Chapter 1703 Kamala

The next day, after everyone got up and had breakfast, they gathered together in the lobby on the first floor, completed the check-out procedures, and then left the hotel together.

Zhang Quan got up earlier than everyone else. He had rented the car in advance. Zhang Quan was responsible for driving. Xiao Bing, Hong Rose and Zhang Xin sat in the back, with Hong Rose sitting in the middle.

Li Hong originally planned to sit in the back, but when he saw Xiao Bing had already sat there first, his eyes couldn't help showing a bit of resentment.

Xiao Bing also noticed the look of resentment in Li Hong's eyes. Although it was just fleeting, it was basically difficult for ordinary people like Li Hong to hide anything from Xiao Bing, but Xiao Bing didn't take it to heart. Like, would a tiger still want to deal with an ant who wants to plot against him? An ant is no threat to a tiger at all.

An ant is no threat to a tiger, and Li Hong is no different from a weak ant to Xiao Bing.

This dilapidated car drove all the way out of the capital city. It was all on dirt roads, and after two hours, no one could be seen. It became more and more remote and deserted.

Zhang Quan said while driving: "There are very few highways in Africa, but the section of road we just passed through is expected to be built into a highway this year. Our Chinese government invested money to help them build it. Here in Africa, we in China spend a lot of money and effort to help them build roads, build schools, and build houses. In addition, we also encourage businessmen to open factories here to increase employment opportunities for local people. Now all countries in the world Among them, China may provide the largest aid to Africa."

Xiao Bing hummed, feeling proud in his heart, and sighed: "This is the responsibility of a big country, the responsibility of a big country."

Zhang Quan said with a smile: "You are right. This is proof that China's status in the international community is constantly improving. The whole world can see China's responsibility, but Country M is gradually withdrawing from Africa. Sooner or later, China's influence in the world will catch up with Country M in all aspects and be on par with Country M."

Xiao Bing's eyes showed longing and he said: "I am also looking forward to that day."

Red Rose and Li Hong seemed a little unable to get in on the topic of Xiao Bing and Zhang Quan, but Zhang Xin was very interested in what Xiao Bing and Zhang Quan said. She pushed up her glasses and said, "According to Analyzing the country's current development situation, it will be possible to catch up with the economic level of Western developed countries in about twenty years. By then, China's influence should be comparable to that of Country M."

Li Hong said doubtfully: "Isn't the current economic aggregate the second largest in the world?"

"That's the total economic volume." Zhang Xin said, "I'm talking about GDP per capita, not gross national product."

"Oh." Li Hong was a little ignorant about this, and obviously didn't know as much as Zhang Xin.

Xiao Bing glanced at Zhang Xin with great interest. Zhang Xin had a bookish aura that few people nowadays have. Although her appearance was not that stunning, this aura gave her She adds a touch of charm.

Zhang Xin seemed to notice that Xiao Bing was looking at him, so he also glanced at Xiao Bing.

Xiao Bing smiled and said, "You still know a lot about these things."

"Yeah, I know a little bit about it." Zhang Xin said with a smile, "My father also likes to talk about these national things, and I am also more interested in this kind of news and newspapers."

"Oh." Xiao Bing said, "Then do you think that if China's per capita income catches up with developed countries, by then, China will really be on par with Country M?"

"At least there is no problem in terms of influence." Zhang Xin began to talk eloquently, "In today's world, it is unlikely that a war will occur between big countries, because there are too many things to worry about. , so the real competition is influence and comprehensive strength. Our country has now begun to take off economically. Although there is still a big gap with country M in terms of military strength, China has been developing peacefully in these years, with economy first. That’s because we understand a truth: a country will be strong only if it is rich!”

Xiao Bing sighed: "It's a good saying that only when you are rich can you be strong. Many men don't understand this truth. I didn't expect you, a woman, to understand it."

Zhang Xin smiled lightly and said, "What you said is a bit discriminatory towards us women."

"No, no, I'm not discriminating. It's just that most women don't care that much about the country's political situation."

"Well, that's right." Zhang Xin seemed to agree with Xiao Bing's explanation, so he continued, "Just like humans, we can't walk on one leg, we have to walk on two legs. A small number of more radical Chinese people think about how not to take action or start a war every time there is a conflict between the country and a foreign country. However, they never think that what the country really needs now is a peaceful environment. Once the country One day you become truly wealthy, and other aspects will also get better accordingly.”

