The most important actionable goal is always to ensure Chen Yang's safety.
At the same time, there cannot be any restrictions on Chen Yang's actions.
No matter what request Chen Yang puts forward, regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, priority must be given to satisfying Chen Yang's request.
If encountering an unsatisfactory reality, Langya can also urgently get in touch with the country to strive for corresponding domestic support in terms of materials and personnel.
In a word, experimenting with new weapons is just by the way.
This group of people came to the Congo in Africa. It seems that the main task is to accompany Chen Yang on vacation under the premise of ensuring Chen Yang's personal safety...
Although such a cognition makes Langya feel absurd, from the reality, it is obviously so...
Therefore, under this background, Chen Yang put forward the corresponding request. Instead of continuing to watch the experimental results of new weapons in the camp, he hoped to go around and take a look at the customs and customs of various places in Congo. any reasons for disagreeing.
It's just that Langya couldn't let Chen Yang leave alone.
Even if Chen Yang showed enough personal strength before, Langya didn't want to take risks in this seemingly chaotic land.
Therefore, according to Langya's request, a whole combat platoon was arranged to accompany Chen Yang, responsible for ensuring Chen Yang's personal safety on the road.
The special warfare company has a total of only four combat platoons, with a total number of 120 people.
One of the combat platoons was arranged for 30 people to follow Chen Yang to leave, and naturally there were only [-] soldiers left in the temporary camp.
These soldiers need to take on various tasks such as night vigil, care of the temporary camp, trial of new weapons, etc., and it suddenly seems a bit stretched.
Chen Yang originally planned to suggest that Langya would assign his personnel and leave most of them, as long as there are two or three symbolic people following him.
In this case, the manpower in the temporary camp would not appear to be too short.
But such a proposal was rejected by Langya without hesitation.
With no other choice, Chen Yang could only bring [-] fighters with enough supplies, and started his own trip to the Congo.
This walk... is two full days.
Fortunately, the compressed biscuits, canned meat and drinking water carried by the thirty soldiers are enough to last for a week.
Otherwise, running around aimlessly like Chen Yang might starve people to death on the road...
"Mr. Chen, the location of our previous temporary camp is close to the Congo River, so it is actually on the border of the two Congos. The two small rebels we found can also be said to belong to the two Congos. .
It's just that they each had nothing to do with the rebellious Congo, so they finally fought each other.We have been heading northwest for the past two days, and now we have completely entered the territory of Congo (Brazzaville). "
The communication soldiers in the entire combat platoon also had to shoulder the role of scouting horses. They obviously knew the situation in the Congo side better, so when the town finally appeared in sight, they immediately opened their mouths to explain to Chen Yang.
In the past two days, everyone was just walking in the jungle. The town that appeared before them was the first time they saw people.
Therefore, Chen Yang's mood became better, and he asked: "What is the name of this town, do you know?"
"Mr. Chen, judging from where we are now, this town should be Gamboma, which is located on the left bank of the Nkeni River, a tributary of the Congo River. It is located at the throat of the capital leading to the northern region. It is an important station on the Suo highway. Nearby is a tobacco producing area with a primary tobacco processing industry. There is an air station.”
The communications soldier spoke according to the specific coordinates displayed by the satellite locator in his hand.
"Sounds good? Let's go in and have a look. I've eaten compressed biscuits and canned food for two days. We've also improved the food. This town looks a bit big, and there should be real restaurants. Oh... by the way, you guys Do you have any money on you? I don’t know what currency is used here, and I came out in a hurry, and I didn’t have time to exchange it.”
Chen Yang asked while striding towards the town not far away.
"The official currency used by Congo Brazzaville is the China-Africa Financial Cooperation Franc, which is a kind of African Franc. The current official exchange rate is almost one hundred to one with our country's currency exchange rate. It is our country's one dollar, It can be exchanged for 100 CFA francs. Of course, if it is exchanged on the black market, it can be exchanged for more.
When it came out this time, the higher-ups gave each of us an extra 50 CFA francs for emergencies.According to the per capita income and consumption of Congo (Brazzaville), this money is more than enough to live in Congo for one or two months.After all, the per capita income here is only about 400 yuan per month. "
The communications soldier replied.
