Chapter 201 (Chapter 201 (Second update)...)

After Song Yao heard that the army had successfully contacted the embassy, ​​he happily drank an extra bowl of soup.

"I knew our embassy in Zhongzhou would be fine!"

He picked up another piece of braised pork: "To celebrate, I want to eat more meat!"

Zhao Xiaodong quickly snatched the meat away with quick eyes and hands: "You are congratulating yourself for eating your own, why are you eating my braised pork?"

Song Yao, who failed to take away the meat, could only reluctantly put the chopsticks on his braised pork.

Because this dish is quite fatty, they cannot eat more of it.

It is precisely because they can't eat too much that the children's "kind of like" suddenly increased to "very much like".

Even daily joke bribery has turned into using "a piece of braised pork" as a bribery tool.

Song Yao ate a piece of braised pork and suddenly thought:

"I wonder if our evacuation troops in Zhongzhou can eat braised pork. It must be very hard to travel so far away. When they come back, let's use the money to buy meat and donate it to the troops!"

They were very aggressive with spending money and have been busy working on projects for the past six months. Because they had few opportunities to spend money, they managed to save a rare amount of money.

The state manages food, drink and housing, and funds for projects are funded by the state. Even when they go shopping to buy snacks and toys every day, brother Yuan Jiang is responsible for paying for them. The two children who once had to make cash to buy a lock are no ordinary people now. rich.

But no matter how rich you are, you still have money. At least Zhao Xiaodong proposed:

"It seems we don't have enough money, right? There are so many people going this time. Even if one person only eats two pieces of braised pork, that's a lot of money."

Song Yao thought so, but it didn't matter, he was very good at settling for the next best thing:

"Then we should work hard on projects and make great things that can be sold to other countries and make our Central Continent richer. It must be very expensive for our Central Continent to raise troops."

Take this evacuation of overseas Chinese as an example. It’s not just the weapons that are difficult to evacuate.

Song Yao knew that he could not imagine the hardships and dangers involved in bringing more than 70,000 people back to China.

"We just do what we are good at, and then let the People's Liberation Army feel free to do what they know."

Lu Ju, who was at the table next to him, would have wanted to go up and touch Song Yao's head if he hadn't been eating.

"Yes, Yao'er, I noticed that you are getting better and better at speaking... When did you steal my meat?! Give it back to me!!!"

"You stole a piece from me yesterday! This is what you give back to me!"

Seeing the two children quarreling again, Lu said: "..."

After seeing Yuan Jiang as calm as ever, he said again: "..."

It seems that he still has to study hard with Comrade Yuan Jiang.

The People's Liberation Army soldiers in the distance didn't know that someone was caring about them, and they were also eating.

After putting down the chopsticks for only a minute, they gathered together again and started to clear the way.

Because there were more than a hundred injured in urgent need of treatment in the embassy, ​​they needed to clear the road to the nearest hospital in the shortest possible time.

While clearing the road, I shouted with a loudspeaker. I found quite a few overseas Chinese from Central Continent scattered along the way.

The thugs in this area were originally planning to retaliate against Nakasu for the conflict he had with them at the embassy.

After Zhongzhou put the long pipe on the car and launched a 360-degree rotating sweep, the thugs instantly forgave Zhongzhou for his previous behavior and expressed that their branch was willing to make peace with Zhongzhou's troops.

After all, compared to the Central Continent evacuation force with a country behind them and well-equipped equipment (all their family members had escaped), their weapons and manpower seemed a little crude.

When the Central Continent soldiers began to clear the road, due to the spontaneous disappearance of the thugs, the people of the U country who were hiding everywhere also boldly walked out of their hiding places slowly.

After observing with timid eyes for a long time, he found that the army had accepted several people who were rushing over, and then he cautiously stepped forward and asked if they were the army and if they could be taken away.

Those Central Continent expatriates who rushed to the past and cried and laughed also responded:

"This is our evacuation force from Central Continent, not the army of country U. They are here to take us home."

Seeing the disappointed expressions on the faces of these U people who had suffered in the flames of war like themselves, these Central Continent expatriates sympathized with them and at the same time felt deeply grateful in their hearts that they were Central Continent people.

