Shenhao UP Lord

Chapter 303

"He just lay there motionless and told us: If God wants me to die, then take my life, I'm not moving anyway, if the bullet hits me, hit me!"

Everyone is indifferent, what else can they say about this kind of thing.

"The local people's outlook on life and death is largely due to the poor social environment. Although this country is independent, the domestic situation is always turbulent. The contradiction between the two largest ethnic groups, the Nuer and the Dinka, has always existed. "

"In addition to the worrying security situation, South Sudan's economic situation is also very bad. There is only limited agriculture in the country, and almost all industrial products rely on imports. The country's only important source of income is oil."

"Many local people are out of work, and can only set up a shed and sit on the side of the dirt road looking at the sky every day. Coupled with severe inflation, adults and children are starving, so robberies and violence often occur in the city."

"Even for civil servants in this country, the wages are pitifully low, with an average monthly salary of only about US$10, and even a few years ago, wages have gradually been unable to be paid."

Ding Xu listened, according to what the other party said, the laws of modern society have no effect here. There is a saying among the local Chinese that the instigators of many cases are actually the police and soldiers. They go to work during the day and take off their uniforms at night to rob.What's more, they will use their position to earn some extra money when they are on duty during the day.

"Their traffic management is chaotic. I bought my driver's license on the black market and I'm not very familiar with the local road conditions."

"I drove to the market to buy things that day. That road was one of the few roads with traffic lights, but there were no marking lines for straight lanes and turning lanes on the ground, so I parked the car in the right lane. Wait for the red light."

"At this time, the car behind me was obviously unhappy and kept honking its horn, but the red light had not turned green yet. I was in a dilemma and could only stay where I was."

"At this time, a traffic policeman suddenly came out from the side of the car. He knocked on the window and signaled me to get out of the car. At the same time, the red light turned green. I thought to myself that there was no marking line on the ground, and I did not violate it. Traffic rules, and I don't want to deal with the police, so I stepped on the gas and walked away."

"However, what I didn't expect was that the policeman stopped a small motorcycle and chased me all the way until the next traffic light intersection. He chased me and knocked on the window again to signal me to get off the car."

"This time I was cowardly, rolled down the car window, and replied very politely in English, "Good morning, police officer, what's the matter?"

"The traffic police asked very seriously, do you know that you violated our traffic rules just now? And you escaped after the violation?"

"In view of what you have just done, I will now turn you over to the South Sudan National Security Monitoring Center. Once there, you will first be fined 5000 South Sudanese pounds, and your violations will be recorded. It will affect your subsequent entry application."

"Hearing his exaggerated tone and the content of his narration, I probably have a clue in my heart. The staff of the Red Cross have had similar encounters before, and we have notified the principles of handling such incidents: first, don't give money; second, if you give money , you need to ask for an invoice; 30 According to local traffic regulations, the fine will generally not exceed [-] South Sudanese pounds."

"So when he opened his mouth and said 5000 South Sudanese pounds, I knew there was something tricky about it. It was just a foreshadowing to scare me."

"Sure enough, he immediately said that there is another solution. If you give me 1000 South Sudanese pounds, I will let you go. You will not leave any criminal record, as if nothing happened."

As he spoke, he curled his lips, clapped his hands and made a gesture of not owing each other.

I have seen through his tricks, but in order to get out, I can't directly point out that he is blackmailing me, but I have to find a way to talk to him in a roundabout way.

You see, first of all, I can go to the National Security Supervision Center you mentioned, but before I go, I have to report to the International Red Cross.Secondly, I can pay 5000 after going there, or I can give you 1000 here, as long as you can provide me with an invoice, I need the invoice to ask the Red Cross for reimbursement.

Of course he didn't have an invoice, so I went on to say: If there is no invoice, I can't pay so much fine.But look, I have a hundred and eighty South Sudanese pounds in my pocket now, and I have this money on me. If you want it, you can take it. I don’t want an invoice for this money, just treat it as me Individuals are out.

After listening to it, he thought about it for a while, maybe because he felt that some openings were better than nothing.So he readily agreed.

What Africans especially value is that you have to respect him, and you can’t have any tone or expression of disdain or contempt. If you coax him like a child, he will feel that he has been greatly respected, and then feel that you A good man, you are his brother.

Then he really regarded me as a brother, and did something that made me feel particularly unbelievable.

Turn around and go to the middle of the road, and stop all the cars in the four directions of the intersection?

Then make a gesture with me, signaling to let me go first!
I was really shocked at the time, thinking that no one except the president can have such treatment, right?

So he saluted him back, honked the horn, and drove the car away amidst the attention of all the cars.

Because the situation in South Sudan is unstable, we will contact the contact person at the destination before each flight to confirm whether the local security situation allows us to land safely.

On that day, we successfully picked up people in Bol and headed to Pibor. There will be a security officer in charge of clearing the landing site there, because curious locals like to watch the helicopter landing; in addition, he will also have a A walkie-talkie communicates with us, which is equivalent to a mobile tower.

We never saw the security officer in the air, and there was no reply after several calls.Then in the process of descending, I felt that something was wrong, and when I was about to land, I suddenly saw a group of people rushing out from the tribe a few hundred meters not far away. With shovels and bricks in their hands, I realized that this must not be the crowd that came to watch the helicopter.

At this moment, I heard a bang behind the cabin of the fuselage. My first reaction was that someone had thrown stones at the plane.At the same time, I also saw a local with a gun in his hand. He quickly grabbed the driving handle, pushed the lever, increased the speed, and quickly pulled up the helicopter and left the area.

Once back in the air, I explained to the captain that we had just been attacked!

Because he didn't see the group of people with his vision on that side, he didn't quite understand what I was talking about.I connected to the cabin again, and the mechanic sitting in the back told us that the cabin had just been pierced by a bullet.

It turned out that it was not a stone, but a bullet!

After landing, I saw the bullet hole, in the lower left corner of the cabin door, and if it had been a little bit off, it would have hit the Red Cross worker.If I had been slower to react, it is very likely that we would have explained it at that time.
