Chapter 359: The Great Oolong
Chapter 359 [Big Oolong]
Just listen to this Randall saying "you bring too many people" instead of "we bring too many people".
The difference between the two statements, Chen Xiaolian can certainly imagine.
Clearly, Randall was unhappy with Hans's team for bringing so many unrelated civilians and refugees.
When there are more people, the team becomes more mixed, which naturally reduces efficiency.
If you do something else on weekdays, it would be a little less efficient, but now it's a run for your life!
According to Randall's idea, lead the team upstream, find a place where the water is a little shallower, and there is some certainty that it can be found.
When the time comes, it will be enough to be able to drive the off-road vehicle!
The modified seven-seater off-road vehicle originally had a U-shaped exhaust pipe, and with a little treatment, there was no big problem with swimming across the river.
Moreover, there are two seven-seater off-road vehicles. When the time comes, stuff one more stuff in the carriage, stuff one stuff in the trunk, and sit on the roof of the car.
A total of twenty members of the Peace Organization plus six mercenaries could barely take them with them.
But there are still forty civilian refugees, and it's a burden!
Take these people with you, once there are no vehicles, they can only walk, which will only slow down the team!
Randall didn't want to die in this hellish place with his own people! They were paid to work, and they didn't have the consciousness to die for each other.
Hans also understood what Randall meant, and the German's face became ugly: "Mr. Randall! We have a contract with your company! You must ensure our safety, but we must have the final say on the itinerary! You are only responsible for security, and do not interfere in other matters." ”
Randall had no intention of backing down, and said coldly: "Hans, don't forget! The contract stipulates that we are obliged to ensure the safety of you and your people! But...... Only for the members of your organization! You've got dozens of unrelated people with you. My brothers and I are not obligated to die for these people!
They're not protected by the contract, and if you do, you can be considered a breach of contract by us!"
Hansian Stopper.
Although Randall is strong, he has to admit that what he said is indeed difficult to refute.
Even if Randall was right. According to the contract, these mercenaries are not obligated to protect the civilians who accompany them.
But...... How could Hans have left these people alone?
These volunteers of peace organizations came to Africa to save people, and this group of idealists, where would they leave others alone?
This is completely contrary to the beliefs of Hans's people.
"I've just spoken to Mr. Schneider, and he agrees with me. Randall added coldly.
Anger welled up in Hans's eyes.
Schneider was the special liaison officer of the United Nations, not a member of this peace organization, a bureaucrat to be precise, and he was certainly not as noble and great as Hans.
The problem though. From the perspective of position, Schneider is above Hans, although everyone will obey Hans, but if Schneider must support Randall, it will be difficult for Hans.
Hans turned his head and saw the Yankee hiding in the distance.
Schneider stood next to the car, seemingly cringing.
"Mr. Schneider!" Hans whispered, "Come over here, please!"
After the Yankees came over, Hans stared into his eyes: "Mr. Randall told me something just now. He said, "With your permission?"
Schneider's eyes were a little evasive. He shook his head and said, "Hans, we are responsible for the safety of the organization's personnel. And the others, who are citizens of Kambia, are not under our responsibility......"
"If that's the case, then our peace organization can be disbanded, and all the peace organizations in the whole unit can be disbanded! It's not within our responsibility!" Hans said coldly.
"I ...... I'm just here for everyone's good. ”
"You're just cowardly!" said Hans, unconcerned about the other man's face.
The German stared at Randall: "I will now officially inform you! I will not give up on these people!"
Hans looked back at his members, "What about you? What do you mean?"
Weinstein was the first to speak: "I'm here to save people, not to abandon anyone!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
"I will never abandon a civilian!"
"Schneider, you coward, you can go alone! You can swim across the river now!"
The members of the other peace organizations stood behind Hans, and Lin Leyan did not hesitate.
Chen Xiaolian saw it in his eyes. I sighed in my heart.
It's really a bunch of innocent ...... Good guys.
Well, it's just a little too simple.
Schneider's face changed.
In such a situation, if he insists on going his own way. Then he was the only one who left with the mercenaries.
But in this case, when he goes back, he will definitely be finished!
Randall's face was annoyed.
If he really dared to abandon Hans and the others here and leave with Schneider......
Even if you do this, you can use the terms of the contract as an excuse, but if you go back, if Hans and the others are killed here......
Randall knew very well that the mercenary organization he belonged to would not let him go!
It's going to be a huge scandal and a failed business!
Once such a huge event occurs, then the mercenary organization you belong to will not want to receive any business from any organization of the United Nations in the future!!
In that case...... Randall knew very well that the leader of the mercenary group would definitely send the bullet into his head with his own hands!
"Okay! You're the boss, you're in charge. Randall took a deep breath, spit it out, and gave Hans a vicious look.
After saying that, Randall stared at the black minister and sneered: "You said there was a boat on that pier, right? I hope you're right! Otherwise, I'll sink you into the river with my own hands!"
Randall left angrily with a few of his mercenary men.
Hans looked at Schneider: "What about you, sir?"
"I ...... I respect your opinions. Schneider sighed.
