"We are indeed facing great pressure from the Soviet Union now, and I agree. Since this is the case, we will provide assistance to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and communicate with allies. We must know that our allies are very dissatisfied with us. We cannot get help from France's power in Africa..." Ford was also a little worried. France and the United States often disagree on issues such as East-West relations, internal relations of the Western Union, and regional situation. The Nixon government has made some efforts to improve relations with France, but achieved little success. The joint oil embargo with Arab countries after the Middle East War caused the US-France relations to trough.

The Soviet Union has always been making small moves in Africa, but never touched the French sphere of influence. France did not see this friendly attitude towards the expansion of the Soviet Union. Besides, since the death of Charles de Gaulle, France's pro-Soviet power has been unprecedentedly strong, occupying half of France's territory. Coupled with the issue of gold prices and exchange rates, Ford needs to set a tone for the future government.

There are also the problems of the United States and Japan, the problems of the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany, which made Ford have to make stabilizing his allies the first. The Western Conference of Seven Kingdoms is the reason why he considers American allies.

A few hours later, President Ford went to Congress to say that the United States would provide assistance to the Democratic Republic of Congo, because the United States cannot ignore the shadow of the Soviet Union behind Sudan. "As long as I serve as president for one day, we will never allow ease the permit to become a fisherman in troubled waters. Easing must be inconsistent with each other."

The US Congress then allocated 300 million US dollars of aid to support Mobutu. At the same time, it began to mobilize transportation forces to send military aid to Kinshasa. At the same time, the US media condemned the war that there was a shadow of the manipulation of a great power. The United States must restore peace to Africa. This is the United States' international responsibility, etc....

"I'm saying so noble, isn't it for the sake of interests? They really regard themselves as saviors? Why doesn't the United States, the world's largest grain-producing country, allocate some food to rescue the Democratic Republic of the Congo? We saw half of the population of the Democratic Republic of Congo fall into famine. We support Sudan, but so many people have not starved to death." Serov, who had just bought an electric shave, kept rubbing his chin. If the United States wants to help Mobuto, in fact, delivering food is far more effective than sending arms.

The world economic crisis and oil crisis were more famous in the 1970s, but in fact, this was a problem that Europe and the United States encountered. There is one problem that has encountered more countries around the world, that is, the world food crisis that most countries around the world have encountered. Especially in third world countries, a wide range of food crises exist, and Africa is even more of a severely affected area.

If the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo could have enough food, given that they were twice the population of Sudan, even if the blacks lacked some talent in the war, the Congolese army would never be so easy for the Sudanese People's Army to capture more than 10,000 people on the first day and killed 400 Congolese soldiers...

"The management of the prisoner-of-war camp is left to us. We send cadres ourselves and at the same time, let the political commissar of the Sudan People's Army enter the prisoner-of-war camp to maintain order. These soldiers have room for transformation, and black people are still easy to fool. Even the Sudan of the Peace Cult can suppress it, which should be even less of a problem for the Democratic Republic of the Congo." Selov put down his razor and ordered, "Let Comrade Zinev pay attention to this issue."

The Sudanese People's Army made rapid progress in the first week, and its troops were directed to Kisangani, the third largest city in the Kingo. Kisangani is the largest city in the northeast of the Kingo. It has a railway to directly connect to the capital Kinshasa. From here, you can overcome the greatest geographical difficulties in the Congo River.

The Sudan People's Army encountered the first large-scale resistance in Kisangani. In this city, there was a division of the Kyrgyzstan Congo troops. The division commander was Mobutu's confidant. He looked down on the Sudan People's Army's persuasion to surrender and said that the United States would soon support the Congo. Even if Sudan had the Soviet Union behind it, it would definitely not be an opponent of the Americans.

The importance of Kisangani is related to the progress of the Sudan People's Army. They must solve the country during the dry season, otherwise they may fall into this Central African country once the rainy season is not smooth.

The seriousness of the matter cannot be underestimated. The battle broke out suddenly. After completing the artillery attack, the Sudan People's Army rushed into Kisangani with the tank division as an arrow and launched the first tough battle since entering the Kyongo territory. The whole day, there was constant gunfire in the city of Kisangani, and the quality of the Congolese army was far behind that of the Sudan People's Army.

After a day of firefighting, the Sudanese People's Army killed less than 100 people, killed 400 Congolese soldiers, captured more than 2,000 prisoners at the same time, and occupied Kisangani the next night, and the rest of the KDP soldiers were unknown.

The Democratic Congo's army on the Sudan border has basically disappeared because the Congo River separates the Congo troops on the border from the homeland. In the first week of battle, the Sudan People's Army annihilated all the Congo troops blocked by the Congo River and could not retreat. They sent them to one prisoner of war camp after another that had been established.

After Kisangani was occupied, the railway was not destroyed and soon resumed operation, becoming a transit station for the Sudan People's Army to attack Congo. Just one week after the war began, the troops that accounted for one-third of the total number of the KMT troops had disappeared. This surprised Mobuto. He didn't know that this was because of his deployment, which led to the northern army being blocked by the Congo River. Instead, he believed that someone in the country was opposed to him and contacted Sudan.

So while eliminating the opposition, Mobutu began to appeal to Western countries, especially hope that the United States would interfere in Sudan's aggression, otherwise the entire Africa might be controlled by the Soviet Union.

On the Kisangani railway, rows of military supplies were sent to the Sudan People's Army. At the same time, the troops composed of black South Sudanese people were responsible for the stability of Kisangani. The Sudan People's Army composed of Arabs continued to march after two days of rest and was preparing to use the railway to attack the Kintoku Fudi and attack Kinshasa.

Mobutu's appeal attracted the attention of Europe and the United States, and they all hoped that the Soviet Union would stop Sudan's behavior. However, the Kremlin, which had already formulated a plan, turned a deaf ear to it. Compared with Western European countries, the Americans were obviously more practical. They contacted Zimba and Bwe to provide assistance to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. At the same time, the US Air Force transport planes have also dispatched military supplies to the Congo to support Mobutu.
