Chapter 608 A flash of inspiration
Moving the refugees away is theoretically a proposal that does no harm to both warring parties and can reduce casualties as much as possible.
However, such a proposal is always difficult to implement in reality.
First of all, whoever puts forward such a humane proposal suffers: No matter whether it is humane or inhumane, it is your proposal if you put it forward. You have to pay something to get the result. Greedy politicians will seize such a "point". Ask the other party to realize their demands.
Therefore, political negotiation is a very disgusting thing, especially such a political negotiation. If the parties are evenly matched, then the hard-hearted and heartless party will always have the upper hand and take the lead.
Abdi has long been educated by scholars and politicians from all over the world. He has already experienced such problems in virtual reality, but in general, he also knows that what he can propose may lead to progress. Just one point.
However, reality is sometimes more dramatic. When he saw that the leader of the Somali government army opposite him whom he had met for the first time, he agreed without even giving Alexander time to react.
Possible reasons for this scenario flashed through his mind:
The other party’s negotiation literacy is very low, the other party’s emotional control ability is very poor, and the other party’s ability is very poor
But there can be only one decisive factor: although Abdi thinks the people in Somalia's transitional government are useless, he does feel helpless and indignant about the current situation——
The leaders of a small and poor country like them are either outrageously bad and take human lives to make money, or they are stupid and think that they have done their best and there is nothing they can do about it but the country is still like this.
But as long as he sees people turned into corpses under attack, fresh lives being burned into cokes by flames in front of his eyes, and corpses and mutilated limbs mixed with steel and concrete, he can still feel a little shame and shame in his stupid head. of.
It was this shame and embarrassment that, under Abdi's righteous words, catalyzed it into an idea that was politically stupid but humanely worthy of consensus, and was subsequently agreed to by him without hesitation.
This is the benefit of a brain-computer interface: Abdi keeps his excitement bottled up. If someone had told him a few months ago that he would be performing like this at the negotiating table in an international setting, he would not have believed it.
The neural implant suppressed his excitement, allowing him to immediately calmly pursue the victory:
“It just so happens that today there are representatives from the International Federation of the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders, a group of trustworthy charity organizations. If you are willing, we can set a one-month ceasefire period for the transfer of refugees.
We can open a port to each other for them to take out the refugees, we can open the port of Hobia from Hobia to your port of Pososa, open the sea route to Europe and let the refugees leave.”
"Wait a moment."
"good!"
Alexander also wanted to regain some of his advantages, but was interrupted again by the stupid leader of the Somali transitional government in the video conference!
He smiled and shook his head, his dissatisfaction reaching the extreme. He sat on the chair and looked at the obviously emotional guy quietly.
To be honest, he did not expect that one day the conflict would occur in Somalia, so the so-called leader of the transitional government was completely mediated by the "normal" officials of the United Nations.
You're a fool, you're a fool.
I have never seen a negotiation where the other party agreed to the terms as soon as they opened the mouth.
The negotiation quickly entered the stage where both parties reached a preliminary consensus and began to finalize the details. At this point, in front of the whole world, Alexander did not want to interrupt the negotiation abruptly.
Lille looked at this scene and nodded secretly:
In Somaliland to the north of Somalia, that is, in the area actually controlled by the Somali transitional government and the Berry Army, there is actually no so-called Somali government army.
All the armed forces that appeared in the conflict were combat robots from Stark Industries, and even the security of the occupied areas was controlled by these robots.
In fact, just outside the door of the leader of the Somali transitional government, there is a combat robot responsible for his safety——
Alexander obviously did not pay attention to the psychological state of this puppet: this leader may have been able to join them under coercion and inducement, but due to the inertia of thinking to reduce costs and increase efficiency, he did not consider this option at all, which led to this leader being quite good to a certain extent. Someone who can empathize with those civilians.
This is a very important detail, not the only important detail, but important enough.
[Little Octopus: Brother, what do you think he is thinking? 】
[Lille: Most likely, he is calling this guy a fool and thinking of ways to replace him. 】
In the picture, Alexander pretended to flip through the documents in his hand, but Lille could see that his mind was no longer here.
He was dissatisfied with the accident, but he was not anxious in the real sense, and he did not even make immediate remedies. He was obviously ready to give up on this person.