"As long as you have money, let's go and go to the tooth-fighting festival. I hope the food here will not be too disappointing, as long as it is better than compressed biscuits!"
Chen Yang said with a smile.
A group of people quickly stepped into Gamboma.
It is said to be a town, but it actually looks quite crude. If evaluated by domestic standards, it is at most a larger village.
There are low bungalows and sheds everywhere, and buildings with more than two floors are extremely rare.
The streets are dominated by dirt roads, with sewage flowing and garbage everywhere...
After seeing Chen Yang and his party, the people in the town all showed curious expressions.
Obviously, in this country, yellow people are rarely seen.
Although the soldiers in the combat platoon were all armed and fully armed, there was not much panic and fear in the eyes of the common people.
The frequent wars have made the people here accustomed to seeing guns.
After walking for a long time, Chen Yang finally saw a simple roadside stall that should be regarded as a restaurant.
Since there are only a few dirty tables, there is no room for 30 people to eat at the same time, so half of the people will eat first, and the other half will be vigilant.
When the owner of the restaurant saw so many soldiers who were obviously not easy to mess with suddenly appearing in his shop, a nervous expression appeared on his face.
However, as the messenger put ten [-] CFA francs in front of the boss, the nervous expression on the boss's face was immediately replaced by excitement and excitement.
660.6 Sixty Chapters of Congo
There's not much this store can do.
Saka-saka, made from cassava leaves, is the main food of this shop.
Cassava itself is dipped in potato sticks made of fish soup, which is also a staple food.
In addition, there are dishes made of dried salted fish mixed with eggplant, fried plantains, grilled fish and big pot rice to choose from.
The so-called big pot of rice is actually a bit of a random stew.
It's just that the big pot of rice here makes people lose their appetite.
You can't even tell what's in there.
What's even more frightening is that Chen Yang also saw fruit bats that were also pickled in the place where pickled dried fish was hung in front of the store!
This is a fairly large bat.
The largest fruit bats, with their wings spread, can even reach a length of two meters.
In fact, if you want to talk about eating this thing...it can indeed be eaten.
After all, there is a famous dish in the south of China called Fushou soup, and the main ingredient is bat.
But the problem is, there should not be many people who can really overcome the psychological barrier and eat this thing...
But judging from the actions of this store, using fruit bats as food is probably acceptable to most people in Congo.
Although he felt that the hygienic conditions could not be guaranteed at all, but everything had already been made, and he had been wanting to have a toothbrush before, so Chen Yang had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat.
Surprisingly, the taste is barely enough.
Well... at least it's better than compressed biscuits...
Anyway, his current eighth-level strengthened body, not to mention invulnerable to all poisons, is not much worse.
Even if these foods are unclean, it is impossible for his body to eat problems, even diarrhea is impossible.
Of course, the soldiers of the battle platoon who came with him could only ask for more blessings.
However, considering that the special forces members who came for this operation are all very strong and belong to the elite among the elite, then with the support of this kind of physical fitness, even if the food is not very clean, they should also nothing will go wrong...
Soon the two groups of people finished eating, and the shop owner was so busy that he was sweating profusely. He didn't know how much sweat was mixed into the food they ate before.
This kind of thing cannot be thought of.
Once you think about it... most of the restaurants, you can't eat...
After settlement, there are a total of more than 7000 CFA francs, and the exchange cost is only 970 yuan, which is just over 32 yuan per capita, which is really not expensive.
Just considering the local income level, this price has nothing to do with being cheap.
Chen Yang is not worried about whether they will be slaughtered. With the clothes of this group of people and the appearance of being armed with live ammunition, if the shop owner dares to slaughter customers, in Chen Yang's opinion, he has such courage. He deserves the money he earns.
In the warm farewell sound of the shop owner, Chen Yang and his party left the small shop.
Such a meal today is estimated to be able to catch up with the shop owner's usual month's income.
From this point, we can see why we should vigorously develop the tourism industry.
Compared with traditional industries, the tourism industry does have a huge advantage in terms of the difficulty and efficiency of making money.
After wandering around Gamboma City for a while, when he came to a vegetable market, Chen Yang's eyes suddenly brightened.
Because among a large group of poorly dressed black people who could even be called ragged, a tall and thin black man with extremely eye-catching clothes suddenly appeared.
