You said that a good Soviet hair girl, who did you learn this trick to death from? Is it with her husband? Serov was severely retaliated against in the evening. This stormy sea gave him the illusion of a broken pelvis, but it didn't matter, the final winner was still him, and the humming Valya still lost.

"We must give aid to Mobutu, or we will lose the whole of Africa. Now almost all North African countries maintain close relations with the Soviet Union, including Sudan, and the war has just broken out. Sudan has been under the control of all Arab countries. Support, those Arabs are at any cost on this point, the Arab nationalism spread in Egypt dominated many countries, combined with the socialist movement in the Soviet Union, and had a huge impact on the Arab community.” U.S. Defense Minister Schlesinger said worriedly, "We must intervene immediately, otherwise the consequences cannot be assessed."

   While speaking, Defense Secretary Schlesinger kept his eyes on Secretary of State Kissinger, because the United States has supported Israel in the Middle East war, and its relations with Arab countries are now at the worst in history. If Israel defeats the Arabs completely, it is not a problem. Arab countries that have lost confidence may compromise in the face of pressure from the United States.

   But several Middle East wars were all drawn, and the most recent Arab coalition recovered lost ground. This made the entire Arab country burst with confidence, although the Soviet Union had promised that the United States would not directly intervene in the Middle East war. However, Arab countries, whose confidence has risen, turned a blind eye to the pressure from the United States. Even the oil negotiation in US dollars has made little progress because of the fierce opposition from Egypt, Syria and Iraq.

Although some countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar expressed their friendship to the United States, they also expressed that they must consider the opinions of several military powers in the Arab world. You must know that there are several military powers in the Arab world, all of which are pro-Soviet.

Defense Minister Schlesinger is also Jewish, but his dissatisfaction with Kissinger is also true. He believes that the United States should support Israel at all costs in the last war in the Middle East and defeat all Arab countries. The Soviet Union would never dare to be true to the United States. Go to war, maybe back down.

"I also think we should provide assistance to Mobutu, but we can't send troops directly. We still have many problems." Kissinger did not insist on his own opinion this time, although he believed that the United States should cultivate due to domestic problems. For a while, but the Soviet Union must not be allowed to do whatever it wants.

Kissinger believed that the power of the United States and the Soviet Union was roughly in equilibrium. Due to the amazing arsenal of the nuclear age, even if one side added a little military strength, it would not make any effective change in the situation. Not very worried. Although Schlesinger also admitted that the two superpowers are currently roughly balanced in terms of strategic weapons, he fears that the Soviet Union's strategic weapons will gain the upper hand in the next few years, thus putting the United States in a dangerous situation.

  Schlesinger was very wary of the Soviet Union's strategic intentions. He believed that detente was only a tool for the Soviet Union to advance its own strategy. The real purpose of the Soviet Union was to seek advantage. But since the Soviet Union wants to ease, it means that the Soviet Union believes that it is in its own interests. Since this is the case, the United States must insist on bargaining, and cannot let the Soviet Union easily get what it wants.

"We are indeed facing huge pressure from the Soviet Union now, and I agree with it myself. Since this is the case, we will provide assistance to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and at the same time, we must communicate with our allies. We must know that our allies are very dissatisfied with us. Get help in the power of Africa..." Ford was also a little overwhelmed, and France and the United States often disagreed on issues such as East-West relations, relations within the Western alliance, and regional situations. The Nixon administration made some efforts to improve relations with France, but with little success. After the Middle East war and the joint oil embargo of Arab countries, US-French relations fell to a low point.

The Soviet Union has always made small moves in Africa, but it has never touched the French sphere of influence. With this friendly attitude, France does not see the expansion of the Soviet Union. Besides, since the death of Charles de Gaulle, the pro-Soviet force in France has been unprecedentedly strong, occupying half of France. , coupled with gold prices and exchange rate issues, Ford needs to set the tone for future governments.

   There are also the problems of the United States and RB, the problems of the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany, so that Ford must put the stability of his allies as the first priority. The Western Conference of Seven is the reason why he considers the American allies.

A few hours later, President Ford went to Congress and said that the United States would provide assistance to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, because the United States could not ignore the shadow of the Soviet Union behind Sudan, "As long as I am president for one day, we will never allow de-escalation to become a license to fish in troubled waters, and de-escalation must come. have been."

   The US Congress then allocated $300 million in aid to support Mobutu. At the same time, they began to mobilize transportation forces to send military aid to Kinshasa. At the same time, the American media condemned the war as being manipulated by major powers. The United States must restore peace to Africa. This is the international responsibility of the United States, etc...

