Chapter 53 Egypt

Chapter 53 Egypt ([-])

The solo flight arrived in Egypt on Wednesday after being notified by Rafael.This time he took a large transport plane Y-88 to fly directly to Egypt. The plane also carried two "air intelligence radars", which were to be shipped to Libya.

The Libyan government urgently purchased this "air intelligence radar" from Shan's military industry because his old two were bombed out three months ago.The opposition used RPG to blow up two "air intelligence radars" to pieces, and now the air defense alarm in their capital is in a state of semi-paralysis. Any early warning, which makes the local government very anxious.

Libya is a neighboring country of Egypt. In the 30 years since Gaddafi's death, the civil war has never stopped, and the country is still in chaos.The air traffic system almost collapsed, and large transport planes dare not land at their airports.The solo flight happened to be in Egypt this time, so I chose to land here, and then transported the goods to Libya via Egypt. The journey from Egypt to Libya was more than 2300 kilometers.

******

The plane landed at Cairo International Airport, and it took 11 hours to fly from City X in China to Egypt. The solo flight took off at 8 o'clock last night and arrived in Egypt at exactly [-] o'clock in the morning.Rafael has been waiting there for the arrival of a solo flight.

As soon as the solo flight left the airport, the dry air hit his nasal cavity fiercely.

Sure enough, he has arrived in the Middle East.

Rafael came to pick them up in two Hummers. As soon as he saw Solo Fei, he immediately jumped out of the car and went straight to meet him.

Under the dry and hot sun, a white figure walked slowly forward, his long robe fluttering in the wind, his tall and handsome figure.Solo hasn't seen him for a long time, but he still feels a little embarrassed when he thinks about the last time they met.

Rafael had a relaxed smile on his face, and a pair of fiery eyes flashed under the black sunglasses. He was very happy to see the little monster again: "Welcome to Egypt!"

Solo is wearing a pair of brown sunglasses and a light blue suit. This suit has just been changed on the plane, and he can barely put it on in order to see Admiral Jebal.

"Why are you here to pick me up?" Shan Fei also smiled at him.

The sun shone on Shan Fei's face, his bronzed skin, coupled with his charming smile, made people feel that he was so dazzling for a while.

Rafael couldn't help but think, is beauty in the eye of the beholder?Why do you think it looks better than the last time I saw it?

Solo was uncomfortable being stared at by him: "Hey!"

Rafael came back to his senses a little bit: "Zhebal is receiving foreign guests. What's the matter? Is it not enough for me to pick you up in person?"

Solo raised his eyebrows: "How can I let the prince go there in person?"

Rafael said impatiently: "Get in the car quickly! Stop talking nonsense!"

Solo smiled with satisfaction.That's right, when did the two of them speak so politely?

Solo Fei came to Egypt this time in addition to the original eight team members, and also brought a professional sales team, who were specially here to do demonstration sales work.

Ethan was asked to leave by Shan Yi, and now he became his personal bodyguard, Artest was transferred by the commander.

Cairo Airport is not big, and the modern facilities are also very simple. There is a row of dilapidated taxis parked at the gate.Compared with Rafael's Hummer, it's really a heaven and earth.

Several people got into the carriage, Rafael pulled Shan Fei to his side and looked at his face carefully.There is a scratch on Shan Fei's side face, which was accidentally hit by glass shards in Hong Kong last time. Now the wound is healed, but there is a pink scar left, because his skin color is darker, so it looks a bit obvious.

Regardless of the presence of others, Rafael stretched out his hand to caress the scar: "How did you do it? It wasn't there when I saw it last time?"

Shan Fei froze for a moment, then pursed his lips: "It's nothing, I accidentally scratched it."

Rafael glared at him: "How careless you are, every time I see you, you have new injuries."

Shan Fei pushed his hand away, and looked out the window embarrassedly: "It's okay."

Rafael is also a person who wants face, he doesn't want to make fun of himself in front of so many people.He withdrew his hand and reproached in a low voice: "Be careful, don't keep on rampage."

Solo sighed helplessly: "Oh, you think I want to."

Rafael: "You are restless, like a beast."

Shan Fei rolled his eyes at him: "You are a beast!"

Rafael: "You're not a beast, so why are you running around all day?"

Solo: "I'm running around at work! It's not like you play with lions and horses when you have nothing to do all day!"

