Chapter 3017: The threat of faith collapse
This night, everyone in the tripartite joint exploration team spent endless noises, which was even mixed with the sound of huge drums and horns.
It was the Ethiopians who gathered around the hotel that made the noise.
Even in hotels, from time to time, a series of noises are made in the hotel, which disturbs everyone's rest.
Coupled with the messy guest rooms, everyone in the tripartite joint exploration team felt like they were suffering this night.
Fortunately, everyone slept in sleeping bags instead of dirty beds in hotel rooms.
In addition, everyone also wears sleep soundproof headphones.
When it feels too noisy outside, everyone will put on their headphones and retract into their sleeping bags to isolate those annoying noises.
Even though you feel a little depressed, you can fall asleep. This is the most important thing!
Until the early hours of the morning, those Ethiopians may be tired, or the tripartite joint exploratory team has not responded, so they are a little discouraged, and the noise is a little bit smaller.
After all, everyone has survived till dawn.
After getting up and washing briefly, everyone in the tripartite joint exploration team immediately put away their sleeping bags and luggage and prepared to leave this disgusting hotel.
Even breakfast, everyone is going to eat in the car, not in this hotel.
At this time, everyone can't wait to leave here soon, and don't want to stay for more than a second.
Just as Ye Tian and the others were packing up, Joshua brought people to his guest room and briefed him on the latest situation.
"Steven, after we negotiated with the Ethiopian government overnight and put pressure on various sides, the Ethiopian government promised to take some actions to change the situation faced by the tripartite joint exploratory team.
Just in the early hours of this morning, the Ethiopian government has responded by asking the military police who protect the tripartite joint exploratory team to drive away the Ethiopians who harassed everyone around the hotel."
Ye Tian suddenly stunned and said with a sneer:
"Those Ethiopians who were desperately making noise around the hotel were originally driven away. I thought they were tired from shouting, drumming, and leaving by themselves.
I don’t trust the Ethiopian government’s promise very much. They will not be acting again, will they? I have already seen their poor acting skills! "
"At present, we can only do this. Whether Ethiopians are performing, face to face, behind the scenes, we have to look at it!
If this is the case, we will respond and put further pressure on the Ethiopian government through various channels, and even cancel cooperation and assistance! "
Joshua said in a deep voice, his face gloomy.
"Well, let's look at their performance. It's time for us to leave this hotel. Go and see the conditions in these rooms. It's really disgusting. I don't want to stay longer for a second!"
Ye Tian nodded and said, and pointed to these rooms on both sides of the corridor.
"The situation downstairs is the same. We didn't expect that Ethiopians would be so disregarded, and would be so ugly!"
"How's the situation on Gondar? Isn't it the same?"
"I just called and asked the guys at Daqian Station. The situation there seems to be better. After all, it is the capital of Gondar Province, and there are many tourists.
The Ethiopian government still has to take into account the face and influence, plus they just made a statement, it is not good to immediately tear their skin and continue to disgust us"
"I hope so, let's get out of here!"
With that said, Ye Tian led people to the stairs.
Behind him, many brave men pushed their luggage and exploration equipment for the exploration company employees and security personnel, and immediately followed.
When they came to the second floor, they happened to meet the Bishop of Kent and his party.
Without exception, the bishops of Kent and their faces were gloomy and anger was hidden in everyone's eyes.
"Good morning, Bishop of Kent, how was your rest last night? Have you been disturbed by those annoying noises outside? It was so lively outside last night!"
Ye Tian said jokingly, a bit knowingly asking.
Unsurprisingly, the Bishop of Kent shook his head and said in exasperation:
"Ethiopians are doing too much. Not only are the noises constant, but the rooms are also messy and messy, which makes people unbearable to see. How can you have a good rest in this environment?"
The Bishop of Kent shook his head and said, using his words very restrained.
In his capacity, it is natural not to yell at him, that would be disgraceful.
However, the anger in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
After a few chats, everyone went downstairs together and came to the hotel lobby.
At this time, a group of Ethiopian officials and religious figures headed by Mustafa were already waiting in the hotel lobby.
Seeing Ye Tian and the others appeared, Mustafa immediately greeted them.
Coming to the front, the senior Ethiopian official said apologetically:
"I'm very sorry, gentlemen, it was so noisy last night, you must not have a rest, okay? Those guys who make noise around the hotel are all nearby residents and have been driven away by us!
For some special reasons, they spontaneously gathered around the hotel and made a lot of noise, which caused you a lot of trouble. For this reason, I would like to apologize, but this has nothing to do with the Ethiopian government!
We have already noticed this situation. Next, when the tripartite joint exploratory team launches operations in Ethiopia, we will try to avoid this situation from happening again. Please rest assured! "
Ye Tian looked at the senior Ethiopian official, especially the hotel manager standing behind him, and then said with a sneer:
"Before, we have been to many countries and places to explore treasures, but no matter which country or region we are in, we have never encountered this situation last night.
