Port of Karachi, Pakistan ...... It is the largest port in Pakistan and the country's industrial, commercial and cultural centre, while Karachi accounts for 40 percent of the country's industrial output.

In other words, almost half of Pakistan's industry is concentrated in Karachi, which is a good city.

But we didn't get a chance to see Pakistan's largest port, and certainly not the city of Karachi...... The reason is simple, we are still in the same container as when we came.

And...... This time, after we were hoisted off the boat, we were just put on the truck and carried away...... This is the good thing about containers, when they are placed on a cargo ship, they are like boxes, hanging off the cargo ship and putting them on the truck...... It becomes the rear compartment of a truck.

But we couldn't see it, but we could hear the strange sounds outside through the container...... There were the sounds of motorcycles, whistles, music, swearing, shouting...... Moreover, these cries were shouted in words that we did not understand, which made the soldiers all curiously put their ears to the containers and listened carefully to the sounds outside, and sometimes let out a few laughs...... But since I had been strict in the first place that they couldn't make a sound in the container, all they could do was gesture to each other or something.

These gestures are what we learn when we train...... The reason why I want to take this subject is because there is often a need for silent communication on the battlefield...... This is something that even a miniature radio can't do.

Micro radios...... There's a bug when there's an enemy nearby, so let's be louder...... The enemy is alarmed, so be quiet. Teammates couldn't hear clearly. Often, they mishear and misunderstand.

That's where gestures come in...... Even if the enemy is separated from us by a wall. Warriors can also communicate and collaborate with gestures.

It is not difficult to do this, just agree with the soldiers to make some easy-to-remember and figurative gestures and then promote them throughout the army, among which we have even introduced some sign language...... That is, the kind where deaf and mute people gesture to each other to communicate.

In this respect...... At this time, it is still possible to refine this silent communication of the warriors.

However, such exchanges soon stopped...... The main reason was that it was quiet outside, presumably the convoy had already left Karachi and hit the road.

"Battalion commander!" At this time, Zhao Jingping asked me in a low voice: "Where are we going?" ”

At this time, it doesn't matter much to whisper, one is because the container has a compartment effect, the other is that there are not many people around the car, and the car is fast, and the roar of the motor is also loud...... Outside, even if someone is outside, they can't hear anything.

So I pointed to a location on the map and said, "Here it is...... Peshawar! ”

Zhao Jingping looked at the map and couldn't help smacking his tongue: "It's so far...... It's going to take a few days to drive! ”

I smiled wryly and nodded...... That's what that means. We're going to have to stay in this container for a few days.

In a way...... I don't think we need to hide anymore when we get to Pakistan, and this is not Afghanistan...... Relations between China and Pakistan have always been very good, and it is not normal for a small army to appear in Pakistan for exchanges or something?

But Commander Zhang's opinion is different, he believes that this is a sensitive period, not to mention that Pakistan is a neighbor of Afghanistan, and the place we are going to Peshawar is also located on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border...... If a Soviet spy or someone discovers that a Chinese army is making its way from Karachi to Peshawar, it is easy for the Soviets to deduce that China is involved.

But now...... If we suddenly appear in Peshawar, we can use another identity, that is, a group of Chinese living in Pakistan. Volunteer to help Afghan refugees in Peshawar, Pakistan, or to be hired by Afghan guerrillas for money...... That is, mercenaries can also be.

It should be said that Commander Zhang's consideration was right...... That's often how things happen internationally. Although everyone knows what's going on, as long as there is a haode excuse, others can't do anything about you!

For example, the Soviet Union...... He invaded Afghanistan under the pretext that "the Prime Minister of Afghanistan invited the Soviet Union to send troops".

So...... Things between countries are sometimes so hypocritical, but this hypocrisy is essential, and sometimes it is still very necessary, for the sake of interests, in order to prevent the enemy country from grasping the handle.

But it hurts us...... All of us in the camp have to be sealed in this container...... This is much more bitter than when we were on the ship, when we were on the ship, we could come out at night to breathe, and during the day the container was also half-open and half-closed......

But now, the whole process has to be sealed to death, and only a few inconspicuous ventilation holes have been opened in the front...... This vent is still very useful, as soon as the speed of the car is fast, the wind will naturally pour in, so there is no need to worry about suffocating inside.

But......

Karachi is 2,000 kilometers away from Peshawar, and Pakistan's roads are pretty bad...... Most of the roads in Pakistan were built during the British colonial period, and they have been around for decades now, and there has not been much improvement except for tinkering...... Because the swaying along the way was a little unbearable, and there were several times on the road when the driver had to stop and pick up a bamboo pole to prop up the power line in the middle of the road......

Some of the wires on the highway are not high enough and are erected over the road...... If we trucks with containers thought about it, we had to hold them up.

It took us two days and three nights to reach our destination...... This is also the result of each truck being driven by two drivers alternately, that is, except for the time to eat and refuel, the convoy is running on the road 24 hours a day.

We only found out until the fact...... This is actually a haode, the reason is that we are Chinese, so the person in charge of Pakistan specially sent the most haode truck and the most haode driver to serve us, so that we can reach the destination at this time in two days and three nights...... There are also countries that provide aid, such as the United States......

The United States also sent military supplies to Pakistan, so a group of people followed these supplies into Afghanistan, of course, because of the large amount of armaments and secrecy, they were also not suitable for flying, but they tossed and turned on the road for five days and five nights...... One of the most important reasons for this is that the driver has to sleep! (To be continued......)
