Chapter 589: There are two children next to the lion

More than a dozen military open-top off-road vehicles drove into the savannah from the direction of the city of Nyala.

After Francis and Baker returned to the only four-star hotel in Nyala from the Arrow Wolf mercenary base, they urgently contacted China and reported Major General Wang Yi's attitude to China, while waiting for the latest instructions from China.

At this time, they also knew the content of the press conference held by Admiral Chen Yuxing in China. They scoffed at Chen Yuxing's statement, which was simply nonsense, and whoever believed it would be fooled.

Take the Arrow Wolf Mercenaries, for example, when they were founded in Eritrea, they relied on the famous and extremely valuable "prebiotics" to open up the situation, and without these special drugs, the Eritrean government would not have been able to allow this organization to exist in their territory.

Chen Yuxing's vague and denial of the relationship between the Arrow Wolf mercenaries and the "Star Group" is just a way to cover up, and it can only deceive the ignorant people in a vain attempt to block the mouths of world public opinion.

Francis and Baker, who are senior politicians, don't believe Chen Yuxing's nonsense at all, they believe in strength, and it is precisely Chen Yuxing who has this strength, and the arrow wolf mercenaries also have this strength, so they can only bow their heads and admit Chen Yuxing's statement.

But admitting it does not mean believing Chen Yuxing's mediation, they believe that Chen Yuxing is the protagonist of their negotiations. And the Arrow Wolf mercenary is just Chen Yuxing or Huaguo's puppet.

[The next morning, both received the latest instructions from the country.]

The US government demanded that Francis buy as much time for the development of the United States as possible, and agreed to a ceasefire condition for the Arrow Wolf mercenaries without affecting the most fundamental interests of the United States. and also made it clear to him that Chen Yuxing was the protagonist of this negotiation, which is very consistent with Francis's self-judgment.

The Commonwealth government did not have as much of a complicated mind as the United States, and they instructed Baker to make every effort to reach a ceasefire between the two sides. At the same time, he sought all-round cooperation with the Arrow Wolf mercenaries and the Chinese government, and authorized Baker to hold secret talks with Chen Yuxing. Using a full withdrawal from "NATO" as a bargaining chip, it has established strategic alliances with China and South Sudan. Tie the interests of the Commonwealth with those of China and South Sudan to seek the most practical interests for the Commonwealth.

Baker knew in his heart that this was the Commonwealth government that was going to completely turn its back on the United States and move closer to China and the Arrow Wolf mercenaries.

At noon, Francis invited Baker to visit the African savannah with him, and Baker gladly accepted. As a diplomat, he knew that Francis was looking for an opportunity to ask the attitude of the Commonwealth government, and Baker didn't want to ask Francis about the attitude of the United States government.

Escorted by a police force sent by the South Sudanese government, two distant-looking men headed for the savannah southwest of Nyala in a dozen off-road vehicles.

Francis and Baker sat in the same car.

Francis took two top-of-the-line Cuban cigars from his leather bag and handed one to Baker, who smiled unceremoniously.

The two lit cigars. The smoke instantly enveloped the entire trunk, and the two of them rolled down the window glass on one side of their car, and the scorching air from the Sahara region rushed in.

"Joseph, is it wise for us to be exposed to the scorching sun in such weather?"

Joseph is Francis's family name, and the two have been friends for decades, and the family also has a very close connection with each other, such as Baker's cousin is Francis's cousin and so on. So Baker didn't have to add an honorific title in front of Francis's last name.

"If we don't, we're stuck in that dirty, disgusting little hotel, no. I'm fed up there, I can't stand being there for an extra minute. Even a walk in the desert is much better than being there. ”

Baker shook his head helplessly, Joseph always had to pretend to be haughty in front of him. Put a disdain for all things on his face to show his difference and nobility.

"Baker, do you believe Chen Yuxing's statement?"

Francis saw that Baker had no intention of continuing the conversation, so he was not prepared to turn around and try it again. Rather, it gets straight to the point.

"Joseph, if I said I believed it, would you believe it?" Baker shrugged. Francis did not respond positively to questions that he asked like a schoolboy.

Francis smiled awkwardly, amused by his childish question, but he didn't stop the conversation.

"Beck, I'm curious, even if Chen Yuxing said this kind of thing to reporters in person, how he would explain his words in the future. Would he rather give the world the impression of opening his eyes and telling nonsense? This does not do the young politician any good. ”

Francis is an old and cunning politician, he thinks most about interests in everything he does, he will not do things that affect his political image, and of course, in private he doesn't care about doing anything that anyone is angry about, as long as it is not known to the public.

"Joseph, you are a veteran politician, and you must have a way of giving a reasonable explanation. I think Chen Yuxing's political wisdom is not weaker than ours, and he will also give the world a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, he would not have been able to rise to a high position in Chinese politics in such a short period of time. Moreover, it also has an increasing right to comment on the world political arena. ”

Francis also shrugged his shoulders in the same way as Baker had just done, and said that I felt the same way.

Baker continued: "It's not a matter of covering up the ears and stealing the bell that the government of the United States has done, what can the so-called world public opinion do, right, Joseph. ”

Francis looked at Baker, who sensed that Baker was a bit of an anomaly today. There is a lot of dissatisfaction with the United States in the tone of speech.

……

"Mr. Francis, there are two lions in front of you, Emile please ask if you want to get out of the car, the roar of the car may startle the lions. ”

Francis continued to probe Baker's tone, and Francis's security personnel sitting in the front row reported to him. Emile is Francis' head of security.

Two people come to the prairie to visit the natural scenery of the prairie, but also to be able to see the wild animals on the prairie, if you can hunt one or two small game, it would be better. Of course, they dare not hunt such beasts as lions, but that does not prevent them from appreciating them.

"Beck, let's get off!"

Francis made a gesture of please to Baker.

Baker tossed half of the best cigars into the ashbox before getting out of the car, and the muscles on Francis's face twitched twice, which was a high-end item for more than $100 a piece. Baker's approach is waste.

The convoy had stopped, and as soon as Francis and Baker got out of the car, their security guards surrounded them, and the two men had an extra telescope in their hands.

"Two children next to the lion?"

Francis lowered his binoculars and said to Baker, who was still holding the telescope and observing. (To be continued......) I1292
