Commander's Anime Harem

Some conspiracy theorists even think that Xiao Renwu's appearance, which is exactly the same as that of the People's Revolutionary League, is fake and was fabricated by the People's Revolutionary League. If the fleet could not be easily seen with a space telescope in low-Earth orbit, these people would probably dare to shout out anything.

Of course, they still believed that Xiao Renwu might be an alien in human skin. Many media people came to the Kingdom of Azadistan just for the gimmick of taking close-up photos and revealing the true face of the alien leader. Otherwise, who would have the time to come to this war-torn country?

In addition to reporters, civilians who came to watch the fun, and security personnel, there were tourists from all over the world. Many of them were rich, time-poor people who were bored to death. Just to see the aliens and their warships in person, they risked their lives and ran to the Kingdom of Azadistan, a war-torn country where the civil war had not yet subsided. In Marina's eyes, these people simply did not take their own lives seriously.

The above groups of people are all okay, at least they have official identities, generally will not do anything wrong, and are relatively stable. What bothers Marina the most is that many civilians in the port may include opposition members or terrorists from other Middle Eastern countries.

As someone who deals with religious figures every day, she knows only too well what people brainwashed by extreme religious ideas will do and what kind of damage they will cause for the empty promise of a bride and heaven. Marina has no choice but to spend more energy sending out her loyal guards to conduct a full range of security checks on the people pouring in. Fortunately, Marina also has an excellent adjutant, Celine, to entrust with important tasks.

In addition to arranging more people to perform security checks and maintain order, Celine also selected soldiers who were absolutely loyal to Marina and arranged them into the MS unit. They drove the long-nosed type, the main combat aircraft of the Kingdom Army, which was extremely backward compared to the current military equipment on Earth, but still had considerable deterrent power. It was equipped with a 30mm cannon under the head and replaced with non-lethal ammunition, such as smoke bombs, tear gas bombs, etc., which were enough to complete large-area coverage tasks.

After the long-nosed machine guns were removed from their arms with 200mmX25-caliber smoothbore cannons, and after a special person arranged by Celine checked that the cannons were loaded with non-lethal ammunition, they were all fired out and deployed to key positions. Celine also arranged her own people at the command center and important communication nodes to ensure that there would be no accidental hits due to poor communication.

All of them were dispatched and deployed to key locations. People were deployed at the command center and important communication nodes to ensure that there would be no accidental attacks due to poor communication.

In order to ensure the safety of this visit, Celine even resorted to bullying and used Marina's reputation and status in the country at the cost of offending the military to force all the thugs who were supposed to be stationed at the port, wearing gorgeous silk robes and used as a ceremonial guard, to be transferred to the palace. Although the thug pilots are noble flying dogs, and the second-class people are all trained abroad and have no deep entanglements with domestic forces, they have a shallow relationship with the traditionalists. Does that mean they have a good relationship with the reformists?

In addition, all well-known terrorist organizations in the world use thug-style tactics, and no one knows how much sand AEU has mixed in. Moreover, there are not many pilots who pledge their loyalty to Marina, the leader in public. Privately, they more or less look down on the princess for being able to do anything, so this group of people should not be used if possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.

While Marina and Celine were doing their best to maintain order, Xiao Renwu finally arrived, going directly to the Black Sea from the territory of the People's Revolutionary League.

“BOOM—BOOM—BOOM!!”

The first to appear were the ZPLUS, the escort force. Dazzling light blue tail jets flashed, butterfly-shaped sonic boom clouds drifted away, and twelve fighter planes as sharp as swords roared arrogantly. Then, amid the complex sound waves of boos and admiration from the onlookers, the leg engines started to reverse thrust, and the bodies completed the transformation into MS form within a few seconds.

ZPLUS reduced its main thrust power and slowly landed on the concrete ground of the port of the Kingdom of Azadistan with an elegant posture that was completely different from the arrogant and roaring posture when it flew in. The thrusters on the side of its legs blew up a small amount of dust, and its tall and majestic metal body stood tall above the ground!

"Is this the Gundam of the Higra Empire?"

Marina, dressed in simple yet luxurious clothes, looked up at the neatly arranged machines, and sighed at her Gundam, which was completely different from the Celestial Being. Her face seemed to hide a sharp weapon, and hope emerged in her heart. Xiao Renwu, who had such a powerful war weapon but expressed friendship to her, would definitely be able to help the Kingdom of Azadistan.

