Chapter 6106 Inevitable

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In a conference room on Mount Kubarro in Bamako, Lin Rui held a meeting with the President of Mali, his staff and senior military officials.

    "Mr. Rick, have you found anything?" Mr. President asked straight to the point.

    "A lot have been found. But it will take time to catch people." Lin Rui replied.

    "We don't have much time. The news of Ashbourne's death cannot be suppressed forever. Sooner or later, it must be announced.

    Once the Tuareg people know the news, I am afraid they will not be so peaceful.

    Originally, both of us wanted to have a meeting to discuss maintaining peaceful relations in the long term.

    Now Ahibern, who came here at our invitation, is dead, and he died of an assassination.  We can't hand over the murderer here, and it might be very troublesome then.  "A black official whispered.

    "Even if you hand over the murderer, I'm afraid the matter will not be solved so easily." Lin Rui looked at them and said.

    "Why? Mr. Rick, did you find anything?" Another black official asked immediately.

    ¡°I have unconfirmed information that someone may be secretly planning and financing the Tuareg rebellion.

    Under this situation, Ashbern¡¯s death is likely just the beginning.  Maybe as the leader of the Tuareg Liberation Organization, he knew some inside information.  That's why he was assassinated.

    And the death of Ashbern can be used as an excuse for them to launch a rebellion.

    ¡°If this was all premeditated, all they need is an excuse.  Even without Ashberon's death, there would have been other excuses.

    So I think the most important thing for you now is not to find the murderer, but to take countermeasures in advance.  Lin Rui replied.

    "This is exactly what we are worried about now. You are well aware of the current situation in Mali. It is really a matter of internal and external troubles.

    ¡°If at this time those Tuaregs start a rebellion again.  It is no less than the heaviest blow to this country.  "A black official wearing glasses whispered.

    ¡°I¡¯ve said it a long time ago, instead of caring about what Tuare thinks, we should be fully prepared.

    Those Tuaregs have always been dissatisfied, and their last rebellion almost succeeded.  If the French had not intervened, it would probably not be a problem of several autonomous states, but complete independence.

    Even in peacetime, they are ready to take action and deliberately create friction many times.  This time they have such a good excuse to go to war that it is hard to imagine them exercising restraint.

    Gentlemen, I think we should take action.  "A black man in military uniform stood up and said sternly.

    "General. We can't just consider military issues. This matter is very complicated. I think if war can be avoided, it should be avoided as much as possible." Civilian black officials in suits clearly opposed the premature use of force.  We still hope to solve the problem through dialogue.

    This is also the unanimous view of most civilian officials.

    ¡°But the generals of the Malian military prefer to use force to solve the problem.

    "Public opinion will be very unfavorable to us. After all, we were the ones who found Axiburn, and he was assassinated again here.

    Now many people think that we are behind it.  Many Western countries, including many major Western countries, have expressed their dissatisfaction with us overtly or covertly.

    ¡°Once we go to war with the Tuareg, I¡¯m afraid there won¡¯t be many people on our side.  "The president's chief of staff also expressed concern.

    ¡°We don¡¯t need to look at their faces, this is an internal matter of our country. As a Malian soldier, it is our mission to maintain the unity of the country.

    Is it just because you want to see the faces of the Western powers that you condone the separatists?  !  I will never allow it!  "The grumpy black general rapped his knuckles on the table.

    "General Palamon, we all understand your feelings. We will never allow anyone to divide our country. But if we use force, it means military conflict, which means war.

    ??And fighting requires money, and our current financial situation is very difficult.  Once a war breaks out, the situation will only get worse.

    Food supply, medical and health care, arms and ammunition, all will be under great pressure.  Then there are a large number of refugees that need to be dealt with.  We must consider the problem comprehensively.

    The last Tuareg rebellion was quelled because the French army forced them to accept a peace agreement.  At the same time we also made concessions.  This got us over the hump.

