What a shabby place
"Lin Mo washed his face with a towel in front of a row of faucets in the open air and looked at everything at the airport
He said that china was not as good as Old Mei, but there were plenty of people in places not as good as china
Lin Mo did not even know that the unemployment rate in Zambia was over 50 %, and nearly 70 % of the population was struggling under the poverty line, so that three meals a day could not be guaranteed
He saw that Lusaka air force base had already been reached by the government of Zambia with great efforts
A few black soldiers were also washing up together
When they saw Lin Mo, he showed his white teeth in a friendly manner and gestured to the waiter
Lin Mo nodded and said," good morning
" He was speaking rather proficient english, which was the result of some of the knowledge that Lin Mo had given him before, and the fact that he had strengthened it after coming to this world
In Zambia, the official language was english
Whether it was engineers or air force instructors, the chinese were all highly educated elites with no language barriers, so when they came over, they did not bring a translator with them
Only a liaison officer was responsible for linking up work and reminding them of local customs
" Good morning
" The black soldier also seemed to have strengthened chinese, but he actually replied with a stiff chinese
The few of them smiled at the same time, and the strangeness was gone
It was not the first time that the chinese instructors had come
These black soldiers were good friends
They washed their faces and brushed their teeth as they spoke
Lin Mo quickly chatted with them happily
These black soldiers were from tongjia, benba, and luozi
They were tall and muscular called tongge
They were slightly skinny, had thick lips called ganai, and had long legs called bofei
His son had a chinese name, qin na
The fair-skinned one was mig-21's pilot, Gryffindor
Lin mo got up early
Not long after, the other air force instructors, Major huang de, major Han Renguang and captain zou han, all got up
After washing up, Lin Mo was dragged to breakfast by the newly acquainted tongge and gannai
The food in Lusaka air force base was still good, and Lin Mo received an officer's package with special treatment
The typical Zambia food was" sima
" Glutinous dumpling made from white corn flour, with some vegetables, potato curry and roasted turkey drumsticks, with meat and vegetables, is a good match
In reality, many civilians in Zambia could not afford to eat meat, and it was not bad to have meat to eat
There were no chopsticks and knives and hairpins in the dining room
Many soldiers in Zambia ate with their hands
Lin Mo was still not used to it
He put his right hand on his left wrist, and there was an extra pair of chopsticks
Seeing the stunned black soldier at the dining table, lin mo waved his chopsticks
" Magic
Understand
"" Awesome
Awesome
"" Chinese magic
" The black Zambia soldiers who thought it was really a little trick raised their thumbs at the same time, if Dawei
Copperfield must be staring straight at this
What kind of magic is this
Wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt and changing into chopsticks, where should I hide this prop
" I hate changing chopsticks
Can't you just grab them with your hands like they do
" Jin Bi was full of complaints about how he had become a food utensil
" My hands aren't clean, and I won't eat you
What are you stingy about
" Lin mo chuckled and pulled the breakfast, but there was no porridge or fried dough sticks
Jin Bi was already very numb to the fact that he was reduced to a utility tool, which was the price lin mo paid for taking care of the electronic function cube module and the secret silver ingot dry food
For this reason, Lin Mo's luggage had been increased by 60 kilograms on this trip
Based on the poverty and poor living conditions of african countries, the chinese air force instructors and engineers brought over quite a few supplies this time
Besides a large number of cans, there were ham, soy meat, dried noodles, rice, dehydrated vegetables and tea--boiling literature
After breakfast, lin mo saw Major huang de, major Han Renguang, and captain zouhan following the liaison officer, mwaya
When she came to the restaurant, of course, they also had trouble with no dining tools
They could only handle the problem with a spoon and fork that they had temporarily dug out
No one expected to have all the supplies ready, but they did not expect to have chopsticks
On the second night of arriving in Lusaka, the chinese embassy in Zambia specially prepared a dust-cleaning banquet, inviting Major huang de and other air force instructors who had just arrived in Lusaka air force base, as well as the military purchase team that arrived a week earlier
There are many chinese in Zambia, and there are many shops and restaurants
They have become an important part of Zambia's economy, especially when chinese military personnel arrived
Li Ambassador of the embassy and wu peng*, the military officer, warmly welcomed them
The embassy's chefs were well-crafted
Compared to the" far east hotel" and" Sichuan hotel" that the chinese people in the city had opened all over, the authentic chinese taste made Lin Mo and Major huang de feel as if they were in the country
