Chapter 18: Alice

The petroleum refinery, 10 kilometers east of downtown Benghazi, was jointly built by Huaxia Changjiang Group and the L'Biya government. The project is divided into three phases, and now the first phase has been completed and is basically in production.

Due to its location on the edge of the desert, the nearest oil field is only 20 kilometers away. The oil can be fed directly into the refinery via pipelines, and the finished product is transported around the world through the port of Benghazi.

For such a cash cow, the opposition forces will never let it go. Originally, this was meat on a cutting board, and the whole of Benghazi was taken eighty, and the refinery was nothing. So not only were there no harassment at the refinery during these days, but both the government and the opposition forces consciously or unconsciously kept the exchange of fire as far away as possible.

But now, due to the emergency evacuation of a large number of Chinese personnel, even the workers and technicians of the refinery disappeared overnight, and in this way, the leaders of the opposition suddenly came to their senses and were shocked.

I thought that the government forces had been expelled, and it was time to enjoy the fruits of victory. But with all the people involved leaving, it's still a to just occupy this refinery, is it relying on those brute bulls with AK47s to control the computer?

By the time the leader of the opposition forces led his troops to surround him, the refinery was empty, and less than 40 people were hiding in the dormitory.

The leader of the opposition has a headache, and now it is impossible to kill or release, and if he wants to make the refinery run again and make money, he still has to rely on follow-up negotiations with the Chinese side.

But expecting these armed thugs to follow the rules is as hard as keeping the leper dog from. As soon as more than 200 people entered the factory, they were as careless as wolves entering a flock, and they were salivating over everything.

Anyway, the charges can be thrown to the government army, and if they are investigated, they can be shirked and said that they were deliberately sabotaged when they retreated.

Without restraint or punishment, the refinery, which had taken two years to build, was devastated in a short period of time, thanks to the organized looting in which the ringleaders participated.

Because of its foresight, Cheung Kong will deliberately set aside a safety zone in any project it invests in Africa.

This so-called security zone is usually used as a dormitory for employees. It is surrounded by a concrete wall ten meters high and one meter thick. In addition to ample food and water, there were also necessary guns for defense. In the unlikely event that there is no time to evacuate, this safe zone will become the last refuge to buy time for rescue.

Originally, everyone in the refinery could have been evacuated in time, but this would have cost 30% of the machinery and equipment in the plant.

You know, the technical work of refining crude oil is not something you can just turn off the power of the machine. Some units must wait until they have cooled down, or when certain conditions are reached before they can be safely shut down.

Therefore, Jia Chao, the factory director, led more than 30 technical employees to stay and shut down the machine, waiting for the subsequent second batch of evacuation.

Zhao Wen, the head of the security section, and his security team members, Hao Yong and Hao Kang, volunteered to stay behind to protect everyone's safety.

According to the plan, it will only take two hours to evacuate safely, but there is always something unexpected to happen. When Zhao Wen, who was watching from the oil tower, noticed that a convoy was coming in the distance, everyone had lost the best time to evacuate.

After the alarm sounded, a total of 36 people quickly hid in the safety zone, and began to wait for help under Zhao Wen's organization.

Looking at the three or four bodies that had been hit by bullets outside the safe zone and the seven or eight wounded compatriots inside, one can imagine the intensity of the exchange of fire.

This also fully proves that this group of improvised troops does not actually have much sense of belonging to their own identity. Even the superior leaders did not dare to rashly shoot and kill the Huaxia technicians, but the soldiers below did not have the slightest scruples.

"Section Chief Zhao, what's going on outside now?"

Jia Chao asked with a solemn face. For this veteran who had participated in the border self-defense counterattack, he did not show too much panic, but was unusually calm. Several of the injured employees have been placed in the back room to rest, and two or three weaker ones are taking care of them.

"There shouldn't be any more attacks for the time being, the robbers are out there scouring their loot right now, and they don't have time to take care of us dolphins to the slaughter. ”

Zhao Wen poured himself a big mouthful of water as he spoke. He did a real job just now, and now his nerves are still excited. It would be false to say that you are not afraid, after all, it is also the first time to go to the battlefield. But all the emotions were suppressed in his heart, and he didn't reveal anything at all.

Jia Chao thought for a while, and then continued:

"Don't be careless! The walls outside are actually just decorations, and if you really want to attack them, it will be a matter of whether people are reluctant to give up their rockets.

The satellite phone has not been able to be connected since now, and it should be because the people outside are wearing signal jammers. ”

The last sentence was whispered by Jia Chao in Zhao Wen's ear, and the reason why he didn't announce it was because he was afraid that everyone would be more depressed after hearing it, which would affect the morale of the army.

