Chapter 544: The Price of Betrayal Is Death

Compared to the world's attention caused by the change in the presidency of the United States, the same news in a small country like Zimbabwe is not so attention-grabbing.

Mugabe, who had ruled Zimbabwe for more than 20 years, fell ill due to health reasons, which made it impossible for him to continue to handle Zimbabwean affairs. But even so, he was unwilling to give up the power in his hands.

Because he knows very well that as long as he relaxes a little, the country of Zimbabwe will no longer have anything to do with him.

"I don't want to leave the country that gave birth to me and raised me, and I don't want to leave the country I've fought for all my life."

At Zimbabwe's most technologically advanced hospital, Mugabe shook Joyce's hand at his bedside and said something that touched everyone around him.

As for whether it was really moved or pretended to be moved, it had no practical meaning for anyone present. Including Mugabe, who was lying on the hospital bed, did not care whether these people were sincere or hypocritical.

In the face of life and death, these really don't matter.

"Bring doctors to our country and buy back the equipment they need."

This last sentence is the point, as the current president of Zimbabwe, Mugabe's order is still very effective, next to the hospital bed, at this time Mugabe's most trusted first vice president of Zimbabwe, agreed at the first time.

"I've already arranged it, and they'll be able to take a special plane to arrive tonight."

Joyce's tone was also very sincere, and in fact, she did arrange this, and it stands to reason that she should refuse Mugabe's request at this time. But she did it anyway, because she knew very well in her heart that Mugabe's physical condition, unless God came to save him, there was only one way to die.

So, even if you get the best doctors and the best medical equipment in the world, what does it matter?

Mugabe was very satisfied with Joyce's attitude at this time, but he asked uneasily: "Which country's doctor is it?" ”

Joyce knew what Mugabe was worried about, and replied: "It's Huaxia's doctor, I contacted the Huaxia Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly, and they promised to send their most professional medical team to treat you." ”

Mugabe was relieved that he had always distrusted people in Western countries, in other words, he didn't trust white people, just as many white people didn't trust black people.

"Huaxia is our best ally, and without Huaxia's support, our country would have collapsed because of inflation."

Mugabe paused for a moment and calmed his breath before continuing: "The Huaxia side has always hoped to gain the right to mine uranium in our country, and I think that negotiations with them can be started at this time. After you leave the hospital, you can let them know the news. ”

Joyce answered, but sneered in her heart.

At this time, it is so urgent to start negotiations with Huaxia, isn't the purpose to let the people on the Huaxia side go all out to treat him?

Because this negotiation was initiated at his request, that is, if he dies, this negotiation will definitely be stopped, and as for when it will be restarted in the future, who can say for sure?

It's a pity, Huaxia can't save you.

Joyce, who knew what Mugabe was sick for, didn't believe that anyone in this world could save Mugabe, not because Joyce had been conquered by the strength of the 'company', but because Mugabe believed in her own people.

There were her people in the hospital, and her people told her that Mugabe's cause was a severe deterioration of his physiology, or death from old age.

No one can buy life with money in such a situation, and the current level of human technology has not reached this level.

In the past two days, Joyce even suspected that the company had not done anything to Mugabe at all, and the reason for Mugabe's current situation was only because he was really old. But Joyce has seen Mugabe's previous physical condition report more than once, and everything in Mugabe before was very normal, even if he can live to be a hundred years old, it is very normal.

But suddenly, Mugabe's physical condition deteriorated dramatically.

Combined with the affairs that the people sent by the company communicated with him, Joyce was convinced that this matter was done by the company.

"Don't worry, I will resolutely implement your will, wait for you to recover from your illness, and lead us again."

Joyce expressed his loyalty at this point, and Mugabe was very pleased with it.

"Good." Mugabe felt that it was already difficult to breathe, but he still insisted: "However, there is nothing you need to worry about, everything should be managed according to the previous policy." If there is anything you can't handle, you can come to me in the hospital at any time. ”

After saying this, Mugabe gave the doctor next to him a look, and the doctor immediately applied the ventilator to Mugabe's body, and then said to the others in the room: "Mr. President needs to rest, you can wait outside." ”

No one is waiting outside, and they all need to be prepared for the struggle for power in the wake of Mugabe's death.

Joyce was disappointed by Mugabe's last words.

It's already reached this level, are you still unwilling to delegate power?

Or, are you unwilling to give me the presidency?

Joyce, who was very disappointed, finally let go of her reverence for Mugabe at this moment, and she finally made up her mind to become the president of Zimbabwe as soon as possible, even if she used any means.

Leaving the hospital, Joyce returned to her office to take care of some daily tasks.

Compared to when Mugabe was not sick, her work has hardly changed, except for the initiation of negotiations with the Chinese side on Mugabe's orders. This is because, although Mugabe is in his hospital bed, he still puts all the power in his own hands.

It was late at night when the work was done, and Joyce returned to her lodgings and dialed Fran in the ashram.

"Huaxia's medical team has arrived, I just went to the hospital to have a look, and they have already started to examine and treat Mugabe."

Joyce said with some concern: "What if Huaxia finds out what you are doing?" Or, what if there is a way to save him? ”

Fran on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "Don't worry, we didn't use a virus or anything like that, we just accelerated the aging of his body." In medicine, this is not only a way that cannot be saved, but also a method that cannot be found to be a problem. ”

Joyce breathed a sigh of relief, not even realizing that she had become more and more dependent on the company's strength and trusting its promises.

"If ......"

Joyston paused for a moment, then continued, "I mean, if I want to hasten his death, do you have a solution?" ”

Fran was not surprised, saying, "Of course we have a solution, but we don't recommend it, because you haven't consolidated your rule over Zimbabwe in the first place. What we need is a peaceful and stable Zimbabwe, not a Zimbabwe with civil strife. ”

Joyce was a little disappointed, but she also knew that Fran had a point, and that just because her biggest rival in Zimbabwe was dead didn't mean that others wouldn't stand on their own.

If she can get the support of the company, will others also get the support of other forces? Or even, what about the support of other countries?

"What's next?"

Joyce asked, "We only have an armed force of 30,000 in the military, and I can control 10,000 of them, do you have any good ideas?" ”

"The heads of the other 20,000 people will visit you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and you don't need to refuse or doubt their sincerity, because we have already negotiated with them," Fran said. ”

The message shocked Joyce, but it wasn't the end of it, Fran continued: "We're still buying off people in your country's political circles so that you can get their support when you take over as president. So, all you need to do is be patient. ”

Joyce was a little unconvinced, and she said: "Some people are not able to be accepted by bribery, they can change sides at any time and bite us back. ”

Fran laughed and said, "It's true that some people can't be bought off completely, so we have other means. Trust us, they won't bite you back, because the price of betrayal ...... It's death! ”
