Rebirth of England.
Chapter 867: Operation Serval
Many times, people who are in the process cannot see some changes, but it is also very interesting to trace the development of many things and their changes based on interests.
For example, Cameron's attitude towards China now and in the future is like a "face-changing"; and the role played by France in Mali...
Well, at this time, France is still a "close friend" of the Malian government.
After the Kolo Corps' peacekeeping force took the initiative to attack and ambushed some harassment teams of the "Defenders of the Faith" rebel organization, the rebels retreated into Kona.
However, as more and more rebels arrived in Kona, it became clear that they were about to launch another attack in the southwest, towards Bamako, the capital of Mali.
On the evening of August 8, Hollande delivered a speech at the Elysee Palace, announcing that the French army will assist the Malian army in its military operations to protect the Malian people and 20 French expatriates in Mali and maintain regional peace and stability.
According to French media reports, Hollande defined this military deployment as a fight against "terrorists" and said that the military operation would last for the "necessary time" - France's military operation against the Malian rebels this time was also named "Operation Serval"!
This time, France decided to take action nearly four months earlier than in Barron's previous life.
The reason for this is probably related to the more active participation of Kolo, Niger and Burkina Faso in the AU peacekeeping mission, and the Kolo Corps peacekeeping force caused considerable casualties to the rebels in front of Bamako, the capital of Mali...
While Hollande was delivering his speech, the French military operation had quietly begun.
On August 8, the Malian army, with the support of France, launched a counterattack against the armed rebel groups that had recently occupied a town in central Mali.
The next day, the French Air Force launched an airstrike on Kona, reportedly killing at least 100 rebel militants.
After the airstrike, the Malian government forces, with the help of intelligence from the Kolo Corps peacekeeping force, entered Kona and basically occupied the important town within two days.
Since then, the French military operations in Mali have continued, and the number of participants has reached 2500.
On August 8, French ground troops arrived in Mali from their military bases in Chad and Côte d'Ivoire, and the military intervention operation also shifted from air strikes to joint ground-to-air strikes.
On the 26th, French ground forces entered the battle for the first time, advancing northward from the capital Bamako overnight and entering the small town of Jabali about 400 kilometers away, where they engaged in a fierce battle with the local extremist armed group "Defenders of the Faith".
As mentioned before, France's long-range delivery capabilities are very limited, but their military operations have received support from some countries. Although some NATO countries did not directly participate in this "Operation Serval", they also provided transportation capabilities for the French army.
Earlier on August 8, a British C-23 military transport aircraft arrived at the Evreux Air Force Base in France, and another transport aircraft will also go to provide support.
On the 24th, Canada dispatched a C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft to carry out a week-long supply transportation mission for the French army.
Belgium will also send two C-130 transport aircraft and two helicopters to participate in France's military intervention in Mali.
In Africa, the French army's actions have also received strong support from some countries and organizations. The African Union peacekeeping mission, including the Kolo Corps peacekeeping force, will cooperate with the French army in combat. In addition, several ECOWAS member states have announced that they will each send about 300 to 600 troops to form an ECOWAS force of about 3300 people to intervene in the Mali war.
At present, the first batch of ECOWAS troops arrived in Mali on the 27th local time.
In fact, the three countries including Colombo, Burkina Faso and Niger all have good relations with China, especially Colombo, which has close cooperation with China.
China has many cooperation projects in Mali. Another very important task of the Kolo Corps peacekeeping force is to focus on protecting the personal and property safety of Chinese personnel and institutions during the peacekeeping process.
As for the much-watched "international policeman" Uncle Sam, his reaction this time seemed very "calm".
On August 8, U.S. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland emphasized that U.S. personnel would not go to Mali, but U.S. military trainers "will arrive on the African continent this weekend" to help countries sending troops to Mali "prepare for deployment."
According to U.S. Defense Department officials, the U.S. military may provide assistance to France in air transportation and intelligence exchange.
The Wall Street Journal and other media commented that Washington's "limited response" inevitably reminds people of the situation when NATO attacked Libya, indicating that the United States, which is currently busy extricating itself from Afghanistan, "does not want to be dragged into another conflict."
……
It was at this time, on September 9, at the Devonshire Hospital in Kolobritta, as a baby cried, Yulia, who was waiting outside, looked at the closed ward door more and more nervously.
"Congratulations, ma'am, both babies are very healthy."
It was not until the nurse came out with the wrapped baby and said these words to her that Yulia breathed a sigh of relief. When she wanted to see the baby held by the two nurses, she was told that she needed to be washed first...
Just now, Natasha, a Russian girl from Ukraine, successfully gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. Although she needed a caesarean section, which would leave a scar on her abdomen, the result of these costs was that her future life would be changed.
"Can I see the baby?"
After the effect of the anesthetic wore off, Natasha looked at the nurse beside the bed and asked weakly.
When she saw the other person shaking his head, he asked her how she felt now...
There was disappointment in Natasha's eyes, and she just answered the nurse's questions mechanically.
After all, it was a ten-month pregnancy. Even if the genes of the two children had nothing to do with her, they were still connected by blood. Natasha was very sad when she knew she would never see them again.
Of course, from the employer's perspective, making such a decision is also to avoid emotional involvement between the girl and the child.
After all, not to mention the ten months of pregnancy, if the other party is also with the child during the subsequent breastfeeding period, which is the period when the mother establishes the initial and most important emotional connection with the child, then this process will make it more likely that the girl will find it difficult to give up the child, so it is necessary to simply cut off this connection from the beginning.
Moreover, in terms of material things, I have already made sufficient compensation for such things...
Julia Moore has already equipped a complete team in Brittany, which will take care of the two children for the next month and then send them back to their home in London by private jet.
Natasha needs to recuperate in Brittany for a while. After she recovers, she can go to England. Barron and Yulia can arrange an identity for her in England and provide her with enough money for her to live a life without worries.
