Chapter 117: You're Finally Here

A little more than a month later, Soukir International Airport.

After a 15-hour long flight, Li Yuan and the others finally arrived at their destination, Sokir.

They were a little tired. Because there is currently no direct flight to Sokir in China, you also need to fly to Paris airport to transfer. In particular, the small plane that sits on after the transfer is a regional plane with more than 20 seats. The experience of riding a small plane can be imagined, in the air, they have a trip up and down the extreme sports?

"It's finally here. After getting to the hotel, you should be fine. Li Yuan smiled and comforted, "Don't look at Sokir as the capital of the Republic of Vera, it's actually not big, it's about the same as our county." However, the hotel area is quiet and the living environment is very good......"

While introducing the situation, Li Yuan and the others stopped a taxi. However, not long after leaving the airport, he was stopped by a long procession: "Victory, victory, victory......"

Finally, when the procession passed, the taxi had not gone a long way before another intersection rally appeared. I saw a man standing on a high place giving an enthusiastic speech, and the crowd erupted in cheers.

There is also a big banner here - a thousand different voices, one united nation!

Perhaps seeing Li Yuan's doubts, the black uncle who opened the taxi took the initiative to introduce: "Gentlemen, our country has just successfully completed its first national election, and now we are celebrating victory. Our new president has lived abroad since he was a child, and he will definitely give us an even happier future......"

Taxi drivers all over the world seem to be the same, and they are all the same talkative. In the introduction of this black uncle, coupled with some memories left by Li Yuan in his previous life, he roughly understood the basic situation of Sokir.

In the central region of Africa, the most critical golden passage is definitely the Congo River. And along both sides of the Congo River, there are still many important mineral resources, and later there were not local warlords who fought to death? There is also a lot of interference from external forces behind it? Is even the Congo divided into two countries?

The Republic of Vila is located on the edge of the Congo River Basin. The country is not rich in mineral resources. Or rather, there has been no full-scale exploration at all.

Geographically, it's not the most important, but it's a little bit of a support. At the very least, there is an additional logistics channel.

Since the Republic of Villa is a Commonwealth country, the United Kingdom certainly has some influence.

And the big brother of the African continent is France. The official currency of many neighboring countries, including the Republic of Vera, is the CFA franc. Even a direct flight through Paris airports? This shows the enormous influence of this part of France.

On the contrary, the United States does not attach much importance to other influences, and they pay more attention to important strategic areas such as the Suyinshi Canal on the African continent. So to Sokir...... Better than nothing! At least there's an international port.

Of course, the US dollar is also the most sought-after hard currency in this region. This is followed by Western European currencies such as the British pound, the franc and the West German mark, followed by the Japanese yen and the South African rand. South Africa also has a strong presence in the region.

Then it was the turn of the CFA franc. Last in line, there is the Vera dollar, the national currency issued by the Republic of Vera. However, the usage of Vera dollars ...... Don't mention it!

All in all, the currency here is a bit of a mess.

Here, there is also a very powerful external force - the former Soviet Union.

The former Soviet Union has deeply intervened in the political situation in many African countries through a large amount of military aid, a military advisory group and a large number of Cuban troops. This also includes the Republic of Villa. There is also a former Soviet military base here, which is designed to deliver supplies to the Congo River valley.

It should be said that in the independence movements of African countries, the former Soviet Union still has a certain progressive significance. But it is inevitable that there will be interference in internal affairs.

For example, in the Republic of Vera. The original president was an old man of the independence movement. With the support of the former Soviet Union, he has been in power for more than two decades. In addition, it has made the livelihood of the people in China miserable, and corruption has become commonplace. With a GDP per capita of less than $200, it is one of the poorest countries in the world.

The revolutionaries of the independence movement have long since become decadent and degenerate dictators.

Due to the special situation of the Republic of Vera. Location isn't the most important, but it does make a difference. And there are too many forces involved, but a certain balance of terror has been reached. Under such circumstances, the former Republic of Vera was politically stable.

However, no one expected that the former Soviet Union would collapse?

With the collapse of the former Soviet Union, even the Soviet Union no longer exists, who will have the heart to care about a broken place in Africa?

Here, the balance of terror in the Republic of Vera is also upset. The old president fled to the country in ashes, and after a Western-style election, the new president was elected as a returnee elite......

……

Listening to Li Yuan's translation, Qian Yong was a little confused, and it was difficult to understand the thoughts of these black Shu millets: "Yuanzi, a thousand different voices? How is it possible to have a united nation? ”

Li Yuan laughed and said, "How do I know." ”

"But...... It seems like a bit of a mess here, right? ”

"It should be fine. We're here for business. And it won't get in the way of them messing around. ”

In fact, those more than a thousand different voices are more than a thousand different tribes in the Republic of Vera. Thirty years later, they still haven't figured it out in China.

But by that time, the people here have long been numbed by this kind of chaotic politics, anyway, whoever the upper class loves, our small life will still be the same.

And because of the strength of the external forces, coupled with the fact that the internal tribes are too scattered, it is at most a mouth cannon party. Martial arts are quite rare, that is, the level of village fighting.

Of course, this is not surprising. A few decades later, the Republic of Vera had a population of just over 7 million. Now, five million have wood?

Such a small population? More than a thousand tribes? Isn't it just a village fight?

Having said that, it is precisely because the level of the weapon fighting here is so low that those black millet themselves feel bored, so it is better to play with the mouth cannon directly.

Interestingly, in this turquoise world, because the nearby countries are divided by warlords and wars, especially in the Congo River Valley, the war there can be described as brutal to the extreme. All kinds of atrocities against humanity are endless.

The Republic of Vera has instead become a pure land, and they have slowly developed?

Hearing Li Yuan and them speaking foreign language, the black uncle asked curiously, "Sir, are you from the book?" You're also here to bid for those state-owned enterprises, right? ”

"Huh? Are there a lot of foreign businessmen here now? "Li Yuan is a little strange.

"There are quite a few businessmen from all over the world." Uncle Hei said with a smile, "I heard His Excellency the President say that if you sell all those loss-making state-owned enterprises, the country will have better funds for development." ”

“……”

Anyway, it's good that you're happy!

"Huh. We are Chinese. ”

"Chinese? Is it really Chinese? God forbid. You're finally here. Uncle Black suddenly became very excited.
