Monday, April 18th.
While the entire United States was still discussing the multiple vicious incidents in the past week, an explosive news feature suddenly appeared on the Igret portal.
A racist massacre occurred in Rwanda, Africa. In ten days, it is conservatively estimated that more than 200,000 people were killed.
The special topic first introduces the background of the entire incident.
On April 6, the current president of Rwanda, Juvenal, who was of Hutu origin, was assassinated. The Hutu believed that the Tutsi, who had long been opposed to them in the country, assassinated their president. They were incited by the local media and clashed with the Hutu. With the cooperation of the armed forces, on April 7, a nationwide genocide against the Tutsi broke out in Rwanda, starting with the purge of the prime minister and other senior Tutsi officials.
In the special page, the Igret portal used a large number of pictures and videos to show the horrific scenes of the massacre.
In a Tutsi-populated area in the north of Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, civilians covering several square kilometers were intensively purged by Hutu militants.
In the aerial video footage shown on the Yigrit portal, all buildings in large residential areas were burned down, and thick smoke was still billowing from many places.
However, the most shocking picture is the huge mass grave that has not been seen since World War II. In a three-kilometer-long river, countless corpses are densely packed in it, including the elderly, women, At least 30,000 corpses, including children, completely blocked the river, and the surrounding river water was dyed a shocking dark red.
The areas hardest hit by the massacre in eastern and southern Rwanda are full of burned villages, dead bodies and civilians running for their lives.
In a candid video shot from the rooftop of a hotel in Kigali, the capital, militants herded hundreds of civilians into a narrow alley like cattle. After shooting, the thugs simply rushed into the crowd with machetes and killed the survivors indiscriminately. After a thug chopped off the head of a poor woman, he laughed and picked up the head with a long stick, showing it off to his companions. The dead headless lady was still holding a poor woman in her arms. of the baby's body.
In a small town that was burning everywhere, a group of humanitarian rescue team members searched for half an hour in the ruins strewn with corpses, but found nothing.
A young white girl in her twenties in the rescue team tried to save a little black girl who had been shot in the chest and had only the remaining breath left. After being unsuccessful, she fell to her knees in exhaustion, covered her face with a cry, and murmured as if she had collapsed. Said: "Oh my god, my god, this is simply hell, who can stop this?"
Right above the news of the collapse of the white girl on the humanitarian relief team and the voice of the humanitarian relief team, the headline is a resolution passed by the United Nations on April 10, the fourth day after the massacre. It was announced that in order to avoid being involved in Rwanda's internal war, most of the 1,500-person peacekeeping force in Rwanda will be withdrawn, and only 260 peacekeeping members will be retained symbolically to mediate disputes.
Belgium, the former colonial master of Rwanda, immediately withdrew all Belgian troops stationed in Rwanda and all expatriates after the massacre.
France, which has deep-rooted forces in Africa and is fully capable of stopping all this from happening, also chose to sit on the sidelines this time.
In fact, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts with the French government, one thing that the Igret Portal did not clarify is that in the past decade or so, in order to compete with the Tutsi forces supported by Belgium for regional control, the Rwandan Hutu Ethnic armed forces have always received financial assistance and military training from the French government.
The tragedy of this massacre is inextricably linked to the French government.
In order to attract the attention of the international community in the shortest possible time, the Igret Portal issued a special statement on the official homepage, announcing that it would give up the copyright of all press releases, pictures and videos in the Rwanda Genocide news topic, and any media can do so without Reprint freely with permission.
Relying on the global influence of Igret Portal, in just a few hours, the news about the genocide in Rwanda spread all over the world, shocking the world!
Many TV media immediately carried out large-scale reports, and countless mainstream newspapers in various countries also made the news of the Rwandan Genocide the front page of today's evening newspaper or tomorrow's morning newspaper. The governments of major countries in the world and the United Nations have responded to this incident. issued a statement calling on the Rwandan military to stop the killings.
The United Nations, which has been criticized by many media for its inaction in this incident, even held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.
In the United States, almost all the public's attention has been attracted by the massacres in Africa in a short period of time. Last week's Woodfield Manor bombing in Pittsburgh attracted significantly less public attention.
This turn of events even made the FBI task force breathe a sigh of relief, because, based on the clues they had on the surface, there was no way to find out more except for the former Monroeville Machinery Company employee who carried out the bombing. The top brass of the FBI do know some inside information, but in the absence of evidence, even the federal government cannot rashly point the finger at a super-rich man with a net worth of US$200 billion.