And there was no topic at all, and he didn't even give too many questions about the ceasefire time proposed by Abdi, which had to make Lille think more:
Alexander Pearson, if nothing else, was once the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and one of the current leaders of Hydra, with authority almost half a level higher than the other leaders.
His performance, in Lille's view, is completely saying: It doesn't matter, anyway, we have other plans to cover all the losses during this period.
Leer was also a little absent-minded in the subsequent conversation.
The negotiations did not even have much time to rest in the middle, because Abdi's request was only this one, and the other party agreed to it happily, so no one had a suitable reason to interfere with the ceasefire negotiations.
As for privately threatening the leader of the Somali transitional government to go back on his word and adjust the details, it seemed too obvious and it seemed that the gains would outweigh the losses.
After all, Abdi's request did not touch their core interests: Somalia must remain divided so that the army can continue to be transported to North Africa, turning it into a front line to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.
Li suddenly felt a little tricky--
To be honest, he didn't know what the big one was.
Because in this world, he didn't want the war to turn into a nuclear bomb, so the war technology he had at hand was not rich. In addition to firearms, armored vehicles, exoskeletons and military prostheses, which were more suitable for individual use, the slightly heavier weapons were electromagnetic guns.
On land, this electromagnetic gun has two ways to be deployed. One is to build it directly in a military base as a fixed cannon to deter the surrounding area of the base and as a wall on the front line.
And once Lille prepares the ballistic fire control algorithm, the electromagnetic gun's strike range can completely cover the near coastline, and it has a very good deterrent effect on landing ships, ships using artillery, and some land units.
The high temperature and kinetic energy of these large electromagnetic guns can easily penetrate most armor, and the electromagnetic rifles used by the army are also powerful. With military prostheses and exoskeletons, high-performance Mackinac mammoth military vehicles, a large number of drone tactics, and superior network technology escort, the army strength of Atlas and the African Union is quite strong, and Stark's drone armor is almost a complete victory.
But air units are still unsolvable. What can be done now is to continue to expand African steelmaking and military shipyards, strengthen coastal defense, and if aircraft carriers appear, continue to use wolf pack tactics, relying on excellent soldiers and small ships with strong mobility to attack.
As for naval battles, the existing exoskeletons must be upgraded, otherwise the soldiers will sink if they fall into the sea, and the casualty rate will be too high.
Secondly, finally, upgrade some electronic warfare equipment to expand the coverage of information weapons to the highest possible altitude.
So thinking about it, Lille opened the [Atlas Equipment R\u0026D Agency] again and added some projects on it:
[Advanced Machinery Research Institute: Missile Air Defense System/Gun Carriage; Air Unit.]
[Advanced Prosthetic Research Institute: Naval Exoskeleton/Prosthetic Improvement Project]
[Information Technology Research Institute: High-altitude Communication Interference, Decoy UAV]
No matter how the technology breaks through, large-scale application always requires more production capacity, so the foundation of civilian technology must be upgraded-
[Personal Research: Third-generation Brain-computer Interface; Production Prosthetics Based on Neurobionic Technology]
This is something that has been started a long time ago.
Just as Lille sent everything he thought of into the file one by one, the little octopus reminded him:
[Little Octopus: Big Brother, the negotiation is over. ]
Lille looked at the meeting.
In the virtual meeting, Abdi and the other party stood up, nodded to each other, and shook hands in the void.
Abdi looked at the black man who was several decades older than him. He could see a series of emotions in his eyes, such as fatigue, anger, understanding and indifference.
The information learned in the brain-computer interface was even more impressive. He also had an entire online think tank and AI to analyze the expressions on the other person's face for him.
At this time, he suddenly felt that the politician in front of him was not so difficult to deal with - this was a big shot that he could not reach.
Considering the unexpected speed and smoothness of this negotiation, he suddenly felt that he understood something.
Looking at the other party, a light suddenly flashed in his head: ". I hope that one day we can still shake hands like this, brother."
This statement was obviously beyond everyone's expectations, especially the black man opposite.
It made him not know what to say.
The black man opposite Abdi looked at Abdi's eyes and looked away without leaving a trace.
The atmosphere changed subtly. Some people frowned, some nodded, some nodded, and some sneered.
It seemed that an unexpected signal was transmitted, and people tacitly ended the negotiation.
