At 7 p.m. on June 14, 1977, after we had dinner at the guest house, Garbert's assistant came to pick us up and take us to the U.S. military airfield in Bangkok.

At 9 p.m., we took a military flight to Singapore.

At 11 p.m., we arrived at a military airfield.

After we got off the plane and picked up in a car arranged by Garbert, they dropped us off at a beachfront hotel.

At the hotel, we had a three-bedroom room and I washed up and rested after putting my luggage, gear and belongings in the room.

On June 15th, at 10 o'clock in the morning, we sat in the living room of our room and drank coffee and chatted.

Li Xiaohu said: "Stationmaster! What are we doing in Singapore? ”

I said, "We don't have any specific tasks here, let's visit a few acquaintances in the CIA system, and then let's go to a few cities in the Nanyang area and have fun!" Just feel the social situation here! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Ah Cai! So, let's go out for a walk! The city environment and scenery are very nice! ”

I said, "Okay! Let's go and visit our old friend Mr. Steve, who is now the head of the CIA workstation here! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Okay! Alas, Steve, this martial artist, has finally been promoted to a high official! We haven't seen him since we left the CIA island base in North America! ”

So, I contacted Steve on the phone in my hotel room.

Steve was so happy to know we were in Singapore! He told us to go to the local CIA workstation at 2 p.m. to talk to him.

So, we dressed up and brought our belongings such as weapons, papers, and cash, and we went out together.

After leaving the hotel, we chose a Chinese restaurant near the hotel that we thought was better for lunch.

In the restaurant, we asked for a private room where we could watch the sea, and after ordering tea and meals, we drank tea and chatted with the sea.

Li Xiaohu smiled and said, "Alas! This is the life of peace! However, in Phnom Penh, northern Myanmar, Kachin and other regions, peaceful days are luxuries! They are two completely different worlds from here! ”

Xiaoda said, "Yes! Everyone is the same kind of person, why are there so many differences in their ideas and ways of life?! Is it ideals and culture that make society?! Or is it the environment that makes society?! ”

I said, "Alas! Ideas, culture, and environment all have the potential to influence a society! Ideals and culture are the dreams of people, and many people rely on dreams to design their roads and lifestyles! Therefore, they have taken different paths, different paths, and different natural lifestyles! The environment is the most important external factor and condition for human survival and development, and the environment determines the source of food, living conditions and production conditions, etc., and these factors and conditions determine the quality and quantity of social and economic supply in this region! In terms of the environment, I think the environment in Asia and Southeast Asia is very good, and the main reason for the social difference is the people's thinking and cultural habits! ”

Li Xiaohu said: "Yes! Let's put it simply, the brain determines the future! As long as you see the world clearly and figure it out, those who can do this will get rich and live a good life! Those who like to drill the horns of the bull and have brain problems, they are still struggling in war and poverty! Well, now we've seen it through and figured it out! Moreover, we still have some money, let's prepare to live our own peaceful life! It's too big in the world, it's not something we have to take care of! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas! I feel like you're all thinkers, come on! Now that the food is ready, let's eat! Only after you have eaten will you have the strength to continue thinking! ”

Everyone laughed!

......

After lunch, we took a taxi straight to Steve's.

We met him in Steve's office, and now he is a colonel, in fact, getting the rank of colonel is indeed a very successful sign for a soldier!

After we met, he put down his work and took us over coffee and chatting on the couch!

Steve laughed and said, "Jack! Tom! You guys are amazing! You are already major generals and brigadier generals! ”

I said, "Steve! You're not bad, you're the colonel now! ”

Steve laughed and said, "Oh! Yes! I've gotten to where I am today, and I'm very happy with myself! Down, I don't want to be promoted and get rich! I feel like my income and working environment are good at the moment! Therefore, I am already married! Let's take a look at my family portrait! ”

From his desk, he showed us a frame of a photo of his family.

The photo reflects that Steve's wife is a native girl from Southeast Asia, so his one-year-old son must be a cute mixed-race child!

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Steve! Your good son is too stylish! He's a super alien! ”

Steve laughed and said, "Yes! My colleagues say the same! I love my son so much, maybe he will be able to be a superman when he grows up! However, I don't know if he likes to save people and the planet! ”

Everyone laughed!

