Chapter 386 A miracle created by God
"Thank God, you finally answered the phone. I heard that an oil field belonging to our China in Algeria was attacked by Libyan militants, and killed more than 50 people. Yang Jing, the place where those damn Libyan militants attacked was your oil field, right?" A anxious voice came from the phone. Yang Jing also heard his mother's voice vaguely.
"I'm really sorry. Sandstorms are often scraped here during this period, so the signals here are sometimes good and sometimes bad. And when the sandstorm comes, even the satellite phone is not easy to use." Yang Jing explained apologetically.
The phone number was changed to my mother's voice: "Son, are you okay? The oil field attacked by the Libyan militants was not the oil field you went to, right? Son, come back quickly. It's too dangerous if we don't go there to make that kind of money."
"It's okay, mom. Don't worry. If there is something wrong, can I still call you now?" Yang Jing said, and couldn't help rubbing his forehead hard. Only then did he realize that he was ignoring a very serious problem.
That's right, propaganda of the beautiful defensive war that happened the day before yesterday can indeed establish authority for the Chinese who took over Oham Oilfield, but equally, once this news is transmitted back to China, the family will not be able to stand it.
"I don't care whether it's okay or not. Come back quickly. Really, what kind of place to do when you have nothing to do? Wait for a while, the princess will talk to you."
The phone number over there was changed back to the princess.
"Why haven't you come home?" Yang Jing deliberately wanted to be a crooked house, and his wife added me. Yang Jing really couldn't stand this kind of battle, let alone another great god sitting next to him. When he thought of the scene when his father used chopsticks to "educate" himself when he was a child, Yang Jing now had a little calves.
"You haven't answered my question just now." Perhaps because he made the phone call, Princess' voice returned to her previous calm.
"Ahem... can we stop mentioning this?"
"Your dad is still sitting next to you waiting for the exact news?" Princess said in a low voice.
This made Yang Jing want to slap himself, "Well, that's right, that day, there was indeed a group of Libyan militants secretly crossing the border, and the target was also Oham Oilfield. Well, it was the oilfield that Fatty father just took over. But it really doesn't matter. The country arranged more than 20 elite soldiers into the oilfield. What you should know is that the active military king or quasi-soldier king level super soldiers were temporarily retired. In addition, I hired another mercenary team of eight people from here. These people, Chris and others, had more than 30 people who had the advantage of the geographical advantage. How could it be wrong? In fact, all those who died in the battle that night were Libyan militants, and our people were not even injured."
After a pause, Yang Jing continued: "And since this incident happened, a group of people in China have come to the country, who are very talented, and now there is no problem with the oil field."
"Well, I saw that incident through the news. The debate caused by this incident is still very hot at home, and the country attaches great importance to this matter. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has filed a solemn protest to the Libyan authorities, and it seems that the ambassadors of Libya and Algeria have also been summoned."
Yang Jing smiled and said, "Look, the country will not forget us. Haven't the country taken action now?"
In handling this matter, Yang Jing felt very satisfied in addition to ignoring the ideas of his family and relatives. The way of handling the attack was indeed in line with some of the country's external strategies. Because of the attention caused by the attack, the country has gained many unexpected surprises with the help of this matter.
As for how the country continues to use this, it is not something Yang Jing can worry about. But what Yang Jing knows is that the country is definitely quite satisfied with itself.
During this operation, Yang Jing never showed up in the outside world, whether it was that night or the subsequent handling, so when the matter continued to ferment, Yang Jing took four bodyguards and eight mercenaries to leave the Oham Oilfield and went to the location of the world cultural heritage closest to Oham to check out.
This world cultural heritage site is not located in Algeria, but in Libya. This place is famous, located in the ancient city of Gudamis at the junction of Algeria, Tunisia and Libya.
There is a seven-hour time difference between here and Yanjing. Libyan militants attacked the Oham Oilfield and spread to China tonight. After learning the news, Princess and Yang’s father and mother started calling Yang Jing. As a result, Yang Jing was on the road at that time, there was no signal on the phone. The satellite phone was turned off and charging in the car because it was out of power, so the phone couldn’t be reached. It was not until Gudames that the phone had the signal.
"Okay, don't explain so much. The whole family is worried about you, so come back quickly." Yang Jing could tell that the princess was a little angry, so he was ready to surrender immediately.
"Well, okay! I'll book the air ticket now, and I'll go back after booking the air ticket." Yang Jing will not be vague in this kind of thing. Although a good man is determined by all sides, the premise is not to let his relatives at home worry about you.