Rafael roared angrily: "Who has nothing to do all day, I am very busy!"

Flying solo: "Why are you so busy that you come to Egypt? Why don't you go about your own business?"

Raphael glared: "...!"

Facts have proved that the friendly atmosphere between the two of them has never been able to last for more than 3 minutes.

Rafael stretched his neck and took a deep breath, then turned his face out of the window angrily.Ajie, who was sitting in the back seat, was holding back a painful smile.

At 10:[-] in the morning, the group checked into the State Guesthouse in Egypt.For fear of neglecting Prince Rafael, Jebal sent someone to accompany him and arrange all the work.

Solo was placed in a suite.This suite is just next door to the Prince.

This "state guest house" in Egypt has been around for some years, and the equipment is still quite new, but the appearance is a typical "Turkish-Florentine" building with white walls and red tiles, and a pointed roof.The red Persian carpet in the suite covers the whole room, the gorgeous wallpaper fills the interior, and the furniture with golden lines makes the whole room look very noble and luxurious.

Solo tidied up casually, then walked into the bathroom to take a shower.

Suddenly, the phone in the room rang, and Shan Fei came out from under the shower with dripping hair, and answered the phone in the bathroom: "Hello."

Rafael: "How about we go out for a walk later?"

Solo: "Huh?"

Rafael: "Zhebal won't meet you until 08:30 tomorrow morning. I have nothing else to do today. Let's go for a walk together?"

Solo: "Where are you going?"

Rafael: "Where do you want to go?"

Solo Fei thought that it was impossible to just stay in the hotel for an afternoon when he finally came to Egypt, right? "I do whatever I want."

Rafael: "I'll ask the driver to take us around, how about it?"

Solo is a country bumpkin who has been locked up in the military camp for eight years. It is of course good for him to go out for a walk: "Okay."

Rafael: "I'll wait for you downstairs in 10 minutes."

Solo: "Huh? So fast?"

Rafael: "Otherwise, why don't you put on makeup like a woman?"

Shan Fei shouted at him: "I'm taking a shower!"

When Rafael heard it, he automatically created a picture of him without clothes on, and suddenly felt dry mouth: "Okay, I'll give you 10 minutes, is that okay?"

Solo flight: "No, 15 minutes is enough."

After a while, Solo put on a white shirt, casually put on a pair of jeans, and walked downstairs quickly.Ajie and Jiguang also followed, and the others were free to move about.

Rafael arranged Ajie and Jiguang in the car behind, and then drove forward in the same car as Solo, with Jebal's assistant driving.

Cairo is located at the junction of Europe, Asia and Africa. The beautiful Nile River passes through the city. It has a population of more than 600 million and is one of the oldest cities in the world.There are many descendants of Europeans and Africans on the streets of Egypt. People of different skin colors grow and multiply here. The ancient and diverse culture makes this metropolis in the Arab world very colorful.

Shuttle on the wide roads in the city center, no traffic lights commanding, buses, cars and pedestrians running around in disorder, the doors of the buses are not closed during driving, and they can stop at any time for passengers to get on and off.Even horse-drawn carriages and donkeys can be seen walking leisurely through the streets.

Shan Fei looked at the scenery outside the window curiously, and couldn't believe that such a city was actually the legendary Egypt.

Rafael looked at his incredible eyes and suddenly found it very interesting: "What? Isn't the road in China like this?"

Solo: "How is that possible! Our country is very orderly, how could it be so chaotic."

Rafael leaned his upper body against him: "When will you invite me to visit China?"

Solo: "If you want to visit China, you have to be received by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I don't have such a big face."

Rafael turned his face to himself arrogantly: "I'm going to your house!"

Solo's face was squeezed into a ball with his hands, his mouth was pouted like a canary, and he struggled hard: "You should live in Diaoyutai!"

Rafael looked at the little red mouth pouting high, and couldn't help but want to kiss him again.He quickly lowered his head and pecked his lips: "I don't want to go to Diaoyutai, I want to go to your house!"

Shan Fei broke down and tore off his hands, then rubbed his cheeks that were so painful from his pinching: "Pervert!"

Rafael stared at him with an unhappy expression, like a child who couldn't get candy: "Why don't you let me go to your house."

Solo: "Is my home a park? Come whenever you want?"

Rafael: "I didn't let you come to my house to play last time, but now you don't want to go to your house, cheapskate!"