I said, "Steve! Is your job okay? ”

He smiled and said, "Oh! Oh, my God! I don't really like what I do now, but I don't need to use my brain! If you like boats, working here is a pleasure for you! What we do every day is to get to know the ships coming and going from the various ports here! How many staff do we have to inspect the ships, and do we know what cargo is on board these ships? Where are they loaded from? Where is it going to be shipped? If these vessels violate international embargoes and laws, we will notify the Allies to inspect and seize them! Of course, if the Allies do not cooperate with our actions, we will also forcibly inspect and seize these problematic ships! Oh, it feels like the world is crazy! A lot of people don't take us and international law seriously at all, and as a result, they are sneaking around transporting all sorts of prohibited items! Oh, my God! Why should I show off my great work to you! However, I feel like this work is a pile of shit! ”

Everyone laughed!

I said, "Steve! Tomorrow, we want to go to Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta to have fun! Do you have any acquaintances there? ”

He said, "Jack! You know, my acquaintances are all young ladies! I really don't have any serious acquaintances in those places! However, you can go to the two subordinate staff members who work in those places of our CIA workstation! But, they are poor just like me! They don't want to deal with rich people who do business! ”

Then, Steve wrote to me the name, address, and contact number of the heads of the CIA work focal points at their workstations in Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta.

Because he was so busy, colleagues from the station kept coming in and out of his office to ask him for instructions and report the situation.

Therefore, we had to say goodbye to Steve and go to the city.

......

In the evening, we returned to our hotel for dinner.

After we ordered the food and drinks, we drank and chatted.

Xiaoda said: "Ah Cai! Kuala Lumpur is so close to Singapore! It should be the same there as it should be here, and we shouldn't be seeing updates in Kuala Lumpur! Tomorrow, let's go to Jakarta to have a look, and then, let's go directly to Pontianak to visit old friends and have fun there, and then, let's go back to Hong Kong City early to have a peaceful life! ”

Li Xiaohu said: "Yes! We don't have acquaintances in these places, and it's really not fun to have no acquaintances! Now, I feel that the best place is the place to have a home! ”

At 9 p.m., after dinner, we had a flight ticket to Jakarta tomorrow morning at the hotel reception.

Then, we went back to our room to rest.

......

Early in the morning of June 16th. After waking up and washing, pack your luggage, gear, and belongings. Check out at the front desk and take the hotel's airport shuttle to the airport.

At 9 a.m. we took a flight to Jakarta.

We arrived at Jakarta International Airport at around 10 am.

After we got out of the airport, we took the airport bus to a hotel near the Jakarta port, and we still wanted to live in a three-bedroom suite.

We found the phone number and address of the Pontianak Special District** office in Jakarta, which is very close to the hotel where we stayed.

So, I first contacted Steve's subordinate Ballard by phone to learn something about the current state of local society.

Ballard received the call and said that he had just received a call from Steve informing us that he could receive us and that he had asked us to take a taxi to his office right away.

So, the three of us packed our belongings, left the hotel and took a taxi to his office.

Soon we arrived, Ballard's office, which was in the office building of a shipping company.

However, the location is very remote and deserted, and the building looks very shabby, and we don't see anyone coming here to talk about business.

The door of the building was unguarded, it was naturally open, so we pushed the door into the house ourselves and looked for Mr. Ballard.

When Ballard saw us enter the house, he greeted us, shook hands and greeted us!

He was a white mixed-race man in his fifties and he let us have coffee in the living room to chat with him.

