"Look at this sea view room. Why can't the windows of our Morocco head office be opened?" Xu Chuan looked at the ancient and majestic stone building in front of him and despised his own vision more and more.
"Boss, my Lord Mayor, this is a castle."
"What's wrong with the castle? If it wasn't for the war, how could that guy live here?" The mayor is basically the spokesperson selected by many forces, commonly known as the comprador. His main job is to sell what he can sell as quickly as possible.
.
For example, the operating rights of the Benghazi port were sold to HCLI at an outrageous price.
Many people have already arrived at the scene, but the highlight of today is definitely the American Race Stevens. Of course, the important people will be the last to arrive.
The venue of this banquet is in the courtyard of this old castle. The venue is large and can accommodate two to three hundred people without any problem.
Libiya prohibits alcohol, and the drinks provided on site are tea and coffee, as well as some local fruits and snacks.
The mayor was wearing a suit and was chatting with some guests. Occasionally, there was a burst of laughter from the crowd.
Xu Chuan didn't understand what they were so happy about. He wrote about Yadong. The two major forces in the west are gearing up to prepare for the whole big job. Hundreds of armed organizations are not stopping for a day. Valuable industries are controlled by Western capital.
, seeing that a new round of civil war is about to begin.
Well, in fact, Umbrella was also the one who sucked blood from Libiya, so no one should tell anyone else.
Therefore, Xu Chuan still likes this mayor. After all, as long as he gives money, he will really do things for him.
At 11:30 in the morning, Stevens's motorcade finally arrived. The mayor took the lead to greet him, followed by his family. Everyone had smiles on their faces, and there were a few children holding glasses in their hands.
There are bouquets of flowers, and there are also people holding paper and pen, which are ready for signatures.
Stevens held out his hand and shook it, while the mayor introduced his family members.
These guests also gathered around, but most of them were stopped by the security guards and were not allowed to get close. This was only a few decades ago when Stevens was a governor.
Stevens greeted some locals warmly, and then suddenly dozens of reporters with cameras and video cameras poured in from the side door. The mayor was determined to promote the banquet as a symbol of the Liberia Communist Party.
Honor... is not a symbol of friendship between America and the United States.
Several GRS members watched all this nervously. This was different from the previous plan.
"Which bastard let them in?", a curse came from the GRS team members' headphones.
None of these people were included in the plan, and they definitely did not pass the background check. If an extreme one sneaks in, who knows if they are wearing explosive vests.
Stevens's assistant was also sweating, because the specific itinerary was drawn up by him and Lipia, and the other party obviously influenced him.
If something goes wrong, I won't be able to live with it, but the situation is already like this, and we can't kick out the media people.
Afterwards, Stevens stood in front of the flags of Lithuania and the United States, preparing to start his first speech of the day. A group of reporters squatted in the front row and lit up a flashbulb.
Xu Chuan was standing in the corner eating dates. To be honest, they tasted good. The buildings here were all made of stone and were all natural shelters.
Curtis walked back and checked the surrounding environment. Safety cannot be left in the hands of outsiders.
"All the rich people live around here. The National Army is responsible for the security of the perimeter, and a battalion of troops is stationed there." Curtis picked up a cup from the waiter's tray, took a sip and found that it was tea.
The head vomited out.
"There are also armed personnel in this old castle. I think it's the PMC hired by the mayor." Curtis had already explored the place almost in a short time. Of course, he would not be able to enter the inner house.
It's not a big problem. He is undoubtedly a smart man to be the mayor in such a chaotic Benghazi. There is no way he would let Stevens die here.
Xu Chuan looked at the GRSs next to Stevens. They turned out to be the victims whose car was robbed by him in the market yesterday.
Hiss, this will not be recognized, he stretched out his hand to support the side of his face.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
"I saw the owner of that off-road vehicle." Xu Chuan said vaguely through clenched teeth.
Curtis glanced at the bearded men standing around Stevens and almost burst out laughing, "You can't let them see your face, can you?"
"I'm wearing a headscarf, yes, so what am I afraid of?" Xu Chuan reacted and immediately started to murmur.
