The replacement of the commander-in-chief of the Siamese Air Force was just a small episode. No one took this matter seriously, because no matter who he replaced, he could not make any waves with just a few aircraft, especially now that fifth-generation aircraft have been installed.
Under such circumstances, those who know better should behave obediently and carefully.
Because they were going to Kunrong in the afternoon, the group of people didn't drink much, just a few drinks per person, and Li Jun didn't force it.
...two hours later.
A minibus heading to Siam Khun Rong City departed from a suburban scenic spot in Nu Thao City.
Li Jun and Ren Hao watched the bus leave, then turned around and saw that the scenic spot was surrounded by tourists. It was very lively with people coming and going, and everyone had a relaxed smile on their face, looking very happy.
Ren Hao glanced at the bus going away again, and sighed: "These tourists from all over the country, I'm afraid they will never know until they die, what kind of people are on that bus, what are they going to do now, or even if they die?"
Even if they knew about it, they wouldn’t care.”
Li Jun said calmly: "Heroes are always unknown."
"You are right."
Ren Hao took out a cigarette, smoked one, lit it, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "You are the same, and so are we. Sometimes I am in the office and look at the photos on the wall. Some young men have just entered the workplace.
Some have just gotten married, some have just become parents, some have daughters who are about to get married, some have not even graduated from school, and some are just ordinary college students."
"There are more and more pictures on the wall, but the drugs have not necessarily decreased. Sometimes I wonder if it is worth spending so many lives to fill it."
Li Jun looked into the distance. There was a couple there. The two of them were holding a little girl of five or six years old. They were passing by happily. He shook his head and said, "Nothing is worth it. There are always people who have to do some things."
.”
After saying that, he waved his hand: "I'm leaving. By the way, your father-in-law is very dissatisfied with your performance this time. I think you should hide first. Otherwise, I might bring flowers to see you next year."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jun jumped on the Land Patrol and asked the driver to leave.
"Hey!"
Ren Hao hurriedly shouted twice, and then cursed: "Damn! At least send me back!"
After saying that, he looked around at the tourists passing by from time to time. He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. When had he ever been so sentimental? He waved in the direction where Ye Qiu and the others left: "I wish you good luck!"
Then he turned and left.
No one among the tourists coming and going noticed this scene, they just looked around the scenic spots with smiles on their faces, looking peaceful and comfortable.
...There are many shuttle buses from Nutao City to Kunrong City every day because there are so many tourists on both sides.
One is domestic tourists from all over the country. When they come to Nutao City, they naturally want to visit Kunrong City. After all, the two sides are so close, and the drive only takes two hours.
Kunrong City has more foreign tourists. Similarly, when I came to Kunrong City, I naturally wanted to come to the mysterious Eastern Continent to have a closer look.
However, compared to the past in China, the number of people in this area is relatively small, because the domestic entry management is relatively strict, unlike Siam, which has no rules, so the number of foreign tourists here is far less than that of domestic tourists.
Of course, these situations are not necessarily the same. There are also foreign tourists entering from China who come to Nutao City first and then prepare to go to Kunrong.
The bus that Ye Qiu and the others took this time was filled with less than half of the foreigners. These foreigners seemed very excited as soon as they got on the bus and kept talking in English.
In addition to these foreigners, there was also a small tour group that also took this bus. After the bus left Nutao City, the tour group's tour guide stood in front of the bus and borrowed a speaker from the driver to introduce the scenery along the way to the tourists.
"Everyone, look to the right. This is the famous Niangniang Mountain. Legend has it that couples who had no children in ancient times..." the tour guide continued to introduce in Mandarin, and the people in the tour group hurriedly took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
The group of foreigners also listened very carefully. Unexpectedly, they actually understood it. They seemed to be Hua Xia Tong who had lived in China for a long time.
Apart from these two groups of people, the rest were individual travelers, as well as some locals from Nutao City who were visiting relatives, or people from Kunrong City who were planning to go home.
A young couple sat next to Ye Qiu. The girl seemed very excited as soon as she got on the bus and said, "Wu Wei, Wu Wei, how long until we can get to Kunrong City?"
Wu Wei frowned and said, "Apu, it will take two hours to arrive. Why are you so excited?"
The girl named Apu said: "Of course I'm excited. I came to Nutao City several years ago and went to my aunt's house. I haven't been home for many years. If it weren't for you accompanying me this time, my aunt wouldn't be here either."
Maybe they will let me go back, unlike you who can go back every few months."
Wu Wei reminded: "Keep your voice down, don't disturb others."
