Chapter 1700 Green train?
Xiao Peng didn't care what Fabian said. He was a typical "whatever he thought was done" person. After returning to the hotel, he quickly decided on his itinerary: he was going to Noyabrsk in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
It belongs to the Tyumen Oblast of Russia. For those who are not good at geography, it can be simply called "Western Siberia".
He really didn't go there just for the fun! In Kasin's words, 'As long as you leave the city, you're more likely to encounter reindeer and Arctic foxes than people, and more people die of freezing to death every year than from disease...'
He went there because there was the "best way for Russian civilians" to travel: the train.
There's a direct train from Moscow to Noyabrsk, and I heard it won the 2004 "Best Signature Train of Russian Railways" award! Xiao Peng last took a train in France, and he's really looking forward to Russia's broad-gauge trains.
The railway tracks here in Russia are 1524 mm, while the tracks in Daxia are standard tracks of 1435 mm. Although the difference is not big, the capacity, stability and comfort of wide-gauge trains are much higher than those of standard tracks!
However, the disadvantages of broad-gauge trains are also obvious: the cost of bridges, tunnels and laying railways are very high, and the speed is relatively slow.
However, Russia has a special liking for broad-gauge railways. This is not because they are rich, but because broad-gauge railways can be said to have saved their lives.
During the Soviet defense war in World War II, German trains could not run on Soviet tracks and had to change trains midway, which hindered Germany's military progress. The Soviet Union was able to drag the war into the winter and defeat Germany's broad-gauge railway, which also played a role.
Of course, this is not the widest. The Spanish railway is 1674mm. However, due to the integration of the European Union, Spain has also begun to carry out track conversion projects, changing wide gauges into standard gauges.
Xiao Peng took off his fur coat and put on a down jacket and wool sweater, a large fur hat called "Ushanka", two large gloves, and a large travel bag, looking like a tourist.
Only Kasim was with him.
In fact, he didn't even want to take Kashin with him. But when they heard that Xiao Peng planned to go to Yamal-Nenets alone, a group of people jumped out to oppose it. Ivan's words were the most direct: Xiao Peng's safety must be the top priority now. Even if he doesn't want others to accompany him, Desarev and others will secretly protect Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng understood this - he thought about sneaking away, but then he thought it was stupid: after all, he needed his passport to buy a train ticket, and people could easily find out his whereabouts.
In fact, Xiao Peng really didn't want Kasim to go. He was very busy these two days: he had been keeping an eye on Igor, fearing that Igor would kill his wife.
Igor was a ruthless man. He divorced his wife as soon as he returned.
Of course his wife refused to divorce, so Igor took out the call girl website and found his wife's information, and the two of them completed the divorce procedures.
It's interesting to note that although finding prostitutes in Russia is about as difficult as buying vodka, the law here doesn't provide for penalties for buyers, and sellers are subject to only symbolic fines and not even detention. This is why prostitutes are everywhere.
Although the punishment here was so light and prostitutes were easy to find, buying or selling them was still illegal. If this matter were to get out, Igor's wife would be in trouble, and Igor himself was a police officer... So, although reluctant, his wife agreed to a divorce.
But his wife made a request: Igor had to bear half of the debt, and then... she didn't want children. She was still waiting for her French lover to come back to her! At that time, children would become a stumbling block to their happiness.
What's the saying? You can never wake up someone who's pretending to be asleep, and no one who's been fooled will admit they were fooled. But this woman just abandoned her three children, and this behavior is really chilling!
Facts prove that not all mothers in the world love their children.
Igor seemed very angry, but still agreed to his wife's request for divorce, and then found Vladimir: Marina still owes you three million, if you don't want it, I will come to trouble you six times a month.
Vladimir was so happy that he almost burst into laughter: now he was rich again! So he patted his chest and promised: I will definitely let Marina know what society is!
Kashin also asked Desaryev to help find a connection to transfer Igor to St. Petersburg. Igor took his children there to start a new life. Although he already had three children, it wouldn't be difficult for him to start a new family. Even if he couldn't find someone very good, he wouldn't find someone worse than Marina, right?
After all this, Xiao Peng and Kashin set off for Moscow Railway Station to board the train to Noyabrsk. Since the train didn't leave until 10:35 PM, they had a hearty meal before heading to the station. However, when he saw the train, all his expectations vanished instantly!
"What...what is this?" Xiao Peng was a little confused.
Isn't this truck in front of you the legendary 'green train'?
This train really has green carriages, and there is a conductor wearing a wide-brimmed hat standing at the door of each carriage to check tickets.
After hearing this, Kasim said, "Boss, aren't you looking forward to taking the train? This is the train that goes directly to Noah Brisk."
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: "How fast can a train like this run?"
Kasin smiled and said, "Well, this train is pretty fast. It only takes 61 hours to get to Noah Brisk."
Xiao Peng opened his mouth wide for a moment and then asked, "How long does the flight take?"
Kasin gave the answer: "Four hours."
Xiao Peng said helplessly, "I'm sure this is indeed the 'Green Train.' Wait, you said this train was selected as the 'Best Signature Train of Russian Railways in 2004'? Has this train remained unchanged since then?"
Kasin asked back, "Why change? Isn't this good enough? Boss, since we're traveling, don't rush. Learn to appreciate the scenery along the way. That's what you said, right? Slowly driving over there is an experience you haven't experienced before. Didn't you say that this time we'd go out like ordinary tourists? Flying is the way rich people travel, and ordinary tourists, of course, take the train!"
Xiao Peng blinked, trying to confirm whether Kasim was deliberately trying to kill him. It's easier to go from frugality to luxury than from luxury to frugality. After being used to fast travel like airplanes, Xiao Peng felt a little uncomfortable with the idea of her taking the train.
Who made me do this? Okay, get in the car!
As soon as he got on the bus, Xiao Peng's eyebrows twisted into knots: "Holy shit, is there a dead person on this bus?"
