Chapter 266 Assassination(2/2)
For him who has always paid attention to health and maintenance, this is undoubtedly a dangerous signal.
If this continues, I am afraid that I will die suddenly before the Congress takes action against me.
The problem in Sudan must be resolved as soon as possible.
As long as the revolutionary front reaches Khartoum, he will be able to relax completely.
Thinking of this, he asked:
"How are the negotiations with Hamidi going? Does he agree with the plan we proposed?"
The assistant opposite shook his head slightly and replied:
"No."
"Hamidi's attitude is very determined. He not only wants equipment, but also personnel."
"According to what he said, the equipment we have now provided has reached the upper limit of the capabilities of the armed personnel in North Darfur."
"They can operate artillery, guns and individual missiles, but if they are allowed to operate radars, drones, or even fighter jets and helicopters, it would be pure delusion."
"In fact, I think his view is indeed right - without comprehensive technical training, even the latest equipment will not play its due role in their hands."
"On the contrary, these equipment are likely to fall into the hands of Sudanese officials due to defeat, causing the risk of technical leaks."
"You know, Sudanese officials are now very close to the Chinese people. When they get the equipment, it means the Chinese people get the equipment."
After hearing the assistant's words, Houston couldn't help but frown.
Technical Training?
Staff support?
Isn't this just trying to drag yourself into trouble?
You know, the mere import of arms can be regarded as a "pure commercial act", but if one's own technical personnel appear on that land, the meaning will be completely different.
——
Even one's staunchest ally must put a question mark on such an action.
"At a time when the world economic crisis is raging, you still have the desire to start a war everywhere?"
"The Middle East is not enough, and now we have to open up a battlefield in Africa?"
"At least there is oil in the Middle East. Everyone can understand the need to protect the economy. But what does Africa have?"
There is no doubt that such a question will definitely appear on the table of Congress, and later, I will definitely be questioned by Congress because of it.
The stakes are high.
Not just economic risks, but military and diplomatic risks.
But the problem is, if they don't agree to Hamidi's request, they will really cower in that poor place in North Darfur and stand still.
A Chinese idiom popped into Houston's mind for no apparent reason:
It's hard to get off a tiger.
He has always found this word very vivid.
Riding on the back of a tiger, maybe as long as you seize an opportunity, you can kill the tiger.
But if you try to come down halfway, your final fate may be to be eaten by a crazy tiger.
——
Be sure not to fall down.
No matter what the price is.
Thinking of this, he said:
"They want technology, then we will give them technology."
"Go and communicate with Guolou and ask them to send military advisers to provide guidance."
"You can go through Blackwater's channel, but don't end up personally. At least in form, we can't be too blatant."
"clear."
The assistant nodded and recorded Houston's request in his notebook.
"Since we agree to personnel assistance, will the previously determined arms export plan also need to be changed?"
"What's the current plan?"
Houston asked.
"Two Avenger radar air defense systems need to be equipped with SVML devices, equipped with AN/VRC-91 radio stations, and carry 32 Stinger missiles."
"Four Black Hawk helicopters - they want AH-64s, but we can't give them that."
"Two F-15 fighter jets, including simple ground command system."
"Fortunately, the asking price is not too high."
"really."
The assistant nodded again.
"If you look at the equipment itself, their demands are actually very restrained, and they target the current combat shortcomings of the Revolutionary Front organization."
"The air defense system solves the problem of penetration by official armed helicopters, the Black Hawk helicopter solves the problem of reconnaissance and rapid support, and the F-15 fighter jet pursues the ability to control the air within a small range."
"These things are necessary to attack Khartoum - we even plan to add some additional drones to help them carry out long-range strikes."
"However, having said that, the equipment itself is not expensive, but with our technical support it becomes expensive."
"yes."
Houston couldn't help but sigh.
For our own motherland, the price of military equipment is simply not worth mentioning.
A piece of mature equipment is just a quick product on the assembly line.
The only things that are truly valuable are people.
Perhaps, we should also charge some interest to Darfur.
——
Interest in addition to the debt of "Occupying Khartoum".
After thinking for a moment, he said:
"There is a reporter from China who is currently in the camp of the Revolutionary Front in North Darfur. Do you know about this?"
"I know."
"Liu Guangyu, he leaked the news about the Revolutionary Front operation to the Chinese side - he was supposed to be dealt with, but because of the threat from the Chinese side and the operation had been canceled, he is still living well now."
"However, the Revolutionary Front monitors him very closely, and he should no longer pose any threat."
"No."
Houston interrupted the assistant and continued:
"His presence is a threat."
"We, the Revolutionary Front, must deal with him."
"Why?"
The assistant's eyes widened in surprise.
"This is not a necessary action, and it cannot affect our plan, but if we take action against him, it will cause greater risks. Is this really necessary?"
A sinister smile appeared on Houston's face. After a moment of pause, he replied:
"Yes, this is indeed not a necessary action."
"At least, it's not necessary for us."
"But for the Revolutionary Front, it is necessary."
“This is their ‘certificate of surrender’.”
"Certificate of Voting?"
The assistant subconsciously repeated the strange last syllable.
He wasn't as keen on studying his opponents as Houston was, so he didn't know the true meaning of the word.
"That's right, submit a certificate of name."
"You just said that Sudanese officials are very close to China, so we have to consider whether one day, Darfur will gradually get closer to them."
"We have to eliminate that risk."
"So, Liu Guangyu's death is not important."
"But whose hands he dies in is very important."
