, there should be others behind them. The power. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to get any details from Cardin, who is full of witchcraft thoughts.¡±
Lin Rui and a group of others said goodbye to Kadan, left Abyei Town, and returned to the oil well station. Seeing them coming back, Maangishi immediately walked up to the front door and asked, "How is the situation?"
Lin Rui whispered, "We'll talk about it later. How is the situation here?"
"I have sent a team out to re-purchase supplies. Ahu and a dozen of his capable mercenaries will protect the vehicle. There should be no more problems. As for the staff here, I have also informed them Jonathan asked him to step up his efforts to calm them down and prevent panic from spreading." Jiang An whispered, "But we can't hide it for long. After all, there are a few people missing. Even if everyone doesn't say it, they will definitely realize that something is wrong. .
¡°These employees are different from us, and their ability to withstand stress cannot be compared with people like us who deal with death all day long. If similar incidents continue to happen, I'm afraid they will get completely out of control. If these hundreds of people get into chaos, it will be a chaotic situation that is out of control. So, I asked Jonathan to claim that those staff members were transferred to other places due to work reasons. As for how many people believe it, I'm not sure. "
Lin Rui looked at the staff coming and going in this place, nodded and said, "Well done. But we have a problem now, that is, the people who attacked our vehicles may be a group of child soldiers."
"Are you sure?" Jiang'an said in astonishment.
Lin Rui nodded, "It's very possible."
No one really knows how many child soldiers there are in the world, but according to one data, the total number of child soldiers in the world exceeded 300,000 as of 2008, accounting for almost a quarter of the total number of combatants in global conflicts in 2002. By 2007, more than 70 military organizations in 19 countries around the world had recruited and used child soldiers to fight.
Africa is the hardest hit area for children joining the army. In addition to front-line combat tasks, these child soldiers are also engaged in mine clearance, spying on military intelligence, transporting ammunition, and guarding oil fields and diamond mining areas controlled by anti-government armed forces. Allowing underage children to participate in war is the ugliest aspect of human war.
There are many reasons why the phenomenon of child soldiers in Africa continues to be banned, among which poverty is the primary factor. Most of the children forced to serve as soldiers are poor children from rural areas. Sometimes, taking up arms is the easiest way for these hungry children to extend their lives. A rifle means the only chance of survival. And for many armed groups, children are cheap war machines.
In addition, the illegal circulation of small, light, easy-to-operate, and cheap light weapons around the world has also created conditions for children to serve as soldiers. A child cannot defeat an adult with his bare hands, but he can kill a dozen adults with a gun.
In addition, because children are physically weak and psychologically susceptible to intimidation, anti-government armed forces in some African countries have seized on this characteristic to induce or coerce children to carry guns and fight, work for them, and train them to become Soldiers with high obedience, some children, especially boys with primitive violent impulses, are even completely brainwashed and become cold-blooded killers under the influence of the cruel war subculture.
¡°Damn, it¡¯s another group of kids with guns. I really fucking hate this kind of thing.¡± Maang An said with some frustration.
"I understand. But we have no other choice." Lin Rui whispered, "If such an organization really exists, we have to find them. Otherwise, it will not be safe here."
"Understood. I will contact Cobain right now and ask him to check it carefully." Jiang An nodded.
Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "Have you checked the other GPS signal source to the west?"
"I sent a small team to go, but the signal disappeared midway. Our people found nothing and returned the same way." Jiang An sighed and said, "Maybe the brother left in the car, It¡¯s gone now.¡±
"Damn it." Lin Rui punched the cabinet angrily, "Check, ask Cobain to check for me. Even if these guys are really blue devils, I have to find them out."
"Blue Devil?" Jiang'an said in astonishment.
Lin Rui then told Jiang An what Kadan said. Jiang An pondered for a moment, looking a little strange.
"What's wrong?" Lin Rui asked.
¡°Nothing but the legend of the Blue Devil comes to mind. The Dinka people are divided into twenty tribes, or more than that, and each tribe is subdivided into several branch tribes, but they all make a living by raising cattle.They have many strange legends. In their legends, the blue devil is a kind of underage devil who will become a powerful red devil when he reaches adulthood. "Jiang An frowned and said, "Kadan thinks they are stronger than adults, which means these children must have been well trained and have better equipment than ordinary tribal weapons. "
"I think so too?" Lin Rui nodded, "But it seems impossible for the nearby tribal armed forces to provide these children with formal training and sophisticated NATO-standard weapons. They do not have such financial resources. Moreover, these tribal armed forces are mutually exclusive. It is almost transparent, because there are often frictions and even open exchanges of fire between them. If a certain tribe has such a child soldier, other tribes will definitely know about it."
¡°So it¡¯s possible that these child soldiers do not belong to the local tribal armed forces.¡± Jiang An mused, ¡°The local tribal armed forces cannot train such a child army.¡±
"Who could that be?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Check, Cobain can access the intelligence of the US military, and he will definitely be able to find relevant clues." Jiang An said in a deep voice. Lin Rui also agreed. After all, before there is specific information, any judgment they make is just a baseless guess.
But the results of Cobain's investigation disappointed them. There is no official information about this mysterious child soldier. But this is not an accident. After all, if this child soldier really has no other forces behind it and exists independently, it will be difficult to investigate anything.
Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "Kadan seemed to have said that these children suddenly appeared two years ago, and no one had ever seen their existence before. And the blue devil he mentioned, could it be because these children were wearing blue clothes? Colorful uniform?"
"Two years ago blue uniforms" Shogan frowned, "Or we can ask Cobain to check from another angle. Two years ago, were there any other special things that happened in South Sudan? These child soldiers It doesn¡¯t just appear out of nowhere, maybe something has been overlooked, and these overlooked issues are directly related to the sudden appearance of these child soldiers.¡±
Lin Rui nodded and said, "Then let Cobain work harder."
