Chapter 430
All the Chinese officials present were very stunned when they saw that Du Le's attitude suddenly became so tough. They didn't understand why Du Le's attitude would change 180 degrees all at once.
Among them, the most difficult to understand is General Zhang. I saw that his eyebrows were deep, because he thought more and had more doubts. Because of Du Le's reaction, it clearly showed that he was not lying, let alone joking. This discovery made General Zhang's original words stuck in his mouth, and some doubts passed through his heart.
General Zhang is not ignorant of the truth, there are always some high-ranking political officials in China, and what they like to do most on weekdays is to hide from their superiors and deceive their subordinates. There are many things that are not exposed by the media and cause huge repercussions, and these officials tend to cover them selectively. They seem to think that as long as the lid is covered and the matter is suppressed, it means that these things have not happened, and the treatment that should be done is not enough.
After seeing Du Le's tough statement, General Zhang suddenly associated the rice incident in the island country with the consistent practices of these corrupt officials.
"This" The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Trade of China hesitated slightly, with such a big responsibility, of course they did not dare to refute Du Le strongly, and angered Du Le and the island country. Otherwise, if Du Le really got angry and raised these things to such a high political level, they would not be able to cut off their heads. But if Du Le just puts on a high posture and they show weakness, it will also damage the image of China.
For a while, these officials, who had not received a clear order, looked at each other and did not dare to act rashly for the time being.
DΓΌle took a sip of tea. smiled and said to General Zhang: "What's the use of saying so much. Although our island nation is small and has a small population, not everyone can bully it. Moreover, I believe that everyone here can understand the seriousness of this matter now. On the other hand, if someone sells poisoned rice to your country, will you still appreciate it and accept it without resisting? Do you still have to give money? General Zhang, do you think there is such a reason? β
General Zhang's face suddenly became ugly. Despite the smile on Doole's face. The tone also seemed to be very polite and relaxed, but what Du Le meant, didn't he mean that Hua Guo was bullying? The words are bone-like, and the sentences are thorny.
When General Zhang heard this, he was naturally displeased in his heart. But he has a lot to do. It's not easy to show your anger for a while. Anyway. Du Le has changed the world, and this time he has always been a foreign guest. And he is the person in charge of the reception. Bullying guests from afar is really not a glorious thing.
Compared to Du Le, General Zhang is not young, he is already in his forties. However, in China, it is not easy to become a major general in his forties, and it is obviously still promising.
General Zhang is not completely ignorant of the thoughts of his superiors, the top leadership of Huaguo attaches great importance to the cooperative relationship with the island countries, and General Zhang does not want to make any mistakes in his own place.
Therefore, General Zhang gave a sharp glance at the official of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. It's all to blame for his talking, and he actually ran out to stir up trouble, which led to such an embarrassing situation and made him so dilemma. However, General Zhang had forgotten that when the foreign trade official spoke just now, General Zhang himself adopted a tacit attitude and did not say anything to stop it.
In order to calm Du Le's emotions, relieve the embarrassing situation between the two sides, and avoid this sensitive topic, General Zhang immediately asked the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Trade to leave the reception room in front of Du Le.
"I'm sorry, General Du, but it was my negligence." General Zhang apologized to Du Ledao.
"In fact, the governments of island countries also sincerely hope that they can establish long-term friendly relations with China." Du Le laughed. Since the other party's attitude has softened, and he didn't come this time for the rice incident, he will naturally not be aggressive anymore, and when it is time to slow down, it is better to give the other party a way out.
When General Zhang heard that he knew that Du Le did not mean to make trouble in the international community, which also proved that his attitude had slowed down, he hurriedly seized the opportunity and said: "The same is true of Huaguo. General Du, after a long journey, it must have been very hard, and we have prepared a comfortable room for you. Otherwise, please take a good rest first, and we'll talk about the rest later. β
"I've been sitting on the plane for so long, I'm really tired." Du Le nodded.
Under the arrangement of the reception staff in Huaguo, Du Le and his party stayed at the state guesthouse in the capital city of Huaguo.
