Chapter 294: The car is out of gas
The afternoon meeting, although nominally called a meeting, was in fact a compromise between the two governments of Lisibia to China.
The so-called deliberations were nothing more than a gesture to show to Ambassador Fan and the four observers of the United Nations.
Although the process of deliberation was arguing, Shen Yun basically belonged to watching the excitement. Ambassador Fan and Qiu Shaohan are more than enough to deal with these problems, including Shen Yun, and the others are basically spectators.
When the two parties left the port of Brega satisfied, Ambassador Fan breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiao Shen, everything I can do has been done. Now you and Colonel Qiu can go directly to Houfra. ”
"When you get to the local area, you have to pay attention to safety. Although there are government forces in the area, there is no guarantee of your safety. Be careful. ”
Qiu Shaohan and Shen Yun nodded at the same time.
They all know these questions very well, Hufra is not a good place, and there must be danger if he goes alone.
When the car reached Sidle, Shen Yun and Qiu Shaohan changed to another car. The embassy in the trunk had already prepared a certain amount of funds and weapons, which was already the most powerful guarantee for the two of them.
The road to Hufra is much closer than to Tripoli.
But the actions of the two people, in order to ensure safety, the two still went halfway and found a relatively peaceful place to live.
After the worst of the conflict, the night in Licipia is now peaceful.
For a whole night, the two of them exchanged guards, but they did not hear a single gunshot.
Also, after a protracted firefight, for five or six years, no one has the energy to be able to make noise 24 hours a day from morning to night.
When the light of dawn shines on this hot land, the exclusive tropical animals start the hustle and bustle of the day.
Took out two bottles of water from the carriage, unscrewed them, wet the towels, rubbed two handfuls on their faces, and took a deep breath of the air with high oxygen content in the early morning, and the spirits of the two of them finally improved a lot.
I gnawed two pieces of compressed dry food with the remaining water, cleaned up all the traces, and then set out on the journey again.
Along the way, Qiu Shaohan couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, it was already the end of the year when we came, if it was in May or June, there would be little verdant on the road, and the tires would be burst." ”
Shen Yun took over the conversation: "It seems that when we arrive in Houfra, the survey of water sources is also the top priority. If there is no stable water supply at that temperature, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness of our fighters will drop a lot. ”
Facing Shen Yun's worries, Qiu Shaohan smiled: "You can rest assured, Houfra is also on the edge of the Jufra Oasis, and the groundwater resources are very rich, so don't worry about this problem." Of course, it would be nice if you could find a permanent water source at the camp. ”
When we reached Dakhla, which was already very close to Huvla, a very embarrassing thing happened - the car was running out of gas, and the spare gasoline was gone.
The two who had planned to go all the way to Houfra were dumbfounded for a while.
Qiu Shaohan had to sigh: "It seems that the first armed organization we want to contact is them." ”
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Shen Yun also knew very well in his heart that what Qiu Shaohan said about them was the oil facility guard that played a considerable role in Lisibia's economy.
The organization was founded four years ago to protect important oil facilities in Lisibia, as well as oil supply facilities in many important regions.
Although they did not monopolize the profits of Lisipia's oil, both the new government and the government of national salvation acquiesced in giving them a share of the oil and oil sales. With these proceeds, the Petroleum Facilities Guard has grown from strength to strength.
Today, it is the fifth largest military organization in Lisibia.
Neither had been to Dakhla, but that didn't stop them from finding a gas station quickly.
Dakhla is not a major city, so there is relatively little firefighting. So in the face of the vehicles driven by Shen Yun and Qiu Shaohan, the residents here did not have much fear.
Intentionally exercising Shen Yun's communication skills here, including asking for directions, Qiu Shaohan handed them all over to Shen Yun.
After getting out of the car, he stopped a local resident passing by at random, and Shen Yun asked in standard Arabic, "Hello, where is the nearest gas station?" ”
The resident of Dakhla, who was accustomed to dialects, was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, he showed his white teeth and grinned at Shen Yun: "You guys are in the wrong place, go back two streets, and then go in that direction, you will be able to see it soon." ”
In order to get more information, Shen Yun took out a packet of chewing gum from his pocket, chewed a piece himself, and then gave the rest to this person.
The small gift instantly made him smile, so when Shen Yun asked what to pay attention to when cheering, this person clutched the gum tightly and chattered:
"You foreigners are very expensive to refuel, but those guys' character is still guaranteed, and they won't be open to money. Of course, if you can give them something good, they'll be happy to give you some discounts. ”
In this regard, Shen Yun expressed his understanding that the government is already so powerless, and the control of the local government must be very weak.
Therefore, it is reasonable for the oil facilities guard to exploit some foreigners, after all, there is no extra money, who likes to stay in a place like a gas station, where a random shell can make people crush their bones in an instant.
Back in the car, Shen Yun followed the person's guidance and turned the car around.
Otherwise, the ordinary people here are very simple, although they are not paid, but the route they guide is not wrong at all. In less than seven or eight minutes, Shen Yun saw the shadow of the gas station.
Of course, facing this heavily guarded place, Shen Yun said that he was a little frightened.
At the four corners of the zenith of the gas station, there were four anti-aircraft machine guns, and of course, Shen Yun also noticed that there were two small openings in the middle of the fortifications made of sacks, and there were pitch-black barrels inside.
Needless to say, snipers.
Looking down again, dozens of big men with machine guns were looking at their vehicles with burning eyes, Shen Yun had no doubt that as long as he and Qiu Shaohan had the slightest movement, including the machine gun above, it would shoot a rain of bullets in an instant.
In this posture, Shen Yun swallowed and spat at the mouth, slowly opened the car window, and shouted at these people in Arabic: "We are Chinese, we came to play, the car is gone, we want to refuel." ”
Whoever stays there, they will be surprised when they hear Shen Yun's proficient Arabic.
These big men are obviously no exception.
After being stunned for a moment, after reacting, one of the big men nodded to the person next to him, and then the man came to Shen Yun's car window with a gun.
"Take out your ID and let us see."
That tone, there is no doubt.
