Chapter 788: Go Home
The Antimanic War had been going on for a whole day.
In this country, forgotten by international news, a fierce war is raging.
Men and horses on both sides were concentrated near the capital city on a large scale, the airport was blown up, and all bridges and road crossings were equipped with fire control and inspection posts.
The two sides also relied on makeshift fortifications to attack each other.
For a time, the capital city was filled with gunsmoke, and from time to time mortar shells whistled through the air.
In cities outside the capital, the Blue Helmets armed groups and government forces have also put the cities under their control into a state of martial law, and all communications have been interrupted, and the two sides are at loggerheads.
The central city of Urel is a city that has not been fully penetrated by the forces of either side. This also caused the two sides to be entrenched on the periphery, forming a military confrontation. Until the situation on the main battlefield in the capital city was clear, no one dared to take the lead in firing.
In the city of Urel, there is a sad scene of the coming of the end.
This large city, with a population of hundreds of thousands and one of the top three economic indicators in Antiman, has closed its doors, from government agencies to merchants and hawkers. Ordinary citizens even hid at home and didn't even dare to step out.
If that's all there is, it's far from a post-apocalyptic scenario.
However, when the forces to maintain order in the city are gone, evil often comes before the war.
On Urel Street, some criminals who usually dare not come forward seem to have ushered in a holiday carnival. They gathered in groups of three or five, armed with polished AKs, and drove through the streets in stolen pickup trucks.
As time went on, more and more shops on the streets of Urel were smashed open and everything they thought was valuable.
When someone dares to resist, it is often not a waving butt, but a 7.62mm bullet.
Of course, the way to resist is not to rely on the throat to shout "please let us go", and there are some ruthless people, such as those large shops, who will not hesitate to stand up in a row of people, grab more advanced weapons, beat them into a sieve, and throw them out like garbage as soon as the gangsters rush in.
It wasn't until the latecomers saw the fate of their predecessors that they didn't dare to approach here again.
If we say that the largest commercial building in Urel and the largest number of people is [Huazi Lijin Hospital].
This hospital is a second-class hospital led by the Chinese government and established with the technical assistance of Lijin Hospital in China.
The hospital plans to build 15 wards, 40 outpatient departments, and 1,000 inpatient beds.
Covering an area of 60 acres and with six inpatient departments, if it is placed in Huaxia, it is the scale of a county hospital in a coastal area.
It's still the kind of county hospital that ranks low.
However, in the country of Antiman, once completed, the Chinese-funded Lijin Hospital will not only become the largest and most advanced hospital in the country. Even in several countries around Antiman, Huazi Lijin Hospital is also the top and most in line with international standards.
It is no exaggeration to say that with the presence of the Huazi Lijin Hospital, the medical level of Antiman is at least 30% higher in the country.
As for why Huaxia sent a hospital in Antiman for nothing, we have to ask the Antiman government why it contracted the only copper mine in the country to be mined by a state-owned company in China.
Of course, the hospital was not yet fully built, the copper mining was only contracted, and the companies involved had not yet moved in, and war broke out in Antiman.
……
In the Huazi Lijin Hospital, more than 300 Chinese workers and dozens of embassy staff in Antiman gathered in the outpatient building of Building 1.
The clinic building has been completed, and now workers have all the big machinery and equipment in front of the door.
The equipment was interconnected with iron chains, and workers welded steel bars to all the windows of the clinic building, including the front door. In the clinic building, workers gather all the food and water they can collect, and there are even separate power generation and communication equipment.
More than 300 employees gathered in the lobby of the clinic, and an embassy staff member was on the phone. On the periphery, twenty more employees armed with assault rifles looked back and forth from the window.
"Mayor Kerrwin, I know you're in a difficult situation. But you can't just watch hundreds of our Chinese employees stuck in the city of Antiman, can you?"
"I know that on that route, the Blue Helmets are in charge of the vigilance. We've been in contact with that organization, and they've promised to let our team go. ”
"You only need to prepare ten minibuses for us, and we don't have enough vehicles here, even a few construction trucks. ”
"Help, Mr. Mayor. ”
"I know you're embarrassed, in this way, all the materials that our engineering team can't take with us here can be given to you?"