Li Ambassador entertained everyone and said with a smile: "Come on, come on
In the past few years, the conditions were bad, and we could only go into the countryside as the custom did
Only the local specialties could be eaten, and we were very tired of eating them every day
Now, the vegetables and food from the mainland of china have moved to Zambia, and the chinese have their own farms
They eat almost the same here as in china
It's just a little less meat, but don't worry, it's enough for today
" Dinner was served in the Chinese embassy auditorium in Lusaka, with six tables of dishes
Besides the embassy staff, there were also representatives of local chinese entrepreneurs
It was rare for them to get together
Li Ambassador first introduced the military officer wu peng of the embassy and the famous businessmen in Lusaka to Major huang de and Lin Mo, and then began to introduce everyone to the important portraits of today's dust cleaning reception
" Come on, let me introduce you
This is Major Huang, the instructor team leader who is training pilots for Zambia this time
This is major Han Renguang, captain zouhan, and this is the youngest and most promising lieutenant Lin Mo
" Li Ambassador introduced all the new members of the chinese military training team
All the people who were named stood up, saluted the people around them and received a round of applause
" This is captain Luo Chao of the escort team
I remember once coming to Zambia, right
" Li Ambassador had a good memory
When he saw captain Luo Chao, he immediately remembered his past
" Yes, Li Ambassador
Back in 2008, my old captain and I escorted a group of individual anti-air missiles over
I didn't expect you to remember me, Li Ambassador
" Captain Luo Chao stood up and saluted
He was surprised by Li Ambassador's memory
After so many years, he could still remember him as an ordinary escort
" It's not easy for the soldiers in your escort team
They don't eat well, drink well, sleep well, and are under a lot of pressure
It's really hard on you
" Li Ambassador walked up to captain Luo Chao and shook captain Luo Chao's hand with great solemnity
" Thank you, ambassador
These are our responsibilities
" Luo Chao was very excited and held Li Ambassador's hand
" Come on, this is director ding
He stood in front of you, a week in advance
After running, he worked out the transportation route with Zambia and Tanzania, and mobilized so many troops to protect you
Otherwise, the journey would be troublesome
" Li Ambassador seemed to know a lot of inside information about the people who came to Zambia
A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, stood up from the main table and bowed quietly to everyone
It was obvious that he was not a soldier
" Thank you
Li Ambassador's praise went too far
It should be the result of our common efforts
In the end, we still rely on the strength of our country as the background
Otherwise, how can I say that the two countries are willing to help by myself
" Director ding's body was thin, but his eyes behind the lenses were very attractive
He quietly flattered everyone, making people feel very approachable
" New comrades, here, I would like to give a hint first
Basically, every chinese who comes to Zambia, we will give him a special reminder
A person should not go to remote places alone, not go out at night, and, most importantly, not touch blood
Especially not miss
" Li Ambassador's words caused a burst of uncontrollable laughter
He didn't take it seriously and continued: According to the official statistics, the hiv infection rate in Zambia is 21 %
Ten million, ten million, and ten million people should be careful
Other diseases, such as malaria, tuberculosis, diarrhea, and cholera, are common
The hygiene conditions here are very poor
According to the statistics in the past two years, the average life expectancy of the local people is only 37 years old
We must be careful not to eat indiscriminately
Take care of your personal hygiene
Your body is a** asset
You are far away from home
You must take care of yourself
" Li Ambassador's words caused a flurry of uncertainty among the first people to come to Zambia
They could not help but cry out
Zambia was not as good a place as they thought
Although they had known before they came that there were many snakes, insects, beasts and diseases in africa, they did not expect it to be so severe
Aids
For the first time, lin mo felt a chill
This disease was simply repulsed by the whole society
If they were placed in a different world, it would be a great weapon for the noble families
The noble families who lived in chaos would not take long for the noble families to be erased from the imperial society
" Well, if we continue, everyone will think that old li is talking too much nonsense and won't let everyone eat
Come on
Let's raise our glasses together
" Li Ambassador's words had a tinge of humor and caused another laugh
They heard everyone raise their glasses together and shout in unison," cheers
" The loud clinking of glasses resounded throughout the small auditorium, and everyone officially launched an attack on the table full of exquisite dishes
It was not until 10 pm that Major huang de and Lin Mo returned to the Air force base on the Lusaka air force base military transport bus, escorted by captain Luo Chao
