Chapter 22: Evacuate the warship and stand up!
Looking at Leng Feng, who was resting with his godson, Qiao Guoqiang took out the phone and called Rachel.
This is the embassy area, and the usual signal is more than a hundred times better than on the grassland.
Although the war broke out, it was still not long ago, and the communication was relatively stable.
The call was answered quickly.
"Hey, Joe!" Rachel asked into the phone, "Are you coming over?!" Why are you so noisy there? I heard an explosion..."
"Hey, Rachel!" Qiao Guoqiang stepped aside, looked at the armed police on duty outside, and said into the phone, "The war has broken out!" β
"What?" Rachel walked to the hospital door and looked at the government troops standing guard outside, "War has broken out?" β
"Yes, the entire St. Foran has been beaten into a pot of porridge, and the Red Turban Army doesn't know how to infiltrate it, and now it is estimated that the Prime Minister's Office has been served!"
"How are you? Are there any injuries!? Rachel asked hurriedly.
"I'm fine, I'm at the embassy now!" Qiao Guoqiang interrupted him and said, "Listen to me now, I have something for you to do, which is related to the safety of you and your colleagues!" β
"Okay, you say?!"
"The embassy is trapped, and I can't leave for the time being," Qiao Guoqiang said, "Our ambassador is negotiating with both sides of the firefight, maybe he can evacuate with everyone tomorrow." I'll go to you and Dr. Chan at that time! β
"I wanted to go to you last night, but the bridge to that side was destroyed, and we had to go back to Saint-Fran!"
Then, Qiao Guoqiang continued into the phone:
"The Red Turbans are likely to come to you now, and they are even on their way to you. After all, catching Dr. Chen is equivalent to taking control of the country! β
"If they go before me, don't provoke them, and be sure to keep yourself safe. I'll get over in the shortest possible time! β
"Okay, I got it!" Rachel heard Qiao Guoqiang say this, and her originally anxious mood stabilized.
After so many years in the Black Continent, it is no stranger to the war chaos.
"Remember, don't provoke them!" Qiao Guoqiang warned, "If you live, there is hope!" β
"I will, I'll wait for you to pick me up!"
After ending the call with Rachel, Qiao Guoqiang called Zhuo Yifan again.
"The Red Turban Army has already hit St. Fran, and I don't know how big the trouble will be this time, and it may affect the factory." Qiao Guoqiang said.
"Isn't it?" Zhuo Yifan wailed, "That's not, our factory and training camp can't be opened!?" β
"And Brother Qiang, the guns and bazookas you helped me find, these can't be played!"
"Those things have a chance to play!" Qiao Guoqiang urged: "You first let Lao He make the fortifications according to our previous plan!" Those directional mines, heavy machine guns, anti-tank cones, lookout posts were all arranged. β
"And those remote-controlled bombs I set up for you, you can put the fuse on." "I estimate that you won't be able to catch up with the evacuation of overseas Chinese this time, and Leng Feng and I will go to you tomorrow after sending the compatriots here on the ship!"
"You're coming?!" Zhuo Yifan was originally a little worried because he couldn't catch up with the evacuation of overseas Chinese, but when he heard that Qiao Guoqiang and Leng Feng were going over, his worries were all gone. With this strong man, what is he afraid of!
"yes!" Qiao Guoqiang said: "Our employment contract will not expire until five months!" What's more, I am now not only your employee, but also a diplomat, how can I leave my compatriots alone? β
"Explain your business, hurry up and do it!"
"Okay, okay, I'll do it right away!" Zhuo Yifan, who hung up the phone, hurriedly ran out to find Lao He.
Thinking of his two training grounds in the valley and the factory, as well as the arms that Qiao Guoqiang helped him get, they might not be his. Zhuo Yifan's heart is dripping blood, and he can't take these away.
As soon as the rebellion broke out, after returning to China, he had to go on a blind date with the daughter of a wealthy man or official according to his family's arrangement.
He wants to find another country to build such a factory that can hunt and play with guns and make money without delay, and it is estimated that it is very hanging. It's impossible for Dad and the shareholders of the company to agree to him taking this risk again!
