Chapter 3541: A New Addition (157)
However, Chu He was confident because she was already familiar with the terrain of North Africa. Even if the whole area was blown to ashes, she could roughly navigate it by heart.
Back when she was in the peacekeeping force, she had gone deep into the battlefield and was responsible for patrolling the neutral and peace areas. By then, the crossfire of war had already begun.
In the blink of an eye, many years had pa.s.sed, but the war showed no signs of stopping. Even though the ceasefire agreement had been signed three years ago, it had only been a year since the ceasefire, and the local wars had revived.
Today, it had become an international battle.
She could not help but suspect that the Hurricane Group was fanning the flames.
…
The Hurricane Group had the ability to control the situation.
Even though the ceasefire was due to the intervention of the forces of the western world, the anti-government army had never given up on the idea of starting the war. However, the various countries kept the army under control and took drastic measures to prevent the war from expanding.
The Hurricane Group started the war again by secretly selling weapons at low prices.
Because of the weapons blockade by the various countries, and given that anti-war and weapon restriction agreements had been signed, sale of firearms to North Africa was tightly restricted.
The Hurricane Group sold weapons of ma.s.s destruction to the government army, and at the same time, sold a portion of the weapons to the anti-government army at a low price. Hence, the two sides started fighting again.
The Hurricane Group, specifically, Gong Shaoying and Gong Jie, had always been on the top of Interpol’s blacklist.
However, given the group’s influence and strong position, even Interpol was unable to interfere.
The Hurricane Group was too strong. It had always been seen as a thorn in the flesh by the various countries. However, no one could bring it down.
…
The freighter sailed across the sea.
Chu He stayed in the cabin. Outside the window, there were black men patrolling. They were all soldiers from the government army, responsible for transporting the weapons.
In some parts of North Africa, the official language is English because it used to be a colony.
Chu He spoke excellent English, but this was a special period, so it was best not to walk around the cabin to avoid any trouble.
The journey at sea was especially slow. Every day was a torture. After a short period of adaptation, Chu He overcame many obstacles. When she first came on board, she was not used to it. In addition, there was much left to be desired in terms of the food she got on the freighter. It was either potatoes or bread, and it was extremely disgusting. However, no matter how awful it was, she had to swallow it.
Five days later, the s.h.i.+p finally arrived safely at the port.
The port was located in a peace area. As soon as they landed, she heard information that some of the neutral areas had already fallen. There were countless deaths and injuries. Many areas had already been occupied by many anti-government forces. Hence, most of the government forces had already retreated from the neutral areas. As for the other areas, they were in dire straits. Most of them should have already been captured.
War is especially cruel.
Precious life is worth no more than a bullet after a war.
In war, human nature goes to the ruins. Soldiers, civilians, and even innocent children, without exception, may not survive. She had watched helplessly as a child was crushed by a tank. She had watched with her own eyes as a soldier held an AK gun and shot at helpless civilians. She had seen streets and wastelands that were littered with all kinds of corpses, as though they were not worth a cent…
Therefore, she hated war!
She hated it to the core!
It was this dangerous environment that made her increasingly worried whether Gu Jinglian was in danger…