Now, the nation's attention has been drawn to Africa, and the FBI can quietly settle the case after public opinion cools down.
On the other hand, the Westeros system has no intention of just sitting back and ignoring this matter.
The incident has been fermenting for a day. In the evening of that day, a piece of heavyweight news appeared on the headline of Igrit Portal again: Simon Westeros will personally do whatever it takes to stop this race that should not happen in the human civilized world. Massacre tragedy.
"Um?"
The doubts that flashed in their minds were probably the first reaction of many readers when they saw this news.
However, people with keen intuition have already discovered clues.
The whole country of Rwanda is in chaos, and even foreigners may encounter unexpected events. How did the Igret Portal enter the riot area and collect so many pictures, videos and other news content from the scene
This is obviously the Westeros system that has begun to enter the game in advance.
However, even after seeing this, the public is still curious about how Simon Westeros plans to personally prevent the spread of massacre. Is he issuing a call for peace like governments of various countries
Immediately afterwards.
The Igret portal, which stopped live video broadcasting after the London Girls live broadcast ended at the end of March, reopened the live broadcast page.
The live broadcast camera first swept across a vast lake from the air.
In the background introduction of the host, this is Lake Kivu, which covers an area of several thousand square kilometers and is located at the junction of western Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
At some point, a vast cleared camp appeared on the shores of Lake Kivu. From an aerial perspective, the south side of the camp is a row of neatly constructed temporary barracks. The audience can also see armed helicopters and armored vehicles surrounding the barracks. There is even a simple airstrip about three kilometers long near the area.
This is apparently a makeshift military base.
The camp area on the north side of the military base is densely packed with scattered but orderly refugees. From the air, the total number of refugees is at least 100,000.
Along with the live footage, the host continued to introduce the audience.
After the Rwandan genocide broke out, sensing that governments including the United Nations were watching indifferently, Simon Westeros immediately hired 2,000 armed soldiers from a military outsourcing company in his own name to establish a temporary shelter camp on the shores of Lake Kivu to receive people from Rwanda. Tutsi refugees who escaped from various places.
At this time, more than 120,000 civilians have gathered in the refugee camp in the northern part of the camp.
The host also said that after the next phase of the layout is completed, the refugee camps will take the initiative to air-drop asylum leaflets across Rwanda and guide more Tutsi refugees who are still in the haze of massacres to gather at the shores of Lake Kivu. Westeros refugees The battalion's armed team will take the initiative to clear an escape route for the refugees.
When the audience was curious about Simon Westeros' next stage of layout, the live broadcast host returned to the ground through a helicopter tour of the Westeros refugee camp for a week and gave a general explanation, followed by an armed soldier. After saying a few words, the host and assistant hurriedly brought the live broadcast equipment to the temporary airstrip inside the camp.
Just a few minutes later, amidst the increasingly louder roar, the live broadcast camera turned to the sky, and a huge gray transport plane fell from the sky.
Some viewers with military interests recognized it immediately as an IL-76 transport aircraft.
The IL-76 of the former Soviet Union.
WTF!
Especially for viewers in the United States, the first question is, why not the US military, why not Hercules
When the IL-76 landed smoothly, the cabin opened, and hundreds of armed soldiers poured out of the cabin. Just based on the appearance and words of these soldiers, the audience could recognize that they were Slavs from Eastern Europe without any introduction. Soldier.
It might even be the Soviet Red Army, which was still confronting the United States a few years ago.
As a result, countless 'WTF' words appeared in front of the live broadcast screen again.
Simon Westeros, are you finally revealing your true identity
As if feeling the doubts of the tens of millions of viewers in front of the computer screen, the host finally spoke up again after more than ten minutes of silence, explaining that these were retired soldiers recruited by the Westeros Company from Ukraine and other countries in Eastern Europe. The main reason why they did not choose to recruit in North America was because they were worried that they would not be able to obtain approval and military support from federal authorities in the short term. At this stage, tens of thousands of civilians are being killed every day in Rwanda, and they have no time to wait.
The host's explanation was obviously prepared for a long time.
In front of the live video, which had already exceeded 30 million viewers in just half an hour, many people accepted this explanation, but some viewers probably understood the deeper reasons.
