Early the next morning, Su Rui had a simple breakfast and arrived at the train station.
He bought a ticket casually, and the whole journey was about 100 kilometers.
No other meaning, Su Rui just wanted to get a feel for what the Purang Railway looks like today.
However, since entering the ticket hall, Su Rui’s impression is very bad. The house seems to have not been renovated since it was completed decades ago. The walls are mottled and there are a lot of dust on the floor tiles. The minimum cleaning is impossible.
It's not that there are no cleaners here, but Su Rui clearly watched the two men and two women sing and dance while sweeping the floor, their bodies constantly twisting, not knowing what they were doing.
If this goes on, even if it's a day, don't even think about sweeping the waiting hall clean.
The chairs in the waiting hall are all broken and can’t be seated, and occasionally a few passengers are also standing. Nowadays, the economic situation of Prenia is already bad and the passenger flow is very small. Besides, even riding Motorcycle travel is also much faster than this railway.
The speed of the Huaxia High-speed Railway can reach 350 kilometers per hour, but how fast can the old train on the Burang Railway reach?
Can you reach fifty kilometers?
Even before Su Rui came here, he had heard that some local residents even took down the railroad tracks and used them as fences in the family yard!
Since the Plenia government has no money, and operating the railway also requires a huge cost, now they send one or two trains a day, which has reached an unbearable limit.
Even the railway department has been in arrears with employees for several months.
Even the staff in charge of ticket checking was weak. He didn't even check Su Rui's ticket. He just waved his hand and signaled to let him go.
Also, there are not many passengers in total, and the significance of ticket checking is not so great.
Su Rui stood on the platform, observing everything around him.
At that time, the Huaxia people used extremely solid materials, and did not cut corners at all. It looked really strong, but the railway has now been artificially run down like this, which makes people quite helpless, even sad. .
Su Rui suddenly squinted his eyes, and an unspeakable emotion rose from the bottom of his heart, because he suddenly saw every sleeper and pillow stone engraved-China People's Republic!
This is China’s brand here!
Ten years, a full ten years, sacrificed the lives of more than 60 workers and exported a huge amount of money to build this more than 1,800-kilometer railway. If you let the workers Seeing that the railway they put in so much effort has become like this, and is about to be completely eroded by the power of time, I am afraid that the mood will be extremely bad.
Once hailed as the "Freedom Road" in Africa, it is now rusty, and there is even no hope.
Passenger capacity is extremely low, and cargo capacity is almost negligible. If you want to revitalize, how easy is it?
However, after talking with Zhang Yuqian that time, Su Rui still understood that this former road to freedom still has extremely important significance for China's foreign policy today.
This Purang Railway is not a product of the passion of that era. If the entire African land is likened to a chess board, then this railway is like a dragon arranged by China on the chess board!
As long as this big dragon can be brought to life, then the whole chess game will be alive!
The Batomeu Port built by Huaxia is undoubtedly the finishing touch to activate the dragon!
On the train, Su Rui looked at the dilapidated carriage and shook his head: "If this continues, the governments of Plenia and Lansnia will not be able to bear the annual losses."
There are still many places in these two countries that are caught in war. Railway companies are increasingly struggling to make ends meet. However, corrupt African bureaucrats sometimes resell the wagons and embezzle state-owned assets in a disguised form, leading to freight transport through the Burang Railway. Prices are getting higher and higher, and there are fewer and fewer merchants available.
This is caused by short-sightedness.
In Su Rui's view, this shortsightedness is simply unforgivable.
This is a huge waste of China's hard work that year!
This is an extremely uncherishment of China Friendship!
Su Rui has also traveled to many countries in Africa. To tell the truth, this situation is widespread. The poorer some countries, the more serious the corruption situation. It has even reached a shocking point. If not personally, Su Rui even Unexpectedly, there would still be such a government and such officials in this world.
Sitting on this old-fashioned train that China has eliminated for many years, Su Rui didn't know what words to use to express his current mood.
He can understand the feelings of his father's generation-they are not reconciled, they do not understand, they have put so much effort and effort, how can they be destroyed by the local government in just a few decades Up?
Even now, when the railway needs to be maintained, both Plenia and Lansnia cannot even find a few technical personnel!
