Chapter 183 Friendship Lasts Forever

Xinghui looked at the adjutant who came forward to report, and said, "Tell me the specific situation in detail."

The adjutant stood at attention, and then said: "Just three hours ago, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 on the Richter scale occurred in the northwest border province of Bayang. We were instructed by the higher authorities to organize a team to go to the disaster area for international humanitarian relief while ensuring the safety of our personnel. Give assistance to friendly countries where possible.”

Jiang Fan understands that for allies, especially this kind of natural disaster, it is natural to do everything possible to rescue people and materials.

But after all, there will be some differences from our own disasters. If we encounter a disaster, the rescue soldiers can risk their lives to make a blind landing. Even if they pay some price, as long as they can save the lives and properties of the people, they will not hesitate. .

If you are friendly, you will naturally do your best to rescue, and the supplies will be delivered as soon as possible, but you will not risk the lives of rescued soldiers.

Therefore, at the right time, assist in the rescue when the aftershocks are relatively stable. While protecting our rescuers, we can also give the greatest help to our allies.

Xing Hui nodded: "Understood, organize a rescue team to set off as soon as possible."

The adjutant saluted and replied that he was ready to leave after knowing it.

"Wait a minute." Xinghui suddenly stopped the adjutant, and added: "Let the rescue soldiers carry the exoskeleton armor for rescue."

The adjutant was obviously stunned, including the glasses officer and Jiang Fan.

But they soon understood that in addition to military use, exoskeletons also have a very important use for disaster relief.

Just taking advantage of this actual combat to test the role of exoskeleton mechs in disaster relief, collect relevant data for improvement, and also conduct drills for our own rescue when we encounter disasters in the future.

Four hours ago, in Bayang Northwest Frontier Province, [-] kilometers away, Zaqa Ahmed was teaching children.

He is a teacher in this middle school. Although some buildings have been built in this county over the years, it is still relatively poor overall.

Like the whole country, there are very few people who have access to education, there are no good teachers, and children rarely have the opportunity to go to school.

But education is the foundation of everything, and children are the future of the country. If this part cannot be promoted, then their entire nation will never have hope.

Therefore, after he was fortunate enough to study abroad, he did not choose to stay abroad to enjoy better treatment and a more comfortable life. Instead, he returned to his poor and weak motherland, hoping to use his meager strength to pay for this suffering. country offers some hope.

Here, he has been teaching for 20 years.

In his previous study abroad career, he has seen beautiful scenery in many countries in the world, but among them, his favorite is only Huaxia next door.

Not only because of China's 5000-year long history and civilization, nor because of its food, its Great Wall of Terracotta Army, nor all because of its very modern city.

More importantly, it was because of Huaxia's help to his country, which his father kept telling him about the past since he was a child.

Zaqa Ahmed's father is Ali Ahmed, who was born 60 years ago when he was fighting with his neighbor Asan. Later, the fighting between the two sides stopped temporarily, and Bayang was also devastated and left to be destroyed.

At that time, developing the economy became the top priority of Bayang, but they had no funds, no technology, and surrounded by mountains with no roads, so there was no basis for economic development.

At that time, Bayang thought of Huaxia and sent representatives to contact Huaxia officials.

Because of its own experience, Huaxia has shown great kindness and friendship to this neighbor who has also experienced difficulties and sufferings. After negotiation between the two parties, Huaxia workers helped build the Karakoram Highway.

The total length of the Karakoram Highway is 1032 kilometers, of which 416 kilometers are located in Huaxia and 616 kilometers are located in Bayang.

But the difficulty of the 1000-kilometer road is not only the length, but also the need to cross several high mountains, with an altitude difference of more than 3500 meters. The lowest altitude is 1154 meters, and the highest altitude can exceed 4733 meters.

Therefore, what is placed in front of the Huaxia construction team is a hard bone, in order to open up the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and help Pakistan develop its economy.

The workers of the Huaxia construction team are not afraid of hardships, and they are not afraid of tiredness. They have carried forward the spirit of Chinese workers who have no shortage of fighting spirit and spirit in the lack of oxygen in the plateau. During the construction of the Karakoram Highway, they have never give up due to any difficulty.

After 12 years of unremitting efforts, the Karakoram Highway was opened, but countless Chinese engineers and workers died in foreign countries.

Among these sacrificed martyrs, most of the remains of the martyrs were transported back to the country, however, 88 martyrs remained on the land of Pakistan forever for various reasons.

In order to commemorate the contributions made by Chinese workers to the development of Pakistan, in 1987, the Pakistani government officially began to build the Chinese Martyrs Cemetery in Gilt City to commemorate the Chinese martyrs who died during the construction of the Karakoram Highway. Holding the bones of the 88 Chinese martyrs.

And Xhaka's father, Ali Ahmed, lived nearby and witnessed all this with his own eyes.

Especially the year before the completion of the Karakoram Highway, the Karakoram Highway project near Gilt City collapsed, and 25 Huaxia workers were unfortunately killed.Ali, who was only 22 years old at the time, was at the scene of the rescue.

Although he and the rescue team tried their best and failed to rescue these workers, their tenacious and unyielding spirit shocked him greatly.

So, just after that, when the martyrs cemetery was built, he made the most important decision in his life, submitting an application to the government to voluntarily guard the graves of these martyrs who died.

The government agreed, and he has lived here since then, scrubbing the tombstones of the 88 Chinese martyrs buried in foreign lands every day to keep them clean.

This has been done for 43 years.

During these 43 years, Ali Ahmed lived on the meager subsidy from the government, had no wages, and could only eat one meal a day when he was hungry.

Even so, it did not shake his belief in guarding the tombs of the Chinese martyrs.

During the process, the relatives of these 88 martyrs also came to visit the tombstones. When they witnessed Ali’s careful care of these tombstones, they suddenly felt that it was not a big deal for their sons, husbands, and fathers to be buried in foreign countries. lonely.

Ali's spirit has also been passed on to his son Zhaka Ahmed. While Zhaka contributes to the education and strength of his country, he is also very grateful for China's long-term help to his motherland.

Therefore, when he teaches his own students, in addition to his mother tongue, he will also teach every student he has taught how to write the word "China".

Those Chinese people will always appear in the most difficult times and extend a helping hand, just like angels.

Today, he is still in class, which is a language class. In addition to teaching Urdu, his native language, at the end of the class, he wrote down 6 Chinese characters of "China-Pakistan friendship lasts forever" on the blackboard and taught the students to read it aloud.

Watching the students recite these words aloud, he believes that this group of grateful children will definitely be willing to stay in the motherland in the future and make their own efforts for the development and construction of the motherland and the profound friendship between China and Pakistan and contribute.

He must educate and protect these flowers of the motherland.

But at this moment, the ground suddenly trembled violently.
