Question: How long does it take to overthrow a regime in a small African country?

The answer is: one week!

When the whole world was still shocked by the most tragic racist massacre after World War II in Rwanda, when the United Nations and governments all over the world were in a hurry about Simon Westero’s act of sending troops to Rwanda in his own name. At that time, from April 20 to April 26, a series of military operations by Westeros mercenaries in Rwanda once again made the whole world stunned.

On the morning of April 20, Rwanda local time, 3,000 Ukrainian mercenaries who had just arrived in this small African country in just one day were dispatched. The 10,000 regular troops dispatched by the Rwandan government arrived between the capital Kigali and the Westero refugee camp on Lake Kivu. Before the city of Gutalama, it was unexpectedly the first attack on the Rwandan government forces in a hilly area about 20 kilometers outside the capital Kigali.

The commander of the Rwandan government forces, who had obviously underestimated the strength of the Westeros mercenaries, made a very stupid decision.

Knowing that Westeros mercenaries rushed towards him, the commander gave up the opportunity to withdraw to the capital, Kigali, and was stationed in place, planning to use his number advantage to engage in an encounter with Westeros mercenaries.

As a result of this, after 24 Ukrainian mercenaries quickly completed a three-sided attack on 10,000 Rwandan government forces, only the first round of armored vehicle artillery, helicopter rockets and hundreds of mortars were covered by intensive firepower. It directly led to the collapse of the Rwandan government forces that were caught off guard.

Africa is really poor.

Especially before the 21st century, the past melee between African warlords was basically dominated by backward individual weapons from the Cold War era. The relatively high-end weapons were only tanks and individual missiles. As for more advanced fighters or armed helicopters, On the one hand, they cannot afford it. On the other hand, even if they can afford it, these soldiers will not use it at all in African countries where ordinary armies need to borrow the power of foreign military advisers for training.

After all, if the air force wants to build combat effectiveness, it is definitely not just as simple as flying an airplane, but also through long-term and expensive training.

Therefore, faced with the heavy fire coverage of Ukrainian mercenaries, the eight tanks that the Rwandan government relied on as treasures were destroyed by the anti-tank missiles of the Mi-24 gunship before they had time to respond. The government army’s small number of mortars and rocket launchers did not organize any effective counterattack even when the army quickly collapsed.

It only lasted for less than 15 minutes. The Rwandan government forces, who lost thousands of people in the first round of firepower coverage due to the previous wrong layout of the intensive battlefield, began to head towards the Kigali gap left by the Westeros mercenaries. flight.

In order to prevent the government from dispersing in all directions, the Westeros mercenaries continued to pursue steadily with a three-sided pincer pocket array under the cover of helicopters and armored vehicles, and finally in an area less than 10 kilometers away from the capital Kigali, they were responsible for outflanking. The last six mercenary companies blocked the'pocket' exit.

Simon's order before the action was that he needed an annihilation war to eliminate as much of the Rwandan government forces as possible.

This hint is already very obvious.

The fewer prisoners, the better.

Therefore, when the Westeros mercenaries completed their encirclement of the Rwandan government forces and faced the remaining thousands of African soldiers who had completely collapsed, the mercenaries continued their fierce attack for half an hour before they began shouting to accept surrender.

After three hours of fighting, with 10,000 Rwandan government troops, there were fewer than 2,300 remaining soldiers when they finally surrendered.

However, due to Simon's order, the casualties of Westeros mercenaries also exceeded expectations. Under the absolute advantage, 126 mercenaries were still killed and 379 injured in varying degrees.

If the collapsed Rwandan government forces are forced to surrender after the Westeros mercenaries complete their encirclement, 10,000 Rwandan government forces can survive at least 5,000 people, and the casualties of Westeros mercenaries can also be halved.

Simon did not do this.

Because what he needs is a ruthless and **** shock, directed at the Rwandan government in Kigali, and countless spectators staring at this small African country.

Simon just wanted to tell many people.

That's right.

The Simon Westero who came out of Watsonville Mental Hospital is still a lunatic in his bones.

It's never been better.

A total of 505 casualties, accounting for one-sixth of the total number of mercenaries in Ukraine, such battle damage has been very serious.

In the Westeros mercenary, Adam Rowell, the commander of the South African EO company, was hired by the Angolan government army in 1992 to take part in a military operation against the rebels. At that time, he led an EO battalion with 300 people to cooperate with the government army. After fighting with the Angolan opposition for three months, it directly hit Salabi, the armed leader of the opposition with 60,000 troops, who took the initiative to seek peace talks. The battalion led by Rowell eventually only killed 19 people. The entire EO company suffered only a few hundred casualties during those months.