Ballard smiled and said, "Oh! General Jack! Are you here for a tourist? ”

I said, "Yes! Mr. Ballard! We are businessmen to the outside world! We just want to get you to know what the business environment is like! We want to look for some business opportunities here! ”

Ballard said, "Oh! Oh, my God! The business environment in this place is terrible! This society has been torn apart by race, culture and religion, and everyone does not treat each other as their own, so the contradictions and hatred between the people are deep! At the same time, most of these people are very concerned about God and the afterlife! They don't care much about the worldly life in the present! It turns out that there are a lot of Chinese here, and the Chinese are very good at doing business and running businesses, but now, they have all been driven away by the authorities! The locals have occupied the territory and monopolized these various commercial resources! Because the locals don't understand social and economic management, they make all walks of life very depressed! My shipping company has been closed for a few years since there is no business to do! Because I don't want to live in a strange place anymore, I still stay here to work and live, and my children have gone to all over the world to develop! ”

Me: "Oh! It's so unfortunate here! Are you okay with your life now? ”

Ballard smiled and said, "Jack! For the elderly, life is just a memory and a wait! In fact, in the past and now, everyone's life is not easy! Sometimes, I feel that the past was too good, and now life is too sinful! Perhaps, this is the best way God can give us to live! Oh, kids! Don't overthink it, we're just passing by! ”

After the conversation, we said goodbye to Ballard and we took a taxi from Ballard's office on a deserted street and headed back to the hotel.

After arriving at the hotel, we went to the hotel's buffet restaurant for lunch.

After lunch, we went back to our room to pack our luggage and belongings, and contacted the Pontianak office, and the person from the office said, let's go over immediately, we are looking for Lu Minda is in the office.

So, I asked Li Xiaohu to stay in the hotel room, and Xiaoda and I took a taxi to the Pontianak office.

Soon after, we arrived at the Pontianak office and were greeted at the door of the office by Lu Minda, who took us to their office for tea and chat.

Lu Minda smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Xiaoda! We haven't seen each other in over two years! Are you all right now? ”

I said, "Mindako! We're all right! Are you all right now? ”

Lu Minda smiled and said, "Okay! Now, the society and economy of the SAR must have stabilized, and my father, the head of the country, Lu Qiangjun, and the deputy head of Fang Jianguo, are in good health. I am now the Director of the Office here, mainly responsible for the business of industry and commerce and trade in the HKSAR! Are you here for tourism or business? ”

I said, "Errand plus travel!" We've seen pretty much it here! Tomorrow, we want to visit your father and them in Pontianak! ”

Lu Minda smiled and said, "Great! My father has been reading about you all the time, but everyone has been busy for the past two years! Therefore, everyone has no chance to meet if they want to! It just so happens that I'm going to send some trade approvals back to the SAR so I can accompany you back to Pontianak! At 5 o'clock this afternoon, you take your luggage here, and we will take the boat back together! ”

So, after saying goodbye to him, we returned to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel room, we packed our luggage, gear and belongings and drank coffee, chatted and rested together in the living room.

Li Xiaohu smiled and said, "Alas! We can travel to Pontianak, are there many Chinese there? ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "That's a lot! However, they have all gone along with the locals! It's hard to see who's Chinese and who's local! ”

......

At 5 p.m., the three of us went to the hotel front desk with all our luggage, gear and belongings to settle the bill and took a taxi to the Pontianak office.

When we arrived at the Pontianak office, Lu Minsheng asked us to put our luggage and belongings in the office car, and he took the vehicle with us to the cargo terminal.

At 6 p.m., we boarded the Pontianak cargo ship, Lu Minda arranged a room for the three of us to rest, and after we put away our luggage, we went to the onboard restaurant for dinner.

Here's a buffet style, where we get food and drinks and get together to eat and talk.

Lu Minda smiled and said, "Ah Cai! My dad was overjoyed to know that you were going to visit them! ”

I said, "We're so happy!" How are Fang Guohui and Lu Minsheng now? ”

Lu Minsheng said: "Alas! Fang Guohui is now in charge of the foreign trade of the Special Economic Zone, and in terms of foreign trade, our Special Economic Zone has just obtained the trade concession license from Shangfeng, and they are busy preparing for the establishment of an international trade department! Lu Minsheng has just returned from graduation, and now, he is working in the department that Fang Guohui is in charge of! ”

I said, "Yes! We happen to have a trading company in Port City, and we might be able to help them! ”

Lu Minsheng smiled and said, "Absolutely!" Now, they are looking for an international trade agency to help the SAR market Pontianak's specialties and minerals, among other things! They are planning to open an international trade office in Port City, and this is the perfect time for you to discuss this with them! ”
