Chapter 633 What the hell do you want?

Tuesday, April 19.

Last night, the top executives of the major newspaper industry unions were entertained until very late. William Hirst III got up at seven o'clock in the morning.

There has really been no drowsiness recently.

Coming to the study, William III suppressed some kind of instinct from the bottom of his heart to resist opening an IBM computer on the desk. Igrid Portal homepage. Simon Westero will stop the Rwandan massacre in his own name. The news is still there. The most prominent position of the headline.

The Westeros system not long ago used the Hearst family's argument to instigate the American-Western War that year, but now it has begun to participate in the war in person.

Really hypocritical.

However, just after raising some moral balance bars, William Hirst III died in a blink of an eye.

Last Friday, William Hirst III, with the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, shut down the three Hearst Group newspapers that are facing lawsuits, and then began to encourage the group employees, industry unions and the federal government to counter the Westeros system. Lawsuit bombing against the Hearst Group.

However, the limelight of this incident was almost completely concealed by the Woodfield Manor explosion that occurred on the same day last week.

Through the family's deep-rooted political channels, William III vaguely heard that this may be related to Simon Westero, but unfortunately he failed to obtain any certain information and evidence, only as rumors.

I shut down three newspapers with a total value of more than $70 million, promised a bunch of benefits for trade unions, and used some of the family's most political connections. I originally wanted to re-hype this week, but the result was that Yesterday, the abominable upstart suddenly concocted the shocking news of the Rwanda massacre, and then put on a saint gesture to intend to maintain world peace in Africa.

This is... I didn't even care about the Hearst family.

200 billion versus 2.5 billion.

Even if a hundred are unwilling, the current William Hirst III has to admit that the strength gap between the Hirst family and Simon Westero is indeed very large, so large that it is related to the series of confrontations between the life and death of the Hirst family , Almost no impact on the expansion of the Westeros system.

If at first...

If you can reconcile...

The deepest heart in William III today is regret.

However, Simon Westeros has been an unyielding faction. The Hearst family's several consecutive direct or indirect transfers of reconciliation requests were rejected by the other party mercilessly.

Three newspapers were closed last Friday, which was originally thought to be able to win some initiative. The result was obviously in response. Just yesterday, while the Rwanda massacre was exposed, the Westeros system once again provoked the Hurst family. In three other lawsuits from three newspapers, the total amount of claims in the latest three lawsuits is not as high as the first instalment, but it has also reached US$120 million.

Only then did William Hirst III realize that he seemed to have made a faint move.

The Hearst Group cannot close the three most recently prosecuted newspapers because one of them is called the San Francisco Chronicle, and the West Coast heavyweight daily newspaper with a circulation of one million has a revenue volume of the first three newspapers. Ten times the sum, the newspaper itself is worth more than $800 million, and this newspaper alone is equivalent to one-third of the total market value of the Hearst Group.

Now, in six lawsuits, the total amount of claims reached 370 million US dollars, not to mention the final result, but only the legal fees. According to the assessment of the Hurst Group Legal Department, it needs at least 30 million US dollars every year. Half of the Westeros system expenditure,

Coupled with the all-round blockade of the Hester Group by the entire Westeros system, it can be said that if all disputes cannot be resolved as soon as possible, the Hearst Group will quickly decline in just a few years.

William Hirst III thought about these things in a complex mood, fingers unconsciously into the Rwanda Holocaust.

Among the latest important news, the first is the public statement of Rwanda’s acting President Theodore.

Theodore totally denied the Igret portal’s allegations of a racist massacre in Rwanda, saying that the Rwandan army was only paying off the anti-government armed forces.

The acting president also accused Simon Westero of seriously interfering in Rwanda’s internal affairs and was a kind of naked aggressive behavior, so he asked Westero to immediately withdraw from the army on Lake Kivu, otherwise he would lead the army Attacked the Westero refugee camp on the shore of Lake Kivu.

At the end of the statement, Theodore also turned his spearhead towards the US government, accusing the US government of manipulating the incident behind the scenes and stated that if the US government insists on acting alone, the people of Rwanda will allow the US military to re-experience the bitter fruits of the fall of the Somali black hawk last year.

idiot!

This was William Hirst III's first reaction after reading the statement of the acting president of Rwanda.

In William III's view, the only way out for the Rwandan government at this stage is to immediately stop the massacre and annihilate the evidence as much as possible, and then apply to get used to intervening with the muddy United Nations instead of confronting a lunatic.

Moreover, the idiot dared to threaten the United States.

The main cause of the fall of the Black Hawk in Somalia last year was that the United States did not dare to take large-scale military operations in consideration of the pressure of international public opinion, and it did not invest heavy firepower because of civilians.Even so, the U.S. military used more than one hundred troops to fight more than 6,000 Somali militias for 12 hours and killed thousands of people. It itself lost only 19 soldiers.

