Wang Benhu was a design engineer in the overseas department of Huajian Eighth Bureau. He had been stationed here since he came to Kabi in 2009. He was responsible for Huajian's investment projects in Benghazi, and the design and construction of 20,000 residential and public buildings for the Ministry of housing in Kabi.
At that time, Kabi had been under stable rule for 40 years. Although the local society was not very developed, it was orderly, peaceful, and stable.
In the 1980s, the current president began to invest heavily in the construction of the "Great Man-made River" project, known as the eighth wonder of the world. It pumped up the freshwater from the Sahara Desert in the southern part of Kabir and transported it to all parts of the country through a giant reinforced concrete pipeline with a total length of 4000 kilometers and a diameter of 4 meters to meet the water needs of the coastal cities in the Mediterranean Sea. It could be said that this was a very impressive move!
It had greatly alleviated the water shortage problem in Kirby.
Moreover, the social welfare of Kabi was not bad at that time. Although the standard of public hospitals was limited, people basically did not have to spend money to go to public hospitals to see a doctor, and their children basically did not have to spend money to go to school. The project that the China Construction Corporation was responsible for was actually a " guaranteed housing " built by the government for the citizens.
At noon, they wandered around Benghazi. The fiery red phoenix flowers were blooming on both sides of the road. It was very beautiful.
In the afternoon, people walked out of their homes. Some children would play football in the square, and the adults would laugh and cheer without any worries.
They thought that their lives would continue like this. Although it was dull, wasn't it peaceful?
However, who knew that in just a short period of time, war would engulf this originally stable country!
And the source of all this was the current president of Kabir, who had brought peace to Kabir!
The current president once said in a public setting,""My people will support me because I am building many houses for you. Some are under construction, and some are almost finished. You can live in good houses and live a good life!”
He thought that the people would cheer, be happy, and support him.
However, no one expected that the people who had been lurking in the dark would seize this opportunity to incite the crowd. People began to rush to the construction sites of the houses that were being built. When they saw the houses that had been built or were about to be built, they happily wrote their names.
He used this to declare that it belonged to him!
This shout did not matter, but it woke up thousands of civilians living at the bottom of the society. They rushed into the construction site one after another, and a nationwide housing frenzy broke out.
Then, the government sent out the military and police to suppress it, and the conflict erupted.
The rebel army became self-reliant, known as the National Army, and fought against the government.
The thugs rushed into the shops and wantonly snatched away the items that did not belong to them. Their sins were vividly displayed here.
Order was completely lost in this country.
The chaos of war had once again brought chaos to this country that was about to emerge from poverty.
"Hey!" Thinking of this, Wang Benhu could not help but sigh again.
Because of this war, all their investments in Kabi over the years had gone down the drain!
Shaking his head, he drove these thoughts out of his mind.
They couldn't even protect themselves, so what was the point of thinking about this!
"Go to sleep. Everyone, rest early!”Wang Benhu called out softly, telling his colleagues who were staring blankly to rest early."I'm on duty today. If there's any movement, I'll call you.”
"You guys rest early. If no one comes to rescue us at night, we'll leave this place under the cover of night and find a way out!”
After hearing his words, many people began to lie down and sleep, while some people could not sleep at all.
Being in danger always made them unconsciously think of their family, their hometown, and even the bowl of noodles and dumplings that their mother made…
Wang Benhu looked up at the ceiling and suddenly took out a notebook from the bag beside him.
This was his diary.
He had the habit of writing in his diary since he was young.
However, he did not write every day. Instead, he wrote a paragraph every once in a while. To be more accurate, it was an essay.
Today, he had mixed feelings. Facing such a situation, he couldn't help but open his notebook and take out a pen. With a heart full of worries, he wrote:
On January 6th, 2011, I had just returned from my vacation in the country. This was my third year working in Kabir. I originally thought that I would be able to enjoy the quiet life in Kabir as usual when I returned, but no one expected the " Arab Spring " that swept through North Africa and the Middle East to be so powerful.
Before I returned to Kabi, I heard that the situation there was unstable, but I always felt that the current president, as a powerful leader, would quickly take control of the situation. However, I didn't expect that after only a day of my arrival, the situation in Kabi would suddenly change and I would be forced to stay here.
When I first got off the plane, I saw many fighter jets parked in the airport. There were also many soldiers with solemn expressions and loaded guns. This was a scene that I had never seen before. At that time, I felt that it was strange.
When I got out of the airport and saw my colleague who was picking me up, I was also nervous.
Later, I found out that my flight was the second last flight to arrive. After my colleague's plane landed, Benghazi Airport was completely closed. This was her first time coming to Kabir.
On the way back to the camp from the airport, there were fewer cars on the road than usual, but occasionally we would see pickup trucks pulling soldiers with loaded guns.
My colleague told me that a few days ago, anti-government protests began to break out in Benghazi, and the local situation was very tense.
After we arrived at the camp, we spent the night in a nervous mood.