A high-end burgundy suit, trousers, and bow tie, paired with a pure white shirt, with a shoulder pattern on the lower right shoulder, and burgundy leather shoes that also look like expensive brands.
Wearing high-end sunglasses and an unknown gold watch on his wrist.
Among the poorly clad blacks around him, this black man was dressed like the sun among the stars, dazzling and dazzling, covering up the brilliance of all the stars.
"En? Is this a local rich man? Why don't you travel by car? There is no entourage, so close to the people?"
Chen Yang asked curiously.
The pair of glasses that can be used as an information collector were not worn on his face.
The poor local network construction in Congo made Chen Yang's glasses almost directly become a pure decoration after entering the territory of Congo.
After the communications soldier glanced at the man, a contemptuous application appeared on his face.
He opened the mouth and said: "It's not a local rich man, just like the others around, they are just ordinary people, but this kind of people have another name for themselves, they call themselves Sapp, they are a group of guys who are obsessed with famous brand clothes and shoes.
Their income is basically the average income of the local area, and they do all kinds of very ordinary jobs on weekdays. Some of them have a slightly higher income, maybe they are government officials, but they never consider themselves when buying famous brand clothes. income situation.
These people wear bright clothes and show their feathers back and forth on the dirty streets every day. They also have their own organization called the Sapp Association, which means the Association of Elegant People.To become a Sapp, one must own at least three sets of different luxury suits and leather shoes.
And the suits and leather shoes of these luxury brands must be authentic.Think about it, that kind of luxury suit would be a heavy burden even for ordinary people in our country, let alone here where the living standard is extremely poor. "
Chen Yang was very surprised, and asked, "Huh? What is this picture?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's to save face? It's just like some little girls in China will go wrong to get money and then buy luxury bags. When the Apple mobile phone first came out, it wasn't true that someone sold their kidneys to buy a mobile phone. Is it? Once the vanity of comparison rises, it will be extremely difficult to suppress it."
The communications soldier shrugged and continued: "In short, this group of people looks glamorous, but in fact they are all full of gold and rot. Many people don't even raise their families, and let their children have no clothes to wear and eat. If you don't have enough food, you have to spend several years of income to buy a pair of luxury leather shoes.
I never think about how to change my poor life, and I never pay attention to the difficulties of my family. I even try to make money at all costs, just to be able to buy more luxury goods.Even if they live in a dilapidated house that may collapse at any time, as long as there are designer suits hanging on the wall, they will be satisfied.
All in all, it seems to me that this is a very sick group of people, but considering that there are such people in every country, it is not surprising. "
Chen Yang nodded slowly, and said, "Yes, there are people like this in every country, but those who have achieved this extreme level... are too few after all. Let's go, and then go to other places to see."
Chapter 661.661 Knowledge of the Congo
After wandering around Gambomane for half a day, Chen Yang led the crowd to continue northward.
Tasting the food in Congo and seeing the real situation in the town gave Chen Yang a deeper understanding of the world.
Compared with the glamor of the first world and the second world countries, the miserable scene of the third world countries is indeed like hell on earth.
Although there are a large number of poor and low-income people in developed countries.
But taking the Eagle Country as an example, those low-level people living in the Eagle Country, even if they don’t have any source of income, actually don’t need to worry about food.
Because the government will distribute a large number of food coupons for relief.
These food rolls are certainly not enough for people to live a relatively comfortable life, but it is no problem just to fill their stomachs.
At the same time, there are corresponding official child-rearing policies.
A large number of black people living at the bottom, once it is determined that they are single mothers with children, the government will issue a fixed monthly relief fund.
The more children there are, the more government relief payments will be.
These relief funds are also not enough to allow a black single-parent family to live a comfortable life, but they are also enough to ensure that this black single-parent family can raise their children to adulthood without any burden.
Therefore, when many black women do not want to go out to work, or cannot find a suitable job, they will simply choose to conceive and have children, and ensure their basic life by eating relief money.
And such welfare benefits are simply impossible to exist in third world countries.
Even leaving aside the most powerful eagle country, just looking at the representative of my country, a developing country, is enough to see how unimaginable the gap is.
Since the complete opening of the national economy, the overall living standards of our residents have been greatly improved.
However, this improvement is at the expense of the widening gap between the rich and the poor.
