Chapter 748: Somalia Rehabilitation 7

After two consecutive days of travel, everyone was very tired. In addition, the 8-hour jet lag between Somalia and China, so everyone rested after eating a little.

I have to complain about Somalia's food, barbecue, camel milk, onion crumbs, toast, fried noodles, etc. I don't know if it is the chef or the locals make this method. They are all in one lump, and they don't look very attractive, and the taste is very strange when eaten.

Moreover, when people here eat, they don’t need chopsticks or knives or forks, but grab them directly with their hands. Fortunately, before coming, everyone brought their own essential tools such as chopsticks.

Fortunately, there are also some vegetables, fruits, tomatoes and watermelons, all produced here, and everyone finally got full. However, the hygiene here is indeed worrying, because when eating, the flies are in groups, like bombers, and they cannot be bombed away. They are particularly stubborn and are not afraid of death.

Such days have just begun. Diet and water are the first difficulties that everyone needs to overcome, and they can only be overcome slowly by everyone.

That night, Mu Yang went out and came back about half an hour later. This made Deputy Team Leader Zheng Yunliang nervous for half an hour, because even the locals dared not go out after 5 o'clock, and the possibility of being shot when going out is very high.

Those peacekeepers, government troops, and anti-government troops who were driving pickup trucks wandered on the streets, as long as they saw living things on the streets, their first reaction was the enemy. Because no one knew whether it was an enemy, they would shoot directly and kill them first.

In Mogadishu at night, gunfire often sounds from time to time.

Seeing Mu Yang enter the room, Zheng Yunliang breathed a sigh of relief, "Representative Mu, you are back. I am really afraid something will happen to you. Since you left the room door, I have been here." After that, Zheng Yunliang pointed at his throat with his finger.

"It's really dangerous. If there is no need, our people will never go out at night in the future. But this time it's special. By the way, the car has been brought in and now we have travel tools. Regardless of whether people from the Somali government departments come to us or not, I plan to visit us directly tomorrow and meet Somali Foreign Minister Bele." Mu Yang said.

"Don't you need to report to the Somali government and then ask the other party to arrange the meeting time?" Zheng Yunliang asked. Mu Yang's approach was somewhat incompatible with diplomatic rules.

"In Somalia, if everything is done according to the rules, we will be unable to move forward, so sometimes we have to break the rules. Our task is to restore the normal operation of the embassy as soon as possible. I think the others can be ignored a little." Mu Yang said.

Diplomacy needs to be paid attention to, but it also depends on whom. If the other government does not do much at all, you will follow the rules, and then you may not be able to complete this work in half a year.

"Listen to you, team leader." Zheng Yunliang said.

The next morning, Mu Yang called Lieutenant Kedean who received them yesterday. Mu Yang deliberately left Lieutenant Kedean's phone number yesterday.

I have to say that although there are wars in Somalia, there are still mobile phone signals and the Internet, which is amazing. But what are the number of users? The per capita ownership rate of mobile phones in Somalia is 1,000 to 1, while the Internet usage rate is about 10,000 to 1. In other words, Somalia has a population of 9.1 million, only 10,000 people have mobile phones, and only 1,000 people are using Internet services.

If this number is less than a village in China, it is a bit exaggerated, but it is definitely less than the use of an ordinary town in China.

"But Lieutenant Dean, please help me. We want to meet Foreign Minister Bele. I hope you can take us there." Mu Yang said.

Zheng Yunliang and several members sat beside him and watched Mu Yang call, while Ding Xiaoxi and Lao Yuan were doing their own work, faithfully recording every scene that happened in Somalia.

"Mr. Diplomat, I said that it is not my job, my task has been completed. As for communicating with the government, you need to find government staff." But Dean simply refused.

"You know, we Chinese like to make friends the most. I brought 2 boxes of red wine from my hometown. If you have time, please come and get it." Mu Yang said.

Kedean on the other end of the phone was stunned and said, "Okay, maybe I can take you to the government for a walk. As for whom I can see, I don't know. It's hard to say whether the senior officials in Somalia stay in Mogadishu."

Putting down the phone, Mu Yang looked at the wide-opening eyes of everyone and asked, "What's wrong, what's your expression?"

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Ding Xiaoxi put down the camera, coughed, and then said, "Agent Mu, are you considered a public bribery?"

Mu Yang smiled, "Do you understand diplomatic etiquette? In fact, the principle of diplomacy and visiting friends abroad is not bad. You have to bring some gifts. Look at the gift exhibition hall in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, there are so many valuable things, but they are not given by others. We often give gifts to others. This is a kind of etiquette."

Ding Xiaoxi scratched his head and murmured, "I feel that what Mu said is right, but I feel that something is wrong."

"Why don't you think about it yourself? But let's cut it off this section. After all, it affects the tall and majestic image of diplomats, right?" Mu Yang said.

After Mu Yang said this, everyone laughed.

What kind of diplomatic etiquette is Mu Yang definitely bribery, just for the sake of the country.

Zheng Yunliang asked, "Team leader, where did you get the red wine? We didn't bring it."

"It's okay, I've brought it. By the way, our car is downstairs. Everyone cleans up and wait for Dean to come over and go to the Somali government together." Mu Yang said, standing up and leading everyone down.

In the backyard of this hotel, there were two armored vehicles parked. Members of the rehabilitation team, four armed police soldiers, as well as two CCTV reporters, Ding Xiaoxi and Lao Yuan. As soon as they saw the two armored vehicles, they were all happy.

Liao Kaiqiang, the guard captain, usually doesn't say much, but after seeing the armored vehicle, he still called out, "Streker M1126 armored personnel carrier, Hummer M1114 battlefield assault vehicle, Mu Agency, where did you get it from, it's all good things."

"I borrowed it from a friend. Why? Do you know these armored vehicles very well?" Mu Yang asked.

"Our soldiers naturally like to study these things." Liao Kaiqiang said.

"Can you use it?"

"It should be similar. Although I have never touched anything from the United States, it should be not much different from domestic armored vehicles."

"Okay, you can get in the car and try it out now. You will mainly use these things in the future." Mu Yang said.
