After arriving in Basra, Lim changed to a car and traveled along the "Baba Railway" from Baghdad to Basra, which was under construction. In fact, the construction of this railway began a long time ago, but after the war in Europe, the Persian Gulf could not get enough steel, and it was impossible to buy heavy industrial products such as locomotives, so the construction work was completely suspended.

After the end of the war, Lin Youde immediately ordered his company to start building the railway, so the progress of the railway project began to move forward quickly.

Lin Youde went all the way to inspect the progress of the railway, most of the tracks have been laid, and the platform has been almost built, but the supporting locomotive maintenance center and other departments are still catching up with the progress of the project, and some have only laid the foundation.

In addition, Lin Youde also visited various newly established farms. All the farms are built to a uniform standard, and the neat four-story buildings always remind Lin Youde of the army barracks he had seen in another time and space.

"A few years ago, we all lived in small bungalows converted from Arab houses." Li Yunlong explained, "At least before I returned to China, but now they are all small buildings like this, and they are being built quite quickly." ”

"Where did the cement come from?" Lin Youde couldn't help but ask, the demand for cement is very large for such a large number of multi-storey buildings.

"Before the war, Vale invested in a cement factory in Basra, and there was not much iron, coal, or anything here, but there was a lot of limestone, and the quality was quite high - I heard about it, and I don't know if it was true or not, Mr. Lin, anyway, the cement factory was finally completed before the war, and then there was cement to build these houses."

Lin Youde nodded, and said in his heart that when he visited the United States, he must have a drink with Lin Guokai.

At this time, Xiaolu pointed to the tree that looked like a coconut tree on the side of the road and asked, "Why doesn't that tree bear coconuts?" ”

"Then it's not a coconut tree." Lin Youde said and reached out and touched his daughter's head, "That's called Iraqi dates, also known as date palms, and the scientific name is sea dates." ”

Lin Youde's scientific name is in the form of Latin, Xiaolu's eyes widened, and she tried very hard to learn the string of syllables that Lin Youde had just sent, but in the end she gave up because the string of syllables was too long.

Lin Youde continued to explain to Xiaolu, and when Lin Youde said that the thing would only begin to mature in September, Xiaolu pursed his mouth: "Can't you eat it now?" ”

"When we wait for September," Li Yunlong looked back at Xiaolu, "Uncle will fill you with a big basket, so big, look, so big!" Just like that, I will send you to Germany with enough food for you. ”

"I want twenty baskets like this!" Xiaolu said, "If it's delicious, I can eat twenty baskets of this at a time!" ”

Li Yunlong laughed heartily, thinking that Xiaolu was talking and playing.

Xiaolu looked a little unable to wait for September, she stared at the date palm trees that kept passing by the roadside, and suddenly stretched out her claws to grab a tree that passed near the car, and broke off the tree along with a large puff of Iraqi date fruit on top - the fruit of Iraqi dates is as long as grapes, and when ripe, it may even break the branches because they are too heavy.

Xiaolu lifted one end of the broken branch with amazing strength, dragged the other end on the ground outside the car, and then broke an unripe fruit with her big paws and threw it into her mouth. Then her brow furrowed.

"It's not coarse."

"Of course it's not delicious if it's not ripe." Lin Youde sighed, and while asking Xiaolu to drop the tree, he instructed to subsidize the damaged orchard.

"What an anxious girl." Li Yunlong didn't care, but still jokingly, "But this simple temperament will be a refreshing girl in the future." If I hadn't had Xiuqin, I would have been waiting to chase her, even if I squeezed with the young boy! ”

"Senior Commander Li, didn't you just hear the masses say that Xiaolu won't be able to marry in the future?"

"Well, they don't have a vision. This big hand, at first glance, is a good hand at work, and this strength, how many ploughing cattle there are. ”

Lin Youde laughed.

"Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, my daughter is dignified, put on equipment that can destroy the entire army, and when you come to you, it will be compared to a ploughing cow, you, you, hahahahaha."

In Lin Youde's laughter, Li Yunlong scratched the back of his head: "That's right, hey, don't I just make an analogy." ”

"I know." Lin Youde stopped laughing.

At this time, Li Yunlong asked again: "There is a god in this Persia, when will Mr. Lin also send a god to us to station, otherwise I always feel a little unsure." ”

"Yes." Lin Youde said and sighed, "But now the international community is watching me more closely, and it's not easy to act." In the future, there will be a god queen in the Persian Gulf. ”

**

In this way, Lin Youde, accompanied by Li Yunlong, arrived in Baghdad by car.

Standing under the magnificent gates of Baghdad, Lin Youde had the urge to shout, "I'm coming." Of course, "Arabian Nights" is usually translated as "One Thousand and One Nights", but Lin Youde was more impressed by the former name, because when he was a child, the Hainan Fine Arts Publishing House version of Doraemon's large novel was called "Nobita and the Arabian Nights", and the later version was changed to "Nobita and the One Thousand and One Nights" or even "Nobita and the Arabian Nights".

After entering the city, the onion roof of the mosque gave Lin Youde the urge to parkour on it. Especially those towers that are necessary for mosques - the kind of towers that chant sutras every morning, Lin Youde always felt that there seemed to be an eagle parked on the tower, and after climbing up, he could open the interactive content on this map.

"Are there still people in these mosques?" Viola couldn't help but ask Li Yunlong.

"Yes, of course, there are, and there are more Chinese, but you know, everyone doesn't really believe it, just ask for peace of mind, as for whether it is Allah or the Buddha Old Master Jade Emperor, then no one cares." Li Yunlong waved his hand disapprovingly, "But the new religion can't eat pork, so most Chinese would rather go to the newly built small Buddha temple." It is said that the presiding officer of the onion temple also protested, saying that this is the land of Allah. At first, everyone persuaded them to leave, but then they couldn't stand it anymore, so they beat up the most violent people with sticks, and then many people who believed in this were afraid that we would do it, so they ran out of the city, and the rest were honest. ”

Li Yunlong said with a look of disdain: "In the past, which of your pork buns passed in front of their door while eating, and they all came to trouble you." I really don't know who rules this land now. Now, it's so much better. ”

Lin Youde smiled.

It seems that this Persian Gulf region will have a headache for him in the future. R1148