In the hall, more than 300 workers silently looked at Yu Yong, the ambassador of the embassy in Antiman. The latter stood in the middle of the crowd, holding a satellite phone, and with an anxious look and a hurried tone, he was communicating fiercely with the mayor of Urrell, Kirwin.
Now, Urel has fallen into a state of complete anarchic chaos.
The police all shrank into the government to protect the local minds. The only prison is also open, and all the criminals have escaped. Disruption of communications, disruption of transportation, disruption of business and economy.
More than 300 Chinese employees could not leave Urel on foot and go to the border.
They need cars, and now there are two Mitsubishi off-road vehicles and three muck trucks that can move on the site. The remaining four excavators, and a concrete pump truck, can only be cheaper for the locals.
Vehicles on the site, which can accommodate hundreds of people, have welded a ring of steel bars to the muck body and covered it with a waterproof canopy. There are still more than 200 people who do not have cars, so Ambassador Yu Yong can only contact the mayor of Urel and exchange them for dozens of minibuses.
"As you know, Mr. Ambassador, the situation outside is very uncertain right now. No one can guarantee whether it will be the victory of the Blue Helmets or the victory of our government forces. ”
"Ten minibuses will be given to you, and what will we do if it is our turn to retreat?"
Urrell's mayor, Kirwin, replied in embarrassment in English, "You can still get through the Blue Helmets, but what about us? There is no way back, and if we fail, the retreat will only be a matter of a few more months." ”
"$100,000, our site project department, and $100,000 for the project can be used. Ambassador Yu Yong gritted his teeth and scolded, and then said ruthlessly: "It's all for you, I only need ten minibuses that can be driven." ”
Money is not everything, but money in Africa, especially the US dollar, is not far from omnipotent.
So, there was a ten-second silence on the other side of the phone.
"Mr. Ambassador, you ...... Did you really get through the Blue Helmets?" Mayor Kerrwin's tone was unpredictable.
"To retreat westward, we must pass through the blockade area controlled by the blue helmets, we have nothing to do with it, aren't we going to die?" Ambassador Yu Yong tugged hard at the button of his shirt, his eyes a little red.
"Good ......"
"Mr. Ambassador, I grant your request. ”
"But...... I have one more condition. ”
"You say. ”
"Take my daughter out as well. Mayor Kerrwin's voice suddenly became ethereal, "I believe in you, Mr. Ambassador. Huaxia people never do things that they are not sure of, so I ask you to do me a favor. Let my daughter join your team and make up an identity for her. If you agree, I'll give you twelve minibuses with full fuel. ”
"Are you crazy?" Ambassador Yu Yong said in surprise: "The government army is behind you, and if you want to send it to the government army, why do you want to go with us?"
"Besides...... If your daughter is recognized, won't we all be doomed together?"
"Where else can we retreat?" Mayor Kirwin said with a wry smile, "The airport has been blown up, the situation at several border points is unpredictable, and there may be a team of the Blue Helmets ambushed nearby." You know, these people hate government officials the most, and they always think that we are colluding with foreign forces to betray the country. If they get caught, the consequences ......"
"The consequence is that life is worse than death. Ambassador Yu Yong added to him in his heart.
"Rest assured, my daughter has been studying abroad and no one knows her. And her mother is French, and this time she came back just to see me, an old man, who wants to meet the chaos of war. Her mother is in France, Mr. Ambassador, you just have to drop her off at the airport in Nigaya and she flies to France herself. ”
"Do you want the $100,000 more...... Ambassador Yu Yong thought for a few seconds and decided to agree to his request.
If no one knows her, then the identity is easy to arrange. And her daughter is moving forward together, which undoubtedly has an extra guarantee, at least the car problem does not have to worry about anything. Of course, if you agree, Ambassador Yu Yong will also talk about the conditions, after all, if you send 100,000 US dollars, it will hurt anyone.
"80,000, no less, 80,000 dollars for my daughter!"
"Deal!"
Finally solving the most important traffic problem, Ambassador Yu Yong's heart completely put down the stone, then rubbed his sleepless eyes, and shouted excitedly to the more than 300 silent workers and embassy staff: "Colleagues, the traffic problem is solved, let's leave at two o'clock in the afternoon!"
More than 300 employees, at this moment, finally showed a relieved smile.
I can finally go home.