South Africa’s EO’s main source of strength is retired white elite soldiers from several countries in southern Africa, but the combat effectiveness is actually not as good as the former Soviet Red Army soldiers who generally have more than 10 years of service experience.

As for the Rwandan government forces, their strength is comparable to that of the Angolan Salabi rebels, and they are all at the same low level.

However, rabbits can bite when they are anxious.

The casualties of 3,000 to 10,000, 505 people are not small, but not many.

In fact, it was mainly because the Ukrainian mercenaries were solely responsible for this battle, and did not cooperate with the Angolan government forces like EO.

Although they lost one-sixth of their troops and ended the first battle, the Westeros mercenaries did not return to the camp to rest. They handed the injuries and prisoners of war to the South African EO mercenary team. After completing the logistics supply, they still maintained The remaining 2,500 Ukrainian mercenaries of combat power directly marched into Kigali, Chen Bing, outside the capital of Rwanda.

In just half a day, 30,000 regular troops were wiped out and 10,000 people were wiped out. Even if the capital Kigali still retains 12,000 regular troops and another more than 10,000 militias, the Rwandan government is still greatly shocked. On the one hand, it urgently appealed to the international community to intervene to stop the'atrocities' committed by Westeros mercenaries in Rwanda. On the other hand, they began to actively prepare for war and tried to incite millions of civilians in Kigali to join the fight against Westeros mercenaries. Ranks.

It's just that both are destined to be in vain.

The United Nations, also temporarily stunned by the unexpected swift military actions of Westeros mercenaries, can only routinely issue official rhetoric calling for restraint on both sides.

As for the instigation of civilians by the Rwandan government forces, the effect is almost nothing.

At the same time as the military operations, the Westeros system was also engaged in a battle of public opinion that was admired and even imitated by many people afterwards.

The Rwandan government’s radio network was cleared one day in advance, but another set of high-powered broadcasting facilities was set up in the Westeros refugee camp to publicize the purpose of the Westeros mercenaries to Rwanda. Before the outbreak of the war on the morning of April 20, the six helicopters of South African EO that had not participated in the war flew across Rwanda, throwing millions of flyers printed in English, French and other languages.

Through broadcasts and leaflets, Westeros mercenaries unilaterally declared that Rwanda had entered a state of martial law, requiring all civilians to stay at home as far as possible or as far away from the war zone as possible. All civilians who rashly appear in public, all rioters who continue to participate in the riots, and all unidentified persons close to the Westeros mercenaries will be shot and killed indiscriminately as militants.

Not only is it shocking, the Westeros mercenaries also made promises to appease people.

First of all, Westeros mercenaries guarantee that after the current government is overthrown, the new government will not retaliate against the Hutu in the country in any form except for committing unforgivable massacres of high-level government officials, the national army and a small number of civilians.

Secondly, the Westeros mercenaries announced that Rwanda’s original household registration system that distinguished races would be abolished immediately, and population registration will be re-registered after the war, and races will no longer be divided.

Finally, the Westeros mercenaries also publicly promised that the death penalty would be abolished in Rwanda after the war. The subtext is that even the civilians who participated in this riot will not be executed even if they are held accountable after the war.

After all, the nature of most ordinary people is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Facing the large-scale propaganda by Westeros mercenaries through radio and leaflets, especially after the news spread that 10,000 government troops were annihilated by Westeros mercenaries in just a few hours, civilians in Rwanda basically All honestly stay behind closed doors.

In the end, the Rwandan government's attempt to instigate the Kigali people against the Westeros mercenaries did not receive any response.

Westeros mercenaries arrived in Kigali and destroyed the city’s power system in the first place. The radio network was completely paralyzed one day in advance. The tweeters that were barely erected were often used by Westeros mercenaries as soon as they sounded. Long-range fire removal.

Instead, it is the Westeros mercenaries. In addition to the public opinion offensive of their own radio stations and mass leaflets, they also set up a PA system outside Kigali to continue to propagate the city residents.

Under the dual force of military oppression and public opinion offensive, except for a small number of civilians who fled Kigali because of fear of the war, most of them stayed at home as honestly as quail.

