Chapter 536: Arrival in Northern Europe
Since there is no direct international route from the coast to Stockholm, the Boeing 787 plane first stopped at the capital airport for a short time after taking off, picked up more than a dozen staff members from the country's foreign ministry and security departments on the plane, and then took off again and went straight to Northern Europe.
The next voyage was a little boring, with a voyage of tens of thousands of kilometers from the imperial capital to Northern Europe, and it took more than eight hours to travel in the sky. Fortunately, there are spacious and luxurious bedrooms on the plane, and if you are bored, you can just lie down and wake up.
Xie Xuan and Silent Liuyun accompanied Zhao Xinglan to chat in the personal living room next to the bedroom, and tirelessly told her all kinds of precautions.
Because of the mission, the two of them have gone abroad more than once, and they have visited almost all parts of the world, but Zhao Xinglan is still the first time to come back to Northern Europe, and her identity is so important and she is a public visit, so they feel pressured in their hearts.
"More nervous than protecting the country's leaders!" is what Silent Cloud really feels.
After all, Huaguo's intelligence agencies are not dry, how can they not know about the actions that the secret departments of those big countries have played recently?
It is only to blame that Zhao Xinglan's value in the field of biological genes is too amazing, so it has aroused the jealousy of the high-level leaders of various countries, and they have made up their minds to take advantage of this rare opportunity to make this talented Chinese beauty scientist and the youngest Nobel laureate in history disappear forever.
The best way is not to let Zhao Xinglan go abroad. The son of a daughter can't sit down. For many years to come, her value to the country will be irreplaceable, and in this sense, she is actually much more important than the country's leaders.
However, Zhao Xinglan felt that he was not an ordinary person, with the identity of the inheritor and the corresponding strong strength, which was enough to protect himself, plus there were so many elite guards around him, he didn't need to care too much about the conspiracy of those bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods, and finally reluctantly persuaded the high-level to relent.
"Just this once, not an example!" This is Lieutenant General Zhou Yunting's admonition to Zhao Xinglan before leaving.
Zhao Xinglan also happily agreed, she now shoulders the expectations and future of too many people, and she really can't be as willful as before.
After having lunch on the plane and playing games for a while, she took Xie Xuan to the bedroom to rest.
The big bed on the plane is also very soft and comfortable, and there is the delicate body of the goddess of Xie as a pillow, and when Zhao Xinglan, who has slept enough, opens her eyes again, the Boeing 787 special plane has entered the Swedish border, and it will land in a while.
The two big beauties hurriedly got dressed and walked out of the bedroom, Li Ruomei came over to report that everything was normal, and the Gripen fighter could be seen in the air outside the porthole.
Obviously, the country's foreign affairs department has done a lot of work in advance, otherwise how could she have the treatment of a fighter escort?
Since the time difference between Sweden and China is seven hours, when the plane landed, the local time was more than 14 o'clock in the afternoon.
Outside, the diplomatic vehicles of the Chinese Embassy in Sweden have arrived, and a large number of teams of media reporters from various countries who have heard the news have gathered around, and the official Swedish police force is present to maintain order.
After receiving the safety tips outside, the door of the special plane finally opened, and Xiao Jinlin took the lead to walk down the gangway with several elite sword wielders, and discussed in a low voice with the two security department officials waiting next to him before returning to the cabin.
Two minutes later, Zhao Xinglan, dressed in a snow-white mink coat, with a slender figure and sunglasses, finally appeared at the door of the cabin and walked down the gangway with a graceful gait under the escort of everyone. Suddenly, many reporters who were waiting for it were clamoring, and the flashes of the cameras lit up one after another:
“…… It's out, it's finally out!"
“…… This mysterious oriental beauty is the youngest genius scientist in China?
“…… Yes, and she is also a well-known upstart in the biomedical industry, maybe it won't be long before the position of the richest man in the world is hers, which is really enviable!"
“…… It's a pity that she wears sunglasses, I really want to see how beautiful she is!"
“…… Are you sure it's her? It's not going to be some kind of stand-in, is it?"
"Who knows......"
