Chapter 1572 Rogue Terminator (rd update, please subscribe)
On that day, not only 13 training camps were attacked at the same time, but also some Ethiopian factories, including the arsenal in Addis Ababa, were destroyed in the name of supporting "terrorist activities."

Although a few Tomahawk cruise missiles cannot completely destroy the factory, the "Tomahawk" itself is an attitude, telling them and everyone that we can launch an attack at any time.

Although the Ethiopian representative protested at the United Nations after being attacked by Tomahawk missiles, asking the United Nations to stop the SEA's atrocities and its invasion of Ethiopia's sovereignty, in the face of accusations from various countries at the UN meeting, the SEA representative simply sarcastically said:

"You can't just remember that sovereignty is inviolable when you're under a tomahawk attack!"

Faced with such irony, all countries were silent for a while. Then, the SEA representative solemnly announced that they would continue to crack down on cross-border terrorist activities.

"...We will use our actual actions to tell all terrorists that national borders are not safety lines. We will use all measures, including Tomahawk missiles, to strike terrorist training camps and, of course, those rogue countries that support terrorist actions."

Such words naturally caused an uproar, and Eastern countries including the Soviet Union accused SEA of being the real rogue and called on all countries to unite to fight against this international rogue.

Although the condemnation was finally passed, it is well known that it is meaningless. After all, SEA is a well-known rogue who never cares about international "public opinion" or face.

In order to protect their own interests, they always adopt the most direct approach and will never stop their actions because of a few words of condemnation from others. Even condemnation from other countries will only make them worse. They will even use this method to warn other countries in a rampant manner - look, this is the price of condemning me!

"It's just a waste paper making machine."

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Office of Emergency Affairs, facing the resolution adopted by the United Nations, Wang Changqing said in a contemptuous tone:
"It means nothing."

This contempt for the United Nations is a common phenomenon in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is not that they look down on the United Nations, but because of the way the United Nations handles problems.

"Yes, it doesn't make any sense. The United Nations has lost its meaning since it cannot truly treat all countries fairly. They can't condone other countries' support for militants and insurgency while accusing other countries of cross-border attacks on armed separatists."

Song Zheyu, who was sitting on a swivel chair, chuckled as he spoke:
"Representative Xu's words - you can't just remember that sovereignty is inviolable when you're under attack by a tomahawk! It's a classic and can be applied to all aspects."

When mentioning this sentence, there is inevitably a hint of admiration in the tone. After all, this sentence is so classic.

"Yes, it is indeed a universal sentence. Representative Xu is also an old foreign affairs officer, so it is normal for him to have golden sentences."

While Wang Changqing was speaking, he glanced at the colored lights indicating the safety alert level and said:
"Today seems to be another peaceful day!"

It was a peaceful day, indeed a peaceful day for those who were in the local area.

In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Office, while Wang Changqing and Song Zheyu were expressing their feelings about world peace, at the same time, in the official residence a few kilometers away, Li Guoren, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, was making a report.

"…So, a resolution is just a resolution."

Li Guoren looked at His Excellency and concluded:
"It will not have any impact on us, including on public opinion. After all, in the past two years, both the United States and Europe have suffered many terrorist attacks. Therefore, our launching of cross-border attacks in the name of the "war on terror" is undoubtedly a very appropriate reason to win a certain amount of sympathy from public opinion."

“Indeed, terrorist activities have brought extremely serious harm to civilians in all countries, and anti-terrorist actions will surely win support around the world.”

When talking about terrorist activities, Li Yian couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The butterfly's wings underwent some changes here. It was originally from this era that Western European countries fell into a frenzy of terrorist attacks. In the next ten years, the waves of terrorist attacks covered one after another.

However, the attacks were mainly focused on European countries. In comparison, the situation in Taiwan was relatively calm. Although the black civil rights movement was getting stronger and stronger and some extreme incidents occurred, it was calm overall.

However, under the influence of the butterfly's wings, along with the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, the black civil rights movement in the United States also underwent a qualitative change. After the nationwide riots, the black civil rights movement suffered a severe blow. At the same time, extreme organizations including the Black Panther Party did not calm down, but won more support.

With the support of foreign forces, namely the KGB, they were trained in training camps in Cuba and then returned to the United States to carry out various activities, including some extreme members who carried out terrorist attacks.

