The embassy Chennault mentioned is actually just an office of Southern Africa in Macae, which is far from the level of an embassy. Macae is a small city and does not have many business contacts with Southern Africa.
Not to the extent of setting up an embassy or consulate.
In principle, the service targets of the office are limited to southern Africans, but as long as Chinese people have needs, the office will also help.
After the war between Rio and Mizhou broke out, the office's service targets expanded again. At this time, it didn't matter whether they were Chinese or Southern Africans. As long as they could speak a word of Chinese, they could get protection from Southern Africa.
It's not complicated, even just "hello" or "thank you" is fine.
But if you don't know how to do this, even the Chinese will not be protected. Southern Africa will never accept yellow skin but white heart.
Although Hicks is an American, he has interacted with the Chennault family a lot and gradually learned a few words in Chinese.
It is precisely for this reason that Chennault came to remind me.
"Chen, don't worry, the Southern African flag is not as useful as the American flag in Makae -" Hicks pointed to the American flag hanging at the door with pride on his face.
Brazil's political situation has been chaotic in recent years, and Hicks is very experienced in dealing with this kind of thing. He always keeps an American flag at home to be prepared.
Before the conflict between Rio and Mizhou intensified, Hicks hung the American flag in front of his home, and one on the left and right was extremely conspicuous. With these two flags, Hicks believed that he had the ability to cope with any challenge.
"Hicks, the embassy has just sent us news that the situation in Macae has been unstable recently. In order to protect our property and life safety, we hope that we can go to the embassy. Our embassy is employed by an umbrella company.
We are protected by soldiers, and safety is still guaranteed—" Chennault glanced at the American flags on both sides of the door and hesitated.
In peacetime, being an American can indeed bring the greatest convenience to the Hicks family.
However, it is somewhat rash to entrust the property and life safety of yourself and your family on two fluttering flags.
"Those war hyenas from Umbrella Company? No, no, no, I don't want to deal with those guys, I'd rather trust the weapons in my hands!" Hicks opened all the doors, and only then did Chennault see Hicks hiding behind the door.
In his hand, he held a Winchester shotgun made in the United States.
"Chen, you may not know much about Umbrella Corporation. This is an evil company. They wage wars all over the world for profit, subvert political power, and make countless people homeless. Those hateful war hyenas should go to hell. They are all
You are a person who has lost his mind and lost his morality, so I don’t recommend that you go to the Southern African embassy. You should hang two American flags at the door like me, and then prepare weapons to deal with some blind people." Hicks also said
In turn, Chennault persuaded Chennault that this was not sarcasm, but that Hicks really didn't think so.
There is a gun——
Well, since Hicks has been prepared, Chennault will no longer be nosy and talk too much. Damn it, Hicks is also an adult and should be responsible for his actions.
They are all neighbors. Although Hicks did not go with Chennault, when the Chennault family left, Hicks still blessed Chennault as a neighbor.
When it was time to say goodbye, Chennault had not completely given up.
"Hicks, the embassy must know some information that we don't know, since-"
"Hahahaha, don't worry, Chennault. If the situation gets worse, I will come to find you -" Hicks laughed and wished Chennault a safe journey.
Chennault tried his best to smile and wave, and then got into the embassy truck with his family.
The truck compartment was crowded with people. In addition to Chinese people, there were also some white people. What surprised Chennault was that there was a black boy.
In fact, Chinese people are not that yellow. Some Chinese people look whiter than white people, but this little black guy——
Xiao Hei can speak Chinese, but he only knows one sentence: "Draw up?", and I don't know who the evil guy taught him. He probably means "Hello" by this sentence, so he always says it when he meets people.
"Shut up!" The mercenary from the Umbrella Company sitting at the rear of the carriage was indeed fierce.
I have said it many times before, Xiao Hei is not stupid.
Even if you are stupid, you should know what this sentence means when you see so many people looking weird at it.
I don't know if it's okay.
If you still tell people you know it, you are not just being stupid.
The Umbrella Company mercenary scolded Xiao Hei for using Chinese.
It's obvious that Xiao Hei doesn't know what this sentence means.
But Xiao Hei cleverly kept his mouth shut.
If you don’t know what the words mean, just watch them carefully.
If you can't even do this, you deserve to have the grass on your grave grow three feet high.
The city of Makae is very small, and soon the truck arrived at the Southern African Office in Makae.
