Chapter 167 Refugee Boat

By the time Julia got up, it was already a little closer.

When she came to the cockpit, Xiao Peng was sitting there watching Gina teach Suovia and a few other children to learn Huaxia.

Gina has been on the ship for a long time, and her health is getting better and better!

If she told people she had HIV now, no one would believe it and would just think it was a joke.

"Up?" Xiao Peng asked with a smile when he saw Julia coming.

Julia is very fluent in English, Gina is good at English, and she is basically dutiful as a translator.

Julia nodded, "Are we almost there?"

Xiao Peng looked at the chart: "At this speed, you can get to Herakrion at eight o'clock in the evening." ”

Heraklyon, a port located in the middle of Crete, is the main passenger ferry port in Crete.

"Alright, since we're up, let's go to dinner. Xiao Peng greeted Julia.

Julia laughed, "That's great, I'm really hungry." ”

"Mengzi, I'll leave it to you here. Xiao Peng took Julia and Gina to the restaurant.

"Why don't they eat?" asked Julia.

Xiao Peng smiled: "They have all eaten, and now there is no food on the ship, only the two of us." Because I don't know your tastes, I dragged Gina to be the translator. ”

Julia asked, "Then why don't you eat?"

Xiao Peng replied, "Wait for you." Aren't you afraid you'll be bored eating alone?"

Xiao Peng took out the food he made himself: "Taste my craftsmanship." ”

The taste of the Greek people is still relatively close to the taste of the Chinese people. Almost everyone who travels to Greece doesn't have too many dietary problems. Grilling and frying are the most common cooking methods in Greece.

The two didn't waste too much, just four dishes and one soup: braised pork, pan-fried Russian sturgeon steak, octopus sashimi, grilled lamb chops, and seaweed egg soup.

Julia was full of praise for Xiao Peng's cooking skills, and all that was left was to give her a thumbs up.

Xiao Peng smiled slightly, took out a small box from his pocket, and handed it to Julia.

Julia opened the box, and her eyes instantly turned into little stars: the box contained a cross-shaped brooch made of gold, set with ivory sapphires and enamel pearls, which looked very luxurious.

Enamel is the art of coating a metal or ceramic with a layer of molten glass. It was the main art form of the Byzantine period. Later, it was introduced into China and further developed, and cloisonnΓ© was an enamel product.

"Byzantine style. I've never seen this brooch under the Chanel and Dolce &Gabbana brands, which luxury brand is this designed? It looks so retro!" Well, Julia is also in the fashion circle, and she still knows a lot about jewelry.

Xiao Peng was stunned after listening to Gina's translation, how could Nima answer? He doesn't understand these luxury brands at all, right? How do I know what brands were more than a thousand years ago? This is a real Byzantine antique.

"Do you like it?" is still straightforward, suitable for Xiao Peng.

Julia nodded desperately, like?

"It's good to like it. Xiao Peng smiled.

Julia stared at Xiao Peng: "Why did you give me this?" After speaking, she squinted her eyes and stared at Xiao Peng: "Are you in love with me?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem. Xiao Peng coughed, and the foreign girl was also direct: "This, when you get to Crete, we will be separated, and I don't know when and what month we will meet again, and I will give you a gift as a souvenir." ”

Julia looked puzzled: "We can keep in touch at any time, can't we?" ”

Xiao Peng spread his hands: "We Huaxia people don't need Twitter, but you're right, we can contact us by phone." ”

That being said, Xiao Peng doesn't think so. What distance produces beauty, that's all nonsense, distance can only produce gaps. Although Xiao Peng knew that he and Julia might just be an accident, Xiao Peng was a man.

A man can have no power, he can have no money, but he must not be without responsibility. Even if he and Julia may never see each other again in their lifetime, they can't be exempt from their responsibilities because of this.

Xiao Peng didn't know what to do for Julia, so let's give him a gift. So there was a scene of giving brooches.

Julia kissed Xiao Peng on the face: "Honey, thank you, this is the best gift I have ever received." ”

Xiao Peng just wanted to say something, but Yang Meng's call sounded on the wireless radio: "Xiao Peng, come up, there is an emergency!"

When Xiao Peng heard this, he hurriedly ran to the cab, and Julia and Gina also ran up with him.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Peng asked.

Yang Meng pointed out the window: "See for yourself!"

Xiao Peng looked at Yang Meng's fingers: "Damn, this is Ah San to Europe?"

I saw that on the sea not far away, there was a small wooden boat, about ten meters long, but it was densely loaded with forty or fifty people. Although the wind and waves in the Mediterranean Sea are not large compared to the Pacific Ocean, this obviously overloaded boat seems to be unable to support it for long, as if it can be overwhelmed at any time.

In Xiao Peng's imagination, only Ah San could fit so many people into such a small boat.

Oh no, they are stuffed into motorcycles over there, if one day you see a news report that there was a car accident somewhere, two motorcycles collided, and more than 70 people in the car were injured, then you don't even need to ask, it must be the third brother who did it.

