Chapter 850: Yemeni Evacuation 4
At this moment, the form is becoming more and more urgent, people's hearts are raised, Mu Yang saw this situation, and hurriedly urged: "Everyone speed up, we have to board the ship and leave the port as soon as possible." ”
Fortunately, at this time, the boarding of the ship was nearing the end, and the people were faster.
At this time, the ship's guard post reported that 3 kilometers to the right, signs of a violent exchange of fire were found, and it was suspected that it was a temporary battlefield.
Because of the proximity to the port, people's hearts are in their throats.
"When, dang, dang, dang, dang." A series of heavy machine-gun bullets strafed onto the crane racks in the harbor, causing a series of bean popping sounds, and they were only twenty or thirty meters away from the ship and the crowd.
People screamed in fright, and some people fled in terror.
Captain Zhang Rong was not ambiguous, and immediately ordered the soldiers to personally escort the personnel on the dock who had not yet had time to board the ship. He also ordered to board the ship as fast as possible, and the ship was immediately ready to sail. Leave the dock quickly while ensuring the safety of the expat.
Finally, everyone boarded the two warships, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the only dozen Yemeni embassy personnel left on the dock, Muyang stepped forward and asked, "Ambassador Tian, are you going to Djibouti with us?" ”
"Not yet, although we have evacuated most of our citizens, but according to our statistics, there are still more than a dozen people whose whereabouts are still unknown and cannot be contacted, and we must send people in again to check on them and make sure they are safe before leaving. Besides, there are still some things to be done at the embassy, so let's go first. Ambassador Tian said.
"Now that Yemen is in danger, how can we ensure the safety of embassy staff?" Mu Yang asked worriedly.
"No matter what happens to both of them, they have little to do with China, they will not target China, as long as it is not accidental injury, our security is still guaranteed." Ambassador Tian said with a smile.
In fact, Ambassador Tian only said half of what he said, indeed, the Yemeni government army will not do anything to the Chinese, and will protect them, but those anti-government forces may not, usually they are in the area of North Yemen that they actually control, and they will blackmail foreigners if they catch them, but they are not good people.
Besides, on the battlefield, the most feared thing is accidental injury, the bullet has no eyes, who can guarantee safety. But where the embassy is responsible.
Muyang held Ambassador Tian's hand and shook it vigorously.
The battleship left the port, because the workers on the dock had already run away at this time, and there were no port support personnel. The ship would have needed the assistance of a tugboat to leave the dock, but at this time, it had to untie the cable and force it out of the port.
Leaving the port of Hodeidah, everyone's hearts relaxed, and people felt tired and hungry at this moment.
Although Djibouti is not far from Yemen, the whole voyage takes 5 or 6 hours, and the food is prepared for everyone on the battleship, and people are sighing infinitely as they eat the prepared meals.
When I finally arrived at the port of Djibouti, people from the Djibouti embassy came to greet them, and there were many more people who were responsible for assisting, and it was the representatives of the Djibouti Chamber of Commerce who put down their business and came to help.
Counselor Xin Weitong saw Mu Yang and stepped forward to shake hands with Mu Yang: "Ambassador, it's hard work, I heard that the bombs over there have hit the battleship, it's really dangerous." ”
"It's nothing, the comrades of the Yemeni embassy are in danger, and they can't be evacuated yet, by the way, what is the situation at home." Muyang Road.
"I was about to tell you, because there are too many people, Djibouti is not big, there are few hotels, although the first batch has been settled, but we have rented all the hotels that can be rented, and the second group of people really can't be settled, what do you think should be done." Counselor Xin Weitong said.
The first batch of 217 people, the second batch of 422 people, a total of 639 Chinese citizens. There are 13 compatriots in Taiwan. A total of 78 Pakistani citizens and 619 people from other countries were rescued.
Muyang also understands the situation in Djibouti, although he is the capital of a country, it is only a small city with a population of more than 300,000, not even a third-tier city in China, and it is not developed.
Looking at the people stranded at the dock and at the helpless subordinates, Muyang thought for a while, took out the phone, and called Odova.
"Minister Odowa, I am the Chinese ambassador Mu Yang, there is something I would like to ask you for help with, the civil strife in Yemen, the evacuation of our citizens from Yemen to Djibouti, and now we have run out of hotels that can be found, and we need your help now." There are outsiders here, and Muyang behaves very formally.
"Sir, if you have any orders, I will do my best." Odova said.
"Now that there are no vacant hotels in Djibouti, see if you can rent us a venue so that people can have a place to rest, and please help purchase some blankets, futons, and some food, there are indeed a lot of people coming this time." Muyang said.
Counselor Xin Weitong looked at Mu Yang and said in his heart, Ambassador Mu is close enough to the presidential candidate with the highest voice now, and opening his mouth is so many requests, is it a bit excessive.
"Okay, I'll send someone to arrange it now, how about you look at the Djibouti basketball stadium, it's fully enclosed, and there is air conditioning, and I'll ask people to purchase materials, and I will arrange it for you." Odova said.
"Then thank you, Minister Odova." Muyang hung up the phone.
That's it, Counselor Xin Weitong looked at Muyang in disbelief, this is too easy to speak.
"Now organize people, pull everyone to the Djibouti basketball stadium, settle there first, and explain to the people that in two days at most, the state will arrange a ship to send them back safely." Muyang said.
"Hey, okay, I'll arrange it." Counselor Xin Weitong replied briskly.
"By the way, weren't there two injured people among the people sent over yesterday, and what happened first." Muyang asked.
"The operation has been performed, it was done by our assistance doctor, the one who injured his head, but he fell more severely and had a concussion, and he would be fine for a period of time. The other person had a leg injury, a fracture, and had undergone surgery and was not a big problem. Counselor Xin Weitong said.
"It's okay, let's organize people to start moving now, and stabilize people as soon as possible." Mu Yang commanded.
The embassy has rented several buses and started transporting people to the stadium one by one, and as for people from other countries, they are naturally handed over to the embassies of other countries to deal with, and the Chinese side has brought them to Djibouti, and they are already grateful.
Muyang met with the ambassadors of several countries in Djibouti, and all of them sent their most sincere thanks. I hope to strengthen exchanges and friendship in the future.
After being busy for a while, Muyang followed the last car of people to the basketball hall together, but when he got here, Odova gave him a surprise. (To be continued.) )