The state guesthouse in Huaguo is not a kind of hotel. On the contrary, it is completely not open to ordinary people, the ancient royal garden style combined with the modern star hotel style, the state guest house complex. The target of the service will only be foreigners from various countries who visit China as a place for them to stay and hold meetings.
Therefore, the whole state guesthouse is not exactly like a five-star hotel, there are not only a few buildings here, just relying on the magnificence and eye-catching, plus the royal gardens, pavilions and pavilions, reflecting the style of classical Chinese architecture, but also adding a strong quiet and elegant taste.
The State Guesthouse, which has a history of nearly 100 years, has received countless presidents, kings and prime ministers from all over the world, and can be described as a place that attracts the attention of the world.
"Tomorrow's itinerary: In the morning, we will go to the Huaguo Capital Military Region to see the weapons and equipment of the Huaguo. In the afternoon, the vice chairman of the Chinese Military Commission will hold a welcome banquet." Du Le sat in the hotel of the state guesthouse, listening to the content of the itinerary arranged by the attachΓ© of the government of the island country and the Chinese side.
As he listened, he pondered. He went to China not just for the sake of visiting. In addition to announcing his official status, Du Le also hopes to get more support in China. For example, China and PICs can form a strategic partnership and cooperate in the military field.
Although the air command of the island nation has taken shape, space fighters can be put into use, and the officers and men of the air force have mature combat qualities, this air command is not without weaknesses, because there are only a few dozen truly qualified space fighter pilots. In a future war, it is obviously not enough to rely on only a handful of combat pilots as the main attackers.
But. The population of the island country is too small, and the selection of fighter pilots is also very strict. Not only can they be competent in terms of physical fitness, but they must also be able to withstand it mentally and mentally. Moreover, in order to train a qualified fighter pilot, various training conditions are also extremely demanding. So, it's definitely not an easy thing to do.
Although, the virtual online game "Campaign" can train a group of pilots within the sphere, but always beginner pilots. In the team of Earth Space Fighters, a group of qualified soldiers is needed. Only with the strength of the backbone can we integrate and organize a strong force.
So. Du Le's intentions. It is to cooperate with the Chinese government to train a group of qualified space fighter pilots and increase the strength of the earth, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort.
Or allow the Island Nation Air Command to recruit cadets in China. Or the Chinese military. Send Air Force pilots. Carry out exchange activities to get their island countries to participate in training.
But Du Le also has some concerns, and he feels that the Chinese military may not agree. A large number of air force pilots were sent to the island nation. People are the most important resource because human resources are the most important resources. Senior pilots or fighter pilots with high skills are indispensable and highly sought-after in any country in the world. Moreover, Du Le has not yet demonstrated the extraordinary strength of the space fighter to the Chinese military, and it will definitely be difficult to convince the Chinese military.
Therefore, it is relatively more likely that pilot students will be recruited from China to island countries. As long as the Chinese government does not stop it, it can go abroad by studying abroad and arrange for the recruited flight cadets to go to the island country.
After listening to the itinerary, Du Le waved his hand to let the entourage leave. According to the itinerary, Du Le has free time this afternoon and evening. Luckily, there is still time to relax before getting down to business.
Although it was not the first time that Du Le had been to the capital, the feeling of being in China this time was different from the previous one. He had no interest in visiting the capital's places of interest. The only thing that interests me is the food.
When he settled in the state guesthouse, the Chinese escort was probably to let Du Leming understand the importance of the Chinese side to his arrival, and they had already introduced the state guesthouse to Du Le.
The royal chef of the State Guesthouse is a national chef, and what he is best at is cooking all kinds of exquisite and rare state banquet dishes. Du Le was very interested in this.
It is important to know that China has a civilization of thousands of years, and their food culture naturally has a long history, and there are countless well-known dishes.
However, before Du Le made his fortune, he was just an ordinary Chinese, and he really hadn't tasted a few famous Chinese dishes. After making his fortune, he often traveled to other countries, busy, and rarely had the opportunity to taste famous dishes.