"This is a Syrian refugee. Julia looks like she doesn't look weird, "It's a bunch of people who want to live." ”

"Aren't they looking for death?" Xiao Peng was speechless. Crossing the Mediterranean Sea on such a ship and carrying so many people? Isn't this looking for death? "Why don't they flee to countries near them? Why go to Greece whether it's a country or a treaty country? Isn't this an extreme challenge?"

Wang Hu spoke at this time: "Boss, there are indeed many Syrians who have taken refuge in the country of Turkey or the country of the treaty, and the result is? Go to the refugee camp to buy a girl for only three or four thousand Huaxia coins, which is not bad, and the girl who was kidnapped by IS in Syria only needs a few hundred or even less Huaxia coins, and you can buy it home." ”

"This damn war. Are they going to Greece?" Xiao Peng sighed.

Julia shook her head and said, "It's right to go to Greece, but Greece is just an intermediate station, and their target is the five Nordic countries." ”

"Why?" Xiao Peng didn't understand, did he still have a place to escape?

Wang Hu laughed and said: "How simple is this, Greece is poor, and the five Nordic countries have money and good welfare, so they naturally fled there." Once Germany took in a group of Syrian refugees, but the Syrian refugees protested and demanded that Germany open its borders and go to northern Europe. Of course, this is a minority after all, and most people's purpose is very simple, they just want to live. ”

"There are a lot of refugees in Syria?" Xiao Peng asked a stupid question.

"Over the years, at least millions of refugees have fled to Syria. More than half of the population before the war became refugees, and a large number of refugees continue to flee for their lives. Syria was once one of the most stable and wealthy countries in the Middle East, but in just a few years, it has become what it is now, and those so-called people with lofty ideals who launched the revolution back then were serious national sinners! For the sake of their own selfish interests, they caused the destruction of the country and the death of millions of people, and I really don't know what kind of face these people have in the world!" Wang Hu said with a scolding and scolding.

"What the hell would happen to make a good country like this?" Xiao Peng asked.

Isn't it strange that a rich and stable political state could become what it is now?

Syria is definitely one of the saddest countries. Inexplicably, it became the target of the Stars and Stripes hooligans. fell victim to the so-called 'Arab Spring'.

Since 2010, a wave of revolution has been driven by the Stars and Stripes and European countries, which has swept through more than half of the Arab countries, and for a time, the entire Middle East has been jumping: Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, Jordan, Sudan, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Morocco, Tunisia and other countries have all carried out anti-government activities of one magnificence or another.

The Stars and Stripes and the European countries have a simpler and simpler approach, you are against the government, and you are a good person, I will give you a gun if you want a gun, and I will give you money if you want money, and you will make trouble for me.

As a result, for a time, the entire Middle East was constantly gunned and conflicted.

For example, Libya was slaughtered by the Stars and Stripes because of a trumped-up 'biological and chemical weapon' as an excuse, and Gaddafi, who once scolded the Stars and Stripes for 96 minutes at a United Nations meeting, died in this way.

At that time, although the surrounding countries were all about revolution, Syria was still very stable. This is because Syria is a typical one-party-government-party-government-unity-republican state. Both the economy and the order in the country are very stable.

But there is such a group of people in any country, who are like everyone and regard themselves as 'people of insight'. The same is true for Syria, which has to follow the example of Western countries, pursue 'freedom' and 'democracy', and demand reform. Then an armed conflict broke out.

With the support of Western countries, the opposition party has started a large-scale armed conflict with the goal of overthrowing the 'Assad' regime, and the president of the Stars and Stripes country, O'Guanhai, has made it clear that Bashar should step down and intensify its efforts to arm the Syrian opposition: help train the Syrian opposition armed forces and provide hundreds of millions of yuan in military supplies.

Even after China and Russia voted against the Syrian issue at the United Nations, Western countries, led by the Stars and Stripes, bypassed the United Nations and continued to support and fund the Syrian opposition and impose economic sanctions on the Syrian country.

The Stars and Stripes have come up with a means to wrongfully accuse Libya: they claim that Syria has and use biological and chemical weapons, and use this as an excuse to further attack Syria.

As a result, Syria, the most stable country in the entire Middle East, fell into a flames of war, and extremist terrorist organizations also came to join in the fun, and IS was stationed in Syria. It was even declared that a state would be established here.

To this day, hundreds of thousands of Syrians have been killed, half of the country's civilians have been left homeless, and millions more have become international refugees. And those opposition parties controlled by the West were surprised to find that the President Bashar al-Assad that they wanted to overthrow not only did not overthrow, but now they are re-elected as President of Syria with a record 88.7% of the votes.

The funniest thing is that the real protagonist of this tragedy, the Stars and Stripes, is a standard 'kill or bury' master: with the war in Syria, millions of refugees have poured into Europe, and Germany alone has hundreds of thousands of refugees. But how many refugees did the "moral model" and "representative of the democratic will" take in the Stars and Stripes? Six years after the outbreak of the war, only more than 1,000 refugees were taken in, and even so, the new president of the Stars and Stripes was not satisfied and had to expel all these refugees!

Well, that's the standard Star-Spangled Nation style: wherever you go, kill it or bury it!

And those so-called people of insight in Syria are the real fools, and they don't understand an iron law:

The so-called 'freedom' of any country actually exists within the limits of the rules。。。。。。
