San Juan is still in chaos, the government forces can only control a few points in the city, and there is nothing to do about the former Wendu soldiers who are hiding everywhere, and when Quba was in exile, thousands of weapons from the arsenal were distributed to the civilian population, just to create the chaos today.

The telephone program-controlled exchange was broken, the mobile communication room was also blown up, communications relied on radio and satellite phones, the power plant was blown up, and the core components needed to be imported from Europe.

Western Sadamoa was originally a small agricultural country, to export rubber to earn limited foreign exchange, the annual GDP is not even as good as a town in developed countries, as early as the old king's reign, the country has been barren, to live on loans, and later Kuba stole power, in order to fight the civil war, he expropriated at home, and borrowed wildly abroad, and now the Martin cabinet is not only left with an empty treasury, but also a butt of foreign debt......

The country's finances have collapsed, banks have closed, shops have ceased to close, the Western Sadamoan peso has become worthless scrap paper, the black market is circulating in dollars, euros, West African CFA francs, and all kinds of foodstuffs, and the strongest hard currency is not dollars, but bullets.

What's even more terrifying is that San Juan is already on the verge of famine, due to the impact of the war, foreign ships dare not dock in the port of San Juan, the country has no money to import food, and it cannot be bought or transported, hundreds of thousands of people in San Juan are facing the threat of starvation, which is not a trivial matter, hundreds of thousands of hungry people plus weapons and ammunition everywhere and rebels ready to move, San Juan is a city on a volcanic crater......

The top priority is to import food to appease the people, Martin's cabinet immediately took action, but the treasury was empty, and even the money for sending mercenaries was paid in advance by Liu Ziguang, and the young prime minister was at a loss, or Liu Ziguang reminded him that Western Sadamoa is a tropical country rich in bananas, and if he can starve to death, it is strange.

Thus, a vigorous banana picking campaign began, and the government army mobilized thousands of people to go to the banana plantations in the suburbs to harvest the fruit, and the government paid for it.

Near San Juan are large plantations, which have been abandoned, but the banana trees are still thriving, and each tree bears large bunches of bananas, many of which have rotted on the ground because no one has harvested them.

Thousands of hungry people poured into the banana plantations and began a carnival-like harvesting operation, and thousands of acres of banana plantations were enough to alleviate the threat of famine, but the root cause of the problem still depended on imported food......

The convoy from Wood Manor arrived at the San Juan Hotel, the truck was full of pasta and ketchup, which was a by-product of the last time Zhang Baiqiang robbed the freighter, and the tribe had been eating this thing every day for months, and those who had already eaten it wanted to vomit when they saw the packaging of pasta, but for the majority of San Juan citizens, it was the supreme delicacy from Europe.

Martin Chen ordered the army to set up loudspeakers in the control area, and issued a proclamation to the citizens to publicize the exchange of weapons for food, a rifle can be exchanged for a box of food, a box of bullets can also be exchanged for a bag of noodles, and the effect was good for a few days, and in the courtyard of the San Juan Hotel, which served as a temporary headquarters, all kinds of broken guns and ammunition were piled up like a hill......

Although the civil war is still going on, and sporadic shootouts break out in the city of San Juan from time to time, but on the whole, the overall situation has been decided, and Martin Chen's performance has also impressed everyone with the young and somewhat excessive prime minister, Hu Qingsong generously lent one million US dollars to the provisional government of Western Sadamoa, bought 10,000 tons of grain from Canada to solve urgent needs, and urgently imported fuel oil and non-staple food from overseas, as for the expansion of ports, power plants, and the upgrading of communication systems, they are also mentioned on the agenda.

In general, Prime Minister Martin has done a good job, and the surrounding neighbors do not want to live next to a neighbor who is always at war, Gabon, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Angola and other countries have re-sent envoys and relief convoys to San Juan, and sent some food and medicine, although the symbolism is greater than the practical significance, but this is already very satisfying......

The ruins of the airport have almost been cleaned up, Hu Qingsong's Gulfstream G550 is not very damaged, and it can return to the blue sky after simple repairs, the situation in Western Sadamoa is developing in a good direction, and foreign investors such as Liu Ziguang can leave with confidence.

Prime Minister Martin personally went to the airport to see him off, and after circling over San Juan International Airport for three weeks, the Gulfstream passenger plane flew to the far east. ”

Liu Ziguang said: "First of all, I did not appoint him, but suggested to the king that he be appointed as interim prime minister. ”

"Pull it down, and suggest it, I see that little Arthur looks at you, and it's almost the same as his son......" Zhao Hui teased beside him.