It is for this reason that terrorist activities are now a huge headache for countries around the world, and ordinary people who have suffered greatly from them certainly support anti-terrorism actions. After all, they have seen the damage that terrorist activities have caused to themselves.

"So we have to make some changes next time, um..."

After thinking for a while, Li Yian continued:

"In the news releases, we should no longer describe them as rebels, but as terrorists. Yes, they are terrorists. We should completely destroy their image as so-called independence fighters and turn them into terrorists that everyone wants to kill."

In fact, many things are wars of public opinion. As long as you win the support of public opinion, victory will not be far away.

In the context of the Cold War, the United States would call the people they supported freedom fighters, and the Soviet Union would call the people they supported independence fighters.

In short, they will give the faction they support a high-sounding name for their own benefit, and then show that they are the righteous party.

And what about the other party?
Most of the time they are either rebels, foreign puppets or colonialists.

But no matter how they call each other, it cannot fundamentally solve the problem, because, in this context, they are warriors.

"If we call them insurgents, then they are guerrillas, they are fighters for freedom or independence.

In this context, how can we win the general support of public opinion? " Li Yian said while thinking:
"So we have to use a different name - terrorists! Since we are waging a war on terror, they are no longer organic people, nor are they insurgents, but terrorists from terrorist organizations. In this case, we do not need to consider the Geneva Convention."

It's not just a matter of the Geneva Convention, it's also about responding to pressure from the international community.

"We must win this war of public opinion in order to win the support of the international community. Of course, this is not limited to East Africa, but also includes Jakarta, where there are also terrorists, but this terrorist has usurped the state power."

In fact, as long as one is strong enough, one can arbitrarily accuse some weak countries of being terrorist organizations or rogue states.

This world is so realistic.

Listening to your decision, Li Guoren thought for a moment and said.

"Well, that's probably difficult. After all, people may not necessarily agree with this view."

"It doesn't matter."

Li Yi arranged his hands and said:
"It's important that we tell the world that we are in the war on terror. We are fighting terrorism.

As for whether they believe it or not, does it matter?
important.

So this is part of the war of public opinion. Maybe they don’t believe it now, but when we repeat it 1000 times, they will definitely believe it.”

While quoting Goebbels's famous words, Li Yian also said:

"All we need to do is use all the channels of public opinion at our disposal to suppress their voices and tell the world who the terrorists are."

Who are the terrorists?
It's not about whether they have carried out such actions.

Instead, it can be adjusted at any time according to needs.

Hearing what you said, Li Guoren naturally understood what you meant and said.

"I understand. I will do my best to arrange this."

"Well, the Investigation Department will also cooperate with your actions."

Then Li Yian asked again.

"By the way, have all the people from our representative office in Ethiopia been evacuated?"

Why weren't all personnel from the mission in Ethiopia evacuated before the operation?

This was not to keep the military operation secret, but because it was unnecessary, because Li Yian did not believe that Mengistu of Ethiopia would dare to attack his own people.

"The military aircraft that took off from Paradise Island has landed at the local airport. All personnel are being evacuated gradually. They will soon leave Ethiopia safely."

While Li Guoren reported truthfully, he also said:

"Sir, according to the intelligence obtained by the delegation, Mengistu immediately visited the Soviet ambassador after we launched the attack.

Far from serving as a warning, the attack further solidified the relationship between them and the Soviets.

Their cooperation will continue to deepen.”

"It's inevitable."

Li Yian nodded and said:
"Mengistu will definitely continue to lean towards the Russians. He will never leave the Russians because of our attack. But will they realize what kind of threat the Russians will bring to them?
All we need is to expand their ideas and further increase the resentment between them.

Um……"

After thinking for a while, Li Yian said:
"As the grudges continue to grow, they will eventually break up with each other. Everything we are doing now is preparing for that future breakup."

Li Yian raised the corner of his mouth and said:
"You have to know that the Russians have always been very aggressive towards their allies. But Mengistu is not yet an ally of the Russians. What we need is to turn him into an ally of Russia.

At the right time, strike back with a powerful blow! "

After a brief pause, Li Yian smiled and said:
"By then, Russia's presence in Ethiopia will have come to an end."
