Chapter 1074 Forced landing in Haiti

The island of Haiti, also known as Hispaniola. It is located in the southeastern part of the island of Cuba. It is larger than two Hainan islands and is the second largest island in the Caribbean, after Cuba. However, there are two countries on the island of Haiti, one is under the sea and the other is Dominica.

However, as the so-called plan did not change quickly, the fickle weather in the Caribbean still caused Xiao Peng and them problems, and the sudden rain caused them to change their scheduled route.

Originally, they planned to land in Dominica, in the eastern part of the island of Haiti, but now they have to land in Haiti in the west. And you have to refill the fuel here.

Truth be told, it's a terrible choice. According to the locals, when the Spaniards came to the island of Haiti, they gave Dominica in the east to God and Haiti in the west to the devil.

It makes sense to say that, although they are on the same island, but the gap between the rich and the poor between the two countries is very staggering, Haiti's per capita GDP is 771 US dollars, while the Dominican Republic is 7030 US dollars, which is about to catch up with China, which is nine times that of Haiti!

It's a pity to say that Haiti is the first country in the Caribbean to break away from colonial rule, as early as 1804, this is the black slaves of Spain, overthrew the Spanish rulers of the country, to this day, Haiti is also a black country, 97% of the country's population is black. And because their population was three times that of neighboring Dominica, and their economic weight was even larger, they were the dominant rulers of the island of Haiti from the founding of the country, and even from 1822 to 1844, Dominica was forced to accept Haitian rule.

However, the forced assimilation of Haiti at that time caused discontent among the Dominicans, who rebelled to regain their independence, but after independence, they still feared an invasion from the bottom of the sea, and even chose to re-annex to Spain in 1861. However, Spanish rule proved to be terrible as well, and then four years later they rebelled again and became independent again。。。。。。

To be precise, even at this time, Dominica was not very good, after entering the twentieth century, first the Stars and Stripes intervened in the Dominican civil strife in 1916, and then handed Dominica over to Truhi, the most powerful and bad dictator in their history, and in 1960, the Stars and Stripes were worried that Dominica would follow the old path of Cuba's revolution, so they assassinated Truhi, and after Truhi's death, Dominica began to develop officially.

But compared to his neighbor, mighty Haiti, their fate is wonderful!

First the warlord war, then the long occupation by the Stars and Stripes, and the 'presidents for life' Duvaliers and father and son, their reign was definitely the darkest period in Haiti's history. So to this day, it is still an agrarian country, and the whole country is now one of the least developed countries in the whole world.

It was only last year that the army was rebuilt----- and in 1994, then-President Aristide disbanded the Haitian army: it was not enough to feed it, not enough for the warlords to bully.

Although I don't want to admit it, Haiti is also a country that has been spoiled by the black corns.

However, thanks to the fact that there was no army in Haiti, Xiao Peng and their plane easily entered Haiti. Landing at a reef in Gonave Bay, Yang Meng excused himself to survey the nearby situation, and left the beach with 'No. 1' and 'No. 2', giving Xiao Peng a chance to collect the plane.

Xiao Peng received the plane into the ring, smoked a cigar and waited for a long time after Yang Meng and when they came back, they only saw two motorcycles there.

'No. 2' was puzzled and asked, "Mr. Xiao, where is our plane?"

Xiao Peng handed Yang Meng a cigar and said, "It's hidden." Mengzi, how is the situation?"

Yang Meng took the cigar and lit it with a surprised look: "We seem to have arrived at a garbage dump." ”

"What's that?" Xiao Peng took out the GPS locator: "Please, this should be near Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti!"

Yang Meng frowned: "What am I lying to you for?"

Xiao Peng nodded and said to Martin's two children, "You two get in the car." Let's quickly find a place to shelter from the rain first, and then say" After speaking, he pinned the GPS to the front of the motorcycle, and drove away with Yang Meng on the motorcycle.

No wonder Yang Meng said that this is a garbage dump------ there is garbage everywhere. Broken bottles and rags were everything, just piled up on the side of the road, emitting a bad smell. Along a bumpy dirt road, two motorbikes followed the GPS directions to the nearest hotel, called the Hotel Prince, which is near Port-au-Prince Airport.

In Xiao Peng's impression, this Haiti should be a poor place, but seeing this Prince Hotel made Xiao Peng change his impression.

This hotel is a manor, although it is only four floors, but the red and yellow exterior wall is very beautiful under the light, and the area is quite large. Even though it's dark and raining, there are some tourists dressed up and sitting under the rain pavilion drinking champagne and watching the night view.

