Mu Yang picked up the phone on the table: "Which one." ”

"Xiao Mu, I'm Guo Linyi."

"Vice Minister Guo, hello." Muyang hurriedly replied.

"There is an emergency that needs to be addressed by your Djibouti embassy." Vice Minister Guo said in a serious tone.

"Okay leader, you say." Mu Yang replied simply.

"There is a civil war in Yemen, Saudi Arabia bombs Yemen, China is preparing to evacuate all the Chinese and overseas Chinese in Yemen, and now the Yemeni embassy is making preparations, Chinese citizens near the west coast of Yemen will be evacuated to Djibouti, and the rest will be arranged by your Djibouti embassy." Vice Minister Guo said.

"I understand the leadership, and I will complete the task." Muyang said.

After hanging up the phone, Muyang immediately called the office, gathered the embassy staff, and held an emergency meeting.

The Republic of Yemen is located at the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, bordering Saudi Arabia and Oman, bordering the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea, and Djibouti across the sea, about 200 kilometers away.

Since the beginning of this year, the situation in Yemen has suddenly become tense, and people have demonstrated to demand that President Hadi Mohammad bin Hadi. Abdullah. Saleh's resignation, which refused to resign, ensued a conflict. Tens of thousands of Houthi militants stormed Yemen's capital, Aden, and violent clashes erupted.

Subsequently, Saudi Arabia and other countries launched air strikes against the Houthis in Yemen to support the beleaguered Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Hadi, including the Israeli Air Force.

It was in this context that China decided to evacuate its nationals in a comprehensive manner, realizing that the civil unrest in Yemen could threaten the safety of its citizens.

"Comrades, just now I told you about Vice Minister Guo's notice, and now, everyone has put down the work at hand and made every effort to ensure the smooth completion of the evacuation work, and I will now assign the work."

"Counselor Xin Weitong, you and some people are responsible for renting hotels in Djibouti, buying food and supporting logistics, so as to ensure that our citizens who come from Yemen can have a hot meal and a place to sleep as soon as they go ashore."

"Counselor Wang Lizhong, you should lead people to register all the people who have taken them, and do a good job of organizing them, so that no other situation can occur in Djibouti."

"Counselor Yu Juan, organize our medical aid team in Djibouti to provide timely treatment to our citizens who may be injured. At the same time, it is also necessary to do a good job in propaganda work, avoid impatience, and believe that the state will definitely send them home smoothly. ”

The three counselors have been assigned jobs, because there are not many staff in the Djibouti embassy, so each counselor can only be assigned three or four staff members, and it is not known how many people will be taken over, so the workload is impossible to estimate, but think about it, everyone can not be relaxed.

"Mobilize the personnel of the Chamber of Commerce in Djibouti, if you can, to help us evacuate overseas Chinese in the near future, after all, they know more about the situation in Djibouti than those who have just come over, and we can also increase some manpower, and Counselor Wang Lizhong will do this." Muyang Road.

"Okay," Counselor Wang Lizhong hurriedly arrived, he was an economic counselor, and he had the most dealings with those chambers of commerce, and he was most familiar with this aspect.

"I will contact the Djibouti government to report this matter to the Djibouti government to avoid other problems, and to get their help. In addition, military attache Yan Jialin and office director Zhang Jialiang took an attaché to Yemen with me to pick up people. ”

"Everyone keeps the phone open 24 hours a day, it's a tough battle, but I believe that the Djibouti embassy has this fighting ability, okay, now start busy with the things at hand, if there is a problem, call me at any time." Mu Yang finally said.

At this time, the escort fleet of the Chinese Navy in the Gulf of Aden also received a notice from the Domestic Military Commission to fully assist in the evacuation of Yemeni overseas Chinese.

At this time, the Daqing destroyer and the Taihu supply ship were carrying out escort missions at sea, and after receiving the order, they directly headed for the port of Hodeidah in Yemen from the waters of the Gulf of Aden.

The destroyer Qingdao, however, was in the port of Djibouti for replenishment and rest, and after receiving the order, it immediately canceled its leave, and all the officers and men of the navy gathered back to prepare for Yemen.

The Qingdao went to Djibouti for supplies, and Muyang also met with the captain of the Qingdao, Senior Colonel Xing Weitong, and the officers and men on the warship, which was not unfamiliar. Muyang and his party came to the dock and met Captain Xing Weitong, who was making final preparations.

After the two met, they shook hands, and Mu Yang said, "Captain Xing, the three of us will board the ship and go to Yemen with you to bring back the trapped compatriots." ”

"Okay, make the final preparations, and leave in about half an hour. Our escort squadron has received instructions from the military region to fully cooperate with your evacuation operations. Captain Xing said.

"With you here, we are at ease." Muyang was telling the truth.

"This is our shared obligation."

Inform the Djibouti port wharf, the warship departed from the port, headed for the port of Hodeidah, Yemen, the wind blowing the national flag on the sea, the Qingdao sailed at a speed of 24 knots, and it only took 5 hours to arrive in Yemen.

"Boom"

"Boom, boom"

Rumbling explosions could be heard in the distance, and each one was getting closer and closer, so frightened that people huddled in the hall of Hodeidah Harbor, and people could only pray without stopping.

The staff of the Yemeni embassy are urgently checking the personnel to find out the true identity of each Chinese citizen, so as to find out how many compatriots are still stranded in Yemen.

Zhou Ya hugged Sui Lin's waist tightly, buried her head in Sui Lin's chest, and her body trembled slightly, Zhou Ya grew so big, it was the first time she encountered such a thing, she was really frightened.

In fact, Sui Lin was also afraid, where had he ever encountered such a scene in China, the automatic rifles of tanks and armored vehicles were bombarded indiscriminately, the fighters in the sky kept dropping bombs, and the originally familiar city became devastated in an instant.

War, it's terrible.

Sui Lin and Zhou Ya are a young couple, both bank workers, who were sent to Yemen to work on the World Bank-financed infrastructure project.

Originally, they were still full of love for the beautiful country of Yemen, in Yemen, the Chinese were particularly favored, their friendship with the Chinese was beyond imagination, this is the credit of Mao Taizu, many people can speak a few words of Chinese, they see the Chinese, no matter the old or young, are willing to say hello warmly.

Sui Lin also knew that he couldn't go east of Aden, which was occupied by the rebels, but nothing major had happened in the past year, and he and his wife were working well here, and they even considered whether to have a child here in Yemen, and when the months were enough, they would return to China to give birth.

But at this time, civil strife suddenly broke out in Yemen. (To be continued.) )
