Chapter 228: Encounter

Out of trust in the organization, Ambassador Yang did not act like a gossip girl, but directly sent Zao Wou-Ki to the "chief military attaché" of the Military Attaché's Office.

The establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the exchange of ambassadors, and the establishment of embassies, does not necessarily mean that the two countries can also send military attaches to each other and set up military attachés at the same time. Among the embassies with military attache offices, the military attache office is a rather special office, a complete military organization, whose members are all active military personnel, and are divided into three categories: national defense attachés, military attachés of the three services, and deputy military attachés.

The National Defense Attaché and the Military Attache of the three services and below are often assigned deputy military attachés, and some military attachés will also have assistant military attachés and military attaché secretaries in the military attaché offices, and these officials serve as deputies and assistants to the national defense attaché and the military attache of the three services. The National Defense Attaché and the Military Attache of the three services are generally officers with the rank of lieutenant colonel or above, and some are appointed as lieutenant generals. However, the rank of military attaché often depends on the country to which it is stationed. The defense attachés who are sent to major countries must have a high rank, often major generals, and some lieutenant generals. Most of the military attaches assigned to medium-sized countries have the rank of colonel, and some are lieutenant colonels or even majors.

Zao Wou-Ki is a major general and fully qualified to serve as a deputy military attaché, of course, the person replaced by Zao Wou-Ki is a colonel and also has the conditions to serve as a deputy military attaché, so there is nothing to worry about at all.

Generally speaking, the main responsibilities of the Military Attache Office are four: first, to maintain diplomatic contacts with the stationed side in the capacity of a representative of the armed forces of the country, and to handle exchanges and negotiations between the two teams; Then there is the development of diplomatic and social activities with the political officials, members of the public and the diplomatic corps (mainly foreign military attachés); The second is to undertake or assist in military assistance, military training, military trade, military industrial cooperation, and military technology transfer in accordance with the agreements between the two countries and the instructions of the higher authorities. Finally, it is necessary to investigate the military-related situation by all lawful means and to report the situation directly or indirectly through the embassy to some of the relevant military departments of the sending country.

It is estimated that Zhang Peng and Tang Zhi are also out of consideration for the duties of military attachés, and let Zao Wou-Ki pretend to be someone else's identity, which is conducive to reaching people at a higher level and achieving their goals.

The term of office of a military attaché depends mainly on the needs and system of the sending country, and is generally 3-4 years. Military attachés generally have the same diplomatic rank as the embassy counselor, and enjoy diplomatic privileges and immunities, if something really happens, Tang Zhi can use immunity to get Zao Wou-Ki back, which can be described as well-intentioned, but Zao Wou-Ki doesn't understand these and can't feel this painstaking effort.

According to the relevant provisions of international law and international practice, after the military attache arrives at the embassy, he can only perform his mission after meeting with the competent department stationed in the first party.

When there are several military attaches in the same embassy, the military attache of national defence or a military attache of a particular service shall serve as the "chief military attaché". With a "chief military attaché" in front, Tang Zhi and Zhang Peng did not have to worry about Zao Wou-Ki doing anything that would damage diplomatic etiquette, nor did they have to worry that Zao Wou-Ki was not familiar with business.

The "chief military attaché" is surnamed Cheng, called Cheng Yi, 38 years old, with the rank of major general, subordinate to the General Staff Department of the Military Commission, an active-duty soldier, a red princeling who has climbed up step by step from the grassroots level, with strong roots and outstanding ability, and is the only person who is completely clear about the organization and sent Zao Wou-Ki over.

Cheng Yi can also be regarded as a qualified soldier, in the military region's big competition, the comprehensive ratio of various skills is the top three, and the three abilities of fighting, firearms, and reconnaissance are among the best, and he is a real "king of soldiers"; of course, these are all achievements in the army, and after serving as the "chief military attaché", he still falls behind somewhat.

After seeing Zao Wou-ki, Cheng Yi was somewhat disappointed, remembering what Tang Zhi said in the phone call in person, combined with the actual situation, Cheng Yi couldn't believe it, this person is a master, a master who can catch "cyborgs" alive, how is it possible?

Doubts are doubts, Cheng Yi still reciprocated with enthusiasm, greeted Zao Wou-ki, and introduced Zao Wou-Ki to his colleagues in the same room, everyone is in a room, and they are all in a foreign country, naturally they are very enthusiastic, except for Cheng Yi, no one thought that the person in front of him was an impostor.

Even Cheng Yi was surprised, the person who was replaced, Cheng Yi, knew and had seen it, and it was still from a military region, and he was very puzzled, how did the two people look so similar, could they be twins?

After the reception, Zao Wou-Ki took a book of materials given to him by Cheng Yi and took Lin Yu back to the apartment to rest, the information was about his work responsibilities and precautions.

After a cursory look, Zao Wou-Ki's responsibilities are divided into two categories, one is to assist Cheng Yi in using all legal means to investigate military-related situations, and the other is to carry out diplomatic and social activities with political officials, social figures and diplomatic missions (mainly foreign military attachés), these two functions are exactly what Zao Wou-Ki needs, and obviously, they are also deliberately arranged organizationally.

When I first came to country M, I pretended to be someone else as a deputy military attache for the first time, everything was new, Zao Wou-Ki was not in a hurry, I was familiar with the environment and responsibilities, and besides, I had to do a full set of dramas, didn't I? Let Wolf bounce for a few more days.

