Chapter 1830: Son of Lone Star State

South Sudan became the youngest country in the world in 2011, but the local people have been suffering from wars in recent years. Racial antagonism is still very serious in some areas, where anything can happen.
After the conflict between the South Sudanese government and the armed forces, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan established several camps to protect civilians. Currently, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan has six camps throughout South Sudan, protecting 198,440 civilians.
However, there are constant armed conflicts and people are often killed. The conflicts have also led to attacks on local residents, robberies and other atrocities. Although the United Nations has 14,000 soldiers and police stationed in South Sudan. But the situation remains often out of control. Even the UN peacekeeping forces sometimes do not withdraw from highly dangerous areas.
For this reason, South Sudan’s peacekeeping forces have been criticized overall for adopting a stance of avoiding danger and failing to protect civilians from killings and other incidental attacks. Not to mention the protection of civilians, they even failed to protect the facilities of the World Food Program, resulting in the looting of 29 million US dollars in food, equipment and other materials. All this shows that South Sudan has become a highly dangerous area in Africa.
Lin Rui and others crossed the northern border of Uganda and entered South Sudan. Outside the capital of Juba, next to the UN camp, there are two camps for refugees, which are called civilian protection areas. But more often, people call it a refugee camp.
In the refugee camp, simple tents built with white tarpaulins are only about two meters high. Some are equipped with iron doors, and some are only hung with a curtain. The tents and tents are crowded together, which makes people feel a little depressed.
Not many people got up yet, and a few people stood in front of their house, holding a white wooden stick in their hands, constantly stirring in their mouths. Crazy Horse told Lin Rui that they were brushing their teeth. The wooden sticks used by the locals were taken from a special local tree, and the ends could be used as toothbrushes by biting the ends.
"No wonder blacks have such beautiful teeth." Sergey shrugged.
Not far away, a middle-aged woman was sweeping the floor. First, she swept the dirty things out of the house, and then carefully swept the tent door again, and the environment became tidy. A young man cleaned the house barefoot. In the end, he took the slippers aside and gently shook the soil from the cloth outside the door.
No matter where they are, people always seek a better and more decent life, even in refugee camps.
The sun climbed up the treetops and more people walked out of the tent. Many children saw Lin Rui and Jiang An, probably because of their skin color and hair, they shouted "china", and some even said "hello". Several teenage boys said that they like Chinese Kungfu. It is said that these were taught by the officers and soldiers of the first two groups of Chinese peacekeeping infantry battalions.
Near the east gate of the refugee camp, a group of children are fighting around a white ball. They can’t afford a football. The ball is only slightly larger than an adult’s fist and is wrapped in plastic.
In fact, their situation is not suitable for playing football-food is regularly rationed by the United Nations to meet basic survival needs, but running undoubtedly means starving.
"Refugee camps all over the world are a taste. There may be no sadness and despair here, but it is full of depression." Crazy Horse shrugged.
"Hey, you guys! Don't move!" A group of peacekeepers in blue helmets raised their guns to stop Lin Rui and others from advancing.
"Damn blue helmets, they always do." Crazy Horse raised his hand helplessly.
"This is the United Nations peacekeeping police. We are responsible for entering the No. 2 Civilian Reserve to check out dangerous personnel and weapons to ensure the safety of the refugees. Do not touch your weapons with your hands and report your identity." An ensign of the peacekeeping force shouted.
"If we don't pass the outside inspection, how can we come in?" Lin Rui shook his head, "We are from a private military company."
A peacekeeper looked at their documents and whispered, "Oh, they are a bunch of mercenaries."
"Hey, kid! Keep your mouth clean. If you don't let me, I'll teach you how to respect it. What mercenary? We are from the Black Island Military Security Company. Don't say you are a small ensign, even a big one. We have seen a lot of big shots," Snake Eye yelled.
His mouthful of Texas hillbilly accent helped the ensign to dispel a lot of doubts, "Is it an American?"
"Come on, I am the son of the Lone Star Republic, so I don't wait to see the United States." Snake eyes stared at him. "This is in South Sudan. Do you still want to confiscate our guns. What's the difference between killing us? Dude, do you dare to go out and try without your weapons?"
In history, Texas used to be an independent republic, known as the Lone Star Republic in history. Although there is only 9 years of history in the Republic, many Texans still regard themselves as Texans first rather than Americans.
It is said that the United States was also nervous when the Scottish referendum decided whether to stay in the Commonwealth. Because if Texas also holds a referendum, once more than half of it is voted in, it has the right to become a republic independently. Just because this state joined the U.S. Federation as an independent republic. So many rebellious Texas cowboys are Lao Texans when they speak. The United States is a fart!
That second lieutenant should also be an American. He could only shrug his shoulders with a wry smile after seeing a sturdy Texas guy like Snake Eye, "Listen to me, guys, it's been very uneasy these days, you better be careful."
"Thank you for your concern." Lin Rui nodded, "but it's okay to meet you. Can you take me to your camp."
"What, are you going to the peacekeeping camp?" Now it's the peacekeeping soldiers' turn that is strange. Generally, these mercenaries have nothing to do with their peacekeeping forces, and many times they hate these mercenaries. It is believed that their existence has caused some conflicts that were originally small in scale and turned into mass casualties.
So there is almost no connection between peacekeeping forces and military companies. Some of them don't understand why these mercenaries actually want to go to their camp.
The second lieutenant hesitated, "Can I ask what's the matter?"
"It's nothing just to meet our boss, he is currently in your camp." Jiang An replied.
"Impossible, our camp..." The second lieutenant said halfway through, suddenly thinking of something, and said to the soldiers around him, "Look at them. I'll ask the command center." He walked to the car on the side of the road. Above, contact the peacekeeping force command by radio. He came back a few minutes later and waved to the soldiers, "Let's go back, and bring these guys together."