In the past, Huaxia did not train local technicians, and even arranged engineers to be stationed in the two countries on a regular basis, but it did not seem to be of much use, and all efforts were made in vain.
Therefore, Su Rui understood the burden on his shoulders better.
In Su Rui's view, the only good news is that the relations between the Plenia and Lansnia governments and China are very good at this time.
Not to mention whether there are utilitarian factors in this good relationship, but this is a good signal after all.
However, the governments of these two countries are indeed not too strong-the voice of the rebels in the two countries is really high now.
The poorer the place, the more it can incite hatred of the rich.
The anti-government militants even used "against China" as their instigation tool, and even... it seems to have achieved quite good results.
Thinking of this, Su Rui felt very heartbroken—have the lives of the sixty-odd workers in China sacrificed for nothing? Is the ten-year youth of tens of thousands of people here wasted?
Absolutely not!
Seeing the barrenness and barrenness outside the car window, Su Rui shook his head.
The speed of the train was really too slow, and Su Rui felt that the rumors were not exaggerated-if you feel hungry, then jump off the train and buy some food. Looking back, the train hasn't traveled far enough to catch up.
Su Rui felt helpless the more she watched.
As he drank a whole bottle of water in the morning, he suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom.
However, when he came to the car junction and opened the bathroom door, he frowned severely, shook his head, and walked away.
He would rather hold back for a while than solve the problem in this environment.
At this moment, Su Rui wanted to ask--Are these so-called railway workers all eating shit? Do you do nothing except singing and dancing every day?
In this case, Su Rui did not have any good solutions.
The more I look, the less confident.
However, looking at the vast grassland and a train passing through the grassland, Su Rui suddenly felt desolate.
The construction of this railway was extremely difficult at that time. It had to cross mountains, valleys, and rivers. In that era when the technology was not developed and the machinery industry could not keep up, China’s engineers and workers just relied on the human sea tactics. It took ten years to build this freedom road in Africa!
This can be called an arduous task, and they can't help but admire it when they have completed it like this!
"Our hard work cannot be wasted." Su Rui said softly in his heart.
Afterwards, his eyes became more determined.
The vast grassland outside the window had become a battlefield in Su Rui's eyes.
"Can you connect the dark world with this African world?" Su Rui narrowed his eyes and fell into contemplation.
…………
This day, he didn't do anything else, just wandering on the railway.
In the evening, Su Rui received a message from Qu Ranran, saying that he wanted to invite him to dinner.
Su Rui shook his head and smiled, and found a reason to tactfully refuse.
He could feel Qu Ranran's thoughts, but he did not want to make further progress with this little girl.
After all, although Su Rui received a small amount, he still knew exactly what he needed.
However, after Su Rui returned to the hotel, he found that several policemen were blocking the door of Qu Ranran and others' room.
Seeing this scene, Su Rui frowned fiercely.
What, did the thief shout to catch the thief?
Indeed, his first reaction was like this. For the public officials in the country of Plenia, Su Rui really didn't have much confidence. It was only evident from the action of the other party blatantly reaching out for money when entering the customs. .
Facts have proved that Su Rui's guess is very accurate.
"We suspect that you are related to a crime of intentional injury. Now we must go back and investigate with us," a policeman said.
Seeing his serious look, Su Rui felt a disgust for no reason.
What an international joke, they were robbed by the Speeding Party, but they were just fighting back normally, and they were about to be taken back for investigation?
So where were these police officers when they were robbed?
Captain Zhu stood in front of the flight attendants and explained in English what happened last night.
However, no matter what he said, the police turned over and over again in one sentence: "You have no evidence."
There is indeed no evidence.
This is not like Huaxia. Huaxia has a lot of surveillance probes. Most criminals have nowhere to hide. However, in Domanaki, the capital of Plenia, there are very few traffic lights at the intersection. Not to mention the surveillance cameras!
After hearing the police's words, Captain Zhu felt depressed and couldn't help but replied politely: "Then you have no evidence that we did this thing."
"You just admitted during the explanation process," the policeman said.
This sentence almost didn't suffocate Captain Zhu to death.
"Besides, someone accused you of deliberately hurting people." The policeman grinned and said with a smile, "They are lying in the hospital now, one of them is in danger. You... are in trouble."
