In Beirut, the fighting is going on lively, as if all the bullets are going to be discharged before the ceasefire.
How many factions are there? How many small factions are divided into big factions? Moderate, radical, integrated, original, jihadist, domestic, foreign, government forces... everyone is mixed together. , it has long been unclear.
It is now 7 o'clock in the morning local time. Everyone started fighting as soon as they woke up, and it became more and more intense. People can't help but worry about whether such a chaotic fighting situation can achieve the short ceasefire agreed at 12 noon.
In the air traffic control room of the tower, the tallest building in the airport, Tafman looked at Beirut in the early morning with worry, and his heart was agitated; he was an observer of the United Nations, and he was responsible for the delivery and deployment of humanitarian relief supplies; for him It seems that as long as this batch of materials is safely handed over to the Lebanese government, he will have completed his mission, but this is not easy.
Although Beirut Airport, like all airports in the world, is built in the suburbs, it is different from the real suburbs of those countries with vast territories. It is limited to a limited land area and a relatively large population. In fact, the area around the airport is not really real. suburbs,
It is not an endless field or desert at all, but a variety of low buildings scattered randomly. It is not as dense as a slum, let alone a wilderness. It is a very advantageous place to lay an ambush here, especially In the sky, it is impossible to completely clean up the surrounding environment!
The sound of gunfire was already approaching the airport! Looking down from the tower, he could even vaguely see figures chasing each other running between the houses. This was the daily routine of this city in the recent period, just like early morning worship. Missing.
This place is too dangerous! Normal international flights have been suspended for a long time. No airline is willing to take this risk, and no insurance company will invest a penny here!
"Are you sure they will cease fire as agreed at the right time?" Tuffman asked the man next to him.
Aziz, the person in charge of the government's rescue operation, is also responsible for the security of the airport. Of course, it may be a bit of a joke to talk about security. You can hear the gunfire, and it is not far away. It is the local airport security. The locals have long been accustomed to it, but outsiders are the only ones who are worried here all day long, and they still can't adapt for a while.
Very sure, "It should be possible! The error is within half an hour! We have paid a lot of sincerity for this cooperation..."
Tuffman dismissed it, "Your sincerity means that whoever obeys can get a share of the relief supplies! I just want to know how many of these life-saving medical supplies will fall into the hands of ordinary people who really need them? "
If you want people to be obedient, you have to give benefits, as it should be! If the government had the ability to make these sectarian armed forces obedient, the whole country would not be in chaos like this. So, let me cease the fire, but I can get some relief supplies. ,It's that simple!
So in this sense, even though they are fighting fiercely now, this is just a show to get benefits! When the time comes, the gunfire suddenly stops, which gives the government and the United Nations face, and it also benefits itself.
United Nations officials like Tafman will never understand these little tricks.
As for how much of the relief supplies will fall into the hands of ordinary people, several religious sects will divide some of them, the government will use some to feed officials, and the rich and powerful businessmen will use some of it to do business. In the end, I am afraid that not even a cent will be left!
But Aziz explained it this way, "Personally, I love this country and hope it can get out of the war as soon as possible. Therefore, I hope more supplies can be taken away by those sectarian armed forces!"
Tafman opened his mouth in surprise, "Why?"
Aziz shook his head and sighed, "You don't understand this country! It would be a real nightmare if these supplies fell into the hands of the government and businessmen, because ordinary people cannot afford to buy them!
If it falls into the hands of the soldiers armed by the religious sect, it will be truly distributed among the people. Who among their family and friends are not ordinary people? There is no absolute fairness, but as long as the teachings are there, there will be partial fairness.
So, there is actually no need for you to worry!”
Tafman was speechless, this world is in chaos! But no matter what, if medical supplies are shipped here, someone will definitely benefit from it, no matter who it is, no matter how many, even if it cannot play a full role, part of it will be beneficial.
of.
It is impossible to expect things to be as perfect as those countries with legal systems. If the local government is really capable, this place cannot be in such chaos.
This is the meaning of his running. The same situation also happened in Africa, more violent and direct, but it was the killing of tribal groups, which is another matter.
An assistant hurried over and whispered a few words in Aziz's ear, which made his expression change drastically. After the assistant left, Tuffman couldn't help but ask,
"What happened? I am a United Nations official. I have the right to know everything related to the rescue. You can't hide it from me! Is someone trying to tear up the agreement?"
Aziz shook his head in embarrassment, "No, no religious sect can resist the temptation of drugs. This is also a necessity for them to win over ordinary people and protect their soldiers!
Well, what happened just now was that a small extremist organization attacked a government arsenal and stole some weapons! But don’t worry, the arsenal has been recaptured and the loss will not be big! "
Tuffman said angrily: "I can't rest assured! Because you didn't even tell me what weapons are in the arsenal? Are there heavy weapons? Rocket launchers? RPG? Rifle grenades? Mortars? If they are all police pistols, I
I’m too lazy to care about such nonsense!”
Aziz comforted him, "Don't worry! There will never be those heavy weapons you mentioned! Mainly just some long and short firearms, um, but things like RPGs are everywhere now, can they still be considered heavy weapons?"
Tuffman was completely speechless, "Then according to your understanding, what counts as a heavy weapon? A nuclear bomb?
I am here to discuss matters as they arise, and anything that can threaten the takeoff and landing of aircraft is considered a heavy weapon!"
He must ensure the safety of the plane's landing! Because this is the rescue plane of the WPC! Today, when the United Nations is gradually declining, any disturbance will offend the sensitive nerves of these five men!
They must be careful, there are still many people in the United Nations waiting for these five bosses to pay their salaries!
However, he does not have the strength of his direct subordinates. As a mere commander, he can only bite Aziz to death!
Aziz finally managed to get this troublesome and timid UN official over, and then found an opportunity to send a text message to his colleague:
Please confirm whether the Stinger missile is missing from the arsenal? Be sure to give me an accurate reply before 12 o'clock!