Solo was speechless. He felt that sometimes Rafael would mess around like an ignorant child, and would play his temper willfully. This guy probably did this when he was a child, and he really didn't bother to talk to him.

"Where are you taking me?" Shan Fei changed the topic.

"Apart from those broken rocks, what else is there to do here?" Rafael curled his lips.

"You mean the pyramid?" Solo Fei's eyes glowed.

"Do you want to go?" Raphael looked at his expectant expression, and thought to himself that he should take him there.

"Well, I haven't seen the legendary pyramid yet."

"Then let's go there." Rafael told the driver a place, and the driver turned around and drove on another road.

There are three large pyramids in the Giza area (Giza), ten kilometers southwest of Cairo, namely the Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaura.

After a while, they arrived in the Giza area, and the driver parked the car.

Solo jumped off the sand with one foot, and immediately raised a cloud of dust.

At this moment, at a glance, there is a piece of yellow sand, plus a few huge stone bumps made of yellow soil, and a hot sun.

Shan Fei looked at everything in front of him dumbfounded: "Is this the legendary pyramid?"

Rafael smiled maliciously: "How about it, isn't the 4000-year-old monument spectacular?"

Flying solo: "..."

In front of them, two policemen on camels passed by and gave them a friendly salute.The two policemen probably saw Rafael's license plate, which belonged to the royal family, and they guessed that the person on the car should be unusual.

Raphael nodded slightly to them.

Ajie jumped out of the car behind and walked to Solo Fei: "Wow, that's a wet (sphinx) statue!"

Ji Guang squinted his eyes, raised his hands to block the dazzling sunlight in front of his eyes: "It seems a little old."

Ajie: "Nonsense! It's been 4000 years, can it not be old?"

Aurora took a few steps forward: "It's really magnificent. It's still standing for 4000 years. It really is a spectacle."

Solo Fei didn't know how to sigh when he saw the majestic and towering pyramid.

The great pyramids in front of us are made of about 230 million limestone and granite stacks without any bonding material in between.The stones fit together seamlessly. Even after more than 4000 years of wind and rain, so far, even a sharp knife cannot be inserted between the stones.Each square stone has an average of 2.5 tons, and the heaviest reaches more than 100 tons.I really don't know how the working people transported such a heavy thing to the pyramid.

Rafael watched Solo standing dumbfounded under the scorching sun, and suggested, "Go in and take a walk."

Solo happily replied: "Yes."

Rafael naturally took his hand and walked in front.Solo was temporarily attracted all his attention by those stone bumps, and didn't care about Rafael's actions.

At this time, a gust of wind blew over, and some tourists could be heard shouting from a distance: "My God——"

The strong wind whipped up a burst of yellow dust, overwhelming the sky.

Just as Shan Fei turned his head to take a look, he was covered by a white turban.

It turns out that the headscarves of the Middle Easterners are not for decoration, but for resisting yellow sand.When the yellow sand crosses the border, it can block your nose and eyes, and leave a lot of sand on your hair.

Rafael wrapped him in his arms, then pulled the hood over his nose and mouth to prevent him from eating sand into his mouth.

Solo sticks to his chest, meeting his eyes at close range.He saw a tenderness he had never felt before in those charming chestnut eyes.

Rafael hugged him tightly, his back to the strong wind, blocking the sand and dust behind him.

After the dust passed, Shan Fei gently pushed him away: "Thank you."

Rafael: "It seems that you should also learn from me and try to get a headscarf."

Solo: "It's too hot and I'm sweating, I can't bear it."

Rafael didn't force it, he took his hand and continued to walk forward, but this time the solo flight reacted.

"Why are you pulling me?" Shan Fei inadvertently blushed.

"I'm afraid you'll get lost." Raphael replied seriously.

"I'll get lost?" Shan Fei looked at him in disbelief.

"Why not, if you are not careful, you will run away without a trace, I have to tie you up tighter." Rafael said something.

"I'm not a horse, why are you tying me up." Solo began to play dumb.

"If only you were a horse, I can ride you every day." Raphael smiled slyly.

"..." Solo's mouth twitched.He couldn't bear to shake off his hand, and strode inside.

Rafael followed behind him with a happy face.

The rustling sound of walking on the sand is very strange, solo rarely has time to play, he is involuntarily delivering goods all day long.He is very happy to have a half day off.He wandered around like a curious baby, running here to touch the stone that was as tall as a person, and then climbing up the Sphinx over there to take a photo with it. It was really fun Almost.

