Chapter Eighty-Five: Reason

In South America, because it was hit by Western forces led by the United States in the seventies and eighties, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it became a minority force in the political arena. www.biquge.info In most countries in South America, the **** has become a guerrilla force, fighting against the government army in the deep mountains and forests.

It is also because of this background that they have close ties with Bessain's side, because the international situation and status of the two sides are similar.

Just last month, because of the contradictions in the election process, the Colombian civil war broke out again, although it has not yet started, but it is only a matter of time.

Bessain will provide not only some military support, but also some economic support, I am afraid. Those guerrillas in South America, like songs, do not rely on drug trafficking, and they can't afford to wear poor pants.

But it was clear to Zhou You that the civil war still ended in the victory of the government army, and because of this war, it also brought the political elite Uribe to power.

A very important reason why he is called an elite rather than a strongman is that Uribe is biased towards Western society, especially very close to the United States, so he has strong support from the United States.

The biggest difference between him and Castro in Cuba and Chavez in Venezuela is that he is in power within the organization, rather than carrying out a poisonous policy.

Uribe's father died at the hands of the guerrillas, so his attitude towards the guerrillas has always been to exterminate them all, never relentlessly, after he came to power, the guerrillas suffered a major blow, until Zhou You was reborn, there was no great achievement.

So, after knowing Bessain's purpose, Zhou You fell into a conflict, because he didn't know what to do to get him out of the predicament and not fall into this quagmire.

He is his brother-in-law, he doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, and he doesn't want him to do useless work all the time, and he will put himself in danger.

However, Zhou You was just a lone ranger in his previous life, or he didn't have such a high level, and he was not a very smart person, so he didn't know how to solve such troubles.

It was at this time that Zhou You's phone rang, the call was from Gracia, she first expressed her concern to Zhou You, and then handed the phone to old Volando.

On the phone, the elder Volando said very simply, telling Zhou You that he would be on tomorrow's plane and would arrive in Singapore the morning after tomorrow.

At this time, Zhou You was relieved. Old Volando came to Singapore at this time, and he must have helped him with advice, and in this regard, he still believes in Old Volando's ability.

Zhou You played with her son at home for a day, and in the afternoon, Yan Fangqing's stylist came to the house to do her hair and makeup. The father and son also asked the stylist to cut their hairstyle exactly the same, which made Long Long very excited, touching Zhou You's head from time to time, and touching his own head, hehe Zhile.

On the evening of the 31st, Zhou You and Yan Fangqing went to the presidential palace to participate in the New Year's reception, and the Singapore government also specially held a grand fireworks show in the Bay Area, setting off fireworks for half an hour.

At noon on the first day, they participated in the New Year's group meeting and a large concert in the evening. It's a pity that Zhou You and Yan Fangqing both know nine out of ten about elegant music, and they don't know anything about it. Both of them feel that such a concert is more comfortable than going to a pop concert, which is too awkward.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhou You asked the bodyguard to drive, and he himself went to the airport and picked up the old Volando who came to Singapore alone. The two of them didn't go home, they went straight to the Hilton Hotel and stayed in the reserved suite.

Although the old Volando had been on the plane for seven or eight hours, he was still in good spirits, and after washing his face in the bathroom, he returned to his seat and opened his suitcase.

"You should already know why Bessain went to Colombia, but do you have any ideas on how to keep him safe in that environment?"

Zhou You shook his head and said, "In these aspects, I have always been just a qualified executor, not a strategist. ”

Old Wolan nodded, and said bluntly: "It was my idea to involve you this time. Because there is still a certain danger for Bessain to travel to Colombia at this sensitive time, I don't want him to sacrifice his life because of other countries. ”

Zhou You smiled, lay down on the back of the sofa chair, lit a cigarette and asked, "What about mine?" ”

Old Volando smiled and said: "At the beginning, my plan was not perfect, I just wanted you to protect the safety of Bessain, which is indeed dangerous to you, but I also believe in your ability, because in this world, there are not many people who can directly defeat you." But then Gracia got angry with me and scolded me, and I realized that I had made a mistake in my thinking. ”

Zhou You asked indifferently, "What about now?" ”

Gracia should be biased towards herself, and if she doesn't speak for herself at such a time, then he will be too much of a failure, and Gracia must not want it again.