Hans was firm on the surface, but he was relieved in his heart, and he immediately clapped his hands: "Okay! Tell everyone that the break is over!
He glanced at the black minister: "You take our lead car!
"Okay, okay!
Seeing everyone disperse and get busy.
Hans suddenly pulled Chen Xiaolian.
"Is there something wrong?" Chen Xiaolian looked at the German.
"I ...... I don't know if my decision was right or wrong, but at this moment, I have to follow my beliefs. And my heart. Hans shook his head, his face was terrible: "Chen...... I know that you are a very powerful person, so, I beg you to ...... Please, just in case, I mean just in case. If you encounter any dangerous situations on the road, please don't stand idly by, okay?"
"I'm just one person. Chen Xiaolian said lightly.
"I know, I'm just begging you, do your best. Hans whispered, "For God's sake! If there is danger, you can save one more, just one more, okay?"
Chen Xiaolian looked at Hans and looked at this German man with red eyes.
"Although I don't believe in the God you say...... But well, I'll grant your request. ”
......
Hans was gambling. It would be accurate to pin all hope on the black minister.
When the convoy turned around, it caused a commotion in the ranks. However, Hans and the rest of the team tried their best to reassure everyone, and explained the reason with great pain.
And that Randall and the mercenaries sat on the other pickup truck from afar and watched coldly, and Randall sneered all over his face.
Noticing that Chen Xiaolian was looking at himself, this Randall was actually very arrogant, and made a gesture of cutting his throat with his fingers at Chen Xiaolian.
Chen Xiaolian didn't bother to pay attention to such a madman.
It was evident that the black minister was also under great pressure if there were no docks and boats to get there. Then he will be torn alive by the angry refugees!
It can be seen that this guy has been praying all the way.
......
Good luck!
When the car drove back for nearly an hour. Walked through a jungle and came to the riverside.
At the end of a dirt road, there is a pier!
Although it is a little tattered, the pier is the pier, with tattered planks and rusty iron fences. A warehouse consisting of several leaky houses.
Seeing such a pier, everyone immediately cheered.
In particular, next to the pier, there are several boats docked!!
This is the kind of thing that Chen Xiaolian has seen in China that is similar to a small ferry, and the engine wheel is started. The size of the boat is not large, and a boat can fit no more than ten people.
This made Hans and others directly dispel the illusion of using boats to ferry cars across the river.
But fortunately, there were a lot of boats, and there were seven or eight of them tethered with iron cables next to the dock, and more than sixty people were enough.
Although these ships look dilapidated, they are not broken or leaked, and their appearance is generally intact.
This immediately ignited everyone's hope!
Hans rushed to the dock with a few people to check, Lin Leyan strode up, Chen Xiaolian put his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked up slowly.
Weinstein hung his arms, but was the first to jump onto a boat and quickly inspect the propellers and wheels.
The Australian boy was full of emotions and excited: "The boat is good! God willing!!"
There was a cheer from the shore.
But when Hans jumped on a boat, the careful middle-aged man checked it, and his originally happy expression suddenly became gloomy!!
Chen Xiaolian saw the German stunned there, his body was obviously stiff, and his expression was difficult to see!!
"What's wrong?" Chen Xiaolian sensed that something was wrong, and walked over to ask Hans in a low voice.
A cold sweat broke out on Hans' forehead: "Ship...... There was a problem with the boat!"
"Is the ship broken?" Chen Xiaolian frowned and looked around, the hull was still very intact.
"No, the ship is not broken. Hans suddenly exhaled: "Miscalculated!"
"What the hell is going on?"
Hans shook his head, and suddenly shouted, "Weinstein!!Quick!Go and get that pickup truck as close to the shore as possible!Go, get two people to help you!"
Hans said this and took a deep breath: "Pump out the fuel in the tank!"
Weinstein was originally elated, but when he heard Hans's orders, he suddenly reacted and understood something, and the Australian boy's expression immediately became depressed.
Chen Xiaolian looked at Hans: "What happened?"
"These ships ...... Be...... Diesel engine!" Hans looked gloomy: "Most of the fuel we bring is gasoline! Only one pickup truck has a diesel engine, and there may be a little diesel in the fuel tank of the pickup truck, but even if it is all pumped out, it will not be too much." ”
Hans gritted his teeth and looked at the boats on the river, and suddenly slapped himself on the fence.
"Find the two of you to find a warehouse to look into! See if you can find anything! See if there's any fuel left! Quick! Hurry!!Get moving!!"
Hans roared loudly and led the men to the dilapidated warehouses on the shore.
Chen Xiaolian stood on the dock and also understood.
Diesel engine.
It's a diesel engine!!
The cars in the fleet are all gasoline engines, so the spare fuel carried by the team is also gasoline, and there is no diesel fuel carried.
There is no way to use gasoline as fuel for a diesel engine.
Because diesel engines and gasoline engines work differently.
Compression ignition of diesel engines, gasoline engines are ignited.
Although it is all oil, if gasoline is used in a diesel engine, it is useless at all.
It's a big oolong this time!
