Chapter 456 Chinese factory in Mogadishu

Mogadishu is located in the north-north of Northeast Africa in the British Indian Ocean seaport city, and is also the largest city and capital of Somalia.

The city is still one of the largest cities in Northeast Africa, with a population of more than 3 million and the largest port in Northeast Africa.

Since the outbreak of the war in Somalia, Mogadishu has become a centre of instability, with warlords fighting and anarchy.

However, the war did not cause the loss of the city's residents, because the millions of residents in it depend on the port and the city for their livelihood.

Fortunately, in the city, the war did not destroy too much of the original order of life, although the war made the city chaotic, but the basic order of the city was still maintained.

However, it is not so friendly for expatriates in the city, and countries have sounded the signal for an urgent evacuation of their expatriates.

The United States acted the fastest, closing the embassy in Somalia and evacuating its nationals as soon as possible.

Many countries in Europe are also rapidly evacuating their expatriates, and the city's economy will inevitably suffer a big blow as a result.

In the southern suburbs of Mogadishu, near the coast of the British Indian Ocean, more than 1,000 meters from Mogadishu airport, Chinese from all over Somalia gather here.

The engineering team that assisted in the infrastructure construction in Somalia blocked a large number of construction vehicles on the perimeter of the factory, and the tall fence was also connected with barbed wire with electricity.

Hundreds of Chinese and hundreds of local workers were stranded inside, unable to enter or leave.

Outside the factory, there were thousands of heavily armed tribal men, all dressed in cool vests and shorts, stepping on slippers, with bullets hanging on their bodies, weapons in their hands, some armed men, even children as young as eleven or twelve.

Facing the main entrance of the factory, more than a dozen armed pickup trucks, the muzzles of machine guns aimed at the gate, and in the distance there were several trucks and pickup trucks with rocket launchers behind their backs, which seemed to be ready for a strong attack.

Over the years, Mogadishu has entered Africa from the advantages of the port, the United Nations and a large number of international goods, which has made the economy of Mogadishu fully developed, and has also established multifaceted ties between many local tribes and the outside world.

With money and channels, arming is inevitable in such a region.

Somalia is the quintessential of all the countries in Africa, with its many tribes and factions, and the conflict never ends.

In the past, there was a fairly good government position with a balance of positions, but with the dispersion of government power and the imbalance of power, the power of the armed factions in the country eventually got out of control, leading to the outbreak of civil war and the division of warlords.

Many tribes are also desperately armed for their own safety, and almost everyone can go into battle with a gun, sometimes even women.

At the moment, the Chinese factory is surrounded by a tribe in Mogadishu, although it lives in the city, but many ideologies still maintain the tribal model.

Rushing to the top is the best embodiment.

At this moment, in the Chinese-funded factory, as the siege continues, a feeling of worry is spreading rapidly.

In a factory with thousands of Chinese and local workers, all the guns and weapons combined could only arm less than 100 people.

In the face of thousands of guns outside, it is difficult to resist with this bit of force alone.

Now the other party is concerned about the flag flying over the factory, but no one can guarantee that the other party will not attack in a frenzy.

After all, nothing is terrible for these tribes.

"Manager Wang, it will take at least twenty-four hours for the evacuation fleet to arrive, but I am very worried, the other party will not be able to help it, you must be ready to leave at any time."

"Captain Lin, it's impossible for me to leave my compatriots and employees behind, if I want to go, I'll all go together, I've never been a deserter, and I won't choose to leave everyone behind." Manager Wang said very firmly.

"But the helicopter in the factory can only carry four people." Captain Lin said a little anxiously.

"If the outside forces really come in, let the children in the factory leave by helicopter." Manager Wang said very simply.

Captain Lin heard this, saw the manager's determined appearance, nodded, and said, "Then I will arrange it, it is better than everyone dying." ”

"Captain Lin, you have to remember that our overseas companies represent the business card of our hometown, and anyone can be afraid of death, but we can't." Manager Wang said very seriously.

"Manager Wang, rest assured, I used to be a soldier, and I know my mission." Captain Lin nodded solemnly and clenched the assault rifle in his hand, but then sighed and said, "But the mood in the factory is very unstable, and everyone is scared. ”

"The safe house space is limited, so you ask everyone to overcome it and keep their compatriots as safe as possible if they don't have to." Manager Wang said.

"I do my best." Captain Lin nodded and left the manager's room.

Outside the window of the manager's room, you can see armed people in the distance outside the wall, one by one heavily armed tribesmen, who are too defiant from afar.

No one knows why these armed men are surrounding this place.

Maybe it's because of the industrial equipment inside, or because of the wealth of the factory.

Because Manager Wang knew that in his safe, there was a payment of up to $36 million, which was originally intended to be paid to a local company in Mogadishu.

But due to the outbreak of war, before the money could be paid, the order to evacuate was given.

Whatever the reason, Manager Wang hopes that all this can be properly resolved.

The secretary next to Manager Wang, after Captain Lin walked out, said, "Manager, why don't you ask for help from the US military base, don't they have a military base on the edge of Mogadishu?" ”

"We have already called for help, but this is now a war zone, and the US military base has said that US troops cannot enter the war zone without the permission of the United Nations, otherwise it will inevitably lead to further riots in Mogadishu." Manager Wang shook his head and said, "And around here, there are also peacekeepers of the 7th Armored Brigade of Pakistan, but they can't enter this theater of operations." ”

"Damn, why doesn't the UN let these troops into Mogadishu." The secretary said with some indignation.

"It's a UN charter, it's not that they don't want to help us." Manager Wang looked a little helpless and continued: "I hope that the country can fully consider our situation and make other arrangements." ”