"Is this the Gundam of the Higra Empire?"

Unlike the princess, whose knowledge of military equipment was limited, Celine, an adjutant and former mobile suit pilot, had a more complex experience with the ZPLUS. She felt both relieved and apprehensive. She was relieved that the Higla Empire was truly formidable, no mere paper tiger. She was apprehensive, wondering if she was truly worthy of relying on such a powerful empire. Honestly, Celine felt that while she was pretty, she couldn't compare to the women surrounding Xiao Renwu. Any one of them could easily crush her. Therefore, she felt that the ruler of an empire wouldn't expend so much energy on a single woman.

Xilin really had no idea what Xiao Renwu was trying to do.

"Is this the Gundam of the Higra Empire?"

The third question was about the terrorists hiding in the bustling crowd and preparing to cause trouble. In order to cope with the strict security checks of the Kingdom of Azadistan, they had nothing on them. If they wanted to get their equipment, they had to leave the venue. Moreover, they had been beaten bloody by the four strongest men in the world driving Gundams, so they really had no confidence to deal with the ZPLUS, which looked very powerful and could switch between MA and MS forms.

Chapter 237: Travels to the Kingdom of Azadistan 2

The powerful and arrogant arrival of ZPLUS Gundam brought more fear to the onlookers besides anger. They were afraid of the giant spirit standing at the port, like a giant god emerging from mythology. Xiao Renwu had to thank the Celestial Being Organization again. They had not once boasted about eradicating the entire world by force, and used mobile suits that far exceeded the current level of human technology to crush the three major countries, and indeed curbed the war.

In short, it was because the Celestial Being kept his word that whoever started the dispute would be beaten to death that he was able to create people's fear of Gundam. Otherwise, for some diehard elements who would not cry until they saw the coffin, Xiao Renwu would have to find a few monkeys to kill in front of the chickens, which was too troublesome. So he had to thank the Celestial Being who had been uprooted by him.

As for people's anger, there is no good way to resolve it. No matter which country they are in, there will always be a group of people who love this land very much. They will fight for it and die for it. The Higla Empire's appearance was so disrespectful and it was so arrogant on the territory of a sovereign country on Earth. Any normal citizen would be dissatisfied with it, not to mention the patriots, who were also the group that booed the loudest.

The importance of Celine, the adjutant with excellent administrative skills, was highlighted again. Although the soldiers she arranged were also dissatisfied with the Higla Empire, they still tried their best to maintain order and gave earnest advice to the civilians who booed loudly. The soldiers knew in their hearts that only with the help of the Higla Empire could they revive their already dilapidated motherland and at least allow the next generation to have a full meal in this distorted era of constant disputes.

But there are always only a few people who can see the future of the kingdom in the darkness, especially when the secular faction of the kingdom cannot suppress the religious faction for a while, and foreign forces have to intervene.

"Aliens get out!"

"Yes, aliens get out of our country!"

The already extremely xenophobic national sentiment was instantly ignited under the instigation of religious factions. Especially many young people who live in ivory towers and have not been beaten by society and whose values ​​have not even been fully formed can easily become carried away by passion.

From the sporadic shouts of a few people at the beginning to the uniform noise, many people who didn't know what was going on and just came to watch the fun were infected by the atmosphere, and rushed towards Gundam as if they were injected with chicken blood. They brought with them those who still had their sanity and were unwilling to move forward, and crashed into the defense line of the Kingdom soldiers who were performing security tasks.

"Back off! Back off! I order you to back off!"

"Calm down and back off!"

The officer specially arranged by Celine stood on the high platform to command the kingdom's soldiers wearing explosion-proof suits and holding explosion-proof shields to form a shield wall to hold back the excited crowd and prevent them from getting close to the port. Facing the emotional people of the kingdom, the soldiers knew that these people were driven by people who were hiding behind the scenes and fanning the flames. They had no way to swing the solid rubber riot batons held high in their right hands and could only give the final advice in the loudest voice.

"Shilin, send reinforcements to the front immediately and transfer all the guards over there!"

Marina, who had been observing the situation at the port, immediately noticed the emergency and ordered Celine to support the port. She didn't want to let the aid she had worked so hard to obtain go to waste. The help of the Shigra Empire was very important and was related to the life and death of the entire kingdom.

