Chapter 730 January

In January 2008, due to the strong confrontation between the Third Economic Organization and the United States and other Western countries on the nuclear issue, a series of effects have gradually expanded.

At the beginning of this month, the international light oil price once again set a record high, reaching a record high of $110 per barrel, which is different from the previous sharp rise in oil prices, which was finally stabilized by major oil-exporting countries in various political diplomacy. Although the increase in oil prices this time was slow, it began in June last year. Now the country International oil prices are up 30% from June last year.

However, OPEC members and other major oil-exporting countries have no idea of increasing oil production and stabilizing international oil prices. A new round of changes in the international situation caused by rising oil prices have begun to emerge.

2 said that Kurdish guerrillas of the Iraqi Liberation Front launched a car bomb in Diyarbakir, Turkey, killing four people and injuring more than 20 others. Subsequently, the Iraqi Liberation Front expressed responsibility and claimed that if Turkey continued to agree that the U.S. military would use Turkish domestic airports to attack Iraqi guerrillas, its retaliation against Turkey would not stop.

The Diabakir bomb attack heralded the beginning of large-scale retaliation by Islamic militant groups and other forces against the United States and its minions.

On January 8, U.S. President George W. Bush conducted an eight-day visit to Middle Eastern countries for two main purposes. One is to force the Middle East countries to stop providing weapons and intelligence to Iraq's anti-American guerrillas through other exchange of interests, and the other is to choose Syrian President Bashar to continue to stand in the third place. The OECD side expressed the attitude of the United States, because Syria did not appear on George W. Bush's visit list during this visit.

Another thing that caused a great response in the world in January was naturally that Russia held the largest joint sea and air exercise since the collapse of the Soviet Union in the Bay of Biscay between Spain and France.

During the Biscay Bay sea and air exercise, the Russian navy dispatched 11 warships and 47 carrier-based aircraft from the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet, including the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. Before the start of the performance, two Tu-160 strategic bombers flew from the domestic mainland to the exercise area.

The Bay of Biskai is located in the southeast of the North Atlantic, facing France in the east and Spain in the west. It covers an area of 194,000 square kilometers and an average water depth of 1,700 meters. It is of great significance to the strategic Atlantic route, because it can reach the Caribbean Sea and the east coast of North America by expanding its transportation routes. During World War II, the Bay of Biskai was also the base camp for German U-submarines to threaten the Allies.

In the 1960s, NATO troops held exercises code-named 'Meteor' in Biskai Bay. At that time, a former Soviet submarine K-14 took the initiative to fight for the first time under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Marin under complex climate and hydrological conditions, tracking NATO ships for a long time and entering the attack area many times. The domain shows the high tactical cultivation of the Soviet navy, which was once called by the Soviet navy the first case of the successful confrontation of the West by the navy.

In this exercise, the Russian navy used a new 'aircraft carrier nemesis', 'basalt' supersonic cruise missile, which is 11.7 meters long, weighs 4.8 tons, has a flight speed of Mach 2.5, a maximum range of 550 kilometers, can hold 750 kilograms of conventional warheads, and can also be loaded with 50,000 tons. The amount of nuclear warhead is 3.5 times more powerful than the U.S.-made Tomahawk cruise missile.

The scale, length, number of ships and fighters participating in the exercise in Russia, and the depth of symbolism were the largest after the end of the Cold War, which attracted the strong attention of Western countries and military observation organizations.

Some people say that the main purpose of this exercise is to promote Russia's navy and air force, which seems to show that Russia has been "hush" in recent years, not weak and bullying. Once angry, Russia is still the world's former powerful country that made the whole world tremble under the iron horse.

The purpose of this exercise in the Bay of Biscay is obviously to deter some Western countries. Some people speculate that Russia's move is also a warning to France. Last year, France, together with the United States, tried to attract Russia's last ally Syria in the Middle East, although in the end Syria did not The choice to defect to the West has aroused the strong vigilance and dissatisfaction of Russia's political axe. And putting the exercise site on the 'doorstep' of the country of the country is also a warning and deterrent.

Of course, there is also the least voice in international public opinion, that is, the purpose of Russia's move is an angry reaction after being 'neglected'. In 2007, among the most important major events in the world, the confrontation between the Third Economic Union and the United States can be included. Thinking about the Cold War, in fact, the former Soviet Union fought against Western countries with the strength of one country, but now it has fallen into a group of world's third-rate countries to perform on the stage, while the United States has no choice but to let the Buddha make the strong Arctic. The bear felt that he had been ignored. Although the polar bear has a serious illness and has not yet recovered, it still wants to show its strong chest and acquaintance muscles to the world, especially those unfriendly neighbors, to show its existence.

......

