Chapter 962 Baotou
In fact, Qi Tianlin himself didn't realize that he was already very able to adapt to such banquets and communication on the table.
In the past, I was somewhat resistant to attending such a party. As I became more and more skilled, I can’t say I was good at dancing now. At least I could handle it properly. I could communicate with these gorgeously dressed Indian upper class people and use my identity as the English Baron, which can indeed get a good response.
After using a sumptuous dinner, I used a wine glass to communicate in the traditional style of chatting and party in a Western style in the hall. There were quite a few people who greeted Qi Tianlin.
Because Indians really have a more complex mentality towards foreigners than China. This country that was once colonized by the British for a long time was extremely disgusted with that period of history. The humiliation and anger wanted to turn themselves into a big country. On the other hand, the former suzerain country left them with a relatively complete political, economic, transportation, legal and educational system, especially the special legacy of English, which made the exchanges between India and European and American countries particularly convenient.
But Qi Tianlin's feeling is that it is this kind of external force that has made India a state of deformed coexistence between feudal society and modern society, and it is a typical example of how it is to pull seedlings and encourage growth.
Those who can attend banquets are all high-ranking people. Not only the aristocrats who attend the aristocratic gatherings in Europe themselves, but the caste here is higher than that of ordinary people. If you can become a general, even the general's wife cannot be a pariah. Such things can also appear in a country that claims to be a democratic society, which is considered strange.
Regardless of the minister, the title of Chief Executive of Gibraltar and the baron, Qi Tianlin was respected very much. However, his identity as a businessman and political person has also kept the exchange in a stage of being close and distant, and all the topics were not uncommon. Qi Tianlin was very clear about the mentality of these military and political figures, and was not anxious. He just told in an understatement that he was not only assisting the US military in evacuation from Ahanfu, but also organizing a large number of US military veterans to enter countries in Southeast Asia as contractors to establish branches, responsible for security, military training and other work, which was to release some bait to see if anyone took the bait.
As a result, the dozen generals and more officials present didn't know him except his title, and they were not interested in his affairs on the battlefield...
Qi Tianlin was not disappointed, and gently flipped his right wrist with a champagne glass. A surface jumped to 9 o'clock in the evening on the electronic watch on the inside. Looking at Maruo, who was sitting on the mat with several generals and officials in the distance, he thought silently...
Boom!
The sound of the explosion is not only in this manor...
At least five different places around Mumbai, there are gunshots, bombs placed under cars, bombs thrown, and of course rocket attacks towards this luxurious villa manor!
At the same time, explosions also sounded around the small town of Amzeli, Punjab in northwestern India. A more unknown small town in the east, more than 300 kilometers away, near Galtaga, was even more disturbing, and even some houses were blown up!
The magnificent hall suddenly became a mess!
Qi Tianlin did not make any extreme moves, but he also stood out among these panicked dignitaries. He bent his waist slightly, and walked through the entire hall without any expression to Ma Ruo's side. The girl was shaking her hands and was holding a small fork fork fruit. Qi Tianlin scared her: "Are you not afraid of getting sick?"
Maruo tried his best to calm down, smiled and raised his head, lifted the fruit on the small silver fork and fed Qi Tianlin: "I read the travel guide, but it's not that scary in such a high-end place... Is it dangerous now?" She actually didn't stay in the battlefield much.
Qi Tianlin sat down beside her: "Nothing scary... Well, it's just the sound of the AK rifle and the RPG bazooka. The distance is still far, at least two hundred meters away, not much danger." Thinking about it, I feel that it's okay if I eat it, at least it's better than Maruo, so I bite the fruit in one bite.
Just the two of them were so calm that most of the men around them immediately approached the walls or stigmas to seek cover. Some of them could take care of their women, and some even lay down immediately. The original women beside Maruo screamed and hid behind the soft couch and shivered. There were violent attacks such as gunfights every year in Mumbai, which was really scary.
So the two people sitting by the soft couch and sharing the fruits were particularly eye-catching!
Qi Tianlin's words were heard by a young man sitting beside the soft couch behind him, and he looked up and asked, "Is there really no danger?" As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of window glass was shattered with a slamming sound of gunfire, splashing all over the ground, in return for more screams!
While touching his phone, Qi Tianlin responded: "Well, the sound of the shooting is still in its original direction and it did not rush towards this side. The problem is not very big..." He answered the phone: "Just be careful when you are by the car, don't leave the car, so as not to be unfamiliar with the language or accidentally injured with local military and police, and hide in the car." After hanging up the phone, he explained to the man in front of him: "My armed guards are not that urgent, so they don't have to come to support."
With a sharp whistle, a rocket with a gorgeous tail flame flew over from the front of the hall, hitting the wall on the far left of the manor and exploded. This luxurious apartment, which was actually not damaged, was filled with the sense of reality of the battlefield. It was so scared that it screamed repeatedly, but inadvertently, many people approached this seemingly stable place. It was really that Qi Tianlin's calm appearance could easily bring a sense of psychological security!