Raphael saw him running around profusely in sweat, and hurriedly sent the assistant to buy water, he was afraid that Solo would be dehydrated.

After a while, the assistant brought a few bottles of water, and Rafael waved at Solo: "Come here!"

Shan Fei playfully jumped off the stone pimple, sweat flowed from his temples to his neck, glistening in the sun.Solo at this time is just an ordinary teenager.He was purely happy, simply enjoying this afternoon where he didn't need to worry about anything.

Rafael's eyes are full of love, he likes such a pure solo flight, because he can always bring him unexpected happiness.

Rafael handed him the water: "Come here and drink some water, this is a desert, don't jump up and down like this, it's easy to get dehydrated, you know?"

Shan Fei wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and sure enough, his whole body was soaked, and puddles appeared on the shirt behind him.

Raphael pulled his turban to help him wipe his sweat: "Look at you, when you go out, you look like a wild animal released from its cage."

Shan Fei raised his head and poured most of a bottle of water down. He gasped and said, "I've never been out before."

Rafael: "Then where were you before?"

Solo: "In the barracks."

Rafael only remembered at this time, he seemed to know nothing about his past: "You grew up in the military camp?"

Flying solo: "Well, I entered the military camp when I was ten years old."

Rafael looked at him in surprise: "So young? How could your mother let you enter the barracks at such a young age?"

Shan Fei lowered his head and glanced at the ground: "My mother died when I was eight years old."

Rafael was surprised: "I'm sorry."

Solo: "It's okay, I don't even remember what she looks like."

Rafael: "Then why are you delivering goods everywhere now, why don't you stay in the barracks?"

Shan Fei said honestly: "I'm an intern. My father saw that I had done well in the military camp, so he asked me to come out early to deliver goods and familiarize myself with the business so that I can take over later. After all, we can't learn this kind of business in school. Can gain experience in practice.”

Rafael reached out and touched his head: "It seems that your life is not easy."

Solo nodded: "Well, the company has too many businesses, and the types of business are very complicated. I really struggled to learn."

Rafael looked at him sympathetically: "Take it easy, you are still young. For example, I used to feel very annoyed when I thought about the disputes in the royal family, and it was also very annoying to attend those international conferences. But now Once you get used to it, you will gradually get used to it, so time can change a person's life."

Solo Fei thought with emotion, Rafael is also a second generation, and they are also under great pressure.They have been living in the spotlight, and many people are watching them.And if they do well, others will say that they rely on their father's brilliance to take care of them. If they do not do well, they will be said to be the common fault of the second generation of noble sons - prodigal.Anyway, no matter what you do, it will be difficult to calm down the crowd.

Solo sighed: "Actually, I can only stay in Egypt for two days this time. After the sales presentation tomorrow, I will go to Libya."

When Rafael heard "Libya", his face immediately darkened: "Why are you going there? According to intelligence, there has been a lot of internal turmoil recently, and there was a large-scale urban war just a while ago."

Solo flight: "I know, it was the last battle that bombed the two 'air intelligence radars' of 'Tripoli', so they urgently ordered two from us, and I will send them to him from Egypt the day after tomorrow. past."

Rafael's heart tightened: "Are you crazy? Are you asking for money? There is a war going on there now, do you know how dangerous it is?"

Solo: "Of course I know, no one in the whole company is willing to go, so I just came to Egypt, so I took the job. The company belongs to our family, who do you think I won't go to?"

Rafael looked at him speechlessly, why can't this guy just rest for a day? "Anyway, no matter what, I won't let you go."

Facing such an unreasonable Rafael, Solo couldn't communicate with him: "This is my business, you have nothing to do with it."

Seeing that he didn't listen to his own words, Rafael became a little angry: "Why are you so disobedient? I've already told you that you can't go there recently, it's dangerous! Why don't you always listen to my advice? "

Solo: "I know, but there are many war reporters there, and the peacekeeping troops are also there? People go to any dangerous place, don't they?"

Rafael was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Seeing that his face turned black with anger, Shan Fei thought that it would be better not to fight against him anymore, after all, he came all the way this time for himself.So he took a breath and explained to him: "We are arms dealers. As long as there is a war in this world, we have to go, even if there are mountains of swords and flames ahead - because this is our job. Unless one day the world If there is no dispute, then I can have a vacation."

