"What a humble place!" Lin Mo washed his face in front of a drain faucet in the open air with a towel, looked at everything at the airport, and said that China is not as good as Lao Mei, but there are many people in places that are not as good as China.81zwbsp; Lin Mo did not know that the unemployment rate in Zambia was as high as 50 percent, and nearly 70 percent of the population was struggling below the poverty line, so that he could not even guarantee three meals a day.

Several black soldiers were also washing together, and when they saw Lin Mo, they showed their white teeth in a friendly manner, and gestured to say hello, Lin Mo also nodded and said, "Good morning!" He is relatively proficient in English, which is part of the knowledge left to him by the previous Lin Mo, and the result of strengthening it after he came to this world.

In Zambia, the official language is English, whether it is an engineer or an air force instructor, the Chinese are highly educated elites, there is no language barrier, so when they come, there is no interpreter, only a liaison officer is responsible for the work and local customs and habits.

"Good morning!" The black GIs also seem to have strengthened Chinese, and even replied to stiff Chinese.

Several people laughed at the same time, the strangeness was gone, the Chinese instructor was not the first time to come, these black soldiers were also good friends, while washing their faces and brushing their teeth, they said a few words, and Lin Mo quickly chatted happily with them.

These black soldiers are from the Tonga, Pemba and Lodz tribes, they are tall, muscular ones are called Tongge, they are slightly thinner, the ones with particularly thick lips are called Ganai, and the ones with particularly long legs are called Bofi, and his son also specially took a Chinese name, called Qin Na, and the white-skinned one is the pilot of the MiG-21, called Grafedo.

Lin Mo got up early, and it didn't take long for the other Air Force instructors, Major Huang De, Major Han Renguang, and Captain Zou Han, to get up.

After washing, Lin Mo was pulled to breakfast by the newly acquainted Tonggo and Ganai, the food at Lusaka Air Base was still good, Lin Mo received an officer's package under special treatment, typical Zambian food "Sima", glutinous dumplings made of white cornmeal, with some vegetables, potato curry and roasted turkey legs, meat and vegetarian, with reasonable matching.81zwbsp; In reality, many civilians in Zambia cannot afford to eat meat, and it is good to have meat to eat.

There were no chopsticks and knives in the restaurant, and many Zambian officers and soldiers only used their hands to eat, Lin Mo still felt quite unaccustomed, and his right hand was wiped on his left wrist, and there was an extra pair of chopsticks.

Seeing the stunned and sluggish black soldier on the edge of the dining table, Lin Mo waved his chopsticks: "Magic!" Got it? ”

"Awesome! Awesome!"

"Chinese magic?"

The black Zambian GIs, who thought it was really a little trick, gave a thumbs up at the same time. Copperfield must be looking straight at this, what kind of magic is this? Wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and changing chopsticks, where do you have to hide this prop?

"I hate chopsticks! Can't you just grab with your hands like they do? "The gold coin is full of complaints about turning himself into eating utensils.

"If your hands are unhygienic, I won't eat you, what's stingy!" Lin Mo smiled and pulled the breakfast, but unfortunately there was no gruel and fritters.

The gold coin has been very paralyzed by its own reduction to a universal tool, which is the price that Lin Mo paid for taking care of the electronic function cube module and the Mithril ingot dry food for it, and for this reason, Lin Mo's luggage increased by sixty kilograms in the air during this trip.

Based on the poverty and low living standards of African countries, the Chinese air force instructors and engineers brought a lot of supplies this time, in addition to a large amount of canned food, there are also ham, sauce meat, dried noodles, rice, dehydrated vegetables and tea - boiling - yo~

After breakfast, Lin Mo saw Major Huang De, Major Han Renguang and Captain Zou Han following the liaison officer Mwaya. Campeia came to the restaurant, of course, they also encountered the trouble of not having the tools to eat, and they could only use the spoons and forks that were turned out improvised to deal with the problem, and no one expected to prepare all the supplies, just chopsticks.

On the evening of the second day after arriving in Lusaka, the Chinese Embassy in Zambia specially prepared a dust-washing banquet, inviting Major Huang De and other air force instructors who had just arrived at Lusaka Air Base, as well as an arms procurement team that had arrived a week early.

There are quite a few Chinese in Zambia, and there are not a few shops and restaurants, which have become an important part of Zambia's economy, especially when Chinese military personnel arrived, Ambassador Li and military attache Wu Peng** of the embassy expressed a warm welcome to them.

The embassy's chefs are solid, and compared with the "Far East Hotel" and "Sichuan Hotel" that are widely opened by Chinese in the city, the original Chinese taste makes Lin Mo and Major Huang De feel like they are in China.

