Chapter 1069: Visit
In the vast grasslands of central Africa, the withered yellow bushes grow arbitrarily, stretching, as far as the eye can see, swaying with the wind, there is no special interest, occasionally a few wild beasts pass by, vigilantly look around, and soon run away, a big bird flew into the sky, screamed, and disappeared.
A gray eagle rabbit came out of the root of a dead old tree, looked around for a while, suddenly heard some dangerous noise, and quickly burrowed into the grass again, and after a while, a team of horses galloped from the skyline, and at a rapid speed.
Ril, lil! The leader suddenly grabbed the reins, and the steed man stood up, and the leader had a hint of surprise on his resolute face, and turned the horse's head and said loudly to the people who came behind him: "Master of the door, you will reach your destination by turning over the hill in front, it is lunch time, do you want to continue walking?" ”
It was really Zao Wou-Ki and his entourage, after deciding on the way to break the situation five days ago, Zao Wou-Ki made an appointment with the great elder of the Hundred Clans Council of Elders on the phone, and made an appointment to meet at the time and place, and finally arrived as scheduled today, Zao Wou-Ki looked at the hill in front of him, and also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Well, go forward." ”
The leader was Cheng Gang, who heard Zao Wou-ki's order, without saying a word, and continued to move forward, Zao Wou-Ki said to the pan Fu and Tang Li beside him: "How about it, can you still withstand it?" ”
"It's already much better than the first day, it's fine." Pan Fu smiled bitterly, the first time I rode a horse, I really didn't fit in, my whole body was turned upside down as if I had scattered my skeleton, the second day was much better, and on the third day, I was basically used to riding a horse, and the next two days were better, and Tang Li's situation was similar.
On this trip, in order to avoid exposure, Zao Wou-Ki only brought three people, the target was small, and they were all martial arts masters, even if there was any accident, they could escape, everyone beat their horses and continued to move forward, and the wind generally blew towards the front.
After turning over the hill that is not high, a tribal group appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the rooms are made of mud and stone, wood, dry grass, bark and other materials, all of them are only one story high, next to each other, but also magnificent, the room is full of cooking smoke, it should be someone making lunch, outside the tribe is a herd of sheep and other livestock, children are grazing, seeing strangers coming, there is no fear, only curiosity, and there are people to report inside.
Zhao Wuji didn't intend to hide his whereabouts, he waited patiently at a distance of five or six hundred meters from the tribe, and after five minutes, there was a commotion in the tribe, and a large number of people came out, the leader was the great elder of the Hundred Clans Conference, and the rest were all young and strong men.
This tribe is the hometown of the Great Elder, and seeing that the Great Elder came out to greet him in person, Zhao Wuji did not dare to support him, so he immediately dismounted and led the horses up, and Cheng Gang and the others also did the same, in order to show respect.
"Great Elder, I am really grateful that you came to greet you in person." Zhao Wuji said politely.
"Distinguished guests from afar, I should come out to greet the arrival of the president." The Great Elder said enthusiastically, and the two of them opened their arms and hugged each other warmly, gently patting each other's shoulders as a sign of respect.
"Please." The Great Elder took Zao Wou-Ki's hand and walked inside. The tribesmen who came out together spontaneously moved out of the way, smiling warmly to show their welcome.
Everyone came to a large wooden house, the foundation of the wooden house was made of stones, other than that, it was all made of wood, and there was no furniture in the room, it seemed a little deserted, the great elder said with a smile: "This is where I live, it is a little simple, and it is lazy. As he spoke, he took a few rattan mats and handed them to everyone, took one himself, and sat up on the floor in the hall.
Zhao Wou-Ki casually took a large number of them, a bit like the stilted building of Huaxia Kingdom, two guest rooms, the door was closed, and the things in the hall were clear at a glance, which was very bitter, which did not match the identity of the Great Elder at all, but this was a personal matter, and Zao Wou-Ki would not ask stupidly.
"The president has come thousands of miles to find it, is there anything tricky, let's hear it, as long as I, an old man, can help, I will definitely come forward." The Great Elder went straight to the point and said.
Zao Wou-Ki also didn't like to twist and turn, so he said sincerely: "There is indeed something that needs the assistance of the Great Elder, this is the case, Soma is ready to hold a global investment conference, including three contents, one is to hold an international economic and trade cooperation conference, and intends to invite heads of state to participate, especially the African Union, China and Saudi Arabia have agreed to participate, this time I hope to get your support and persuade the African Union countries to participate; Second, to hold an economic and trade fair, the investment projects of various countries can be displayed at this conference, China intends to purchase 5 billion meters of gold goods at this conference, and will also release some investment projects; In addition, a carnival of African cultural characteristics will be held to attract tourists from all over the world. ”
When the Great Elder heard this, he couldn't help but ponder, and his eyes when he looked at Zhao Wouji also became sharp, with the Great Elder's political experience and ability to see through the world, he couldn't think of the real reason why Zhao Wouji did this, of course, he wouldn't say it, and he didn't have to give up.
Seeing the Great Elder contemplative with a solemn face, Zhao Wuji was not in a hurry, and waited quietly, the servant came in to pour tea for everyone, fresh ** milk tea, full of aroma, the most good thing to relieve fatigue, everyone is not welcome, just drink it.
