    Yang Luo was the last one to get in the car. In the armored car that could accommodate ten people, there were twelve people sitting in it. The fully enclosed car had no gaps except for the two machine gunner positions on the roof.

    Said took out four pieces of body armor and a helmet and handed them to Yang Luo: "Captain Yang, please put these on."

    Yang Luo smiled, but he still refused Said's kindness.  He has never worn this thing since the day he joined the army. This is not a matter of lack of face. After all, in the face of life, face is bullshit.  The reason why he doesn't wear them is not only a habit, but for him wearing dozens of kilograms of things is a burden.  Maybe bullets can be blocked by bulletproof vests, but when a shell comes, not only can the bulletproof vest not save you, but it will also slow down your ability to dodge.

    "Thank you, I don't need this!"

    Del patted Said on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Major, this thing is just a burden to us."

    Said did not force it. The name Blood Wolf is a legendary existence for soldiers from various countries.  Body armor is a life-saving thing for ordinary soldiers, but for an expert, it is really a burden.

    Said put down his body armor and said with a heavy tone: "Since the outbreak of the civil war, my country has been in a state of warlord armed separatism. It has been more than 20 years. The country cannot be truly unified. In the final analysis, tribalism is at work."

    Yang Luo smiled slightly and said nothing.  As a soldier, he would study any war in any country.  The cause of the civil war in Somalia is tribal conflicts, which are difficult to solve.  Leaders of various factions say that they are nationalists and hate tribalists, but in fact they are constantly strengthening their own tribes¡¯ armed forces under the banner of the tribe¡¯s survival and interests, using the past history of their tribes being oppressed by other tribes.  The tribesmen are warned to be vigilant and prepared to fight for their own interests.

    Said continued: "People die here every day. Take us soldiers as an example. No matter what faction we belong to, we don't dare to walk alone on the street. No matter what the mission is, as long as it is not a large-scale military operation, under normal circumstances  Armored vehicles are dispatched to prevent stray bullets and bombs from attacking at any time"

    The armored vehicle was driving rapidly and arrived at Garowe in Puntland Province at dawn.

    The ghost fox seems to be very interested in this place: "I heard that Garroway is the home of pirates. Are there pirates in other places?"

    Said smiled and shook his head: "No, the important reason why they chose this place as their base is that supplies are convenient here. Garowe is currently the largest city in Puntland Province. After years of war, Somalia's business is slowly improving.  As the center of the region, Garowe naturally has the most developed local business. Pirates always come here in groups to make purchases. They rarely act alone and are not afraid of the police and the army when they appear in groups.  "

    The ghost fox asked: "Then why doesn't your government crack down on pirates?"

    Said smiled bitterly: "Those pirates are a group of rich and crazy guys. They rely on the ransom obtained from kidnapping and are equipped with a large number of advanced weapons, and they are not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. There is really nothing we can do." After speaking, he picked up the weapons of the soldiers around him.  Gun, "Look, most of our soldiers are old AKs. It's not impossible to fight against those pirates with advanced equipment, but the price paid is too high and we can't afford it. However, if they dare to attack other pirates,  We must attack them wherever they appear, otherwise my country will really be finished.¡±

    Li Tao leaned slightly closer to Ghost Fox's ear and said: "There is a special situation in Somalia, that is, the government's ability to deploy warlords with large armed forces is very limited. Local government officials have to recruit soldiers before dealing with many problems.  The relationship between the various warlord factions is already complicated. Unless absolutely necessary, no one is willing to stand up and have a head-on conflict with the powerful armed force of pirates. In the context of political turmoil, Somali pirates rely on  The armed forces have gained space for survival and development.¡±

    Ghost Fox nodded slightly. Thain looked at what Li Tao and Ghost Fox were talking about, but couldn't hear clearly and didn't ask. Instead, he looked at the time and took out field rations and canned food.

    ¡°We won¡¯t stop here, we can only solve the problem of eating in the car.¡±

    Yang Luo took it over with a smile, and a group of people had breakfast in the car: "When we get to Kismayo, take us around."

    Said hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, but it can't take too long."

    The armored vehicle continued to drive. Due to the road conditions, the bumps were so severe that the people were a little drowsy. Finally, they arrived at Kismayo, a coastal city in southern Somalia, the next morning.

    Yang Luo opened the door and got out of the car, and immediately felt the smell of war filling the air.  And the whole cityThere are collapsed buildings everywhere and garbage everywhere.  Then Li Tao and the others also jumped out of the car, and the soldiers from the other armored vehicle also got off and closely guarded Yang Luo and the others.

    Yang Luo smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous!" After saying that, he looked around and saw many people on the road, most of them with guns in their hands.  All models are available in various countries. It is estimated that if they are collected, a world weapons exhibition can be held.

