Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 410 The Brick Factory
When the Chinese peacekeeping force first arrived in Country L, Li Zheng's biggest feeling was that the people here didn't trust him.

Even if there are often small traders around the camp who want to do business with officers and soldiers, they will be able to flatter and curry favor with you, but they are definitely not sincere.

More often, when Li Zheng and the others go out on patrol, they see those pairs of eyes full of vigilance and doubt staring at you.

In China, the eyes of the masses looking at soldiers are full of trust, but not here.

But the people here are not your enemies, they are just poor people struggling in suffering.

This country has grown from a colony a hundred years ago to independence and then to war. The foreigners who have entered here all the year round have not brought them peace and prosperity, but only death and division.

So, how could it be possible to make them feel good about foreigners?
In China, most of the children’s weekends and holidays are often spent with their parents, watching movies or eating delicious food, or going to play with friends they know well, or surfing the Internet at home. He was sent to study in a cram school.

But here, the fate of children is closely related to the fate of this country. Most of them had no movies, no big meals in their childhood, let alone any supplementary classes, and formal education could not be popularized.

Not long after the confrontation with Gallic Chicken, they suddenly received a call from Tong Zhi, the superior, saying that the Eastern Theater Command would send a commissioner down to inspect the work.

The content of the inspection includes the construction of the camp, the maintenance and configuration of weapons and equipment, etc.

According to the issued standards, the Huaxia camp needs to build at least two seepage ponds to filter waste water and avoid polluting the local soil.

This is very environmentally friendly, and also echoes the nature of the work of the United Nations itself.

Now the basic construction of the Huaxia camp has been completed, especially the defense of the camp. The explosion-proof walls are also in place, and even the septic tanks for the toilets have been built, but no seepage pools have been dug.

Since it is the request of the superior, it is still necessary to do it.

But after learning the lessons from the past, he no longer applied for materials from Commissioner Locke. The efficiency of this man's work is really unbearable. When he is done, it is estimated that the day lily will have to be cooled several times.

So Xia Zhiguo asked Wang Translator to go to J City, called the vendor Hamfata who served the camp area, took Li Zheng and four people as guards, went to the urban area to find material suppliers, and after finding all the materials Giving it to the brothers in the engineering unit to build it themselves can be regarded as saving money for the United Nations, because the construction funds are reimbursed from the construction funds issued by the Eastern Theater Command.

When Hamfata received the call, he rushed to the camp immediately, took Wang Translator and Li Zheng into the urban area, and found a brick factory.

Before entering the door, Hamfa Tower had already blown the conch to Wang Translator, saying that this brick factory is so strong and reliable, it is the best brick factory in J City, and its quality is even better. the existence of one.

Fatty Wei followed behind, listening to Hamfata brag, and whispered to Li Zheng: "Believe it or not, this guy definitely got a kickback."

Of course Li Zheng believes it, but this is normal in country L. Hamfata is a businessman, and the businessman didn't provide you with voluntary services for no reason. After all, it was to make profits.

"Do you think our translator Wang doesn't know, or our commander doesn't know? They all know." Li Zheng said, "As long as it doesn't go too far."

Fatty Wei said, "Tell me, how much kickback will he get? Half of it?"

This is of course small talk bullshit.

The amount of money is not up to the two of them to intervene and control, it is up to the commander to decide, and since he has been in J City for so long, he still knows the approximate price level, if it is too outrageous, Hamfata will lose Huaxia in the future The trust of the peacekeeping camp, for a smart businessman, he would not choose to do short-lived business in a short period of time.

Therefore, Li Zheng believes that Hamfa Tower will definitely quote a reasonable price.

After entering the door, Translator Wang frowned.

Fatty Wei started covering his mouth and laughing, and said, "I'm just saying this guy is bragging, right?"

Because this brick factory really cannot be described as "big". At best, it is a small workshop and a small yard. The inside is about five or six hundred square meters. The left and right sides of the entrance are full of raw materials, including stones, sand and cement. The yard is full of molds of various shapes. Judging from the appearance of the molds, there are not many varieties. They are generally made of simple building components and materials such as hollow square bricks and beams and columns.

But the Hamfa Tower is not wrong. The main material for the construction of the seepage tank is hollow square bricks.

What surprised Li Zheng and the others most was that the busy workers in this brick factory were all children!

And they are all very young children!
Judging by his appearance, Li Zheng is definitely about the same age as Boulma.

This is why Translator Wang frowned as soon as he entered the door.

It’s not that I dislike the scale of the brick factory, and I don’t ask for any scale here. Is it possible that you still require ISO9000 certification in a war-torn country like Africa?

But children mean child labor, which is a very sensitive matter.

Li Zheng saw that the oldest child used a shovel to mix sand, gravel and cement together and stirred vigorously, while the other older child carried a bucket of water and poured water into it.

The bodies and faces of the two child workers were covered in cement dust, and even their eyelashes were stained.

Although they are young, their muscles are relatively clear, and it is clear at a glance that they are the result of long-term physical work.

That bag of 50 kilograms of cement could be picked up by any one of those dolls, placed on top of their heads, and walked away. Li Zheng was worried about whether the thin neck could support such a heavy cement, and he was afraid that it would be broken in an instant.

The eyes of these children seemed a little numb and empty. They even just glanced over when foreigners like Li Zheng entered the door, and then they continued to do whatever they should, and they were no longer interested in looking at these Chinese peacekeepers.

Translator Wang subconsciously asked Hamfatah: "Why are all the workers here child labor?"

"child labor?"

Hamfarta was very surprised.

"These children!" Translator Wang pointed at the busy dolls, "Aren't these child laborers?"

Hamfata was startled for a moment, then finally understood, and said in a nonchalant manner, "We are all like this here, there is no such thing as child labor or child labor."

At this time, the owner of the brick factory ran out from the inner room, saw Hamfata and Wang Translator, and greeted him as if he had seen the God of Wealth.

"Welcome my distinguished guest, please go to the house and have tea."

After speaking, he made a please gesture with both hands.

"I won't go." Translator Wang said to Hamfa Tower with a bad face, "Change to another one. The bricks here... I can't afford it."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

The owner of the brick factory was stunned, but Hamfata caught up and stopped Wang Translator.

"Major Wang, can you give me 10 minutes, let's talk in the room, I know what you are thinking, you are very angry when you see the situation here, but I can't tell you clearly here, you Can you come in, sit down, and we can talk peacefully?"

Seeing Hamfata's earnestness, Translator Wang thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go in and talk with you for 10 minutes, and see what you have to say."

After speaking, he said to Li Zheng and the others: "You guys wait here, I'll go in and come out right away."

When Translator Wang entered the room with the boss and Hamfat, Fatty Wei looked around and asked Li Zheng, "Do you think... this business can be negotiated?"

　Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation ticket!