GRS's Jack Silva immediately noticed this guy standing in the corner who was out of tune with the people at the scene. He frowned and thought this guy seemed a bit strange.
However, he did not associate Xu Chuan with the person who stole the car yesterday. After all, he subconsciously believed that the person was a local and could not be an Asian.
And the situation at the scene has taken up most of his energy.
"America is here for you," Stevens' words made everyone below cheer and applaud.
"Congress has approved a loan package for the reconstruction of Libija, and many other countries are preparing loans, especially Turkey, which is full of enthusiasm for reconstruction work."
If you don't say shameless, you have to be an American emperor to talk about sharing the cake in such a refreshing and refined way.
After the speech, there was a formal banquet, a buffet style, with both Western-style catering and local specialties. The specifications were quite good.
Stevens took the cup, and as the mayor greeted each guest present, the mayor would certainly not forget Umbrella. People from this company rarely attended such banquets, and this time they actually had someone
It's really a rare thing to come here.
Umbrella's influence in the western oil-producing area of Libi Ya is not small. Of course, the interest groups in Benghazi cannot ignore each other. There should still be people who remember the National Army, which is currently able to compete with the legitimate government in Tripoli.
Many years ago, I was severely beaten by the other party.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The behavior of this company is very different from others. It is the kind of company that usually looks very reserved and maintains smooth relations with all parties, but when you really provoke
After them, well, everyone who offended them was stood on the side of the road.
Over time, everyone understood the implication of Umbrella's words. Their focus was on the transportation line from Ojra to Ajdabiya and then to Benghazi. As long as no one touched their core interests, Umbrella would never
Will actively seek trouble.
Therefore, most of the armed groups with some experience now know to go around this road, and they will provide convenience to trucks holding Umbrella passes. The red and white umbrella logo has become a household name in Benghazi.
picture of.
Moreover, they have a cooperative relationship with the Durant family in France and the Hekmadia family in Italy, which makes Libija officials unable to ignore their existence.
However, when Stevens saw Xu Chuan, his jaw almost dropped. As a foreigner, he couldn't recognize the boss of UC Technology.
"Umbrella Corporation, UC Technology." Stevens whispered, and then stretched out his hand to Xu Chuan, "Mr. Grylls, it is really surprising that you are here."
Xu Chuan also extended his hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Stevens." He still felt that it was a pity that he did not bring a gas mask to the other party.
Mr. Mayor had a flash of doubt, but this was definitely not the time to ask. It was the first time today that he knew that Umbrella's boss was an Asian.
"Umbrella has made great efforts for the peace and economic recovery of Libija..." The mayor said beautiful words on the side, and it turned out that he was from within the system, and if he said it well, it would sound nice.
Stevens felt that this discovery alone was worth the trip today.
In fact, he didn't know that Xu Chuan's identity was not confidential, and many of his superiors knew it.
"Mr. Grylls, let's talk again when we have the opportunity. By the way, I am a fan of Ms. Sheila." In Stevens's mind, Umbrella's value has increased several levels.
Xu Chuan smiled and agreed, okay, let's see if you can escape first.
Although there were not many people at the banquet, Stevens couldn't chat with him all the time. There were other people who needed to connect emotionally.
Two hours later, the banquet was officially over.
Xu Chuan sat in the car and drove along the coastal road towards the hotel. The traffic arteries in the entire area were guarded by the National Army. The environment here did not look like Libiya after the war. It looked like a
A paradise.
After the car drove out, it seemed that we had entered the real world again. Ragged cars began to appear on the crowded highways, and civilians walking and hawkers began to appear on the streets.
A few people gathered near the National Army checkpoint. If Xu Chuan remembered correctly, these people were here when they arrived, and their behavior was very suspicious.
However, these people turned a blind eye to his car and seemed not to be targeting him.
Xu Chuan shook his head. The situation here was very chaotic and complex. It was difficult for these people to tell who was doing what and who was following whom? But he had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.
The car quickly drove back to the hotel where Xu Chuan was staying. This was one of the few hotels that was not destroyed during the war.