From a military perspective, this is not a failure in any case.

Now, a lawless bastard has summoned as many as 5,000 mercenaries, equipped with elite weapons no less than the US military, and at the same time occupying an absolute moral commanding height. How could it be like the US military last year because of all kinds of rules and regulations. Let a group of African wild monkeys take advantage?

Inexplicably angry, William III realized that his emotions were out of control, took a deep breath, shut off the statement page of the acting president of Rwanda, and re-visited the special homepage.

The United Nations also issued a statement at about nine o'clock in the evening of Eastern US time last night, once again calling on the Rwandan government forces to immediately stop the massacre of civilians, while directly calling on Simon Westero to exercise restraint.

France, which is entangled in the power of Africa, also participated.

A French Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson issued a statement a few hours ago at 9 a.m. local time on Tuesday, calling on the Rwandan government forces to stop the massacre of civilians, but also directed the finger at Simon Westero, criticizing this The behavior of a super rich is almost aggression, requiring the other party not to attack the Rwandan government forces without authorization, to avoid further complicating the regional situation.

On the other hand, it was the US government’s routine statement after yesterday’s Rwanda Holocaust news came to light.

After thinking about it for a while, William Hirst III felt that this might be an opportunity.

Simon Westero’s unauthorized actions have made too many people feel passive, the United Nations has lost its face, and other big countries that claim to be civilized and justice are also dull. What’s more, the kid avoided his own country and instead gathered The 3,000 former Soviet soldiers who were former US enemies are provocations.

The great United States cannot tolerate a lawless bastard all day long.In any case, it is time for everyone to join forces to severely restrict the expansion of the Westeros system.

Determined, William Hirst III picked up the phone and instructed his assistant to help him prepare a flight to Washington after breakfast.

Almost in the early morning, Simon was already in Washington.

Since he is in the United States, the foundation of the Westeros system is also here. Simon never thought of completely breaking away from all the rules around him and wantonly, so that he would only become an enemy of everyone.

This report of the Rwanda massacre unexpectedly diverted attention from the United States to various vicious incidents last week, especially the Woodfield Manor bombing that shocked the country. However, Simon had not actually thought about achieving this Purpose, because he has been laying out from an early age.

Raymond Johnston had previously reminded Simon that intervening in African affairs is likely to steal chickens and not kill rice.With regard to the Rwanda massacre, Simon had originally considered to stand idly by as many countries did, but in the end he had no choice.

Not out of sympathy, or anything.

The two worlds are human, and Simon’s heart is so cold that he can sit and watch the destruction of the world, not to mention the massacre and turmoil in a small African country thousands of miles away.

Just want to do it, just execute it.

And since it has to be done, it should be sharp and vigorous.

Of course, there are trade-offs in advance.

Simon does not intend to damage his own interests for this matter, nor will he let himself fall into the irreversible mud.

For Rwanda, this is a small country with a land area of ​​more than 20,000 square kilometers, which is only one percent of that of its neighbor, Congo, and there is no natural resource that can be easily coveted by others. The only advantage is probably The strategic position is more important, especially for France as a country with very important strategic significance.

France’s core interests in Africa are mainly concentrated in West Africa and North Africa. No matter in the historical evolution or in the current period, the countries of East Africa are all British spheres of influence, with Rwanda as the boundary. The west of Africa is mainly French-speaking countries, and the east is the English-speaking countries. , Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya and other countries bordering Rwanda or nearby are still members of the Commonwealth until now.

It can be said that by controlling Rwanda, France can covet the British traditional sphere of influence in Africa.

Therefore, by interfering with this genocide in Rwanda, the Westeros system will actually only offend the country of France. Once the Hutu regime in Rwanda is destroyed, France’s investment over the past decade or so will be destroyed. This traditional European The ambitions of the major powers to continue expanding east of Africa will also be destroyed.

In addition to this, Simon’s efforts to stop genocide in his own name may make many self-proclaimed justice nations and organizations faceless, but they will not really be hostile to these forces.

As for the current Rwandan government, Simon has never looked at it.

Now that the tragedy of genocide that completely violates humane ethics has been created, the current government can no longer be tolerated to survive.

What's more, even if it really persists, a group of African wild monkeys, Simon actually does not care.

However, suddenly a large number of mercenaries were summoned in Africa, always giving the government authorities on the Ming side an explanation, so Simon flew to Washington yesterday afternoon and was invited to have breakfast with the current Secretary of State Warren Christopher this morning.

Warren Christopher is nearly seventy years old this year, with a thin appearance and a spirited spirit.

