Chapter 850: Yemen Evacuation 4
At this moment, the situation became more and more urgent, and people's hearts were raised. Seeing this situation, Mu Yang quickly urged: "Everyone should speed up, we must board the ship and leave the port as soon as possible."
Fortunately, people boarded the ship at this time and people were getting faster.
At this time, the ship's warning post reported that it was rotated right 3 kilometers and found signs of violent fire exchange, suspected that it was a temporary battlefield.
Because they are too close to the port, people's hearts are in their throats.
"Dang, dang, dang, dang." A series of heavy machine gun bullets straited onto the crane frame of the port, causing a series of sounds of explosions, only twenty or thirty meters away from the ships and the crowds.
People were so scared that they screamed, and some people hid everywhere in horror.
Captain Zhang Rong was not vague and immediately directed the soldiers to provide personal protection for the personnel on the dock who had not had time to board the ship. He also ordered the ship to board the ship as fast as possible and prepare for the ship immediately. While ensuring the safety of the expatriates, he quickly left the dock.
Finally, everyone boarded two warships. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the only dozen Yemeni embassy staff left on the pier, Mu Yang stepped forward and asked, "Amistant Tian, are you going to Djibouti with us?"
"It's not possible yet. Although we have evacuated most of our citizens, according to our statistics, there are still more than a dozen people who are missing and cannot be contacted. We must send someone in again to check and make sure they are safe before we can leave. Besides, there are still some things to be done at the embassy, so you can go first." Ambassador Tian said.
"Yemen is now very dangerous. How to ensure the safety of embassy staff?" Mu Yang asked worriedly.
"No matter what both of them have little to do with China, they will not target China. As long as it is not accidentally injured, our safety is still guaranteed." Ambassador Tian said with a smile.
In fact, Ambassador Tian only said halfway. Indeed, the Yemeni government forces will not do anything to the Chinese and will protect them, but those troops may not be the case. Usually, they will blackmail foreigners when they catch foreigners in the North Yemen area under actual control. They are not good people.
Besides, on the battlefield, the most feared thing is accidental injury. If the guns and bullets are eyeless, who can guarantee safety? But the embassy responsibilities are.
Mu Yang held Ambassador Tian's hand and shook it hard.
The warship left the port, because the workers on the dock had already run away at this time, so there were no port auxiliary personnel. The ship originally needed to assist the tugboat when leaving the dock, but at this time he could only unplug the cables themselves and forcefully leave the port.
Only after leaving the port of Hodeida, everyone's hearts were relaxed, and people felt tired and hungry at this moment.
Although Djibouti is not far from Yemen, the entire voyage also takes 5 or 6 hours. Food was prepared for everyone on the warships, and people were sighing in their hearts while eating the prepared meals.
Finally arrived at the port of Djibouti, and the people from the Djibouti Embassy came to greet him. There were more people responsible for assisting. They were representatives of the Djibouti Chamber of Commerce. They put down their business and came to help.
When Counselor Xin Weitong saw Mu Yang, he stepped forward to shake hands with Mu Yang: "Ambuy, thank you for your hard work. I heard that the bombs over there have been hitting the warships, which is really dangerous."
"It's nothing. The comrades in the Yemeni Embassy are in danger. They can't evacuate now. By the way, what's the situation at home?" Mu Yang said.
"I'm about to tell you that due to too many people, Djibouti is not big and there are few hotels. Although the first batch has been resettled, we have rented all the hotels that can be rented. The second batch of people really cannot be resettled. You see what should we do." Counselor Xin Weitong said.
The first batch of overseas Chinese evacuation was 217 people, the second batch of 422 people, and the total number of Chinese citizens was 639. There were 13 compatriots from Taiwan. A total of 78 people were rescued from Pakistan and 619 people from other countries were rescued.
Mu Yang also knows the situation in Djibouti. Although he is the capital of a country, he is only a small city with a population of more than 300,000. He is not even as good as a third-tier city in China, and it is not yet developed. It is really difficult to arrange so many people pouring in at once.
Looking at the people stranded at the dock and looking at their helpless subordinates, Mu Yang thought for a moment, took out his phone and called Odova.
"Minister Odowa, I am the Chinese Ambassador Mu Yang. I want to ask for help. Yemen's civil strife, our citizens retreated from Yemen to Djibouti. Now all the hotels can be found. We need your help now." There are outsiders here, Mu Yang is very formal.
"Sir, I will do whatever you want," said Odova.
"Now there are no vacant hotels in Djibouti. Can you rent a venue for us so that people can have a rest place? You also need to ask you to help me buy some blankets, bedding, and some food. There are indeed a lot of people coming this time." Mu Yang said.
Counselor Xin Weitong looked at Mu Yang and thought to herself that Ambassador Mu is close enough to the presidential candidate who is now the most popular. He only opens his mouth and asks for so many requests. Is it a bit over?
"Okay, I'll send someone to arrange it now. See how the Djibouti basketball hall is like, it's fully enclosed, air conditioning and material matters I'll ask someone to purchase, and I will definitely arrange it for you." Odova said.
"Then thank you Minister Odova." Mu Yang hung up the phone.
That's it. Counselor Xin Weitong looked at Mu Yang in disbelief. It's so easy to talk to.
"Now organize people to pull everyone to the Djibouti basketball hall, first place it, and explain to people that in a maximum of two days, the country will arrange a ship to send them back safely." Mu Yang said.
"Oh, okay, I'll make arrangements now." Counselor Xin Weitong replied readily.
"By the way, weren't there two injured people sent by yesterday? What's going on first?" Mu Yang asked.
"The surgery has been performed, and it was done by our doctor. The one who injured his head was just a heavy fall, concussion, and healed after a period of recuperation. The other person had a leg injury and a fracture. He had surgery, so there was no big problem." Counselor Xin Weitong said.
"It's fine. Now organize the people to start transferring and stabilize people as soon as possible." Mu Yang ordered.
The embassy has rented several buses and started to transport people to the gymnasium in a car. As for people from other countries, they naturally handed them over to embassies from other countries for processing. When China brought them to Djibouti, they were already grateful.
Muyang met the ambassadors of several countries in Djibouti and all sent his sincerest thanks. He hoped to strengthen exchanges and friendship in the future.
After a long time of busyness, Mu Yang followed the last car to the basketball hall, but when he got here, Odova gave him a surprise.
