After a full six hours of trekking, 12 minibuses, escorted by a group of soldiers, traversed a distance of more than 300 kilometers, passing through three cities, a plain and a river, and finally arrived at the border city of Onuoko.

Oroko, a small city with a population of only a few tens of thousands.

It is only three kilometres from Nigaya, another country to the west, perhaps because both countries are poor, and there is no prosperity in the border cities in this place, and commerce is limited to agricultural products.

What separates the two kingdoms is a river.

It is a river that diverges from Lake Chad, the fourth largest freshwater lake in Africa. The river is a few hundred meters wide, with Nicaya, on the left, and Antiman, on the other.

The soldiers who escorted more than 300 Chinese employees quickly evacuated most of the soldiers after arriving in Onoko, leaving only two pickup trucks to escort them to the river.

It was not until this moment that the hearts of more than 300 Huaxia employees calmed down.

After more than ten minutes, the convoy finally arrived at the river.

On the river that crosses the two countries, there is only one steel bridge built in the early stages of World War II. The bridge was built by the French colonizers and is eighty-six years old. The bridge is narrow enough to accommodate only a single truck. Since the outbreak of war in Antiman, the bridge has been blocked by two countries, and neither of them has allowed its citizens to step on the bridge.

On Antiman's side, there was a fort garrisoned by twenty blue-helmeted soldiers with machine guns. These forts also have a long history, two mushroom-like defensive forts are erected on the side of the bridge, one on the left and one on the right, and when I saw twelve medium-sized buses coming, several soldiers immediately ran out of the fortress, stopped the medium-sized buses with guns, and shouted something loudly.

Seeing this, on the other side of the bridge. In another wave of people belonging to the territory of Nigaa, one by one the eyes are fierce.

On the other side of the steel bridge, there was a procession of 20 minibuses and 5 off-road vehicles. These minibuses were all marked with banners in Chinese, which read, "Welcome home." "Colleagues have worked hard. "The Seventh Bureau of Huaxia Construction will take you home. ", "Behemoth Industries wishes everyone a safe journey", and other blessings.

The bridge is straight, and it is only a few hundred meters long, and now the people who are anxiously waiting for this group of Chinese employees to cross the bridge can clearly see the humiliation suffered by more than 300 Chinese compatriots over there.

Among these people, there are staff of the embassy in Nigaya, special commissioners who flew from China, and senior leaders of the Seventh Construction Bureau to which more than 300 employees belong, as well as Ye Qing, and General Mopu's right-hand man Bazz. Isn't everyone gathered here just to take these more than 300 employees home?

"Lawlessness, really lawlessness. Liu Dongde, the deputy director of the Seventh Construction Bureau, had his eyes glaring out, and his expression was furious, "On the other side is the organization called the Blue Helmets, believe it or not, when the employees come back, I will transfer two excavators from here and dig this bridge?"

"Dissipate your anger, and wait for the compatriots to come back. Zhang Huaidong, the ambassador to Nigaya, gritted his teeth, "These people can't make any climate, don't look at the joy of dancing now." Later they will understand that arrogance comes at a price. ”

"Leaders, don't be angry. Buzz on the side said with a smile in fluent Chinese: "General Mopu is responsible for contacting your personnel to take them home." Now seeing that the helmet side is backtracking, seizing and demanding ransom, our General Mopu is also very angry. ”

"This kind of trivial matter does not require a few leaders to do it, and by tomorrow night, General Mopu will directly send a team of men over and shoot rockets at them across the river, and finish the bridge and the fortress. ”

Baz and General Mopu are now following Ye Qingming, and they will naturally give face to several big leaders on the Huaxia side.

"How can this be, can't we solve the problem in a civilized way?" Zhang Huaidong, the ambassador to Nigaya, waved his hand again and again, "Firing rockets from Nigaya can easily cause misunderstanding between the two countries and also cause diplomatic disputes." ”

"Then I'll let them take a boat at night and touch it downstream, and fight directly on the land of Antiman?" Buzz laughed, "The other party must have thought that the government army did it." ”

Ambassador Zhang Huaidong said that it was best to solve the problem in a civilized manner, but there was a bad encouragement on his face, "You should fight more".

