Chapter 1424: Thorns of Growth
In fact, these mercenaries did not have their mobile phones confiscated, and many of them called their homes or other people and played with their mobile phones to surf the Internet.
Buck didn't.
Ever since the radar listening post was destroyed in the south of Busuanga Island, he knows how crazy this kind of surveillance activity between countries has become, almost all voice calls or digital information exchanges will be monitored, the difference is only whether a certain ID number will be paid special attention to, and if some countries instigate these actions of Mahadev behind the scenes, the information of this small city of tens of thousands of people will be monitored to the point that not a single needle will be missed, so he does not even dare to buy an ordinary phone to report his safety to his family.
What's more, doesn't he have a phone, how strange it would be to buy another one.
But in the past two or three days, I bought Gu Lisha, an ordinary cheap tablet touch phone, which can play games and contact the Internet or something, because there is free WIFI everywhere in this tourist capital, so Gu Lisha will occasionally take it out and tinker, but obviously this girl from the Kurdish Mountains is not keen on this thing, according to her, she also has a mobile phone when she is teaching, but she can't actually contact the nomadic general home, it is just a friend and colleague contact in the city, and now this is also the case, she has no phone to call, and the main thing is that what she sees every moment is something new, how can she have the leisure to play with her mobile phone。
However, what is more interesting is that she also applied for some social software accounts in the Kurdish region, and at that time she wanted to get in touch with the outside world more, and she carefully explained to Buck that it was definitely not a water-based poplar.
Where does Buck care about this: "Now you take the initiative to add some local accounts around you and see what they are talking about." ”
It was already the middle of the night when she returned to the youth hostel, and Buck was naturally asleep without distractions, and Gulisa sat at the head of the bed next to him, intently flipping through the phone screen, and in the shadow of the corner of the narrow single bed against the wall, only a faint light reflected on her face.
This night the mercenaries were still going in and out of the terrace and dormitory of the youth hostel, drinking, smoking and chatting, for them this was just a not very smooth day at work, the other party responded unexpectedly quickly, steadily and ruthlessly suppressed the situation, everyone just called it a day early, and came back tomorrow.
But when the bright sunshine of the Indian Ocean returned to the city, Gulisha was a little stunned.
The girl who hadn't slept much all night had dark circles under her eyes, but the tiredness was gone, and Buck and the others had just come to the street, and there were traces of being smashed, looted, and burned everywhere, sandbags and isolation piles were placed in the main streets and alleys, and there were military police on duty everywhere to check passports!
Gurissa said to Buck with difficulty: "This ...... How does it feel like Iraq?"
For her, this is too unbelievable, the city has given her too good feelings in the past few days, the colors are bright, it seems that there is never a haze, everyone is smiling and full of kindness, the streets and alleys do not have to worry about bombs and do not need to think about shooting, walking on the road to see the bustling market, listening to the birds in the treetops, it is almost a realistic version of heaven, how did it become almost like the catastrophic Iraq overnight?
Buck has been looking down at her phone: "Heaven and hell are originally in a thought, there is a price to pay for being instigated to overthrow the order, the smaller the area, the smaller the price, and there is not much loss to stir it up often, but a big country can't withstand such a toss, Iraq used to be the strongest country in the Middle East, once the order is disrupted, it will be difficult to pick it up again." ”
Yes, the city is too small, surrounded by the sea, no matter how noisy it is, it is limited to this island, the surrounding island hotels and islands are basically controlled by investors, and will not be affected, even the airport has suspended the connection with the main island of the capital, and it has become an isolated island, now it seems that the walls are painted with slogans of resistance, glass windows are smashed, cars are burned, these things are easy to clean up, it is as if the people of the city are losing their temper, and they should do what they should do when they turn around, and it is only a matter of a day or two to restore order, and it is too difficult to change to those big countries。
On the mobile phone in Barker's hand, Gulisha collected all kinds of propaganda jokes, mocking the president, attacking corruption, hating outsiders, and shouting for the overthrow of the current government。
"Stop, show your passports!" military policemen in two or three uniforms reached out to stop Buck and the others, and behind the batons and heavily armed firearms, there was even a light explosion-proof vehicle on the street corner with the same fierce expression.
Buck and Gulisha both took out their Turkish passports, and temporarily handled them at that military base, which was full of genuine goods, and the other party saw that it was a couple who showed their tourist status, and they saluted and let them go with a very good attitude!
Then the white British companion who had been keeping a distance of three or five meters from them, although he had a South African passport, was immediately left behind and shouted to the side for interrogation!
Buck and Gulisa's distinctly Asian-Middle Eastern looks keep them off the blacklist!
This is almost the first time that Buck and Gulisha have come to this country and have been free without surveillance!
Pretending to look at it, saying that it had nothing to do with the unlucky Englishman, Buck took Gulisa and quickly disappeared around the street corner, casually found a restaurant that was still open, and turned to the table on the terrace on the second floor, while asking Gurisa to order, Buck was finally able to find the phone and turn on the phone to report to Lao Bai!
The phone also works well in an unobstructed area that can receive satellite signals, so Buck can't make a phone call in the bathroom.
Lao Bai was pleasantly surprised: "Okay! This matter has gone very well so far! You have made a great contribution!"
Seeing that Gulisha was still oscillating between several colorful dishes, Buck voiced his question: "Why didn't you just arrest us, and stop the incident?"
Lao Bai explained with a smile: "Diplomatic things are not so simple, firstly, these people have not done anything so far, there is no charge, and secondly, we cannot completely affect a sovereign country, not to mention that this is not our subordinates who only obey orders, saying too much, he also thinks that we closely monitor them, it will be counterproductive, we can only observe and assist from the sidelines, and show as little Huaguo elements as possible, Huaguo has never been aggressive, right?" And some things are not so much about exposing us, but about exposing the intentions of the other party after they happen, and alerting other countries that this is how the unjust and helpless people come about. ”
Buck described in detail the various details he observed, including the young woman who had been squatting in the hostel, Lao Bai was skillful: "That should be a clerical position, including the incitement words you saw, maybe she was moving, and it may also be an on-site command, but generally such a young person cannot be an operational commander......" Groan Lao Bai reminded:" Judging from the current situation and their size, it is imperative, and there may be a back-step, you need to pay attention to your own safety, and hide your identity, and evacuate quickly if necessary, our company and office can be used as your evacuation point...... With your subordinates there, speaking of which, we immediately asked the companies and offices to protect the surrounding expatriates and tourists at the first time, and your personnel have already done a job, which is good!"
This country is so small that it can't even be placed in the embassies of other countries, so the Chinese embassies are all concurrently served by the ambassador in other countries, and when such a thing happens, the local Chinese institutions can only perform the duty of protection, which is unprecedented.
The country's strength and self-confidence always have to grow bit by bit.
Although the future is so full of thorns.