Du Le looked at the introduction in the room, logged on to the website, and checked the pictures of the dishes in the restaurant of the State Guesthouse. Suddenly, it aroused his great appetite, and he immediately became interested in eating.
Du Le looked at the Huaguo time on his phone, and it was 2:33 p.m. at this time. According to Du Le's understanding, at this time, it is already past lunchtime, and the chef may have left work.
However, Du Le still has some expectations and wants to taste the food of the State Guesthouse now.
Du Le called the service line of the State Guesthouse and asked the operator if the restaurant at the State Guesthouse was still open.
The operator immediately replied, informing Du Le that the Chinese restaurant at the State Guesthouse was open for business. As a resident, Du Le can send a menu by the housekeeping department. After Du Le ordered, the restaurant waiter took him directly to his room.
Du Le put down the phone and thought for a moment.
At present, the personnel of the visiting delegation of the island countries are either officers of the island countries or government officials, and they obey Du Le's words. But Du Le was not familiar with them, so he did not want to go to the restaurant with the people from the delegation.
Du Le decided to go to the restaurant alone to eat, and it seemed quieter.
The State Guesthouse is a little far from the restaurant. However, at the entrance of the guest room building of the State Guesthouse, there is a special tram to pick you up. Dooler doesn't have to waste too much time either.
Along the way, Du Le enjoyed the beautiful garden scenery for a few minutes, and had a little understanding of the inner luxury of the state guesthouse.
Although Du Le did not bring members of the visiting delegation of the island country, the Chinese side still arranged two bodyguards to take care of his safety. However, the two bodyguards did not follow closely. Nor was Du Le disgusted with them.
Du Le was surprised to see that the restaurant was an antique building. Standing at the door, the humanistic atmosphere of ancient China came to my face.
Du Le walked into the restaurant. Only to find out that the restaurant of the State Guesthouse was not deserted.
This is a box-style Chinese restaurant, with 30 private rooms, all separated by opaque carved glass, forming an independent dining room. And between the boxes, there is a certain distance between them, and they do not interfere with each other.
Du Le could see that the sound insulation of the box was very good. He also walked up and down the aisles of the restaurant from the waiter at the door, or with a plate. I saw it.
Du Le just walked into the restaurant. Immediately, a delicate waitress with a badge greeted her, showed a sweet smile, and said, "Sir, have you reserved a seat?" The State Guesthouse is also open to the public. But it is a target of the business. The same is not an ordinary person.
"I don't have an appointment." Dule said.
"So. Do you have a common private room where you have a meal with several guests? The waiter continued to smile and asked.
"First time. It's just me. Dule replied.
When the waitress heard this, she smiled undiminished and said, "Hello, guest, please come with me." β
The waitress was in front, leading Du Le into the restaurant.
Soon, after she took Du Le and stopped in a box next to the aisle inside. She opened the door to the box and asked, "Is this box okay?" β
Du Le was about to walk in the door, but a man came in front of the aisle. Du Le glanced at it, felt very familiar, and hurriedly took a closer look.
"Second brother!" Du Le exclaimed in surprise. He recognized it, it was his brother in the bedroom, Xia Shu.
Xia Shu lowered his head slightly, and was just about to pass by Du Le, when he heard Du Le's call, raised his head, and recognized Du Le.
"Third child, why are you here too?" Xia Shu was pleasantly surprised and said.
"Isn't this a restaurant? I'm hungry, so I'm here to eat. Du Le replied with a smile.
"Came with a friend?" Xia Shu looked left and right and asked.
"No, I'm alone. Second brother, have you eaten enough? Or eat some with me. Du Le said with a smile.
