Rekindle 2003

Chapter 1193 The more time you waste, the fewer people alive there are
Zayd looked at Kong Ziqian, who had yellow skin, black hair and black eyes, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He recalled the days when he was studying in China.

At that time, he...

Although he went there as a military student, he has always been curious about and yearning for Chinese culture.

While learning Chinese military technology, he also studied Chinese history, philosophy and art, and made many Chinese friends.

For him, those days in China were a beautiful memory.

He originally thought that he could live in China for several years.

Unfortunately, all of this was destroyed by the civil war, and he had to return home early, and only stayed in China for two years.

After returning to China, he tried to use Chinese wisdom to solve these problems, but found it was not easy.

Only after returning to Africa did he realize that the culture and arts he had learned were of no use at this stage.

His tribe, his people, still live in poverty and war.

Military technology that can be learned...

It has to be said that, unlike China's five public African disciples, they were completely unable to adapt to the local climate in Somalia.

It’s very simple, infantry and tank coordination requires that you have tanks.

Even if you want to move from one place to another after firing a gun, you still need a gun.

Zayd sighed, feeling helpless.

When he first returned, he was faced with tribes that still had javelins, bows and arrows, and boomerangs.

This is comparable to the situation in China during the pre-Qin period.

After the Qin Dynasty, China had already put on armor, and Somalia...

Well, now the armor is a liability.

But some of his tribesmen were still used to smearing wood ash, mud, animal blood, and feces before going into battle...

The appearance of Kong Ziqian gave him a glimmer of hope.

If we could establish friendly relations with Kong Ziqian, perhaps we could bring some changes to his tribe.

He hopes to find a shortcut to solve these problems.

Zayed looked at Kong Ziqian, with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.

But Zayed's words made Kong Ziqian almost laugh out loud.

Well, I did study abroad in China and I know about Zhalan’s story.

If he was not so familiar with me, he would definitely say "Okay, Zalan!"

On the other side, Imanda, who was furious at Zayd's insulting behavior, yelled at Kong Ziqian to leave quickly and did not ask him for anything.

Kong Ziqian glared at her helplessly, and in his heart he somewhat agreed with Zayd's words.

She is indeed a stupid woman who cannot understand the situation!
Well, it’s not that I don’t want a beautiful stupid woman.

He shouted at Imanda in Chinese: "Shut up, bitch! It's not your turn to speak on the man's business!"

Then he turned to look at Zayed, and said carefully,
"My friend, you know the rules of our country, once you pay the bride price, she is mine.

So, this is the wife I married with a dowry, and your actions have damaged my property.

Now that I have come to Africa, as we Chinese say, I should adapt to the local customs.

This makes me very embarrassed, my friend, you know that face is more important than anything else in China."

Property, this is not some weird statement.

Rather, in many parts of the world, there are social operating rules constructed by moral values ​​and world views that are very different from those of China.

Hearing this, Imanta was stunned.

She looked at Kong Ziqian in disbelief for daring to yell at her.

Since they confirmed their relationship, the fat boy has been obedient and respectful to her, and he does not have the African men's idea of ​​treating women as property at all.

just now……

Are you rebelling against Tiangang?
Obviously not.

She understood him, and she was sure that Kong Ziqian didn't have the courage to do so.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. In an instant, Imanda calmed down and acted obediently after being yelled at by a man.

Seeing this, Zaid applauded Confucius, looked at him with admiration, and said,
"You're still a man! That's more like a man!"

After that, Zaid looked at Kong Ziqian with regret, sighed, and continued:

"My friend, I have to say that your wife is a little stupid, but she is sensible.

According to our teachings, there cannot be women on board the ship, otherwise Allah will bring disaster upon us.

So, my Chinese friends, I suggest you forget her.

I said, I will compensate you, my three sisters don't need a dowry, this is my friendship for you."

Zayed also saw it. Although it was hard to believe, he had to admit that the woman in front of him was the weak spot of the fat Chinese man.

Since it is a weak point, we must take advantage of it.

As soon as these words came out, before Kong Ziqian said anything, the faces of all the women in the cabin changed.

They had originally prepared for the worst situation today, which was nothing more than being abused by these niggers once or several times.

When life is more important than anything else, just treat it as a dog bite and let it go after it’s over.

And now hearing this...it seems like no one can survive.

In an instant, the group of women who were staying in the cabin corridor and dared not move because of the guns in the hands of the pirates broke down.

Zayd was upset by the helpless screams and cries of the women. He fired several shots at the ceiling with the AK in his hand and finally suppressed the riot.

And Imanda also shed sad tears.

But at this time, Kong Ziqian understood what Zayed said, his eyes rolled, and he quickly said,

“My friend, I personally have great respect for your teachings and mean no offense.

But I think God is merciful and there is room for flexibility in teachings, so I can compensate you."

