One day later, the cargo ship successfully passed through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and headed for its destination.

Two warships also arrived at the Djibouti Port Supply Base, bringing valuable support to the officers and soldiers stationed here.

Inside the base, Wang Wusheng, the chief officer stationed here, held a small glass of liquor in his hand and said to Hu Shuming:

"I hope for the stars and the moon, and finally my mother's family is here!"

"Today I'm here to cleanse you from the wind. Don't drink too much wine. Let's take a sip each and express our feelings!"

After hearing Wang Wusheng's words, Hu Shuming didn't hesitate, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

In fact, in this era before Prohibition, it was not strange for the troops to drink.

Even in many places, beer is served in the back-end cafeteria every Wednesday and Friday for dinner events, of course, but the quantity is not that much.

At this time, there was also a popular drinking order in the army, which was for the three armies to have a good time after the battle. That is to say, drink three drinks at the beginning, and then fight separately.

It can be seen that the attitude towards drinking is relatively open internally.

——

But in Djibouti, the situation is completely different.

Wang Wusheng strictly controls drinking in the base and does not let go even on important occasions like now.

It's said to be drinking, but in fact it's just a ritual.

After drinking a glass, Hu Shuming was not drunk at all. He pulled Wang Wusheng to sit down, and then said with concern:

"You've worked hard. It's been a hard time for more than a year, hasn't it?"

Wang Wusheng shook his head quickly and replied:

"It's not a good thing, it's just a little harder than in China."

"But the psychological pressure is really great. I have to fight with them every day, and I can't stand it anymore."

"As you know, they stopped our civilian ships some time ago, euphemistically calling it an 'anti-terrorism inspection'. In fact, everyone knows what their intention is."

"We originally planned to take care of it, but the base cannot resort to empty-handed tactics, so we have no choice but to watch our compatriots being made things difficult for them."

"It's better now. After you guys came, our pressure has been greatly reduced. It is estimated that Djibouti will be much quieter during this period."

"It's not our fault."

Hu Shuming quickly waved his hand and explained:

"They have been honest these days, probably because of other matters."

"Also a possibility!"

Wang Wusheng nodded heavily and then said:

"Hey, what a damn relief! Where were you in 1994?"

"His grandma's, I was on duty when the accident happened!"

"Now that I think about it, there were so many things going on in those years."

"Accidents happen not only in the air, but also in the water."

"It's been more than ten years now, and I still get so angry when I think about it."

Hu Shuming knew what Wang Wusheng was talking about. Although he was just an ordinary soldier that year, he had experienced a thrilling year.

…

Hu Shuming sighed softly and said:

"It's in the past."

"In the future, if they want to bully us again, it won't be so easy."

Hearing this, Wang Wusheng laughed.

"That's true!"

"Hey, let's not talk about this today, let's eat first!"

“Ethiopian roasted lamb, local specialty, try it!”

After saying this, the atmosphere among everyone became relaxed again. Although there was no wine, they drank the local yogurt Sprite to their heart's content. After being "full of wine and food", Hu Shuming began to chat with Wang Wusheng about serious matters.

“What is the current situation in Sudan?”

he asked.

"not good."

Wang Wusheng answered bluntly.

"The Revolutionary Front has broken through the Shambat Bridge, all satellite cities around Khartoum have been occupied, and the official defense line has almost been completely broken."

"Although we haven't entered the city yet, there is no doubt that it will happen sooner or later."

"The official inner city defense line is a joke, and air superiority is no longer effective."

"We estimate that Khartoum will be completely taken over within two weeks at most."

"It might not even last two weeks - they'll surrender."

"The situation is very serious."

Hu Shuming sighed.

"Yes, it's very serious. We have contacted the embassy, ​​and they are very stubborn and insist on not withdrawing. They plan to use their small compound to collect all the more than a thousand Chinese in Khartoum in case of extreme circumstances.

Go in."

"To be honest, I admire them very much. They only have a few guns in their hands, and if they can persist until now, they really don't take their own lives seriously."

There was a look of emotion on Wang Wusheng's face. After a moment of silence, he continued:

"So, the urgency of evacuation is now very high."

"You just arrived. We didn't want to rush you, but we have no choice but to go."

Hu Shuming nodded solemnly and replied:

"Start supplies tonight and set off tomorrow."

"Weishanhu is coming with us, we will evacuate directly from Port Sudan."

Wang Wusheng frowned slightly, and then he asked:

"Dock?"

"We have to dock, there are too many people."

"That would be risky, and the Revolutionary Front may not cooperate."

"We can't control it. If we get desperate, we will land and fight. Even the United States and the United States dare not stop us. I want to see if they have the guts!"

"good!"

Hearing Hu Shuming's words, Wang Wusheng laughed.

In fact, what he was most worried about was that Hu Shuming was too indecisive during the evacuation process.

If that's the case, then he would rather lead the team himself.

But judging from the current situation, the other party is indeed somewhat bloody.

Leave those more than a thousand people to him and you can rest assured.

"After receiving the person, we will return directly to Djibouti."

"After reaching the high seas, we will send military aircraft to escort."

"J-10?"

Hu Shuming asked curiously.

In fact, the Djibouti base currently does not have the latest fourth-generation aircraft - as far as he knows, there are no plans to deploy fourth-generation aircraft yet.

Wang Wusheng smiled and replied:

"no."

"It's Rainbow-9."

"The rainbow that just flew over-9."

Meanwhile, Khartoum.

Ji Feng stood in front of the bus that had been prepared long ago, with military attache Lin Tao standing next to him.

The latter looked at the compatriots getting on the bus in an orderly manner and said to him:

"Thanks to your resources this time, if it weren't for your company's connections here, under this situation, it would be really difficult for us to find such a bus."

"After you return to China, we will apply for awards for you. Of course, you will also be awarded individually."
