Chapter 824: Tragedy

Zhou Hua walked to the eaves of the pavilion with his back hand, facing the sparkling lake reflected in the Chinese lanterns, and said: "You don't want to see him, maybe he wants to see you, President Abdullah has made a request to our country, hoping to come to the East China Sea to visit the headquarters of the Minghua Foundation, don't you think it has anything to do with your old friend?"

Lin Zixian said indifferently: "A warlord has a nominal president, where can there be so many problems, I don't think Qiao Yun has to agree."

Zhou Hua turned around, slapped a hand on Lin Zixian's shoulder and said, "Qiao Yun agreed." After saying that, he left with a smile.

Lin Zi stood silently and frowned......

Montessori Hotel, Paris, France, the hotel where Somali President Abdullah stayed. Although Abdullah is only the president of a small and poor country in name only, the French government has stepped up its security against it.

Rom, the president of the Watson Group, who has become a Somali citizen and is now the chief economic and development adviser to the Somali president, was dining with Meng Zidan, the general manager of the hotel, in a very good atmosphere.

It can be seen that Monzidan's affection is not bad, because Mr. Rohm has made a generous decision to make the Montessori Hotel the designated hotel for Watson Group employees to come to Paris.

After dinner, Meng Zidan personally sent Roma to the door of the room where he was staying, and after a friendly conversation, he shook hands and said goodbye.

When Röhm entered the room, Johnny, who was standing behind the door, closed the door and followed him and asked, "How do you feel?"

He asked how Rohm felt about Meng Zidan after he made official contact with Meng Zidan.

Rom pulled the tie around his neck, tossed it aside, and smiled, "I think Caesar fell in love with her charming long legs, and she was beautiful, but I didn't see anything outstanding about her."

This is his evaluation after contact with Meng Zidan, if Meng Zidan hears it, I am afraid that it will not be very pleasant.

The topic didn't seem to be worth going any further, he sat down in the soft chair and took the cigar from Johnny, lit it, took a hard puff, and asked faintly, "How are things?"

"It's ready." Johnny replied, then hesitated, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Roma's cheeks with a thick golden beard slowly wrapped around his cigar, his eyes looked at the neon outside the window, which looked a little deep, and said slowly: "On the way forward, someone will fall, and someone will have to make sacrifices...... Let's do it."

Johnny nodded, quickly turned away, and when he reached the door, he glanced back at Rom, his lips tensed, and helped him turn off the lights in the room, because he knew that Mr. would want to be alone in the dark for a while.

As the door closed, two lines of tears slipped from the corners of Rom's eyes and flowed down to his thick, flat-cut golden beard, the tears hanging from his beard shining brightly against the light outside the window. Sitting like a statue, he slowly closed his eyes, and his shoulders trembled and he sobbed as hard as he could, as if he had lost his beloved...... The weakness behind the strong world of men

Not long after nightfall in Paris, a tragedy occurred in the ghetto, where the wandering gypsies clashed with the local residents, coinciding with the passing police. However, when the police learned the identities of both parties, they seemed to be quite disgusted by this group of gypsies who were not officially registered, and almost without asking for the reason, they hurled insults at them and beat them.

This immediately angered the Gypsies who had gathered in the area, and the two policemen surrounded them, as a result of which the two policemen brazenly drew their guns and opened fire on the crowd on the spot. Twenty-six people collapsed in pools of blood, including five children under the age of ten.

The two policemen ran away, and the gypsies in the ghetto wept bitterly over the bodies of the five children, and endless grief and anger permeated the entire ghetto.

The media soon received news clues from anonymous phone calls, and when the media rushed to grab the news, thousands of gypsies seeking justice gathered to carry the corpse in a procession.

Some of them took the opportunity to stir up rebellion and incite public anger and retaliation, so the protest march for justice turned into smashing, looting and burning of local residents......

When the news media broadcast live, the TV screen showed a group of blast police officers suppressing the rioters, shields, riot batons, tear gas, and water cannons......

Back in their hotel room, Johnny and Rohm stared at the news in silence, breathing heavily.

Before the next day, it was night, and the whole of Paris was in an uproar because of this.

The next day, the local residents of the Authentic Sect also gathered to protest the march because of the huge losses, and the people continued to join the procession, and the people protested one after another, demanding that the government punish the murderers of the smashing and looting and expel the Gypsies.