Zao Wou-ki's international economic and trade cooperation conference has many benefits: first, it can enhance the country's reputation and promote local economic development, third, it can enhance national cohesion, and fourth, it can temporarily stop the pace of war in country A and delay the war in country A with 5 billion meters of gold.
Of course, the Great Elder can understand these truths, but this determination is not easy to make, any country has its own core interests, and no one will do this kind of thing if it loses its core interests for other countries, and country A is an economic power for the African Union countries, but also a military power, and it is too late to tie the knot, and it is impossible to offend country A for the sake of a mere Soma country.
"President, your idea is very good, I personally agree with it very much, African brothers are a family, they are not united, how can they not be bullied?" The Great Elder finally spoke, "Is there a situation where the Great President has heard of it?" ”
"What's the situation?" Zao Wou-Ki realized that something was wrong and hurriedly asked.
"A few days ago, the Secretary of State of Country A and the current Chairman of the African Union held a secret meeting to discuss deepening cooperation." The Great Elder paused when he said this, and the Great Elder believed that Zao Wou-Ki could understand the mystery behind him.
Zao Wou-Ki did understand the mystery behind it, the secretary of state of country A took the initiative to deepen cooperation, nothing more than to give the AU some benefits, of course, the purpose is also very clear, Zao Wou-Ki smiled: "I didn't expect that country A has reached out to the AU organization in order to deal with my Soma country, it seems that the AU will not be a vassal organization of country A for a long time." ”
"President, don't be sarcastic about the African Union, this matter has not yet been decided, the current chairman of the African Union has not promised anything in person, but I estimate that it will have a great impact, the attitude of some countries is already changing, weak countries have no diplomacy, and weak organizational structures are the same, but I think you will tell the chairman in person that it will be better, I will arrange it, what do you think?" The Great Elder smiled indifferently, worthy of being an old fox, and his kung fu was first-class.
"Then thank you, Great Elder." Zao Wou-Ki knew that there was little chance of success, but he didn't want to give up, and he knew that this matter really couldn't get around the current chairman of the African Union, so he agreed to it.
"It's a guest from afar, let's eat something first, I'll arrange it as soon as possible." The Great Elder said.
What Zao Wou-Ki didn't expect was that at about five o'clock in the afternoon, the current chairman of the African Union came by helicopter, the Great Elder was in the center, Zao Wou-Ki was on the left, the African Union Duty Chairman was on the right, and everyone else was standing behind them. ”
"Oh, please." The current chairman of the African Union, Tost, immediately said, looking at Zao Wou-Ki with puzzled eyes, not understanding how this unconscious guy got here.
Zao Wou-Ki also rarely went around in circles, directly said the thoughts in his heart, and then looked at the other party.
Naturally, Tost is not fuel-efficient, his political consciousness is very high, and he saw through the real situation behind Zao Wou-Ki's actions at a glance, and he was silent as if the Great Elder first heard the news.
After a while, Tost said unhurriedly: "This proposal is very good, I personally like this proposal very much, if you want to invite senior dignitaries from various countries to participate, you must get in touch with each country in advance, so let's do it, I just have a meeting tomorrow, and the representatives of the African Union countries will return, and I will mention it at the meeting at that time, or you can send someone to attend the meeting to make it clear in person." ”
"Thank you very much, I think it's better for me to say it myself to show my sincerity." Zao Wou-Ki said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll leave with me tomorrow morning in my helicopter." Tost replied.
After talking about the matter, it was inconvenient for the results of the study, so everyone chatted casually, and the most they talked about was the affairs of the Soma country, the Great Elder and Tost expressed their sympathy and greetings, and Zao Wou-Ki thanked them one by one on behalf of the people of the Soma country, and the courtesy was thoughtful.
Early the next morning, everyone took a helicopter to fly to the city where the African Union is located, and arrived in about an hour, and there were armed military police guarding the airport.
Zao Wou-Ki didn't know which city he was in, and he didn't bother to care, just obeyed Tost's arrangement, and rested in the hotel for a while, and the special car arranged by Tost came to greet him, and everyone came to the secret conference room provided by the local government.
At this point, Zao Wou-Ki found that there were many delegates who joined the association, almost every African Union country came, only Zao Wou-Ki did not receive such a notice, perhaps because the AU felt that Soma did not have the strength to become a country, or forgot, but all this is not important, and I don't want to dwell on it.
The delegates who joined the conference did not expect Zao Wou-Ki to come back to participate in this conference, and they were all curious, not to reject Zao Wou-ki, but to feel that there would be a war in Soma at any time, and the lord of a country would not sit in the country, so what would happen if he ran around?
Faintly, everyone felt that something was happening, and this matter had a lot to do with Zao Wou-ki, but they didn't understand it, so they didn't bother to bother, some people came to greet Zao Wou-Ki, expressing their willingness to be stationed in the embassy, of course Zao Wou-Ki would not object, just let them apply through normal channels, don't worry about other problems.
After some conversation, everyone found that Zao Wou-Ki always had a faint confident smile on his face, and he was not frightened by the domestic economic crisis, and everyone secretly admired.
