Chapter 360: Benghazi Crisis
The first update
Gaddafi has not had a good time lately, and he did not hesitate to terminate nuclear weapons research in order to curry favor with the United States, and at the same time offended the Soviet Union because of his big mouth. In order to curry favor with both sides at the same time, they both procured Soviet weapons and maintained a politically ambiguous attitude with the US government. It is not uncommon for small countries to implement such speculative behavior, but there are only a handful of people like Gaddafi who play such a disgusting game.
Benghazi is on the verge of an outbreak, the government's grip is eroding, and the streets are filled with protesters holding signs calling for peace and protesting Gaddafi's current policies. The streets were filled with marching opponents, crowded, excited, uneasy and other emotions mixed together. They believe they are here to overthrow the Gaddafi dictatorship and win a bright future for Libya.
However, this "Arab Spring" was not a real national independence and liberation movement, but an armed rebellion between the major powers to divide up Libyan oil and eliminate Gaddafi's faction.
After a long wait, Benghazi is finally in turmoil.
The marchers hung slogans such as "Return the oil industry to the people" and "Get out of Libya by the Gaddafi family".
On the first day of the demonstrations, the streets of Benghazi were suppressed and attacked by the police, armed with riot shields and rifles, and the troops rushed to the scene, their guns pointed at the crowd.
"Don't go any further, please dismiss the marching crowd immediately, we won't. Hurt you, if you don't come to your senses, we will take strong measures. ”
After all that's said. The muzzles of the guns were pointed at the dense crowd. The order they received was in the case of ineffective eviction. Execute the killing order.
The otherwise bustling crowd became quiet, they looked at the policemen, their eyes mixed with mixed emotions, anger and uneasiness on their faces, and clenched the flag of freedom in their hands.
"No Freedom, Better Die!"
I don't know who shouted the first sentence, and then everyone's voices rose and fell with each other, from the beginning of the noisy chaos. It became the neat and loud that came later, and the words they spoke gradually became a unified whole.
"No Freedom, Better Die!"
They shouted again after the first voice.
"No Freedom, Better Die!"
The policeman turned his head and looked at the captain behind him with a complicated expression, and the face of the guy who gave the order became extremely ugly, and he was finally carried away by anger when he hoped to resolve the crisis in Benghazi peacefully.
"Shoot!" He shook his fist at the crowd, but no one moved.
One of them hesitantly asked, "Are we really going to do this?" They are unarmed civilians. ”
"I say, shoot!"
They fired at the crowd of demonstrators. The bullet passed through their bodies, bursting through a mist of blood in the dense crowd. The marching people began to flee backwards. But the crowds blocked the streets. Not only were people shooting at them from behind, but also members of the special forces of the 32nd Hamis Brigade, disguised as civilians, threw grenades into the crowd.
First, the explosion of a grenade drove the crowd to a specific position. Then there was another terrible explosion. The windows on both sides of the street were shattered by the sound of a loud explosion, not the effect of a single grenade, but an elaborate series of explosions. Khamis used cars parked on the street to create a car bomb explosion that caused a national sensation.
The streets were littered with blown rubble and dust. Some fell to the ground groaning in pain, while others crawled on the ground covering bloody wounds. The scene was a mess and miserable.
The accident was like a fuse that blew up the prelude to the Benghazi riots. News of the assault on the marchers quickly spread throughout the city, with angry crowds running out of their homes to join the protests. They smashed and burned shops and cars, and instead of stopping the unrest, Khamis's plan became a catalyst for it.
Policemen sympathetic to the population were reluctant to turn their guns on ordinary people, they lowered their guns and even deliberately dropped their rifles. The weapon was handed over to the angry masses. Not only that, but the crowd also attacked the police shield phalanx with homemade Motorov cocktail bottles.
Al Jazeera reported on the unrest in North Africa ahead of Libyan News. Television footage was filled with billowing smoke, indistinct shouts, and shocking blood on the ground.
The eyes of the world are focused on Libya, and other countries that have long wanted to fall into Libya have shown a look of schadenfreude. For example, Chad, where there has been conflict, and ********.
I didn't expect you to have a card masterpiece today.
As for the Soviet Union, China ostensibly did not react in any way to the events in Libya, but was also ready to make a move towards Libya at the UN General Assembly. Although it is not possible to carry out a direct military strike, it is still possible to disgust Libya on the proposal of the UN General Assembly.
"It's time to get ready to go, Libya is on the verge of collapse. The riots in Benghazi will spread across the country. Of course, we will not act with NATO. After all, the last batch of SAM anti-aircraft missiles was delivered to the Libyan air defense forces just two months ago. Whoever acts in the air above the no-fly zone in the early stage will become the target of the strike. ”
Because it did not go through the Soviet military, the main unit of the operation was the KGB, which used pro-Soviet forces in the country to carry out subversive activities.
"And what about Gaddafi?" Kryuchkov asked, "Gaddafi is dead, and the form will be very unpromising for us." ”
"It's no longer up to us to decide whether Gaddafi dies or not, and if he dies, then the next step will be like us tearing our faces with the United States. If his power does not die out, we can still maintain a certain tacit understanding with the United States. ”
Kryuchkov knew very well what Yanayev was talking about, and they not only extended their sphere of influence to the Libyan oil fields, but also prepared to unite and pit the European Union, which entered the game later.
France, which took the lead, and Germany, which responded positively, thought that they could make a fortune in this war. Unbeknownst to him, there were two more sinister guys smiling and clenching the butcher knife behind their backs.
"Thank you Gaddafi for his contribution to the Soviet Union, and when you die, we will give you a glorious funeral."
Yanayev closed his eyes slightly, and the last rays of Libya would finally fall, and he quietly waited for the last moment to come. (To be continued.) )
