Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

The news from Somalia shocked the entire White House.

The confident action turned out to be a huge trap. Not only did they lose more than 20 helicopters, but thousands of elite American soldiers were also surrounded by Somali militants in a hotel.

And there is a high probability that a large amount of explosives were buried underground in the hotel, and these thousands of people could die at any time. This situation completely stunned the United States.

Originally, this action was for the United States to show off its strength and let the world see its military strength.

As a result, the strength was not shown, but it was covered in shit, which embarrassed the world.

Not only embarrassed the world, the failure of this action will also make many people see the other side of the United States.

They will feel that the United States is not so strong, and the powerful US military is so weak. A Somali armed organization can easily surround thousands of US troops.

Once this happens, the team will be difficult to lead. Some people will follow suit, and countries that were originally afraid of the United States may also gain a lot of confidence.

The Gulf War made the US military a god, and now the defeat in Somalia may directly pull the United States off the altar. This has a great impact on the US layout in the Middle East, and may even affect the layout of the US petrodollar.

You, the United States, the world's number one power, can't even deal with a group of militants in Somalia. You still want to dominate the world. What do you want? There will be many people who will not accept him by then.

"Where is our aircraft carrier?"

Clinton asked directly.

An officer directly reported the location of the aircraft carrier.

"Immediately dispatch two aircraft carriers and let the negotiators contact Aidid first to see what conditions he has. If the conditions are not excessive, agree to them first and rescue the people first..."

Clinton did not have time to hesitate and directly issued an order to let his aircraft carrier go first. Rescue the people first. If these more than 1,000 people were directly killed, it would be too bad for Clinton. He had not been in power for long and such a thing happened. This would hit his public opinion too much.

The United States took action, and in Somalia, the battle between Aidid and the US military also temporarily ceased.

However, no American troops surrendered, and thousands of people were forced to hide in this hotel that looked like a military base.

The entire hotel was simply overcrowded. If a few guided bombs were dropped from the air at this time, these American troops would be able to see God directly.

Some buildings around the hotel had been turned into ruins by the bombing of the US military, so the entire hotel seemed a little lonely, surrounded by Aidid's people alone.

The US military's negotiation expert was finally brought here, but he was knocked unconscious, stripped naked, and taken to a hidden place.

"American, what are you doing here?"

When he woke up, he saw Aidid sitting next to him.

"Mr. Aidid, I am here to negotiate on behalf of the United States. We want to know what conditions your organization can release our people..."

The negotiator asked directly without any fuss.

Hearing this, Aidid laughed. Sure enough, the United States wanted to use a deal to save people back.

"Want to negotiate? Okay, let your American soldiers lay down their weapons and surrender first, and we will definitely guarantee their safety. Then we can negotiate the terms?"

Aidid said coldly, which made the negotiator's face turn ugly.

"Aidid, this is impossible. We can give you more money and support you with more weapons and equipment, but you must let our people withdraw safely..."

The negotiator said coldly.

"Americans, it seems that you still can't see the situation clearly. Now your people are surrounded by our people. If I want, I can take their lives at any time..."

Aidid threatened directly. The negotiator was not afraid either, and looked at Aidid coldly.

"Aidid, you have to think it over. Once our people die, even if you run to the ends of the earth, we Americans will kill you..."

The negotiator threatened directly, which made Aidid's face turn cold.

"Send him out, Americans, go back and tell your people that if your people haven't surrendered before 8 o'clock tonight, I promise they will go to see God. As for killing me, I will kill more Americans before killing me. Do you believe it?"

Aidid looked fierce and didn't allow the American negotiator to speak again. The younger brother behind him knocked the negotiator unconscious with a stick and took him out of the room simply and roughly.

After the American negotiator left, Aidid returned to the command room through the tunnel.

"Mr. Sha, you really predicted it..."

Aidid looked at Shamedi and said, which made Shamedi laugh.

"General, these people are our life-saving talisman. If we really let these people go, our doomsday will come. After eight o'clock, if the US military does not come out, we will do it ourselves and capture these people first..."

Aidid nodded at Shamedi's words.

Yes, if we really let these people go, it will be our doomsday. If we have nothing to threaten the United States, the Americans will immediately bomb us. Even if they can't kill us, they can blow up Somalia.

The United States has never suffered such a big loss in these years. Now Aidid has made the United States suffer such a big loss. The United States will never give up until Aidid is killed.

Shamedi has analyzed this matter to Aidid a long time ago. Now whether Aidid can continue to live freely, these more than a thousand American soldiers are the most important bargaining chips.

As long as these more than 1,000 American soldiers are in hand, they can threaten the United States and gain more strategic buffer time.

The American negotiator was thrown naked at the gate of the US military camp by Aidid's men.

Seeing this scene, Lawson's face was so ugly.

"General, Aidid said that if our people don't come out to surrender before 8 o'clock in the evening, they will kill all our soldiers..."

The waking negotiator said. This made Lawson's face become extremely ugly.

In the US military camp, Lawson immediately reported the matter to his superiors. But the result made Lawson look extremely ugly.

"General Lawson, you are the supreme commander, and you should make the decision on this matter. "

The Pentagon directly passed the buck to Lawson, who was so angry that he wanted to curse. He knew that he was finished. No matter how he gave orders, his life was over.

If he gave orders for the soldiers to surrender, he would be sent to a military court.

But if he did not give orders and more than a thousand American soldiers died, he would also be sent to a military court.

In short, the Pentagon was ready to let Lawson take the blame for this matter.

Perhaps, at this moment, the Pentagon was expecting the death of more than a thousand American soldiers. If these people really died, the United States would have the most reasonable reason to send troops to Somalia and directly occupy this strategic location that could contain the Red Sea.
