This film, which was not publicized, has become the biggest black horse in the Spring Festival. This patriotic plot has aroused widespread discussion. Do you know what the prototype of the story of "Red Sea Action" is? Now let's decipher the real events behind operation Red Sea.
On March 29, 2015, a Chinese Navy frigate docked at the Yemeni port of Aden and began the task of evacuating Chinese nationals from Yemen. This is the second similar task performed by the Chinese Navy, and it is also the first time that Chinese warships directly arrived at the port to carry out the task of evacuating overseas Chinese. The task of evacuating overseas Chinese is performed by the 19th batch of Chinese Navy escort formation in the Gulf of Aden. On March 29, 122 Chinese citizens and two employees of Chinese enterprises from Egypt and Romania arrived at the port of Djibouti in the Republic of Djibouti on the night of local time on the Chinese Navy's "Linyi" ship, and were then properly placed by the Chinese Embassy in Djibouti.
On April 2, 2015, the Chinese Navy's Linyi ship carried 225 overseas Chinese from 10 countries including Pakistan in Yemen to Djibouti safely from Aden port, Yemen. According to preliminary statistics, 176 people were evacuated from Pakistan, 29 from Ethiopia, 5 from Singapore, 3 from Italy, 3 from Germany, 4 from Poland, 1 from Ireland, 2 from Britain, 1 from Canada and 1 from Yemen. Prior to that, the Chinese government also assisted eight overseas Chinese from Romania, India, Egypt and other countries in the evacuation of Chinese citizens from Yemen.
After reading the incident, we are not a simple retelling. Today I want to tell you the story behind the evacuation!
Let's tell you a few stories about this overseas Chinese operation:
Story 1
Shell approaching ship forced out of port
On the morning of April 2 local time, when Linyi warship docked at Yading port, a shell was reported to have landed by the guard post at 60 ° 5km on its starboard side. Then, seven minutes later, a crane was suspected to have been strafed by a tank at the head of the warship, and several grenades hit the crane.
After finding out this situation, the on-site commander immediately escorted the personnel on the wharf who did not have time to board the ship. At the same time, emergency measures were launched, and the ship was ready for operation immediately. At the same time of ensuring the safety of the overseas Chinese, they left the wharf quickly.
In general, tugboat assistance is needed for the ship to leave the wharf. On the same day, extraordinary measures were taken. In the absence of assistance from the wharf personnel, the ship untied the cable and forced out of the harbor by itself to ensure the safety of the evacuees.
The true story behind the evacuation of overseas Chinese in action in the Red Sea
Story two
And the government has opened up green light for China
Tian Qi, Chinese ambassador to Yemen, said the work of the Chinese embassy was supported by the Yemeni government, which has almost stopped working.
After the air attack, it is difficult for the government departments to carry out normal work. The first two days are night air attacks, and the third day is day and night air attacks. It is not safe to stay anywhere, and it is difficult to find people to handle affairs. The staff of the Chinese Embassy call the officials in charge. Usually they don't answer the phone, but they do.
When China deals with the entry permit of warships, many leaders of the Yemeni military need to sign it and then give it to the port authority. Only in this way can Chinese warships obtain permission for water diversion, tugging and port entry. Tian Qi and others were moved by the fact that friends of the Yemeni military immediately helped the Chinese side with the permission after receiving the request.
He drove himself to his boss's house and asked them to sign it. He did it the same day. In addition, the military, the Ministry of the interior and the police all fully cooperate with China's security along the way. As long as China makes a request and the supreme leader orders, it must provide security and convenience for the evacuation of Chinese citizens. After 230 kilometers of road, 9 checkpoints, the Chinese motorcade was unblocked and drove directly to the wharf.
At the time of evacuation, Yemenis joked to him, "you (Chinese) are the safest here. All Yemenis are your bodyguards.". This shows that the image of the Chinese people in the eyes of the Yemeni people is very good. Over the years, China's assistance to Yemen has achieved very good results.
Story three
The warships should have come to the port for replenishment and rest during the evacuation
On the Internet, the news that "we eight dishes, soldiers eat salted vegetables" became a hot spot for a while. In response, Liang said, this shows that netizens still don't know much about the life of sailors. Liang Yang, for example, said he had participated in the 12th batch of Gulf of Aden convoys. In order to ensure the safety of passing ships, warships had only one chance to rest once a month.
According to the original plan, this formation will have a rest on April 1. When the formation received the mission, it was March 26. It was March 29 when the first group of personnel was on board. In other words, the green vegetables and fruits on board are very precious.
It shows that the glorious tradition of the army we established 87 years ago has not changed.
Liu Yongxuan, the military official of the Embassy in Yemen, also said that in addition to the problem of eating salted vegetables, news that soldiers were sleeping in the corridor also attracted public attention. On March 30, the largest group of Chinese citizens evacuated, totaling 455. Weifang arranged beds for all 455 people. In fact, this is a frigate, with about 200 officers and soldiers. In the face of 455 people, except for the captain's inability to vacate the bed because he is responsible for maneuver, all officers and soldiers have vacated the bed.
Story four
Ensure that personnel and warships arrive at the same time
After the dramatic changes in the situation, China will try to find out the rules of the exchange of fire between the two sides and seize the precious window of the ceasefire between the two sides to withdraw overseas Chinese. At that time, we were most worried about the situation of "people and other ships" or "ships and other ships." this is the most dangerous situation. "The Chinese ambassador to Yemen asked:" we should make sure that everyone can synchronize. The army is close to the harbor, and our personnel are assembled. This is the best. Communication and coordination work in this area is the most. '
The synergy between the military and the embassy is thought to be seamless. According to reports, the first batch of Linyi ships took 124 people back, which took only 39 minutes, with an average of 18 seconds per person. In addition, a large number of personnel screening and luggage inspection should be completed in this period of time. The second batch of 455 evacuees took only 81 minutes, with an average of less than 2 seconds per person.
Story five
The chef finally leaves and prepares food for everyone on the way
The staff of the embassy and the consulate general have experienced a lot during this period of time. Everyone has a legend and touching story. At the end of the day, 14 male staff members stayed at the embassy.
Among them, the last remaining chef is an excellent chef from Xi'an who is about 50 years old. From March 26 to the final evacuation, he cooked exquisite meals for everyone every day, so that everyone had no worries. During the evacuation, he prepared food and drinks for the embassy staff.
Summary: as Huang Ping, director of the Consular Department of the Chinese Embassy in Yemen, commented, there have been more than a dozen Chinese evacuation operations abroad, large and small. This time, Yemen's evacuation is the 'most proud'.
This is China's great power diplomacy! This is China's great power pattern! This is China's "people-oriented" concept and internationalism, humanitarian spirit!
It can be said that Yemen's overseas Chinese withdrawal has triggered a great discussion on China's overseas interests and the PLA's overseas operations at home. Film and television works related to this topic have also started to become domestic box office reapers. The Mekong River operation against the background of overseas operations and the war wolf 2 against the background of overseas Chinese withdrawal have achieved excellent box office results, but these two films are more inclined to China's overseas interests In personal heroism and action movies, it is weak in reflecting the achievements of China's national defense construction and the ability of PLA and armed police officers and men to carry out tasks. However, in the film "operation in the Red Sea", which will be released on the first day of the new year, the audience can see the battle scenes of PLA Special Forces, including the grand war scenes and the special operations, which can be said to be true In a positive sense, the combination of action movies and military movies, whether action scenes or story lines, can bring the audience completely different visual enjoyment from "wolf 2"!
