Supreme Golden Pupils - Chapter 650 Andre's Dilemma

From these few words, it can be seen that the foreign minister is a typical scholar who takes everything for granted, even if he has limited ability. If the matter can be resolved so easily, how can the civil war in Sierra Leone last for eight years? Sankoh Are you still alive so well?

Sierra Leone used to be a colony of the United Kingdom and is now a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. It is true that Sierra Leone maintains a very close relationship with the United Kingdom. However, as a sovereign and independent country, its internal affairs are handled by other countries. What do the people in the country think of it? government?What will the international community think?If they do so, I'm afraid they will be branded "incompetent". Even if the international and domestic prestige of this government is completely abolished, they will not be far from stepping down.

Moreover, although the United Kingdom and the United States have ambitions for Sierra Leone and want to control the country, it is not the same as it was decades ago. The international community does not allow it, and they themselves cannot allow Sierra Leone to become their colony again. The burden of millions of extremely poor people, what they want is only a source of resources.As for whose control this resource producing area is under, and what kind of misery the people here live in, does it have anything to do with them?They won't care about it!

To put it bluntly, if the government of Sierra Leone is overthrown by the RUF and Sankoh becomes the new president, they will not hesitate to abandon the former government, extend an olive branch to the RUF, and recognize their interests as long as they meet the interests of the United Kingdom and the United States. dominance.There is no need to doubt that the politicians in these Western countries are so shameless, and it is their undisguised nature to put their interests first.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if the heads of government of the United Kingdom and the United States realize their conscience and show mercy and intend to keep the Kabbah government, it is not so easy to implement this idea. This world is not their family's final say, international influence still has to be considered.Moreover, with the political systems of the two countries, it will take a lot of effort for them to reach a unified opinion in the country. The failure of the US government in Somalia a few years ago is still vivid, and there will definitely be many opponents.

Therefore, the foreign minister's proposal is simply wishful thinking. It is useless except to show his sense of existence. President Kabbah would not be the first to agree.Just kidding, he is not the kind of self-righteous idiot. Although the relationship with the United Kingdom and the United States is not bad due to historical reasons, it is on the premise that he can bring benefits to the two countries instead of trouble. Influence and face can be so great that they affect the national policies of the two countries!The foreign minister's proposal is simply to make him lose face to the whole world!What are you kidding?Kabbah would not do such an idiotic thing, he still wants to sit on the throne of the president for a few more years!

Therefore, the foreign minister's self-satisfied smile didn't last for a few seconds before he was froze by President Kabbah's words: "The United Nations mission stationed in Freetown has already expressed the attitude of the United Kingdom and the United States. Their help is not realistic, and it is impossible for them to send troops alone. So, let’s put this proposal down for now, who has other good suggestions?"

good suggestion?Any other good suggestions?The country's army has been beaten into a mess, and it can barely hold its ground with the deterrence of the United Nations mission. Now that the possibility of seeking assistance from allies has also been rejected, where is there any other way to go?Kabbah thinks highly of these people too much!Therefore, for 5 minutes after his voice fell, the entire meeting room was silent, and the sound of a needle dropping could be heard, and the occasional cough was suppressed as much as possible, for fear of attracting Kabbah's attention and making a fool of himself like that foreign minister. shame.

This situation made Kabbah understand that it was impossible to get any good ideas from them. He frowned and scanned these high-ranking officials, cursing inwardly. His eyes finally fell on the first person on the left, The only white man in the entire conference room put on a smiling face and asked him for his opinion in a friendly manner: "Mr. Andre, what's your opinion?"

As soon as this remark was made, everyone in the conference room raised their lowered heads instantly, and their gazes turned to that "Mr. Andre".As high-level government officials in Sierra Leone, these people are very clear that although Andre does not hold any position in the government, he is the most trusted person of President Kabbah. In a sense, there is nothing wrong with treating him as the No. [-] figure in the Sierra Leone government!It is even said that Mr. Andre was the biggest supporter of President Kabbah's progress to where he is today, and he made great contributions at the critical moment.