    This time, the French have withdrawn.  ?Speaking of the Tuareg armed forces, they have obtained a large amount of funds, weapons and ammunition through various channels since the year before last.

    In the past two years, their military strength has expanded rapidly.  More than ever before.  As long as you have the patience to check this point, you can check it clearly.

    So there are various signs that they have strong support from a certain behind-the-scenes sponsor.  "

    "We have heard about this. Do you have any other evidence or relevant news?" the Malian president hesitated and asked.

    "I happened to look through the documents that Ashbourne carried with him. There were many demands that far exceeded your bottom line. These documents are now in the hands of the police as evidence. I think you must have read them.  .

    So it¡¯s obvious that Ashbern came here to make conditions for you.  So what confidence does he have to put forward such harsh conditions to you?

    We all know that negotiations require bargaining chips.  If we only rely on the strength of the Tuareg Liberation Organization, I am afraid that we are not qualified to make such harsh demands on you.

    ¡° Then it¡¯s obvious that he must have someone behind him.  And what he relies on is the power of that large international terrorist organization.  Lin Rui replied.

    "A large international terrorist organization" the Malian president asked after a moment of silence, "Is it Al Qaeda in the Maghreb or the Jihadist Alliance?"

    Lin Rui thought for a while but decided to have reservations. He shook his head and said, "None of them. It's another terrorist organization. They are deeply hidden. And they are very powerful.

    ¡°I can only say that they have been eyeing Mali for a long time, hoping to use this Tuareg rebellion to completely subvert the country.  "

    "But if it's what you said, this terrorist organization should join forces with Yasi Born. After all, Yasi Born has a strong appeal among the Tuareg people.

    It should be easier for them to join forces with Ashborn.  Why did they want to get rid of Ahibon?  " asked a general from the Malian military.

    Lin Rui sighed, "I have to talk about Ahiburn. In fact, you should have been dealing with him for a long time. This man is indeed the leader of the Tuareg people, although he is your enemy.  , but you also have to admire this man, he is a mature politician.

    During the last Tuareg rebellion, some terrorists also emerged and cooperated with the Tuareg people.  There was a big fuss at that time, and you should all be impressed by it.

    But it was also because of Ashbourne that he refused to cooperate with terrorists.  Because in his view, the pursuit of the ideals of national independence and freedom is sacred.

    In the face of such a sacred ideal, there is no room for any tarnishment.  Therefore, he refused to cooperate with terrorists and was willing to accept French mediation.  Sign a peace agreement with you.  "

    The President of Mali nodded, "That's true. Maybe we have big differences, but in terms of our attitude towards terrorism, we are actually the same."

    Lin Rui explained, "So Ashburn is very likely to have noticed the ambitions of this international terrorist organization. I would like to take this opportunity to meet with you to tell you the truth.

    Of course, he would not give up his national interests, so he drafted a series of treaties, hoping to take this opportunity to strive for greater benefits for the Tuareg people.

    ¡°But some of the bodyguards around him have been bribed by this large terrorist organization.  This bodyguard provided them with a lot of information about Ashborn.

    This terrorist organization realized that the situation was serious, so it sent an assassin to assassinate him in the small hotel.  Then in order to silence him, he killed the bodyguards around him.

    Of course, this is just my personal inference, and there are many things that need further confirmation.  But based on all the current clues, I believe that my speculation is very close to the truth.  "

    "So, war is inevitable?" the Malian president whispered.

    Lin Rui glanced at the audience and said slowly, "Gentlemen, we all must understand one thing. When one party deliberately wants to start this war, then the other party cannot avoid it. In fact, I also understand the President's  Difficulties.

    After all, there is not much actual evidence for these inferences of mine.  And you hope that things will turn around and there is room for redemption.

    ¡°I am afraid that mobilizing troops at this time will stimulate the other party¡¯s already sensitive nerves, thus aggravating the conflict.  "(Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
