Chapter Eighty-Six: The Refugee Train
I don't know if Han Yamo's voice is too much like the underworld or whether Rong'er is simple-minded and easy to be deceived, anyway, when we drove the car downstairs, we saw this girl holding two slender steel bars through the honeycomb stove chimney from a distance, and rushed straight towards Han Yamo with a desperate posture, so frightened that I quickly got out of the car to stop it, explained the ins and outs of the whole thing and apologized sincerely, and then unexpectedly, the two steel bars pierced my face...... You say I'm messing with someone!? Why should I take the blame for someone else's bad idea?
But fortunately, the traditional women who were educated from the four virtues in ancient times were more superstitious, and even believed that men swore to the sky that they would not die well, and after I repeatedly assured that I was not the mastermind of this lack of moral idea, this little aunt and grandmother forgave me, and I was cheeky and rhetorical, soft and hard soaked to death and shamelessly pulled into the car, which is considered to be a successful solution to this emotional crisis, which shows that the ancients are simple-minded! This is to put aside a new century enlightened girl who is brainwashed by romance dramas, I put a square heart-shaped candle downstairs, hold the guitar and sing and apologize, all of which may be poured down by a basin of footwater......
rushed all the way to the airport, and climbed onto the plane under Han Yamo's anxious urging, until the plane slid off the runway and slowly took off, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned my head and smiled flatteringly at Rong'er: "Sleep for a while, we'll go to Europe when we wake up......
"Who said that?" the bad scholar sitting in the back row of me took off his headphones and interjected, "We still have a long way to go." ”
"Huh, where are we flying now?" I asked, disappointed.
"Istanbul!"
“…… And then, tell me if we're still in the Northern Hemisphere, are we're going to the Arctic Circle, don't you take us to Australia!"
Istanbul, located at the eastern end of the Balkan Peninsula, on the west shore of the southern mouth of the Bosphorus, and at the throat of the golden waterway between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, is Turkey's largest city and port, as well as Turkey's cultural, economic and financial center, a world-famous tourist destination, and one of the bustling international metropolises.
At the same time, it is located at the junction of Europe and Asia, and is the only city in the world that straddles two continents. This superior geographical condition not only makes it an internationally renowned center of trade and cultural exchange, "the most brilliant pearl on the golden waterway", but also because it borders Iraq and Syria. It also has frequent trade with Europe, and has become the main bridgehead and transit point for international mercenaries to go to the Middle East to carry out missions, according to bad scholars and others, as long as there is money and access, all kinds of conventional and non-conventional weapons can be bought here. All kinds of intelligence information can be inquired about, and even if you need some special services, such as running away to seek revenge and changing your name and surname, you can find a satisfactory answer here.
"But...... What does this have to do with us!?" As I walked out of Istanbul International Airport, I complained to the bad scholar boy: "We're going to Europe, Europe! Not to Iraq to clean up Saddam! What's the use of you pulling us here!?"
"I know you want to go to Europe, okay?" The kid plucked his ears impatiently, looking like I was very annoyed and noisy, making him unbearable: "If you can get a passport and a visa, just buy a ticket for yourself." Not only do you not have to take a long detour, but you can also enjoy the free in-flight snacks on international flights!"
The old ancestor of the futon also came out to calm the matter: "Aren't we going to engage in smuggling? Naturally, we have to keep a low profile and detour, the flight route has always been the strictest part of the customs inspection, but it is not a way to pass the customs by stuffing two red envelopes." ”
"Shall we ...... Do you want to take the sea route?" I thought about the mercenaries along the way, and immediately thought that the sea route here leads directly to the Arctic Ocean.
As a result, the five of them shook their heads together: "Absolutely not! It's too unreliable! Last time I drove the boss's father's boat out to sea, and even the boat capsized when it encountered a storm, and it was too dangerous to take the sea route." ”
"Then how are we going to get to Europe?" I asked, surprised, this is Greenland, not only across the sea, but also thousands of miles away!
"Take the train!" replied passer-by, "The Eurasian Railway runs through Istanbul, and it will only take us to Europe in forty hours!"
"Ugh. On the train, isn't it strictly checked?" I asked with some certainty, and before I thought about it, I would take the train across a dozen countries. It is simply impossible not to find out the identity of our smuggling black households, and we can't hide in the toilet of the carriage like the Spring Festival ticket evasion, right?
"That's your luck," the bad scholar deliberately only said half of his words, and after a long time of deliberation, he continued: "You don't usually watch international news, do you?
The flow of refugees in Europe certainly knows. Recently, there has been a loop on TV and the Internet, saying that the people in the Middle East have been unable to live because of years of war, and in addition to the activities of terrorists, the contradictions that have accumulated for many years have finally erupted recently, so the Middle Easterners who have suffered from the war have dragged their families and families with them, and have left their homes and jobs to migrate to European countries without war...... But what does that have to do with us?
"Recently, under pressure from international human rights opinion, seven European countries have opened their borders to refugees from the Middle East," Han explained. ”
"You mean, we're going to get into Europe on a refugee train?"
The bad scholar nodded: "This is the best way at the moment, only under the cover of the massive crowds and mixed complex background of the refugee train, can we help you get through the chaos, in addition, Istanbul itself is also the largest refugee gathering point in the Middle East, and now I don't know how many people gather at the train station every day to wait to get on the train, and you are here to evade inspection and board the train is the most likely." ”
I pondered, it sounded really reasonable, it seems that the bad scholars, these mercenaries, are indeed not embroidered pillows who only ask for money and can't work.
"But there are also two difficulties," Bu Yuanyou, who had not spoken, said: "First of all, we are all Chinese, and it is too eye-catching to mix in a group of Kurds and Arabs, and second, the railway station is now crowded, and we may not be able to squeeze on the train." ”
"About this ......" I cautiously asked, "How does the situation at their train station compare to our Spring Festival?"
God can see mercy, I really want to prepare mentally in advance to deal with the big war to have this question, but I didn't expect Bu Yuanyou to misunderstand, and my lips muttered for a long time before I scolded: "Damn, I forgot that you all practiced, forget it, I didn't ask!"