Dad Yang took the phone and said a few more words to Yang Jing. Although he didn't say anything else, Yang Jing could hear my concerns from home.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Jing planned to go back after lunch in Gudames. As a result, when Yang Jing said this, Carl Morris on the side said: "BOSS, you don't have to hurry back in such a hurry. Even if you are rushing back to the oil field now and arrive in Algiers, it will be tomorrow night. If you want to return to China, the earliest flight will be the day after tomorrow. Since that's the case, you might as well visit this small town today, and then we will go back tomorrow morning. Anyway, it's 170 kilometers away from the oil field, and you can arrive in two hours. After returning to the oil field, you can take a flight directly to Algiers in the evening, without delaying your flight back to China the day after tomorrow."
Kevin Martin also said: "Yes, boss, since you are here, I suggest you take a walk here. Although this ancient city is not big, it is really good. Here you can see many miracles that you can't imagine."
Yang Jing looked at the lush ancient city that had already appeared not far away in front of him and couldn't help but nod.
It’s not that Yang Jing doesn’t want to go back. One is that what Morris and Martin said is indeed correct. Now that I go back, I am also taking the day after tomorrow flight back to China. The other is that the ancient city in front of me really shocked Yang Jing.
It is true. Yang Jing really didn't expect that in the depths of the Sahara Desert, where the yellow sand is visible, there would be such a city covered with coconut trees and banana trees. Moreover, the number of trees here almost covered the entire Old City of Gudamis.
This situation is far more shocking than seeing an oasis in the desert. Although there are not many oasis in the desert, Yang Jing has seen it many times on the way from Algiers to Borma. But Yang Jing has never seen the oasis like the ancient city in front of him.
If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, it would be hard for you to imagine that there would be such a city covered with trees in the depths of the Sahara Desert, which was covered with yellow sand. Only when you saw this spectacular scenery with your own eyes would you have an idea from the bottom of your heart - it turns out that life can be so tenacious and magnificent!
The convoy quickly drove into Gudamis and stopped at the entrance of the only three-star hotel in Gudamis New City. Deep in the desert, the port was almost a decoration, and the passport was useless, and no one came to check you. So Yang Jing and the others swaggered and crossed the border directly along the highway to Gudamis.
Sitting in the hotel restaurant with air conditioning, you can clearly see the lush ancient city in the north through the glass window.
Kevin Martin, sitting opposite Yang Jing, said: "BOSS, this city is the capital of Gudamis Province, with a permanent population of more than 10,000, most of them are Berbers. We are now in Gudamis New City, which was built in the south of Gudamis Ancient City after Gaddafi won the Libyan regime in the last century, in order to protect the ancient city. In 1986, Gudamis Ancient City was selected as a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO."
Sitting here to see the ancient city of Gudamis, the shock was even greater. Yang Jing really couldn't figure out how there was such a luxurious place in the desert area where the fresh water resources were extremely lacking. In the oasis of the Sahara Desert, it was enough to see one or two trees, but it was a luxury to plant a large number of trees throughout the city.
This kind of green area is difficult to reach even some cities in southern China, but now it suddenly appears in a desert city.
Yang Jing asked about the doubts in his heart. Obviously, Kevin Martin was very familiar with the city, and he quickly gave the answer.
"BOSS, I think you may have some misunderstandings about the Sahara Desert. In fact, it is not only you, but people who have never been here, who probably think that the Sahara Desert is a place that is not long. In fact, this idea is biased. Yes, the Sahara Desert is the second largest desert in the world after Antarctica, but in fact, compared with the deserts in other parts of the world, the Sahara Desert is not short of water. Under the Sahara Desert, there is extremely rich groundwater resources. Just like this city of Gudamis, the underground water resources are so rich that it is shocking."
"In Libya, 95% of the area is desert, and the country's precipitation is very small. However, in the desert areas in central and southern Libya, there are not only abundant oil and gas resources, but also huge amounts of groundwater resources have been discovered. Not to mention, the groundwater resources near Gudamis alone are enough for people in Libya to use for more than 50 years. So since the 1980s, the country has launched a project called "South-to-North Water Diversion", which has invested a total of US$30 billion and built a water supply line with cement pipelines with a diameter of nearly four meters, leading to the desert in southern Libya to the south
The coastal city of Sirte, the hometown of Gaddafi. Most of the cement pipes are buried under the sand, and some places will also be exposed to the surface. Gudamis is also an important water source, and there are water pipes here. BOSS, if you are willing to see, in the northeast direction about 40 kilometers from Gudamis City, you can also see two freshwater lakes completely exposed to the surface. One is a lake called "Eye of Durban", and the other is a lake called "Eye of Hilaria". These two lakes are freshwater lakes in the desert. That is definitely a miracle created by God!"