A soldier came to urge them: "Comrade, get in the car. It is still dangerous outside. We will take you to the embassy first. When the ship and plane arrive, we will arrange for everyone to return home."

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work. We'll go up now."

They boarded the bus with excitement. It was a local bus purchased by the Central Continent Army after communicating with those in power.

It was simply spray-painted with the word "Zhongzhou" written on it, and a huge national flag was carefully painted next to it.

The expatriates from Central China who were rescued along the way were placed on this bus, sandwiched in the middle of the safest troop convoy.

The car was driving rickety, and these expats, who had no idea whether they would survive the day before, sat in the car and looked at the passing hell scenes through the gaps in the car curtains.

Only at this moment did they clearly realize that the country had come to pick them up, and they no longer had to suffer in such a hell on earth.

A newlywed couple who came here for a trip stayed close to each other.

They had seen many separations and separations in the past few days, and they didn't want to separate even if they were safe.

They couldn't bear to look outside anymore and closed the curtain again:

"Do you think we can go home?"

"Yes, it must be possible."

The convoy drove through the ruins, and the flag of Central Continent beside the car fluttered in the wind.

In just three hours, the evacuation force completed the cleanup of the nearest hospital and obtained permission from the local forces (facing the Zhongzhou armed convoy) to legally use the hospital.

On the way, more than 200 overseas Chinese from Central China were rescued.

Because there are many hotels on that road, most of these expatriates come to country U for tourism or business trip, so the statistics are quite easy.

"The plane will arrive tonight. We are already discussing with the local forces to use the airport. If communication at the airport is not smooth, we have already found three locations for the plane to land..."

The troops were discussing in detail the next evacuation plan with members of the embassy.

"It is expected that a large aircraft will arrive at eight o'clock tonight, a military aircraft and a sub-military aircraft will arrive at nine o'clock. The frigates and ships will arrive later and will not arrive until about noon the day after tomorrow, so we will arrange the first aircraft evacuation tonight. , evacuate the expats from the embassy and the workers from the Zhongzhou factory.”

The comrades in the embassy nodded repeatedly:

"Understood, then shall we evacuate the overseas Chinese in order of priority?"

Knowing that there would be a follow-up ship, they were relieved.

At least this way, the expatriates who are not the first batch can have hope, and it will be easier for them to do their jobs.

"No, the plan is that we will evacuate all the expats in the embassy and factories in the first batch."

Everyone in the embassy was shocked: "All of them? Only three planes? I'm afraid they can't carry so many people, right??"

The officer actually felt that it was a bit unsettling to use three planes to evacuate so many people. He only accepted this arrangement after repeatedly asking his leaders.

"That mainframe can accommodate 3,500 people. Plus the other two, it is completely sufficient."

"Three thousand five hundred people?!!"

Everyone in the embassy was stunned.

"Can it hold so many people? Which airline is it from?"

In fact, the officer had the same reaction when he first heard it. Now it was his turn to explain the confusion with a slightly reserved smile:

"It's not a foreign aircraft, it's our country's own aircraft, our own in Zhongzhou."

"Our own plane?!"

Sure enough, the comrades who heard it, whether young or old, reacted exactly the same as he did before.

"Are our planes in Zhongzhou so powerful?"

"My first reaction just now was that our country spent a lot of money to rent a plane from some country, and it turned out to be our own."

After they were happy, they couldn't wait to start making simple boarding passes.

When the time comes, there must be no chaos when so many people get on the plane together, so a simple boarding pass will be necessary.

The expats suddenly learned that everyone had a boarding pass, and they were extremely surprised. Some even asked repeatedly:

"Comrade, can everyone really get on the plane tonight? Is it really tonight?"

Then you will receive the same patient answer no matter how many times you ask:

"It's really, really tonight, uncle, just wait and see. Tonight, you and your family will be able to get on the plane. You will be home tomorrow night. Come on, here is your boarding pass. Take it. alright."

After saying that, he continued to register the next one: "Girl, let's check the information..."

People from country D looked on with envy.

After the communication at the Central Continent Embassy was restored, they also regained contact with their country and learned that due to the intensification of civil strife, their country's evacuation troops could not enter the central area at all.

