The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer - Chapter 2075
On the Black African Continent, whoever controls the railway can be extended, and even directly controlled.
The huge influence of railways on the Black Africa region is unmatched by other regions, and the transportation capacity is large, and the relative cost is low-both the construction cost and the transportation cost are low.
At this time, the patrol aircraft in the air had already turned to the east, and after entering Ugandan airspace, the situation of several previous bombing targets was determined.
The effect is good, the structure of the sledge-knife kills the chicken so that all the ones that should be fried are deep-fried!
Tu-142M3 then turned to the south and approached the sky over Goma, the capital of North Kivu Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo, after half an hour, and the signal was connected again.
What Zhang Nan first noticed was not the city, but a very tall active volcano in the northern part of the city of Goma, up to 10 kilometers away from the city.
It is possible to see that the volcano is very tall without the need for observing equipment to close the field of view. It can be judged that the volcano is two kilometers higher than the city by visual inspection.
The huge crater is very conspicuous. It is no problem with a diameter of two kilometers. White smoke is constantly emitting. As the plane flies and the distance gets closer, there is actually a bright large volcanic lake in the crater!
This is an active volcano, or an extremely active active volcano. The city of Goma is not small in scale. According to the data, it has a permanent population of 800,000 in about 85 years.
A large number of Rwandan refugees poured in the year before, and now the city has a population of over one million. In China, this can be regarded as an absolute large city.
If I remember correctly, the year before last, in 1993, the population of Hangzhou was only 1.15 million.
Backed by a huge active volcano, Lake Kivu is directly adjacent to the south of the city.
I have heard that there is a huge active volcano belt at the junction of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. There are 8 large active volcanoes distributed within a distance of 60 to 70 kilometers from north to south.
It’s a wonderful natural landscape. There is 2700 square kilometers of Lake Kivu to the south of the city. Behind it is a super large active volcano, surrounded by lush vegetation, which is said to be beautiful.
Not far from the equator and close to an altitude of nearly 1,500 meters, Goma City is said to be like spring in all seasons, with no heat or cold, and the temperature is just at the level that can produce bananas.
No wonder this Goma was said to have been a famous tourist city in the past. Many western tourists will turn to Rwanda to travel here: it is only 90 kilometers away from the capital of Rwanda, and it is 20 times the distance from the capital of Kinshasa!
The big lake has scenery and can climb the volcano, and get close to the lava lake. Many western tourists like this road.
“Goma and Gisenyi in Rwanda are connected together?” Zhang Nan asked smoothly while looking at the city overlooking on the screen.
The size of the city seems to be really big. In the interior of Black Africa, cities of this size are not common.
“Yes, boss, now the urban areas of the two cities are completely connected, similar to the former East and West Berlin.
It was before that Berlin was artificially separated, Goma and Gisenyi were artificially next to each other…
The runway of Goma International Airport is less than 600 meters from the nearest border line, and that distance is still full of residential areas for the poor.
There is also a smaller airport in Gisenyi, Rwanda next door. The runways of the two airports are north-south and parallel.
The distance between the runways of the two airports is less than two kilometers, which is very interesting. In North America, the distance between the two runways in a large airport may be more than this number.
The two runways of Goma and Gisenyi belong to two different countries, different cities, and different airports…”
Zhang Nan asked Romeo Dallaire, among the people in the command room, including those combat staff, whether Dallaire knew Rwanda and its border areas best.
When he was the commander of the United Nations peacekeeping force in Rwanda, Dallaire was not a decoration or trash that would just sit in his office and listen to reports!
Mr. Brigadier General said again: “After the massacre, Goma and Gisenyi drew barbed wire in the corridor between the houses on the two sides.
Now those barbed wire fences should have been ruined a lot. ”
This is natural. Rwanda invaded the Democratic Republic of Congo and it is most convenient to cross the border from here.
“What is the name of that volcano? I remember it should be a volcanic belt, right.”