Apu turned his head and saw Ye Qiu leaning on a chair to rest, sticking out his tongue and saying, "Sir, I'm sorry."
Ye Qiu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. The sound of this old bus is too noisy. It's impossible for anyone to rest. You can talk as you like. No matter how loud you are, it won't be able to cover up the sound of the engine."
Apule laughed happily: "Sir, you are so interesting. Are you going to Kunrong for a trip or going home?"
Ye Qiu smiled slightly: "Go and do something."
Apu's eyes lit up: "Are you a native of Nutao City?"
"No, I'm from Tianguang City in the mainland, a small town next to Linhai City."
"Linhai City!"
Apu's eyes flashed a little, "Linhai City is an international city. I have been coming to Nutao City for more than ten years, and I have always wanted to go there. However, because of the inconvenience of ID issues, I have never even been to Nutao City.
.”
After saying that, she couldn't wait to ask: "Sir, have you been to Linhai City?
How is it there?
Are there many high-rise buildings?
Is the place big?
I heard that the tap water there is drinkable, is that true?"
Ye Qiu laughed and said: "It is impossible to drink the tap water directly anywhere because of the aging and disinfection problems of the pipes... But if you say there are many high-rise buildings, there are indeed many, but that's it. Have you ever been to Nutao?
The city center, right?”
“Of course I have!”
Apu said, "There are many high-rise buildings there, but I feel that the buildings in Linhai City must be higher."
"Actually, except for a few well-known landmarks, the buildings in Linhai City are almost as tall as the city center of Nutao City. In other words, if we just talk about high-rise buildings and advanced facilities, the city center of any city is almost the same as Linhai City."
Ye Qiu explained: "It's just that in most parts of Linhai City, you can dig out any corner and turn it into the city center of other cities."
Apu blinked: "In such a big city, every place is similar to the city center of other cities?
So how many years will it take to build this! I remember that the city center of Nutao City has been built for more than ten years. When I came here as a child, there were only small houses there!"
Ye Qiu smiled and said: "Of course urban construction cannot be accomplished overnight. Linhai City can reach its current scale only from the foundation laid decades ago. At that time, international capital invested a lot here... But it's just about construction development.
If so, then it has been the fastest in the past 20 years, also because China’s economic development has been the fastest in the past 20 years. Without China’s economic development, Linhai City would not be what it is today.”
When Wu Wei heard this, he said with deep emotion: "I have been working in Nutao City for more than ten years. I have seen the development of Nutao City with my own eyes and felt that China's economic changes in the past twenty years are indeed changing with each passing day."
"When I first came to Nutao City, the situation here was actually similar to that of Kunrong City over there. They were all small houses and the streets were dilapidated and couldn't even be called streets."
"The three meals at that time were better than those in Kunrong City, but not much better. They were just white rice with some pickles, side dishes and so on."
"But over the past ten years or so, I have witnessed with my own eyes that life here in Nutao City has undergone earth-shaking changes."
"Three meals a day have changed from simple meals to meat, the muddy streets have turned into flat asphalt roads, the low mud-walled houses have turned into high-rise buildings with more than 30 stories, from a village to a building
The black-and-white machine has turned into a smart phone and even a fruit machine for everyone now."
When Wu Wei said this, there was envy on his face: "Life here has really changed a lot and it is very convenient. Sometimes when I go back to Kunrong, I even feel like I have returned to ancient times."
Ye Qiu smiled and said: "Once they enjoy better conveniences, many people will not be able to go back. And you have been in Nutao City for more than ten years. Have you never thought about settling here?"
Wu Wei shook his head, his eyes were a little firm, and he said softly: "Although the life here is indeed very good, it is not my hometown. Although I am working here now, I will go back to my hometown to develop when I save enough money. I believe that as long as we
If we work hard, we can develop Kunrong and Siam well. In just a few years, life there will definitely be the same as here."
Apu hugged Wu Wei's arm and said with a smile: "I will save money with you, and we will go back to Kunrong City to develop our hometown together in the future!"
Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head without saying anything more.
It can only be said that the ideas of this young couple are very naive, because the tragedy of Siam as a small power, especially when there is a powerful power next door, is bound to always swing between several big powers.
For those powerful forces, an ant that can be controlled at will is obviously better than an uncontrolled cockroach.
The small forces caught in the middle will never achieve any big development. They can only gain some living space by swinging left and right. For them, the wisest thing to do is to completely turn to one side, but this
And it is not allowed by the leader, because if it completely falls to one side, the leader will have no benefits to extract.