After the government of Rwanda, trapped in a state of beasts, used all the means of seeking peace with Westeros mercenaries but all failed, on April 22, Rwandan President Theodore issued an order to be stationed in Biwenba, northern Rwanda. The city and the Tutsi opposition party withdrew from the 8,000 government forces that were confronting each other, intending to gather all their troops and give it a go.

This happened to be in the arms of Westeros mercenaries.

As soon as the eight thousand Rwandan government forces withdrew from the city of Biwenba, a joint force composed of the Tutsi Rwandan Patriotic Front and the Ugandan government army entered the city and began to pursue the eight thousand government forces.

The Westeros mercenaries who received the news were even more decisive, and once again fought a devastating battle of annihilation in the 15 kilometers north of Kigali.

8000 to 2500, there is still no way to fight back.

Not only that, the defeated Rwandan government forces also engulfed 3,000 Rwandan opposition and Ugandan government forces while fleeing northward. It was not until outside Biwenba that they were stopped by the main force of the combined opposition forces and Ugandan government forces.

According to statistics after the war, 8,000 Rwandan government forces are left with less than 2,600, and 3,000 of the coalition forces trapped in them are only 1,000. As for how many of the 2,000 killed in battle were accidentally injured by Westeros mercenaries, The coalition forces, who were also afraid of the strength of this mercenary, did not dare to pursue it at all, and could only declare that these soldiers were killed in battle with the Rwandan government forces.

In this battle, the number of Ukrainian mercenaries killed in the battle was reduced to 81, and 263 others were injured because the "pockets" were not blocked for relatively fierce encirclement and annihilation.

However, the 12 Mi-24 gunship helicopters of Westeros mercenaries finally suffered losses in this battle. Two of them were shot down and crashed, and one tail was hit. All crew members survived after being forced to land. The helicopter itself lost combat power.

This loss was not caused by the rabble of Rwandan government forces, but from the French advisory group that was hidden in the Rwandan government forces before they had time to withdraw.

After the war, only 36 members of the 59-member French advisory group survived. All French prisoners, including their bodies, were secretly escorted back to the Westeros refugee camp by Westeros mercenaries.

The armed opposition leader Paul Kamega, who also knew exactly what this incident meant, raised objections, hoping that the coalition forces would accept the prisoners and make the incident publicly evidence that France interfered in Rwanda’s internal affairs and caused the massacre. In the face of the absolute strength of the Westeros mercenaries, the protest was invalid.

Although there were some minor differences, after the annihilation of the Rwandan 8,000 government forces, the remaining 2,100 Westeros mercenaries combined with a total of 22,000 Rwandan opposition and Ugandan government forces quickly approached Kigali and directly surrounded the Rwandan capital. .

On April 23, the opposition coalition forces began to enter the city to attack the Rwandan government forces. After four days of fierce street fighting, on April 26, the coalition forces broke through the Rwandan Presidential Palace. The Rwandan Acting President Theodore joined a number of government officials. The soldiers were killed, all remaining government forces surrendered, and the Hutu regime that had been in charge of Rwanda for 20 years was annihilated.

According to the original plan, in order to avoid accusations about civilian casualties, the Westeros mercenaries did not participate in the final battle, but only provided a small amount of air fire support. At the end of the fighting on April 26, Westeros mercenaries decisively withdrew to the Westeros refugee camp on Lake Kivu.

After urgent consultations, Paul Kamega, the leader of the Rwandan Patriotic Front, who has just taken over the country, and the Westeros mercenaries jointly issued the "Rwanda Peace Statement". The core of the statement is that the Westeros mercenaries have previously announced through radio and leaflets. All promises of the new government will be fulfilled.

At the same time, the new government agreed to allocate 2,000 acres of land near the Westeros refugee camp on Lake Kivu as a long-term military base for Westeros mercenaries. Westeros mercenaries will continue to be stationed in Rwanda and assist in the surrender of Rwanda. The remaining Hutu armed forces in Rwanda until the political situation in Rwanda is completely stable.

Also under the promotion of the senior level of Westeros mercenaries, in order to quickly stabilize the political situation in Rwanda and further alleviate the domestic Hutu civilians’ concerns about subsequent cleansing, the leader of the Rwandan Patriotic Front, Paul Kamega, who was born in Tutsi, also voluntarily gave up. As the presidency, he only served as vice president and minister of defense. The new presidency of Rwanda was taken over by Pasteur Bizimungu, a Hutu-born high-ranking member within the Rwandan Patriotic Front.
