0327 Delegation
Standing on the port, Lynch, as an important participant, naturally became one of the greeting personnel.
On the one hand, Nagalil is a backward feudal country, and the people of the Federation instinctively dislike these people.
As something progresses, the federal government will definitely popularize some of the Nagalil situation, and even if it shows its good side, it will be a very repressive society for the people of the Federation to accept, and they don't like the country and their rulers.
However, they are full of sympathy and pity for the people at the bottom of the country.
On the other hand, the final outcome of this negotiation is still uncertain, and the federal society is unlikely to expand the propaganda effect until there is a definite outcome.
If the propaganda is too good and the results are not satisfactory, the contrast can be unbearable and humiliating, especially since Nagalil is still a small backward country.
The Federation and the people of the Federation, who are showing their worth in the international community, do not consider them to be inferior to Nagalil and therefore are even less likely to bear a huge gap and facts.
On the contrary, it is a simple publicity now, and in case a good result is ushered in, it will become a kind of surprise.
Seeing that the cruise ship came into view more than an hour later than scheduled, some gentlemen walked out of the bars in the harbor.
The wind is strong on the beach, and some people are curious to watch, and it seems that "watching foreigners" has become a popular fun activity near the port.
These foreigners are different from the ones they see on TV, they are more real, and they have a higher status.
As the ship docked, a group of Nagalil natives, who were clearly different from the Bail people, stepped off the ship.
Their complexion is darker than that of the Bailers, and their hair is mostly dark brown or black, and they are not very tall, and seem to be shorter than the Federalists generally have.
In order to show a certain culture of Nagalil and to reflect their identity, these people all wear the traditional Nagalil costume, which is the kind of ...... It's kind of kind of long culottes with a coat.
They had a lot of animal ornaments, such as some bird feathers, some animal teeth or whatever, as well as gold and precious stones.
When these people appeared in the eyes of the people, some people clearly showed a kind of discomfort, probably because they felt that these people were too savage, and there was a report not long ago.
According to the report, the people of Nagalil plucked the feathers of a very beautiful bird alive and made them into various elaborate ornaments.
Birds that live in forests fly freely for a lifetime, and eventually encounter humans, not only lose the freedom to fly, but also become a delicacy on people's plates.
The freedom-loving people of the Federation, who value themselves more than their lives, hate this barbaric behavior, which has become one of the reasons why some animal protection organizations are hostile to the Nagalil people, and by the way, the vast majority of the people in the animal protection organizations are not vegetarians, they also eat meat, and they eat it more than anyone else.
In the group, Lynch soon saw the governor, who followed in the middle of the group.
He was greeted by the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, a forty-six-year-old middle-aged official who graduated from the PeaceCouncil Union and is a member of the Peacemaker's Order.
This is an official with a bright future, and it is widely believed that if Mr. President can defeat the representatives of the radical faction that the Progressive Party uses to accompany him in the election in a year and seven months, then there is no doubt that the deputy minister will go further.
Lynch glanced at Mr. Trueman, who was one step behind him, and there was evidently a faint, indescribable sarcasm on Mr. Trueman's face, as if he was a little unimpressed with the undersecretary of diplomacy who was one step ahead of him.
It may be that Lynch's gaze is more special, and Mr. Trueman quickly senses that someone is watching him, and he quickly finds the person.
Seeing that it was Lynch, the corners of his mouth slightly raised to reveal a faint smile, and then he looked away, the hidden sarcasm on his face was gone, and the whole person stood with low eyebrows, not special at all.
In fact, Lynch did not know that Mr. President had some ideas, and he had only been in office for three months, and his control over the presidential cabinet and various departments in the country could be said to be almost completely non-existent.
Although he put some "own people" in important positions, these "own people" are actually "party people", not his real confidants, and he also has a different stance from these leaders on some issues.
For example, he recently advocated for Mr. Trueman to take on more important responsibilities, but there were some different views in the Progressive Party, which made him uncomfortable.
