Gresham¡¯s impassioned attitude did not elicit any reaction from Lin Rui.
He just said calmly, "What you want to do has nothing to do with me. I'm just a businessman. I take care of things related to my business. Why should I interfere in things that have nothing to do with my business?"
"Mr. Rick, are you going to have trouble with us?" Gresham looked at him, "Don't think we are begging you. In fact, I am also helping you.
Your Trident Company has become one of the largest companies in Africa in recent years. During the battle in the Orumi Federation, he completely became famous.
But everything you fight may also be destroyed. You should know what kind of support we have and how powerful it is. "
"You don't need to remind me about this." Lin Rui replied, "I know what I'm doing. You'd better know what you are doing."
Gresham spread his hands and said, "Now that we have reached this point, there is really nothing left to talk about.
We have also conveyed Chief Azzam¡¯s goodwill to you, Mr. Rick, you think about it yourself. We'll take our leave now. "
"No." Lin Rui nodded.
These Tuareg people all followed Gresham with unkind expressions and turned around to leave.
"Okay, they came here specifically to threaten me." Lin Rui smiled, "Whose idea do you think it was?"
The actuary looked out the window and said, "The secret society will definitely not do this. They understand that it is impossible for us to reach an agreement.
I think they should be Azam people. It seems that Azam wants to add a little more leverage to help him win over the Tuareg Liberation Organization and become the leader of the organization after Ahiburn. "
Lin Rui nodded, "Azzam is already a quite powerful warlord. He needs to use such methods, which also shows that the battle within the Tuareg Liberation Organization is quite fierce.
This also further confirms our judgment that they will not launch an offensive in the short term. As long as their internal integration is not completed for one day, it is not yet time to launch a full-scale war. "
Actuary Jiang An smiled, "But small-scale conflicts will begin soon. Because several gangs within the Tuareg Liberation Organization are trying to take over the power left by Ashbourne.
The more times like this, the more they will try to show their strength through this kind of external conflict.
Azam is a smart man. He tried to contact us to build momentum for him, which shows that he doesn¡¯t want to waste his strength on such things.
But others may not think so. I'm sure there are people out there who are eager to try it out by now. "
"So our decision is right. Once a small-scale conflict begins, it may escalate at any time." Lin Rui said slowly.
¡°The three regions of Kidal, Gao and Timbuktu in northern Mali are where the Tuareg forces are relatively concentrated.
My suggestion is that we¡¯d better set up a temporary command center in Gao first. The Malian military should have the same intention.
Gao, on the left bank of the Niger River, on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert. Not only is it the main city in northern Mali, but its location is very important. The river transport leads to Kulikoro in the west and to neighboring Niger in the south. Roads extend in all directions and there is an airport. "Said the actuary Shogan.
"It seems that the peacekeeping forces of the United Nations Security Council are also there, right?" Lin Rui asked.
"Yes, they have a super camp in Gao. United Nations peacekeeping forces composed of 13 troops from 8 countries are stationed. There are also a large number of United Nations civilian personnel to maintain local order." Actuary Masakih replied.
"That's right. Once the war officially starts, the peacekeepers will withdraw. We can also make use of the camp facilities they left behind.
In addition, as long as we control Gao, we may not be able to stabilize the situation in the north. But there will be no chaos in central and southern Mali. Lin Rui replied. "The delegation of the Tuareg Liberation Organization will not stay here for a few days. As soon as they leave, we will deploy operations as soon as possible." "
"Understood, in fact they were already making arrangements before. It was just that the Tuareg delegation was here, so the action was suspended." the actuary replied.
The Tuareg delegation, after staying in Barmac for two days, left with Ashbourne's body. The whole process was peaceful and there was no disturbance as expected.
But this was also within Lin Rui's expectation. After all, the position of the supreme leader of the Tuareg Liberation Organization is still vacant. There are many factions inside, trying to keep each other in check.
