: Reporters on the front lines of war
boom!
A huge explosion suddenly sounded, causing Xiao Yi, who was sleeping soundly in bed, to wake up suddenly and roll down from the bed, looking for cover.
Many Chinese people from the Long Kingdom who were in the same room with him were also looking for cover in a panic, lying under the bed or hiding in the corner, trembling and looking panicked.
After this smooth operation, Xiao Yi, who was hiding under the bed, gradually calmed down from the shock and panic.
He reached for the phone on the bedside table and checked the time.
Six ten in the morning.
Xiao Yi looked up and looked out the window again. A street not far from the embassy street seemed to have been bombed. The city under the morning light was filled with thick smoke.
“Everyone, calm down! This is not an attack on us! It’s the next block!” An embassy staff member was comforting everyone room by room.
Xiao Yi got up from the bed, put on his coat, walked out, and asked, “Has the Legion reached Fifth Avenue?”
The embassy staff turned around and forgot about him. Thinking of the reporter from the News, they said, “I don’t know. You can ask Captain Luo and the others.”
Then he left to appease the other Chinese.
Xiao Yi found his companion, a photographer who was taking pictures of the panic inside the embassy.
They were all reporters from the Dragon Kingdom Capital News. They were originally stationed as reporters for the newspaper in Myanmar, which was considered a kind of permanent foreign assignment.
As a result, a civil war broke out in Myanmar. Xiao Yi and his colleagues sought asylum in the embassy, where they also met many Chinese from Longguo who came to seek asylum.
The embassy opened some rooms to accommodate them until the war was over, or to find ways to send these compatriots back to their countries.
Xiao Yi and his colleagues have also been doing some of their own work in the past two days, interviewing these Chinese people and recording how the embassy in the war zone helped the Chinese compatriots.
But now, he has an even bolder idea.
“Brother Guan.” Xiao Yi found the photographer Guan Zhiming and said, “I want to go outside and have a look.”
Guan Zhiming, who was playing with the camera, was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiao Yi seriously: “Xiao Yi, don’t mess around. You don’t know what’s going on outside now.”
“That’s why I wanted to take a look.” Xiao Yi looked out the window at the war-torn city.
“It’s not that easy to be a war reporter.” Guan Zhiming took out the cigarette case, shook it, and only two cigarettes slipped out.
He lit one for himself and handed the remaining cigarette to Xiao Yi.
Now that Naypyitaw is caught in the flames of war, all kinds of supplies are in short supply, and the same is true for the embassy.
Moreover, the embassy has also accepted many refugees, and supplies are even tighter. This is his last cigarette.
“Thanks for the reminder, but I always feel that I am tired of such a dull life.” Xiao Yi took the cigarette and lighter, lit it, took a deep breath, exhaled the thick smoke, and then said.

Being sent to a place like Myanmar, where the civil war is long-term and the situation is unstable, Xiao Yi is actually a restless master in his heart.
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Guan Zhiming sighed, handed Xiao Yi a smaller camera, and told him to be careful.
After Xiao Yi thanked him, he came to the first floor of the hall, passed through the people sleeping on the floor, and came to the gate.
Suddenly, he turned around and looked at the Chinese people in the hall who had no choice but to sleep on the floor in the hall because there were not enough rooms and beds. They were awakened by the sudden explosion just now, and they were a little panicked.
Xiao Yi raised the camera in his hand and recorded this moment.
Then he walked out of the hall.
In the yard, a group of embassy security soldiers were guarding the door. The original embassy security guards were also assembled and issued firearms.
The street outside the embassy is full of barbed wire and fences. The embassies of various countries on this street have activated war zone self-protection procedures. From time to time, armed personnel can be seen patrolling the roofs of the embassy buildings.
“Captain Luo!” Xiao Yi found Luo Haoliang, the security captain of the Dragon Kingdom Embassy who was observing the situation outside at the gate.
“Reporter Xiao, what are you doing?” Luo Haoliang was wearing a bulletproof vest and a tactical helmet on his head. He also had a bullpup rifle in his hand and a pistol strapped to his thigh. He saw Xiao Yi walking over and asked curiously.
“How is the situation outside now?” Xiao Yi asked.
Then he picked up a small camera and started filming.
Luo Haoliang pointed to the direction of the explosion and said: “Just now, an air-to-surface missile hit the seventh block next door, and then all the Burmese soldiers who were originally around this block ran away. Now our embassy is working with Contact the embassies of other countries and try to form a patrol team to take over the patrol security tasks of the fifth block.”
Xiao Yi took a look at the street outside. Apart from barbed wire and some abandoned vehicles, there were indeed no Burmese soldiers on the foggy street. Even the sandbag fortress that had just been piled up two days ago at the entrance of the block was empty. .
There were one or two security guards patrolling the entrances of the embassies of various countries, looking serious and nervous.
Because there were gunfire and explosions from time to time outside the neighborhood, and legion fighter planes roared past in the sky, launching air strikes against the Burmese army entrenched in the city.
Apparently the legion is launching its final offensive against the capital city of Myanmar!
“I want to shoot some scenes from the war zone, and preferably interview some local refugees.” Xiao Yi expressed his thoughts.
“Do you want to be a war correspondent?” Luo Haoliang’s expression changed, and he looked at Xiao Yi seriously, sizing up the man in front of him who was less than thirty years old.
“Yes, I want to go deep into the war zone and conduct the most authentic reports. I have already sent a message to the headquarters. I believe there will be a reply soon.” Xiao Yi said resolutely: “Besides, we also need some reporters to understand the frontline war. , isn’t it?”
Luo Haoliang didn’t say anything. He just picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand and reported to the embassy’s military attache, Colonel Xiong Wenwen.
Soon Luo Haoliang got the instructions. He said to Xiao Yi: “We are about to take over the fifth block. You can act with us for the time being and follow the command in everything.”
“Okay! Thank you very much!” Xiao Yi was overjoyed.
Luo Haoliang asked him to wait at the door.
After a while, several security guards from other embassies came over and formed a team of twenty-four people with the security guards from the Dragon Kingdom. The two sides communicated in multiple languages and even had some differences.
But in the end, about a dozen guard soldiers from the Dragon Kingdom, the Tsarist Russian Empire and several countries with good relations with them formed a small team, while the guard soldiers from several other countries, headed by the Eagle Kingdom, the English Kingdom and the French Kingdom, Form another squad.
Two teams began to take over the two intersections of Fifth Street where the embassies of various countries are located.