There is also a Haitian travel sign on the door ------ five hibiscus flowers. This is Haiti's unofficial national flower, and the five hibiscus flowers indicate that this should be a five-star hotel!

The whole hotel is surrounded by all kinds of plants, the environment and pool and layout of the whole hotel are more like a resort hotel------ who would have thought that there would be such a beautiful and gorgeous hotel in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere?

But it's unpleasant that the whole hotel is surrounded by wrought iron fences, which are full of sharp barbs, and the hotel is very good, but with this fence power grid monitoring equipment, and the thick iron gate is closed, it is more like a prison. But seeing this, Xiao Peng was a little at a loss, this hotel is a five-star hotel? Then the management must be very strict, right? Can they live here? Although he and Yang Meng have Mexican passports, they have no Haitian entry record at all, and they have not stamped the customs clearance stamp. Not to mention the 'No. 1' and 'No. 2' Brazilian passports.

Moreover, Haiti is one of the few 'countries with diplomatic relations' on the island, can they welcome these Chinese?

Before Xiao Peng could decide whether to go in or not to try, the big iron door was slowly opened. Out of it came four black men armed with submachine guns! That's right! It's a submachine gun!

'No. 1' and 'No. 2' were taken aback, how could there still be people in luxury hotels who came out to rob them? Xiao Peng and Yang Meng were ready to take action as soon as possible.

The next move of the four blacks armed with submachine guns made the crowd stumble: two men continued to push open the door, and the other two made a 'please' gesture to signal them to enter.

Xiao Peng and Yang Meng, you look at me, I look at you, yes, the feelings are security guards here!

So Haiti is not a very safe country after all, otherwise why would the hotel still need to be guarded by people with guns? Or is it a special submachine gun? But from another angle, well, there is a group of people with submachine guns as security guards, this security is still guaranteed, isn't it?

Xiao Peng and the others parked their motorcycles directly at the door of the hotel, and if they couldn't stay, they rode away directly. But the gun-wielding security guards had already begun to scrutinize their motorcycles, and they were still sighing. After all, the statue of this Murray MV800 is indeed too mysterious. They hadn't really seen it before.

A few people pouted, shook off the rain on their bodies, and entered the hotel lobby full of embarrassment, this hotel decoration is really great! Everything is no different from the world's top luxury hotels, except for some Haitian elements similar to plantains, starfish, goat sculptures and so on.

Only then did Xiao Peng know that the Prince Hotel belonged to the Marriott Hotel Group Company, which is the world's leading international hotel management company, with more than 6,500 hotels around the world, but he didn't expect that there would be one here.

On duty at the front desk was a black woman, about thirty years old, with a badge that read 'Duty Manager Elisa', and when she saw Xiao Peng and a few people coming, she asked, "May I ask a few gentlemen, do you have a reservation?"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "No." "This Nima doesn't even have a passport, what else is there to book?

He just wanted to tell a lie, saying that he had lost his passport, could he stay here for one night, but who knew that Alyssa said directly: "Sorry sir, the rooms here are full!"

Xiao Peng looked at the huge hotel, how could this Nima be full? Do you think you are Las Vegas?

"The president's suit is also full?" Xiao Peng asked.

Alyssa nodded: "Sir, I'm sorry!"

Xiao Peng was speechless, and waved his hand at Yang Meng: "Let's go, let's change to a hotel." ”

A few people walked to the door of the hotel, and as soon as they got on the motorcycle, they saw Alyssa chasing them out again: "Gentlemen, please stay!" After speaking, he glanced at the security guards who were still looking at the two motorcycles.

Xiao Peng thought they wanted to do something, but several security guards dispersed. Only Alyssa was left standing in front of the motorcycle.

"Alyssa, what's the matter?" Xiao Peng asked puzzled.

Alyssa replied, "That's right, sir, I just found out that I can help you find a room, but this room has no supporting services, and any breakfast and the like need to spend your own money, and this room only accepts cash, no receipts." ”

Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly realized that this was a private sale!

It seems that no matter what kind of enterprise it is, it must learn to follow the local customs. A hotel as large as Marriott has become a tool for personal gain here in Haiti.

There is no way, if you are poor, you will think about change, people like Xiao Peng who come to stay in the hotel without a reservation, especially the guests who come here to stay in the middle of the night, it is definitely a good opportunity for the staff on duty here to fill their pockets! That's why there is this Alyssa contacting Xiao Peng privately.

Thinking about this, Xiao Peng's eyes narrowed: "There are four of us and there is only one room, how can this work?"
