    In East Africa, war has always affected this region. Except for a few countries that can maintain general peace, other countries are in the midst of serious civil wars. There are two typical examples, Somalia and Sudan.  And these two examples are of special significance now, because the two major powers in the world are playing a big game of chess here. These two countries are their chessboards. They each preside over peacekeeping operations in one country.  The good situation of a country is entirely a matter of their skill and face.

    Somalia is home to various warlords and careerists who are ignorant and barbaric. They rob humanitarian supplies sent by the United Nations and continue to burn the flames of war on the heads of the people. Such unjust people will naturally be punished by the United States and its  Condemned by Western allies who claim to be democratic and free, and they do not think they will encounter too many difficulties in Somalia, the US military dispatched soldiers and joined peacekeeping forces from other countries to maintain order in the area and protect the people.

    The situation in Sudan is another matter. This country was originally two British colonies. The northern area was mainly dominated by Islam, and the southern area was mainly populated by indigenous people who believed in Christianity and primitive worship. After the two colonies were merged into one country,  , the northern Sudanese suppressed the south Sudanese, and after the discovery of large oil fields in South Sudan in the late 1970s, the northern Sudanese coveted this major economic benefit and tried every means to get into it.

    So in the early 1980s, a civil war broke out in Sudan. The cause was President Jafar Nimeiri's announcement to cancel southern autonomy and implement Sharia law in the south. This aroused resentment and dissatisfaction among the non-Muslim residents of the south, named John  ¡¤The southern colonel in Garang incited some black soldiers to rebel, launched a mutiny, and formed the Sudan People's Liberation Army to wage an armed struggle against the north.

    One characteristic of civil wars in Africa is that they often last for ten to twenty years. In fact, only a limited number of people died on the battlefield. More people died from contagion and famine. This civil war lasted for many years.  , in another dimension, it comes to an end with the independence of South Sudan after the 21st century.  To be precise, the civil war is over, because this is no longer a country, but the war between North and South Sudan has continued throughout the century, and disputes continue over interests such as oil fields and water sources.

    In fact, it is difficult for outsiders to comment on the civil war. Except for the United States, which likes to interfere in other people's internal affairs, the official statements of most countries often call for restraint and dialogue to solve problems.

    After the United Nations passed a resolution to deal with the civil war in Sudan, China led the multinational peacekeeping force into Sudan and began to mediate the civil war.  Qi Yiming also actively participated in it and infiltrated his power into Sudan.

    From the very beginning, when the Chinese peacekeeping troops entered Sudan, it didn¡¯t look like they were conducting any peacekeeping operations. China sent an army brigade of about 6,000 people into South Sudan. Different from ordinary peacekeeping troops, this army brigade was a fully mechanized force with all the equipment.  All of them are pLAR spoon main battle equipment, such as 99 tanks, 09 infantry combat equipment, etc., none of them are left behind, and even equipment with obvious offensive capabilities such as Wuzhi-10 is included.

    Not only that, the Chinese peacekeeping forces also brought a large-scale engineering force. When they entered South Sudan, they built prefabricated houses and camps and smoothed roads for local people. But how did they build a military airport?  With such a rhythm, the foreigners almost got drunk looking at the Chinese engineers who were so busy.

    More importantly, after the powerful Chinese troops entered the war zone, they began to control major transportation arteries. In fact, they separated the armed forces of northern and southern Sudan. This effect was of course very good, and the exchange of fire between northern and southern Sudan became increasingly fierce.  The less, because the Chinese are in the middle, they can't fight.  This will be an advantage for South Sudan. They can withstand the stronger North Sudan army and then grow stronger on their own territory.  However, if the South Sudanese want to cross the Chinese defense line and attack North Sudan, Chinese troops will stop them.

    This kind of action is certainly not what standard United Nations peacekeeping forces should do. Taking the initiative to seize traffic arteries and core facilities must be to actively attack the armies of North and South Sudan, which is something that the United Nations Security Council does not advocate.  However, the Chinese peacekeepers wearing blue helmets showed their initiative and quickly controlled the situation in just two weeks, greatly reducing the intensity of the war.

    This, of course, has also led to distorted reports by some Western media who are dissatisfied with China, believing that China is actually committing aggression in the name of peacekeeping.  In particular, the actions to take the initiative and build military airports and other military facilities are indeed a bit unreasonable.