In fact, not only in France, but also in the eyes of the whole of Europe, the Gypsies were incompatible with their way of life, and they could not integrate into the mainstream society, and they had a very bad impression of them. In their eyes, the Gypsies are beggars, thieves, robbers and traffickers, lazy urban outcasts, the most uncertain factor in the city's security, which not only affects the city's appearance, but also threatens everyone's property.

The smashing, looting and burning incident completely angered the citizens of Paris, and the wave of protests to put pressure on the government grew stronger, and strongly demanded the expulsion of the Gypsies. At this time, no one cared how the twenty-six gypsies died, because they did not have their own homeland, no homeland to rule for themselves.

In fact, similar protests are often held in European countries, but they have never been on such a large scale before.

President Abdullah, who was staying at the hotel, received an apology from French President Bruce to postpone the morning meeting until the afternoon.

Such a thing happened in Paris, and President Abdullah understood it and agreed to the postponement of the talks.

After Bruce's messenger left, Rom quickly entered Abdullah's room and watched the news on the TV with Mr. President, pointing to the TV from time to time, and talking to Mr. President.

In the afternoon, Abdullah and his entourage entered the Elysée Palace directly, and were not greeted by a large number of reporters and flashing lights. The welcoming ceremony was already held yesterday when I arrived, and today is a closed-door meeting, and there is no need to sit in front of the media and pretend to be seen by the public, and the closed-door meeting is the time to really discuss and talk about business.

After the guests and hosts sat across the oval table, everyone quickly got straight to the point after a polite exchange.

In fact, for France, there is nothing to talk about with Abdullah, Bruce is depressed, you, the president, can't even actually represent the whole of Somalia, run out and visit wèn whatever, waste my time.

Somalia is known for nothing more than piracy, and Bruce politely asked Abdullah to step up the fight against piracy and protect the safety of French ships. Abdullah naturally agreed, he agreed happily, but Bruce smiled shyly, those pirates belong to warlords from all sides, plus the guerrillas of the sea poors who are trying to make a living, it's no wonder that your strength can be guaranteed.

Bruce then made a request for Abdullah's mineral resources in the Somali sphere of influence, and Abdullah perfunctorily demanded economic and technical assistance from France. The two sides bargained in a see-saw manner, and the unpleasant result had long been expected by Bruce, but he could make a little calculation, and as for the aid requested by the other party, he excused himself from the fact that the country was currently in an economic crisis, and agreed a little.

Just as the talks were about to end, Abdullah suddenly came to a sideline, "Mr. President, I wonder how you handled the violence that happened last night?"

Bruce was speechless, my little riot and the warlord melee you have there are just a big deal, you don't care whether your own power is not guaranteed, but you are upset, and immediately smiled: "Thank you Mr. President, I think we will handle it properly."

Abdullah said: "Mr. President, I think you have misunderstood me, I have no intention of interfering in your internal affairs, I just think that our government may be able to help your country solve this problem."

Paralyzed, are you playing with me? Bruce replied faintly, "I'm listening."

Abdullah spread his hands and said: "If your government really responds to the call of the general public to expel the Gypsies from the country, our country is willing to accept them."

These words suddenly surprised Bruce, turned back left and right, and looked at each other with a group of staff members who accompanied him, and some even flashed with joy in their eyes.

At a time when the French people were angry about the smashing and looting, it was a big headache for Bruce and others, and of course they wanted to win public opinion to expel those displaced people. However, I don't know how many governments have wanted to do this but have not done it, the key is where do you expel people?

It's easy to talk about deportation, but these people don't have a motherland at all, which country do you want to expel to? If you are expelled to other countries, other countries will not accept them, and people will still want to expel you, and you will not want to exchange them, and this is not to expel one or two people, but a large number of people. But if you stay in the country, and the people don't agree, you can't slaughter so many people, right?

Well, a pie suddenly fell from the sky, and a stupid hat came out to receive it. But Bruce was quite skeptical about this, how can there be such a good thing, your own people can't even eat, can you feed so many people all of a sudden?

As he pondered, the staff on the left and right were already quickly writing on the paper in front of him, and soon the reference opinions were quickly concentrated in his hands. There is no way, this is a temporary issue, and Bruce is not prepared at all, so he can only come in an emergency.

After Bruce read them one by one, he nodded slightly, looked up and asked, "Mr. President, I want to know what you are doing with these people?" It would be against humanity to force them into your army to replenish them and fight against the warlords. ”

The latter words are pure nonsense, if you really care so much, you will not be expelled, the focus is on the previous issue. What's more, the spirit of humanitarianism is just talking, and there is no meaning of not agreeing in the words, as long as you have a suitable excuse, we can really think about it.
