"You dare to look down on us?" the militant shouted.
"I look down on you, but not them." Lin Rui pointed at the other people present and said, "At least they know that no matter how powerful the scimitar is, it can't be faster than a bullet." Wiesel told the militant to sit down with a wink. Next, the militant could only sit back reluctantly.
Lin Rui smiled slightly, "I am not a weapons only person, but since we are talking about weapons, we just want to talk about this topic. Many tribes among you have served as mercenaries for Gaddafi in Libya. I think Toyota Have you heard about the war, right?"
Wiesel nodded, "I've heard of it."
"An armed conflict broke out on the border between Chad and Libya in 1987. The two sides fought fiercely in the northern Chadian city of Fada. The local Libyan security forces were annihilated. Within three months, Habr¨¦'s troops used guerrilla warfare and general warfare. Combined use, almost the entire northern Chad was recaptured. This war was named because the Chadian army used Toyota trucks to increase its mobility against the Libyan army.
Libya¡¯s military strength in Chad is quite impressive, with 8,000 soldiers, 300 tanks, and many multiple rocket launchers. There are also Mi-24 helicopters and 60 fighter jets. However, they were defeated by more than 400 Chadian militiamen riding in Toyota trucks, and more than 100 tanks were destroyed. Lin Rui said slowly.
The militant couldn't help but sneered, "So weapons are not omnipotent."
"This is just the surface. On the surface, it seems that the Libyan soldiers are incompetent, and the tanks cannot defeat the armed trucks. But in fact, there are too many big countries' influence behind it.
Chad originally had no air force, only some anti-tank guns and other anti-aircraft weapons. However, in 1987, the addition of the French Air Force made the Libyan Air Force almost afraid to fight. Then the French Air Force airstrike in Wadi Doum destroyed the local Libyan radar facilities, leaving the Libyan Air Force in Chad confused about the target for several months.
The second decisive factor is the missile-the portable Milan anti-tank missile secretly assisted by France. It is precisely because of this missile that a large number of Libyan tanks were destroyed. That's why there is a story about a pickup truck defeating a tank. Otherwise, driving a pickup truck to fight a tank would be a joke. "
The Tuareg militant couldn¡¯t laugh anymore.
Lin Rui then said, "Everyone in North Africa, I don't need to say more about these things. You should know better than me. I have only two purposes for saying this. First, when the military and command qualities are equivalent, Good weapons can determine victory or defeat. Secondly, behind the various wars in North Africa, those with the support of big powers often have the chance to win. You can clearly see the results of the Toyota War at a glance.
Gaddafi dispatched an armored force that he was proud of - nearly 10,000 soldiers, more than 300 tanks, and 60 fighter planes. For the Chadian National Army, which has not even solved the problem of soldiers wearing shoes, this is an extremely powerful invading force. But they are not afraid, why? Because they have the support of Western countries. If you want to win the victory of national independence, you must have the support of some big country behind you. "
Wiesel finally spoke, "But the Americans have not expressed their stance that they will help us fight for independence."
"Even if they agree, do you dare to believe it? Even if you dare to believe it, can you guarantee that they keep their promise?" Lin Rui shook his head and said, "I still say what I said, if you want to win the independence of the Tuareg people, In the end, you still have to rely on yourself. You currently do not have the strength to win independence, but you have such an opportunity. Cooperating with the Americans and strengthening your own strength is the fundamental solution to the problem."
Weisel looked at Lin Rui and said slowly, "But I need to know how much help the Americans will give us."
"Any war is inseparable from funds, weapons and ammunition. Americans are not lacking in these two aspects. What they lack is the ability to kill enemies and allies in this desert." Lin Rui looked at Wiesel and said, "That is, You and your people.¡±
These Tuareg people stopped talking. Wiesel was silent for a moment and said, "After all, this matter is not something I can decide alone. Let's talk about it later."
"These are things you can decide, otherwise I don't need to make this trip, and the Americans don't need me to be a lobbyist." Lin Rui smiled and said, "I also know the reason for your hesitation is because someone gave you You opened a higher price. Wiesel, you are like a gambler now, holding the only chip in your hand. But you have to think carefully about which side is suitable for this chip. Because if you lose If we lose it, we lose the future of the entire Tuareg people.¡±
Weisel was slightly startled and turned to look at Lin Rui.
"Yes, I know." Lin Rui also looked at him, "Your armed trucks are not well hidden, and I know that what the secret society promised you is not only??That's dozens of trucks. They even promise to make you and your people truly independent from other countries and form a true Tuareg nation. I guess this is what you value? "
Wiesel frowned and said, "Do you know them?"
"You know that. Now let me guess what the conditions they offered are. They provide a large amount of weapons and funds to let you assist those terrorists and fight against the government forces of various countries? It should be this. They must also say However, you can use this opportunity to gradually weaken the government forces of various countries and lay the foundation for your independent cause." Lin Rui nodded.
Wiesel remained silent.
"Do you believe that these terrorists can shake the foundation of the government forces?" Lin Rui shook his head and said, "And you know in your heart that even if these government forces are finished, it will not be your turn to fight for independence. By then, those big powers will be supporting you. establish a government loyal to them.
This is the truth about Africa. The world is still dominated by colonialism, just under another kind of packaging. Because the ones who call the shots here are still the colonists, those colonists from big countries.
Under the attack of the African national liberation movement, the violence and power of the colonists have been spurned by the international community. Western developed countries were forced to change the old way of direct colonial rule and adopt more covert and indirect means of colonial aggression.
They make full use of their economic advantages to carry out political, economic and cultural aggression against non-Western countries. They also use military means when necessary to bring independent African countries under their control so that these countries can continue to serve as their commodity markets. , raw material production areas and investment locations to maximize wealth extraction. "
Wiesel turned his head and shouted, "Of course I know that I hate these colonists more than you do, but you let me cooperate with the Americans."
"This is the only way to your nation's independence." Lin Rui said slowly, "You understand, but you just can't figure it out."
