Chapter 86 Liu Tangchun (I) (June 7 1/1 more subscription)
Once you have a goal, time flies faster and faster. Not long after Sun Lien sent Hu Jia the second package, he got his medical exam results - successfully passed, with a total score of 600, Sun Lien lived up to expectations and scored 447 points. 360 points is the passing line, which is actually quite good.
"Liu Tangchun's plane tomorrow. After Sun Lien got the results, the first thing he did was to call Hu Jia. Subsequently, he heard a somewhat unexpected news, "Director Liu said, you may not use it this time." โ
"Huh?" Sun Lien looked confused on the other end of the phone. While waiting for his exam results, he was preparing to leave for Africa. "How?"
"Next month we're going to send a hospital ship here for humanitarian aid. Hu Jia replied on the phone, "I heard Director Liu say that it was Daishan Island that was sent. โ
Daishan Island is the only large-scale modern medical ship built specifically for the purpose of "medical ship" in China. It is also often referred to as the "Ark of Peace" when communicating with foreign countries. As a large ship with a displacement of up to 14,000 tons, the Daishan Island is always equipped with more than 300 hospital beds, as well as auxiliary equipment such as blood banks, CT rooms, oxygen generation stations, and a helicopter deck for transporting the wounded. In terms of layout and composition, this ship is a tertiary hospital floating on the sea.
"If the Daishan Island comes, it can only stop at the mouth of the Rufuma River. It can cover the needs of humanitarian relief missions in the east, but what about the greater Malawi region?" Sun Lien has already memorized the terrain of Polythanvia in two months, "You can't let the helicopter on the ship fly five or six hundred kilometers, and then carry the patient back to the ship after arriving at Port Melati? โ
"I don't know. Hu Jia sighed, "But the recent situation is really not good, there were still several teams of international medical organizations here in Port Melati, but recently they are all preparing to withdraw." โ
Recently, Polytavia has been on the news more often. The Rufuma estuary area was recently hit by a Category 4 hurricane. As a result, there was very severe flooding and storm surge.
According to the Polythanvian authorities, the hurricane killed at least 300 people and caused huge economic losses. To make matters worse, the storm surge brought Polythanvia's only industrially mined coal mine out of operation. The coal reserves of the main thermal power plant built near the mouth of the river can only last for about eight days.
If coal mining is not resumed within eight days, the thermal power plant will inevitably stop operating due to lack of fuel. The company that invests in and operates this power plant, as well as the UHV power supply line that connects the Roufuma estuary area to Port Melati, is the State Power Company.
Guodian's staff saved the lines and the thermal power plant, but they are not immortals, and there is no good way to save the coal mine that has been flooded. At the same time, the transport of fresh water through Lake Greater Malawi was also disrupted by the hurricanes. Port Melati is currently facing severe energy shortages and the risk of food supply disruptions.
Yes, as an agrarian country, Polytavia is not even self-sufficient in food. Their main crops are tobacco and coffee beans, and their food production does not cover even half of their needs.
Under these circumstances, the already contradictory conflict between the Tushi and Katu tribes intensified. The Kathu people mainly grow tobacco, but some grow food. In the face of a possible disruption of the food supply, a large number of Kathu people chose to stop selling food and began to rush to stock up on what was available on the market.
The nomadic Tushi tribesmen regularly traveled to the towns to buy food. They have no fixed source of income, so they can only buy food by selling their livestock. When they came to the town, they found that the price of their livestock had risen by half compared to usual, but the price of grain had increased by more than three times.
The money from the sale of livestock could only buy half of the food that could be bought in the past โ and so began the conflict. The Tushi people who transported the cattle believed that they had been deceived by the hateful Kathu. During the argument, he took out the rifle from the car and tried to use it to defend his tribe's rights. Subsequently, the armed figure was shot dead by the police. The ownerless livestock were looted by other Kathu.
"Director Liu said that something will definitely happen if it goes on like this. Xu Yourong said a little worried on the phone, "We may also have to prepare to evacuate." โ
"When Director Liu arrives, I'll discuss it with him. Sun Lien frowned and asked, "Where are you now, and is the surrounding environment safe?"
"The medical team has been withdrawn from the original station and is now with the Chinese-funded construction company here. Hu Jia replied, "The government has sent us additional guards, and the Chinese-funded companies also have their own armed security guards, which is okay at present." โ
Knowing that his girlfriend was safe, Sun Lien breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll talk about this after I meet Director Liu, don't worry. โ

Liu Tangchun's plane first arrived in the capital and then arrived at Ningyuan International Airport at 4 p.m. Sun Lien drove the car and pinched the time to get to the airport. After a while, I saw Liu Tangchun's trademark gray hair in the domestic arrival area.
"Director Liu!" Sun Lien and Liu Tangchun haven't seen each other for a year. He beckoned to Liu Tangchun excitedly, "Here, here, here!"
Liu Tangchun followed the voice and looked over, and at a glance saw Sun Lien's stupid appearance of jumping high and waving on the spot. He grinned, pushed the luggage cart and walked to Sun Lien's side, then slammed him on the shoulder twice, and then smiled, "Yes, it's strong." โ
"I practice CPR every day, and I practice it. Sun Lien rubbed his shoulder, which was a little painful, and then looked at Liu Tangchun's luggage and asked, "Just this one?"
"Yes. Liu Tangchun nodded, "I just brought a few clothes...... I won't be able to come back for a few days this time. I booked a ticket back to Polytavia on Sunday. He looked at Sun Lien and asked, "Is your passport ready?"
"That's it. Sun Lien nodded, "Official ordinary passports and visas have also been completed." โ
"That's fine. Liu Tangchun pushed the cart forward, and said to Sun Lien as he walked, "Things may change a little this time." โ
Sun Lien continued, "I heard Hu Jia say that our medical team may have to be withdrawn, right?"
"You kid is clever and planted a spy next to me?" Liu Tangchun scolded twice with a smile, and then said with some bad mood, "I hope you can withdraw in advance this time." โ