The enthusiasm of Ethiopians has opened our eyes to each of us, especially the stones and bricks that are all over the sky. Perhaps it is the unique welcome way in Ethiopia! "
Hearing this, the complexions of all the Ethiopians at the scene changed. They all became very ugly, all of them darkened.
They knew better than anyone what happened last night and why it happened!
Following Ye Tian's remarks, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very embarrassing!
One of the Ethiopian officials was about to defend, but was blocked by Ye Tian.
"The people outside the hotel who sang and danced all night, as well as the dirty hotel rooms upstairs, the blackened sheets, and the garbage on the floor completely refreshed our understanding.
I have always thought that Ethiopia is a beautiful and hospitable country with abundant water resources, beautiful scenery and simple and kind people, but the facts are completely different from what I thought!
What went wrong? Is it our cognition wrong, or is it the fact that it is? It seems that we are going to get to know this country again, do you think so, gentlemen? "
The voice fell, the scene fell completely silent, and all the Ethiopians froze in place.
They didn't expect that Ye Tian didn't give any face, so he told these scandals face to face.
Of course they are very clear about what they do!
Because of this, they didn't know how to refute them for a while after listening to these words with a gun and a stick.
There is no denying the facts before us!
Mustafa turned his head and glared at the hotel manager. His eyes were so fierce that he meant to push this guy out as a scapegoat!
At this moment, Ye Tian said again:
"Gentlemen, we still have a lot of preparatory work to do. This is not here to chat with everyone. If you have any questions, you can talk to Joshua and the Bishop of Kent. Goodbye!"
After speaking, he took David and the others to the door of the hotel and left all these Ethiopians on the spot.
Seeing his leaving back, the Ethiopians at the scene were all annoyed, but helpless!
At this time, many vehicles from the United Exploration Convoy have arrived at the door of the hotel.
After Ye Tian and the others got out of the hotel, they boarded these vehicles directly.
Perhaps it was the protests of the Israeli government and the Vatican that played a role, or perhaps the Ethiopian government realized that this is indeed a shame.
Those Ethiopians who gathered around the hotel last night to clamor and insult the tripartite joint exploratory team have all disappeared today.
Except for the Ethiopian military and police guarding the tripartite joint exploratory team, no other people, including media reporters, can be seen at the entrance of the hotel.
Even the heavily armed Ethiopian military police looked much better than yesterday!
At least they are no longer saggy and hippy smiling faces, anyhow they have a military look!
Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
From this point of view, the tripartite joint exploration team's operations in Ethiopia can continue and will not stop there.
After sitting in the car for about ten minutes, Joshua, the Bishop of Kent and others, as well as those Ethiopian officials and religious figures, got out of the hotel and boarded the car one after another.
Afterwards, the joint exploration team started slowly and drove away from this hotel!
The situation on the street is the same as the entrance of the hotel. The Ethiopians who were angry yesterday have disappeared today!
In the streets where the joint exploration convoy passed, there were only some Ethiopian police officers who maintained law and order, and no ordinary pedestrians and vehicles could be seen.
However, in the simple buildings on both sides of the street, there are many eyes staring at the huge convoy that crashed past.
After a while, the joint exploration convoy drove out of the small town and entered the wilderness again.
...
Gondar, also known as Gundal, is a city located in the northwestern part of Ethiopia.
This is the capital of Gondar Province. It is located on a plateau in northwestern Ethiopia, north of Lake Tana, at an altitude of about 2,225 meters, and has a small population of only about 70,000.
From the 17th century to the 19th century, Gondar was once the capital of the Abyssinian Empire. The city has splendid architecture, including the famous Fasiladas castle and palace.
Gondar is not only the old capital of Ethiopia, but also a historical and cultural city, as well as a religious and artistic center.
In the city of Gondar, there are magnificent ancient palace buildings, preserved many ancient arch bridges, beautifully carved and richly decorated multi-story towers, castles, palaces, churches, etc., which are precious historical and cultural heritage.
There are forty-four churches in the city. The churches are full of colorful frescoes and sacrificial costumes, drums, and other gold and silver products.
Among them, Debre Selassie Church is the most gorgeous.
It was built in the 17th century by the grandson of King Fasilidas, and in many ways embodies the traditional Ethiopian architectural craftsmanship.
Many buildings in Gondar have obvious traces of Indian and Arab influences.
Then the Jesuit monks from Portugal brought the Baroque artistic style to Gondar, changing its original style.
In addition to these buildings, the natural scenery of Gondar is also very beautiful.
Especially the high mountains in the north of the ancient city, the scenery is beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Passing through Gondar, all the way north, is the historic city of Ethiopia, Axum.
