Because Director Wang followed, Yang Jing and the others avoided a banquet in the evening.
In fact, Yang Jing and his group airborne the Ukrainian city and donated another 20 million US dollars, which spread throughout Xinjiang province within one day. Now that the great God of Wealth has arrived in Korla, the leaders of the Bayingol League certainly want to curry favor with this great God of Wealth. If they are happy, even if a little leaks out from the cracks of their fingers, it will be enough for us to use this place.
However, Yang Jing was not at all thinking about it. He just wanted to arrive at Hotan as soon as possible. In fact, Yang Jing regretted it now. You should know that the road conditions are so bad, it would be better to fly directly from Ukraine to Hotan by military plane.
Because she was in a bad mood, Yang Jing asked Director Wang to politely decline the invitation, ate some food casually, and rested early. After all, the bumpy day was actually very exhausting.
Because of its geographical location, although it uses the Yanjing time that is universally used in Yanjing, it is more than two hours later than that in Yanjing.
If it were in Yanjing, it would be dawn at 6:30 in the morning in mid-April, but here, the stars in the sky were still flashing, and this was the darkest dawn of the day.
However, in order to hurry up, Yang Jing and the others had dinner early and set off in the darkness.
The closest road from Korla to Hotan is to go west along National Highway 314 and all the way to Kuche, then transfer from Kuche to National Highway 217 and arrive at Hotan. The road is about 1,000 kilometers.
If there were highways or national roads in later generations, the distance of one thousand kilometers would be more than ten hours, but now, it would take two days to run one thousand kilometers.
Yesterday, Yang Jing and the others ran less than 400 kilometers of mountain roads and ran for more than ten hours. You can imagine what the current road conditions are.
Fortunately, the road conditions of National 314 in the south of the world are much better than those of Aba Line. At least they can run a car. Although the speed is only about 60 kilometers, this speed is far greater than the road that I ran yesterday.
The scenery along the way is extremely beautiful, because National Highway 314 is located on the south side of the Tianshan Mountains, with snow-capped snow-capped mountains on one side and vast Gobi Desert on the other side. It is between the snow-capped mountains and the Gobi Desert, and it feels like a person is flying in the sky.
This kind of original scenery is rarely seen in another thirty years, but now, at any glance, it is such a beautiful scenery that can make people intoxicated. Even the five Austin and the others have been amazed and even fussed about the beautiful scenery along the way.
The United States has developed rapidly in recent decades, but the cost of its development is pollution to natural resources. The United States has not yet moved its major heavy pollution companies such as manufacturing industries out of China. Even if the US federal government has begun to vigorously rectify environmental pollution problems, it will take a relatively long time. It will not take until the early 20th century that the natural environment in the United States will gradually recover.
China today cannot be said to be poor and careless, but at least there is little natural pollution, especially in underdeveloped inland provinces like Xinjiang Province, the scenery is even more beautiful.
It’s not lonely to have beautiful scenery along the way. In addition, Director Wang is definitely a wonderful person. He has various local customs, humanities and legends. He can easily pick it up and watch and listen to it all the way. It is actually very interesting.
At around six o'clock in the evening, the group ran a little 600 kilometers and arrived at Aral. At night, Yang Jing and the others were about to live here.
Aral is not directly under the jurisdiction of the autonomous region government. In this era, Aral is actually affiliated with the Construction Corps, and the First Division of the Construction Corps was stationed here. The famous bearded general Wang was stationed here.
After more than 40 years of construction, this place has become a paradise. You can see patches of crops everywhere along the way. If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that such a large area of green representing life would appear on the desolate Gobi Desert.
Although it will take more than ten years before Aral will become a county-level city under the jurisdiction of the provincial government, now, with the deepening of the reform and opening up, this place is not as strict as before, and there are many people in the Corps who have come into contact with the outside world.
It was like the local corps allowed Yang Jing and his group to live here, which was actually a very open expression.
