Chapter 265: Conditions
The Saviyi authorities restrict foreigners from buying real estate in Akwa, but there are always workarounds, such as registering the new home in the name of Garon Tangrian, who has never renounced his Akwa citizenship.
The new residence is a seaside manor covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters, under the tall and straight coconut trees, the lawn is paved to the rugged seaside.
There is no soft sand in the manor, and below the shore is the raging water, constantly beating a puff of droplets.
The three-storey main building is a colonial remnant of the colonial period, with a large amount of stone and a strong European style, like a small European castle standing on the waterfront, and the previous owner also built a three-storey annex with reinforced concrete in a corner of the garden for bodyguards, cooks, drivers and garden workers.
Such a manor house sold for only a million dollars.
However, Cao Mo bought this manor, mainly because the construction area was large enough.
At least the sixteen bodyguards who entered Akwa in the name of the Conero Security Company and the accompanying staff like Zhou Han can be accommodated, and some necessary security equipment can be added according to actual needs.
In terms of geographical location, if there is really any uncontrolled emergency, in addition to avoiding the Chinese Embassy in Afghanistan only one street away to seek help, the water depth on the outer side of the bank in the southwest of the manor is more than three meters, and ships of two or three thousand tons can directly moor over and pick people onto the ship.
It is also very close to the humble six-story building of the headquarters of the Front for the Promotion of Democracy, less than 300 meters away, and along the way, it secretly bought three apartments and two small courtyards, and deployed them as safe houses and observation points.
The car stopped in front of the main building, and Cao Mo saw that Maye Mantal, who got off the car first, was standing on the steps at this moment, and walked over and said: "It was also after I bought this manor that I learned that the former owner, Mr. Cologne, was Miss May's patron in France, and I felt sorry for Mr. Cologne's tragic experience in Akwa, but what we are working together now is not to try to prevent such a tragedy from happening again?"
Mei Yi didn't turn around and ignore Cao Mo, but stood in front of the main building with his back to everyone, and after a while, he walked straight to the main building first.
Zhou Han glanced at Xiao Jun suspiciously, not knowing what the story of this manor was.
She was by Cao Mo's side all day long, and she knew about the existence of this manor for the first time, guessing that Xiao Jun should handle this matter for Cao Mo single-handedly.
Although Cao Mo handed over a lot of things to her during this time, they were all tedious chores, and Cao Mo would personally handle the work emails every day, and she had not had the opportunity to contact them;
"Before the Saviyi government came to power, there were large-scale riots against the descendants of the colonists in Port Peme, the former owner of the estate, his wife and three children who were studying were killed on the way home, he himself shot two rioters who broke into the estate and robbed, and escaped to France, but he himself was convicted of murder by the court in Akwa, and is still on the wanted list of the Saviyi government. Xiao Jun briefly introduced the story he had learned about the manor and its former owner to Zhou Han.
Zhou Han was very suspicious that Cao Mo had no other intention in buying this manor as his temporary lair in Akwa.
Brahm was in a car with Juan Mantal, and at this time he walked to Cao Mo's side and whispered: "When I first entered the manor, Mr. Mantal said that Mr. Cologne's eldest son, who was unfortunately killed that year, was May's lover when he was young, and Maye and Cologne's family
The relationship between the clans is not as simple as receiving financial support during exile in France......"
"I didn't investigate clearly,......" Xiao Jun suddenly knew that his work was negligent, and said regretfully.
Proper reminders and vigilance are beneficial, but they can't be mentally stimulated!
Xiao Jun did not fully investigate the situation, which was indeed a mistake.
“......”
Cao Mo patted Xiao Jun on the shoulder, not feeling that he needed to bear any responsibility for this, and looked up at Mei Yi to look over, and saw that there was grief for memories and anger at them "unscrupulous" in her deep and beautiful eyes.
Cao Mo looked back at Juan Mantal, who was also standing in front of the main building, and saw that his mood was much calmer, and he was more faintly sad about the tragedy that had happened here.
Cao Mo smiled and said in a low voice: "It seems that I am the kind of person who has despicable means, but what does it matter? I am not a person who has to carry the archway on my shoulders and show it everywhere." ”
Cao Mo initially wanted to be a little more relaxed, but after he set the tone, Brahm and Garon Quiglian would talk about the specific content of the cooperation, which might make it easier for the top of the Front for the Promotion of Democracy to accept, but Mantal's father and daughter regarded the invitation to a new home as a warning from his ulterior intentions, so let him be......
............
............
The manor was cleaned up inside and out, and the kitchen lady and other staff were urgently recruited from Longta, and at this time, more than a dozen people wore neat maid skirts and suits and shirts, standing in front of the main building to welcome the arrival of the new owner Cao Mo and a group of guests.
Since Mantal's father and daughter have such a close relationship with the Cologne family, of course, it is impossible to take them to visit the main building and then stimulate them, so everyone walks directly to the back garden.