In the information prepared in advance, Christopher is a moderate Democrat, and his diplomatic attitude tends to maintain the international reputation of the United States on a global scale as much as possible, limit the hegemonic thinking of the United States "world police", and mitigate the potential between the United States and other countries around the world. contradiction.

The Clinton administration's choice of Warren Christopher as Secretary of State was a buffered result of the need for the United States to change its previous confrontation and expansion posture after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Gulf War.

The US setback in Somalia last year suffered setbacks and decided to withdraw from the regional dispute, which has Warren Christopher’s foreign policy influence.

Although it is a moderate party of the Democratic Party, it does not mean that Warren Christopher is weak in character. At the beginning of breakfast, the American politician asked unkindly: "Simon, what the hell do you want?"

Simon didn't seem to feel the coercion of the veteran politician who had been in the high position since the time of President Carter. He slowly cut the fried eggs in the dinner plate and said: "Warren, you think that for a poor In countries where there are not enough pants per person, what can I get?"

Apart from the so-called strategic position that is meaningless to Simon, he is really unlikely to get anything from Rwanda.

Of course, in this operation, Simon did not really run to act as the savior, but the Westeros system is not pursuing pure material gains.Even if Africa has rich natural resources that many countries are coveted with, it is not attractive to Simon. If it is just to make money, he has more safer and rewarding investment channels.

Warren Christopher looked at the opposite youth, with the old man’s envy for the young Junyan hidden in his eyes, but his tone did not relax: "Do you know that the White House and Congress have been under pressure from all sides since yesterday, they They all think that this matter is manipulated by the US government behind the scenes."

Simon shrugged: "I can only say sorry about this."

This matter really cannot be explained at all.

Even if Simon completely set aside the United States and hired military forces from South Africa and Eastern Europe, in the eyes of many people, it was just to show its strength.

After all, for the United States, if it can control Rwanda, it is actually equivalent to controlling a strategic location that is sufficient to flash east and west.

After the failure of Somalia’s operation last year, the United States did not intend to intervene in African affairs in the short term. Many European countries that regarded Africa as their back garden did not think so. They only thought that the United States was not reconciled to Somalia’s failure and intended to pass. Simon's hand made a comeback in Rwanda.

As long as the strategic occupation of Rwanda in the hinterland of Africa is critical, the United States can covet the traditional interests of Africa in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Spain, and Portugal.

In fact, this is also a potential choice Simon gave the federal government through this operation.

For this operation in Rwanda, Simon did not intend to directly receive material rewards. However, if the US government is willing to accept follow-up affairs, he would not mind pushing the boat.

It now appears that the authorities have clearly made a decision.

If the federal government intends to re-engage in African affairs, it will be William Perry, Secretary of Defense, not Secretary of State Warren Christopher, who will meet Simon today.

Warren Christopher did not continue to fight with Simon, saying, "The White House was informed last night. Your garrison has already contacted the Rwandan Patriotic Front?"

Simon nodded.

The Rwandan Patriotic Front was an anti-government armed organization once controlled by the Tutsi forces that once controlled the Rwandan regime. Behind the scenes was the support of the Ugandan government. The Ugandan government stood behind the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom and the United States were the most hard-line allies.

Since 1990, the Rwandan Patriotic Front has been reluctant to continue to maintain the status of exile in Uganda. It launched a civil war with the Rwandan Hutu government and tried to regain control of the country. The two sides just reached a settlement under the mediation of the United Nations at the end of last year.Unfortunately, before going further, the assassination of former President Juvenal and the genocide of Rwandan genocide occurred.

The reason is that, besides the parties, it is difficult for spectators to thoroughly understand who is right and who is wrong.

Simon did not distract from this mess, but getting in touch with the Rwandese Patriotic Front is also an important step in this plan. The cooperation between the two parties is actually equivalent to the approval of the British and American authorities.

By that time, the Rwandan Patriotic Front had gained national control, and this operation of the Westeros system could also be legally and morally recognized from the new government, completely eliminating some potential hidden dangers.

As for France, which will completely lose the right to speak in Rwanda after this war, Simon is not considered.

Warren Christopher saw Simon confess, and then said: "This is good, Simon, the White House means, then you only need to guard the refugee camp you built, and follow-up things will be arranged. Also, as soon as possible It’s embarrassing to send back all the mercenaries you called from Eastern Europe."

Simon shook his head without hesitation this time: "Unfortunately, Warren, I am not a person who likes to give up halfway, nor a person who likes to be a supporting role."

Warren Christopher's eyes sharpened: "Listen, Simon, do you know what you are doing? This is aggression, don't go it alone, otherwise, both the federal government and the United Nations have the right to sanction you, or even send you Go to the military court."

