Chapter 543

The congressional investigation team stayed in Italy for nearly a week. Originally, according to the plan, the investigation team's schedule in Naples was only one day. However, with the arrival of EVA, a famous American technology giant, the leader of the investigation team, Massachusetts Congressman Kelvin, had to stay for a few more days.

Although the general election in the United States is over, the mid-term election in the United States is still more than a year away. Colvin hopes to run for governor of Massachusetts. Since he wants to run for office, he needs the support of the gold owner. EVA, a wealthy woman from Yota communications, and Kelvin are both Harvard alumni. Therefore, for his own political future, Kelvin chooses to use this opportunity to win EVA's support in Italy. Therefore, he deliberately delays the journey of the whole investigation team. Zoe is just a little reporter, although he is dissatisfied with this, But there was nothing he could do.

The accompanying reporters of the New York Times felt that even if the friendship Africa Foundation was given an extra week, it would not be possible for them to fill the warehouses in Mogadishu with food. In fact, it was. During this period of time, the fraternity Africa Foundation did not frantically deliver food to the United Nations Relief Agency's storage and transportation warehouse in Mogadishu. On the contrary, they also filled trucks with sacks printed with the United Nations, the Red Cross and the bright American Star Spangled Banner, and transported them to Ogaden, Ethiopia's worst hit province. But these sacks are not filled with grain, they are filled with sand.

Yes, the fraternity Africa foundation is frantically going to the sand that cannot be eaten in Ethiopia, Russia and BIA. And it's all in the eyes of the Somalis in Mogadishu. And the rumor that has been circulating in Mogadishu recently also makes Somalis feel that it should be true.

"Americans want more Somalis to starve to death just because they are Allah's people. Americans just want Ethiopians to survive（ The mainstream religion in Ethiopia is the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, similar to the Russian Orthodox Church, but it recognizes the authority of the Pope under the Italian colonization. Somalia is dominated by the Communist church. " Somalis who hold this view are outraged, and the symbol of the peaceful and loving Red Cross (shipped to Ethiopia, so not the Red Crescent) now looks so dazzling to Somalis.

As a result, discontent and anger began to permeate the streets of Mogadishu. Whenever the food convoy of friendly Africa passed through the streets of Mogadishu, Somalis on both sides of the road glared at the bags of bulging food on the truck, and their eyes would burst out with fire.

Boris is in charge of the Gorky brotherhood in Somalia from Turkey. Chebyshev and others have never stopped working since they returned to Mogadishu by charter flight overnight. They don't understand why they have to transport the sand and soil from the warehouse to Ogaden Province in Ethiopia for dumping. They only know that this is the above meaning. But Chebyshev and others alone can not complete such a huge project. They hired almost all the trucks in Mogadishu to deliver sand to Ethiopia. In order to keep it secret, Boris did not allow Chebyshev to hire local people. Instead, he sent more people from Turkey to Mogadishu.

At the moment when the message about the U.S. investigation team in Mogadishu was very noisy, the congressional investigation team led by Zoe and Kelvin finally arrived in Mogadishu.

Somali president Muhammad siad Barre showed great interest in the arrival of the Americans. A few years ago, because of the poor performance of the Soviet air force during the Ogaden war, Barre angrily drove all the more than 1000 Soviet pilots sent to Somalia out of Somalia, which directly led to the collapse of the Soviet Union to Somalia's opponent Ethiopia. In today's world, all countries must choose sides between the United States and the Soviet Union unless they declare neutrality. Although Somalia is now a socialist country, they can no longer return to the Soviet Camp. The United States is the only support for Somalia.

Although the purpose of Kelvin's visit is to investigate the food reserves of the friendship Africa foundation, an ambitious politician will not give up the opportunity to show himself on the diplomatic stage. So instead of immediately investigating fraternity Africa, Kelvin first played a social card with the barre government and the officials of the United Nations. Even if the friendship of Africa is completely destroyed, it will not bring any benefit to Kelvin. It is better to have a good relationship with foreign politicians. Among the colleagues, there are many journalists. As long as they pass on Kelvin's diplomacy in Somalia, they will bring down a large number of competitors.

Zoe and Kelvin live in the international hotel in the center of Mogadishu, where Zoe and Jimmy meet again. Jimmy told Zoe everything he found during this period, and Zoe looked confused after hearing it. She asked, "why is fraternity Africa moving food to Ethiopia again? What on earth do they want to do? "

"I don't know. I just know that their motorcade starts from Mogadishu to Ogaden every day! But the team is full of their people, I can't find out more about it Answered Jimmy.

"It doesn't matter. Now it's too late for them to come and help the victims. I don't believe they can turn that 7 million tons of grain out of thin air again!" Zoe said with disapproval.

In Mogadishu, the places where foreigners and international organizations live have little contact with local people, probably because of security problems. Journalists like Jimmy also live in the security zone designated by the United Nations. So what's going on in Mogadishu is not clear to these foreigners.

Zoe came with the investigation team, and his action was legally approved by the investigation team. So Zoe can't leave here without permission. But this Kelvin seems to have forgotten all the business of coming to Mogadishu.

Rubik and others, who were photographed by Yakov in Mogadishu, also hid in the safe area of Mogadishu where foreigners live. Their task this time is more complicated, but killing Zoe is one of their tasks. Before accepting the new order, Rubik and others pretended to be United Nations staff and stayed in the international hotel to monitor the every move of the delegation. At the same time, they are also preparing for another task.

……

A few days later, the largest local newspaper in Mogadishu published a piece with the title of "food is going to be carried away by the Americans!"