"The discussion between the President and gentlemen just now was very in-depth and specific, and I agree with it very much. But since Mr. President is inquiring, let me share some of my personal thoughts for your reference." Andre's body straightened slightly. Right, the waist is straight. Although he is not wearing a military uniform, he looks more like a soldier than the potbellied Minister of Defense.When he spoke, his face was cool, without any expression, and his eyes were always staring straight ahead without squinting.

While speaking, Andre secretly sighed in his heart: Although many years have passed, I still haven’t forgotten the bureaucratic empty phrases that I got used to back then, but fortunately, my style of doing things is not like those bureaucrats. Procrastination and inefficiency, otherwise I am afraid that I would have been dead for a long time.

Andrei was born in the KGB, the former Soviet intelligence system, and was the head of one of its departments.He is very capable, proficient in business, flexible in mind, and can always find the best way to solve problems. He has successfully completed the tasks assigned by his superiors countless times when he was working on the front line of intelligence. Rising star.

But it is a pity that he was born at an untimely time, and he caught up with the special period when the situation in the Soviet Union was in a sharp decline. Your own position is a problem.And Andre suffers at this point.

At the beginning, there was a vacancy for a higher-level position in their department, and Andre was the most powerful competitor, but it was not him who took the position in the end, but a person who was usually looked down upon by him. A clown who can't do it.This made Andre very unbalanced, especially when the clown came to him brazenly, mocking him and humiliating him in every way, Andre felt that if he didn't do something, he wouldn't be a man!

And he did, taking advantage of his power, and it didn't take long for Andrei to send a document and criminal evidence detailing the clown's use of power for personal gain, embezzlement and bribery to the top leader of their department—a Soviet national security officer. On the desks of committee members.But the result was quite different from what he had imagined: the clown was fine, but he was charged with "endangering national security" and put in a secret prison inside the KGB!

Fortunately, Andre’s life was not to die. One of his former intelligence officers fought side by side, and was later transferred back to China almost at the same time as him. An old friend who worked in a secret service school got the news of him. He was schemingly fished out of prison, and sent out of the Soviet Union to Africa where the KGB is relatively weak.Later, in an accident, Andre, who was discouraged and didn't know where to go, met Kabbah who was still working in the United Nations at that time, was rescued by him, and became Kabbah's staff ever since.

Originally, Andre thought that his life had finally stabilized and there would be no more changes. The Soviet Union had disintegrated, the KGB no longer existed, and no one would pursue him. Everything in the past was like a dream. He no longer has the ambitions of the past, and he will spend the rest of his life in Sierra Leone, a small West African country.But unexpectedly, a year ago, his old friend Chernenko, who had helped him escape from the KGB prison, contacted him again, which brought new changes to his life.

According to Chernenko, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, his condition was also very bad. He was poor and almost died on the street because of hunger and cold.But fortunately, he met his boss later, and he got rid of that precarious life.

The first contact after so many years, Chernenko's letter only contained warm greetings from old friends and a vague description of his recent situation, nothing else was mentioned.In his joy, Andrei didn't think too much, and wrote back happily, describing in detail what happened after he left the Soviet Union, and once again expressed his gratitude to Chernenko.

In this way, in the following year, the correspondence between Andrei and Chernenko continued, and every once in a while a person who was obviously not a postman delivered a letter to Andrei himself.Andre didn't feel surprised about this. Although what the two of them were talking about was not confidential, the awareness of secrecy had penetrated deeply into their bones and became their instinct. It was always right to be cautious.

And with Chernenko's letter vaguely mentioning that he now seems to be in charge of an intelligence organization, it is even less surprising that he can do this.The only thing that makes Andre a little curious is how big the organization under Chernenko is, and it can actually extend its tentacles to Sierra Leone. He is now in East Asia, thousands of miles away. This kind of energy is a bit amazing up.

Until a few days ago, that is, the night when the RUF suddenly launched an attack, another letter was handed over to Andre. Stunned after reading the letter, Chernenko made him a very embarrassing request.
