0732 Wizard
When you get off the plane.
Armed men in gray uniforms stood in a line under the plane. Fu Hao could see the Kashnikov semi-automatic submachine gun that these people were carrying behind their backs.
You can see advertisements for a mobile company called Roshan at the airport. The ubiquity of advertising is lamented, and this mobile company is currently the largest mobile company in Afghanistan.
Judging from the text above, this year happens to be the 8th anniversary of its operation, and it also reads, "Connecting the world and giving hope and light to the Afghan people, we have just begun!" ”
I don't know if this will really bring hope to the Afghan people, but Fu Hao never thought that mobile phones in Afghanistan would be so popular.
In fact, this is true of many things. Where you think you are backward, you may not really be much behind. It's like you think that otaku in the mountains don't know **** women.
For example, in countries like Somalia and Afghanistan, people actually have access to mobile phones and the Internet, but most of them are not as advanced as developed countries. But most of the things you have, people definitely have them. The island actresses you like may be the same as you.
Outside the airport is the dusty desert of Afghan land,
The person who came to pick up Fu Hao was a young man with a long beard. Because he has a long beard, he can't tell what age he is.
In Qiao Jia's words, this is a person invited by the Qiao family's local forces. This is because the current forces in Afghanistan are too complicated and easy to arouse the vigilance of various forces, including US imperialism. So, the person who invited him was just an ordinary person who had nothing to do with it.
Fu Hao followed the man out, and the car he took was an old Lada taxi made in the Soviet Union in the 60s.
In fact, all the taxis here are former Soviet-made cars, the cars are all yellow, there are no meters, and the price is negotiable.
The driver said that the car has been scrapped for 5 years, but the seats in the car are carefully wrapped in blankets by the owner, a ****** style, very dirty, and it is estimated that it is never washed.
After entering the city, I found that there were no traffic lights here, and the car was driven casually.
Outside the car window, there was dust everywhere, and some people wrapped their heads in bandanas to avoid inhaling more dust.
The country is a highland and mountainous country, and the winters in the mountains are long, which can be described as 'harsh'. The poor cannot afford to provide heating. Going up the mountain to cut down trees and burning fires for the winter has become the choice of most people. So in the decades, forests have been severely degraded, and urban sand and dust have exploded. Afghanistan's forests are disappearing at a rate of 150,000 cubic metres per year. At present, the greening rate is less than 0.5 percent, which is very serious.
In a sense, everything here is also the best demonstration site for the consequences of human indiscriminate deforestation and indiscriminate deforestation.
The bearded young man was actually very talkative. Fu Hao chatted with him a few words when he was bored, and he said amazingly, "It won't be long before the Taliban will definitely reoccupy Kabul." The Americans are killing their brothers en masse, I understand these people, they will take revenge, the war is not over. His words somewhat surprised Fu Hao. Even if Fu Hao doesn't like the Yankees very much, he definitely doesn't think that the Afghans will like the Taliban. In Afghanistan when the Taliban was in power, as Fu Hao knew, not only women could not show their flesh (the real one could not show their flesh), but even the length of men's beards was required. If it does not meet the standard, it will be executed as a whip. There are even people who want them to come back to power. I can't help but say that it made Fu Hao very eye-opening.
Usually, I only see on TV how many Taliban have been killed by coalition forces today or yesterday in Kandahar or in southern Afghanistan, but how many people know about such extreme ****** fundamentalism in this multi-ethnic ****** state?
Under the boots of American GIs, the democratic reconstruction of Afghanistan seems to be proceeding in an orderly manner; Under the powerful blows of the US military, Saddam Hussein, the former dictator in the Middle East, has stepped out of the stage of history, and it seems that the first democratic country in the Middle East will also emerge in Iraq's homeland under the leadership of the United States.
The problem is that everything the United States does is more like wishful thinking. Forcibly destroying other people's original things, and forcibly asking others to use his things.
You don't know what people in a place think. It's like a woman being robbed by several different robbers. Whether she really likes who she likes and who she wants to live with, no one knows.
Or maybe she wants to eat and sleep, and it is not impossible for her to think this is good during the day and that good at night......
Of course, this is actually not Fu Hao's business at all. He's just a passer-by here.
Fu Hao is going to the mountain forests of Afghanistan.
The most direct way to get there is actually through the Wakhan Corridor in China. But what Qiao Jia suggested was to enter from Afghanistan itself.
Because it's more complicated here, it's actually easier to get mixed in with a lot of people.
In the Wakhan Corridor, there are fewer people for a long time, and it is really abrupt for a few people to emerge. On the other hand, the Qiao family did not have much power there. Besides, it is clearly the most convenient place to enter Kashmir.
If the other party really wanted to catch Fu Hao, he would definitely be prepared there.
In contrast, the forests of northern Afghanistan are much simpler. It wasn't originally a major area of war, and it's the most likely place for tourists. That's the best disguise.
At those permanent checkpoints on the road, drivers are questioned. Fu Hao couldn't understand what they were saying.
But you can feel that the bearded driver is quite good at coping with the situation. He has some kind of license. So they will soon be released.
Seven hours later.
The bearded young man had sent Fu Hao to a small city called Makereve, near the northern forests.
Forests and mountains are already visible in the distance.
The difference here is that the wind and sand are not as big as before. The wind and sand before were like having a big pot of roadside dust in front of you and blowing at you with a huge electric hair dryer.
The rest of the road Fu Hao has to go by himself. This is also what Qiao Jia said before, because of this place, people are not willing to enter that terrible forest. So after arriving here, Fu Hao had to do it himself.
In fact, the area of green space in Afghanistan has been decreasing every year for the last decade. When the country's economy fails, the people of the whole country are eating what the natural environment gives them. Now I'm afraid it's been gnawed to the end. And this small town called Makereve is an odd example. People here don't seem to cut down the trees in the forest.
Fu Hao bought some food and sprinkled it at a hotel in a small city. And by the way, I told the proprietress that I wanted to hire a guide.
Because of the language barrier, after all kinds of comparisons. The proprietress understood, apparently the people here like to work as guides to earn extra money. She was very happy about this, and at the same time proudly introduced her son, a boy who was only fourteen years old, to Fu Hao.
