Chapter 407: Ambassadors Abroad
At noon three days later, [Chinese Embassy in Somalia]
A middle-aged man with a dark complexion but full of energy walked down the stairs with open arms: "Oops~ Old Tang!" Hahaha... If you don't come again, our base will fall into a resource shortage. ”
Tang Zhengming also opened his arms, stepped forward and patted the middle-aged man's shoulder, and said unceremoniously: "If you will also fall into a resource shortage here, then I am afraid that the world's consulates will fall into a resource shortage, to be honest!" ”
The middle-aged man smiled for a moment, "To be honest? ”
Tang Zhengming nodded with a smile: "Tell the truth!" ”
"Uh..." After being stunned for a few breaths, the middle-aged man suddenly laughed even more heartily, and led Tang Zhengming inside: "To be honest, I am worried about the hometown food of our motherland!" Hahahaha... Come! I'll take you first..."
Tang Zhengming interrupted him and said, "Eh! Look at your urgency, what's the matter... We have to wait for the soldiers to put all the supplies into the warehouse, and then let's talk slowly! Don't worry, I'm going to keep him for ten and a half more days this time... Eh, keep him for three, five days, three, five days! ”
"Three or five days? Seriously? ”
"Look at what you say, it must be true!"
"Hahaha...", the middle-aged man seemed to see Liang Youtian, Sui Yi and Tang Xin behind Tang Zhengda, and suddenly joked: "Yo! Old Don, there are you! This time I actually brought such a good bodyguard. Say it! Which company's talents are these people, and they all seem to be excellent!! ”
Without waiting for Tang Zhengda's introduction, Liang Youtian took the initiative to step forward and said: "Dragon Protector Commando, Liang Youtian, fortunately!" ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, "Oh?!" It's still the Dragon Protector Commando, fortunately! I am the secretary of the Chinese Embassy in Somalia, and my name is Zhang Xuliang. As he spoke, he stepped forward and stretched out his right hand.
"Those two..."
Glancing back, Liang Youtian slowly withdrew his hand and said, "The junior in the commando, Secretary Zhang smiled." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Xuliang nodded to Sui Yi and Tang Xin, turned around and stretched out his hand and said, "Come in, although the sun in this Somalia is not as big as Sudan and Kuwait, it is also bigger than our own sun." It's been a long time, and it's really uncomfortable. Let's go, I'll take you to meet Bureau Li, these two days... He's keeping an eye on Mogadishu! ”
Speaking of Mogadishu, Tang Zhengming remembered one person: "Eh, Lao Zhang! Saying... Have you ever seen anything about pirates in the news before? ”
"Pirates?" Zhang Xuliang turned his head and said: "There is such news, but I can't remember the specific situation." Ha ha... Maybe the news was too small for me to ignore. You know, in Somalia, there is a lack of everything, but there is no shortage of pirates, bandits, and rebellions. How? You've encountered pirates too? ”
"Hmm..."Nodding solemnly, Tang Zhengda replied: "And at that time, there was a young man on my boat who lost contact with us for this. ”
"That's right..."After frowning and thinking about it, Zhang Xuliang suggested: "Otherwise, I'll discuss it with Li Ju later, and see if I can ask the Somali government about the latest information about piracy." ”
"Is that okay?"
"Hey! What's wrong with this, it's just to ask for relevant information, and it's not for them to chase down pirates or something, don't worry! As long as that kid on your boat is alive, we're sure we'll find someone. Ah, it's here! Haha..."
Following the direction of Zhang Xuliang's finger, this is the office of the ambassador stationed abroad, and this is clearly the collective dormitory of the soldiers stationed abroad. And the so-called [Ambassador Abroad] and [Director Li] are wearing a white shirt at this time, cleaning the corridor for the soldiers stationed abroad!
"This..."
"Haha!" Patting Liang Youtian on the shoulder with a smile, Tang Zhengda explained: "It's good to get used to it, let's be Director Li, and we'll be here at noon." The rest of the time, he spends his time in the office dealing with foreign affairs or meeting with foreign leaders or other important people. ”
"But this..."
Zhang Xuliang explained: "Director Li has a small habit, he likes to come to the soldiers' dormitories after dinner to walk around, or sweep the floor, or irrigate water. Hehe... As Old Tang said, it's good to get used to it. After speaking, he stepped forward and took the broom and dustpan in Director Li's hand, and said with a smile: "Bureau Li, Old Tang is here." Let me sweep it here! ”
In other words, Director Li was not polite, and he really handed over the broom and dustpan to him.
"Oh, are you here?" Turning his head to look at the end of the corridor, he walked to one of the dormitories, and after taking off the clothes he had temporarily taken off there, he greeted Zhang Xuliang unhurriedly: "Okay, I'm done sweeping." Come to my office together. ”
"Stampede..."Stepping on a pair of shiny black leather shoes, Director Li walked out and said, "Old Tang! We... I haven't seen you for half a year! ”
Although Director Li seems to be very talkative, Tang Zhengda knows very well in his heart that this is a deputy director-level cadre. (Division, department, and bureau at the same level, "bureau" is temporarily used here)
Therefore, the other party can be polite, but he does not dare to lose his manners. Taking half a step back, he leaned against the wall and said with a smile, "Hehe, I didn't expect Li Ju to remember it so clearly." If I'm not mistaken, it's half a month away. ”
Looking at his respect, Director Li smiled helplessly: "Hehe, you, you!" Forehead... These people are..."
Zhang Xuliang, who caught up, said: "Ah, this is Master Liang Youtian of the 'Dragon Guardian Commando'. The other two are Sui Yi and Tang Xin. They were the security personnel in charge of Don's voyage. ”
"Oh? Dragonguard Commando? Hehe... Fortunately! ”
"Hehe, we're the ones who are..."
After introducing each other, Tang Zhengda, Liang Youtian and others finally came to the place where the ambassadors abroad handled official business. Don't look at the fact that this embassy only has seven floors, but it is a large base that includes more than a dozen departments such as the Government Affairs Office, the Military Attache Office, the Business Staff Office, the Education Office, the Cultural Office, and the Science and Technology Office, and hundreds of people.
Ambassadors, whose full names are "Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary", are ministers, counsellors, military attachés, secretaries, chargé d'affaires a.i., attachés, etc. Counsellors are divided into minister-level counsellors, political counsellors, commercial counsellors, economic counsellors, cultural counsellors, education counsellors, etc. Of course, the specific positions will be determined according to the situation and the needs of the station. As for the secretary, military attaché, and attaché, I will not go into details, the secretary is the main auxiliary, the military attache is the main military, and the attaché is equivalent to an officer who enjoys certain diplomatic privileges.
Before entering the door, Li Yihang (Li Ju) put on his blazer seriously.
"Whew! Come, it's time to tell me what happened to you before you came! ”