In the waters of the southern Indian Ocean, the Celestial Empire fleet, which was escorting the ship, received an order to evacuate overseas Chinese. The two destroyers and a 40,000-ton supply ship immediately turned their rudder and adjusted their course and headed for the port of Santa Mata Saba.
During the day, people kept entering the embassy from the city. They were all expatriates of the Celestial Empire, and some were their local wives or husbands.
As the number of evacuees increased, the courtyard, which had been spacious and empty, became a little tense. Thanks to Ambassador Fan's efforts, the two sides of the exchange of fire achieved a ceasefire in the early hours of the morning, with the aim of allowing foreigners to leave safely.
The embassy did everything it could to find a few buses to evacuate the overseas Chinese.
One by one, the compatriots of the Celestial Empire and their local families got into the car under the arrangement of the staff.
Lieutenant Colonel Duan also issued a new task to Qiao Guoqiang to escort overseas Chinese to the port.
Qiao Guoqiang happily accepted the order, and together with Leng Feng, he set off again with hundreds of overseas Chinese.
"Whoa..." The iron doors of the embassy were pushed open, and a government jeep was in the head, followed by an embassy sedan with a flag in the background, followed by a jeep, followed by five buses full of passengers.
In the passenger seat of the jeep, Ambassador Fan was still on the phone to communicate with people.
Suddenly it rained in the dark night...
Through the car window, the tragic scene came into everyone's eyes one after another. The once bustling streets were in ruins, littered with dead innocents, and some were crying as they hugged their dead loved ones.
The social order in Ukanda has been destroyed.
The civilians of Ukanda, whose families are ruined and survived, have long since lost the concept of the rule of law, destroying everything that can be destroyed, just to find hope for tomorrow's life.
The convoy passed by a supermarket, and Qiao Guoqiang saw several with axes smashing something, and his companions moved boxes of goods out of the supermarket.
I don't know if this is to take the opportunity to get a vote, or to grab living supplies in order to survive.
On the way to the entrance of the supermarket, a black man in a red T-shirt loaded his dead wife into a trolley to transport it to be buried.
Because of the persecution of the road by the war, the convoy could not drive at full speed, and had to take a detour for safety. Therefore, until dawn, the convoy had not yet arrived at the evacuation port.
Ten nautical miles outside the port of Santa Matassava, a warship flying the Stars and Stripes departed in the opposite direction to the African continent. Behind it, there are warships of other countries.
When the warships of countless countries left the port, three warships flying the red five-star flag went upstream, sailing at full speed towards the port.
The convoy also sailed to the port, only to see that the navy's warships were already docked in the port, waiting for the evacuated overseas Chinese to upload it.
Marines and fighters blocked the docks and stood by to escort the evacuees.
Leng Feng, Tudou, and Qian Bida were in the queue waiting to board the ship, just like everyone else.
"Hey, where are you?" The non-commissioned officer who was responsible for taking care of everyone on the boat looked at the potatoes and said to Leng Feng, "This can't be on."
Yes! β
"My son!" Leng Feng patted the potatoes and said.
"Oh! We have tickets! Qian Bida handed the ticket to the non-commissioned officer, "79, 80, 81,!" β
The non-commissioned officer checked, "Okay, 79, 80, 81, get on board!" β
On the railing on the port side of the supply ship "XX Lake", Qian Bida looked at the smoke of gunpowder in the distance and the floating corpses in the sea, and said with a face of vicissitudes: "Twelve years of lying on the bed and tasting courage." β
"Once the war is chaotic, it's all gone!"
"People live," Leng Feng patted the railing and said to Qian Bida, "Better than anything else!" You know now, what are these countries?! β
"Hey~" Qian Bida shook his head, not knowing what to say.
Under the bridge, a world map was pasted on the wall, and red arrows indicated the route of the fleet, and the final point of the arrows pointed to a city "Yangcheng"!
βChina?β
Potatoes, who saw the map, suddenly ran from the bridge to the gangway.
"Hey, potatoes!" Leng Feng hurriedly chased after his godson, and Zheng Wei and Lao Qian also hurriedly followed.
