Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

Chapter 561: Somalia, the lion’s mouth: the United States is tempted to kill

"Damn it, it's absolutely impossible to agree to these conditions..."

United States, White House.

Because of the incident in Somalia, public opinion in the United States has exploded in the past two days. Since the end of the Vietnam War, the United States has not been so slapped in the face.

Now, in small Somalia, so many people have been killed and so many people have been captured. This is like a hunting dog digging out the anus of a tiger. How can this be tolerated?

After the incident happened, the United States immediately sent negotiators.

Now Aidid finally made a condition, but this condition made Clinton furious.

Not just Clinton, but everyone in the room.

What is a lion's mouth? Aidid is now a lion's mouth.

First of all, all US troops are withdrawn from Somalia, and the United States can no longer fund the interim government of Somalia.

It is impossible for the United States to agree to this alone. Are you kidding? Somalia is such an important place. Just because of these more than a thousand people, the United States is forced to completely withdraw from Somalia and abandon the overall situation. This is simply a joke.

The subsequent compensation was even more open-mouthed. The total amount of compensation demanded by Aidid exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

Let’s look at Aidid’s reason for compensation. For a Somali soldier who was killed, Aidil directly offered a pension of millions of dollars.

A building destroyed by the United States costs hundreds of millions of dollars. He also said that the United States had blown up infrastructure and the compensation was very high.

Aidid even paid for the mental damages of the Somali people.

The total value exceeds 100 billion US dollars. Moreover, Aidid did not directly ask for U.S. dollars, but for supplies.

Find a third-party country, give the money to the third-party country, and then let the third-party country purchase supplies to give to Aidid.

These supplies include food, medicine, various building materials, machine tools, steel, and even weapons and equipment.

As a result, the United States will be even less able to give.

If these supplies are given to Aidid, Aidid will be able to completely win over the people in the area he controls with these supplies.

At that time, it will be equivalent to the United States' compensation directly raising Aidid.

"Has the source of Aidid's weapons been found out?"

Clinton asked darkly. The main reason why the US military suffered a big setback in Somalia this time was that Aidid had many advanced weapons in his hands.

What shocks the United States the most is that Aidid and the others actually have anti-tank missiles. According to current intelligence, these anti-tank missiles may be Javelin anti-tank missiles that have not yet been officially put into service in the United States. This is the most terrifying thing. matter.

"Currently we have not made much progress, and our people cannot obtain more intelligence. The original intelligence system has completely lost contact, but what is certain is that Somalia has portable anti-terrorism missiles and anti-tank missiles. And The anti-tank missile is very similar to our Javelin. Judging from the information currently available, it is even identical. We suspect that there may be leaks and arms reselling within us. This batch of weapons is likely to come from our side. We are now. investigation……"

When the director of the Intelligence Bureau finished talking about this, everyone looked extremely ugly.

Damn it, the Javelin anti-tank missile that has not yet been officially put into service in the United States has been used by Somali armed forces. The target of the attack was the most advanced main battle tank in the United States.

This time the US military industry suffered heavy losses, especially the Black Shadow and M1A1 tanks. In the past, these two pieces of equipment were weapons and equipment that many countries could not even buy.

Now, many countries that originally planned to purchase these two weapons and equipment at high prices have suddenly become less interested.

No matter how good the data of the weapon is in actual combat, it is all in vain. You boasted about the Black Hawk so much, but in the end, Somalia killed more than a dozen of them with the Stinger. You said your tanks were awesome, but the Somali armed forces used anti-tank missiles to kill one of your tank battalions.

How is this a land overlord? This is simply a walking coffin. How can you sell such weapons and equipment?

In this world, no matter how advanced the weapons and equipment are, once they are destroyed, their value will immediately plummet. For example, the American stealth fighter F117 was quickly eliminated after one was shot down in Yugoslavia.

The same goes for other weapons. Now that the black hawk and m1a1 have been destroyed, it will be difficult to sell these two weapons in the future.

"Everyone, tell me, what's the next step?"

Clinton asked directly.

"Mr. President, we definitely cannot agree to this condition, and we cannot compensate for it. There is no choice in this matter. Aidid must die..."

An old man said directly, and Clinton took a deep breath after hearing this.

"Are there no other options?"

Clinton doesn’t want to fight a war. After all, his campaign profile was all about the economy.

"Mr. President, this is related to the international status of our United States, and it is also related to our strategic layout, which cannot be changed..."

The old man said directly.

Although Clinton is the president of the United States, in fact, in the United States, the president cannot make the final decision on many major issues. Those who really call the shots are the top plutocrats behind the United States. They are the real emperor of the United States, and the president is just the chief minister elected by them.

"Everyone, if we take action against Somalia, do we have to ease our relationship with China? China's influence in Africa is not small..."

Clinton's words made everyone look a little ugly.

Originally, they were preparing to encircle China economically during this period, and they even detained Xu Huasheng in Canada.

Now that something like this suddenly happened in Somalia, if the United States takes action against Somalia, it needs to stabilize China first.

Otherwise, China will definitely be causing harm behind the scenes. Even if China is stabilized, there is no guarantee that China is not evil. But the United States cannot engage in a secret war with China while ending up in Africa.

What's more, although they detained Xu Huasheng during this period, they did not get the results they wanted.

Although Xu Huasheng is in Canada now, Huasheng Group is still active. Not only is it alive and well, Huasheng Group’s big price cuts have almost killed the U.S. semiconductor industry.

In a price war, American products are no match for Huasheng Group.

Now the Huasheng Group has flipped the table, implemented technology equality, and lowered product prices. This has made many European and American companies very sad.

When something fails to achieve its purpose, you must consider whether it is still necessary to do it.

Interests, the United States considers interests when doing things.

On one side is Somalia, which must end, and on the other is the Huasheng Group, which has no way of doing anything. Therefore, the United States must carefully consider the gains and losses, and even reconsider its relationship with China.

Although China is a big country, it is very poor after all. With China's current economy, it is too difficult and almost impossible to catch up with the United States. At least in the eyes of Clinton and others, it is almost impossible for China. Thinking of this, everyone seemed to have the answer in their hearts.
