Chapter 5 First Contact

In Zhou You's view, Uribe is the protagonist of a fairy tale in reality. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info quit the party before the presidential election, then relied on his charisma to attract a large number of followers, used guerrillas to counterattack the government forces, and the people's desire for peace and won the election, any of these links represent a miracle.

In fact, he played a very limited role, because in his previous life, Uribe also rose to prominence and won the presidency. But no one else thinks so, except for himself, because they all believe that the money of the tour, including the connection between the various parties, is an important factor in Uribe's victory.

Of course, Zhou You will not deny this, but take advantage of their mentality, and in the new government team, he has gained a lot of friendship and support.

Both Uribe's Colombia First Movement and the Conservative Party, including the Liberal Party, which lost the election, value the role of Zhou You as a powerful potential partner.

Of course, there is also the reason for his relationship with Bessaín, although Spain has ended its rule over Colombia for two hundred years, but Spain's influence on many countries in South America is still very large.

It's like the previous president, Arango, who lived on the outskirts of Madrid after his abdication, and was in the same neighborhood as Zhou You and Gracia's villa in Madrid, and they were neighbors.

Most of the countries in South America will be influenced by Spain to some extent, and everyone knows this. And now that Bessain has been elected to Spain's senatorship, this power is something that no one will neglect.

The Palazzo Nariño is a nearly 200-year-old building that resembles a zigzag, and the palace and the parliament building were built at the same time as the independence of Colombia and even share a large garden with a helipad that can be used to fly any type of aircraft. The president's family lives on the right side of the upper part of the zigzag, facing the garden and the parliament building.

The tour room is also located at the end of the second floor of this section, and is an ensuite with two bedrooms and a living room. Zhou You's master bedroom faces the garden, and there is a big tree with lush foliage outside the window, but unfortunately Zhou You has lived here twice and doesn't know what kind of tree it is.

President Uribe was not at the Palazzo Nariño, but he is now on the front line because of the fierce fighting that is raging on the outskirts of Bogotá. And his wife, because she was at work, was received by the housekeeper of the Palazzo Nariño.

The last time I participated in Uribe's inauguration ceremony, Zhou You stayed in this room, and the second time I stayed, Zhou You didn't have any unaccustomed habits, and while Uribe hadn't come back, he lay down in the wide bathtub and took a bath.

From the resumption of fighting in February to September, the guerrillas were well off in the start of the campaign, reaching the outskirts of Bogotá at the end of July.

However, the current guerrillas have no stamina and have lost the edge of their beginning.

First of all, they lack funds, and in modern warfare, they are fighting logistics. The guerrillas used to be mountainous and lived on the drug trade and donations from international communism. As soon as the war began, the daily consumption was astronomical, and now the government army has cut off the channel of the foreign exchange market and cut off aid from the border, and the guerrillas can no longer afford to fight.

Second, the guerrillas were unpopular, and in the past, in order to raise funds, the guerrillas not only relied on drugs to make money, but also launched numerous kidnappings against foreign investors and wealthy people, which brought the guerrillas into a bad name.

However, the guerrillas are also a small power that cannot be defeated, because in the mountains, the guerrillas are the representatives of the poor, and Colombia is a poor country with many poor people.

Therefore, although the war cannot be won, no one will lose. Zhou You remembers that in 2016, when he was reborn, the war was still going on, but thanks to the efforts of then-President Santos, the two sides had a period of peace for several years, and for this reason, Santos was also awarded the Nobel ******.

Therefore, although Zhou You was tasked with acting as a mediator, he did not think that he could really mediate this war, because this civil war has been going on for nearly forty years and will continue.

Uribe's father died in the guerrillas' abduction, and he hated them and would not change his hard-line stance because of his travels.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Uribe returned to the presidential palace, accompanied by a large group of staff and army commanders. Without the reporter to follow, Uribe also became much more casual, lying directly on the large sofa.

"There is a shortage of medical drugs and a lot of stocks of weapons and ammunition. Mariano, urge the U.S. side to get the aid as soon as possible. General Domingo, the pace of training of recruits should be accelerated, and we must send 40,000 recruits to the front line in the fastest possible time. José, you draft a state of emergency as soon as possible, and we need to conduct a nationwide state of emergency for three months to six months after we are ready, and severely crack down on the arrogance of the guerrillas. ”

"Your Excellency, the issuance of the state of emergency must be cautious, because it will affect the international reputation of our country, and the pressure on the government will be very great."