"It's so noble, isn't it for profit? They really regard themselves as the savior? Then the United States, the world's largest grain-producing country, why doesn't the United States allocate some food to help the Democratic Republic of the Congo? Watching half of the population of the Democratic Republic of the Congo falling into famine , we support the fact that Sudan did not starve to death so many people." Serov, who had just bought an electric razor, kept rubbing his chin. If the United States wanted to help Mobutu, it would actually be far more effective to send food than to send arms.

   In the 1970s, the world economic crisis and the oil crisis were more famous, but in fact these were problems encountered by Europe and the United States. There is a problem encountered by more countries in the world, and that is the world food crisis that most countries in the world have encountered. Especially in third world countries, widespread food crises exist, especially in Africa.

If the people of the DRC can have enough to eat, since they have twice the population of Sudan, even if the black people lack a little talent for war, the DRC army will never be so easy to let the Sudan People's Army capture more than 10,000 people on the first day. . Four hundred Congolese soldiers were killed...

"The management of the prisoner of war camp is handed over to us. We send cadres ourselves, and at the same time let the political commissar of the Sudan People's Army enter the prisoner of war camp to maintain order. These soldiers have room for transformation. , it should not be a problem for the Democratic Republic of the Congo." Serov put down his razor and ordered, "Let Comrade Zinev pay attention to this problem."

The Sudan People's Army made rapid progress in the first week, and the soldiers pointed directly at Kisangani, the third largest city in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Kisangani is the largest city in the northeastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There is a direct railway to the capital Kinshasa. The greatest difficulty is the Congo River.

In Kisangani, the Sudanese People's Army encountered the first large-scale resistance. There was a division of the Congolese Army in this city. The division commander was Mobutu's cronies, and he dismissed the Sudan People's Army's persuasion to surrender, saying The United States will soon provide support to the Congo. Even if the Soviet Union is behind Sudan, it is by no means an American opponent.

The importance of   Kisangani is related to the progress of the Sudan People's Army, they must solve the country in the dry season, otherwise they may be trapped in this Central African country once the rainy season comes with poor roads.

   The seriousness of the matter cannot be underestimated. The battle broke out suddenly. After completing the artillery bombardment, the Sudan People's Army rushed into Kisangani with the tank division as an arrow, and launched the first tough battle since entering the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Throughout the day, gunfire continued in the urban area of ​​Kisangani, and there was a big gap between the quality of the Congolese army and the Sudan People's Army.

After a day of fighting, the Sudan People's Army killed less than 100 people, killed 400 Congolese soldiers, and captured more than 2,000 prisoners. They occupied Kisangani the next night. .

   The DRC army on the border with Sudan has basically disappeared, because the Congo River separates the Congolese army on the border from the mainland. In the first week of fighting, the Sudan People's Army annihilated all the Congolese troops that were blocked by the Congo River and could not retreat. Sent to one after another prisoner of war camps that have already been established.

   After the occupation of Kisangani, the railway was not damaged, and it resumed operation soon. It became a transit point for the Sudanese People's Army to attack the Congo. The war has just started a week, and the troops occupying one third of the total number of the Congolese army have disappeared. This surprised Mobutu, who didn't know it was because of a problem with his deployment, which resulted in the army in the north being blocked by the Congo River, but instead contacted Sudan, thinking that someone at home was against him.

  So while clearing the opposition, Mobutu began to appeal to Western countries, especially hoping that the United States would intervene in Sudan's aggression, otherwise the whole of Africa might be controlled by the Soviet Union.

On the railway in Kisangani, columns of military supplies were delivered to the Sudan People's Army, while the troops composed of black South Sudanese were responsible for the stability of Kisangani, and the Sudan People's Army composed of Arabs rested for two years. Days later, they continued their march, preparing to use the railroad attack to enter the Democratic Republic of the Congo and attack Kinshasa.

  Mobutu's appeal attracted the attention of Europe and the United States, and they all hoped that the Soviet Union would stop Sudan's behavior. But the Kremlin, which had already made plans, turned a deaf ear. Compared with countries in Western Europe, the Americans were obviously more practical. They contacted Zimbabwe and Bouwe to provide assistance to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. At the same time, the US Air Force transport planes have also dispatched military supplies to the Congo. , supporting Mobutu.

   The SPLA Air Force arrived before the American transport planes arrived, but instead of dropping bombs, they dropped leaflets against Mobutu. (To be continued~^~)