In addition to political factors, Simon Westeros did not choose the military force of the United States, and there may be cost reasons.
As we all know, the US military is expensive!
Even if you recruit retired soldiers, the price is definitely much more expensive than the Eastern European soldiers who are willing to work hard to survive in the current economic downturn.
that's the truth.
Before carrying out this operation, Westeros Company had contact with military outsourcing companies such as MPRI in the United States. The quotation given by the other party was US$15 million per 1,000 soldiers, considered weapons and equipment, per month, and the casualty pension was also It needs to be borne by the Westeros Company, and the compensation amount for each fallen soldier is 200,000 US dollars.
This is simply slaughtering a fattened sheep.
The first batch of 2,000 mercenaries from the South African EO company stationed on the shores of Lake Kivu also provided their own weapons, including helicopters, armored vehicles and other equipment, but the monthly quotation was only US$8 million. Although Westeros Company is also required to bear the death benefit, the amount is only $80,000.
The latest batch of Eastern European mercenaries, mainly recruited from Ukraine, totals 3,000 people. Because there is no mature local military outsourcing company to take the lead, these soldiers all signed separate contracts, with a monthly salary of 500 per person. US dollars, and the death benefit is US$50,000.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine's economy has been even more miserable than Russia's. In just a few years, domestic GDP has only been reduced to two-thirds of what it was before the collapse of the Soviet Union, a full 30% drop.
Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers who once belonged to the Soviet Red Army were forced to retire after Ukraine became independent because the government was unable to support the expensive military expenditure. At this stage, the average monthly income of Ukrainian residents is only a pitiful 30 US dollars, and most people cannot even afford food and clothing. solve.
Therefore, when the Westeros Company issued a recruitment notice in Ukraine, offering a monthly salary of US$500, there were more than 100,000 applicants in just one week. Many former Soviet officers even brought their established soldiers to seek this job. . At some point, Simon even felt that he could rally a team in Ukraine to overthrow the government and establish a new country.
Of course just thinking about it.
We don’t have the energy to do this kind of thing, and this recruitment also requires the cooperation of the Ukrainian government authorities.
3,000 elite veterans of the former Soviet Union, all between the ages of 28 and 35, receive a monthly salary of US$500. The combined monthly salary expenses are only a mere US$1.5 million. Of course, this time Westeros companies are required to provide weapons, equipment and logistical supplies for these soldiers.
In order to obtain the green light from the Ukrainian government as soon as possible, Simon placed a one-time military equipment order of up to 50 million U.S. dollars. This amount of money was definitely a very considerable income for Ukraine, whose total foreign trade exports in 1993 were less than 1 billion U.S. dollars. .
50 million U.S. dollars of military equipment, including 12 Mi-24 armed helicopters, 60 light armored vehicles suitable for African jungle operations, and a large number of howitzers, rockets, and infantry individual weapons and other equipment. Among them, 12 Mi-24 armed helicopters are completely sold by the Ukrainian military in a clearance sale. Even if they are second-hand helicopters that have been in service for many years, the unit price of US$2 million is a big bargain for Simon.
You know, the Mi-24 armed helicopter was a secret weapon that was strictly embargoed by Western countries during the former Soviet Union. In the 1980s, the United States went through a lot of research to obtain a Mi-24 armed helicopter.
A formation of 12 armed helicopters served as air support in conjunction with 3,000 ground troops, which was enough to sweep through Rwanda's less than 50,000 local troops.
There is actually precedent for this.
The South African EO Company implements this kind of combat model in various African countries.
However, this time, in order to save costs as much as possible, the 2,000 mercenaries of the South African EO Company will only be stationed at the Westeros camp to be responsible for security work, and all active missions will be handled by Eastern European mercenaries.
After this operation is over, all these weapons and equipment will naturally belong to the Westeros Company.
They will also include some Eastern European mercenaries.
In the following hours, tens of millions of viewers in front of countless computer screens around the world continued to see various Soviet-made transport aircraft unloading as many as 3,000 former Soviet Red Army soldiers and a large number of armed helicopters, armored vehicles and other equipment. Travel to Westeros Camp on the shores of Lake Kivu in Rwanda.
Seeing this situation, neither the United Nations, the interim government of Rwanda, governments around the world, nor the media around the world that control public opinion can no longer calm down.
Obviously, Simon Westeros plans to launch a war against a sovereign country on his own without authorization from any party!