He thought to himself, what a bullshit doctrine!

The first principle of their doctrine says you can't kill people. That's all bullshit. Now it just depends on what you can come up with.

But Zayed's words made Kong Ziqian realize that the other party just wanted to bargain with him.

Although he didn't know the specific reason, Zayed's constant repetition of the word "Chinese friend" made him roughly understand a logic - his Chinese identity could bring Zayed what he needed.

Or rather, Zaid thought he had what he needed.

Confucius was thinking quickly about his own options. After thinking about it over and over again, he could only think of one possibility.

He licked his lips and said, "Don't hurt my wife. I can give you what you need."

Zayd was overjoyed when he heard this. He had finally managed to trick someone into saying this.

But just as he was about to say some polite words, he saw Kong Ziqian take out a thing from his trouser pocket and handed it to him.

a cell phone.

Zayd looked at the strange-shaped phone in his hand with a look of surprise.

This was a phone model he had never seen before, but its temperament was clearly not in line with Kong Ziqian's identity as a Chinese Tianlong.

Logically speaking, shouldn’t it be the Rittal Signature phone?
His eyes moved back and forth between the phone in his hand and Kong Ziqian's face. After a long while, he asked in confusion, "Cellphone?"

When Kong Ziqian heard this, his heart sank suddenly.

From Zayd's reaction, he knew that something was wrong and he had completely misjudged his intentions.

This 'Zha Zi' in front of me doesn't even know what this phone is!
He originally thought that it was a military mobile phone provided by Yanhuang Group to the Tanzanian military, and it was coveted by the scum in front of him.

However, after taking a glimpse of the puzzled look on Zayd's face as if he had seen something new, he changed his mind and could only bite the bullet and put on a nonchalant look and nodded.

Zaid, who had no idea what was so magical about this phone, looked at it strangely for a long time, and could only shrug his shoulders and say,
"My Chinese friend, your phone is of no use to us."

He wanted to slap the fat boy.

I thought it was the Age of Discovery, and I just picked up something to fool people?

Kong Ziqian lowered his voice and said, "This is a military mobile phone. Take a closer look."

It's not that he wants to sell out company secrets, but he is very clear that the cheap and powerful company launched this mobile phone for use by the African military and guerrillas.

And pirates... can also be considered guerrillas!

What happened here now is just the worst. He can go back and throw a tantrum in front of the prison warden, and the matter will be over.

Zaid held the phone in his hand and shook it, saying, "Interesting. Why is this phone called a military phone?"

He felt that this thing was more like a brick than the previous Nokia. Was it used to hit people?

Or could it be built with explosives and used as a grenade or a time bomb? Although Zaid knew that China was now wealthy, he never expected that China was so wealthy.

Confucius Ziqian on the other side put on an expression as if he was looking at a fool, and after pretending to be speechless, he spoke slowly,
“Give me a space where I can show off.”

He was present the whole time when that cheap guy tricked Brussels last time. What he has to do now is to replicate Qing Yun's rhetoric.

Zayed was not worried about the appearance of the little Chinese fat boy and the fat on his body. He signaled his men to open a hatch next to him, took Imanda in first, and then waved for Kong Ziqian to follow in.

Kong Ziqian frantically recalled Lao Da's words in his heart.

However, at this moment, Zaid, who was walking behind and preparing to close the door, stopped and said something that made Kong Ziqian terrified.

“It’s not easy for us to come out, and we don’t know when the next time will be.

There should be another hour or two left, so enjoy yourself. By the way, remember to clean up the mess when you are done, white man, and leave no one alive.

Also, keep those Sakura girls for me and my Chinese friends."

Before Kong Ziqian could react, the pirates outside burst into excited and ecstatic shouts.

There was a burst of gunfire in the corridor, but it could not cover up the women's screams of fear.

The pirates were like wild beasts, venting their animal desires in the cabin.

When they saw beautiful women, they would pounce on them. Some women tried to resist but were beaten to the ground by them.

A young girl was caught by pirates. She struggled desperately and cried for help, but the pirates dragged her into a cabin without mercy. Then her screams and cries were heard.

Another girl was pointed at a gun by a pirate. She was so scared that her face turned pale and her body kept shaking.

The pirates laughed on the sidelines, enjoying the pleasure of torturing others.

They even lit torches in the cabin, illuminating it as if they were holding an unholy carnival.

The women's helpless screams and cries were heard one after another, and the entire cabin turned into a hell on earth.

The pirates were partying in this hell; their laughter and gunshots intertwined to form a horrifying picture.

Zayd stood at the cabin door, listening to the noise outside, with a hint of disdain on his face.

He turned around and looked at Kong Ziqian, who seemed to be frightened, with a look of indifference in his eyes.

He licked his lips and chuckled, "Do you think I'm cruel?"

Kong Ziqian nodded with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but open his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Zayd shaking his finger.

