Chapter 273: Sanctions from the P5

The first update

Washington never dreamed that the South African government would take the initiative to ask them to help them support the current government in international opinion, but De Klerk seems to have forgotten one thing, the current South Africa is just like the invasion of Panama and the Pig Gulf incident, and the current South African government is the target that the Americans want to attack.

However, the civil unrest in South Africa is clearly beyond the imagination of the White House elite, fueled by the two superpowers, an armed conflict broke out in the already turbulent South African society, and a bloody contest between whites and blacks, anti-government and government. On the one hand, there is support for apartheid and white supremacy. On the one hand, it advocates the equality of blacks and violently seizes power. The government, on the other hand, is caught in the middle, becoming the target of attacks from the left and right.

The smoke of war is everywhere, and when the contradictions erupt to an irreconcilable level, the slaughter of civilians begins. This was true of the Bosnian war, as well as the South African civil war.

"But so far, South Africa's 90,000-strong armed force is still in the hands of the South African government, and it is only a matter of time before a rebellion is put down." U.S. National Security Adviser Anthony Lake analyzed, "If we want to maximize the turmoil in South Africa, then we will turn our backs on the deal with De Klerk and win over other UN countries to impose an embargo on South Africa." Then let the incident slowly ferment. ”

"Of course, the turmoil cannot stop so quickly, and all we do is to plunge South Africa into the abyss of civil war." Mario's expression was a little serious, because once sanctions were imposed on South Africa, it would be absolutely impossible for the government to put down the rebellion in a short period of time. This requires the United States to make a choice. And the last words of National Adviser Lake became President Mario's key message.

"In the event of a civil war in South Africa, the capital that Europe and the United States have injected into South Africa will quickly withdraw from the country. Then the blow to South Africa's financial markets and economic development is huge. It could even lead directly to the collapse of the financial center of Cape Town. Lake said. This is the most vicious point of his strategy for the United States, "I think this is a very good deal to sacrifice some small benefits in exchange for greater profits." A troubled South Africa is more conducive to our multinational conglomerate controlling the local economy. ”

"Well, we're going to step in with the U.N. proposal and get the CIA up and running to fan the flames all over Africa." Civil war, this is a special gift from the Americans to South Africa.

Instead of waiting for a message of peace, De Klerk's anticipation waited for a deadly fate. The U.S. side has changed its previous tone. Began to condemn the South African government for its humanitarian and human rights violations. They will impose a no-fly zone and an arms embargo policy on South Africa. What is even more frightening for South Africa is that this decision of the United States has the strong support of the Soviet government, and the United States and the Soviet Union, which had previously sworn to protect the interests of the South African government, chose the opposition in the blink of an eye.

In the aftermath of the rebellion in the Free State of South Africa, Yanayev issued a statement, "The Soviet Union expresses its deep sympathy for the resistance of the South African people against tyranny and oppression. We will pay further attention to the development of the situation, affirm and understand the South African people's struggle for freedom and independence, and hope that the government can make self-criticism and not try to challenge the people's bottom line. ”

At the same time as Yanayev made this statement again. It also provided more weapons support to the South African Communist Party, allowing them to go to the countryside, to the areas where the South African army was weakly controlled, to mobilize the people to wage guerrilla warfare. It was also the first time that Yanayev had provided support to a country's communist party since cutting off the export of the revolution.

The Soviet Union did not urge both sides to return to the negotiating table as soon as possible to resolve the issue. Their ambiguous attitude also expresses their views from the side. We gloat over the political situation in South Africa, and don't think we're going to reach out and pull you in your most difficult time, the Soviet stones are ready and waiting to fall.

"Now the vote is open on decisions on civil unrest in the South African country." At the UN meeting, representatives of the five countries faced the screen and made their choices.

In addition to China's abstention in the UN Security Council's decision to impose a no-fly ban and an arms embargo, the Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France all voted unanimously in favor of the decision against the South African government. Like a rehearsed script, sanctions against the South African government were unanimously adopted. It is clear that everyone wants to push South Africa's civil strife into the abyss.

"The USSR, the USA, England and France all betrayed us, and these bastards played us! They have no intention of keeping their promises at all. And yet we're still hoping for these damn bastards! ”

After seeing Mario and Yanayev's speeches on TV, De Klerk couldn't help but angrily threw the remote control on the ground, he didn't expect that the United States and the Soviet Union actually had a deal behind the scenes, directly placing South Africa together. Now the South African government is facing a situation of internal and external troubles, because the intervention of the United States and the Soviet Union in South Africa has not only not extinguished the armed rebellion that has burned in the Freedom State, but even the air armed forces have been directly paralyzed because of the ban on flights.

He sat down in his chair and watched the reports coming back from all over the country on his desk as the rebellion in the Free State erupted directly into a series of armed struggles. The extremist armed forces of the Boers in South Africa have targeted all blacks, seeing them as demons who disturb the order of the country. De Klerk's friend Nelson Mandela also turned his back on him at this time, moving from peaceful demonstrations to sympathizing with the armed insurgency to overthrow the government.

Although Mandela maintained a non-violent non-aligned attitude on the surface, he also knew that rapprochement with the white government was over. De Klerk tried everything he could to prevent the black people of South Africa from rebelling and preventing the country from splitting. But he didn't expect to arouse the righteous indignation of his own whites, and at the same time lose the support of blacks.

"Send all the troops out to suppress it, the United States can no longer count on it, and the future of South Africa depends on us." Thinking of the permanent members of the United Nations who were hiding in the shadows and watching the jokes, De Klerk gritted his teeth with hatred, "The opportunity has already been given to you, since you are all merciless, don't miss the old feelings of the South African army." ”

The Boers, the blacks, these guys who disturb the order of the country, should all be pulled out and shot! (To be continued.) )
