129. A veteran driver in the barracks
(Gray often thanks to "the tractor is also a car" to reward again, the old brother gets up in the early hours of the morning every day, you must pay attention to your body)
The convoy was slow when it left the camp, but as soon as it got out of the camp and onto the asphalt road outside, the whole convoy basically moved at a speed of more than 60 miles.
These peacekeepers are also veteran drivers, and their driving skills are not to be said, and the speed and distance of the entire convoy are maintained very well, as if they are all in one.
Yang Tianlong and Chen Liyan sat on the top of the warrior car, Chen Liyan also served as the driver in addition to the team leader, the other two were members of the special combat team, one sat in the co-pilot seat, and the other young soldier sat in the back seat with Yang Tianlong.
The rear compartment of the warrior car is very large and wide, and in addition to the ammunition in the open yard, there is also a lot of food.
According to the concept, today's driving distance is 800 kilometers, and according to the distance of 60 kilometers per hour, it will take about 13 hours.
The journey was smooth, but as we progressed deeper into the heart of the Congo, the road became difficult to walk, and by 10 p.m. the convoy had only covered 600 kilometres when it stopped.
However, Chen Liyan made Yang Tianlong very admirable, this guy drove directly from morning to night alone, and after arriving at the temporary camp, he saw him jump down from the driver's cab with a look of energy, commanding everyone.
Mobile phone reception is poor, and the headquarters can only be contacted by satellite phone. Seeing that there was no signal on his mobile phone, Yang Tianlong couldn't help but feel a little anxious, he knew that in Ethiopia, thousands of miles away, Elena was waiting for him to report his safety.
After wandering around the temporary camp for a while, he still didn't find a signal, and in desperation, Yang Tianlong had to put away his mobile phone.
In order to minimize the length of the convoy, Chen Liyan gathered all the eleven vehicles together, and these vehicles formed a huge circle.
In the middle of the circle are several military tents, not only in the military tents, but also in some of the cabs.
With two soldiers in each shift, two hours per post, Chen Liyan made arrangements in an orderly manner.
Due to limited conditions, everyone's dinner was quick-hot rice.
With the addition of water, the self-heating bag inside quickly generates a lot of heat, and in a short time, a fragrant dinner is ready.
Yang Tianlong took out a bottle of old godmother in the surprise of everyone at the right time......
The discipline of the peacekeeping forces is quite strict, and when they eat, everyone does not say a word, but only cares about burying their heads in eating, and after eating, all the drivers do not immediately rest, but begin to maintain the transport vehicles......
This maintenance was busy until about twelve o'clock in the evening, and everyone fell asleep.
The next day was another rainy day, and the rainy season in the Congo is like this, sometimes big and sometimes small, it is difficult to figure it out.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the convoy set off on time, and it was not until twelve o'clock in the afternoon, when the troops were preparing to resupply fuel at a gas station, that there was a faint signal on the mobile phone.
Seeing the signal coming from the mobile phone, Yang Tianlong quickly took out his mobile phone, text messages, WeChat, and Elena sent him a lot, and it can be seen from the content sent by Elena that she was very worried about Yang Tianlong's safety.
Seeing this, Yang Tianlong hurriedly called the phone.
Unfortunately, Elena's phone is turned off.
The phone couldn't get through, so Yang Tianlong had to send a large text message.
Just after the text message was compiled, a large group of African children suddenly came out of nowhere, and they were screaming at the peacekeepers.
It turns out that these little boys are here to eat.
This is not the first time such a thing has happened, the officers and soldiers have been prepared, they took out a lot of candy and biscuits from the car and quickly distributed them to these children.
The children who got the snacks quickly dispersed.
In such a dangerous place as the petrol station, safety vigilance is naturally also the focus, and the officers and men did not dare to be sloppy at all, and watched the pedestrians around them with a vigilant face.
Chen Liyan looked very laid-back, this guy was sitting on the front of the warrior's car, wearing cool sunglasses and looking up at the market town not far away.
Seeing Yang Tianlong coming, he threw him a bottle of mineral water with a smile on his face.
Chen Liyan smiled and said, "Isn't it uncomfortable to have no signal?"
Yang Tianlong nodded, "That's right, I just sent a big text message to my girlfriend." ”
"Haha......" Chen Liyan couldn't help laughing, "Another good man." ”
"Where. Yang Tianlong smiled a little embarrassedly, "Brother Chen, your child should go to kindergarten, right?"
Chen Liyan shook his head, "I'm not married yet, no, to be precise, I'm actually still single." ”
"Huh?" Yang Tianlong looked surprised, to be honest, he didn't expect Chen Liyan to be single at all, you must know that this guy looks like a very good man.
"I didn't expect that. Chen Liyan couldn't help but smile slightly, "I broke up with my girlfriend when I arrived in Congo, and she is also a soldier. ”
"Isn't this good? Why break up?" Yang Tianlong really couldn't think of a reason for the two to break up.
"It was my dream to go to the Congo for peacekeeping, but her family strongly opposed it, thinking that we should get married, and my idea was to wait until the three years of peacekeeping were over. Chen Liyan smiled awkwardly, "Ideals and reality sometimes do not conflict, but there is a time difference. ”
"It's a pity. Yang Tianlong couldn't help but feel sorry for Chen Liyan.
"It's nothing to be sorry for, if she still belongs to me, we'll be together in three years' time. After speaking, Chen Liyan jumped straight from the front of the warrior's car.
"Soldiers, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both since ancient times. After that, I saw this guy pull the door in a chic manner, he waved his hand at Yang Tianlong outside the car, and said loudly, "Get in the car." ”
The convoy soon moved forward again, and if nothing else, it was about to start entering the Congolese rainforest at three o'clock in the afternoon.
"The Congo rainforest, one of the largest rainforests in the world, is so rich in flora and fauna, and countless plants and animals are ......bred here," Chen Liyan held the steering wheel and introduced this more than one million square kilometers of rainforest to Yang Tianlong.
"If one day I retire, I'll be a photographer and my first stop will be in the rainforest. When passing by the edge of the rainforest, Chen Liyan deliberately stopped the car, and he told Yang Tianlong about his bright future with a dashing face.
Looking at the vast forest sea surrounded by clouds and mist, all kinds of sounds came out of the rainforest from time to time, although he did not enter the rainforest, but Yang Tianlong can definitely feel all kinds of beautiful scenery in the rainforest, waterfalls, long rivers, hidden trees, long vines...... One by one, these appeared on the electronic map.
After watching for a while, everyone continued to set off, and according to the usual practice of entering the rainforest, they should have stayed up all night tonight.
The rainforest itself is a small natural circle, and since this is the rainy season, the more you walk, the more muddy the road becomes.
Chen Liyan looked at the road ahead, and suddenly he made a move to stop the convoy.
