Private military contractor, which is a legitimate term for mercenaries, and a term that makes heads of countries bothersome and difficult to put down.
They resort to war as business. In order to carry out their tasks, they can care less about international law, civilian casualties, or all moral issues, and accomplish the most difficult tasks with the lowest cost. They are notorious, but their employers do not need to worry about their bad reputation. I have to say that they are much easier to use than the regular army.
Speaking of mercenaries, the United States has to be mentioned here. I am afraid that no country in the world can understand the meaning of mercenaries better than they are, as if it is only rogues who can understand the villains.
From the Persian Gulf to Afghanistan, the black blood flowing in the steel machinery can smoothly flow from the third world to the first world, half of the credit belongs to these desperates.
Not only the frontal battlefield, but in some politically turbulent areas, the sound and shadow of American mercenaries can be seen. As long as necessary, private military companies can appear in places where the Pentagon is unwilling and inconvenient to replace them to complete the mission of exporting US military and diplomatic influence to the world, even if they fail. This is undoubtedly more useful than the Marine Corps. Sending ground troops to land in other countries is an act of war, but sending mercenaries is not.
However, the social problems brought about by this kind of military privatization are also huge. Expecting private mercenaries to observe moral discipline in other countries is undoubtedly an unrealistic luxury.
In 2006, the shooting of civilians in Iraq by the US military set off a brazen wave on the Internet. It was later confirmed that the perpetrators were two contractors of the Sanye Jungle. The reason for committing the crime is ridiculous and shocking. A colleague of one of the perpetrators confirmed that he had said that he must kill an individual that day because he had never beaten anyone in Iraq.
But no matter what, the US military avoided a lawsuit from a human rights organization because the murderer was not a soldier.
Although for the infamous U.S. military, the lack of such infamy is nothing better than nothing.
Now, the international issues facing the new country and the Philippines are the same.
Regardless of whether the Philippine fishing boat that sank into the military restricted zone is set aside, whether Ivan ’s “one-minute warning” meets the “effective warning” standard, and whether the military operations of mercenaries alone can be counted as war Behavior is a matter that has not been finalized internationally.
Then the question is coming, the new country hires private mercenaries to protect the national borders, and the private mercenaries actually sank Filipino fishermen who did not heed the warning according to the law. Is the new country wrong in this matter?
Intrusion into a military base and placed in any country has the right to kill the intruder, but generally there are few countries that enforce this right. Instead, they are driven out of humanitarian considerations or detained for further humanitarian reasons. To avoid causing international problems.
Does any country really enforce this right? Of course there are. For example, on July 11, 2008, a Korean female tourist traveling to Mount Kumgang entered the North Korean military restricted zone by mistake and was shot dead by North Korean soldiers. Although North Korea is correct, it is "regrettable". The South Korean government announced on the 11th that it will temporarily ban nationals from traveling to North Korea from the 12th.
It ’s just that the problems facing the new country are much lighter, because it is the private military contractors that sink the fishing boat, not the regular army of the new country.
Speaking of which, I have to praise the new cabinet formed by President Zhang Yaping, and they have handled the crisis public relations really well.
Jiang Chenxia ’s order was only one, that is, “the territory issue will never be compromised, the sovereignty issue will never make concessions, and there will be no apology if there are no errors.”
Although the minister of defense of the new country is a bare-bones commander, he still put forward a very constructive speech. For example, perfunctory Philippine by playing football. He insisted that it was Xinghuan Trading Company that sank the fishing boat, not the authorization of the Ministry of Defense.
On the other hand, Xinghuan Trading Company insisted that it was only performing its tasks and fulfilling its obligations to defend its borders in strict accordance with the contract. To blame the contract and the law, we just paid for it.
As a result, Philippine diplomatic personnel kicked the ball from both sides.
Just like Tai Chi grinding for more than half a month, under Jiang Chen's instruction, the work of salvaging the sunken ship finally began.
Although Philippine vessels are not allowed to enter the country to assist in salvage, the new country has invited representatives of some international media to participate in this salvage process to ensure the "fairness" of the salvage results.
However, to everyone ’s surprise, assault rifles and other light weapons and equipment were actually found on the Philippine fishing boat.
Why are light weapons found on the fishing boat, is it stolen or framed? For a time, the major media also had different opinions, and had no final conclusion on the incident itself.
At the same time, for decades, Philippine fishermen have invaded the Panu Islands fishermen in the waters near Crescent Island, and the malpractices of several malicious collisions with Xinguo fishing boats have been sorted out. Including the dictation of the dead fisherman ’s son, including related documents, a 50-minute documentary was made and published on a social platform. Immediately afterwards, this video was reproduced in the news push panel of Future One 1.0 and accompanied by an eye-catching title to push it to the world.
"Is it a pirate or a fisherman?" Counting the demerits of Filipino fishermen under the government's connivance "
Only one day after this video was launched, the number of hits exceeded ten million. Other online media followed the trend and reproduced it in a brazen wave of international public opinion. Almost all public opinion that sympathizes with the Philippines has turned to attacking the Philippines.
The Philippine government, even if it jumps out, accuses Future International of being untrue in this matter, there are exaggerated elements, and the news media has abided by its neutral position, and it cannot be favored by the engineering cooperation relationship with the new country. country.
At the same time, the Philippine press spokesman also requested that Future International immediately delete the relevant remarks and apologize to the Filipinos.
Will Jiang Chen apologize to a group of monkeys? Obviously not.
Futureman International issued a statement that the video does not represent the company ’s position. Futureman 1.0 is just a reprinted video, not the publisher of the video, and does not assume any responsibility. At the same time, in the name of freedom of expression, Future International refused to delete the video and refused to apologize.
Although this move caused strong dissatisfaction in the Philippines, it won the collective applause of the outsiders, the Chinese people.
It is precisely because of this that instead of suffering losses in the future, technology will benefit a lot.
......
"Are you all a group of pigs eating shi!" Aquino scolded violently, pointing at the Philippine Foreign Minister. "How many times have I said it? Tough! To exert pressure on their government with a strong attitude." ! We have 120,000 troops, 11 times more than their total population! "
"But Mr. President ... We have been tough enough in our diplomatic decree. Some statements can even be regarded as a threat to war, but they don't seem to be afraid of us." The Foreign Minister smiled bitterly.
Aquino froze.
"It seems necessary to knock them down, this group of monkeys in the Pacific is simply ignorant and thick." The Secretary of Defense proposed viciously.
"But the US side has allowed us to exercise restraint on this issue. Excessive pressure may cause neutral countries to fall to the Chinese camp." The Minister of Foreign Affairs raised an objection.
"But if we do nothing, our people will not be satisfied." The Defense Minister argued.
Listening to the quarrels among cabinet members, Aquino was lost in thought.
Suddenly, a fierce flash in his eyes.
"Mercenary ... Mercenary, isn't it, very good."
He already has an idea in his mind. (To be continued.)
