Chapter 208: Journey to Carry a Gun!
After a night, Zhang Feng's mood was a little heavy, is it worth going to a country like this?
But at noon the next day, Zhang Feng said goodbye to Prince Jack and set foot on a scarred country, along the way, he saw too much beauty, and saw the world too beautifully, so Zhang Feng went to a country where many people talked about the color change.
Stepping on the plane and bidding farewell to the country of local tyrants, Zhang Feng began a journey full of danger or thrills.
"I'm going to a country I don't know if I'm going to go or not, and if I can, I'll broadcast it to everyone. Zhang Feng attached such a sentence to the picture of the plane, and then posted it on the official account.
As soon as this information was released, Zhang Feng's fans began to discuss it, some said to go to Qatar, after all, the situation in Qatar is very delicate now, and some said to go to Iran or Turkey, but no one thought that Zhang Feng actually went south and went to Somaliland, one of the least developed countries in the world.
When you think of Somaliland, many people associate it with Somalia, imagining it to be full of piracy, war, danger, poverty, refugees. In practice, however, on 18 May 1991, the Dir tribes in northern Somalia declared their independence and established the Republic of Somaliland.
Although it has not been recognized by any country in the world, it has actually existed as a fully righteous entity for 23 years.
There are too many uncertainties in such a non-existent country, and Zhang Feng was reading an article about couples on the plane: Bai Yansong saw Zhang Xinyu Liang Hong's adventure experience in Newsweek, and said that he admired the courage of these two young Chinese to take the unusual path. Bai Yansong commented: "Zhang Xinyu and Liang Hong's journey to the earth, due to factors such as age, financial resources, occupation, and interests, may not be directly cloned, nor may it be recommended that everyone learn from them. But letting your dreams and interests make your own decisions, and let travel add color to your life, is worth learning from everyone. Chinese can already go further and go more personally. ”
The 08-year [Wenchuan Big Drop Earthquake] made Zhang Xinyu and Liang Hong feel the impermanence of life, and also made them re-establish their life goals. This 35-year-old was once a multimillionaire with a successful career. After experiencing the impermanence of life and death in the [Wenchuan Great Drop Earthquake], he resolutely gave up his business and began a journey around the world, in order to satisfy his curiosity, and at the same time, he was also seeking a textured life. Why did you choose Somalia? We still have to start with "Project Black Hawk," one of Zhang Xinyu's favorite American films, "The scene of the flames of war and the deafening sound of gunfire made my blood flutter when I was still very young at the time." The military operation against Somalia was the heaviest loss of the United States since the "Vietnam War." Driven by curiosity, Zhang Xinyu came to Somalia without hesitation, "The U.S. military is well-equipped, but it lost so completely in Somalia, why did the Black Hawk fall there?"
Although there are more and more tourist routes nowadays, Zhang Xinyu's adventure route is always the most exciting.
"First of all we're a couple, and second we're walking non-stop, so it's our couple. In their first travelogue, they also recorded in detail their camping in the extreme climate of -71°C in Oymyakon, the "cold pole of the world", and their thrilling encounters in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.
……
"Obviously, they're going through a different journey and looking at a different landscape. This is a sentence that Zhang Feng said to himself after reading it.
After reading it, Zhang Feng suddenly felt that he was a little vulgar, and he had been walking the road of the public, but he was not as good as the minority.
The first to go to Ethiopia took the time to apply for a visa, Zhang Feng is one of the 505 people who went to Somalia this year, which shows how mysterious this country is, of course, 505 people are for billions of people around the world.
Entering Somalia from Ethiopia, a worn-out string hangs as a border between the two countries.
Zhang Feng knew that his psychological preparation was not enough, and he needed to lower it a lot, a rope also refreshed Zhang Feng's understanding of the national border, and after entering Somaliland, the guards in the car took out their guns, and their vigilance was significantly improved.
Zhang Feng touched the dollar in his pocket, a little worried, hoping that after he finished his serious business, he could deal with it easier when he encountered trouble.
As soon as you enter Somalia, you can clearly feel the smell of an Is-Lan country, and the streets are filled with women wrapping their hair in headscarves and flying high flags with the Is-Lan mantra. In addition, unlike other Mus-Lim countries, the women's headscarves here are mostly colorful, and the flowers and greenery flutter in the wind on the streets and alleys, which has become a special scenery.
Once Zhang Feng wanted to take pictures, but was stopped by his fellow travelers, taking pictures in Somalia is to obtain people's permission, at least for people and camels, and there is no need for buildings or anything.
Zhang Feng can only give up, so if you want to start a live broadcast, it is a little difficult to estimate, at least even if people know about it, they can't catch you before you can open it.
The car drove all the way to its capital, Hallgosa, and the poverty was palpable along the way. Broken roads, barren land, colorful garbage bags flying everywhere, emaciated children wandering around barefoot. Enter Hargosa, the so-called capital, which is nothing more than a dilapidated small town, and then there are lively Somaliland people living here.
After getting out of the car, after communicating with the guards, he kept looking for people, trusting relationships, and spent a lot of money to buy a second-hand car with good performance, and then he was looking for people, trusting relationships, spending money, and under the powerful money offensive, Zhang Feng actually got a temporary gun license, of course, the effect of this certificate may be very poor, but it is somewhat legal.
"Thank you very much. Zhang Feng bowed to a Somali official and thanked him.
The official smiled and put the bag down, and said, "Pay attention to safety all the way, try not to go to the areas marked above, because they may not recognize what I gave you." ”
"Okay. ”
After coming out of the somewhat decent official residence, Zhang Feng drove his car, carrying his AK and the Desert Eagle, and began to walk around the Somali capital, the most common street is piles of money-changing stalls, stacked with Somali shillings.
Zhang Feng found a place that was safe to look at, and planned to get out of the car to buy food, water, and some Somali shillings needed for this special road trip.
