Karachi Port, Pakistan... This is Pakistan's largest port and the national industrial, commercial and cultural center. At the same time, Karachi's industrial output value accounts for 40% of the country.
In other words, almost half of Pakistan's industry is concentrated in Karachi, and it can be imagined that Karachi should be a good city.
But we didn't have the chance to witness the largest port in Pakistan, and of course we didn't have the chance to see the city of Karachi... The reason is very simple. We were still in containers just like when we came.
And... this time we hung it from the ship and transport it directly on the truck... This is the case with containers. When placed on the freighter, they are like boxes, hanging from the freighter and putting them on the truck.
Once placed on it... it turned into the rear compartment of the truck.
However, although we can't see it, we can hear all kinds of strange sounds outside through the container... there are motorcycle sounds, whistles, music sounds, scolding, shouting... and these sounds are all words we can't understand
The shouting made the soldiers all curiously press their ears on the container and listened carefully to the sounds outside, and sometimes made a few laughs... But since I ordered that I could not make sounds in the container from the beginning,
So all they can do is to gesture and make gestures between each other.
These gestures are what we learn during training... The reason we need to learn this subject is that silent communication is often required on the battlefield... This cannot be done by micro radios.
Micro radio... When there is an enemy nearby, there will be a bug. Tell it louder... The enemy is alarmed, and speak it softer. Teammates can't hear it clearly. They often misunderstand it because they hear it wrong.
.
So gestures become very necessary... Even if the enemy is separated from us by a wall, the soldiers can communicate and cooperate with gestures.
It is not difficult to do this. It is to make some gestures with the soldiers that are easier to remember and vividly, and then promote them throughout the army. Among them, we even introduced some sign language... that is, the deaf and mute.
The kind of gestures to communicate with each other.
From this aspect... this silent communication between the soldiers can be cultivated at this time.
However, such exchanges stopped quickly... The main reason was that it became quiet outside. It must be that the convoy had already walked out of Karachi and drove onto the road.
"Battery Commander!" At this time, Zhao Jingping asked me in a low voice: "Where are we going?"
It doesn't matter how much you speak in a low voice at this time. One is because the container has a compartment effect, the other is that there are not many people around the car, and the car is fast and the roar of the motor is loud... Even if someone listens outside, he will listen.
Not much.
So I pointed to a location on the map and said, "At this...Peshawar!"
Zhao Jingping looked at the map and couldn't help but smack his tongue: "So far... I have to take a car for a few days!"
I nodded with a wry smile... What this means is that we have to stay in this container for a few days.
To a certain extent... I think we don't need to hide after we arrive in Pakistan. This is not Afghanistan... The relationship between China and Pakistan has always been very good, and a small army appeared in Pakistan for work.
Isn’t it normal to communicate or something?
But Commander Zhang's opinion is different. He believes that this is a sensitive period. Not to mention that Pakistan is a neighbor of Afghanistan, the place we are going to is also located on the border between Ba-Arabia... Once Soviet spies or someone discover it, they will find out.
If a Chinese team entered Peshawar from Karachi, the Soviet Union could easily infer that it was related to China.
But now... if we suddenly appear in Peshawar, we can use another identity, a group of Chinese living in Pakistan. We volunteer to help Afghan refugees in Peshawar, Pakistan, or to be employed by Afghan guerrillas for money.
...It's okay with mercenaries.
It should be said that Commander Zhang’s consideration is correct... This is often the case in the international community. Although everyone knows what’s going on, as long as there is a good excuse, others will be unable to do anything to you!
For example, the Soviet Union... His invasion of Afghanistan was also under the excuse of "the Afghan Prime Minister inviting the Soviet Union to send troops."
So... things between countries are sometimes so hypocritical, but this hypocrisy is essential and sometimes very necessary, for the sake of interests and for the sake of not allowing the enemy country to seize the handle.
But this made us suffer... All the people in our camp have to seal it in this container... This is much more painful than when we were on the boat. We can still come out to get some air at night. In the daytime, the container will be too
Half open and half closed...
But now, the whole process must be sealed tightly, only a few inconspicuous breathing holes are opened in the front... These breathing holes are quite useful. When the car speeds up, the wind will naturally pour in, so
Don't worry about being suffocated to death inside.
but……
You should know that Karachi is two thousand kilometers away from Peshawar, and the roads in Pakistan are quite bad... Most of the roads in Pakistan were built during the British colonization, and it has been decades since then, and there are not many other than repairs.
Improvement, this is clearly recorded in the information sent to me by the inspection team. Now we also feel... because it is so shaking along the way that people can't stand it, and there are several times on the road that the driver has to stop.
Pick up the bamboo pole and support the wires in the middle of the road...
Some wires on the highway are not high enough and are set up above the highway... If we trucks with containers have thought about it, we must support them.
This made us walk for two days and three nights before we arrived at our destination... This was the result of two drivers driving each truck alternately, that is, in addition to the time of eating and refueling, the fleet continued for 24 hours.
Running on the road.
We only realized afterwards... This is actually quite good. The reason is that we are Chinese, so the person in charge of Pakistan who was receiving us specially sent the best truck and the best driver to serve us. This is how to do it.
Arriving at the destination at two days and three nights... In addition, there are assistance from some countries, such as the United States...
The United States also transported military supplies to Pakistan, so a group of people followed these supplies into Afghanistan. Of course, due to the large amount of military supplies and confidentiality, they were not suitable for flying, but they were struggling on the road for five days and five nights.
...One of the important reasons for this is that the driver has to sleep! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
