1153 - Entry
“Can you buy a car like this in Mogadishu?”
The Chinese peacekeeper who was waiting for another comrade to drive the minibus over expressed suspicion that Somalia is not a suitable place for travel.
If someone drives such a big cart around, he may be stolen at any time.
Looking at the car door that was bulging outwards and then slowly sliding open, Li Bai said: "I ordered it from the United States and shipped it directly to Mogadishu. I originally wanted to settle down first and then pick up the goods, but I happened to use it directly."
The minibus that was about to pick up people to the camp drove over, and the Chinese peacekeeper who acted as the driver was also stunned.
With the huge A-type body and the small car behind, he suddenly felt that he and the minibus were completely redundant.
"Put your luggage in a small car, and people take a big car?"
"Resolute solution!"
Several others immediately made a choice.
There is such a comfortable and spacious RV, why don’t you think about it and squeeze the dirty, dusty minibus?
Shin Ji-kyung, who followed the peacekeeping troops to look for business opportunities, got on the sofa in the RV, patted the jade cushion, and looked around curiously, with only one sentence.
"This is rich!"
He is a business person, so he is naturally aware of the goods.
Others looked for a seat to sit down one after another.
In addition to the head and co-pilot seats, it is not difficult to sit down seven more people in a 14-meter RV, and the seats are still abundant.
"Driving this to participate in peacekeeping mission, tsk tsk tsk tsk, so rich, what do you think?"
Xie Jiangyuan, a civil servant from Sanqin Province, also smacked his lips, envious of him, but he didn't understand.
Somalia is not a tourist country, there are no attractions, the roads are average, and the public security is so poor. It is more convenient to drive such a RV, but the goal is too big and the gain is not worth the loss.
Sun Nanjiang was the last one to get on the bus. Hearing Jie Jiangyuan's words, he said, "You came directly from the airport and didn't enter the city. If there was no such car, we would probably not be able to get through dark. There was a section of the road just in the war, and there was a corpse everywhere, which was particularly tragic. Although this is just a RV, it can block bullets and be safe first!"
The fat man brags.
"Wait, stop the bullet? Just this RV?"
Jie Jiangyuan knew about the war in the city, but when it comes to bulletproof, he was a little disbelief.
After all, it is not a movie or TV series. Things like using car bodies to block bullets are basically nonsense in reality.
In addition to the engine part, there is a thin layer of iron in other places, which cannot stop the invasion of the warhead, and it is difficult to block the pistol bullet.
"You go and look at the window glass!"
Sun Nan was showing off proudly.
Others went to look at the car windows and immediately discovered something unusual.
It's not a layer of glass but two layers, and it's also extra thick.
"See, it's bulletproof glass, and the shell is lined with Kevra and bulletproof ceramic sheets, which can block the frontal shooting of the small-caliber rifle."
Sun Nan was showing off the introductions Li Bai had once said.
Xie Jiangyuan said suddenly: "It's really thick!"
"It can not only be used to show off, but also to save lives at critical moments. This is an extra life!"
Without Li Bai's reminder, Sun Nanzheng realized the most prominent of the many benefits of this RV.
In war-torn areas, vehicles with bulletproof performance are more important than money.
Money can't save lives, but bulletproof cars can.
As for armored vehicles, they are simply a living target that attracts RPGs and missiles in war-torn areas. In many specific occasions, even bulletproof vests cannot be worn casually, which can easily cause misunderstandings.
But civilian vehicles don’t know that such a RV like a bus can still protect against the fire-raising attack of small-caliber weapons. The people on the car undoubtedly have a layer of protection.
“How expensive is this?”
Shin Ji-kyung, a business person, felt a toothache.
The bulletproof RV is even more expensive than he had previously estimated.
The domestic passengers only have one hundred thousand yuan, and the more high-end three million yuan is already amazing. I am afraid that this RV converted from a bus is mostly more than this.
"Six million dollars!"