The long dining table is set on the lawn near the sea, covered with snow-white cloths, filled with flowers, crystal cups, silver cutlery and plates of pure and delicate colors.
Standing on the shore, looking at the raging waves below, some stirred droplets hit the face, bringing a hint of coolness, and a speedboat stopped on the sea not far away, and several armed bodyguards could be seen standing on the deck, vigilantly watching the situation around them.
The emotions of Mantal's father and daughter have not yet been put out from the memories of the old events, but the three people who participated in this meeting with Mantal's father and daughter were obviously still shocked by the scene posed by Cao Mo.
Sitting down, Cao Mo no longer hid it, and said bluntly:
"After Saweiyi's commitment to political change in the international community, the Independent Freedom Front was formed. It is clear that Saweiyi believed that he would be elected as the first democratically elected president of Akwa in the promised democratic elections, and that he finally agreed to reconcile with Western society. Also, although Saiweiyi is not from a high background, his only wife is from the Akan nobles, and since the coup, the Akon has always been his strongest supporter, and Saiweiyi has been the supreme leader of Akwa for more than ten years, and has actually ruled the country from all levels, including military and politics, and has resources that are far beyond the reach of all competitors, and the voices that support and love him every day - he can't help but be confident! Of course, we can also see that there are too many military leaders who misjudged the situation on this continent and caused it to overturn, not to mention Uffobonia and other deadly hidden dangers that have not yet been exposed, buried like landmines around Saweiyi. However, even so, none of us can deny that Saweiyi still has the best chance of winning against Akwa's future......"
Forced by the situation, with the current one
The cooperation of Chinese investors of unknown origin, Mei Yi felt that it was already her bottom line, but she didn't expect that this Chinese investor would unceremoniously point fingers and ask them to cooperate with Sai Weiyi, who has oppressed and brutalized them all these years?
Halfway through listening to Cao Mo's words, Mei Yi asked uncontrollably: "Do you know how many of our brothers and sisters have been oppressed and brutalized by Saiweiyi over the years, didn't you suggest that we go to Saiweiyi to cooperate?"
Cao Mo couldn't help but pat her head, why is this chick still so naïve and paranoid?
Since it is politics, how can there be so much right and wrong?
He picked up the crystal pot, poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and said slowly:
"People always have to look forward, Miss May, if you don't want to look forward, you must go over the old accounts, then are the Akan and Kanwa also qualified to settle the bloody history of enslavement and exploitation of this land since the middle of the sixteenth century? Could it be that you will continue to hate and kill each other with the Akon and Kanwa in this land, until one of them is completely expelled and exterminated? If so, Miss May, which side do you think the final victory will belong to?"
Although Juan Mantar himself has long been an advocate of reconciliation with the authorities, his ideas have not been fully accepted within the Front pour la démocratie (FDD).
Cao Mo's request to them now is not that they just want to reconcile with the Saweiyi authorities, but that they go one step further and directly throw an olive branch to the Independent Freedom Front led by Saweiyi and cooperate closely......
Mei Yi would not be persuaded by Hui Cao Mo in a few words, and continued to question aggressively:
"I'm afraid you're thinking that the Front for the Promotion of Democracy will take refuge in the past and help Saiweiyi thwart the military coup plot secretly planned by Ufu Bonia and others, so that we don't have to wait for the people to be elected, so that we can get a place in the civilian government led by Saiweiyi, so that we can fulfill the promise of your interests as quickly as possible?"
"I don't deny that this is what I have in mind, but I would like to ask Miss May, what harm does this do to the Front for the Promotion of Democracy and to the descendants of the colonists you represent?" Cao Mo calmly looked at Mey Mantal, who thought he had seen through his thoughts, and asked, "If Uffbonia really wants to provoke the Akan people again, The hatred of the Kanwa tribe for you, apart from the Syviyi authorities, does Miss May really think that by funding you with one or two million dollars in security funds, I will be able to quell the tide and prevent the six or seven hundred thousand descendants of the colonists of Akwa from being persecuted and mutilated again? Miss May, don't you be aggressive, don't always think that I should be ashamed of my legitimate interest claims— I have chosen to work with you, and I recommend that you take such action simply and neatly, and I believe that it is in the best interests of both of us to do so. If Miss May can't figure it out, we can give you three days to think about it, and I'll be here waiting for you to come over at this time in three days, and after that time, then ......"
"There is no need to wait until three days later, since we have accepted Mr. Cao's funding, we will not ignore your suggestions,"
Juan Mantar took a long breath, and when he saw that his daughter Maye Mantal was still arguing, he stopped her and said,
"If Uffy Bonia really wants to do anything against us, he will not come forward directly, as long as he sows discord in front of Safeyi - the current situation leaves no other choice, and cooperating with the Safeyi authorities to thwart the plot of Uffy Bonia is the only choice for the six or seven hundred thousand brothers and sisters to avoid being persecuted and mutilated again......