    However, China acted like a little white rabbit and made no mistakes. Even when asked about this question at a regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the female spokesperson retorted righteously: "China  The peacekeeping force has played an important role in promoting peace and stability in Sudan. We urge all parties not to exaggerate the threat of China with ulterior motives and extend their evil and dirty psychology to others, and to do more useful things for the peace and stability of Sudan and the world, and less  Saying useless things.¡±

    ?Anyway, China has mastered the anger between North and South Sudan. Even if the two sides want to fight each other to death, they do not have the ability to do so. They use AK4 for transportation logistics and rely on livestock and soles, and they extremely lack heavy weapons.  It is absolutely impossible to build a Chinese peacekeeping force with a complete military, a complete confrontation system, and advanced and modern equipment.

    Because of this, North and South Sudan knew that it was impossible to continue the war, so they might as well continue the peace talks. Moreover, in view of China's fierceness, North and South Sudan jointly found China as a mediator to mediate the conflict between them.  Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qi Yiming released a large number of Red Alert spies and began to infiltrate into the official organizations of North and South Sudan, especially the South Sudanese regime that had not yet fully formed. Several people in power were replaced by Red Alerts.  Spies, and ordinary spies also start from the middle and lower levels and work their way up. It may not be long before South Sudan will continue to be controlled by China.

    The situation in North Sudan was not much different. Although the infiltration work was not as intensive as in South Sudan, Qi Yiming focused on the traditional mutiny route. He began to cultivate powerful factions and careerists in the North Sudan army, and then controlled them.  Overthrow the current Sudanese regime and gain power in North Sudan.

    In this way, when he meets, the largest country in East Africa will fall into his hands.  Sudan has a large population and rich resources. Although it is economically backward due to long-term war, with certain support and assistance, its economic development will not be much worse than that of countries such as Nigeria and Angola. Controlling this East African country has huge benefits, economically  Putting aside, the back side has a restraining power on Egypt, a major country in the Middle East. It is also located in the Red Sea, which makes it easy to strengthen its control in the Middle East. It also connects to the vast central Africa to the south, forming a radiation of influence.

    According to the talks between North and South Sudan in the capital, the two parties reached a preliminary agreement of intention. The two parties will enter into in-depth discussions and studies on issues such as national system and sovereignty. During the period, they will conduct a ceasefire and stop any violations against each other. The ceasefire will be carried out by  As a supervisor and observer, China has agreed to station a certain proportion of its troops in Sudan to monitor and prevent military actions by both parties.

    Although such an agreement has allowed the world to see the dawn of reconciliation in Sudan, many people still feel as uncomfortable as eating smelly flies.  Because how did the clause that the supervisory party station troops here come about? Is this supervision or the convenient acquisition of overseas bases?

    No matter what, China¡¯s establishment of a military base in Sudan, an East African country, has been finalized, and the air force base previously built in Gedarif has been officially put into operation.  If peacekeeping and ceasefire supervision had nothing to do with the navy, China would probably build another naval base in Port Sudan.

    But even so, China has built four military camps and an air force base in Sudan, plus two logistics supply centers. The scale is amazing. Although these facilities are relatively simple now, if they continue to be built, they will definitely become  A cluster of Chinese overseas military bases in East Africa has an important impact on the development of the situation in East Africa.

    Gedarif Air Force Base soon stationed two fighter aviation regiments of the Air Force, with a total of more than 50 fighter jets, including the J-9 Shadow Leopard and the J-10 Super Raptor. A fighter force of this size is enough for half of  Africa feels threatened.  In addition, a transport aviation division was transferred, as well as some auxiliary units such as reconnaissance and electronic intelligence.

    The army barracks are mainly used by peacekeeping forces stationed in Sudan. The goal is to be able to station more than 20,000 Chinese soldiers, and they are still being planned and constructed in an orderly manner.  The peacekeeping force in Sudan has even become a weapons testing ground for domestic military-industrial groups. Many companies have brought their own new equipment to the peacekeeping force for testing, so the army barracks also include some training facilities.

    The Chinese are letting their hands and feet go out of their way in Sudan, which makes the US military not far from here very nervous and urgent. Clinton, the owner of the White House, is very dissatisfied that the US military has not come up with any good measures against the warlords, and urges the military to achieve immediate results.  And it allows the United States to gain a fulcrum in Somalia to contain China.

    However, the commander of the peacekeeping force could only smile bitterly, because as an officer, he knew very well how much power China had invested in Sudan, and it was enough to fight a limited-scale war, but the United States really came as a peacekeeping force, no matter in terms of equipment.  Even in terms of numbers, they are not enough to complete Clinton's idea.

    After reflecting on the situation, Clinton gritted his teeth and decided to send more troops to Somalia.
