The faint light sprinkled in the wide room, and the black sofas looked so grand and solemn, perhaps, because of the identity of the master, the junior cadres entered this room, and their trembling can be imagined.

Tang Yi and Tang Wandong stood in front of the window, outside the window was the crystal clear lake under the night light, with a thin layer of ice, extremely beautiful. "The Middle East, it's a powder keg now!" Tang Wandong said with a soft sigh.

Tang Yi nodded silently. I just talked with Vice Premier Shen Yanxin, and the central government has decided to appoint Tang Yi to visit Mosanke, and the meaning of this is self-evident. In recent years, the United States' influence in the Middle East has swelled dramatically, and in fact it has threatened the energy security of the Republic. Tang Yi's visit to the central government hopes that through Tang Yi can open another energy line in the Middle East in addition to Iran, it can be said that Tang Yi will face the most important test in his life: "Mosanke is one of the more important allies of the United States in the Arab countries, although there are frictions with the old enemy Israel, but the foreign policy towards the United States has always been relatively moderate, and it is difficult to expand the influence of the Republic in Mosanke.

Although it is expected that this visit will not yield any results, there will definitely be people talking behind the scenes, and it will become the Waterloo incident of Tang Yi's foreign exchanges, which will affect Tang Yi's pace of progress in the future.

The invitation from Mosank can be described as a hot potato, although the inviter is well-intentioned and wants to meet his old friend.

In fact, Tang Yi did not expect that Liku would become the new leader of the Arab Baath Party, and was elected as the new president in the election of Mozambique.

The so-called millennium of the grace of a meal, this Arab brother has not forgotten Tang Yi's warm hospitality to him at the beginning, nor has he forgotten the words "my Chinese brother" he said when he hugged Tang Yi when he left, not long after he was elected, he sent Tang Yi an uninvited visit, but it suddenly pushed Tang Yi into an embarrassing situation, which he probably did not expect.

Silently tasted. Tea, Tang Yi didn't speak, just quietly looked at the night sky in the distance, even Tang Wandong, I don't know what he is thinking now.

When Tang Yi's special plane landed at the Kuima International Airport, the capital of Mosanke, it was greeted by the Mosanke official with a high courtesy, a salute, a guard of honor, and Mosanke's Vice President Umar personally greeted him at the airport.

It is said that the British Foreign Secretary, who also visited Mosank a few days ago, expressed his wish to meet with President Johan and Germany tonight, but was rejected.

When Tang Yi returned to the State Guesthouse, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and under the night light, the Arabian style of the Mosanke State Guesthouse was fully displayed, especially the distinctive mosque, which looked even more solemn in the various octagonal buildings.

The Mosanke State Guesthouse has always had strict security. After the terrorist attack last year, a concrete barrier in the shape of a "" was built on the outside of the state guesthouse, mainly to prevent "car bomb" attacks. If you want to enter the courtyard of the State Guesthouse, you have to go through two large iron gates.

At the iron gate, cars must be turned off for inspection, followed by police officers with police dogs. The last checkpoint is to check the small items carried by the entrant, similar to the security check when taking an airplane.

There are two Presidential Suites at the State Guesthouse, each of which is hundreds of square meters. For added security, staff will not be allowed until the day before the visit. Security conducted a thorough inspection of the building, including air conditioning and sewer pipes.

Tang Yi was accommodated in one of the two presidential suites at the State Guesthouse, and most of the accompanying delegation members were accommodated in the main building of the State Guesthouse, a huge 11-story building that could accommodate multiple delegations on each floor.

Most of the people who accompanied Tang Yi on this visit were party and government cadres and economic figures in eastern Liaodong, and the only exception was probably Li Kebin, vice president of PetroChina, who also accompanied Tang Yi to the presidential set, and the two naturally needed further exchanges.