"But your safety..."

Faced with Marina's rare serious order, Celine, who was decisive and strictly followed the princess's orders, hesitated this time. Compared with the assistance of the Higra Empire, she was more concerned about the safety of Princess Marina. In her opinion, if the kingdom lost Xiao Renwu's help this time, it would still have a chance to seek help from other countries, but once the princess was in trouble, the reformist interest groups united around Marina would probably fall apart immediately.

"Don't worry about me! It's already this late, I can take care of myself, go quickly!"

Seeing that Celine had not yet carried out her orders, Marina, who was so anxious that a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, turned around and rolled up her skirt towards Celine, revealing the light bulletproof vest hidden under the luxurious robe and the pistol holster tied to her white thigh. Marina made such an indecent move just to let Celine, who had been accompanying her all the time, feel at ease to carry out her orders.

"Your Highness, please take care of yourself. I'll be there right away!"

Seeing Marina wearing the latest bulletproof vest that could withstand a single 12.7mm direct hit, Celine felt much more at ease. After giving a few instructions to the security personnel responsible for the princess's safety, she immediately rushed to the nearest communication node.

After arriving at the communication node set up inside the building, Celine, who had already thought of a response plan on the way here, immediately issued orders to the Kingdom soldiers over the communication channel: "Send a small team of proboscises to the port square to maintain order. Snipers, pay attention to the nearby tall buildings. The bomb disposal team will separate the crowd. Non-lethal force may be used when necessary. I will bear all responsibilities!"

"MS team received, move immediately, need guidance from a guide."

Since they were in a densely populated capital with citizens all around them, the long-nosed driver, after receiving the order, suffered from the extremely poor vision of the vehicle under his crotch, and could only ask Celine to send a guide to help him and his team reach the designated location.

"Give me five minutes and the guide will be here."

Celine responded in a hurry, as she didn't want any problems to arise with her trump card, the Long Nose Squad.

"Back off! I'll warn you again, back off!!!"

With a backbone, or a leader who could take the blame, the explosion-proof shield wall formed by the kingdom's soldiers began to advance to both sides. They used the explosion-proof sticks in their hands to punish the guys who shouted the loudest and spit on the shields, and separated them.

"Ah! It hurts!"

"Hit people!"

"Mobile Suit is coming!"

The soldiers still held back, hitting only the shoulders and not the vital parts. Otherwise, with the riot batons weighing nearly four pounds in their hands, they could have really beaten the victim to death, and it could have really killed him.

The screams of the people, the scolding of the soldiers, the trembling of the long nose when moving, the clicking sounds of the cameras of the reporters who saw the big news, the chaotic footsteps one after another, the scene became more and more chaotic, and the ZPLUS Gundams that caused this chaos still stood on the ground, watching everything happening on the ground like sculptures, as if they were standing in another time and space, and everything happening before their eyes was just a movie.

"Float—boom—boom—!"

A deafening roar came from the sea in the distance. A huge monster like a deep-sea monster was slowly sailing towards the noisy port. When the situation was almost out of control, Xiao Renwu's ship, the Queen of Glory, finally arrived at the scene.

A technological creation that was larger and more powerful than a mountain blocked out the midday sun. The thick shadow and heavy momentum brought by its enormous body made the originally quarreling crowd in the port square suddenly quiet down like a chicken with its neck strangled. People seemed to have lost the ability to speak, with their mouths wide open, looking up at this giant beast crawling on the ground. The only sound in the huge square was the sound of the drone taking pictures.

The hatch opened, and Xiao Renwu, wearing a neat general's uniform, stepped onto the carpet laid by the Kingdom of Azadistan, which stretched all the way to the royal palace. At this moment, the twelve ZPLUS Gundams all raised the beam particle cannons on their right arms in unison, forming sword gates full of symbols of steel and force for Xiao Renwu to pass through.

The Cyclops, emitting a cold aura of steel, held machine guns decorated with ceremonial features and marched in resounding steps along the edge of the carpet in vertical columns. They were both ceremonial guards and escort troops. Logically, the ceremonial guards should be provided by the host country, but the Cyclops far surpassed the soldiers of the Kingdom of Azadistan in terms of temperament and deterrence. Perhaps it was because of Xiao Renwu's flamboyant appearance and the strong deterrence of the Gundam and combat robots that no one thought that this was against etiquette.