    Said led Yang Luo and the others as they walked forward slowly: "Six million of the eight million people in our country own guns. Even women and eight- or nine-year-old children have guns. The per capita gun ownership is higher than that of the United States."  There are more people.¡±

    The ghost fox asked: "Why don't those women have guns?"

    Said said: "Most young women have guns, but they just keep them at home and don't take them out. As long as you have money, you can buy guns and ammunition from some citizens."

    "Da da!!"

    "Da da!!!!!"

    At this time, there was a burst of gunfire in the distance. Yang Luo looked at the direction of the gunfire and said with a smile, "It's a G36 assault rifle."

    Ghost Fox looked at the still calm crowd around him and said, "These citizens are still so calm when they hear the gunshots."

    A soldier said: "This is nothing, maybe someone is buying guns and testing guns. We are all used to it. If you stay here, you will hear gunshots and explosions every day."

    "Hey!" Ghost Fox suddenly discovered that many people were chewing a plant in their mouths, "What are they eating? They seem to be enjoying it."

    Yang Luo said as he walked: "That is a plant unique here, called Carter. The leaves and skin of this plant can secrete a light white liquid when chewed in the mouth, also known as Somali cannabis.  It has a mixed taste of bitterness and licorice. The sweetness is greater than the astringency. People who are hungry after chewing it will not feel hungry anymore. However, regular use can make people addicted. If they don¡¯t chew it for a day, they will fall asleep, which is harmful to the human brain and body.  The most serious thing is the impact on reproductive ability.¡±

    A group of people came to the free market in the city center. At this time, the market was already overcrowded. The vendors all set up a simple shack of two square meters to sell their goods inside.  And most of them are familiar products made in China, including shoe polish, white elephant batteries, poker cards, disposable lighters, military boots, etc.

    Along the way, the people here were quite friendly to Yang Luo and the others. People came over to say hello all the time, smiling with their white teeth exposed, nodding, or waving their right hands.  The more enthusiastic ones will take the initiative to say hello in English, and the most awesome ones will directly use Chinese and say: "Hello, we like Chinese people, we need Chinese people."

    Said said: "Although many people believe that Somalia is the most dangerous country in the world, China-Somalia relations have always been friendly, and China has also provided a large amount of assistance to my country, including from Barrett via Galka to  Blau, the road with a total length of more than 1,000 kilometers was built with Chinese aid. During the civil war, no one would blow up this road. On the one hand, this road has important military purposes for all parties.  On the other hand, this road was built by Chinese friends. In addition to construction projects, material assistance is also an important part of China's help to Somalia. At present, our country has almost no industry and relies on foreign aid for a large amount of daily necessities, many of which come from China.  China's aid is all real things, no matter who is in power, but the aid from Western countries is of little use to us. Whether it is private or official, they should really learn from you, China, and build more roads.  , dig wells and build factories, otherwise a lot of money will be invested but it will not help much, and only a few rich people will be helped. "

    Yang Luo stood in front of a vendor selling domestic copycat electronic products. A soldier standing next to Yang Luo took out a domestic copycat phone and said in very broken English: "This phone is made in China.  It's really good, easy to use, and cheap, and it's only eight dollars. The most common Nokia model costs about one hundred and fifty dollars. The Japanese are just robbing it." Then he called up the animation on his phone.  The picture was shown to Yang Luo. Although it was a very ordinary picture, the poor entertainment life made these soldiers enjoy all new things.

    A group of people could wander for more than two hours. Yang Luo looked at the time and said, "Let's go. I think General Morgan is already waiting impatiently."

    Said laughed loudly: "You are our most distinguished guest. Before I came, the general had an order. As long as it is your request, I will execute it unconditionally."

    An inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of Yang Luo's mouth. Morgan was so polite to him, and it seemed that he was asking for a lot.  It's just that I couldn't communicate with Del in front of Syd, I could only talk when I saw Morgan.

    A group of people got into the armored vehicle and arrived at the airport about half an hour later. The entire airport seemed very quiet. A few United Nations soldiers were in a tent next to the terminal.Drinking tea while chatting gives people a leisurely feeling.  There were a Buffalo armored mine-protected vehicle and an RG31 mine-protected vehicle parked outside the terminal. From a distance, Yang Luo recognized at a glance that the two mine-protected vehicles were actually the Type 57 heavy machine gun from the original armored vehicle.  Replaced with the current W85 12.7MM anti-aircraft machine gun.  There are also four military trucks, which are Liberation CA141.

    At this time, soldiers from the Ugandan unit of the African Union peacekeeping force came over. Li Tao smiled and said, "Damn, it's all equipment from our country."

    Yang Luo looked at the group of soldiers. The helmets on their heads, the bulletproof vests on their bodies, the Type 56 guns and their ammunition carrying equipment were all made in China.

    Said walked over, took out his ID, and said something.  A second lieutenant looked at Yang Luo and the others, then waved his hand and turned to leave.  !
