Chapter 262 Reconnaissance airship—it’s a weather balloon

"what's the situation?"

In the office of Office 603, Chen Nian faced Chen Guo, who rushed over urgently, and asked in a confused tone.

"The situation has changed, and the US plan in Darfur is not as simple as we thought."

"They are not trying to cultivate a second Iraq or a second Syria there, but they are going to go one step further and directly bring the Revolutionary Front into power."

"Compared with the Bashir regime, Hamidi's governance philosophy is more radical, and the conflicts with Ethiopia and Egypt are more prominent."

"We judge that they want to use Sudan as a springboard to directly turn the entire Africa into the second Middle East."

Chen Guo did not make any detours and stated the superior's judgment straightforwardly.

After hearing his words, Chen Nian's brows immediately frowned.

Use Sudan as a springboard to plunge the entire Africa into chaos?!

Such a plan can no longer be described as vicious, it can even be said to be anti-humanity.

You know, Africa has never been in chaos.

After World War II and during the 1960s, the entire Africa was in chaos due to the national boundaries forcibly drawn by Western colonists.

Excessive control exceeds the capacity of society and leads to brittleness. Social disintegration due to differences among tribes and races. Various objective factors have hindered local development after the "African Independence Day".

Massacres and genocides can be seen everywhere, and frictions between countries are also extremely frequent.

It can be said that the reason why Africa currently lags far behind the development of other continents is largely due to the original colonizers.

But now, after decades, the situation in Africa has finally stabilized relatively, and countries have begun to seize the opportunity of large-scale investment to seek further development, and the United States has not let them go.

In order to maintain their hegemony, they did not hesitate to use the billions of people on that continent as bargaining chips.

The enemy's cold-bloodedness far exceeded his imagination

Chen Nian's heart couldn't help but beat a few times, and he quickly asked:

"What is our current plan? Do we have a response strategy?"

Chen Guo shook her head and replied:

"The news has just been received, and there is no confirmation yet."

"But judging from the current situation, there is a high possibility that the situation will get out of control."

"The Blue Helmets base in South Sudan has already responded, and they plan to try to contact the Revolutionary Front organization in North Darfur to obtain relevant intelligence."

"If the other party refuses to communicate or conceals its true intentions, then they may use unconventional means - mainly drone reconnaissance."

"In addition, superiors have also sent a note to the United States, asking them to explain the source of the arms."

"But obviously, such a note will not achieve any of the results we want."

"The main issue being discussed by superiors now is how we can suppress the situation if the most extreme situation occurs."

"After all, they have already begun to attack our fundamentals."

“The ‘each against his own’ strategy that we have always used has completely failed.”

"There are only two paths we can take: either give in or confront head-on."

"Is there no room for mediation?"

Chen Nian asked.

"No."

"As long as they are determined to support the revolutionary front, and there is not a big gap in the strength of the two sides, the government forces will have no way to fight against them."

"Where's Egypt? Where's Ethiopia?"

This is the last solution Chen Nian can think of.

It is true that if the forces of other countries are introduced into the conflict in Sudan, the final situation will undoubtedly lead to a proxy war.

However, it is better to fight a proxy war than to directly participate in the confrontation with China.

At least, that would give us some buffering time.

And as long as you have time, you can rely on one or two technological achievements that transcend the times and quickly reverse the passive situation.

——

This is a very simple reason.

Commercial nuclear fusion has been developed, are you still in the mood for war?

In the face of inexhaustible resources, fighting for a little bit of oil is like a joke.

Therefore, time is very important to China.

Even if we can only get three to five years, it will be enough.

After hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo shook her head seriously.

"impossible."

"Neither Egypt nor Ethiopia has any intention of getting involved in the Darfur conflict."

"On the contrary, they want the turmoil in Darfur to become more intense so that they can profit from it."

"At a time like this, it would be too fanciful for us to try to convince them to act as our spokesperson."

"In addition, to take a step back, proxy war is also an extremely dangerous strategy, and it is impossible for superiors to agree to it."

"Then there's nothing we can do?"

Chen Nian looked a little disappointed.

Since the founding of this country, the rule of "non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries" has been written in its diplomatic code.

Over the past few decades, we have indeed followed this principle.

Such "duty" and "rule-abiding" behavior has won us many friends and also brought opportunities for rapid development, but now

What if one day, this rule conflicts with the development of the country?

Chen Nian felt an unprecedented contradiction.

Chen Guo on the side noticed Chen Nian's expression and her heart tightened subconsciously.

He looked directly into Chen Nian's eyes and said:

"Don't be too eager for quick success!"

"Xiao Nian, I know what you are thinking."

"Yes, if we are like the United States now, letting go of our hands and activities in Africa, then based on the comparison of our strength with that of the United States in Africa, we may not really suffer."

"But the question is, have you thought about the future?"

"Some things once started, there is no going back."

"When we are forced to tie our interests to a certain country, although we will reap benefits in the short term, the backlash will definitely not be small."

Hearing this, Chen Nian sighed heavily.

Yes, how could he not understand this truth himself?

In fact, our opponent is a typical representative.

They play the role of "world police" unscrupulously, but in the process of enforcing the law everywhere, the forces "being enforced" are constantly resisting them.

Perhaps now, such resistance has not yet formed a climate.

But what about the future?

Who can tell clearly

We can't follow in their footsteps.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian said:

"I understand what you mean."

"But the problem is, we don't really seem to have any other options."

"This is not something you should consider in the first place."

Chen Guo interrupted Chen Nian mercilessly.

"You are the core of Xinghuo and the technical core of the entire China."

"Your energy should be focused on technology research and development - not on these things."

"Of course, I will still share this news and intelligence with you, but the purpose is not to let you come up with solutions, but to provide you with a reference."

"So, there's only one thing I can tell you."

"Don't worry, focus on your technology, we will solve other problems."
