Chapter 49: Across Suez
My third child and I booked a taxi from the airport to Suez, which was more than 100 miles away from Luo, and came to a certain pier and found a small courtyard on the edge of the canal. In the courtyard there is a very stylish speedboat, and a man in big pants is lying on the yacht basking in the sun, holding a bottle of vodka in his hand. The white skin and wild chest hair on the chest prove that the man is from Russia.
The third child and I knocked on the door, then walked in and said bluntly: "Mr. Mia, I want to use your ship to go to the Lebanese port city of Tripoli." ”
The man raised his head and glanced at the two of us, then lazily rolled over and continued to bask in the sun on the other side.
I raised my voice an octave and said, "Mr. Mia, I want to use your ship." ”
"Oh,." The man named Mia stood up, walked over to me, and said menacingly, "Today Tuesday, don't you know? ”
I stared into his eyes: "I'll pay you." ”
Mia scolded angrily: "Shit, take your reward, get me out of my yard." ”
I calmly said, "Ten times." ”
Mia shouted angrily, "Get out of my house." ”
I turned to leave, and Mia yelled at my back, "I know you yellow-skinned monkeys have money, but I will never send you to Tribo on Tuesday......"
Before Mia could finish her sentence, a gun with a red tassel was pressed under his neck. The tip of the gun was blunt, but the cold feeling made Mia swallow the words back into her stomach. However, it was only a second of reaction time, and he bypassed the red tassel gun and rushed towards the third child. I unbuckled my belt and pulled out my son's gadgets for a flood. While peeing, he said to the third child: "Don't hurt him, I can't drive a speedboat." ”
The third turned his hand and turned the red tassel spear, and hit Mia's calf directly with the end without the spear head. Mia howled, hugged her legs and jumped up. The third child showed no mercy, and hit him with a stick, and Mia jumped around. When I finished urinating and turned around, Mia had already been beaten by the third child.
I asked the third child to stop, walked up to Mia and said, "We want to go to Tripoli, Lebanon, and today is not a Tuesday, if you use Beijing time, it is Monday." ”
"Oh, shit. It turns out that you are Chinese. Mia exclaimed.
I smiled and shrugged.
Mia said helplessly: "When I was a seaman in Vladivostok, I fought with you Chinese, and they were all men. Oh, though. When I fought with members of the Japan Coast Guard, they would just hide in the boat and not dare to come down. Well, you should know. It's like a mouse, hiding. ”
I didn't mean to talk nonsense with him: "Send us to Tripoli." ”
"There's a war going on in that place, so it's not very safe. Are you sure you want to go? Mia returned to the boat and took a sip of Nautga and said to me.
I said, "There's a war going on all over the Middle East, so why can't I go?" ”
"Eh, you're not going to die." This guy is a bit verbose.
I turned my head to look at the third child behind me and said with a smile: "I cherish my life." ”
Seeing the third child, Mia was a little frightened, and smiled in a winch: "Okay, I'll send you to Tripoli, but it will cost five thousand dollars." ”
"Deal." I was very happy.
Mia nodded and said, "Then please wait for me to change my clothes." ”
He walked into the room in the courtyard and came out ten minutes later. He wore a shabby Russian Navy uniform, an army beret, and three bottles of vodka in his hand. As soon as he threw the wine into the speedboat, he said, "Get on board." ”
The third child and I got the speedboat into the water, while Mia got two oil drums and pumped them into the engine. Popularly known as Dafei, this type of speedboat is very common in places like Hong Kong and is equipped with six to eight Yamaha engines. It is faster than an airplane at sea, and is mostly used by drug dealers to transport drugs, and of course a favorite of pearl cigarette and expensive car smugglers.
Looking at Mia's temperament, you can know that he usually does smuggling business.
The three of us got on a speedboat and walked slowly down the Suez Canal. Wait until you cross the Suez Canal to the territory of the Mediterranean. Mia pressed a few buttons on the big fly, and suddenly the engine behind the speedboat made a loud humming sound, and the speed suddenly increased, as if it was flying on the sea.
We had to wear helmets, otherwise the huge wind and waves would have kept us completely blind.
There are many countries along the Mediterranean coast, and the situation is complex. No one would have paid any attention to such a small runabout, which was soon reaching the Lebanese city of Tripoli after a six-hour crush of sailing. Before reaching Tripoli, we saw three British Air Force Tornado GR4 bombers speeding by.
Mia said to us as if to show off, "Hey, you see, the British in Cyprus have come out. ”
My brow furrowed, and I felt a little nervous.
Before arriving in the Lebanese port city of Tripoli, Mia gave me a brief overview of the situation in the Middle East. In the end, it is the people who are near the Middle East and know the situation in the Middle East well. He recommended that I hire a local as a guide and that I have to buy two weapons. If possible, you can even buy a grenade machine gun. This is more deterrent.
Well, deterrence is important in the Middle East. Mia said.
I nodded and agreed, and when I got to Tripoli, I paid him six thousand dollars and said with a smile: "The price of vodka has gone up." ”
Mia smiled: "I plan to stay here for a few days, and I hope to be able to take my sea plane again when you go back." ”
"I hope so." I said to him.
It was already evening, and my third child and I took a van to the largest hotel in Tripoli and stayed there. Took a shower, came to the hotel restaurant for a meal, and then found the hotel front office manager and wanted them to guide me to Damascus by car.
The hotel manager with a mustache told me: "There is a war going on in Damascus and the opposition is fighting the government. Dear sir, it is probably not a good choice for you to go there now. ”
"My friend is there, I need to save him." I said sincerely.
The hotel manager sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, I hope there are brave children willing to accompany you." ”
I nodded and said, "I hope you can get me some weapons, and I'll pay for the bills." ”
With that, I gave him a hundred dollars in a tip.
The hotel manager smiled and said, "I'd love to help you." ”
I smiled and went back to my hotel room.
……
Hotels in Tripoli have internet access, but just like in the country. Websites that cannot be accessed abroad, such as YouTube and Google, are blocked. However, Baidu and other domestic websites can be accessed, and I went to the domestic website to look at the news, but these news are not as detailed as I went out to find someone to ask. They wouldn't tell me where Liu Weiwei was, let alone tell me if Liu Weiwei was injured or injured.
I called the embassy in Syria and the embassy staff told me that the situation was terrible.
I couldn't find the press crews, who were preparing to evacuate the embassy and hoped that I wouldn't go to Damascus either.
I hung up the phone, thought about it for a while, and made another call to the CCTV International News Department. As a result, the staff of the news station in Syria lost contact. I inquired carefully, and there was indeed Liu Weiwei's name in these lists.
I immediately understood that something was wrong.