"Your Highness, the atmosphere here isn't very good." Xiao Renwu looked around at the civilians with hostile eyes, feeling completely baffled. However, due to his manners, he couldn't repeatedly rub his host's face on the ground. He could only shake hands politely with Marina as she approached, and hinted with a smile, "It needs cleaning. If your Highness agrees, I can do it for you."

After saying that, Xiao Renwu took advantage of Marina's daze and pinched the soft little hand of the innocent girl who had never experienced sex, and even scratched her palm a few times.

"Ah~" Marina let out a weak cry of surprise at the man's little action. She glared at Xiao Renwu in embarrassment and anger, her eyes as calm and gentle as a lake filled with anger, as if to say that there were reporters around, what if she was photographed?

"I've taken the photo, what are you afraid of when I'm here?"

Xiao Renwu still had a businesslike smile on his face, and used his eyes to communicate superficially with the girl.

"Hmm!" Marina, who understood Xiao Renwu's hint, said that she had never seen such a shameless person, but for the sake of the country, she could only swallow her feeling of being at a disadvantage.

Marina quickly adjusted herself and began to communicate with Xiao Renwu at the official level between the two countries with a warm smile. Then she invited him to rest in the palace. Normally, there shouldn't be any accidents, but when the two were about to reach the gate of the Kingdom of Azadistan, something happened.

"boom!"

A sharp gunshot suddenly rang out in the silent meeting hall. Marina's face turned pale instantly. Regardless of her own safety, she jumped up and rushed towards Xiao Renwu, trying to block the bullet with her body. Celine was still calling the sniper team on the communication channel, but there was only silence as no one answered the communicator. People in the crowd wearing traditional religious clothing smiled at Xiao Renwu and Marina lying on the ground.

Chapter 238: Travels to the Kingdom of Azadistan 3

There are two types of assassinations of politicians. One is the traditional psychopathic gunman, who is more or less mentally ill, has his own moral standards, and gets the weapons at the right time to carry out assassinations, and then complete the plans promoted by certain interest groups.

The other type is the righteous men who carry out almost suicidal assassination attacks for the justice in their hearts.

They all have some overlap, but one thing they have in common is that they all allow the characters who are hit head-on to live a life in a convertible, and never have to worry about hair loss and heart problems again.

What Xiao Renwu encountered was a psychopathic gunman who used the ancestral craftsmanship of mankind. This was normal. After all, he had severely humiliated the leaders of some inferior countries in the Middle East who wanted to default on their debts, criticized their shameless behavior with righteous words, and thrown them out of the Queen of Glory. If these people were not eunuchs, they would never tolerate such humiliation and would definitely retaliate.

Moreover, Xiao Renwu colluded with the powerful forces headed by the three major countries. With their help and connivance, the business elites of the Ministry of Commerce of the Shigla Empire swept through the international market for food, minerals, primary and secondary industrial products, and medical supplies. They even spent money to pave the way, using high purchase prices and bribes to local officials to carry out predatory buying. In many areas, the food and industrial products had just entered the warehouse, and the business elites of the empire sat in the MS provided by the three major countries, waving handfuls of money in their hands to buy the food or products together with the vehicles carrying them, and then spent money to hire people to drive the vehicles to the transportation points.

Although Xiao Renwu has been vigorously introducing immigrants, there is no end in sight to the day when the entire Greena planet will be filled. Currently, the twelve super cities that can accommodate tens of millions of people are not yet fully inhabited. Except for the capital Xihe City, most cities can be described as empty and ghost towns where even a brick thrown in the middle of the night cannot hit anyone. Therefore, even with better agricultural conditions and technological levels, farming without people is still a painful thing. As a country bumpkin, Xiao Renwu has an inherent fear of hunger, so in addition to increasing the research and development of agricultural technology, he just buys, buys, and then hoards it, so that his insecure soul will be satisfied.

The Higla Empire is like a killer whale that breaks into a fishing ground, and it is a killer whale that pays readily with money in hand, eating and eating all the way, and the fishery owners standing on the shore watching hope that this gentleman will eat more, and it would be best if he eats up most of the goods in their hands. Even the stingy capitalists will sell all their goods to this generous customer who has so much money that it is oozing with oil. This has led to some countries that usually like to haggle, want to make a temple in a snail shell, and are picky, unable to buy anything. After all, normal people know who to choose.

