Chapter 421: Wren's Story
Wren and Thiago did not have the same relationship in the past, during the Soviet period, they were still studying together at Lenin University, and became each other's closest confidants and comrades-in-arms, when the Soviet Union planned to invade Afghanistan on a large scale, only to find themselves unfortunate in the quagmire of war concocted by their own high-level leaders.
They fought hard and killed the indigenous inhabitants of Afghanistan, and all kinds of atrocities spread to the mountainous Ilian like a contagious epidemic, and Wren and Thiago were liberal militants, in fact, this was nothing more than a group of young people, shouting empty slogans, but the top leaders of the Soviet Union did not think so, and they and many others were sent into the huge melting pot of the hellish capital, which had the perfect function of revenge and repression.
It was there that Wren spent the most painful three years of his life, praying that he had better not wake up again tomorrow morning before going to sleep, and the Soviet jailers smashed every knuckle with hammers and gave him back, and even he could not remember how many times they beat him, how many times they beat him, how many times they smashed him, but he did not give in.
But Thiago was much luckier than Wren, he quickly passed through the violent machine unscathed, Thiago just used a little trick, and easily got out, there are rumors that Thiago made some deals with the leading officials of the Soviet Union, he has always been very good at making trades, but in addition to trading other people's lives, what bargaining chips does Thiago have to get out of prison?
After the withdrawal of the Soviet Union from Afghanistan, the Soviet empire collapsed overnight, and Thiago became the leader of the separatist side in the Ilian army, and then led the Ilian people against the remnants of the Soviet Union.
However, Wren is very pitiful, he has to face his own messy life, and it is the kind of poor life that he can't face at all, so when Thiago is in the presidential palace to sit back and relax, Wren can't sleep all night, and can only calm down his once restless heart through constant corruption and smoking.
Through the window, Wren saw the glow behind the mountain shining brighter and brighter, another question he feared, what was brewing on the other side of the mountain.
Maybe it's because he was too greedy and didn't care about things before, so people often ignored the existence of Rennes, the prime minister, but after being by his side all the year round, you will understand how terrifying this person is.
Wren is not as good as he looks on the surface, no different from a pig's head, but he is very smart, but not bold enough, and not active enough, when he really reflects, it is time for us to have a headache, this is Liu Zhan's evaluation of Wren, and said it in front of Mary.
In recent months, there has been a marked increase in the number of people coming to Ilian to invest in tourism, and most of them are from big countries like Huaxia, so Thiago's ZF has been working hard to develop the tourism industry because tourists can bring in very important foreign exchange earnings.
In Wren's view, there were too many climbers, not tourists looking at new markets, nor backpackers in need of spiritual salvation and cheap drugs, these foreigners were businessmen with a mining background, who used the excuse that the Soviets dumped a lot of reflective garbage from the visitors, and loved to circle the old mines all day long, completely ignoring other Illian developments.
Some fearful observers believe that the radioactive material inside the mine would cause devastating damage to the ecology, and that the amount of rad rattgen emitted would be equivalent to the catastrophic consequences of a nuclear power plant leak.
As a result, the nosy United Nations and the European Union were the first to sit still, investing in an international coalition that would empower foreign companies to manage and tackle Illian's radioactive waste.
In fact, these projects are just taking off their pants and farting, and the large amount of aid promised by the West ends up in the pockets of those foreign companies, and for God's sake, how much can a scoundrel like Corleone know about nuclear waste?
No, Liu Zhan can't just end his performance, he must have other ulterior secrets.
Although Wren's bones all over his body are now in terrible pain, he can still smell that there must be a conspiracy behind it.
The perennial presidency has made Thiago start to be stupid, and Wren has become more and more shrewd, even the generals have commented on it.
Jasa Gao's words must be believed, but that idiot is also innocent, but Liu Zhan's performance is not limited to a few fireworks at the entrance of the presidential palace and it will end, the last black prison and Hell Island have proved that Liu Zhan can easily enter the presidential palace and complete anything he wants.