When Xia Shu heard this, he didn't refuse, and responded, "It's good!" But first, I'll have to entertain our leaders. You wait a minute, I'll come over right away and talk to you again. β
When Du Le heard Xia Shu's explanation, he expressed his understanding and said, "Okay! When you have time, you will come. But it doesn't matter, the work matters. Here, I'm in for a treat and have a big meal! β
"Boy, it's a big deal! Aren't you afraid that I will eat you? Hehe, you serve the food first. Don't eat too quickly, I'll be over later. Xia Shu finished with a smile and turned to leave.
Du Le didn't expect to see his university dormitory brothers in the State Guesthouse, and he was very happy.
Entering the box, Du Le ordered more than a dozen signature dishes of the State Guesthouse to the delicate waitress, and asked the waiter to serve two bottles of state banquet wine, waiting for Xia Shu.
Xia Shu didn't let Du Le wait too long, and in about ten minutes, he came back.
Xia Shu couldn't help but hug Du Le when he saw it.
The two separated and sat down, and Du Le asked, "Second brother, why are you also in the State Guesthouse, what are you busy with?" β
"Alas, recently there was a delegation from a small Southeast Asian country, and I was one of the people in charge of reception." Xia Shu sighed and said.
"Reception? Tired? Du Le was a little puzzled, and slowly remembered that Xia Shu had told him that he worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.
"Tired! All day long, I was commanded by the leader to run! Xia Shu said with a tired expression.
"Which country are you responsible for hosting?" Doolaze paused and asked.
"Island nation in Southeast Asia. It's a hassle! Recently, our country seems to have a little trade dispute with them. The main task of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to eliminate trade disputes between the two countries as much as possible. Gotta slap them! Xia Shu responded. Seeing that Du Le was about to pour wine, he hurriedly put the wine glass aside and said, "I am also a government worker now, and I can't drink alcohol during work, please forgive me." β
"Second brother, don't be so polite." Hearing this, Du Le put down the wine bottle, and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's not that I can't understand, but I'm a little angry when I say this." β
Xia Shu was stunned when he heard this, and said embarrassedly: "Oh, after coming out to work, I got used to saying honorifics more. β
Xia Shu noticed more than a dozen Chinese dishes on the table, was surprised, and said, "Third child, are you really rich?" The food here is not cheap. β
"Don't worry, I've got money." Du Le laughed.
"You've got a lot of money." Xia Shu replied.
"Have you eaten enough in front of the leader, if you are not full, eat a little more with me." Dule said.
"Okay Lak, I'll give you face, eat some." Xia Shu said with a smile.
"It's so embarrassing, then don't eat it." Du Le stretched out his hand and was about to take away the dishes and chopsticks in front of Xia Shu.
Xia Shu hurriedly stopped and said, "I'm not embarrassed at all when I eat." β
The two of them laughed.
"Didn't you run a company in the South? How to come to the capital, don't contact me! Xia Shu blamed.
"Second brother, I'm sorry." Du Ledao said apologetically.
"Forget it, forget it." Xia Shu picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of steamed fish, put it in his mouth, and said with an intoxicated face, "The taste of this fish is not bad, it's rare to come to the State Guesthouse, let's taste it." β
Du Le felt quite funny and asked, "Second brother, you are the reception staff of the island country visiting delegation, why didn't I see you at the airport today?" β
When Xia Shu heard this, he asked strangely, "You are also at the scene?" Then, he suddenly realized and asked himself, "You are also one of the reception staff?" Huaguo Business Representative? β
"No, I am one of the members of the island delegation." Dule replied.
Xia Shu looked at Du Le in surprise, and said for a while: "You are one of the members of the island country visiting group, and you have emigrated?" β
"Sort of." Dule replied.
"How can businessmen have a little money, they all want to emigrate to foreign countries." Xia Shu said puzzled.
Du Le smiled bitterly, he really didn't know how to explain it.
Xia Shu then asked, "What is your position in the visiting delegation?" Can you talk? β
"I am the Chief of the General Staff of the Air Command of the Island State, with the rank of Major General, and the head of the visiting delegation of the Island State this time."
Xia Shu was startled, and the chopsticks in his hand fell on the table. He looked at Du Le in astonishment, not knowing what to say. (To be continued......)