In other words, at least for the past few days, there is no hope for the evacuation of expatriates in the central area of ​​country D.

While he was enviously watching Zhongzhou handing out boarding passes, a comrade from the Zhongzhou Embassy came over:

"It is estimated that there should still be some seats left on the plane for our evacuation of overseas Chinese. I just communicated with the leaders of our country. Our country should be able to bring some nationals from country D to the evacuation tonight. Of course, if there are not enough seats, If so, you may have to wait for the next batch.”

This is simply providing help in times of need. This is different from the previous situation where country D promised to bring some overseas Chinese. At that time, country D accepted Zhongzhou's help, and it was unjustifiable not to reciprocate.

But now, before they took the initiative to speak, Zhongzhou, who had helped them once before, took the initiative to speak.

It's so generous and considerate!

The members of the embassy of Country D were moved and nodded gratefully:

"Okay, okay, we understand. Of course, when evacuating overseas Chinese, we must first focus on the people in our own country. We will fully cooperate with you. If there are really not enough places, we will be very grateful if we only send away the children."

Since the evacuation of overseas Chinese can be done for free, they will naturally not ask for too much.

"Okay." Comrade Zhongzhou, who was responsible for communicating with them, nodded: "Don't worry, even if we can't make room, we can let our overseas Chinese hold the children."

Country D naturally expressed his sincere thanks again.

Seeing the people from the Central Continent Embassy hurriedly continue their work after talking to them, they felt relieved while letting go of a small amount of pressure.

"I said before that our country would help Zhongzhou, but I didn't expect that it would be Zhongzhou's evacuation force that came to help us in the end."

"Fortunately, we have come to seek refuge in Central Continent. If we are lucky this time, we may be able to send everyone to safety in Central Continent."

"After all, they are friendly countries, so willing to help us at critical moments."

"But Zhongzhou is indeed different from the past. It can evacuate so many people at once, and it can also evacuate people from our D country. This strength cannot be underestimated. We should report it to the country well after returning to the country."

All I can say is that fortunately Zhongzhou is a friendly country.

Being able to become a friendly country with a country that is constantly on the rise is also beneficial to their D country.

While the D-people were still actively planning to help, part of the Zhongzhou troops had already separated and were on their way to the Zhongzhou factory.

Although the country is in a period of civil strife, the flow of information is not slow at all. Not only the Zhongzhou factory can receive the news that the Zhongzhou evacuation troops are in u, but almost all the larger armed forces have already heard about it.

No one wants to offend a country's evacuation forces unless they are very few.

An evacuation force like Zhongzhou that sent out a large number of soldiers, weapons, and even air weapons almost had the words "Don't mess with me" posted on their cars.

This is almost without saying that if Zhongzhou can send so many soldiers, it can send more people.

Many forces that had no impression of Central Continent before now realized that Central Continent is a country with a large population. Although there has been no news about it, and it is said that it is very backward, but it can send so many armed soldiers out, I am afraid that the backwardness is only a thing of the past.

No one wanted to cause trouble. After the news spread, they were basically released after seeing the Central Continent troops.

Even some people who were originally unscrupulous and would kill them regardless of whether they saw people from Central China began to consciously restrain themselves.

This is actually very common.

Just like when someone bullies a child, if his parents come, just stand by and the person will not dare to do anything again.

As a result, the evacuation troops from Nakasu went to the factory and walked through the roads safely.

It's not as difficult as imagined, but it's not easy either.

After all, this is a country in a period of civil strife, and any kind of situation may be encountered. Just because the local forces do not take action against them does not mean that some individuals will not take action. All the soldiers remained vigilant along the way, holding guns in their hands. Always move steadily in the direction you are responsible for.

When they arrived at this remote area, the surrounding factories became more visible to the naked eye.

Some are burning, and some have been burned. From time to time, dead local workers wearing workers' clothes can be seen on the ground. With just a glance, it can be seen that they were killed while escaping.

A young soldier in charge of the investigation looked at the huge string of u words on the back of the worker who was facing the ground, and then looked at the burned factory behind him.

When they just passed by, the same slang was written on the plaque that was knocked down at the door of the factory.

"It seems that when the factory was attacked, the workers inside ran out and were hunted down."

