Chapter 558: I Want to Visit the Man in Black!
Diplomatic disputes, can my little policeman in a British overseas colony cause a diplomatic dispute between Britain and France?
If it can really cause a diplomatic dispute, I am more than happy to do so!
Anyway, these two countries are not good birds, dog-eat-dog-hair.
However, Zheng Qiang didn't dare to refute, it wasn't because he was afraid that Fang Jiexia would be angry, but just a little afraid.
The two walked to a French restaurant, Zheng Qiang looked at the menu, either snails or frog legs, or foie gras, in short, he couldn't get used to these things, so he had to order something at random.
On the contrary, after the dishes came up, Fang Jiexia ate very fragrantly.
Zheng Qiang was a little difficult to swallow, it was better to hide in the hotel and make instant noodles, but he didn't dare to say this.
……
The next day, just after dawn, Zheng Qiang and the others got up, and after eating a meal that was either sour or sweet, or sticky, they drove to the Paris City Government, where they would be met by the first deputy mayor of Paris.
Although Founder is very powerful in Hong Kong, it is a colony after all, and the dispatch of the first deputy mayor of Paris is already a great face for Britain.
Of course, after listening to Fang Jiexia's introduction, Zheng Qiang knew that it was not the French who gave face to the British, but Fang Zheng, because the first deputy mayor of Paris was Fang Zheng's old classmate when he was studying in France.
The old classmates were naturally extra enthusiastic when they met, and they hugged and hugged.
In this kind of very official and formal occasion, all he said was some big talk and clichés, and Zheng Qiang was the least accustomed to this, so he was drowsy now, if it weren't for Fang Jiexia next to him who often pinched the soft flesh on his waist, I'm afraid Zheng Qiang would have snored a long time ago!
The boring and boring talks are finally over.
Thanks to Fangzheng's face, no one in Paris also assigned them a translator, and the interpreter responsible for accompanying Zheng Qiang was called John, a very ordinary and popular name.
Through John's introduction, Zheng Qiang knew that the next time for their delegation to move freely, they could visit any of the Paris government agencies at will.
This is a bit of a, and what Zheng Qiang is most unaccustomed to is the person who brags in front of him.
So Zheng Qiang immediately said that he wanted to visit the French Ministry of Defense.
John was stunned for a moment, and then told Zheng Qiang that they were staff members of the Paris city government and had no contact with the military, and if they wanted to visit the Ministry of Defense, they needed to contact the military in advance, and the Ministry of Defense was a unit with relatively high secrecy, so he would not necessarily be allowed to visit.
Therefore, John suggested that Zheng Qiang change the place to visit.
"John, do you have any good advice?" Zheng Qiang asked.
John had the haughty smile on his face that is peculiar to the French, and said, "Mr. Zheng, you choose by yourself, as long as it is not the Ministry of Defense, anywhere!" ”
Madan's! You are still pretending to be with me!
Zheng Qiang scolded secretly, and then said in a light tone: "Okay, John, I want to visit the man in black!" ”
John was stunned, visiting the man in black, it is better to visit the Ministry of Defense! There are some places in the Ministry of Defense that are not secret, but as for the man in black, not everyone can visit.
The man in black in Zheng Qiang's mouth is different from the large number of men in black in the United States.
In France, the Man in Black refers to the Special Service of the National Gendarmerie (GIGN), a special commando unit specialized in counter-terrorist activities.
It was born in the early 70s, when the world's terrorist activities were rampant, and it was known as the "sword in front of the triumphal arch".
Because they always wear black clothes when they carry out their missions, they are called "Black Men" commandos, and the French people once affectionately called them "Black Boys".
Although he is a police gendarmerie, there is a high level of secrecy.
Seeing the embarrassed smile on John's face, Zheng Qiang said in his heart, I asked you to pretend to be forced, how can you pretend to be wrong?
……
Zheng Qiang sat in the car and drove slowly towards the Paris police station.
In the end, after coordination, the main reason was that John apologized very sincerely, and Zheng Qiang reluctantly accepted to go to the police station, otherwise, Zheng Qiang would discuss with John where to visit.
As for Fang Jiexia, she didn't come with Zheng Qiang, and finally came to France once, and it is really unreasonable not to visit the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral and other attractions, except for Zheng Qiang, who has time to go to see what police station!
John also has some complaints, this policeman from Hong Kong is a bit abnormal, which one goes abroad for business is not to play, and it is rare to have such a dedicated existence.
Of course, on the way, John didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, not only introduced the scenery along the way to Zheng Qiang, but also briefly told Zheng Qiang about the categories of French police.
Through John's narration, Zheng Qiang understood that there are three types of French police, namely the national police managed by the French Ministry of the Interior, the gendarmerie managed by the French Ministry of Defense, and the municipal police responsible for city management.
But the real police are the National Police and the Gendarmerie, which are subordinate to the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Defence, respectively, and both have a top-down vertical leadership.
The French National Police and the Gendarmerie are two separate police systems under the vertical leadership of the State, and the police are in partnership with the local government, not subordinate.
The National Police is part of the Ministry of the Interior and is primarily responsible for policing in the city. The National Gendarmerie is subordinate to the Gendarmerie Directorate of the Ministry of Defence.
The Paris police station they are now visiting is the National Police, which is part of the Ministry of the Interior.
Therefore, although accompanied by the staff of the Paris City Government, Zheng Qiang arrived at the gate of the Paris police station, but still did not receive any special treatment.
Not to mention the number one, even the three or four leaders did not show up.
The Paris police department only sent a policeman named Richard (the villain in the Dragon's Kiss, Cheki Cayu) to be in charge of the reception, which made John's face very gloomy, you must know that the French also want face, especially in front of outsiders.
But John couldn't do anything, because they didn't have a so-called affiliation, and people didn't like them at all!
This Richard looks very French, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, and especially a fierce look, not like a good person at all.
Especially when he shook hands with Zheng Qiang, there was a cold light in his eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, which made Zheng Qiang very surprised, and he didn't understand where he offended this big and three rough foreign devil.
Zheng Qiang felt a strong force coming from Richard's hand, he immediately frowned and looked at Richard, and Richard showed him a provocative smile, Zheng Qiang suddenly couldn't bear it, and his right hand strained.
"Whew!" With a strange scream, Richard felt as if his right hand was broken, and he immediately knelt down.