Arabian exotic luxury is evident throughout the presidential suite, from hand-woven blankets to crystal clear chandeliers, and even several beautifully shaped Arabic shisha on bar stands. Li Kebin looked at the bar and smiled, saying, "This is good, I smoked it, it's a little interesting." ”

Tang Yi smiled, but sat down on the soft classical couch, Xiao Tan set up the cigarettes and fire, and was busy looking for tea leaves to make tea.

Li Kebin is in his fifties, his hair is half bald, and he looks like an ordinary chubby old man, although he is full of words in PetroChina, and there are almost no cadres in PetroChina who are not afraid of him, but now, the sharp majesty on his body has long been cleaned, and he sat down next to Tang Yi with a smile, and said: "Secretary Tang, I have long wanted to work with you, this opportunity is rare, I will study more." ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Let's learn together and improve together." It's the first time I've been here in the Middle East and want to open up the situation, does Mr. Li have any ideas? ”

Li Kebin sighed and said: "Mosangke's oil is controlled by the US and British oil companies, "Let's talk about it if we want to insert a lever, let's take our time, but now we can only sign a few agreements with their national oil companies as a breakthrough point."

Tang Yi smiled and didn't squeak. Li Kebin is naturally an old oilman in the officialdom, he also knows that he is now in the same boat with himself, and he has thought of countermeasures before he comes, and he has a personal relationship with the rare morality, and it should be no problem to sign a few cooperation intentions with the other party's national oil, this is the so-called "effect" in the officialdom is actually a few pieces of waste paper, of course, maybe it will be useful in the future, or it may not be useful, who knows, in short, things are to deal with the past, and to deal with this kind of thing, Li Kebin seems to be familiar with it, it can be said that this is a very good place" as an official". "Secretary Tang doesn't have any high opinions?" Seeing that Tang Yi was noncommittal, Li Kebin asked for advice "with an open mind". Tang Yi smiled and lit a cigarette and said, "Let's go and see." ”

Li Kebin laughed and didn't answer, he had already heard that the secretary of the Liaodong Provincial Party Committee was very deep, and in front of this kind of person, he naturally had to be twelve times more vigilant.

After Li Kebin left, Tang Yi still sat silently on the sofa and pondered, Xiao Tan came over and replaced the tea that had been cool, and Tang Yi's eyes saw him. Affects you, right? Xiao Tan was slightly flustered.

Looking at this young man in a black suit who was becoming more and more handsome, Tang Yi smiled: "Why don't you go out for a walk, everyone in the group has gone to see the mosque, right?" It's safe here, you can also go and take a few pictures and show them to your girlfriend when you get back. ”

Xiao Tan shook his head and said, "No." "Xiao Tan's girlfriend is extremely virtuous, never complains about anything, and never has to worry about him. Tang Yi nodded, turned around and picked up the teacup.

The second meeting between Tang Yi and President Han Zhide was in the afternoon of the next day, and President Han Zhide arranged a very private invitation to Tang Yi to the tennis court of the presidential palace and compete with Tang Yi for a game of tennis.

In terms of physical strength and skills, President Rare is far behind, Tang Yi saved him face, did not make him lose too badly, even so, a game of tennis down, President Rare German almost out of breath, of course, with his age to be able to exercise so vigorously, the maintenance is still quite good.

Sitting on the bench next to the green lawn, President Ni Xiande drank water and smiled boldly: "My Chinese brother, great, great!" ”

Tang Yi smiled and wiped his forehead with a white towel, in fact, there were not a few drops of sweat at all, "Tang Yi also noticed that as he grew older, his physical strength did not decline significantly." Can I go to Liaodong again? He asked with a smile.

"Always welcome!" Tang Yi made a gesture of welcome, and he laughed again, and after laughing for a while, he gradually became serious and said, "China is very big, my country is very small, I hope we can become good friends." Tang Yifu said: "Aren't we good friends now?" "I laughed again." Moreover, you have weapons that can affect the world, oil. Tang Yi continued. He smiled and said, "I knew you were going to talk to me about this." "You should have thought of it when you invited me." Tang Yi said with a smile.

