After greeting Vice Minister Guo, Foreign Minister Belle left, and Muyang boarded the minibus with Vice Minister Guo and Ambassador Liu, and the entourage also got on the bus, and the motorcade began to drive towards the embassy compound.

Looking at the four armored vehicles in front and behind, and all of them were fully armed, looking at the heavy machine guns erected on them, and the automatic rifles in the hands of the Chinese armed police and Somali soldiers, Vice Minister Guo took a deep look.

"Xiao Mu, I didn't introduce you just now, this is the new Somali ambassador, Liu Yunju, who used to be the administrative counselor of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and now he is transferred to the ambassador of Somalia." Vice Minister Guo said.

Muyang hurriedly handed over his hand and shook hands with Liu Yunju to greet him.

"Xiao Mu, you put on such a big formation, is it necessary, didn't you say that the new embassy is less than a kilometer away from the airport." Vice Minister Guo is still a little curious about Muyang's excitement.

"Al-Shabaab, which controls a third of the capital, Mogadishu, recently because Al-Shabaab's leader, Gudan, was killed by the Americans, so Al-Shabaab has embarked on a retaliatory attack that has become even more frenzied than before, and in recent times, it has been responsible for four or five car bombings and armed attacks in Mogadishu."

"We also have no choice but to protect the personal safety of you, Ambassador Liu and all the staff, but fortunately, this road is relatively short, if it is longer, I will ask President Hassan to send more troops to escort it."

After listening to Muyang's words, the original members of the resumption team did not react, and the entourage who came with them from China. The faces are not good-looking, among these people, except for the secretary and entourage brought by Vice Minister Guo. Most of the rest are embassy staff who will work in Somalia in the future, to put it bluntly, Somali diplomats.

Through the glass of the car, everyone also saw the scene of the streets of Somalia, which was full of rubble and broken walls, and traces of explosions and bullets could be seen everywhere. Many of the people on the streets carried rifles, and the eyes of the people looking at the convoy were full of vigilance.

Many of the entourage swallowed quietly. In the future, they will live and work here for a long time, hearing Muyang say this, everyone suddenly felt that their bodies were tight and their scalps were numb, and they felt that they would be in the future. It's really hard to get by.

Vice Minister Guo frowned and nodded. said, "It's been almost two months since you came to Somalia, so I'll explain the situation here more to Yunju and the staff, and let them get into the role as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, I see." Mu Yang replied.

That is, in a few words, the convoy arrived near the Chinese embassy, as it passed through the separation zone and checkpoints. Muyang introduced: "This is after consulting President Hassan, this road is closed. The main line of defense is to protect the security of the embassy, at least for now, car bomb attacks can be avoided, so that the security of the embassy will be greatly improved, and now the first line of defense is guarded by the Somali government army, maybe in the future, it can be replaced by our soldiers. ”

After speaking, Mu Yang smiled.

Vice Minister Guo nodded, "Very well done, I think it is very necessary, in Somalia, no matter how prudent the means are used, it is not too much." ”

The car entered the gate and parked in the parking lot in the courtyard, Muyang led everyone to get out of the car, although the main building of the embassy was only a two-story building, and there were only about two dozen rooms, but it was enough.

And the yard encircled by Muyang is not small, nearly the size of a football field, with yards in front and back, and this space is enough to use.

When everyone saw that the yard was very tidy, especially compared with the buildings outside Somalia, they knew that this was definitely a good place in Somalia.

Muyang first led everyone to turn around in the work area, living area, canteen, bathroom, rest area, and sports area.

Vice Minister Guo is very satisfied with the layout here, especially the anti-collision isolation zone and security measures, which are absolutely qualified.

In the small conference room, Vice Minister Guo convened a plenary meeting, and because the venue was relatively small, many of the participants could only stand in the back and listen.

"Here, on behalf of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Minister Yang, I would like to first commend the members of the team for the resumption of the museum, you have risked your lives under such difficult conditions in Somalia, and in such a short period of time, your spirit and work achievements are absolutely commendable and affirmative."

"Here, I would like to first announce the personnel appointments, and in accordance with the decision of the National People's Congress, the No. 1 leader has appointed Liu Yunju as China's ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the Federal Republic of Somalia."

"According to the decision of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zheng Yunliang was appointed as the political counselor of Somalia, Jiang Jia'an, Feng Chao, and Li Shanwen were appointed as second secretaries, and administrative staff were appointed ......"

Basically, the members of the reopening team have been retained, and with the addition of new staff, the Somali embassy is now considered to have been formed.

However, Vice Minister Guo did not mention Muyang, who is the leader of the resumption team.

Everyone glanced at Muyang intentionally or unintentionally, and finally, after Vice Minister Guo read out the letter of appointment, he also looked at Muyang and said: "As for Comrade Muyang, the party committee of the ministry has decided that it will not be announced here for the time being. ”

After a simple dinner, Muyang accompanied Vice Minister Guo, and the two walked in the courtyard of the embassy, the courtyard was not big, so both of them walked very slowly, pacing forward step by step, Vice Minister Guo said: "Do you have any thoughts on the arrangement of the ministry for you this time." ”

"Nope." Mu Yang replied simply.

"Hehe, it won't be wrong."

"Minister, it's really not, in fact, I have long been mentally prepared for this, I'm still young, you can find me when you do things, as for promotion, I'm not in a hurry for the time being. The Somali Embassy is at the level of the main hall at the administrative level, and I am only a cadre at the department level, so it is impossible to mention the main hall at once. Mu Yang said with a smile.

In fact, Zheng Yunliang is a deputy department-level cadre, and it is very appropriate to arrange a political counselor, and if Muyang is really arranged as an ambassador, to be honest, it is almost there.

"Don't worry, your work achievements are seen and recognized by the ministry, and in the future, there will be a more suitable place for you." Vice Minister Guo also said with a smile.

The next day, Vice Minister Guo led Ambassador Liu, Muyang, Zheng Yunliang and others to meet with Somali President Hassan.

As some passages on the Internet wrote, "the two sides had cordial and friendly conversations, introduced the traditional friendship between China and Somalia, and exchanged views on certain issues......"

Anyway, it's more nonsense than reality. (To be continued.) )