The office is located in the bustling business district in the center of Macae, next to the Rhodesia Hotel. The office has rented out the entire Rhodesia Hotel to resettle southern African refugees.
Yes, the office's unified name for Chennault and others is "refugees."
At the entrance of the hotel, office director Marcelo was ready to welcome the "refugees", and an armored vehicle from the Umbrella Company was parked at the entrance.
Looking at the black and long heavy machine gun on the armored vehicle, Chennault once again confirmed that his choice was correct.
No matter how powerful a shotgun is, it can't be more powerful than an armored vehicle.
As pure Chinese, the Chennault family quickly passed the review and were taken aside to rest for a while while waiting for the unified room allocation.
Others are not so lucky.
"Yes, we did say that as long as you speak a word of Chinese, you can get protection from Southern Africa, but you never think that the protection provided by Southern Africa is free -" Marcelo's words made Chennault tremble with fear.
.
Not free?
As the best hotel in Macae, the Rhodesian Hotel is very expensive, and Chennault would feel sore after staying there.
"Don't worry, the fee for your family is free." Probably seeing Chennault's anxiety, a young staff member next to him in a white shirt and overalls with a ponytail took the initiative to explain.
Chinese--
Chennault immediately felt at home.
"We can get protection if we speak Chinese, but only real southern Africans can get free protection. The umbrella company is a commercial company." The girl chuckled, with white teeth and curved eyebrows. She looked like
The girl next door.
"You are liars, this is a shameful deception!" A middle-aged white man wearing glasses waved his chubby hands in an effort to protect his own interests.
"If you accept, you and your family can stay. If you don't accept, the truck will take you home later. If you think this is cheating, it may be because we have different understandings of 'cheating'."
Marcelo is serious, if you are a white person who is proficient in Chinese, you can also get free power.
Similarly, if you are a Chinese who is not proficient in Chinese, you will have to pay for protection in southern Africa.
Now Chennault can only be thankful that he has never given up on educating his children. Although he has been in Brazil for so many years, Chennault has always insisted on using Chinese to communicate with his family at home.
"Please sir, my family and I need protection in southern Africa -" someone begged.
"Sorry, there are more people who need protection in Southern Africa. Southern Africa has no obligation to provide protection for everyone." Marcelo is indifferent and will never accept any moral kidnapping. Now he knows the importance of knowing another language.
As for Xiao Hei, who always "draws up" whenever he sees someone, he was thrown aside by the mercenaries as soon as he got out of the car and was not even qualified to enter.
The reason is swearing.
Smart guys have already taken the initiative to pay at this time. It is unwise to put yourself and your family in great danger just to save money.
As Chennault said, the federal government and umbrella of Southern Africa must know some information that ordinary people do not know.
The dispute soon subsided, and those who were willing to pay were finally qualified to be assigned rooms, while those who were unwilling to pay went back to their homes. Chennault's family of six were assigned three business rooms, one for the couple, one for the three boys, and one for the eldest daughter.
A separate room.
This made Chennault quite uneasy. It was not impossible for his daughter to live with the couple, so that he could save a room.
"Don't worry, all your expenses during your stay at the Rhodesia Hotel will be paid for by the Southern African federal government. It's a rare opportunity to rub the federal government's wool. If I were to stay there forever, I would also take the initiative to apply for a presidential suite." From Nigeria.
Lee Sin of Asalan gave Chennault a reason he couldn't refuse.
That's right. Southern Africans will never hesitate to play with the federal government whenever they have the opportunity.
But this kind of thing is too strange for the Chennault family.
In Brazil, let alone the government's wool, it would be nice not to be slaughtered as a fat sheep.
"Okay, go to the restaurant on time every morning at seven o'clock in the morning, 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and six o'clock in the afternoon. The expenses are also paid by the Southern African federal government, but you must be careful not to waste it. It is shameful to waste food." Li Qing said neatly, beside him
Chennault's eldest daughter looked envious.
It is true that in Brazil, you can never see such a heroic girl.
In the evening, Chennault and his wife were enjoying the cool air on the balcony, looking at the vast starry sky in front of them, when Chennault suddenly made a decision.
"Shall we just immigrate to southern Africa?"
"Why?" Chennault's wife was surprised. If the war did not break out, the Chennault family's life would still be okay.
"Today's girl, if we lived in southern Africa, would Jingjing be like that girl?" Chennault's heart was surging, and he knew the autumn leaves. From Li Qing, Chennault could feel the power of southern Africa and the blessings it gave to southern Africans.
