    Lieutenant General Romeo Dallaire from Canada looked at the chaos in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, outside the UN peacekeeping force camp with a worried face, and couldn't help but sigh.  Dallaire is the commander of the UN peacekeeping force for Rwanda, but he has very few troops. After the withdrawal of the most elite Belgian peacekeeping force, he only has 300 people from Canada, Ghana, Tunisia, Bangladesh and other countries.  Soldiers left and right.  Compared with tens of thousands of militiamen and more mobs, they cannot have much effect at all.

    With these three hundred people, Dallaire was unable to command them to compete with the local militia and save the Tutsi and moderate Hutus who had been violated.  Moreover, the three hundred people came from different countries, and their enthusiasm for the whole incident was also different. Soldiers from many countries refused to participate in direct combat with local people, fearing that they would be attacked and thus harm themselves.

    "When will the reinforcements arrive?" Dallaire asked the staff officer next to him.

    The staff officer looked at his watch and said: "The Chinese said that they have organized a mechanized rapid response brigade, and the cooperation is in place with the 43rd Airborne Division and several Chinese Marine Corps units. They will attack Kigali. According to the instructions they gave us,  According to the approximate timetable, they should launch the attack in two hours. By this time, the main attack mechanized quick reaction brigade should have begun airborne somewhere outside Kigali. "

    Because the operation was progressing smoothly and Qi Yiming was considering ending this **** quickly, he increased the pressure again.  The mechanized quick reaction brigade dispatched this time will also be transported by the Air Force. It is actually a red alert unit, and its equipment is more complete than that of the hastily arrived airborne troops. Although it is unlikely that things like tanks will be transported immediately, this red alert unit  The police anti-counterattack brigade is equipped with many MIFV multi-functional infantry vehicles, and there are many models, including the air defense type of the Vulcan gun weapon station, the 105 assault gun type, and the common infantry combat type, which can meet a variety of combat needs.

    The entire Red Police Rapid Response Brigade is small in size, with only about 3,000 combatants. In addition, they also carry a large number of weapons and ammunition supply boxes, about a hundred MIFV multifunctional infantry vehicles of different modules and a large number of airborne assault vehicles, etc.  .

    From the perspective of African countries, this force is simply terrifying.  They were airdropped about forty kilometers away from Kigali and then briefly assembled.  Because the Rwandan garrison in Kigali basically has no ability to stop the Chinese's large-scale airborne landings, its air defense capabilities are almost non-existent, and there is no good way to face such a situation.  They simply don't understand how to launch a surprise attack to reverse the disadvantage before China's airborne quick reaction brigade has completed its assembly.  This is also due to their limited organizational capabilities.

    When the rapid reaction brigade completed its emergency assembly, it immediately launched an offensive towards Kigali, the capital of Rwanda and the home base of the extremist government.  Cooperating with their actions were the Chinese airborne troops and marines who had arrived in Rwanda earlier. Some of them came from hundreds of kilometers away, riding in animal-drawn vehicles or even walking.  Being able to maintain strong combat effectiveness in such a harsh battlefield environment is awe-inspiring for such soldiers.

    The Rwandan government forces still carried out some resistance in Kigali. They set up roadblocks, barricades and other defensive measures to prevent the Chinese troops from entering Kigali, but the 105mm assault guns equipped by the Red Police Rapid Response Brigade fired directly.  The firepower easily blasted anything in their way to smithereens.  The fierce Hutu militiamen in the past were all silent after seeing such a real war scene. Some even dropped their weapons and ran for their lives without firing a gun.

    Fighting against this group of militiamen and the government troops who were almost militiamen had no technical content, and they did not have a tenacious will to fight. Even after their morale collapsed, no one dared to hide aside and fire cold shots, but ran for their lives barefoot.  .  Kigali became chaotic, and the squadrons were attacked from three directions. The armored troops of the quick reaction brigade also advanced very fast, and it did not look like they were advancing in the city at all.

    Knowing that the situation was over, the Hutu-dominated Rwandan government hurriedly left the government buildings, either surrounded by bodyguards and soldiers, or simply disguised themselves as civilians and tried to escape.

    Soon the Red Alert Rapid Response Brigade joined forces with the United Nations Rwanda Rescue and Peacekeeping Force in a closed area in Kigali.  Canadian Lieutenant General Dallaire was extremely excited. He walked out of the military camp and held the hand of the commander of the rapid reaction brigade. He said warmly: "Thank God, thank you. Your arrival has saved countless lives. I express my most sincere appreciation for your righteous actions."  of admiration and praise!¡±

    This Canadian Army Lieutenant General from Quebec is also a legend in another aspect.  When he took over as chief of the peacekeeping force in early 1994, he saw that the Rwandan government was preparing to cleanse the Tutsi and submitted a report to the United Nations.  After the massacre actually broke out, the United States and other Western countries had no intention of supporting the qinUnder the command of g ku¨¤ng, he led only 300 peacekeeping troops to deal with the Hutu government in Kigali and controlled the main refuge areas of the Tutsis. In the end, when the Tutsi-dominated Rwanda Patriotic Front captured the capital Kigali,  When Galli ended the massacre, he and his peacekeepers saved more than 20,000 refugees, a modern-day Shawshank.

