1148 - Traffic
After chatting and fucking for about an hour, Li Bai's satellite phone suddenly rang.
There is a call here.
“Hey! ~”
Li Bai picked up the satellite phone and walked to the glass curtain wall of the cafe.
Satellite phones are not good at this. When indoors, the signal quality will become very poor, and it will only be more stable in the open air.
Sometimes bad weather can also affect the stability of the signal.
After a moment, he put down the phone and walked back.
"Are you going?"
Sun Nan was about to get his luggage, thinking that the phone was about to arrive when they answered their car.
"No, there is a gunfight in the city, and the embassy's car was stuck on the road and I can't get through for the time being. Let's find a place to wait a little longer."
Li Bai shook his head.
There were ping-pong on the streets, and the embassy's car was not an armored vehicle, so it was naturally impossible to drive.
So they can only keep waiting.
"Damn it!" Fatty Sun was stunned.
When I was in China, how could I encounter such a thing?
Reporter Ximen said to Lao Hei: "Chaka, I guess you have to wait too."
There is no news about Lao Hei's cousin. He is probably blocked by gunfights like the people from the Chinese Embassy.
As soon as he finished speaking, two military jeeps stopped outside the seaman's cafe one by one, and several black soldiers with live ammunition were dropped from above.
The half-convertible jeep also has a heavy machine gun and a wide ammunition chain case.
The atmosphere in the cafe suddenly became tense.
This is a port, not a military camp. Suddenly, soldiers with guns came over, and there were not many people, so I was afraid that they were not here to seek revenge.
Anyone who makes a living in Mogadishu Port knows how chaotic this city is. To this day, it still has to be peaceful. If you are not careful, you will lose your life.
The waiters simply left the guests and hid in the workshop. The others were very nervous and stared at the soldiers, ready to hide at the bottom of the table, for fear that the soldiers would lift their guns and wipe out all the people in the cafe to death.
"Those people..."
Sun Nanzheng also became nervous.
"Don't worry, it's my cousin!"
Chaka Abalutta had borrowed a landline from the cafe before to call his cousin, and he immediately stood up to greet him.
"Cousin!"
"Chaka!"
The black officer who led the lead took off his sunglasses and hugged with Chaka Abalutta.
The atmosphere in the cafe suddenly became relaxed, and everyone was relieved. As long as it was not seeking revenge, it would be fine.
"Come on, let me introduce you to my friend I met on the cruise ship. This is my cousin, Kamo Osaka. This is the official name. If it is the real name in the tribe, forget it, I don't want to bully you, and I will cry. Kamo or Osaka, just call it."
Chaka Abalutta pulled his cousin and came to Li Bai and others to introduce them one by one.
"Li Bai, he is my benefactor, a good brother, a doctor, and this one, Sun Nanzheng, is invincible, a great writer, who writes online novels. Hi, you don't understand anyway, just know. Ximen Dong, surnamed Ximen, is a reporter, the last one, Japanese, Qin Yulong, you and my clients, have to entertain you, it is best to do a long-term business in the future."
"Hello! I am Kamo Osaka, the battalion commander of the artillery battalion of the Dunes Giant Brigade."
Because he was a friend of his cousin or a brother, the black officer had an extremely friendly attitude and shook hands with Li Bai and others one by one. He didn't know Chinese, but he could speak a few words in English.
"Hello, Major Kamo!"
Li Bai identified the other party's rank of epaulette and greeted the other party very formally.
"Hello, Mr. Kamo Osaka."
"Hello!"
Sun Nanzheng, Ximen Dong and Qin Yulong are slightly more folk.
"Do you have a car?"
Kamo Osaka looked at Li Bai and others and their luggage.
"We have cars, but it seems that there is a gunfight in the city. I guess we will have to wait a little longer."
Li Bai briefly said the call he just received.
"Oh! It's the people from the Free Front and the Democratic League that are fighting, and it will take at least two or three hours. The car from the Chinese Embassy will probably not be able to arrive at the port at 3 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Why don't I call another car and take you with me? It's not expensive, one thousand dollars, and you can send it to the embassy or anywhere in Mogadishu city."
Major Kamo Osaka was clear about the situation of the two sides in the exchange of fire, but he did not agree with it. He was shot today, exploded tomorrow, and died the day after tomorrow. This is common in Mogadishu and even the entire Somalia, and it is not a big deal at all.
Just walking on the road with someone and accidentally fell, it was no different. It didn’t even have the value of news reports. It was so common.
The major looked at the two jeeps he drove. Everyone was able to sit down, but it was hard to say that there was so much luggage.
Brothers, settle the accounts clearly, and Chaka Abalutta's cousin directly quoted a price, and could bring Li Bai and the other two together and deliver it to the destination.
Armed military vehicles are surrounding the firefighting areas, so there is no need to worry about security issues.
I'm afraid that the small local gangs in Mogadishu would not think they were too stubborn and had to touch the government forces. The two heavy machine guns on the jeep with bullet links are not vegetarians.
"Five thousand dollars! Not expensive, brothers, send the bag to the place!"
Chaka Abalutta had a passionate smile on her face. If there were more philanthropy, there would be more philanthropy.
"I……"
"No, thank you!"
Sun Nanzheng, who was rich and powerful, was just about to agree, but was interrupted by Li Bai.
"It really doesn't need to? Mogadishu is not very safe these two days. We are government forces. Everyone will give you some face and ensure safety. Even if it is a port, there will be gangs and even pirates. One thousand dollars is not expensive. If it weren't for Chaka's good friend, I would have asked for three thousand dollars. This is the market price, and no matter where it is, it will not be lower than this."
Chaka Abalutta's cousin, Major Kamo Osaka, did show his kindness to Li Bai and the other two, and he told the truth that even if he made money, he did not maliciously slaughter the other party's fat sheep.
After all, favors are your own, but the brothers under your command still have to make a living and not do it in vain.
"Are we going to wait here for a few hours?"
Ximen Dong felt that Li Bai should not be the one who could not bear the one thousand dollars, and not to mention that the money was not paid by him.
The satellite phone I just used to talk to the embassy was more than a thousand dollars.
"I'm in the port, I should have a car!"
Li Bai looked at the date and it must be correct.
"Hey? You're in the port, have a car?"
Everyone looked at him at the same time, showing a look of surprise. Except for Chaka Abalutta's cousin and the black soldiers, they could not understand Chinese.
"Why not, I'll check it out!"
Li Bai shrugged his shoulders. He not only came with a storage ring and carry-on luggage, but also had other arrangements.
The freighter is much faster than the cruise ship. It drives directly from China to Mogadishu in one breath, with only two or three ports in the middle.
Sun Nanzheng slapped the table and said, "I'll go! Didn't you say it earlier? Why do you need the embassy to pick it up? Drive away just by car!"
If you have a car, it would be very convenient.
"No license plate! I don't have a local driver's license in Somalia, either."
Li Bai expressed his considerations and originally planned to go through the procedures first and pick up the goods in a few days.
"The license plate and driver's license are trivial matters. I ask my cousin to help you do it. As long as there are some handling fees, there is no need to cheap those scalpers."
Chaka Abalutta photographed his breasts on the spot, and his cousin was a local snake in Mogadishu. This was a trivial matter for him.
As long as the money is in place, everything is easy to say.
He turned his head and talked to his cousin Kamo Osaka Jiligulu, and then said, "Let my cousin escort you to the destination. It is safer for government forces to open the way. How about five hundred dollars?"
"make a deal!"
Li Bai nodded immediately and shook hands with the major.
Chapter completed!