Foreigners have always brought only death and despair, and piles of radioactive garbage like mountains, Wren finally got rid of the general's side, giving Illian a chance to prove himself, and when the general's dream finally came true, then it was time for Illian to sit on the same stage with those complacent bigwigs.
These garbage, as soon as they came to the territory of Ilian, they began to point fingers, it is not good there, it is not good here, there are still childish human rights, and there are still people who will try to save a person who will not even let go of the president's wife, Cindy wants to pat his ass and leave, don't even think about it, this person, don't think that with Liu Zhan here, you can leave easily, if you can, it is best for the two bastards to stay here forever.
May God be gracious!
Wren's hands were about to die of pain, and what he never expected was that even if it hurt like this, he would still be able to pick up a cigarette.
So he started to light a cigarette again, and sat in the bathtub, Wren couldn't help but laugh at himself and shook his head, there were still too many things for him to deal with, and it was not enough for Thiago and the generals alone, it was time for him to go into battle and show his might.
Let's start by solving foreigners, well, at least, it is one that can solve one.
Mary forced herself to slow down, she got off the plane and walked towards the VIP lounge, no one came to stop her, no security officers said she had gone wrong, no one in a crisp suit asked to see her passport, they all went about other things.
The other side of the airport's glass wall began to get busy, Chen Ke, waiting for a flight to the Middle East, was queuing up to check his hand luggage, a grandmother with a local style Xiuhua headscarf was arguing with the airport officials, her oversized tote bag was bulging, revealing the thick flatbread inside, God, could a country like the Middle East have no bread? The cautious customs officer tore a small piece of bread from the flatbread, fearing that something would be hidden inside, and the old lady shouted to stop him, and tears of urgency were about to fall, and no one noticed Mary.
When they entered the VIP room to rest, the escort unlocked the door, knowing that the door was not locked yet, Mary opened the door of the VIP room very slowly, worried that the staff inside would scold her.
There was no one in the lounge now, and she hurried through the lounge and into the airport hall through another door.
No one cast suspicious glances at her, and all the crowd in the hall was busy with their own business, preparing their tickets, checking their luggage, yelling at unruly children, taking care of their elderly parents, and keeping an eye on the news.
The passengers sitting in the waiting room were all staring at the previous ice hockey game on TV, which was the Russian league, and it seemed that Russia's deterrent power to Illian should not be underestimated.
Mary was halfway there, when she suddenly stopped, and her heart was alarmed, because just a few yards away, a security officer wearing a big flat hat and holding an AK47 in his hand was talking to an airport official, who had just said goodbye to Mary a few minutes earlier, as soon as she turned around, Mary would definitely be recognized, fortunately, she did not look back, and Mary was so frightened that she hurried forward.
Push open the spring doors of the airport hall and greet the morning light of Illion.
The power of the presidential palace was restored, the only light bulb in the cell was lit, Liu Zhan's eyes slowly adapted to the dim light here, he was already a master of night fighting, let alone here, he looked around, this cell was no more than ten square meters, the walls and floors were made of rough stone, much older than the presidential palace during the Soviet period upstairs, obviously not because of Thiago's private pleasures.
There were no windows in the cell, except for a small vent in the ceiling, presumably connected to a rudimentary ventilation system that didn't do much.
The vents are sealed, but even if they don't, it's fine, because no one has been able to get into such a small place.
Liu Zhan guessed that this place should have been a cellar, the basement was unusually cold and damp, the walls were crawling with moss, and every place felt slimy when touched.
There was no furniture in the cell, except for a simple wooden bed a few meters from the door, on which was covered a thin straw mat full of insects and rats, and the dirt was no longer recognizable.
In addition, there is a toilet in the far corner, in addition to these, there is only a table lamp above the head, the cell is filled with a strong stench, Liu Zhan can't hide, close his eyes, the stench also drills into his nose.