Han Yude nodded slightly, "You should also know my difficulties, oil is also a sensitive topic in Mosanke, and I can't call the shots alone, not only the opposition party, but also the consistent policies of the party." He turned his head and said to Tang Yi very seriously: "I have a good impression of you, and I hope we can become friends, but this can't change anything." In this kind of private occasion, although he did not use most official words to prevaricate Tang Yi, he was obviously also tight, both "sincerely" wanting to make friends with Tang Yi, but also not wanting to do anything for his friends. In fact, maybe he has a good impression of Tang Yi, but how can politicians be so simple, in recent years, the economic strength of the republic has increased dramatically, especially after several economic crises, the economy of the republic has shown strong vitality, and it is rare to hope that Mosanke can benefit from the economic development of the republic, and Tang Yi to conclude a friend relationship is undoubtedly a shortcut, and before this, he naturally does not want to suddenly adjust the country's consistent foreign policy, causing a crazy attack by domestic political enemies.

Tang Yi naturally knows this. He smiled and said, "I fully understand Mr. President's difficulties, but I heard that your oil company is in trouble, I wonder if we can help?" ”

Hearing the translated words, Tang Yi began to call himself "Mr. President", and he knew that this red high-ranking official was a little displeased, although the other party was young, but it was not simple, "I probably saw my intentions."

Then he was slightly stunned when he heard Tang Yi mention "Mosanke National Oil", and then said: "My Chinese brother, you are very well-informed." ”

Not long after the Mosanke presidential palace sent a letter inviting Tang Yi to visit, a fire suddenly broke out in an oil well owned by Mosanke's national oil, the accident was extremely serious, and the fire has not been extinguished until now, and the Mosanke Ministry of Energy and the security department intervened in the investigation, Mosanke's national oil enterprise system is full of problems, corruption, corruption, bureaucracy, and inefficiency, almost all the negative terms in the state enterprises can be crowned on its head, and then, Mosanke national oil was sniped in the financial market, and the stock price plummeted. Angry people began to take to the streets in protest, and the current Mosank national stone has almost become a street rat.

This is the first serious test he faced after taking office, especially the European and American oil companies began to reveal their intention to annex Mosang's national oil, and after being disclosed by some newspapers, the Mosanke Arab people, who have long been more angry about the country's economy controlled by Western companies, and even began to attack the government departments. The possibility of a large-scale terrorist attack cannot be ruled out.

Han even began to suspect that extremist forces were behind the revelations of the government's dealings with Western oil companies or the organization of mass demonstrations. Sighing deeply, he didn't speak.

Tang Yi picked up the water and drank a few sips, and said with a smile: "Mr. President is also very ready to get out of the current predicament. ”

Han Yide frowned slightly, but still did not speak. Well, he also knew what Tang Yi would say next.

Tang Yi said with a smile: "If your country's national oil can cooperate with PetroChina, with the strength of my country's oil company, all problems will naturally be solved." Of course, I understand Mr. President's concerns, "But Mr. President should know that our foreign policy has always been moderate. In the same way, the cooperation between your oil company and PetroChina will not be a market behavior of big fish eating small fish, we can really help your oil company get out of the predicament of the past, and what is needed is only a small stake in your oil company, and it will definitely not affect the decision-making power of your oil company. ”

Although it seems to have the upper hand, in fact, Tang Yi is also a little helpless, the diplomacy of the republic is currently such a situation, in some more sensitive foreign trade, it is not dominated by market behavior at all, and it often takes a lot of money to get a little return or breakthrough, and the saddest thing is that it is often the price paid, but it is not the small return that is expected.

However, if the Mosanke incident is analyzed by Xiao Jinhua's secret intelligence department, the result will naturally be different. At this moment, Xiao Jinhua thought about it, smiling and tasting red wine, proud of his son.

I pondered for a while, and finally, I nodded slowly.
