Chapter 270: Uninteresting
Jonas never had the idea of retracting Kane, and such a weapon would be more deterrent in the chaos of Africa.
He is just selling a good one now, and he can borrow this power in the future.
In his mind, the most suitable bodyguard is still a retired Mossad Arrow agent.
The members of the Arrow Action Team can be said to be the most top-notch fighters in the world, neither the CIA nor the KGB can compare.
Because other people are more powerful than the organization, but they have the most professional qualities.
Even Big Ivan thinks that the members of the Arrow Squad are a bunch of perverts.
Each of them must be Jewish, have served in the IDF, have an overseas background, and be fluent in English and several European languages.
Those are just the basics, after which everyone must undergo six months of psychological testing and background checks, and all friends made after the age of 10 must be questioned.
Psychological testing includes almost all of the torture on the psychological level, so that everyone has the most stable psychological condition.
Then, there is professional training, where each person undergoes special training according to different characteristics. Stalking, eavesdropping, fighting, flying planes, and "operating" your own fake identity and a host of other espionage skills.
Another important reason why Jonas values them is that they are proficient in computers and electronic devices.
Since '78, the Mossad has introduced computer technology training, and in the era before the Internet, computer technology training was carried out, so to speak, no institution has been ahead of them.
All the electronic devices around Richie, including the electronic security at home, are all the responsibility of the Mossad.
In the use of electronic equipment and defense, including computers, neither the CIA nor the KGB are far behind.
To date, no spy has been able to obtain information on Richie's side.
Such a person is the most suitable person to be a bodyguard.
However, due to the peculiarities of the Mossad, Jonas can ask them to help arrange security, but it is difficult for them to work for it.
However, the future is not without opportunities, and it is not in the near future.
In his previous life, he had read the news about the Mossad and knew that the Mossad had suffered its biggest crisis in the late eighties, because political differences led to divisions.
A large number of Mossad members quit espionage, and Richie's later head of security, Horel, was the Mossad's former deputy chief.
Therefore, with a loyal bodyguard like Plov, it is enough to recruit a member of the Arrow Action Team to form a bodyguard team in the future.
Kane, a warrior like them, is not suitable to be a bodyguard.
Although he is not a professional in oil, he has been exposed to a lot of oil business over the years, and he has a very good understanding of the current situation of the African oil industry, and can be called half an expert.
What Jonas just lacks is experience in this area.
When he came to Africa in his previous life, it was already the 21st century, and at that time, many countries had changed regimes several times, and the situation was already different.
He was very familiar with the relevant technologies and procedures of oil extraction in his previous life, and now he can also use his own reading books as a name to show others that he is not a pure layman in the oil industry.
However, the understanding of Africa and the experience of dealing with things in different positions still need to be re-learned.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the bus that came to greet them stopped in front of the hotel.
The first thing you pass from the peninsula to the city is the Fort of San Miguel, built by the Portuguese, an area where there are no ordinary residents and there is no need to worry about removing a single cannonball from a private house.
Less than 500 meters southeast along the road is the Government Palace. It is a Soviet-style palace-like building, known as the Government Palace.
It is the only two buildings that are guarded by guards, and the rest of the ministries, including the mayor's building, are freely accessible to the public.
Jonas had changed back to a long-sleeved shirt and trousers and leather shoes, because the temperature at this time of year had dropped below 30 degrees Celsius by the sea, which was bearable.
President Santos, dressed in a dark green military uniform, stood at the front of the crowd. When the bus carrying Jonas stopped and waited for Jonas to get off, he expressed his excitement with an intimate hug.
Jonas knew that Santos was using this to convey that he and Jonas were not only business partners, but also had personal affection.
Although his heart was a little crooked, Jonas still responded to his intimacy with a happy smile.
Except for a few who knew Jonas, most of the others, including the guards, couldn't help but be a little surprised to see that the delegation was headed by a young man.
There is no electricity in the country, there is no television, and the only appliances that people have access to are radios and flashlights. That's why they were so surprised to see Jonas.
The crowd at the entrance of the government palace was divided into three parties, one was the welcoming crowd of Angolan countries, including Lombhala, whom Jonas had seen in the afternoon.
On the other side, slightly less, were guests from the Soviet Union, and then Jonas and his party.
After more than ten minutes of introduction, after greeting each other, the three parties entered the wing of the government palace together to participate in the evening banquet.
