As a businessman, or as an individual, to participate in the whirlpool of international politics is very anachronistic, and it can even be said that it is a great rebellion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is not uncommon for individuals to participate in politics, but they are generally involved in internal affairs. But the situation in Colombia is different, because the two sides of the civil war here represent the battlefield of two different political forms of confrontation between the East and the West.

Zhou You's rash participation is tantamount to directly stirring up the center of international political competition, and at this time, no matter how he balances, he can't escape being involved.

Moreover, when the matter had just begun and had not yet come to fruition, this matter was exposed, directly showing his follow-up actions in front of everyone, and his every move was exposed under the noses of others.

At this time, any behavior will be amplified, and any word he says may cause changes in this world. This also made him have to show a more obvious attitude in his always vague political consciousness, which made him completely lose his previous freedom.

Biased to the East, not to mention Europe and the United States, even Singapore will not allow it.

Leaning towards the West, he can't get past this level of his own psychology.

But no matter what, I've been trying to stay out of it, and now it's a little impossible.

Zhou You suspected that this news was not leaked out by accident, and it is even possible that the Cuban side leaked it on its own initiative.

Of course, it is also possible that Western spies have been exposed.

However, he doesn't have any evidence now, and even if he finds it, he can't do anything.

Since his rebirth, he has been smooth sailing and gradually becoming a little arrogant, but this time, it directly plunged him into the most dangerous moment.

This is much more dangerous than when he faced Hu Mo and the pirates, and if he didn't handle it well, he would be in danger of being ruined.

He couldn't wait for the yacht to dock, and the yacht was still at sea, so he took Sanchez, Rhodes, and Gracia on a helicopter flight directly to Cartagena, and then changed planes to Bogotá, the capital of Colombia.

The headquarters in Singapore was also fully operational, and the major media outlets tried to downplay the serial role of Zhou You in mediating the civil war. Although this can't change his impression in the eyes of world leaders, at the very least, it can make him less pressure in terms of public opinion.

Palazzo Nariño in Bogotá, Zhou Yu sat a little tired opposite Uribe. From the morning when I received the news from my secretary in the United States, to now, Zhou You's brain has been working non-stop, trying to find the right path out of this crisis.

This mental exhaustion far outweighed the fatigue of his body, so his face also looked rare tired. As for Rhodes, his face had already turned pale, and the eyelids on his face and the fat on his cheeks drooped.

As soon as this incident was revealed, Zhou You did not worry about the partisan side, nor about the eastern bloc, because in Colombia it was mainly the Western forces that prevailed.

The first thing he wanted to appease was the government and parliament headed by Uribe. Secondly, there is the Spanish and U.S. governments, which have a close influence on Colombian politics.

Although Spain itself has now become a second-rate country, most of the people of the entire Americas are descendants of them, or have their blood, so their influence in the Americas is very large.

As for the US government, not to mention, they are the hegemon of the world. Even the current Uribe government has to receive billions of dollars in aid from the United States every year, and the influence of the Americans on him can be imagined.

Emotionally, Uribe is in favor of this plan, after all, Colombia can only develop its economy and improve the quality of life of its people when it is stable.

However, he cannot accept billions of dollars in US aid while secretly dismantling US Taiwan. This morning, he had already received a phone call from the US ambassador and President George W. Bush.

Zhou You was also angered by President Uribe and severely reprimanded. But the matter has been exposed, and now the key issue is to get it right.

"It's my fault, my understanding of politics is too shallow. I only thought that this was a good thing in several aspects, but I did not expect that the Cuban government could not see that I was easy, and took me into the army, trying to force me to make a choice. ”

"Can you be sure that Castro did it? It's a different style from what he's used to. ”

Former President Arango, who is also the general adviser to Zhou You, who is now in Colombia, said: "After our careful analysis, we still think that Cuba itself is the most likely to leak out. Evan's status as the richest man in the world will be considered by Castro to be his plundering of capital, which is one aspect, and there may be forces in the East behind him who are forcing him to make a choice. Evan has always been between East and West, and now he is the richest man in the world, and his personal importance is rapidly increasing, and now he may be forcing Evan to make a choice. ”

Uribe pondered for a moment and said: "We are both very passive in this matter now, and Colombia must not leave the aid of the United States now, otherwise, it will cause turmoil in the whole country." So, I'm definitely not going to show support for you until things are clearly moving forward. ”

Zhou You can also understand Uribe's distress, because the current Colombia is a Western management model, and if it is changed, almost all officials will now have to be replaced, and this will be a revolution.

They have been fighting the guerrillas for decades, and the hatred they have forged is no small at all, and the two sides now maintain a fragile balance. Any change will bring serious upheaval.

"I understand, I have a helicopter ready, and in a moment I will go to the small town of Florencia in the south, where Commander-in-Chief Marulanda is located, and I will persuade him to assume the role of initiator of this peace talks."

What the guerrillas need now is funds, and Zhou You is not short of funds, so Zhou You is confident to convince Marulanda, and Marulanda will not mind brushing up his fame through this matter.

Uribe looked around, sighed and said: "I know that you are causing this trouble for the sake of Colombia, please believe that I have always regarded you as a good friend of the Colombian people, and I will definitely stand behind you this time." ”

"Thank you." Zhou You shook hands with him and said with some sighs: "When I get through this crisis, I will continue to contribute to the development of Colombia." ”

The Bell 230 helicopter took off from the base and headed south for the night.