“Yes, boss. Next to Goma and Gisenyi is the Nyiragongo volcano in the Virunga volcano group. There is a Niamragila volcano nearby which is also very spectacular, and it is with Nyiragongo. It’s as active as a volcano.”
Dallaire’s words made Zhang Nan a little dizzy, and Mr. Brigadier General’s speech was quick. When talking about the volcano name with similar pronunciation, he listened to the same if he didn’t pay much attention.
Too lazy to distinguish, it’s just a volcano anyway.
Zhang Nan heard this and said, “I don’t know how stable the active volcano is.
A big lake and a volcano, a great place!”
At this time, Dallaire noticed that Andre and Thomas were shaking their heads slightly, and quickly said: “Boss, you’d better not go there if you are fine.”
Zhang Nan was a little surprised, turned his head and said, “Why?”
Dallaire hadn’t answered yet. He rushed back to Botswana yesterday. This was accompanied by Guan Xingquan who was in the command room. He said to Zhang Nan in a cold tone: “That volcano exploded three times in the 1970s, once in the 1980s, and in 1977. At least two thousand people died in the city of Goma in just one hour.
The magma flow rate set a world record, 100 kilometers per hour, running so fast, it was too late to escape.
It will explode at any time, are you interested? ”
Well, in this command room, only Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan can talk to Zhang Nan in rhetorical tone.
And if you would say that, it’s the boss alone. If you change to a brother-in-law, the last sentence is usually: “It will explode at any time, watch out for it!”
Brother Guan would say this, indicating that he would be in a good mood, otherwise it would be a simple sentence: “You can go if you are not afraid of death, and be careful to blow up into the sky.”
It really makes us simple, rude, and straightforward, just like when a group of Toho executives blew Zhang Nan to catch thousands of pounds of bluefin tuna in Tokyo.
After talking about it for a long time, Guan Ge seemed to translate: “It’s rare to catch a big fish and bully it. Thousands of pounds are rare.”
Listening to him can sometimes suffocate you with internal injuries. You have to get used to it.
During this time, Guan Xingquan used various channels to learn about the situation near the eastern border of the Democratic Republic of Congo~www.mtlnovel.com~ When he went to Rwanda the year before, he also learned about the situation in the Great Rift Valley to a certain extent, so this will open his mouth.
Looking at it in a good mood today, I said a few more words: “That volcano is actually a trifling matter. The most troublesome thing is Lake Kivu, which is known as the No. 1 Lake of Killing in Africa.
It explodes once every 1,000 years, and every time it can kill all the creatures around the lake, including the big trees and plants.
Many experts have conducted on-site investigations and judged based on the sediments drilled in the lake, it has been almost a thousand years since the last explosion. ”
At this point, I changed to Taizhou dialect: “I said Anan, do you want to go?”
Some people can already understand the Yanxian dialect. In Taizhou dialect, apart from Guan Xingquan, Zhang Nan and Xiang Weirong can also understand a few sentences.
Zhang Nan understood this sentence.
The gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, and immediately dispelled his plan to go there in the future.
In the face of the power of nature, people, no matter who they are, are insignificant.
I haven’t had enough of my good life, so I will never risk it!
that is…
“The lake will explode? Poisonous?”
It seems that I have heard that certain waters emit toxic gases, such as near Yellowstone National Park in the United States.
Guan Xingquan said: “It’s not simply a toxic gas. The lake is very deep and there is a huge amount of methane below it.
For thousands of years, the volcano ten kilometers to the north is a lighter.
It is said that the volcano is not only a crater above it, but sometimes it erupts horizontally.
The flood of water will occur once in ten or a hundred years. If a volcano has a once-in-a-millennium eruption, it is estimated that the methane in the lake will be spotted, and the entire Lake Kivu will directly become a super bomb. ”
At this point, Guan Xingquan said leisurely: “If I can see it once in my lifetime…it must be spectacular.”