"Compared to what they did to us back then, I have been very merciful. At least I gave them some pleasure.

My Chinese friend, don't worry, we are friends and I will not hurt you.

But you better show me what your phone is good for, or I can't promise you...

And the safety of you, the so-called daughter-in-law.

You have to be valuable to me, you know what I mean."

Zayed closed the door and looked meaningfully at the fat boy in front of him.

As a "Sayyid" of a tribe, he is not stupid.

He was very upset by the nonchalant look that Kong Ziqian gave him just now, as if he was looking at a fool.

But Kong Ziqian's possible background made it impossible for him to do anything about it.

However, Zayed knew very well that these Chinese people had been living in comfort for too long, especially the second generation. How could they know the true face of Africa?
China is an ancient civilization.

Therefore, their people and their army are too civilized.

He did this on purpose in front of Confucius.

He wanted to use iron and blood to intimidate the cunning little fat man from China in front of him.

Besides, Zayed doesn't think there is anything wrong with his methods.

Those people outside did even worse to his ancestors.

Hatred cannot continue, but why should it end on the victim's side?
He just wants to let the people of this world know that Africa is not a place they can trample on at will.

As he wished, Kong Ziqian was indeed frightened.

The look in his eyes at this moment was filled with incredible shock and fear.

However, what made Zayd feel relieved was that there was no hatred or anger in the eyes of the little fat man in front of him.

This shows that Kong Ziqian was still rational and he knew who his real enemy was.

Imanda was so frightened that her legs felt like sieves and she held Kong Ziqian's arm tightly.

Her eyes were full of fear and helplessness, as if she was seeking a sense of security.

The screams outside made Kong Ziqian feel unbearable.

Well, it is indeed an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth act of revenge.

But his conscience as a human being made him decide to do something.

He said hurriedly, "My friend, what I can give you is a revolutionary change for you. I hope that after you are satisfied, you can let them go."

Zayd shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "That depends on what you can bring to me.

Your so-called military cell phone...

Don’t even mention it. You know, we don’t dare use mobile phones.”

When Confucius heard this, he understood it immediately.

There’s no way. It’s hard not to know about last year’s Global Village laundry detergent incident.

America beat Mumu for the second time, demonstrating a new high-tech electronic warfare mode.

In addition to awakening certain countries, it also made the concept of electronic warfare popular around the world.

However, on another battlefield of the graveyard of empires, people also saw clearly how backward countries can effectively resist and respond in electronic warfare.

No need at all, communication can be done by shouting.

Zayed's words made Kong Ziqian feel depressed.

He knew that he had to demonstrate the full functions of this phone in order to satisfy Zayd.

Originally, he planned to hold back a few tricks when demonstrating the functions of the phone.

Kong Ziqian took a deep breath and began to sort out his thoughts in his mind.

He knew that he had to find a solution quickly, otherwise both he and Imanta might be in danger.

After spending a long time in contact with Africans, he also understood that these people's brains were sometimes not very smart.

If he hadn't told them about its many functions, these people would definitely not have the intelligence to think that this thing could be used in this way.

As Zayd looked at Kong Ziqian in deep thought, a sly look flashed in his eyes.

He knew that this little fat boy from China had begun to think seriously.

He believed that Kong Ziqian would definitely come up with something that would satisfy him.

As Kong Xiaopang’s girlfriend, Imanda was extremely panicked.

She was complaining in her heart. Although Kong Ziqian had a good family background and abilities, that was only compared to an ordinary person like her.

In the current situation, in front of this devil called scumbag, these are not enough.

Because it is worthless.

She didn't know what cards Kong Ziqian had to trade with Zayed.

At this time, Fat Kong smiled slightly.

Laziness by nature is his biggest character flaw.

But, it also means that he has a big heart.

When encountering big things, he doesn't panic.

"My friend, I know you might think that in a country like yours where civil war is raging, the communications network would be chaotic and full of holes.

But that’s not the case, you know?

Although it is a fact that Somalia is in the midst of civil war, it is precisely because all parties are supported by external forces that, for their own interests, have laid communication networks in Somalia, which has inadvertently formed a relatively comprehensive communication network coverage in Africa.

This is like an unexpected gift in troubled times, giving us more possibilities to connect with the world.”

Zaid heard this, his mouth curled up with a hint of disdain, and suddenly interrupted,
"So, each of us needs to prepare more than three SIM cards for mobile phones."

With a playful look on his face, he crossed his arms, leaned back, found a comfortable sitting position, and then spoke lightly,
"Since you are still not giving up on your so-called military cell phone, then go ahead and talk. I have plenty of time.

Let me also expand my horizons and see what your mobile phone is capable of and how it can be used in complex situations like ours in Somalia.

However, out of friendship, I have to remind you that the more time you waste, the fewer people alive there are out there."
