Chapter 1861 Not a Sinner

The latest website: "Blood Diamond"!

Qin Feng tried hard to recall this movie.

The reason why Qin Feng remembers this movie is not because of Xiao Lizi.

Of course, because DiCaprio's movie has attracted so much attention, this is inevitable.

Since "Titanic", Leonardo DiCaprio has attracted much attention in every movie he shoots with his "grass-like" appearance. He is exactly like Gang Leader Qiao who comes with his own sound system. He is an invincible figure.

However, Qin Feng paid attention to this drama because of Jennifer Connelly, who made her debut with "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​and is a super beauty with fairy-like looks.

Qin Feng vaguely recalled the plot of "Blood Diamond".

The plot is set in Sierra Leone, where the outbreak occurred this year.

Danny Archer, a former mercenary from Zimbabwe, and Solomon Vandy, a fisherman.

Solomon was originally just an ordinary fisherman, but he was born into troubled times and was forcibly taken away from his family by rebels to mine diamonds. During the mining process Solomon discovered a rare pink diamond and took the risk to hide it. He knew he would die if things were revealed. But in order to change the fate of his wife and daughters as refugees, he decided to take a desperate risk. Rebel guards discovered Solomon's hidden diamonds and forced Solomon to hand over the diamonds at gunpoint. Just as Solomon was about to hand over the diamonds, government forces launched an attack on the diamond mines. The guard was shot and fell to the ground. Solomon picked up the machete, dug a small hole not far away, and buried the diamond in the hole. As soon as the diamonds were buried, they were captured by government troops.

Danny makes a living by dealing in diamonds and arms and is a complete war monger. When he learned about Solomon's hidden diamonds while in prison for smuggling, he realized that this might be his only chance in life to escape from Africa forever, and escape this vicious cycle of violence and corruption. Danny bailed himself and Solomon out of prison through friends, but Liberty City was captured by the rebels. After escaping from death, they began to search for diamonds, but it was not easy. He could only rely on the American reporter McGrady, who had only met once. · Bowen.

Maddie is an idealist. She came to Sierra Leone to uncover the shady story of the diamond trade and find the warlords who profit from diamonds and ignore human life. She originally wanted to use Danny as a clue to find the truth, but she didn't know that Danny needed her more at this time.

The whole story is the story of the arms dealer played by DiCaprio finally awakening from it and sublimating his humanity.

The movie is indeed good. But at this moment, Qin Feng was recalling some of the things described in the movie.

The movie itself is adapted from real events with some artistic processing.

Many of the introductions about Sierra Leone are very true.

Therefore, what Qin Feng wants to recall is some information about Sierra Leone.

As for searching on Google. I'm really sorry, in today's Internet age, everything has just begun, and a lot of information is not comprehensive and very scarce.

So it’s hard to Google anything about the civil war in Sierra Leone that just broke out this year.

Foday Sankoh, Qin Feng remembered such a warlord leader in the movie.

What is famous about him is that he originally accepted the conditions of US President Clinton, decided to lay down his arms and became the leader and first president of Sierra Leone. Later, Sierra Leone avoided civil war and adopted a republican system in which everyone determines their political status through elections.

However, this guy is wavering, afraid of being ignored. When the United Nations dispatched peacekeeping troops to maintain the election in Sierra Leone, he suddenly kidnapped the peacekeeping troops.

right! The first time a United Nations peacekeeping force was kidnapped and disgraced was in Sierra Leone. After this, it directly led to the outbreak of civil war.

As for why the United Nations did not take action, judging from the movie, it was because several old rogue countries were plotting against each other, each with their own agenda.

This also led to the full-scale civil war in Sierra Leone, which eventually evolved into a major civil strife affecting several African countries. In a few years, more than 5.3 million people died.

So, it’s the same old saying.

Under the avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

The five old rogue countries are not good birds.

They are all evil, there is no such thing as justice and evil. It just depends on where your comment stands.

This guy probably needs a weapon.

Qin Feng's eyes lit up slightly.

But then, what made Qin Feng helpless was that Sierra Leone could not afford so many arms.

According to the description in the movie, Sierra Leone is famous and rich because of its rich diamond mines.

But the diamond mines sell only US$200 million a year.

This batch of arms is worth 1 billion US dollars.

How can Sierra Leone eat?

Of course, this is only official data. In fact, probably much more than that.

Otherwise, only 200 million US dollars would not be enough for those warlords to fight a civil war for several years.

Although, in a country like Sierra Leone, labor is not valuable and there is no pension.

However, you have to spend money to buy weapons. You always have to spend money to eat.

Therefore, there may be more behind this. But it is far from enough for Foday Sankoh to swallow his own batch of arms alone.

After thinking about it, Qin Feng's eyes lit up.

Indeed, one Sierra Leone cannot eat it, but neighboring countries can.

For example, in the Congolese civil war, millions of people died. There is also the civil war in South Sudan and so on.

The demand for arms in these countries is obviously huge.

However, Qin Feng frowned.

Selling arms in this way may lead to greater chaos in Africa.

This continent may be difficult to calm down in the future.

As for the reason, it is actually very simple. It is all caused by Westerners.

It’s not that Westerners enslave Africans, but that after the end of the Cold War, with the improvement of the financial system built by the United States to compete for global hegemony, Western countries no longer need to use primitive and crude slave rule methods to plunder wealth from backward countries. .

This method is the most primitive and the most tiring. And resistance continues.

Therefore, the United States and other Western countries have adopted a forced implementation of democracy. In a primitive society that has been ignorant and backward for thousands of years and is still stuck in the tribal system, it would be a disaster to forcibly transcend the feudal dynasty and centralized system and directly enter a capitalist democratic society.

In particular, Western countries are very good at paying for races with small populations to be their rulers. But before leaving, the race with the larger population will be allowed to oppress the race with the smaller population.

When the race with the smaller population comes to power, the Westerners leave. One can only imagine what will become of these countries.

In the end, the civil strife continued. Naturally, this is very much in the interest of Westerners.

This is the reason why Africa has been experiencing constant civil strife.

I am just profiting from it, I am not a sinner. Qin Feng quickly woke up.
