Chapter 748: Somalia Re-establishment 7

After two days of traveling, everyone was very tired, and the time difference between Somalia and China was 8 hours, so everyone rested after eating a little.

Here I have to complain about Somali food, barbecue, camel milk, onion meat crumbs, toast, fried noodles, etc., I don't know if it's the chef's reason, or the locals are doing this.

Moreover, people here do not use chopsticks or knives and forks to eat, but directly grasp them with their hands, but fortunately, everyone has prepared their own chopsticks before coming.

Fortunately, there are also some vegetables and fruits, tomatoes and watermelons, which are produced here, and everyone can barely eat enough. However, the hygiene here is really worrying, because when eating, flies are swarming, like bombers, they can't be bombed away, they are very stubborn, and they are not afraid of death.

Such days have just begun, and eating and drinking water are the first difficulties that everyone needs to overcome, and they can only be overcome slowly.

That night, Muyang went out for a trip and came back about half an hour later, which also made Zheng Yunliang, the deputy leader of the group, nervous for half an hour, because in Somalia, even the locals did not dare to go out after 5 o'clock, and the possibility of going out to be shot was very high.

As long as the peacekeepers, government soldiers, and rebels who drive pickup trucks around the streets see a living thing on the street, their first reaction is the enemy, because no one knows whether it is the enemy or not, so they will shoot directly and kill them first.

Mogadishu at night. Gunshots are often heard from time to time.

Seeing Mu Yang enter the house, Zheng Yunliang breathed a long sigh of relief, "Representative Mu." You're back, I'm really afraid something will happen to you, and I've been here since you left the door. After speaking, Zheng Yunliang pointed to his throat and eyes.

"It's really dangerous, if it's not necessary, our people will definitely not be able to go out at night in the future. But this time it's special, by the way, the car has already arrived. Now that we have the means to get around, whether people from the Somali government come to us or not, I am going to come directly tomorrow to meet with Somali Foreign Minister Belle. Muyang said.

"There is no need to report to the Somali government. Then ask the other party to arrange a meeting time. Zheng Yunliang asked. Muyang's approach is somewhat out of line with diplomatic rules.

"In Somalia, if everything goes according to the rules, we won't be able to move an inch, so sometimes we have to break the rules, and our task is to restore the normal operation of the embassy as soon as possible, and the rest, I think, can be ignored a little bit." Muyang Road.

Diplomatic etiquette. It needs to be paid attention to, but it also depends on who you are right for. If the other government doesn't do much at all, and you still follow the rules, then you may not be able to complete the work in half a year.

"Listen to you, team leader." Zheng Yunliang said.

The next morning, Mu Yang directly called Ensign Kedien, who received them yesterday, and Muyang specially left Ensign Kedien's phone number yesterday.

I have to say that despite the war in Somalia, there is still mobile phone signal and Internet here, which is really amazing. But how many people use it? The per capita ownership rate of mobile phones in Somalia is 1,000 to 1, while the Internet usage rate is about 10,000 to 1, that is, only 10,000 people in Somalia have mobile phones and only 1,000 people use Internet services out of a population of 9.1 million.

It would be an exaggeration to say that this number is less than a village in China, but it is definitely less than the amount used by an ordinary town in China.

"Second Lieutenant Dean, please do me a favor, we would like to see Foreign Minister Belle, and I hope you can take us there." Muyang said.

Zheng Yunliang and several members sat next to him and watched Muyang make a phone call, while Ding Xiaoxi and Lao Yuan were doing their jobs, faithfully recording every scene that happened in Somalia.

"Mr. diplomat, I said, that's not my job, my task has been completed, as for communicating with the government, you need to find government staff." But Dean simply refused.

"You know, we Chinese like to make friends the most, I brought 2 cases of red wine from my hometown, if you have time, please come and get it." Muyang Road.

Ke Dien on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Okay, maybe I can take you to the government, as for who I can meet, I don't know, those high-ranking officials in Somalia can't say whether they stay in Mogadishu or not." ”

Putting down the phone, Mu Yang looked at everyone's wide eyes and asked, "What's the matter, what kind of expressions do you have." ”

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Ding Xiaoxi put down the camera, coughed, and then said, "Chargé Mu, are you a public bribe?" ”

Muyang smiled, "Do you understand diplomatic etiquette, in fact, the reason for going abroad for diplomacy and visiting the door is not bad, you have to bring some gifts, you see the gift exhibition hall in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, there are many valuable things, and they are not given by others, we often give gifts to others, this is a kind of etiquette." ”

Ding Xiaoxi scratched his head and muttered, "I feel that what Chargé d'Affaires Mu said is right, but I feel that something is not right." ”

"It's okay, think about it slowly, but just pinch off this paragraph, after all, it affects the image of a diplomat who is tall and majestic, doesn't it." Muyang said.

After Muyang said this, everyone laughed.

What kind of diplomatic etiquette, Muyang is definitely bribing, just for the country.

Zheng Yunliang asked: "Team leader, where did you get the red wine, we didn't bring it." ”

"It's okay, I'll bring it, by the way, our car is right down there, let's pack up, wait for Kedean to come over, and go to the Somali government together." Muyang said, stood up and led everyone down.

In the backyard of this hotel, two armored vehicles were parked, and the members of the restoration team, four armed police soldiers, and two CCTV reporters, Ding Xiaoxi and Lao Yuan, were all happy when they saw the two armored vehicles.

Liao Kaiqiang, the captain of the guard, usually doesn't talk much, but after seeing the armored car, he still called out, "Stryker M1126 armored personnel carrier, Humvee M1114 field assault vehicle, charge d'affaires mu, where did you get it from, it's all good things." ”

"Borrowed from a friend, what, do you know a lot about these armored vehicles." Muyang asked.

"As soldiers, we naturally like to study these things." Liao Kaiqiang said.

"Will it work?"

"It should be about the same, although I haven't touched the old American things, but it should not be much different from domestic armored vehicles."

"Okay, you guys get in the car now and try it out, and these things will mainly be used by you in the future." Muyang Road.

"Okay." Liao Kaiqiang happily greeted the others, jumped into the armored car and began to study. (To be continued.) )