Especially those guys whose food self-sufficiency rate has not been higher since the 21st century. They are helpless in the face of the wealthy and powerful capitalists. They can only kneel down and beg them to sell to them at a price 20% higher than usual, but the ones on the other side are capitalists!

The Shigla Empire wants five times the price. Who the hell wants a bastard like you’re money? Get out of here and don’t disturb me from doing business with my big brother, the sponsor!

The prices of goods in the international market are rising continuously, and some countries are beginning to lack the necessary materials for survival. They have evil ideas and are preparing to assassinate Xiao Renwu. Since I can't solve this problem, then I will deal with the person who created this problem!

When the gunshot was heard, the bullet was already at her ear. Marina's reaction surpassed most people present, but she did not successfully block the bullet for Xiao Renwu because there was someone faster than her.

Debuting as a military figure, it was subsequently thoroughly upgraded and remodeled under Xiao Renwu's strict supervision. The current AK12 can be said to have been reborn, becoming a Gundam of human size. Relying on the quantum computer support of the Queen of Glory stationed at the port, she is able to snipe the enemy sniper with the assault rifle in her hand while flashing to Xiao Renwu's side to block the fatal bullet.

The cunning Snow Wolf killed the sniper with a series of wonderful moves that ordinary people could not see with their naked eyes, and at the same time blocked the bullet with its own body, which fully proved that the humanoids produced by the Glory of Shigla are much more reliable than those produced by some shameless things. After all, some of the products they produce do not even have the most basic user certification and protection.

Xiao Renwu said that such people have no respect for users and always show off their unique exhibitionist fetish. It is better for them to die early and be reborn. They waste air when they are alive and waste land when they die.

"what!"

Marina screamed as she missed the target, because her sight was getting closer and closer to the hard ground. If no one pulled her up, it would be very painful. However, the crowd around her had already fallen into chaos because of the gunshots, and the soldiers loyal to her had not yet realized that their boss was about to be disfigured.

Just when Marina was ready to fall hard, Xiao Renwu reached out to help her and pulled her into his arms to protect her.

Being embraced by a man who was not familiar to Marina, but could be said to be a stranger, was an experience Marina had never had before, except for the embrace of her father when she was a child. She instinctively wanted to leave. In such a public place, the princess of the Kingdom of Azadistan was lying in the arms of the emperor of the Higra Empire. If someone took a picture of her, the public opinion consequences would be too much for the girl to bear.

Xiao Renwu might not have had any scandals, and no media outlet dared to publicly report on his love affairs. They might even make up some stories about the sweet love between the Emperor of the Higla Empire and the Princess of the Kingdom of Azadistan. Anyway, it was nothing for a man, but for Marina, who lived in a backward country with strong religious customs and extreme xenophobia, she knew very well how those religious sects who wanted everyone to follow the teachings would attack her.

"You should let me go."

A blush appeared on Marina's pure and beautiful face as she lay in Xiao Renwu's broad chest. She gently pushed the man's strong chest muscles with her hands and reminded him with a crisp voice.

"Okay, be careful."

Xiao Renwu also knew that he couldn't hold Marina all the time, or in other words, he couldn't hold her all the time before clearing out the anti-reformist forces within the Kingdom of Azadistan. He could only let Marina go first, but Xiao Renwu, who had a good impression of this true saint girl, couldn't help but say words of concern.

“I am conscious, I am mindful.”

Marina was a little reluctant to leave the man's warm embrace full of the opposite sex's atmosphere. In the Kingdom of Azadistan, except for those vulnerable groups and adjutant Celine, the girl had not felt the sincere care of others for a long time.

Xiao Renwu had a pleasant and reassuring smell on him. If Marina wasn't afraid of public opinion issues, she would have wanted to stay for a while, even just a few more minutes.

The daily intrigues and power struggles between religious factions and reformists make Marina feel exhausted both physically and mentally. However, the people's expectations for a better life and the future of the country rest on the girl's frail shoulders. Without many people to help her, the princess can only steer the Kingdom of Azadistan, a leaky ship that is at risk of capsizing at any time, through dangerous waters surrounded by powerful enemies, heading towards an unknown direction.