Li Bai started the vehicle and followed the minibus that picked up the person.
The two blue-hat peacekeepers were on the minibus, and there was no one in the seats behind them, all of them were packed with Xiao Li's luggage.
Jie Jiangyuan and Shin Ji-kyung looked at each other and said with a sensation: "It's enough to buy an armored vehicle, right?"
Li Bai drove the car and said, "A armored vehicles are not as convenient as this. Look, they wash clothes and cook, bath and toilet, sleep, watch TV, work, and can surf the Internet. They are not used for wars. RVs are just enough. I also bought a C-type RV. It is cheaper, but the internal space is too compact and not as convenient as this one."
In this broken place in Somalia, even in the capital Mogadishu, the government's functions are nothing. If it were placed in China, it would have been sprayed to death by the Eighteen-Road keyboard warriors.
The roads were full of bumps, some were aging, some were traces of war, and dirt roads were everywhere.
After arriving in the suburbs, it became even worse.
The minibus leading the way was shock-absorbing, and it was bumpy and kept ringing, and the luggage inside was also jumping up and down. If it was a person, it would have to push out the intestines.
Obviously, it is undoubtedly foresight that a few people who came from afar chose to sit in RVs with better shock absorption performance.
All the fragile things are carried by everyone, at least they won’t be watching the minibus in front of them and heart-wrenchingly.
Even so, Li Bai's RV still slowly rose and fell, as if driving on the sea where the wind and waves gradually rose.
Fortunately, when customizing, it is required to raise the chassis and use rough off-road tires with better road adaptability, otherwise it will be impossible to live with the road conditions here.
There are no other advantages to breaking the road here except for being able to shake the car.
After more than an hour of bumpyness, I finally saw the camp of the Chinese peacekeeping force.
As a well-equipped and live ammunition combat unit, it is definitely not allowed to stay in the city of Mogadishu.
There have been separatist forces from all over the world. If a Chinese team is added, it will be a fuss.
Therefore, the camp of the peacekeeping force was located near a small town 50 kilometers away from the outskirts of Mogadishu. Before the camp was established, it was completely a bush, with many snakes, insects, rats and ants. It took a full week to clean it up and workers could enter the site to build safely.
As a small camp that is randomly marked, you don’t even think about the three connections and one level of water and electricity.
Fortunately, some Chinese people are infrastructure madmen, so they pulled out a team to bid and went straight to do it.
Without water, a small water purification station is established in nearby rivers.
There is no electricity, diesel motors, wind motors, solar panels, and multiple choices.
I worked together with various construction machinery and worked hard for two months before I put the entire camp into a basic appearance.
It’s not that you can build the camp in one go by working three shifts without sleeping, the cement must be thoroughly dry!
It is definitely impossible to spend a lot of money on quick-drying cement. At each stage, you can only stay honestly for half a month before continuing with the next step of construction.
When the minibus and RV drove onto a 100-meter-long cement road at the entrance of the camp, the buildings inside were already covered with scaffoldings being removed and some greening could be seen.
"One, two, three, our soldiers..."
There was someone singing in the camp, and it was undoubtedly the Chinese soldiers.
Looking around, blue hats are everywhere.
The blue hat is the logo of the peacekeeping force. If anyone has to wear a cuckold, then... why can't you think it out!
As soon as the RV that followed the minibus into the camp came on stage, it naturally attracted countless attention.
People who didn't know were still guessing which big shot was coming, and their eyes gathered together until Fatty Sun proudly got off the bus first, and then there were a group of mobs who were not standing.
There are people from all walks of life, and people who say they are mobs are praised.
It is not allowed to bring your own vehicles when entering the camp, especially the A-type RV with such a large size, which is inevitable.
The campground is quite large, and there are still parking places. The RV and the trailer behind it are 20 meters long. The roof of a car is as long as three or four cars, just like a car wall, and it is not easy to park with ordinary vehicles.