Simon remained unimpressed, but looked at Warren Christopher equally sharply: "Warren, if I was sent to a military court because I came forward to stop a racist massacre that could involve the death of millions of civilians, then, The whole world will probably be disappointed by what you call the military court, and I will be even more disappointed personally."

Warren Christopher was at a loss.

The US military withdrew from Somalia last year mainly because the military operations in the area could not stand the moral high ground.

And this time, the various Rwanda massacres displayed on the Igreat portal have fully aroused strong indignation around the current Rwandan government. In this case, no matter what the opposite young people do, they will gain public opinion. Universal support.

This is the gap.

Moreover, whether it is from Simon Westero to occupy the moral high ground through the media platform, or to quietly contact the potential layout of the Rwandan Patriotic Front, it proves that this young man is not alone in his feverish mind, and the other party obviously has perfect considerations for everything.

Except for gathering mercenaries from Eastern Europe.

Just in the morning on the European side across the Atlantic, a spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, who was on a honeymoon with the West, when facing reporters’ questions about Simon’s employment of Eastern European soldiers in Rwanda, could not help but sarcastically say that when Humanitarian disasters have occurred in some areas, and it was thought that it was the former Soviet Union Red Army that stopped the evil actions, not the Western'master of justice'. This is indeed an issue worthy of serious consideration by people all over the world.

The first president of Ukraine, Leon Kravchuk, destined to step down in this year’s general election due to the collapse of the domestic economy, was also very stubborn to face accusations by some Western media of improper arms sales to Ukraine by personal forces in Ukraine. In response, he said that Ukraine did not think there were any mistakes in this arms sales act, but also countered the questioned reporter on the spot. Does the other party hope that the genocide in Africa will continue?

Warren Christopher didn’t expect this breakfast conversation to make Simon Westero obey the authorities’ intentions. If it’s a promise that lacks a firm personal will, Simon Westero can’t get what he’s doing now. achievement.

This kid was able to come to Washington with the summons of the authorities, which has already given the federal government a step.

"Okay, Simon, but me, and Mr. President, I hope you know when to stop," Warren Christopher remarked helplessly at the end: "However, this action should not be missing anyway. The figure of the United States. The White House has urgently allocated $20 million in rescue materials and 500 peacekeepers, and will fly to Africa this morning."

Simon didn't wait for Warren to continue, and nodded with a smile: "I will let Westeros camp do the reception work well, and we will definitely give our soldiers enough live footage."

Warren Christopher was a little embarrassed by the smiles of the youths on the opposite side, but he continued: "However, Simon, our soldiers are only responsible for the peacekeeping work inside the refugee camp this time and will not participate in any military operations."

Simon did not want the US military to intervene in his own actions, and nodded again.

In fact, according to the ideas of the White House and Congress, it is best to stay out of the matter.

However, the United States cannot stay out of this matter at all.

In the final analysis, it is still for votes.

Just after the Rwanda Holocaust news came out yesterday, a large number of African Americans in many American cities took to the streets for the first time, demanding that the federal government take immediate measures to stop the genocide in Rwanda.

Today, it is still breakfast time. According to the news that Warren Christopher got up, tens of thousands of people have gathered near the White House and the Capitol, including not only black people, but also peaceful people of all races in the United States. The federal government is also required to take intervention measures as soon as possible.

Almost all of today’s news headlines from mainstream media around the world are about the racist massacre in Rwanda.Governments of all countries will inevitably face reprimands from the media if they remain as stern as they did a few days ago.

Therefore, if the US authorities really dare to ignore the Rwanda massacre, this year's mid-term elections, the Democratic Party will definitely lose a lot of points in its African-American basic set, and even affect many other voters in the country.

It can be said that many people in the White House and Congress last night almost stayed awake because of what the young man had tossed out.

The initial compromise plan is that the United States will provide material assistance, but will not engage in military intervention.

In this way, the public can be given an explanation, and there will not be the passive situation of last year in Somalia that has damaged the soldiers.

In addition, in the media, it must also be supported by the Igrid portal controlled by Simon at the moment.

Although mainstream media from all over the world have sent reporters to Rwanda, the Igrid portal, which is deployed in advance, still has a large degree of control over the news media of this event, especially the webcast of the Igrid portal. Relying on tens of millions of viewers all over the world, the influence of this live broadcast has even surpassed many mainstream TV media.

The US military that is about to go to Africa does not intend to take military action, but the image of the American soldier in front of the camera must still be there, and it must be positive enough.

If you want to do this, the cooperation of Igrid Portal is very important.

After Simon nodded again, Warren Christopher added: "The last point, Simon, you need to be clear about your position, so it's best not to let those Ukrainian mercenaries stand out."