Under the protection of the kingdom's soldiers, Xiao Renwu and Marina walked side by side into the prepared indoor venue. The comfortable and harmonious atmosphere between the two was as if the armed security personnel around them and the chaotic and noisy sounds outside did not exist. It was like a girl inviting a boy to her home, and the assassination just now was just an insignificant episode before the conversation began.

The important figures entered the safe room, and the security personnel outside breathed a sigh of relief. They finally didn't have to hold up heavy explosion-proof shields to defend against bullets that might hit them at any time. Now their only job was to defend the building.

"Replace the backup team immediately. Send some people to the sniper point to investigate what's going on. Be aware that the enemy may still be nearby. Search carefully. The MS team maintain formation and guard key traffic points. Report any suspicious vehicles immediately!"

"Thug-style team, please return to the airport and wait. This is the princess's order!"

Celine, who was in charge of the command, hurriedly adjusted the security at the scene. The assassination just now was most likely that the killer killed the soldiers at the sniper point and launched a sniper attack using the guns of the Kingdom of Azadistan. She sent people up to check the situation and ensure the first scene.

The long-nosed MS troops, which serve as the armed forces of the Kingdom of Azadistan, are still protecting vital transportation hubs. The chaos caused by the assassination is not so easy to quell. If the MS are not deployed in advance, there will be a serious stampede.

The last step is to transfer the unstable thug-like troops back to the airport. In this way, even if there are still terrorists, they have no way to break through the defense of the palace without heavy weapons and MS. This is the defense center arranged by Celine herself. The walls are embedded with armor belts, and supplies are placed in key positions, which is enough to ensure that the people inside can live a worry-free life.

"The backup team has arrived at the designated location and has stabilized the situation. We also need an ambulance. There are civilian injuries."

"We are deploying. Move the injured to an open area first!"

"Yes!"

"The mob-style team is preparing to return to the airport. The identification code has been sent."

"The long-nose team has not found any suspicious vehicles yet. Continue to maintain defense."

"Alas, Princess Marina, the country depends on you."

After doing all this, Celine could no longer maintain her tense state. She leaned against the wall and slowly slid down to sit on the cold floor. She looked in the direction of the Azadistan Palace with tired eyes and said that in the terrifying moment just now, her clothes were all soaked with cold sweat. Xiao Renwu finally walked into the palace safely. As Marina's deputy, she could rest assured for the time being.

Chapter 239: Travels in Azadistan 4

Although the Kingdom of Azadistan had developed to the year 2307 and finally possessed an urban cluster close to the level of modern technology, their royal palace still followed the traditional religious customs and continued to maintain a white exterior with a golden onion dome design.

After Marina came to power, she tried to improve it to an architectural style closer to that of mainstream countries and to obtain a considerable amount of funds internationally. However, due to internal opposition and Celine's advice that if the kingdom's traditional style was changed, it would not only lose the support of the reformists, but would also completely break up with the religious faction representing traditional conservatism, causing great opposition from the people.

Apart from the fact that Marina's determination to build her own home will not change, her greatest strength is that she listens to advice. She quickly gave up the idea of ​​reconstruction and planned to use the funds to improve people's livelihood and build schools and hospitals.

Wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Even a normal, stable country with an anti-corruption mechanism has a lot of corrupt elements who need to be liquidated with machine guns, not to mention the Kingdom of Azadistan, where the first, third, and fifth religious factions with strong military forces provoked a civil war and beat up the reformists, while the second, fourth, and sixth reformists used high-tech equipment to fight back with the help of international friends. Although they had a large number of soldiers and generals, their weapons and equipment were backward, the soldiers had no tactics, and the officers were all nobles and religious figures who saw the situation was not good and ran away with their buckets. On Sunday, a big fight broke out, and the two sides, which suffered heavy losses, sat down to negotiate.

Marina's funds were quickly divided up by the reformists and religious factions. They probably left some for the princess, the nominal object of their loyalty, out of respect for Marina's deceased predecessor. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have left her a penny.

Religious sects use the funds to repair and build more religious sites on the country, and at the same time provide subsidies to religious personnel who do not engage in production and only need to preach to the lower-class believers who can only rely on religious beliefs to numb themselves due to extreme poverty, so that they can travel abroad, under the pretext of studying abroad.