A few days later, Zao Wou-Ki went to the relevant departments of country M, which was regarded as a report and went through some relevant procedures, and his true anger changed his appearance, plus it was originally similar to the photo, no one doubted Zao Wouji's identity.

In the past few days, I have basically become familiar with the environment around the embassy and my own work responsibilities, and I have also gained some understanding of the country's national conditions.

On this day, Cheng Yi informed Zao Wou-Ki that he would attend a cocktail party with him in the evening, which was organized by the relevant units of the M** affairs department, mainly for liaison and exchanges with ambassadors and military attachés of various countries, which was regarded as a routine cocktail party.

Zao Wou-Ki first went back to the apartment and said hello to Lin Yu, this kind of semi-formal occasion, Lin Yu is not suitable to participate, Lin Yu told Zao Wou-Ki to be careful, he went to practice by himself, he was not familiar with life, and Lin Yu did not want to go out and walk around, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, Zao Wou-Ki sat in the back seat of the car arranged by the embassy, and Cheng Yi sat next to him, Cheng Yi told him some precautions, closed his eyes and went to recuperate, in Cheng Yi's opinion, it must be an exaggeration in China, no matter how the person in front of him looks ordinary, how can he be a grandmaster-level master? The younger brother of the gentleman is about the same.

Cheng Yi, who had lost interest, didn't pay much attention to Zao Wou-Ki anymore, and was thinking about what excuse to send him back, so as not to cause trouble for himself, as for Zao Wou-ki's mission, Cheng Yi only knew that he was here to assassinate individuals, and as for who it was, Cheng Yi didn't know, and the organization only explained to provide the necessary cooperation and support.

Zao Wou-Ki is also happy to be quiet, two people with different paths, the intersection is also fate, can't rub out any sparks, just go on parallel rails, each go their own way, unconsciously, the car stopped at the door of a hotel.

After getting off the car with Cheng Yi, he walked into the door of the hotel, the master of ceremonies came to serve, and after handing over the invitation, everyone followed the master of ceremonies to a hall on the second floor, the hall is full of thousands of square meters, the decoration is luxurious, and a blonde and blue-eyed beauty is talking about the piano next to the gate.

There were already a lot of people in the hall, talking in small and low voices, people of all colors and races, all men dressed in formal clothes, women all dressed in evening dresses, all with relaxed expressions, occasionally reserved and a few laughs, and the waiters shuttled among them, holding wine glasses that poured red wine in their hands.

Cheng Yi took two glasses of red wine from the tray of the waiter passing by, handed a glass to Zao Wou-ki, and whispered: "Just order it casually, if you meet someone to talk to, just call it and deal with it." ”

A few people who knew Cheng Yi well came over and joked with a salty and non-salty joke: "Cheng, you didn't bring a female companion, this will make many beauties sad." ”

"Mr. Jones, you're still so humorous, and I'm glad to see you." Cheng Yi responded politely.

Zao Wou-Ki quietly shrank to the back and found an inconspicuous position to sit down, the reason why Zao Wou-Ki agreed to Cheng Yi to come here was of course for Wolf, as for the others, Zao Wou-Ki must be interested.

There are more and more people in the hall, some brightly dressed beauties shuttle through the crowd, clinking glasses with people from time to time, saying hello, talking about what topic, as if everyone in the hall knows each other, and it looks very pleasant.

Zao Wou-Ki quietly looked at everything in the hall, this kind of occasion made people feel very hypocritical, very depressed, not used to it at all, just put on his prepared big sunglasses, slowly tasted wine, like a bodyguard, no one cared too much.

This is a vanity fair, and it is also a battlefield without gunsmoke, the protagonists are all fighting openly and secretly in the field, and those sitting on the side are insignificant characters.

A few courtesans paid attention to Zao Wou-ki, but none of them came up to talk to him, who he didn't follow, and if he wanted to follow, he had to follow someone with identity and status, so come here, follow a bodyguard, and don't mix it up.

So, Zao Wou-Ki was too lazy to calm down and appreciate the worldly state on this occasion, enjoying it, sipping red wine, and suddenly found that there were a few people walking at the door of the hall, and the leader was a little familiar, and he couldn't help but be stunned, you can meet acquaintances here, it's impossible.

Zao Wou-Ki took off his sunglasses and took a closer look, wasn't that Worf? Mediterranean hairstyle, with a flesh mole on it, a very distinctive image shape, won't it be a stand-in again? Zao Wou-Ki hurriedly put on his sunglasses, pretending not to know, and planned to take a look.

I didn't expect to be able to meet Wolf here and attend this kind of occasion, it should be true, using a stand-in to come here for diplomacy, I'm afraid it will be a big political event, it's purely looking for death, it shouldn't be fake.

Thinking of this, Zao Wou-Ki was excited, quietly put on white gloves, pinched a few coins in his hand, and was ready to find a chance to do it, so many, and they were all diplomats, even if they killed Wolf here, the government of country M would not dare to make a big investigation, it was a country that offended almost the entire world.

The opportunity is rare, Zao Wou-Ki adjusted his state, looking for opportunities, the few coins in his hand are all local coins, there are no fingerprints, there is no need to worry about leaving clues.

Just thinking about it, Zao Wou-Ki saw that Wolf was surrounded by people and walked into a private room next to him, and he didn't have a chance to do it at all, but it didn't matter, as long as he appeared, there was always a chance, and Zao Wou-Ki still had this patience.

At this time, Cheng Yi came over, "What are you doing here?" Not planning to get to know everyone? ”