There was even a famous general: "I... heard you say it's an AK rifle?"
Qi Tianlin nodded: "Well, this kind of gunfire is easy to identify. Listen, the gunfire interval and the blasting sound are the sounds of the blasting sound!" He also took some dried fruits on the table, rubbed them in his hand and divided them a few for Maruo, and said while eating them.
The gunshot suddenly became fierce, and Qi Tianlin laughed: "Your military and police are here... How many kinds of light weapons are there? But there is no AK, it should be your military and police, but the distance is too far away and the shooting is fired..." He pointed at the direction casually and pointed to the other side: "The attacker is here."
The generals were not embarrassed: "Are you familiar with these gunshots?"
Qi Tianlin smiled: "I spend most of my time on the battlefield, this is the basic skill..." He patted his hands and patted off the dried fruit shells on his palm: "Okay, the AK rifle has basically not been fired, it should be retreating, the alarm is lifted..." Most people still hear the sound of gunfire outside, even more enthusiastic than before, but in the ears of a familiar hand who is used to distinguishing gunfire, everything is explained.
This is the most special place in India. A combat squad or police force of five or six people usually has five or six types of guns. There are several types of guns that are completely different from the caliber, type of ammunition to the launching agency, and maintenance. Just like the Chinese army before liberation, the Wanguo Card is the usual name for Indian ordnance. Even Qi Tianlin's company knew to use guns uniformly from the beginning. God knows how these Indians carried out logistics maintenance. There must be a variety of bullets alone, and you can't make mistakes.
Assaulters usually have only one or two guns due to the source of bullets and weapons. Listening to the obviously different gunshots, who else is not the Indian military and police?
Then a guard did run in and report: "There is a fire exchange there! There are already troops entering the manor to protect order on the periphery!"
Only then did the dignitaries completely relieved and try to restore their attitude and demeanor. However, at this time, Paul, who was not very noticeable before, became the center of communication.
"Why do you know it's not dangerous?"
"Aren't you afraid of bombs coming in and exploding?"
Qi Tianlin answered one by one with a good attitude: "The gunshots can be distinguished. If you shoot in a messy or orderly manner according to the military, you can judge whether the other party has received military training and the level of training. The most important thing is the distance between the gunshots. The gunshots three hundred meters away are a bit dull. This is because they are spread during the air transmission... After a while, the gunshots are still at this distance, which means that they have not attacked here at all, or the purpose is not here. As for the stray bullets flying over or... Oh, that is called rockets, madam, such an empty hall and beautiful and sturdy building, either explodes on the exterior wall, or passes through windows, or hits on the interior walls. Well, the chances are relatively small. The danger of running out is higher and being hit by stray bullets is better, so it is better to sit here."
Ma Ruo finally calmed down. Qi Tianlin's talk still gave her a very stable psychological hint, so leaning against Qi Tianlin, the smile on her face finally stopped being stiff. In fact, for the people around her, isn't it?
Even the General Basu came over: "They introduced you to be a battlefield expert, but I didn't expect..." Before he finished speaking, several generals' phone calls were ringing. As soon as he answered, his expressions were more solemn than the other.
Qi Tianlin was still so relaxed. At this time, he tried to bring drinks, and it seemed that it was not that scary.
In this party with the nature of an internal banquet of the general of the Ministry of National Defense, there were only two military generals who wrapped their heads in a headscarf, and three or four officials also wrapped their heads. After hearing the phone call, they all looked solemn: "There was also a bomb attack in Emuzeli..."
The officials wearing military caps and unbaotou looked at them with even more weird expressions. After a brief silence, another official who hung up the phone cracked the strange atmosphere: "Nanche was also exploded, I have to rush over as soon as possible, General Basu, you may have to go too!"
Basu turned around and was about to say something to Qi Tianlin, the young man who was hiding beside Qi Tianlin spoke: "I'll entertain this distinguished guest from afar on your behalf!"
General Basu saluted Qi Tianlin: "Then you can only travel to India for a few days, and then we can continue to discuss cooperation matters after we deal with these emergencies!" He turned around in a hurry and went out.
Several people from Baotou also whispered to greet each other and left...
The rest of the people were even whispering to each other in Indian language, and the couple had no idea what they were talking about.
Only the young man warmly invited the two to visit his home: "Because Nanche... is a military-industrial center, an attack broke out there and it would easily affect the layout and production of the entire military-industrial enterprise. General Basu, who is in charge of the Ministry of National Defense's military industry, must go to inspect, so you are a guest these days?"
Qi Tianlin, who was holding his headscarf, withdrew his gaze and agreed with a smile.
The turban is the most obvious sign of Sikkim's religious believers, not the vast majority of Hindus in the country.
Amzeli is the holy city of Sikkim!