Although he went voluntarily, but his woman didn't care about his safety, then of course he would have other ideas.

Old Volando was a little unsure of Zhou You's thoughts, but he was still sure that Zhou You wasn't angry. He deliberately laughed and said, "But when I broke through the thinking of a father and analyzed this matter from the whole picture, I realized that my thinking was wrong from the beginning. ”

Zhou You asked curiously, "So you changed your mind?" ”

Volando Sr. smiled and said, "You should still go to Colombia, but you don't have to go with Bessaín in the past, but go directly to Bogotá." ”

Zhou You didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "What is the purpose of me going to Bogotá?" You'd better just tell me what you think, and then I can make my own judgment. ”

Old Volando took out a stack of documents from his suitcase and handed it to Zhou You. "I know you still have a big handicap in reading Spanish, so the translation is in English, you can take a good look."

Although this stack of materials is extensive, most of it is an introduction to the specific political environment in Colombia. From ****, centrists, ****, from the majority party to the minority party, from the ruling party to the opposition party, including a detailed introduction of the main leaders of each party.

Zhou You looked through it and said, "Although these materials are useful to me, I don't think reading these things will have any effect on me helping Bessain." ”

"What do you think of the current situation in Colombia?" Seeing Zhou You frowning, old Volando also said directly: "I know, because you didn't contact this aspect at the beginning, you are still a little vague about the situation in Colombia, so I'll tell you my analysis." The current ruling Conservative Party has been ineffective in punishing corruption and underworld forces, including the crackdown on drugs, and in encircling and suppressing the rebels. Therefore, the Conservative candidate Juan Camillo Restrepo was forced to withdraw from the presidential race, and this time the most likely winner of the presidential election will be the Liberals in the middle of the opposition parties. The most likely person in the Liberal Party to take over the presidency will be the current leader, Horacio Serpaulibe. ”

But when he saw the photo, Zhou You recognized that this Uribe was not the Uribe he knew, because the Uribe he knew had been the president of Colombia for eight years, and he had seen the photo tour for a long time, he was a handsome middle-aged man, and this Uribe was a big fat man.

Zhou You flipped through the information again and found the photo of Uribe in his mind, Zhou You paid attention to it, his name was Álvaro Uribe, and the future president, who was inconspicuous in the Liberal Party, could only be ranked fourth at present.

Although Zhou You does not know how he will become president in the future, he is very familiar with his subsequent experience, and after eight years as president, he still serves as a senator in Colombia, and has a high reputation in Colombia.

In particular, he suffered 15 assassinations by the rebels, and still fought hard against the guerrillas, eventually depleting three-quarters of the guerrilla forces in Colombia and suffering heavy losses.

The handsome, middle-aged man was Colombia's preeminent political star, and even his successor, Santos, who later served as president for six years, was propped up by him, because Santos was his defense minister during his presidency.

At the time of his rebirth, Uribe still had an unrivalled influence in Colombia, and in many cases could still be compared to that of later President Santos.

Zhou You did not directly tell the elder Volando that his recommendation for the presidential candidate was wrong, because he had no reason to support him in this matter.

"You mean to say that I will be in direct contact with the Liberals, with Uribe, and then use their influence to influence their methods against Bessain?"

Old Volando smiled and said, "You are really a smart person, and all you lack is a little experience. ”

Zhou You ignored his praise and asked, "Are you sure they can influence the anti-guerrilla army?" ”

"Yes, because the relationship between the military and the government in Colombia is far from the separation of military and political affairs that is practiced in most countries, and the military has many spokesmen in the government, and the government has more spokesmen in the army. Moreover, the army fighting the guerrillas is a separate military interest group, and they need the support of the government even more. Actually, it's not the best for you to do this, but I can't come forward, and even the Spaniards can't come forward, so I can only take the opportunity of you to negotiate business and do public relations. ”

Zhou You finally asked, "What I want to know is, what benefits can Bessain gain from this?" Is this price really worth all the effort we have to pay for? ”

Old Volando nodded firmly and said, "It's definitely worth it!" ”

Zhou You's heart somewhat understood, this is the old Volando is working hard for Bessain's ascension, Zhou You can know without you that if Bessain's actions in Colombia go well this time, then he will have a lot less resistance in the Basque Country in the future.
