Chapter 547: The Dividing Line between Asia and Africa

Running in the desert in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan in a row really made the grandmaster addicted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 However, after coming out of Kazanzhik and running along the eastern side of the Caspian Sea for about 200 kilometers in the desert, I once again entered the troublesome mountainous area.

Because after crossing the border from Turkmenistan, you will arrive in Iran, which is located on the Iranian plateau.

After leaving the border, the guru walked along the southern edge of the Caspian Sea, the largest lake in the north, and the Alborz Mountains, the highest in the northern end of the Iranian plateau, to the south.

After about 180 kilometers along Highway 22 on the edge of the Caspian Sea, you will arrive at Amole, an important town in northern Iran. From here, turn onto Route 77 and climb over the majestic Alborz Mountains.

Iran's highest peak, Mount Damavand, at 5,671 meters above sea level, is located on the west side of Highway 77, and you can see this huge awl-like peak when you drive on Highway 77 among the mountains.

It is an extinct volcano with snow on its summit all year round and is a famous tourist destination in Iran.

After crossing the Alborz Mountains, you will arrive in Tehran, the capital of Iran.

Because it borders Dahua, the relationship between Iran and Dahua is very iron, look at the relationship between Pakistan and China in the previous life, and you will know the relationship between Iran and Dahua in this life.

However, the Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying did not stay in the city for long, but repaired the vehicles at the fixed supply point of the Real Madrid team, replenished some supplies, and continued to move forward.

But driving on the Iranian plateau is not the same as driving in the desert of Turkmenistan. Iran is full of mountains, from Tehran to Baghdad, over the Kukhrud Mountains in the center and the Zagros Mountains in the west, so you can only follow the road honestly. The 1,000-kilometer journey from Tehran to Baghdad took the Grandmaster 12 hours until about 9 p.m. before arriving in Baghdad.

Much like in previous lives, Iraq remains a concentration camp for terrorists around the world. In the year when the Grandmaster first crossed over, he witnessed the 911 incident in the world again on television at the Nandu International Rock Music Festival, and afterwards, the United States also determined that the Iraqis were responsible for the terrorist attack, so it was inevitable that the Gulf War would start again in this life.

Today, although the Gulf War ended with the victory of the US-led multinational forces, Iraq is still a mess under the ambiguous attitude of Dahua.

On the Middle East issue, Dahua in this life also has its own plans. Iraq is originally inclined to Western countries and is not close to Dahua, so Dahua is also happy to see the turmoil in Iraq.

In normal times, the Grandmaster would certainly not have brought Fang Zhengying to the capital of this troubled country, but during the Vladivostok-Cape Town Car Rally, the Grandmaster had no such concerns.

In order to escort the Vladivostok-Cape Town Automobile Rally, Dahua's two aircraft carrier squadrons have sailed into the Persian Gulf in eastern Iraq and the Mediterranean Sea in the west, and have taken an extremely tough attitude to announce to the outside world that from 1 March to 1 April, as long as anyone in Iraq dares to commit crimes against passing cars, Dahua's carrier-based aircraft will always teach those terrorists how to behave.

As soon as the first Gulf War ended last year, Dahua's two aircraft carrier fleets sailed into the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf, looking at the whole of Iraq from the east and the west, and at the same time warned the countries participating in the war to escort the rally cars and drivers, otherwise Dahua would not hesitate to take sanctions.

Dahua in this life is so bullish, who dares to be disobedient, teach him how to be a person every minute!

After staying in Iraq for one night, the grandmaster pulled Fang Zhengying early the next morning to continue the road. No matter how deterrent Dahua's two aircraft carrier formations were, the Grandmaster was not willing to stay in such a city for a little longer.

Thirty kilometres west from Baghdad, after crossing the Euphrates from Fallujah, we entered the Arabian Plateau in western Iraq.

It is said to be a plateau, but the terrain is not very high, and it is relatively flat, and there are many tributaries of the Euphrates River that originate here and eventually flow into the Euphrates River.

In this kind of desert area where the land is sparsely populated and the desert has a fight, sports cars are obviously a very comfortable thing, and in Iraq in March, the temperature is not high or low, which is the most suitable for sports cars.

Advancing in a straight line in the desert, it took two and a half hours to cross the border with Iraq and reach Jordan.

All cars participating in the Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally are issued with a special pass that prevents the driver from being charged with smuggling when crossing the border.

It is also thanks to Dahua's strong national power and unparalleled international influence that the countries along the rally can agree to the existence of this special pass. Of course, this special pass is also time-limited, and the validity period is 60 days.

After entering Jordan, it continued westward along the desert, making a slight turn, crossing the Jordanian border at the southern end of the Dead Sea, and then quickly passing through Israel to enter Egypt.

The area they entered into Egypt was the Sinai Peninsula, and the southern part of this peninsula was the Tih Plateau, and the Grandmaster naturally would not be stupid to go on a mountain road, he went all the way west along the plain of the Arish River on the Mediterranean coast, and the destination was Kantara, a small city on the east bank of the Suez Canal.

From Baghdad to Kantara, the distance in a straight line is about 1,800 kilometers, but most of the road is desert area, so the Grandmaster arrived in Kantara at about four o'clock in the afternoon.

In Kantara, the grandmaster and Fang Zhengying first signed in, and then found the fixed supply point of the Real Madrid team, as usual, first carried and overhauled the car, and after replenishing the supplies, they walked to the street hand in hand.

After traveling more than 5,000 kilometers in three days, Rao is Grandmaster has excellent physical fitness, and he also needs to take a break. After all, he was basically driving the vehicle all the way, and even Fang Zhengying, who was just sitting in the car, couldn't stand the bumps, let alone the grandmaster who was driving.

The two drove to the edge of the Suez Canal and admired this wonder of human engineering up close.

The more than 300-meter-wide river is frequented by many large ships, and it is precisely because of this canal that the connection between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea has been established, and the distance from Asia to Europe has been shortened by more than 8,000 kilometers.

The Suez Canal is a great canal in every sense of the word, and it is also the dividing line between Asia and Africa.

And tomorrow, Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying will drive their car across this artificial river and officially enter the border of Africa from Asia.