In the banquet hall, there are three zigzag tables, which are piled up with a variety of foods, mostly seafood.
All the guests sit on the periphery of the table, and the service staff stands inside, and whatever food they want, the service staff will bring it and break it down.
Jonas sat at the front of the first table near the podium, to the right of Santos, and to his left was a minister from the Soviet Union.
First of all, President Santos came to the stage to give a welcome speech, he understands Russian and Portuguese, and today's banquet is also mainly in Portuguese, and Jonas did not understand a word of what was said.
He noticed that the minister opposite him was the same. However, since it is a state banquet, Portuguese is Chinese, and it is normal to use Portuguese.
The Portuguese translator brought by Jonas translated sentence by sentence, which is nothing more than a cliché, welcoming the Soviet guests, welcoming the Swiss guests, and then the unity of all ethnic groups in the country to work hard for the development of the country.
Santos was born in the military, and although the tone of his speech was sonorous, the essence of the art of speech should not be mastered well.
This can be seen from the translator's expression.
The guests of the USSR also took the stage later, in Russian. This time, Santos, who was sitting next to Jonas, offered to translate for Jonas.
Even his performance was not dignified by the president, and he often whispered to Jonas, which was shown to others.
Jonas also cooperated with him perfectly, and just because he had been president for thirty-eight years, Jonas would make him feel like he would follow him closely.
It was Jonas's turn to take the stage, and instead of speaking in German, Jonas spoke in English, where the audience was larger.
In his speech, he spoke highly of Santos's achievements and his determination to develop the economy, and described his relationship with Santos as "unbreakable".
In the end, Jonas of course wants to spend some money to buy some good, donating two million US dollars to help Angola build a power plant that will be able to electrify the people with the country's power lines when the hydropower station is repaired.
All kinds of large-scale cooperation have never been negotiated on such occasions.
Throughout the various important decisions, they are not negotiated at formal banquets.
This is an occasion for communication and understanding, and the most important thing for the participants is an attitude issue.
Jonas's words sparked applause from the audience, a wire factory of its own, which in the original history has been a dream until the 21st century.
Jonas came here in 2006 and there are a lot of factories here, but there is no wire factory, and the wires have to be imported from neighboring countries.
These two million are just lip service, and if it were a small wire factory, it would not even cost a million dollars.
The dinner was boring, with Santos on the left, the Soviets on the other, and the Angols on the right, so they could only bury their heads in eating.
The voltage in the government palace is still stable, and the fans are turning very fast, but there are too many people, and the banquet hall is still very stuffy.
After dinner, because there were so many people, I didn't even prepare for the dance, so I went back to my own house.
However, when it came time to see Jonas off, President Santos invited Jonas to the government palace tomorrow night as a guest in order to express his personal friendship.
It was a private banquet with much smaller people, and Santos told Jonas that he had called Isabella back from Switzerland as a sign of his attention.
Isabella is an alumnus of Jonas, a junior, and has a good relationship with Jonas before.
However, because Santos and Isabella's Georgian mother have divorced, she and her mother now live in Portugal in order to protect Isabella.
When he was young, Santos went to study petroleum engineering at the Azerbaijan Institute of Petrochemical Engineering in the Soviet Union.
After graduation, he remained in the USSR and received military training in the field of communications and radar.
Upon his return, he immediately threw himself into the liberation movement, until Angola gained independence in 75 years and became president from vice-chancellor.
Before becoming president, he divorced the Georgian wife of a Soviet national, and married an Angolan woman.
Through the exchange of interests, Santos also bought several properties for their mother and daughter in Portugal, and many people did not know that Santos also had a foreign wife and daughter.
Jonas happily accepted the invitation, of course, and establishing a close personal relationship with Santos is very important for his future development in the country.
It is not possible to maintain a close relationship for a long time by relying on interests alone.
Back at the hotel, they all looked exhausted. In particular, Mikiros and Erwin, although they brought six administrative staff to serve the delegation, but today was tossed for a day, and they worked the hardest.
"Jonas, do you still have homework tonight?"
Jonas shook his head. "I'll look at the terms of tomorrow's negotiations, you and Mikiros go and rest. ”
Mikiros asked, "The hotel has a special mosquito repellent service staff, do you need to arrange someone to help you fan and repel mosquitoes?"
And such a service!
Jonas was moved for a moment but refused. "Forget it, there are too many confidential materials in my room, don't let outsiders in. ”