It was Uribe's chief of staff, Illario, who was Uribe's staunchest supporter and the first veteran politician to follow Uribe after he withdrew from the Liberal Party.

According to Colombian law, during a state of emergency, the state applies wartime laws, Congress is temporarily adjourned, the powers of the president are expanded, the military will censor reports related to the war, the freedoms of citizens are restricted, and the state has the right to expropriate private property when necessary.

Therefore, if this decree is implemented, it will not be the guerrillas who will feel the pressure first, but Uribe himself. If the war goes well, Uribe will be a little easier, and if the war is not going well, then Uribe will have the possibility of overthrowing.

"Ilario, I've already figured out that the people elected me to power to revitalize the economy and fight against the underworld and anti-government forces, if I can't make these decisions, what's the difference with other politicians!"

Through Uribe's arrangement, one order after another was conveyed, and in the end, there were only a few people left by Uribe's side.

At this time, the housekeeper of the Nariño Palace came over and said, "Your Excellency, Mr. Zhou has already arrived at three o'clock in the afternoon......

Uribe paused for a moment and asked, "Is Madame back?" ”

"Yes, Madame is talking to him......"

"That's good, he's not an outsider, so he doesn't need to be particularly polite. I need to take a shower before I see him. …… Illario, don't go back in the evening, come with me for dinner with Mr. Zhou. ”

Illario nodded, glanced at a "young man" about forty years old beside him, and said: "Mr. Zhou is a superhuman drinker, and Your Excellency and I can't accompany him well, Herrera also happens to be a superhuman drinker, he should be a good drinking friend of Mr. Zhou." ”

Uribe glanced at Herrera, who was a little excited, and asked, "Herrera, I remember that you graduated from the Complutense University of Madrid, right?" ”

Herrera was very grateful for the opportunity that Illario had created for him, and said as calmly as possible: "Yes, I graduated from the School of Social Work of Complutonne University, have been engaged in the study of international relations, and have worked in Hong Kong for five years, so I am very familiar with the situation in Asia. ”

Uribe nodded and said, "Very good, I think you and Evan Zhou will have a common language." To be honest, he is a very quick thinker, and a lot of times, talking to him makes me very passive. ”

An hour later, Herrera met the much-touted Evan Chow. In fact, he also admired this young man who was nearly half younger than him in his heart.

He is not yet 23 years old, but he has already created a huge amount of wealth for himself, and not only that, but he has also built a huge network of relationships across Asia, Europe and the United States, and built a solid foundation for a business empire.

With this alone, he has gone ahead of countless people. As long as there are no major mistakes in this Evan week, Herrera has a hard time imagining how big his empire will be in another twenty years.

Since it was a private banquet for the president, there were not many people attending the banquet, only Zhou You and his assistant Sanchez, the president and his wife, as well as the director of the presidential affairs office, Calvo, the chief of staff, Illario, and Herrera, who went to the airport to greet Zhou You.

In the small dining room of Palazzo Nariño, Uribe sat at the end of the long table, and to his left sat the Guest of Honour of Visit, with the President's wife sitting at the bottom of the tour, and then Sánchez. On the president's right-hand side, the chief of staff is Illario, who is the first to sit, followed by Calvo, and Herrera is at the bottom.

He could only see Evan Zhou's side face from the side, but from his body, Herrera felt an indescribable domineering aura. Compared to him, President Uribe, with a mild-faced face, is more like an ordinary professor.

Today's main course is all specially prepared Spanish cuisine and a few Colombian specialties, which should be very much to the taste of Evan Chow, as Herrera sees that he has a good appetite and eats a lot.

To Herrera's surprise, they did not talk about the situation in Colombia, but talked about it, and even during the meal, Evan Zhou promised to open a football school in Colombia to provide systematic football training for Colombian children and strive to create more football stars for Colombia.

Although Atletico Madrid is not a member of the G14 group because of Real Madrid's suppression, no one can deny that Atletico Madrid is still a first-class team in the world.

Opening a football school in Colombia is not only in the interests of Atletico Madrid, but also provides an additional path for Colombian players to develop.

However, this will have to wait until the recent war has subsided a bit.