    "It's just that for such a man who is praised for his good deeds, he is ranked 16th among the greatest Canadians in Canada. The Americans gave him a Medal of Honor, but there is no greater honor.  On the contrary, such as a certain sunspot who bombed seven countries for six years, an "intellectual" who claimed to colonize China for three hundred years, a monk who controlled the **** of his followers after exile, can all obtain the Nobel Peace  Award, but looked down upon the Canadian.

    Dallaire looked at the scene of the majestic armored troops driving through the city and expelling the extremist militias and government troops, and murmured: "This nightmare is finally over!"

    Although the entire massacre only lasted a few days, it was like a nightmare for Dallaire who was immersed in the scene.  He witnessed the slaughter of innocent lives, the humiliation of young women, the ferocious blood and fire, and the ugliness of human nature, but he was unable to make much change at all.  I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the Chinese troops stationed in Kigali today. Although it was not him who stopped this massacre, whoever stopped it should be praised.

    In the end, none of the Hutu's main government officials and cabinet ministers escaped. Even those mixed among civilians were eventually identified. They will be tried in The Hague as war criminals.  Although the International Court of Justice in The Hague has limited influence on China, Qi Yiming feels that there is no need to fight for everything. Sooner or later, those international organizations that so-called uphold justice will gradually be dominated and influenced by China.

    China sent troops to Rwanda to save the humanitarian crisis in order to expand Zi Ji¡¯s reputation. When this reputation and image rise to a certain level, it can naturally spread to more fields.

    After the Chinese Communist Army occupied Kigali and disbanded the Hutu-dominated extremist government, they also shut down the extremist radio station that played a large role in promoting the massacre. The Chinese Communist Army seemed to have transformed into a gendarmerie.  and law enforcement teams, in Kigali and other areas of Rwanda, conducting a large-scale search for those who were directly responsible for the massacres and executors. These people are not high enough, but they will never go unpunished and will accept the new government's  Judgment and Punishment.

    Paul Kagame, the leader of the Rwandan Patriotic Front, rushed to Kigali and met with Chinese Lieutenant General Fang Zhongcheng and the commander of the United Nations peacekeeping force, Lieutenant General Dallaire.  In the original dimension, although the United Nations sent peacekeeping forces, mainly French troops, during the middle and late stages of the massacre, the most important force to end the massacre was the Tutsi armed forces led by Kagame.

    However, at this time, most of Rwanda was controlled by the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and the Chinese People's Liberation Army was also authorized by the United Nations. Kagame did not dare and did not have the ability to drive the Chinese away, so he could only stay with his smiling face.  Come and discuss with the Chinese how to deal with the aftermath.  And Fang Zhongcheng was not stupid. In order to show his neutral position, he invited Commander Dallaire, who represented the United Nations peacekeeping force.

    "Our country upholds the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and is not interested in interfering in Rwanda's internal affairs. But if Rwanda needs assistance from China in the process of national reconstruction and restoration of political order, China is bound to do so and is willing to assist." Fang Zhongcheng said.

    How could Kagame be so ignorant? He quickly said: "Chinese friends have contributed a lot in the action of saving our country and the innocent people of our nation. Our people highly respect the high integrity of the Chinese government and army. The friendship between Rwanda and China has been long-lasting."  Tianchang, we are also extremely grateful to China for helping us in post-war reconstruction, and we are also willing to deepen cooperation with China in many aspects!¡±

    Kagame is also a very smart person. He glanced at Dallaire and said: "The rebuilt Rwanda hopes to develop bilateral relations with all friendly countries in the world, and is in urgent need of support and help from all countries."

    Although Dallaire is grateful to the Chinese for rescuing this humanitarian disaster, he also has mixed feelings about the situation in which the Chinese continue to operate in Africa.  Even though Dallaire is not an American, he is still a soldier trained under relatively traditional Western values. The rise of China will inevitably lead to the "democracy, freedom and human rights" he traditionally insisted on being gradually respected by China and proven to be true.  Replace values ??that have made a significant contribution to national and social development.

    It¡¯s just that at this moment, neither Fang Zhongcheng nor Kagame cares about Dallaire¡¯s complicated mood. They still have a lot of work to deal with.  Kagame needs to be in power and the Chinese need to have a pro-China government here.  It can be regarded as hitting it off.