Rafael retorted: "How can there be no disputes in this world, as long as there are people, there will be disputes."

Solo thought for a while and said: "If one day, everyone no longer distinguishes between you and me, race, or creed, then I believe the world can be without disputes."

Rafael snorted: "That's impossible."

Solo flight: "Why is it impossible? Rafael, as an important figure in the Arab world, why can't you think about why the whole Middle East is in such a mess?"

Rafael looked at him seriously: "I know better than you why the Middle East is in such a mess, but I can't change anything."

Flying solo: "No, you can, you are the future king, don't you want to do something for this world?"

Rafael looked at him with interest: "Let's hear it."

Solo flight: "In the Middle East, there are many countries that wage wars because of different religions and ideologies. Their wars happened on the word 'different'. Islam is divided into two factions, Sunni and Shia, and There has never been a struggle between the two factions. There are Jews living in Israel, and Iran cannot tolerate other religions stationed in Lebanon. The whole Middle East looks at each other with 'different' eyes, and no one can tolerate the other, so Only then did they form deep hatreds. And these hatreds are giving the Americans an opportunity to turn the Arab world into a mess."

"'Different' kills so many people, why do they only see the differences between them, religious beliefs, ideologies? But why don't they see the similarities between them? They are the same Human beings, they have two eyes and one nose, the same blood flowing from their bodies, they also live on this earth, they are the same desert country, and there are many similarities between them, why can’t they see it?”

Rafael stared blankly at the fledgling kid in front of him, and was speechless for a moment.

They have been working hard to stabilize the Middle East, but they are only tearing down the wall to make up for the wall in the mud, and have never fundamentally solved these knots that cannot be untied.

But a childish remark by Solo revealed the root of the problem.

different!

Fighting for being different is the essence of the matter.The complex Middle East issue is like a mess and it is difficult to distinguish who is right and who is wrong.But in the final analysis, these two words are still "different".

Rafael closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "You are right, 'different' killed them."

Solo: "If one day people in the world can understand that we are all the same and there is no difference between us, then there will be no more disputes in this world."

Rafael smiled lightly, he stared at Solo, the boy in front of him was so different.At such a young age, he has a thinking mode that ordinary people don't have, so he can see the essence of the problem so directly.Rafael looked at him quietly, his eyes were full of appreciation.This kind of appreciation is not the appreciation of a lover, it is the purest appreciation of a man for another man.

"Solo, do you know why I chose to become the general who protects the country?" Raphael said thoughtfully.

"why?"

"Once, my father asked me to choose a position in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Ministry of Commerce. I was only 16 years old at that time. I went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for one day and then went to the Ministry of Commerce for another day. I found a problem, that is— —Neither the Ministry of Foreign Affairs nor the Ministry of Commerce can guarantee the security of the country.”

Flying solo: "So you chose defense?"

Rafael: "If there is no good national defense, who will guarantee the safety of the Ministry of Commerce? Who else can guarantee the bargaining chip for us? Waterways are the lifeblood of oil countries. Without waterways, there will be no economy. Without economy, there will be no international stage, and there will be no international stage. There is no diplomatic leverage. So, I choose to be a soldier, and I want to defend my country. The Middle East is too messy, and there is too much gold in our underground, so too many people have been coveting our country, they I hope we mess up so that we can take the opportunity to invade our country and control the oil. I will not allow this! I must guard my land every day so that I can feel at ease."

At this moment, there is a little bit of starlight in Solo's eyes, which is also a kind of appreciation!

He always thought that Raphael was arrogant and arrogant, but he never realized that Rafael was actually a very powerful guardian. No nuisance, he patrolled his territory day after day, using his powerful means to protect the people's living and working in peace.

It turned out that Rafael was also a person with dreams.

Solo didn't know him before, he always thought that this person was so arrogant that people dare not look directly at him.However, now he discovered that there was a reason why he was so strong and domineering, and his image sent a powerful signal to the entire Middle East.He is inviolable, his country is inviolable.He is so powerful in the Arab world.

A refreshing smile appeared on Solo's face: "It seems that Prince Rafael is really not easy to mess with."

Rafael had a natural expression: "It's good that you know."

The author has something to say: They gradually understand each other, discover each other's strengths, and reduce the barrier between them.