And Zhao Wen's reaction after listening to it was indeed as calm as Jia Chao expected, which shows that his mental quality is still very good.

"Earlier, we received the last notice, we only have 3 hours, and if we can't reach the dock smoothly within 3 hours, the evacuation ship will leave, and then I don't know when the ship will come. ”

"Director, what are your plans? ”

Zhao Wen knew that there must be a reason why Jia Chao suddenly told him this.

"I want you to go, while it's still dawn, the people in front are still smashing and looting, and get out of here with Alice I know you can do it. ”

"Alice, that woman from country F, why is she?"

Zhao Wen's eyes unconsciously looked at the woman in the room whose hands were constantly flying on the keyboard.

He still remembers that three months ago, this woman wearing heavy black-rimmed glasses with thick bottles and pockmarked face came to apply for the job. At that time, she won out all competitors with a dual degree from Harvard and MIT and successfully became an external computer technician.

For an open enterprise, the employees of the refinery are not all Chinese, in fact, there are less than forty percent of the Chinese here, and the rest are from all over the world. Of course, earlier those foreign employees had already been evacuated along with the Chinese personnel. Only this woman from country F, nicknamed "Back Killer", is willing to stay and help.

"No, just because she has all the technical data of the refinery and the financial statements in her head.

Zhao Wen, that woman is a genius, take her back to China, and it will be of great use wherever she is placed.

Don't worry, I've had people check her details since the first day. Born in a poor family, he has a clean net worth. There are no problems with the trajectory from small to large. Both parents died in a car accident last year, and then they crossed the ocean from country F to Lbia. ”

Seeing that Zhao Wen was still hesitating, Jia Chao's face changed, and he said vigorously:

"Zhao Wen, what else are you inking. You don't know who we really are. As long as it is the talent that the country needs, it is the goal of our development. I've been observing for a long time, this girl is really a computer genius and has to get people back home. ”

"I refuse!"

Even if Jia Chao said two white foams on his mouth, Zhao Wen didn't want to go back with three words!

"Bastard! The reason why our country has been able to rise rapidly in just a few decades is that in addition to the selfless dedication of countless Chinese talents, those who have been excavated from all over the world through foreign-funded enterprises have also made great contributions, and it can be said that they have occupied a lot of credit. ”

If he hadn't been too loud, Jia Chao would have opened his mouth to scold his mother.

"If I don't go, what will I do with other compatriots when I leave? I, Zhao Wen, don't want to go back and be poked in the backbone of a lifetime. ”

Zhao Wen pointed to the outside and said heavily:

"Now there are hundreds of people outside waiting to rush in, what kind of joke are you calling me, the chief of the security section, like a rat with that woman from country F to abandon her compatriots and flee for her life!"

Zhao Wen didn't talk nonsense with Jia Chao anymore, but drank the water in the cup and then went outside with a gun to stare outside. So angry that a guy stomped his foot, grabbed the cup on the table and smashed it to the ground......

On the other side, in order to save time and arrive at the refinery faster, at the suggestion of Yang Buxing, several people did not choose to move forward on foot, but ambushed an opposition squad on the way, and then grabbed a pickup truck and drove out of the city.

After the repeated advocacy of this guy Yang Buxing, Wang Yuan and the three of them reluctantly unloaded the expensive equipment on their bodies and changed into the clothes of the opposition fighters. This is wearing a turban and driving a car, and along the way, there are checkpoints to deal with in pure Arabic language. Several people soon left the city and embarked on the desert road.

It should be said that this road was built by the Chinese people, specifically to facilitate the entry and exit of goods from the oil refinery. At this time, the red sun on the horizon has just emerged from the horizon, and the entire desert seems to be coated with a layer of "blood light".

"There is no way back to the sun's blood sand, huh...... This doesn't seem to be a good omen. ”

"Liu Xiucai, close your crow's mouth, don't think that after reading for a few more days, you will be selling your literary talent all day long. You're the point of no return...... Phew......"

Xue Hao knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly spat out the window. What annoys him the most is that Liu Tong fiddles with crooked poetry fragments all day long.

"It's okay, why don't you just chant a poem? It's not so exquisite, and it's not a movie, and people who take a photo out or give it up after doing this ticket will end up burping. ”

Seeing the big chimney that appeared at the end of the field of vision, it meant that the target refinery had arrived. So Yang Bu was not hungry and hurriedly stopped the car first, for such an unobstructed open area, how to break through is a big problem.

"We can't get any closer, it's daytime, visibility is good and they can spot us from a long distance. I am afraid that a strong attack will not work, and it is undoubtedly suicide when there is no cover and the number of people is too large. ”

Yang Buxing got out of the car first, and he felt that it was necessary to adjust the next battle plan in combination with the current terrain......