"Everyone on alert! Don't let your guard down!"

All the soldiers were ready for battle. They set their guns and looked at the area they were responsible for with sharp eyes.

Some U-country thugs occasionally heard the noise and looked over, but looking at the heavily armed motorcade and the Central Continent flag flying above, they did not dare to shoot.

Lying on the highest point, he tried his best to look over at a worker who shouted in surprise:

"I'm coming!!"

"Where?! Did you read that correctly?!!"

Director Hao immediately crawled over from the side, squinting hard to see clearly ahead.

"Then! Director, did you see that, that is our Zhongzhou fleet, and there is a national flag on it!"

Director Hao squinted his eyes for several seconds: "Yes, yes, I saw it, it is really our national flag of Zhongzhou!! The evacuation troops are really here!!"

He slid down quickly: "I have to inform everyone!"

Just like an embassy, ​​this time the Central Continent evacuation troops were still greeted with open iron doors and cheers from the people.

Director Hao literally ran all the way here, crying and laughing at the same time, and almost couldn't speak clearly.

"Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, thank you for coming. Really, I almost couldn't bear it..."

This northern man, who was in his fifties and had always been very reliable since the accident, held the hands of his comrades in the army and literally burst into tears.

The three factory directors were under great pressure.

Every time a factory fell down around them, they couldn't sleep at night. When gunshots were fired, their hearts would beat fast for a long time. So many people's lives were behind them. They were afraid!

"Thank you country, thank you very much. We have nothing to fear after you come..."

When Director Hao cried, other workers couldn't help but wipe away their tears.

Even if they have seen such scenes many times, the eyes of the military comrades will still feel sore when they see it again.

"Okay, let's check in and get on the bus. We have to catch the evening flight."

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was still crying were surprised: "Can we leave tonight?!"

"Great! Great!! We can go home!"

They were all ready to transfer from train to train and then to ship. They didn't expect to be able to fly so smoothly. They couldn't have dreamed it would be so beautiful.

There are also people who hesitate when registering themselves:

"Comrade, my husband also works in our factory. He is from the U country. We have two children. Can we let them go with us?"

"Yes, yes, comrade, my wife is too."

"And me and my wife too, can we go together? If not... I can't go either."

If you work locally, you will naturally get married and have children there. It is quite common for couples to be workers in the three factories.

The young soldier in charge of registration hesitated. It was his first time doing registration work and he had no experience in this area. He could only answer:

"It stands to reason that when we evacuate overseas Chinese, we can only evacuate our own citizens... I need to ask the chief, please wait a moment."

Seeing him leaving in a hurry, those Zhongzhou workers who had family members from the U country could only wait nervously and expectantly.

They also know that their request is a bit excessive. To evacuate overseas Chinese means to evacuate their own citizens.

The country spends a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is impossible to use limited resources on non-citizens.

But... these are their relatives.

The young soldier came back quickly, with brisk steps and a smile on his face, and said loudly:

"Sir, the family members have also been evacuated together. As long as they show enough identification, they can get on the plane."

Everyone cheered, and the excitement in their hearts was about to burst out.

More than a dozen buses came in handy again, and everyone was crowded into the carriages. Only vulnerable groups such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly had seats, and the rest were standing.

But no one complained, everyone was immersed in the joy of going home.

The vehicle swayed, and a mixed-race child suddenly screamed and covered his eyes.

The adults looked outside and saw that several u-country thugs were standing in the field looking at them with guns in hand. More than a dozen people appeared behind them, all with weapons in their hands.

His face turned pale instantly, and he hurriedly squeezed forward to block the car window. He reflexively protected his daughter and wife behind him, and always looked at these people warily.

But until the vehicle swayed slowly past this small road, the thugs had no intention of taking action, and even took a few steps back to show that they meant no harm.

Then he stood there and watched the vehicles slowly leave.

After the child regained consciousness, he became bolder again. He turned to look at the thugs left behind and whispered:

"Dad, they didn't beat us, should I still hide?"

"Yes, don't be afraid, we can get on the plane soon."

"But weren't they fierce before? Why don't they hit us now?"

Her father relaxed and said with a smile:

"Because our parents came to take us home."