Xiao Bing sighed: "Yes, the Soviet Union is an example. It had an arms race with Country M, but was dragged to death by Country M. Because the economy could not keep up, it could not avoid the disintegration of the country in the end. The end. When it comes to military strength, they are no weaker than Country M, but Country M won this war without smoke by relying on its economic advantages."

Zhang Xin glanced at Xiao Bing in surprise and said, "There are not many people who are as sensible as you nowadays."

"Wrong. In fact, there are many more. In fact, no matter what everyone thinks, the final thought is for the good of the country. I hope that the country can be strong and that China will never be threatened by any country in the future. After all, the history of World War II is really It’s so sad.”

Zhang Quan had been quietly listening to Xiao Bing and Zhang Xin's conversation in front, and finally interrupted and said with a smile: "You two, let's not discuss these matters about national affairs for now. "

Zhang Xin said with a smile: "Okay, I was just idle and bored, so I just chatted casually. Brother Quan, do you remember? The last time we came here, we encountered someone with a gun snatching money in Africa. Fortunately, you took action and just He beat the man down and then took him to the police station. Brother Xiao Bing, you don't know, Brother Quan was so powerful at that time."

Zhang Quan smiled sheepishly and said, "It's just a coincidence, it's no big deal."

Zhang Xin said: "That's no coincidence. Brother Quan knows Kung Fu. Chinese Kung Fu, it's very powerful!"

Xiao Bing smiled and said: "I must see it if I have the chance."

Xiao Bing knew that Zhang Quan's strength had reached the Ming Jin stage. Although it was nothing, he was still considered a master among ordinary people. Of course, if he really encountered an armed robbery, the Ming Jin stage was still It’s not enough. I guess the African at that time must not have imagined that Zhang Quan was so powerful, so he was careless for a moment. Otherwise, since the opponent had a gun in his hand, even Zhang Quan would not be able to do anything, and Ming Jinqi would not be able to escape. Bullets.

Sure enough, although Zhang Quan said that he had been admired by Zhang Xin for a while, he still didn't feel really proud or careless. He still said: "That time is really nothing. If the other party is empty-handed, he is not my opponent, but then This time the opponent has a gun. As long as he is more vigilant, even I can't do anything to him. We should be more careful in the future and try not to easily provoke their people. Many locals here have guns in their hands. , very difficult to provoke."

Zhang Quan's voice paused, and then he said with a wry smile: "Of course, even if we want to provoke them, we probably won't have the chance to provoke these locals, because we will have to walk in the next two days, and we won't There are no crowds anymore. If we drive for more than an hour, we will pass by a small village. There is a store where we can buy some simple food and water. We will park the car there and buy some. Bring some necessities and set off with those things on your back. You will have to rely on the food and water for the next two days. When we return, we will come here to pick up the car."

Zhang Quan spoke eloquently, easily giving people a sense of security and trust.

An hour later, several people passed by a village, drove in, and parked in front of a store.

Zhang Quan turned back to look at Xiao Bing and Hong Meigui and said: "This is the only store here. People in the village give them respect, so it is absolutely safe for us to park the car here. Let's get out of the car. , buy some food and water first, and then we will set off."

Xiao Bing agreed, got out of the car first, and then walked out of the car holding Hong Rose.

After walking into the store, the owner of the store was a short and stocky black man in his forties. When he saw Zhang Quan, he immediately opened his arms and spoke happily in fluent English: "My brother, I'm very happy for you. s arrival."

Zhang Quan turned back to Xiao Bing and said with a smile: "This is Kamala, the boss here. He speaks English very well, and he is a rare returnee. He once studied abroad, but in the end he was willing to come back. "

Xiao Bing also expressed some admiration. Living in most countries abroad is probably better than returning here.

The black man smiled and hugged Xiao Bing, and then said boldly: "Old friend, it's better not to flatter me. I just want to make a small contribution to my country. In addition to opening this store here, I also ran a school where my wife and I personally taught local children.”

After listening to Kamala's words, Xiao Bing showed respect for Kamala.