At the gangway, the non-commissioned officer was telling everyone, "Everyone take their tickets, you can't get on the boat when you get off the boat." Suddenly several people from him
rushed down the gangway and was stopped by the special forces on duty outside
"What for?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Leng Feng hurriedly grabbed his godson.
"Godfather, I don't want to go to the Celestial Empire, I want my mother!" "I'm going to be with my mom."
"Okay, believe in godfather, believe in godfather!" Leng Feng promised, "I'll bring your mother!" β
A few meters away, the Van ambassador and the rear admiral commander of the fleet were arguing fiercely, "There are still 47 employees of the Celestial Empire in the Chinese-funded factory in Sankuga Town, and what is even more terrifying is that there is our medical team in St. Foran's Hospital, 55 kilometers away from them. The leader, Dr. Chan, is the number one target for terrorists. β
"There has been a total blockade from Lochino to St. Foran, and our fighters are forbidden to enter the war zone without the permission of the United Nations!" The major general's face was full of reluctance, and he didn't know whether he was embarrassed or shirked responsibility.
Qiao Guoqiang watched them quarrel on the side, and when he first watched the movie, he was very uninterested in this captain, and he talked about the United Nations at every turn. It seems that he is more like the captain of the "United Nations" than a soldier of the Celestial Empire!
"The stakes are very high in this evacuation operation!" Pointing to the ground, Ambassador Van said, "We must ensure the safe evacuation of every compatriot and Dr. Chen." β
"Under the current circumstances, combatants are prohibited from entering the combat zone." The major general said, "But we must resolutely complete the evacuation of overseas Chinese, and we must let one person complete the task alone!" β
"Grass!" Qiao Guoqiang scolded: "Is this looking for cannon fodder or a backstabber?" β
"I'll go!" Qiao Guoqiang said.
"Who?" A navy soldier in a black combat uniform stopped Qiao Guoqiang.
"From the Military AttachΓ© of the Embassy." Qiao Guoqiang walked up to Ambassador Fan, "Protecting Dr. Chen is my duty in itself, I'll go!" β
"I'll go too!" Leng Feng looked at Qiao Guoqiang and shouted
"Who are you?" Rear Admiral asked.
"Former Wolf Warrior Squadron of the Special Operations Brigade of the Southeast China Military Region, Leng Feng!" A standard military salute, Leng Feng said loudly.
"He's my comrade-in-arms!" Qiao Guoqiang said: "The child's mother works in that steel plant, and my cover identity is an employee of the steel plant. Qiao Guoqiang said, "Two people together, grasp more!" β
"Good!" Ambassador Fan and the naval commander agreed.
The people from the embassy found a Jeep made in the United States at the pier, which was big enough and solid enough.
Suddenly, the battle alarm sounded again. Leng Fenghe put his hand on his waist and wanted to pull out the gun, but he felt empty, he had already handed the gun to the armed police of the embassy before.
"Comrade Qiao Guoqiang, Comrade Leng Feng." "I have just received news that the fighting has spread to the port of Sansarem, where the lives of the 1,536 Chinese compatriots waiting for rescue are in danger, and the fleet must go immediately. β
"I'm sorry"... Ambassador Fan's face was very ugly, and his heart was full of tormented explanations: "Because it is a war zone of other countries, you have no allies, no support, and even no weapons in this operation!" β
"Stop!" Qiao Guoqiang interrupted and said, "Leader, I can get a weapon, can you reimburse me?" β
Ambassador Fan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly nodded and said, "Of course!" As long as we can save our compatriots, it doesn't matter how much money you spend on weapons! β
"Not so much, that's one or two thousand dollars!" Qiao Guoqiang said
"Okay, no problem! Or now? The ambassador agreed, "What else is needed?" β
Qiao Guoqiang said, "Find a soldier in the navy and help me get two sapper shovels!" And two kettles and some to eat! β
"Good!" Ambassador Van quickly led his men to put two sapper shovels into the cart and prepared some food and water.
"Is there anything else I need to do?" Ambassador Van asked.
"It's gone!" Qiao Guoqiang said, "If we don't come back..."
"You must come back!" Ambassador Fan said, "This is an order! β
