Chapter 1983: Just a Sacrifice

"It's nothing, I'm just curious. This dispels some of my doubts. I'm still very interested in the secrets behind this world." Qin Feng said with a smile.

Clinton sat back down.

"Regarding this matter, I think you should be aware of what happened a year ago." Clinton said.

Qin Feng nodded.

The incident Clinton was talking about was the Black Hawk incident.

This incident was remade by Hollywood into a classic movie: "Black Hawk Down".

Things are simple. It was in 1993 that an accident occurred while the US military was conducting military operations in Somalia. Due to incorrect intelligence, two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down by RPG rocket launchers. And triggered people throughout the city to attack the US military. After several hours of fierce fighting, most of the 120 American troops successfully returned to their base with the support of reinforcements.

In fact, in terms of results, the US military was victorious.

Because the opponent is a tactical team of thousands of people besieging the United States.

However, in the follow-up, the American reinforcements have always adopted the method of saving grandpa.

This resulted in U.S. troops being trapped in Somalia and eventually besieged by Somali island forces.

In fact, in the end, the Americans also walked away as victors.

The battle loss ratio between the two sides is not at the same level at all.

However, with the release of relevant photos and videos of American soldiers being dragged through the streets by Somali pirates, it is completely different.

This has led to great pressure from domestic public opinion in the United States, as well as great pressure from international public opinion.

In the end, it became a failed military operation.

But in fact, the United States used 100 people to fight against the heavily armed Somali pirates, and there were nearly 10,000 pirates.

The final result was that 19 Americans were killed, 1 was captured, and 70 were injured. In exchange for a great victory, 1,000 enemy soldiers were killed.

In terms of advanced weapons, the Somali pirates at that time had RPG rocket launchers, heavy machine guns, and armed vehicles, although they were not as well-equipped as the US military. But there are also many heavy weapons.

Moreover, at that time, the US military was trapped in four strongholds and its manpower was scattered. This resulted in the US military facing tremendous defensive pressure.

Even so, it was a glorious achievement of killing 1,000 people and injuring thousands more.

But obviously, when a prisoner of war was paraded through the streets, it still aroused domestic anger.

"So, the outside world said that the reason why we did not go to Rwanda to maintain peace at that time was because of the Black Hawk incident." Qin Feng said.

This is what the outside world says.

Because of the Black Hawk incident, the United States was extremely passive.

The Clinton administration also completely gave up sending troops to Rwanda.

In particular, the entire United Nations was not moved at that time.

It is normal for the United States not to move.

But unexpectedly, it eventually led to a massacre of millions of people.

Moreover, this is still a rough estimate.

In fact, at the beginning of the war, it was the Hutus who massacred the Tutsi.

Later, Tutsi armed forces fought back.

After this, another wave of massacres broke out.

After all, tit for tat makes perfect sense.

It's just that because the entire Rwanda was close to national collapse at that time, detailed data could not be collected at all.

The millions of people that can be counted are just the number of Tutsi deaths.

This was at that time when the Tutsi were closer to civilized society, and the relevant demographics were more accurate.

As for the Hutu, there is no such statistics.

But there was definitely a lot of carnage.

It’s just that the international community doesn’t want to report too much on such things.

This will make the world condemn the United Nations even more.

Therefore, the figure of one million people killed in the Holocaust was set.

"Since you asked, I can tell you the truth." Clinton held up his wine glass. "The Black Hawk incident did have a great impact, but it is not the reason why I decided not to send troops to maintain peace."

The resistance of ordinary people has indeed had a great impact on American society.

But for a powerful regime, the influence of ordinary people is very limited.

Of course, in a society like the United States, people can vote you out during elections.

But you know, it's either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. Just campaign for people from these two parties.

No matter how you vote, the two parties are the same, there is no difference.

All for the elite.

When it comes to international events, no matter which party is in power, it will not care about the views and attitudes of the people at the bottom.

Therefore, the Clinton administration could send troops at that time.

"I'm very interested!" Lin Feng looked curious.

"Because of profit!" Clinton said with a smile.

"Profit?" Lin Feng was puzzled.

"Did the Rwandan genocide affect you?" Clinton asked.

Lin Feng shook his head.

During the 1994 Rwanda genocide, Lin Feng had just returned from rebirth. At that time, I was thinking about how to restart my life.

The Rwanda genocide has nothing to do with me.

Don't talk about millions of people dying, even if tens of millions of people die, I don't care.

Even if the entire country is destroyed, he doesn't care.

"It has nothing to do with the vast majority of the people in the world. No matter how many people die, it has nothing to do with the majority of the people in the world. The so-called humanitarianism, the so-called human rights organizations, etc., their concerns, I admit, some people really have God kind heart." Clinton said, "But will the vast majority care? Take a look and express an exclamation, that's all."

Qin Feng nodded.

What Clinton said is right.

"So, how many people they die has no impact on the outside world. But it does have an impact on the country." Clinton said, "Rwanda is located in central and eastern Africa, bordering Tanzania to the east, Uganda to the north, and Burundi to the south. Its geographical location, From an African perspective, it is very important.”

Qin Feng looked at the map.

I don’t quite understand what Clinton meant.

"Their riot was because the Hutu had a large number of people at first and attacked first, so they had an advantage. But in the end, the Tutsi had an advantage in economy and weapons, and they would eventually fight back." Clinton said, "And wait After the Hutu killed millions of Tutsi, there were not many Tutsi left. If they fight back at this time, they will definitely massacre the Hutu in turn. The Hutu will inevitably flee. They must be afraid of revenge. At that time, the Hutus who fled will inevitably flee to surrounding countries. This movement will affect the entire Africa."

Clinton took a sip of wine.

"Then, because of the huge influence of public opinion, we sent troops, no, not just us, but other countries sent troops, so they all had reasons to station more troops in Rwanda. At the same time, those Hutu who escaped could also be arrested in a legitimate manner. Naturally. , you have reason to enter more countries. Naturally, you can occupy more interests in more countries." Clinton said lightly, "Now is a civilized and democratic society. If you go to other countries for no reason, even small and poor countries, It will also be condemned by international public opinion. And this incident can solve everything."

"Everything is just profit. A population of one million is just a sacrifice to start the partition of Africa." Clinton put down his wine glass and walked away.