 ?Spread the news to me, we are new here, if anyone dares to cause trouble. They just have trouble with our Trident company.
In addition, we will shoot some people and assist the military and local police in arresting these terrorists. Try to send a more clever brother there. "Lin Rui waved his hand.
"I'll do it now." Kuaima agreed.
"Others will cooperate with the logistics department to set up the camp as quickly as possible. The peripheral construction must be completed before dark. I don't want our people to be without shelter before dark. ." Lin Rui ordered.
"Boss, the logistics team actually arrived one day earlier than us. The construction work started yesterday, but the progress is too slow and their equipment is not enough."
Sausage asked, "Do you think that in the name of the Malian military, please ask the peacekeeping force for help? Their super camp is not far from here. And they have engineering machinery and engineer battalions."
¡°I think it¡¯s better to forget it.¡± Actuary Masagoshi replied. ¡°Conflicts have been frequent in recent times, and the engineering battalions of the peacekeeping forces basically rarely leave the camp.
Let them carry out such large-scale operations unless they have instructions from their superiors. The Malian Special Mission of the peacekeeping force probably will not take this risk. "
Lin Rui nodded, "Maybe we can compromise and let our people borrow some engineering equipment from them. If we can't come forward, we can ask the Malian military to come forward."
Sausage and Colonel Neal left together to contact the peacekeepers.
Sure enough, the Malian military came forward and the United Nations mission was somewhat saved. Although not many personnel were sent, at least several pieces of engineering equipment were supported.
Mainly large excavators, this kind of mechanical equipment is used to make trenches and build protective walls very quickly.
The ASCO explosion-proof wall is actually a lattice-shaped hollow mold made of mesh galvanized steel and polypropylene. Just open the lattice and fill it with filler.
Its great advantage is that it can use local materials, including sand, gravel and cobblestones. And it is much more effective than dug trenches, and can reduce enemy firepower dozens of times.
Once filled with soil, sand or gravel, these metal cage meshes form a solid and powerful barrier with decent strength and structural integrity to protect personnel and equipment from enemy fire.
Two feet thick can be used to stop small rounds and shell fragments.
Four feet thick will protect against most car bombs.
5 feet thick can prevent penetration by rocket-propelled grenades and damage by explosive fragments.
As the metal cages filled with African red soil and gravel were piled up one by one, the protective wall around the camp began to take shape.
When Lin Rui checked, he discovered that one of the peacekeepers was Chinese, a solid man from Hebei.
During the conversation, we learned that he was a member of the ninth batch of peacekeeping forces sent by China and belonged to the engineering detachment. Responsible for engineering construction tasks such as emergency repair of roads and bridges, emergency repair of airport runways and barracks facilities in the mission area.
"You are still reliable." Lin Rui patted him on the shoulder, "The others didn't even dare to leave the camp gate."
"Actually, we can't blame them. The recent period has been very uneventful. The morning before yesterday, the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali was attacked at a camp near the town of Aguerok in the Kidal region of northern Mali.
Ten peacekeepers from Chad were killed and at least 25 were injured. "The peacekeeping soldier said helplessly.
"It is indeed not easy to perform peacekeeping missions in such a high-risk area. Are there many terrorists in this area?" Lin Rui asked.
"There are many. The key is that they are difficult to distinguish from civilians. They often carry out surprise attacks. And the attack methods are becoming more and more complex."
Armed men attacked the peacekeeping force camp in multiple vehicles equipped with weapons. It usually means that armed men first drive a car loaded with explosives to attack the gate of the camp and detonate it, and then break into the camp with guns.
The Chadian peacekeeping force that was attacked had just completed its rotation and had not yet become familiar with the local environment. And you also know that peacekeepers usually cannot open fire on their own initiative. So the loss is quite big. "The peacekeeper replied.
"Thank you for your hard work. After the project here is completed in the afternoon, I will send someone to escort you back to the camp. You don't have the right to fire at will, I do." Lin Rui nodded to him. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
