2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

The car quickly drove out of Hanoi, the capital of South Vietnam, and as Chang An said, the road conditions outside the city were really worrying. After driving less than 20 kilometers, we already encountered two or three serious road cracks. The car had to carefully slow down and drive past it to avoid being too bumpy.

While passing through a section of road with cracks on the surface, Changan drove carefully and complained: "In a small country like South Vietnam, except for the relatively large trading companies, ordinary people basically do not leave the city unless necessary. Even if there are long distances between cities, Special personnel will be cleaning the area around the main roads regularly, but there are still strange sightings or injuries every once in a while. Even if safety factors are put aside, the road conditions are really bad, and driving in the wild is simply torture."

Chang Ping, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also smiled and added: "A road like this is actually pretty good. There are even muddy areas in some areas in the wild. If it rains, the car won't be able to move very far for hours. Those Large companies that trade between cities will spend a lot of money to modify the tires, suspension and chassis of the trucks to make them drive better. As for the vans rented from car rental companies, they can only make do."

Hearing this, Wei Min couldn't help but be curious: "Two seniors, the conditions here seem to be very average. Did you all come here voluntarily?"

The Foreign Affairs Bureau is a special department dispatched by China to neighboring small countries and parts of Africa for humanitarian purposes. Its main function is to help the local government eliminate alien species, deal with criminals with special abilities, and maintain the public security environment to the maximum extent.

After the Abyss Era, all countries around the world have fallen into a trough in various senses, and those small countries with poor economic and public security environments are on the verge of collapse one by one. Local government power fell either into the hands of the military or into the hands of powerful superpowers.

In this situation where many local emperors are everywhere, many areas have basically returned to the feudal era, and the so-called democracy and human rights have become empty talk. Vulnerable groups without abilities have basically become meat and potatoes on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others.

Is there no one who wants to resist this darkness?

Of course there is.

It's a pity that people who are ambitious and don't want to join the crowd often lack the ability, while people who are both ambitious and capable often have better choices.

When you face a decadent environment, one step forward is the darkness of an uncertain future, and one step back is the respect and preferential treatment from other relatively stable big countries, tens of millions of salaries, luxury cars and villas...and you are You have a family and children, which one would you choose?

In this case, the people at the bottom who have no money and no power have basically no possibility of turning over. They can only place their hope on the illusory fantasy that "a powerful person with super powers can appear in their own family."

And when this one-of-a-kind accident becomes a reality, the powerful new superpower and his family will either choose to go abroad, or they will be invited by vested interest groups to become new Daozu and continue together. Carefully chop up the fish and meat that were in the same situation as you once were.

The brothers sang and drank and raised flags wildly, which made the atmosphere cheerful again.

At this time, Changan suddenly laughed, breaking the silent atmosphere in the car. He patted the steering wheel and said with a smile: "So, what we came to the Foreign Special Branch Bureau is basically to gain qualifications, serve as a springboard, and work for 3 years." After five years, I will go back to China and have a happy birthday."

Wei Min knew that what he said was wrong, and it would most likely remind them of the life and death of their former comrades.

Only then did everyone realize that although Changping, as the elder brother, was more mature and steady than his younger brother, the two were twins after all, and their personalities were somewhat similar.

Chang Ping, the co-pilot, turned back and smiled: "When you are stationed in a foreign special bureau, basically 50% of your daily expenses can be reimbursed, and the salary is generally 1.5 to 2 times that of a special bureau commissioner in an ordinary city in China. Work here for 3 to 5 years , and you will receive many preferential policies when you want to go back to work. Except for a few special departments, the Foreign Service Bureau is basically an ideal career."

"Okay, after this is done, we will go back and open a brothers' barbecue, and you will be responsible for the barbecue." Changan simply broke the pot and threw it.

In fact, it is nothing new. As early as 1948, United Nations peacekeeping forces were responsible for stopping conflicts and restoring peace in some areas. The Foreign Special Branch Bureau can actually be regarded as a "peacekeeping force" established by China in its own name in other countries.

It wasn't until China proposed a plan that allowed legitimate governments of small countries in need to submit applications, and then they would send specialized personnel to set up special foreign affairs bureaus locally to help maintain stability, that some areas finally restored some of the peace of the old era.

"South Vietnam is okay, it shouldn't be that high." Chang Ping said calmly.

Chang'an and Changping looked back at him at the same time, with strange expressions.

Should we say that this guy deserves to be called a "blasphemer"? In some aspects, his attitude towards gods is always unexpectedly tough...

"But it's definitely higher than in China." Chang'an added.

"Did he start a family locally?" Yan Muyun asked curiously.

"You asked us if we came here voluntarily?" Chang'an, who was driving, seemed not to hear clearly and repeated the question.

...

"Of course, apart from being inconvenient in life and a bit dangerous," Chang'an added.

"There are also real men like our captain. He came to South Vietnam right after graduation when he was 21 years old. Now he is 33 and still working here. The superiors tried to transfer him to other places with better conditions several times, but he refused. . He was asked to be the branch director last year, but he still didn't agree, saying that he had to stay on the front line to feel at ease..." Chang'an's tone was a little emotional, and he could hear his true admiration for his captain.

"A real man." Wei Min gave a thumbs up.

"Can this store be called this name without me? My role is irreplaceable, right?"

"Of course it's voluntary."

Of course, diplomacy between countries has never been about playing house.

"Let alone starting a family, the captain is not a womanizer at all."

Neither of them spoke after that, and the atmosphere in the car became a little subtle for a while.

Chang Ping smiled bitterly and said: "Many local girls with good family conditions, and even the daughters of several big business owners in Hanoi, are attracted to him, but he doesn't even bother to talk to them."

Wei Min pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "If I remember correctly, the number of casualties among dispatched special bureau commissioners compared with the on-duty casualty rate of domestic special bureau commissioners is about 3:1. In some countries, even Can it reach 5:1?”

Apart from that, he couldn't think of any other reason that would make a man stay in a foreign country with all his heart.

Naturally, China does not help other countries unconditionally. It will receive some industrial, raw material, and economic and trade benefits to some extent. But they are all within a reasonable range, focusing on win-win cooperation.

"Starting a family?" Chang'an's tone suddenly became a little strange.

"What are you responsible for?"

The age of the abyss is literally an era in which countless people at the bottom of the world are in an abyss from which there is no retreat.

"Why don't you just say that you will go home and get married after completing this mission." Chang Ping said expressionlessly.

"A metaphor is just a metaphor." Wei Min had a headache.

Chang'an smacked his tongue and sighed: "The locals say that he is a messenger sent by the gods to Laizhou, specifically responsible for protecting the people of Laizhou."

Yan Muyun snorted: "Isn't this someone sent by us from China? What does it have to do with the gods?"

"I've got to tell you the joke. Actually, the Foreign Special Branch Bureaus are not all salty fish like us." Chang Ping turned around and said with a smile.