Axum is the most important destination of the trip of the tripartite joint exploration team, and it is probably the most important stop of the entire joint exploration operation.
According to legend, the church of St. Mary where the ark of the covenant was stored is in Aksum.
When the tripartite joint exploration convoy entered Gondar, it was just after ten o'clock in the morning.
As the joint exploration convoy gradually deepened and climbed up the plateau in northwestern Ethiopia, the extremely arid and uninhabited Sahara Desert has been completely left behind by everyone.
What appeared in everyone's eyes was a green world full of greenery and vitality, which was pleasing to the eye.
Just getting rid of the tripartite joint exploratory team in the Sahara Desert, everyone suddenly saw such a beautiful landscape full of life and excitement.
While the convoy was driving, everyone was greedily admiring the beautiful scenery outside the car window, nourishing their eyes with green, just like a long drought in the rain!
The only uncomfortable thing is that the Ethiopians encountered along the way still treated the tripartite joint exploratory team very badly, and many people were full of anger.
Especially those Ethiopian Orthodox monks in white robes, and many believers, after knowing that this team was a tripartite joint exploratory team, each of them was very angry.
Fortunately, these Ethiopians were more restrained, and did not unscrupulously attacked and insulted the tripartite joint exploratory team like the Ethiopians who passed through the three towns yesterday.
Of course, the Ethiopian military and police who protect the tripartite joint exploration team, as well as the Ethiopian police that can be seen everywhere along the way, are also an important reason.
The protests and pressure of the Israeli government, the Vatican, and Joshua still played a role.
Obviously, the Ethiopian government has also done some work.
They asked the accompanying Ethiopian military and police to protect the tripartite joint exploratory team, and the police along the way to control the local people to prevent the situation from happening yesterday.
In addition to the angry Ethiopians, there is another thing that makes some people in the joint exploration team a little uncomfortable.
That is the rapid increase in altitude!
On the way to Gondar, there is a section of mountain road with an altitude of about 3,000 meters.
When passing there, several people, including the Bishop of Kent, had a slight altitude sickness.
Fortunately, that section of the mountain road was not long, and the altitude sickness of the Bishop of Kent passed quickly without causing any bad consequences.
When the joint exploration team entered Gondar, everyone had returned to normal.
Unlike the previous towns, when entering the downtown area of Gondar, although there were many people watching the crowds on both sides of the street, no one attacked the convoy with stones or bricks.
Of course, the angry yelling and cursing are still one after another, and there are countless raised middle fingers.
Everyone can tolerate this situation without taking it too seriously. These high-level Israeli military vehicles have also cut off a lot of scolding.
You know, the tripartite joint exploration team came to Ethiopia to find the legendary treasure of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant, not to explore other treasures!
Once Ye Tian and the others succeed, they will definitely be one of the greatest archaeological discoveries!
For Ethiopians, it means that the faith, or a very important part of the faith, for one or two thousand years, will instantly collapse and be completely destroyed!
Under this circumstance, the anger and panic in the hearts of Ethiopians, and even the resulting hatred, can be imagined!
Because of this, they acted so radically!
What's more, this is Gondar, such a religious center!
Compared to the three towns that I passed through before, Gondar finally looked like a modern city.
There are many magnificent ancient palace complexes in this city, as well as many modern buildings. You can occasionally see a few modern high-rise buildings, and there are many more vehicles on the highway.
People walking on the streets of Gondar are also more modern and fashionable, similar to those in ordinary cities in Egypt and Sudan!
Of course, the modernity mentioned here is only relative!
The modernity of Gondar is only relative to the previous small towns, not super cities like Shanghai and New York.
Compared with Shanghai and New York, this place is like a primitive tribe!
As the convoy was moving, everyone was looking at the scenery outside the car window, looking at the people who were full of anger and kept rushing to the convoy to gesticulate the middle finger.
"It can be seen that the citizens of Gondar are also very hostile to the tripartite joint exploration team. It is estimated that the situation in other parts of Ethiopia is not much better!
Now I don’t expect Ethiopians to change their attitudes~www.wuxiaspot.com~I just hope that the hotel I stayed in today will be cleaner and have a good rest! "
David said with emotion.
Ye Tian smiled, and then said:
"Faced with the threat of the collapse of faith, it is not difficult to understand the anger and fear in the hearts of Ethiopians. It is estimated that this will happen to anyone in this situation.
This is only in Gondar, wait until Aksum, look again, the Ethiopians there will definitely hate us even more, maybe they will besiege the joint exploration team.
At that time, it depends on how well the Israelis are doing their work! Let’s warm up this trip to Gondar, if they make the same mistake as yesterday, it would be too stupid! "
While talking, the convoy had arrived at the booked hotel and stopped at the entrance of the hotel!