While waiting angrily, the 12 minibuses on the other side of the river were still not released.

The personnel on the two escorted pickup trucks exchanged words with the soldiers at the assistant bridge for a long time. From time to time, he still looked towards the opposite bank, and just when Ye Qing was about to ask the men brought by Buzz to go over and ask, two soldiers came from the opposite side.

They did not carry guns, but walked over with some hesitation and asked in English that they were not proficient in, "Are you here to pick up this group of Huaxia employees?"

"To escort you, we sent ten military vehicles. And this bridge has long been closed to traffic, and I ask you to pay $20,000 for the escort. ”

"You... Special... Mom......" Buzz went crazy directly in Chinese, and quickly switched to the local language after the race, gritted his teeth and said: "Very good, 20,000 US dollars, right?" I'll give you this money, and I'll release you as soon as I'm done. ”

With that, Buzz turned back to his Toyota SUV and shoved two wades of dollars into the hands of the two soldiers.

The two soldiers ran at the speed of a sprint sprint, with some disbelief on their faces.

The barricades were removed, and twelve minibuses finally stepped onto the steel bridge.

At this moment, everyone's heart was beating suddenly. An indescribable emotion suddenly replaced the anger that had preceded it.

Finally, they were safe.

When the first minibus crossed the bridge and came to the opposite bank, it came to the front of dozens of Chinese compatriots who greeted them. In the minibus, dozens of Chinese employees, who were originally silent and had deep fatigue and vigilance on their faces, suddenly covered their mouths and cried bitterly without any warning.

In the midst of the bitter weeping, their eyes were rejuvenated. They rushed out of the minibus quickly and orderly, saw familiar faces, heard familiar words, and immediately rushed over and hugged the crowd. The crowd that greeted them also couldn't help but shed tears.

These big men, with an average age of more than thirty-five, hugged each other, patted each other's backs, and choked up to wish each other,

The second ......

The third ......

One by one, the minibuses drove from the opposite bank, and the wide riverside soon gathered a team of several hundred people, most of whom were Chinese faces. In the team, Ye Qing also saw the car, so he hugged Zhang Huaidong, the ambassador to Nigaya, and hugged Mr. Yu Yong, the ambassador to Antiman, like lovers who had been separated for several years.

He alone has endured most of the threats and pressures, and he has always kept himself from falling into a panic situation, and has been working with the Blue Helmets to protect everyone in the team.

"I'm back!" Ambassador Yu Yong hugged Zhang Huaidong and yelled, his voice full of pride, "Lao Zhang, Lao Tzu has come back safely." ”

"What do you want to eat at noon, you tell my brother. Zhang Huaidong also yelled, "I have moved all the Moutai in the embassy, and we will not end if we don't drink it up today." ”

Ambassador Yu Yong laughed, then let go of his embrace and walked quickly to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing and his hands clasped tightly, and then hugged each other.

"Mr. Ye, thank you for your great kindness. ”

"No thanks, that's what I'm supposed to do. The corners of Ye Qing's eyes also burst into tears, in such a scene, under the cheers and celebrations of so many compatriots, he had a kind of pride and luck in his heart that he was also a descendant of Yan and Huang.

"Listen to me. ”

After a long time, Zhang Huaidong, the ambassador to Nigaya, shouted: "Compatriots, on the street opposite our embassy, there is one of the best French hotels in Nigaya. Now the whole hotel is under our bag, more than a dozen chefs are on standby, two hundred catties of seafood, more than a dozen boxes of Moutai and red wine are on the table, let's go and destroy them together!"

The crowd burst into cheers.

This place is not suitable for a long stay, and no one wants to stay for a long time.

Everyone wiped their tears and cheered into dozens of minibuses.

Just as everyone was sitting in the car, the convoy was moving. A minibus hanging at the end suddenly turned its head.

The minibus was a little different, all of its windows were opaque black glass, its body was not marked, and the minibus did not open its doors at all times.

Suddenly, there was a violent roar of engines on the shore, and the minibus brought by the giant beast industry rushed towards the steel bridge without stopping.