"Boss, someone seems to be watching our people over there in Nansudan."
The news just came back today that Umbrella's business personnel have already established a line with the Minister of Energy of Nansudan. How did they get in touch? Of course, they paid for it.
However, the accompanying security personnel discovered that someone was following them and reported the situation back.
"How many people are there?" Xu Chuan asked.
"The situation over there is even more chaotic than here. We have two teams over there."
"The people they asked to capture alive are probably Gogol's people." Xu Chuan decided. If so, it means that they have attracted the attention of Ali Taseloff, which will just show his side.
strength.
"Okay, the people leading the team are former Yemeni special forces. Masuku trained them step by step. It's not a big problem to catch someone."
…
People from the Bijanusra Front had been keeping an eye on the National Army checkpoint, and after Stevens' convoy came out, some people followed it.
Two dilapidated cars followed the convoy one behind the other, not very professionally.
The GRS team members following behind easily discovered the two suspicious cars. "Captain, we are in trouble." They used the walkie-talkie to contact Ron at the front.
Ron was driving the car at the front, and when he heard the report from his teammates, he glanced in the rearview mirror, "Tanto blocked them, and the others speeded up. Bob said, don't take the initiative to attack unless they shoot at you."
"
Putting down the walkie-talkie, Ron stepped on the accelerator of the Land Rover Defender and accelerated.
Jack Silva, who was sitting in the passenger seat, unbuckled his seat belt and climbed into the back seat, picked up a MK18 MOD0, set the speed switch to semi-automatic and put his finger on the trigger guard.
"Be sure not to shoot first." Ron turned around and warned again. They were temporary workers who would be fired if there was a problem. No one wanted to lose this high-paying job.
Jack agreed, and the speed of the convoy began to increase, but the last car began to slow down.
Although it was a two-way carriageway, due to Tanto's skillful driving skills, the two cars following had no chance of passing him.
After the other party tried to overtake several times and found that it could not achieve its goal, it seemed that it did not want to force it. It slowly reduced its speed and disappeared in the rearview mirror.
This made the two GRS team members in the car a little disappointed. They had been here for several months and were very tightly controlled by the stationmaster Bob. They all hoped that someone with a short-sighted attitude would attack them first and let them vent.
.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You cowards." Tanto pulled down the window and shouted, extending a middle finger towards the back.
This journey was not that far, after all, Benghazi as a whole was not that big either. After those who were following him gave up, Ron did not slow down, and the time it took to return to Stevens' diplomatic residence was shortened by 20% compared to when he went there.
.
Stevens was really relieved when he got off the car, but what happened on the road made him really nervous for a while.
"Thank you very much, gentlemen." Stevens walked into the house. At least this reinforced concrete building could bring him a lot of security.
Ron followed in, "Mr. Daxi, do you have anything else to do tomorrow?"
Stevens glanced at his assistant, who took out a PDA and checked on it, "I have no schedule tomorrow, but I have a video conference with Washington."
Ron smiled politely, it was great, they finally no longer needed to be babysitters for the people in front of them.
After coming out of the house, several people gathered in the security staff's lounge. The conditions here were quite good, much better than that of the intelligence station. Not only did they have game consoles, they even had hookahs to smoke.
The four agents of the Diplomatic Security Bureau are very disorganized and only focus on security work.
Ron felt it was very necessary to remind these guys, "Hey, there are so many armed organizations here, weapons are everywhere, and they are familiar with the local situation. If they really attack here, you will be in trouble."
Although these people knew that Ron was right, they were limited by their manpower. In addition, the last security assessment pointed out that there was no possibility of an attack in Benghazi, so they did not care much about Ron's statement.
Of course Ron said that, after all, he was just here to help, but in the end he said, "If you need anything, you can call us on the radio."
The four of them were certainly grateful for Ron's kindness.
…
On the other hand, Alex sneaked into the hotel where Xu Chuan was staying. She sneaked into the mayor's mansion today, and of course she found Xu Chuan attending the banquet. She followed him directly after it was over.