On the plane, Zhou You and Rhodes, Arango were still discussing countermeasures under the loud noise. Sánchez held the satellite phone and said loudly: "Mr. Volando has urgently made an appointment with the new Prime Minister of Spain, Passavaro, and the two sides have just finished talking. Passavaro has also come under pressure from the U.S. side to verbally condemn our actions, and perhaps there will be a formal letter of protest to follow. ”

Zhou You frowned and asked, "What did Mr. Volando say?" ”

"The attitude of the Spanish side will not be important, because they are more to follow in the footsteps of the United States. There are also our people in the council, and this matter can be controlled within a certain range. ”

Zhou You stretched out his hand, and Sanchez hurriedly handed over the satellite phone. Zhou You said in a deep voice: "Dad, it's me." ”

Old Volando knew that he was traveling around the plane, and said loudly: "I have just finished talking with Prime Minister Passavaro, and both sides believe that this matter can be controlled within a certain range, and you must firmly deny your tandem, otherwise it will make us very passive." ”

Zhou You replied and said: "Don't be afraid to spend money, if necessary, I will arrange for someone to transfer a large amount of money to dozens of secret accounts for you." ”

He laughed and said, "Don't worry about my side, the main question now is whether you are going forward or backward." ”

Yes, that's the biggest problem with traveling around right now.

Moving forward will definitely offend the Western camp led by the United States. Stepping back, Zhou You's behavior this time will not only cause a lot of trouble, but also make the Eastern camp disappointed in him.

The current travel is in a dilemma.

"I'll be back to Singapore tomorrow, and you'll take your team of advisors to Singapore with you, and we'll talk about it later."

The plane entered the province of Caquetá, but crashed into a wide area of rain clouds. This is a typical rainforest area, with dense trees on the ground and lightning and thunder in the sky. The heavy rain made the plane rely on satellite navigation, and it was not clear from the outside.

Batistuta turned around and said, "Boss, you can't go any further, it's raining too much." ”

Zhou You didn't want to lose his life in such a place, so he nodded and said, "Find an open space to land first, and wait for the rain to stop before we leave." ”

As he was talking, he saw a light on the ground. Sanchez looked at the map and said, "We're lucky, here's a copper mine invested by Minmetals in Caquetá province, boss, we came here once." ”

When he said this, Zhou You also had a little impression. But that time I came here in the morning, and the weather was fine, unlike now that it was night, and I couldn't see anything around.

Located in the north of the small town of San Vicente del Caguán, the mine was originally a center of guerrilla activity, but was recaptured in 2002 by government forces, who negotiated a joint ownership of the mine by the government and guerrillas.

But the rebels in Colombia are not just guerrillas, they are the largest.

In Colombia, there are three main factions of rebels. The FARC is a regular army, followed by the National Liberation Army, which was founded later than the guerrillas, but they do things more extremely, kidnapping, extortion, drug trafficking and everything.

The last is the United Self-Defense Forces, which are a right-wing armed group made up mainly of veterans. At one point, the group appeared in the name of assisting the government forces in the elimination of the revolutionary armed forces. But then they became involved in violent activities such as kidnappings and drug trafficking, which were eventually rejected by the Colombian government, and they simply broke the can.

In addition to them, there are countless small gangs in Colombia, and they have formed small drug trafficking organizations and kidnapping gangs based on family or geography.

It is also because of the existence of these people that the traveling security companies have the soil for development here.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and although the helicopter's searchlight was powerful, it could only see a curtain of white flowers, and it was completely impossible to see the ground.

Batistuta's eyes widened, carefully watching the ground for an open space. At this time, the light on the ground suddenly changed, and a range of lights lit up, forming a hexagonal shape, with a reflective H-shaped sign in the middle.

Batistuta breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The people below saw the plane and turned on the lights at the airport. ”

Zhou You said to Sanchez: "Wait and write down the staff on duty, double bonus this month." ”

The plane landed steadily, and when the propeller stopped, two security guards wearing security uniforms with umbrellas rushed out of the house, and when they saw the people sitting on the plane, the faces of the two people showed a smile of surprise.

Whether it's Zhou You, or Arango, or even Sanchez, their photos are remembered by these employees. At this time, seeing the company's top leader appear, excitement is inevitable.

After picking up the people on the plane twice, Batistuta locked the plane and rushed into the room, and in just a few tens of seconds, his clothes were all wet.

At this time, they had already been brewed with a cup of hot coffee, sat down at the table and enjoyed it.

Zhou You directly called Malulanda, here is still a hundred kilometers away from Florencia in a straight line, and there are still one hundred and forty kilometers by car, so heavy rain, it seems that the meeting will be postponed.

The arrival of the big boss of Zhou You not only alarmed the transportation and security departments, but even the general manager of the mine. They thought something big had happened, and they were relieved to know that they were only traveling around to hide from the rain.

Although it was not early, they quickly prepared a sumptuous dinner, but before they finished their trip, a convoy drove into the range of the security company, and when they saw Marulanda getting off the car, they were also surprised to travel.

He thought that this matter was that he was in a hurry, but he didn't expect that Marulanda seemed to be even more anxious than himself.

But also, they still have a choice, but the guerrillas have no choice at all. If they lose this opportunity for peace talks, they will have a few more poor days like this.

And now it is not like two years ago, when the guerrillas surrounded the capital and were at the peak of their power, but now, under the leadership of the tough Uribe and with the strong military support of the United States, the guerrillas are driven out of most of the cities.

Even with peace talks, the partisans will not have any advantage in the face of the tough Uribe.

Seeing their sumptuous dinner, Marulanda laughed. "Mr. Zhou, don't mind if we have something to eat together, we didn't bother to have dinner in order to come over."

"Of course, it's just that this is too rude, please wait, we will serve you a few new Chinese dishes."