Some anxious reporters have already begun to cross the barrier and try to squeeze their way to the gangway area, as if they want to seize the opportunity to ask Arashi a few questions, and it would be even better if they can get the opportunity to interview on the spot.
It's just that their actions were unceremoniously pushed back by the special police officers present, and two rows of big men blocked both sides of the red carpet tightly, and they would never allow this group of uncrowned kings to cross the thunder pool for half a step.
Xiao Jinlin's sharp and calm eyes swept over the crowd below, among these media reporters with long guns and short cannons, there must have been elite agent killers, and there were quite a few of them. So he and his subordinates can't take it lightly.
The weather in Northern Europe is not generally cold.
This is the only feeling Zhao Xinglan felt after walking down the gangway, after all, this place is close to the Arctic Circle, and it is winter, so it is not normal if it is not cold.
In fact, Sweden is located at a higher latitude, and the Arctic Circle passes through its northern territory, so the temperature is low. However, due to the influence of the Mexican Current, which flows through the North Atlantic, Sweden's climate is much milder than other regions of the same latitude (Siberia, Canada, Alaska, etc.). In January every year, the average temperature in southern Sweden is -1 degree Celsius, in the north is -14 degrees Celsius, and the winter in the capital Stockholm starts in December and ends at the end of March of the following year, with an average temperature of -3 degrees Celsius and a lot of snowfall.
It had just snowed in the morning, and it didn't clear until noon, and white snow could be seen on buildings in the distance.
The Chinese ambassador to Sweden and the official reception staff of Sweden greeted them, the two sides exchanged a few words, and the special car with diplomatic license plates drove over, ignoring the inquiries and shouts of many reporters around, Silent Liuyun directly escorted Zhao Xinglan into the car, and under the leadership of the leading police car, the convoy went straight to the embassy.
Due to the large number of people accompanying him, Zhao Xinglan originally planned to charter a well-known five-star hotel in Stockholm before departure, and arranged for his professional manager Perok to pay off the deposit in advance.
As a result, Xie Xuan resolutely refused, and the two women argued, and finally she relented and let those attaché bodyguards go to the hotel, as for Zhao Xinglan himself, he had to live in the Chinese Embassy, so as to ensure safety to the greatest extent.
After all, the situation in this place is special, and if you are not careful, it will cause international diplomatic disputes, and those ghost agents will have some scruples when they start, and they dare not be too unscrupulous.
“…… It looks like the environment is very nice, but it doesn't feel very big, and it's not as good as the seaside!"
In the car, Zhao Xinglan looked at the neat and clean scenery on both sides of the street and sighed slightly.
Xie Xuan glanced at her: "There are tens of millions of people in the coast, not counting the floating population from outside, and the population of the entire Swedish kingdom is not so much, how can it be compared?"
"Well, that's right. Zhao Xinglan stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed.
Stockholm is the capital and largest city of Sweden and is home to the official palaces of the Swedish government, parliament and the royal family.
Located on the east coast of Sweden and bordering the Baltic Sea, this beautiful city is a world-famous tourist destination at the mouth of Lake Mälaren and a beautiful scenery. The city is spread over 14 islands and a peninsula, and more than 70 bridges connect the islands, earning it the nickname "Venice of the North". The city of Stockholm is part of the whole of Greater Stockholm.
Stockholm was founded in the 13th century and has been the political, cultural, economic and transport centre of the Kingdom of Sweden since 1436.
Protected from the devastation of war, the ancient buildings here are well preserved, and there are now more than 100 museums, including history, ethnicity, nature, fine arts, and other aspects. Stockholm is also a high-tech city with numerous universities and a well-developed industry. It is also the financial centre of Sweden and is home to the headquarters of the country's major banks.
Stockholm is the hometown of Alfred Nobel. Since 1901, every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the Stockholm Concertgebouw has held a solemn ceremony, in which the King of Sweden personally awards the Nobel Prize winners, and a dinner is held in the town hall.
It wasn't until the convoy successfully drove into the gate of the embassy area that Xiao Jinlin's hanging heart relaxed slightly.