Liu Ziguang smiled and continued: "You probably can't imagine how Martin Chen and I met, at that time he was still a thief, yes, just a thief who stole things, his passport expired, he stayed in Guangzhou and mixed up at the bottom of society, selling cheap small goods, bars, abduction, he didn't do anything except killing people and setting fires, just imagine, a black man who has been in a place like Guangzhou for several years, a little San Juan can be difficult to defeat him? ”

Everyone nodded again and again, praising the reason.

At the same time, a briefing note on the situation in West Africa was placed on the desk of the undersecretary of state at the State Department in Washington, and in the dozens of pages of the report, only a small reference was made to the interim government in San Juan, and the new prime minister was noted with a strong Chinese background......

The attention of the Japanese and all-encompassing deputy secretary of state was mainly focused on North Africa and the Arab world, where the revolutionary wave was in full swing, and how could he have the energy to take care of the affairs of a small country in West Africa, and besides, it was not a matter of a year or two for those Chinese to run Africa, so he glanced at it and turned the page.

……

When Liu Ziguang and others fought in San Juan, it was the beginning of the domestic summer vacation, universities, primary and secondary schools had holidays, and the students who had been restrained for a semester flew out of the campus like happy birds, downstairs in the women's dormitory of Beiqing University, a taxi was waiting quietly, not much effort, Wen Xue and Lu Jin came down from the upstairs with their luggage, talked and laughed and got into the taxi, Han Bing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked back and smiled: "Wen Xue, bring so much luggage?" ”

"Yes, gifts for my dad and those uncles...... Xiaoxue replied.

The taxi drove to the front of the train station, the three of them got off, carried a long line of big bags and small luggage into the waiting room, waiting for the train to Jiangbei City, this summer vacation Han Bing planned to go to Wen Xue's house as a guest, Lu Jin had nothing to do with him, Wen Xue originally wanted to object, but couldn't stand the bombardment of the two in turn, so he had to agree, and Xue Danping also knew about it, not only did not oppose but also supported it, and originally wanted to buy them a plane ticket or send a car directly to Jiangbei, but Han Bing said that he wanted to experience life, So just helped them buy a regular train ticket.

Three young college students sat on the train to the south, laughing and laughing all the way, attracting the people next to them to turn their heads from time to time, no wonder others watched, Wen Xue and Han Bing sat together, they were simply golden boys and girls, although Lu Jin was not as dazzling as Wen Xue, but she was also a first-class beauty, where the three of them sit, the whole carriage added a lot of color......

After the train speeded up, the time from the capital to Jiangbei was greatly shortened, the original ten hours of travel is now five hours, arrived at Jiangbei Railway Station when it was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still high in the air, the three of them stood in front of the Jiangbei Railway Station Square with their luggage, and carefully looked at this typical second-tier city in the mainland.

The square in front of the station is full of taxis, small hotels and private coaches holding paper signs to greet customers warmly, the square is full of shops selling pirated audio-visual products and discounted goods on both sides, in the small alleys, there are hotel signboards and neon signs in the shampoo room, and under the railway freight window on the side, there are more than a dozen tricycle drivers......

"This is Jiangbei, Xiaoxue's hometown." Han Bing thought silently in his heart.

Lu Jin looked around and said strangely: "Xiaoxue, why didn't anyone pick you up." ”

"My dad is not in good health, so I didn't let him pick him up, I'll just go back by myself, by the way, how are you going to live." Wen Xue said.

Lu Jin said: "I'll live with you, as for Bing Shao, you can go to live in a five-star hotel." As he spoke, he pointed to a small hostel called "Five-Star Hotel" next to the train station.

The three of them all laughed, the time was still early, and the issue of accommodation was not busy considering, so they called a taxi and drove to the riverside community where Wen Xue's house was located.

Half an hour later, the taxi drove to Wen Xue's downstairs, the community was in disrepair, the road was damaged, the greening was also very poor, and there was a billiards case in front of the building.

"Sister Xue, I'm back, I'll help you carry it." A kid snatched the travel bag in Wen Xue's hand, and ran upstairs on his feet, and the rest of the people couldn't help but say that they had taken the luggage in the hands of Han Bing and Lu Jin, and the enthusiasm was unbearable, Han Bing and Lu Jin looked at Wen Xue suspiciously, Wen Xue giggled: "They're fine, they helped me when I moved." ”

"Princess of the underworld, she really deserves her name." Han Bing secretly sighed that he had a hunch that this trip to Jiangbei might have unexpected gains.
