"Sudden Da ......"

As soon as the morning dawned, the townspeople of Shaokui Town were woken up by the sound of tractors starting, and then the sound of the military horn came "Dudu ......"

The military camp in East Africa was in the center of the city of Shoquay, because Shoquay, as an important town of the former Portuguese, left many Portuguese and indigenous people in the area after the war, so in order to prevent local rebellion, the army did not completely evacuate.

"Honey, what's that sound?" Hannah Montana wakes up her sleeping husband.

Andorra said impatiently: "Isn't it the trumpet of the East Africans!" All the fuss and let me sleep a little longer......"

Hannah Montana patted him and said, "I can't tell the sound of the trumpet!" I'm talking about the clattering sound before the bugle, and it hasn't stopped yet, listen carefully. ”

At the urging of his wife, Andorra reluctantly poked his head into the place where the sound came from, and sure enough, under the sound of the majestic military trumpet, he heard a different movement, and the sound was getting closer and closer, as if coming in the direction of his house.

"Well......" Andorra was attracted attention.

Suddenly, an exclamation came from outside the street: "Look, monster, monster that moves......"

"Help!"

Various Portuguese voices, mixed with some indigenous ones, spread outside the streets, and Andorra and his wife looked at each other, and the two hurriedly got dressed and went out to see the "bustle".

Andorra opened the door and was greeted by a chaotic scene on the streets, outside which were mainly indigenous Mozambicans.

Some people fled in all directions, some people hurriedly looked for cover, and even a few natives crawled directly on the ground, muttering words in their mouths.

Andorra couldn't make out what they were saying, but he could probably guess that it was the babbling prayer of some indigenous gods, presumably like a white man seeking God's refuge.

The "culprit" of all this is a few machines with no apparent purpose, but based on the sound and the smoke coming out of the exhaust holes, Andorra thinks that it must be an unknown "steam engine", but where are the exhaust holes of this "steam engine"! The black one must just be a chimney!

Andorra knows about the steam engine, and even knows the general principle of "boiling water", and in Andorra's impression, the steam engine produces a lot of water mist, but these strange machines are obviously still different from the "normal" steam engine.

In Andorra's view, tractors in East Africa are more like "little trains" that can drive on ordinary roads, at least in appearance.

Hannah Montana hid behind her husband and asked, "Honey, do you see what's going on?" ”

Andorra muttered: "It looks like the 'train' of East Africans has frightened the natives of the streets. ”

"Train!" Hannah Montana exclaimed behind her back.

Andorra, startled by the screams, exclaimed: "What are you doing! To my surprise, my ears were almost deaf by you, and I was just as ignorant as those natives. ”

"Andorra, do you think it's possible, there is no railway in Saukoy, how can East Africans get trains here!" Hannah Montana temporarily forgot her husband's sarcasm and questioned.

Andorra opened the door wider, stepped out of the way and said to his wife, "See for yourself." ”

It was only then that Hannah Montana saw what was happening in the street, but her attention was already drawn to the tractor, and she had no time to pay attention to the chaos on the street.

Seeing his wife's surprised eyes, Andorra said proudly: "See! East Africans have a train that goes straight to the road, but it's too small to pull much cargo and there are no carriages in the back. ”

Of course, the tractor can carry goods, but this requires a special carriage, and of course, it is also possible to hang a horse-drawn carriage and freight car, but the staff of the state farm in the town of Shaokui have not yet had time to install it, so the East African tractor presented to the Andorrans looks more like a peculiar "locomotive".

"This must be what was on the wagons that the East African army escorted over a few days ago! At that time, it was covered with a cloth, and I thought it was some kind of heavy weapon. Hannah Montana said.

"Anyway, now that we're East Africans, there's no way there's going to be a war here, so let's just live honestly." Andorra said.

Soon, the army in the town of Shokui suppressed the riots that had taken place in the neighborhood.

In Mozambique and Angola, except for Maputo, Luanda and other "big" cities, there is no public security system at present, and most areas are still mainly under military control.

The East African cavalry on horseback, with their whips, commanding the blacks in the streets to restore order, was slightly better for the original Portuguese residents, just signaling them to get out of the way and not to cause obstructions.

Of course, it was mainly the Portuguese interpreter who was in charge of the work: "Everyone, don't get stuck in front of you, keep the road open, and the lean on both sides of the road, don't cause trouble." ”

"Don't worry, this machine is not a monster, it's a tractor, you can think of it as a farm tool, or as a vehicle." Government officials have also begun to reassure people.

In fact, many government personnel only learned about the term tractor yesterday, and before that they only knew that the military had brought in a group of "big guys".

Of course, natives may not be able to understand everything, because it is beyond their worldview.

During the centuries of Portuguese colonization, the local natives could write Portuguese to a greater or lesser extent, especially the slaves, or the natives who participated in the Portuguese army in the war.

The original Portuguese residents are a little better, most of them have seen the world in Europe, and the tractor knows that it is an industrial product at a glance, although they have not seen it, but a bunch of steel products are not "smart" there, just a little curious.

Steam tractors are rare in Europe and the United States, not to mention the world's earliest gasoline tractor, not to mention the Portuguese, even in East Africa, there are not many of them, not to mention the former Portuguese colony of Mozambique, before Mozambique can be said to have nothing modern except for guns.

Soon, the residents of the town of Shaokui saw how this thing called a "tractor" worked.

As a town located on the banks of the Limpopo River, the town of Shaokui was also mainly engaged in agriculture before the war, so most of the people living in the town were also farmers.

Almost most of the residents were on both sides of the field watching the work of the tractors, and everyone stopped to watch.

Soon, the tractor driver installed the mechanical plough and then sat in the tractor driver's seat after confirming that all procedures had been completed.

In the sound of "da-da-da", the tractor is operated to work in the field, the tractor with full horsepower carries the plough, in the flat and open plain of the Limpopo River, it is easy to dig out a plough ditch, although the speed is not much faster than the ploughing ox, but the staying power is strong, from seven o'clock in the morning, until ten o'clock, three hours without the slightest stop, the work efficiency is extremely high.

In between, only one tractor broke down, but it was quickly repaired by experienced repairmen.

"This is what the central government calls agricultural mechanization, the use of modern agricultural equipment, which has greatly improved production efficiency, and if it can be rolled out across the country, I dare not imagine what kind of scene it is." Ranwell, the owner of the first state farm in the town of Shaokui, lamented.

"This is the charm of industrialization, which is not only in the industrial sector, but also closely related to agriculture, mining and other related industries, and in the future of the Southern Mozambique Plain to build a world-class cluster of large-scale mechanized farms, we in the town of Shaokui are the vanguard of this agricultural revolution." Mars, the first East African mayor of the town of Shaokui, said on the sidelines.