Moreover, in the evening, the political commissar of the First Division of the Corps invited Yang Jing and his group to have supper. Yang Jing would never refuse this. Even though he was very tired, Yang Jing still happily accepted the invitation.
Political Commissar Lu did not mean to ask the foreigner to donate some charity money. After all, this is an army, but Political Commissar Lu knew that the foreigner had donated 20 million US dollars to Xinjiang as soon as he arrived in Xinjiang Province. Now that he has come here again, as a local snake, he should come forward to entertain him for reason. However, due to his identity, the division commander did not come forward, but the political commissar represented the First Division to welcome Yang Jing and his group.
Although Yang Jing now looks like a foreigner, he is an absolute descendant of the Chinese Yanhuang. Yang Jing admires these soldiers who work hard on the frontier. They are the cutest and most respectable people.
Similarly, Yang Jing also knew that this place was actually quite sensitive, so he did not let Austin and the others follow him. Just kidding, it is absolutely impossible to have danger here! Yang Jing just brought Director Wang and Wu Dawei to attend the supper organized by Political Commissar Lu.
Although dinner was just a very ordinary farm dish, Yang Jing also had relish. The ingredients of this era, especially the ingredients produced in this place, are real green foods, and there is no pollution at all.
Yang Jing drank a lot of wine. Of course, what Yang Jing brought out was the old wine collected by Lao Na, and several bottles of Wuliangye produced in the 1960s. Political Commissar Lu happened to be from Sichuan Province. Now he has encountered wine from his hometown, so he naturally drank this wine and the guests and hosts all the time.
During the meal, Yang Jing generously threw down 10 million US dollars again. Political Commissar Lu did not expect that Yang Jing would donate such a large sum of money, which is still the US dollar that is now in short supply across the country.
Because of the particularity of this place, Political Commissar Lu originally wanted to refuse, but Yang Jing's explanation made Political Commissar Lu unable to refuse in the end, so he could only call the army leader on the spot. Finally, when the army leader heard the foreigner's explanation, he accepted the donation.
Yang Jing explained this: My father was once a member of the Flying Tigers during World War II. He fought against Japan with your country's soldiers. The most important thing is that my father was saved by your country's soldiers back then, so this time I learned that I was coming to China, my father had long told me to thank you more.
I don’t have anything else, but I still have a lot of dollars. In order to thank the soldiers of your country for saving my father’s life, I would like to ask you to accept this money.
And I also have a very important reason, that is, when I was a child, I studied with a magic Taoist master from your country for a long time in the United States. In this regard, although I am an American, my relationship with your country is actually very deep. Even if you say that I am half a Chinese, it is okay. After all, my Taoist master is a pure Chinese. I learned this fluent Chinese with my master!
Well, this reason is very powerful, so powerful that the legion leaders can't refuse.
It is impossible for foreign guests to donate money kindly, and donate such a large sum of dollars. It is fake that the leaders of the army are not moved. In addition, they have just arrived in Ukraine and have been engaged in charity business in recent years. Over the years, the government is very clear about the charity donations to China and the money spent on charity.
In any aspect, we cannot be wronged by the kindness of such a foreign guest who cares about China.
Yang Jing really wanted to improve the living standards of the military and civilians here in this way. Ten million US dollars is nothing to Yang Jing, but it was undoubtedly a huge sum of money in this era.
Yang Jing respects these unknown soldiers who have never made any contribution to the country. It is precisely because of their existence that Xinjiang Province has always been so stable. Although those damn foreign forces will cause some minor trouble in Xinjiang Province from time to time, it is precisely because these soldiers who have no regrets have always stood here like a magic needle for the sea that ensures the safety of Xinjiang Province.
Yang Jing couldn't do anything else, but at this time, he donated a sum of money to improve the lives of the soldiers. Yang Jing still felt it was very worth it.
After accepting the check that Yang Jing signed out, the atmosphere became even more lively.
Yang Jing was also rare to both Political Commissar Lu and both drank high. As a result, after Yang Jing got up, it was already midnight. The originally planned itinerary for the next day was naturally impossible to go.
