"Can Mogadishu buy a car like this?"

The Chinese peacekeeper, who was waiting for another comrade-in-arms to drive the minibus over, expressed skepticism that Somalia was not a good place to visit.

If someone drives around in such a flamboyant car, they may be robbed at any time.

Looking at the car door that was bulging outward, and then slowly slid open to the side, Li Bai said: "I ordered it from the United States and shipped it directly to Mogadishu. ”

The minibus that was about to pick up people to the camp drove over, and the Chinese peacekeeper who acted as the driver was also dumbfounded.

With the huge A-type car and the small compartment in the back, he suddenly felt that he and the minibus were completely redundant.

"Luggage in a small car, people in a big car?"

"Correct solution!"

Several others made their choice at once.

There is such a comfortable and spacious RV, why don't you want to drive to squeeze that dirty, dusty little minibus.

Shen Zhiqing, who followed the peacekeepers to look for business opportunities, sat on the sofa of the RV, patted the jade cushion, and looked around curiously, only one sentence.

"This, there's money!"

He is a business person, so he is naturally knowledgeable.

Others began to find their seats to sit down.

In a 14-meter RV, in addition to the front and co-pilot, it is not difficult to sit for seven more people, and the seats are spacious.

"Participating in a peacekeeping mission with this, tsk, tsk, too rich, what the hell do you think. ”

Xie Jiangyuan, a civil servant from Sanqin Province, also smacked his lips, envious and envious, but he didn't understand.

Somalia is not a tourist country, there are no scenic spots, the roads are average, the security is poor, driving such an RV, it is more convenient, but the goal is too big, the gains outweigh the losses.

Sun Nanjiang was the last to get in the car, and when he heard Xie Jiangyuan's words, he said: "You came directly from the airport, did not enter the city, if there is no car, I'm afraid we won't be able to get over the dark, there is a section of the road just in the war, corpses are all over the field, especially tragic, don't look at this is just an RV, but it can block bullets, safety first!"

The fat man bragged about it.

"Wait, stop the bullets?

I heard that there was a war going on in the city, and Xie Jiangyuan knew about it, but when it came to bulletproof, he didn't believe it.

After all, it's not a film and television drama, and things like using the car body to block bullets are basically nonsense in reality.

Except for the engine part, the other positions are a thin layer of iron, which cannot block the penetration of the bullet at all, and even the pistol bullet is enough to choke.

"You go look at the window glass!"

Sun Nanzheng was proudly showing off.

Others looked at the windows and immediately noticed something unusual.

It's not one layer of glass, it's two, and it's extra thick.

"See, it's bulletproof glass, and the body is lined with Kevlar and bulletproof ceramic plates, which can block the frontal fire of small-caliber rifles. ”

Sun Nan is playing with the introductions that Li Bai once said.

Xie Jiangyuan said suddenly: "It's really thick!"

"Not only can it be used to pretend to be forced, but it can also be used to save lives at critical moments, this is one more life!"

Without Li Bai's reminder, Sun Nanzheng realized the most prominent of the many benefits of this RV.

In war-torn areas, ballistic vehicles are more important than money.

Banknotes can't save lives, but bulletproof cars can.

As for armored vehicles or something, in war-torn areas they are simply a live target to attract RPGs and missiles, and on many specific occasions, even body armor cannot be worn casually, which can easily cause misunderstandings.

But civilian vehicles will not, who knew that such an RV like a bus could actually prevent the fire attack of small-caliber weapons, and the people in the car undoubtedly had an extra layer of protection.

"How expensive is that?"

Shin Ji-kyung, a businessman, felt a toothache.

Bulletproof RV, more expensive than he had previously estimated.

The domestic passenger is only 100,000 yuan, and the high-end 3 million yuan is already amazing, I am afraid that this RV converted from a bus is more than this number.

"Six million dollars!"

Li Bai started the vehicle and followed the minibus that picked up the people.

The two blue-hat peacekeepers were on the bus, and there was no one in the back seat, all of them were bags of Xiao Li's luggage.

Xie Jiangyuan and Shen Zhiqing glanced at each other, and said with a sigh: "It's enough to buy armored cars, right?"

Li Bai said while driving the car: "Armored cars are not as convenient as this, you see, washing clothes and cooking, bathing and going to the toilet, sleeping, watching TV, working, and surfing the Internet, and it is not used to fight wars, the RV is just enough, I also bought a C-type RV, which is cheaper, but the internal space is too compact, and it is not so convenient." ”

In this shabby place in Somalia, even if it is the capital Mogadishu, the functions of the government are the same, if it were placed in China, it would have been sprayed alive by the 18th Road Keyboard Warrior.

The road is full of potholes, some of which are old, some of which are traces of war, and dirt roads can be seen everywhere.

When you get to the suburbs, it gets even worse.

The minibus in front of the road is not shock-absorbing, bumping up and down, banging and banging, and the luggage inside is also jumping up and down.

Obviously, it was undoubtedly prescient for a few people from afar to choose to sit in an RV with better shock absorption.

The fragile things are carried by everyone, at least they don't look at the minibus in front of them and worry about it.

Even so, Li Bai's RV still fluctuated slowly, as if driving on the sea with rising waves.

Fortunately, when customizing, it is required to raise the chassis and use coarse off-road tires with better road adaptability, otherwise you really can't eat the road conditions here.

The road is broken here, except for the ability to shake the car, there is simply no other advantage.

After more than an hour of bumpy driving, I finally saw the camp of the Chinese peacekeepers.

As a well-armed and heavily armed combat force, it is certainly not allowed to stay in the city of Mogadishu.

It has been divided by large and small forces, and if you add a Chinese team, you have to fry the pot.

So the camp was set up near a small town 50 kilometers from the outskirts of Mogadishu, and before the camp was established, it was completely a bush with snakes, insects, rats and ants, and it took a week to clean it up and workers to enter the site safely.

As a small camp randomly zoned out, don't even think about the three links of water and electricity.

Thanks to the fact that some of the Chinese people are infrastructure madness, they pulled out a team to bid for tender, and they did it directly.

If there is no water, build a small water purification station in a nearby river.

No electricity, diesel motors, wind turbines, solar power panels, multi-pronged.

All kinds of construction machinery worked hard for two months before the entire camp was brought out of its basic appearance.

It's not that you can build the camp all at once without sleeping in three shifts, the cement has to be dry!

It is certainly impossible to spend a lot of money on quick-drying cement, and each stage can only stay honestly for half a month before continuing the next step of construction.

When the minibuses and RVs drove up a 100-meter-long cement road at the entrance of the camp, the buildings inside had been built, the scaffolding was being dismantled, and some greenery could be seen.

"One, two, three, we are soldiers......"

There were people in the camp singing, no doubt Chinese soldiers.

Looking at the past, there are blue hats everywhere.

The blue hat is the logo of the peacekeeping force, and if anyone has to wear a green hat, it is ...... Why not think about it!

As soon as the RV that followed the minibus into the camp appeared, it naturally attracted countless attention.

People who don't know are still guessing which big guy is coming, and their eyes are all gathered, until Sun Fatzi is the first to get off the train, and then there is a group of rabble who don't stand up.

There are people from all walks of life, and it is a compliment to say that it is a rabble.

The camp did not say that it was not allowed to bring your own vehicle, especially if it was such a large A-type RV, it was inevitable that it would be dazzling.

The area of the camp is not small, there is still a place to park, the RV plus the trailer behind it, the whole length goes straight to 20 meters, a car on the roof of three or four cars is so long, it is like a car wall, not very good to park with ordinary vehicles.

So at the end of the armored car with the UN logo, the shiny RV looked indescribably out of place.