Ambassador Li welcomed everyone to the table, and said with a smile: "Come and come, the conditions were poor in the past few years, you can only follow the customs, only local specialty food can be eaten, and it is very tired to eat every day, now China's local vegetables and grain and other crops have moved into Zambia, there are Chinese's own farms, and eating here is almost no different from that in China, that is, there is less meat, but don't worry, today is enough." ”

The dinner was held in the auditorium of the Chinese Embassy in Lusaka, and six tables were set up, along with representatives of local Chinese entrepreneurs in addition to the embassy staff.

Ambassador Li first introduced Major Huang De and Lin Mo to the military attache of the embassy, Wu Peng, and the business celebrities in Lusaka, and then began to introduce everyone to the important objects of today's dust-washing reception.

"Come, let me introduce you to you, this is Major Huang, the leader of the instructor group who trained pilots for Zambia this time, this is Major Han Renguang, Captain Zou Han, and this, the youngest and most potential Lieutenant Lin Mo." Ambassador Li introduced the new members of the Chinese military training team to everyone present.

The people whose names were called all stood up and saluted the people who surrounded them, and they were greeted with a round of applause.

"This is Captain Luo Chao, the captain of the escort team! I remember being to Zambia once before, right? Ambassador Li recalled very well, and when he saw the escort captain, Captain Luo Chao, he immediately remembered his previous memories.

"Yes, Ambassador Li, in 08, I escorted a batch of individual anti-aircraft missiles with the old captain, I didn't expect Ambassador Li to remember me." Captain Luo Chao, the captain of the escort team, stood up and saluted, surprised by Ambassador Li's memory, and could still remember him after so many years.

"It's not easy for the soldiers of your escort team, you can't eat well, you can't drink well, you can't sleep well, and the pressure is great, it's really hard for you." Ambassador Li walked up to Captain Luo Chao and shook hands with Captain Luo Chao very solemnly.

"Thank you, ambassadors, these are our areas of responsibility!" Luo Chao was very excited and shook hands with Ambassador Li.

"Come on, come on, this is Director Ding, who will give you a front station, a week in advance, before and after running, and work with Zambia and Tanzania to map out the transport route, and also mobilize so many troops to protect you, otherwise there will be trouble along the way." Ambassador Lee seems to know a lot of inside information and knows a lot about the personal information of these people who have come to Zambia.

A middle-aged man in his forties wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood up from the main table and quietly bowed to greet everyone, and it could be seen that he was not a soldier.

"Thank you, Ambassador Li has praised me too much, it should be the result of everyone's joint efforts, and in the end, it still depends on the strong strength of our country as the background, otherwise how can I say that I am alone and the two countries are willing to help together." Director Ding is thin, but his eyes behind the lenses are extremely bright, and he quietly backs everyone's ass, which makes people feel very affinity.

"New comrades, here, I still have to remind you first, basically every Chinese who comes to Zambia, we will give him a special reminder, don't go to a remote place alone, don't go out casually at night, and, most importantly, don't touch blood, especially don't look for a miss!" Ambassador Li's words caused a burst of uncontrollable laughter, he was unimpressed, and continued: "According to official statistics, the AIDS infection rate in Zambia is 21%, 10 million, be careful, and other diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, diarrhea and cholera, are all common diseases, the sanitary conditions here are very poor, statistics in the past two years, the average life expectancy of the local people is only 37 years old, you must be careful not to eat indiscriminately, pay attention to personal hygiene, the body is the capital of the first place, far away, you must take care of your body." ”

Ambassador Li's words caused a wave of surprise among people who came to Zambia for the first time, and they couldn't help but exclaim, Zambia is not as good as they imagined, although they knew before coming to Africa that there are many snakes, insects, beasts and diseases, but they did not expect it to be so powerful.

AIDS!? Lin Mo felt chills for the first time, this disease was simply rejected by the whole society, if it was put in another world, it would be a big killer for the nobles, and the nobles who lived chaotically with their sexuality, I am afraid that it would not be long before the nobles would be wiped out from the society of the empire.

"Okay, if you keep talking, everyone will think that my Lao Li is talking too much nonsense, and don't let everyone eat, come on! Let's raise a glass together!" Ambassador Li's words were a bit funny, and they caused a lot of laughter.

I heard everyone raise their glasses together and shout in unison, "Cheers!"

The loud clinking of glasses resounded throughout the small auditorium, and everyone officially launched an attack on the table full of exquisite dishes.

It was only at 10 o'clock in the evening that Major Huang De and Lin Mo and his entourage, escorted by Captain Luo Chao, returned to the air base in a troop transport bus from Lusaka Air Base.