Abego, the eastern city of Chad, was originally the largest city in eastern Chad. Because of its proximity to Darfur, Sudan, in recent decades, due to the Darfur problem, the ethnic contradictions in the region are sharp, and there are many armed forces. In 2005, Chadian President Idris, who came to power by a coup? Debi's forced decision to abolish the president for only one-time re-election triggered the stirring and unease of other parties and forces in Chad, and exacerbated the instability of the domestic situation in Chad.

As one of the longest countries in the civil war in Africa, Chad's political aft corruption [***] is serious, and it is the most serious country in the world. After Daiby came to power, he implemented the rule of reading talent and arbitrarily appointed the Zagawa people, which aroused the strong dissatisfaction of Chu and other [***] armed forces in the south, a new round The civil war officially began.

Abego is now under the control of the Mingzhu Justice Movement in Chad, and the leader of the Chadic Movement is Dumai, the son of the late leader Dogoimi.

Unlike other [***] armed forces in Chad, the Chadian people's movement neither launched a large-scale attack on the political axe army under the control of Daibi, nor did they become a local emperor in the east.

Although Dumay is only 30 years old, his long-term military and political struggle has trained him very well.

After controlling Abego and several surrounding cities, the Chamin Movement mainly focused on internal affairs and resolving racial conflicts. After several years of efforts, the Chamin Movement control area has a population of 1 million, which is one-tenth of the country's total population, while the army has 15,000 people, all of whom have been trained over the years. Sharp troops.

In today's Democratic Movement, in addition to the leader Dumay, there is also a deputy commander of the army, Dono, who used to be the captain of the military. In terms of government affairs, he also has an important assistant, Edira. It is precisely because of the existence of the two that Dumay is young, but he can become Chad. One of the most powerful and least-key warlords.

Today, in a well-defended building in Abego, a meeting on the next action of the Cham Movement is being held.

In addition to Dumay and two assistants, there are more than a dozen military officers and two East Asians.

There is only one theme of today's meeting, which is to expand the territory to the west. After two or three years of dormant, the Chadian movement has an elite army armed with strict military training and modern weapons. The long-term low-key has exhausted the patience of the Chadian movement.

In the popular democratic movement, now the deputy commander Dono and the brigade commanders of the 1st and 3rd brigades of the army support the immediate use of force. They even want to directly attack N'Gjamena and ousted Daiby. Edilla, on the other hand, opposes the use of force now. He believes that this is not the time to attack the political axe army, but should focus more on stabilizing the existing territory.

Chad has a population of only 10 million, but there are more than 200 ethnic groups. The complexity of its internal racial contradictions can be imagined. Why can't Chad complete peaceful reunification so far? In addition to the tricks of foreign forces, there is another reason that the chiefs of various tribes are selfish. Everyone wants to be president, but there is only one president. With the population of Chad, it is difficult to survive in Africa, where frequent wars and ethnic conflicts are common, to establish a reading country by one race alone.

No matter who comes to power, in addition to their own interests, they are seeking benefits for their own people, which is bound to arouse the dissatisfaction of other races and trigger a new round of conflicts.

Dumai, the leader of the Democratic Movement, also wanted to attack immediately. He had been dormant for nearly ten years. After his father's death, he could not sit in this position without the support of some officers loyal to his father.

Dumay is not without wisdom. Of course, he knows that if he wants to sit on the throne of the president, he must have strong strength. So in the past two years, he has purchased a large number of arms from the arms smuggling channels of the Star Group through various relationships, especially the Falcon, and even paid to send some officers and soldiers to the Star Group. Chad's training base receives military training.

After several years of low-key and dormant, Dumay believes that he is strong enough to dominate N'Djamena. Two years ago, another [***] armed 'Falth for Change Alliance' went south in the north and once attacked the capital city of N'Djamena. In the end, if President Debi hadn't asked the French team of 1,200 people in Chad to help, N'Djamena might have changed owners now.

In Dumay's eyes, the strength of the 'Fight for Change Alliance' is not as strong as that of the Democratic People's Movement, and the combat effectiveness of the current political axe army is not as good as that of the political axe army two years ago.

In this country with the most corruption, not only political officials, but also corruption in the army [***] is even more serious. From generals to soldiers, they all work hard for a word of money. The military discipline is scattered, and the combat effectiveness has declined sharply, which is completely vulnerable in Dumay's eyes. In his opinion, the biggest difficulty in front of him is the 1,200-man French garrison. As long as the French garrison can be handled, Dumay can become the president of Chad like Debi.

"Jiang, do you think we can take Enjamena now?" Dumay listened to the quarrel of his men and was upset. Suddenly, he saw two East Asians next to him who seemed to be sleeping. His eyes lit up and he asked. Zagawa