The most critical contradiction is that the "Office of International Policy/Affairs Research" overlaps with the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" in some areas of authority, and if the authority of the Office of International Policy/Affairs is increased, it will inevitably further infringe on the power of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and harm the interests of the foreign minister and vice minister.
Where there are people, there will be conflicts of interest, and there will be contradictions, and the two seem to be calm, but in fact there are already some signs of confrontation.
What Mr. Truman lacks now is a "name", otherwise he would have been the leader in charge of this foreign affairs, not the "young" deputy chief.
After Nagalil's delegation landed, the young foreign minister took the initiative to greet him, sent greetings from the foreign minister and the president, and left enough images in front of the media, which will be one of his wonderful resumes!
Then the two sides began to introduce each other, and Lynch was fortunate to be the last member of the reception team.
According to the plan, after welcoming the diplomatic delegation from abroad in front of the public, the next step was to send them to a local hotel for amendments and preliminary negotiations, after which the delegation would be divided into three parts to visit and negotiate with the Federation.
The most important part of this, officials from the central government of Nagalil travel with the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs to Bupayn, which is the political, economic, and cultural center of the country, and is also better suited to deal with these matters.
The second group of people will go around to see the folklore and customs of the Federation, which is a more official statement, in fact, these people are members of the ruling class of Nagalil, and the purpose of their visit to the Federation of Baile this time is actually very simple, that is, to play.
They don't get involved in any of the official or commercial negotiations, they're here to spend, nominally just to get to know the country that has potential diplomatic relations.
Then you can get close to people's lives here, and you will have no problem getting in touch with everything here.
The third group of people are business negotiators, who will visit the main industrial cities of the Bylor Federation, visit some of the main factories, and try to conclude some contracts for the introduction of technology to lay the industrial foundation of Nagalil.
This is also the main reason for this diplomatic activity, as a country that relies on the import of even bullets from the Pretton Comptoir, they have become more and more uneasy to see the rapid development of other countries, and it is urgent to achieve a certain degree of self-reliance.
I don't say I can make anything, but at least bullets and other things can always be solved by myself, right?
Lynch was in charge of the third group of delegations, receiving and reaching some trade intentions, and Mr. Trueman meant a little bit.
However, the deputy minister had a different idea, and he had talked to Lynch before this about making some heavyweight trade, and why he did it...... , presumably to show how successful the negotiations he led were!
Just as everyone was about to get in the car and leave, Dragher, the governor of the province of Magulana, found Lynch, "Those things you said are ......," he looked around, "Are they stacked here?"
Lynch nodded, "It's in the warehouse next to it, do you want to take a look?"
Drager nodded, said "Wait a minute", and then went over to say a few words to the others, and when he returned, he had two more members of the delegation with him.
The two men were obviously whiter than the others, and it was okay to say that they were lighter, and they seemed to be of mixed race in appearance.
"My assistant, can we go and see those embargoed devices?"
Faced with the request of the governor of Drag, Lynch reported the matter to the deputy minister, and obtained the approval of the deputy minister, and then the group took two cars and came to the warehouse rented by Lynch.
The Bylor Federation has more than one deep-sea port to the outside world, but it is the most convenient one, with a shorter straight-line distance from here to Nagalil, less sailing time, and naturally more economical expenses.
With the help of the workers in the warehouse area, the group entered the warehouse and opened the dust cover.
The two men brought by the governor of Dragg immediately walked over to the machines, notebooks in their hands, checking the models and names of the devices, as well as some key places.
Lynch didn't stop them, and let these people check them so generously, knowing that not long ago, these machines produced a batch of goods, and after that, there were special people who were responsible for maintaining them, and these could be put into use immediately.
After the two of them looked through some random equipment, they spoke with Governor Drager in Nagalil for a while, and after about a few minutes, Governor Drager nodded his head to express his satisfaction.
On the way back, the two men were in the same car, and the governor of Degra revealed a little information to Lynch that the Pretton comptoir was intending to sabotage the diplomatic visit.
This news is important, and as for whether it is true or not, let's treat it as if it were true, and Lynch believes that it is very likely to be true!
