Margaret was so happy that she was finally going back to the United States for a vacation.

That's right, Loya is very humane, giving the middle and upper echelons fifteen days to one month of annual leave every year, while ordinary soldiers have annual leave ranging from five to fifteen days, depending on the rank and length of service.

Margaret, who is considered a confidant of Loya, has now been promoted to deputy commander and is entitled to twenty-five days of annual leave, which she intends to take in two installments in a year. In the first half of the year, I took more than ten days off, and in the second half of the year, I could travel beautifully every time.

Loya has become a senator from Texas, gangster? Hehe, as early as the day of the fall of Eighteenth Street, it didn't exist.

Now the personnel are scattered among her security companies, jewelry mining companies, and some service industries such as laundries and restaurants. It's all serious, and you can get it.

And now, there is another biomedical company.

More than a dozen kilograms of fresh fruits, kept fresh with ice packs, packed in foam insulation boxes, full of a large box, Zhou Qiao thought about it, wrote a warning note, and put it in the box. He was afraid that the people in the clinic would see the temptation of this fruit and couldn't help but taste one.

It's not that he's stingy and reluctant, but he really can't eat it, it's highly poisonous!

Although he has an antidote, the trouble is not? And maybe there will be sequelae.

"Doctor Zhou, you can rest assured that I will deliver it safely. Well, I personally sent it to the clinic! Margaret assured with a hearty smile.

Zhou Qiao nodded and advised: "After it is delivered, tell them that this fruit is poisonous and must not be touched!" ”

"Mm-hmm, definitely!"

Then Margaret got into the chariot with the suitcase.

And Zhou Qiao still has to stay here for a while, first, the vaccine and special drugs are very important, he handed over with the medical team, but he is still a little uneasy, and needs to stare at each other until they can successfully prepare the first batch of successful vaccines and special drugs, and second, he has made an appointment with the Chinese Embassy in Sue Soken to donate cultural relics.

About three days later, the biomedical team mastered the preparation technology of vaccines and specific drugs, and Zhou Qiaocai, accompanied by Luo Ya, set off for Yavidebe, the capital of Sue Soken.

Luo Ya also wants to visit President Deriba in Sue Soken and hold secret talks on ordering 054AP missile frigates from the Chinese side in the name of Sue Soken!

Although she has dealt with President Dhriba several times before and had some exchanges of interests, this matter is really important, and I don't know if it can be negotiated.

It really couldn't be negotiated, so she had to ask American suppliers to customize corvettes of the same level at a higher price, and the cycle of "picking up" would be longer.

Time is money, I can't afford to wait!

The high price in the United States, even with her status, is difficult to suppress, because the production and manufacturing costs in the United States are there.

……

The X virus is sweeping, and the farther away from the base, the more you can feel the cruelty of the virus.

After all, vaccines and miracle drugs take time to produce, and the priority supply must be your own people!

After getting out of the control circle of the base, it is even more tragic!

The chariot was speeding up bumpy, Zhou Qiao and Luo Ya sat in the back row, hugging each other, in the front row, Yaji was driving, and Lu Xianna was the co-pilot. In the back, there were more than a dozen chariots accompanying them.

Luo Ya travels, especially in a chaotic place like Sue Soken, naturally it is impossible to be alone, she brought an elite sharp knife company, all of which have been trained in the official US army, and after coming out, they have been trained several times, and their combat ability has been greatly improved, which is equivalent to a special forces squad.

In the United States, being a soldier is a profession, as long as the salary offered by Luo Ya is more generous, a large number of people are willing to come.

What's more, many of them were arranged by Eighteenth Street to march into the army in the past.

In fact, before the Vietnam War, the United States had conscripts, but conscripts involved the construction of the ideological field, and it was obvious that the United States was not good at this. Except for President Lincoln back then.

In the Civil War, the North was originally at a disadvantage, because the slogan of the South was: Defend the homeland and resist aggression.

And the north, it is the provocateurs who belong to the unjust side.

As a result, President Lincoln's genius pen saw the crux of the problem from the height of history, abolishing slavery and advocating equality for all, the right to life, liberty and the right to happiness, which made the Southerners lose their faith and support almost overnight.

What was supposed to be a just battle to defend freedom and defend the homeland turned out to be a war to defend inhumane slavery that maintained the oppression of human rights. It's reasonable to lose and retreat!

Therefore, compulsory soldiers are very troublesome, and without the purpose of commanding from a high level, it is difficult to make soldiers live and die. And where did the United States get the slightest justice in the Vietnam War and the various wars that followed?

After high-level research, the conscripts were simply abolished and all professionalized! Everyone only talks about interests, how good!

Similarly, in the United States, policing is merely a profession. Luo Ya is a police inspector in the international metropolis of Los Angeles, although she can't control the town police Garnett in a small Texas town, but Garnett is still very envious.

After all, there is a huge gap in salary, social status, contacts and circles! Class, everywhere.

"Huh~"

Zhou Qiao's eyes were attracted by the endless circling and flying birds on the mountain tops in the distance, and there were some large birds of prey inside.

These birds of prey, from time to time, pounce on food, and burst out with an unusually sharp cry, which can be heard from afar!

Zhou Qiao couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know which animal is unlucky and has to suffer this kind of corpse." ”

Luo Ya smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't have to be an animal, maybe a human." ”

"Humans?" Zhou Qiao couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Luo Ya said: "This is most likely the funeral of the indigenous tribe, for the deceased, this is actually the best home, a very sacred and solemn thing, not as miserable as you think." ”

"Sky burial?" Zhou Qiao asked in surprise. He only knows that XZ has sky burials, could it be that there are similar customs in Africa?

Loya explained to him that there were some tribes here, called the Maasai people. They have no natural affection for the land, and even regard it as "the source of all evil"!

They are disgusted with the land, refusing to eat any of its output, eating only the flesh of cattle and sheep, and drinking milk, goat's milk, or the blood of animals. For the rivers also flow through the land, and they are wicked.

After the death of the Maasai people, they were neither buried nor cremated, but practiced "sky burial", and the corpses were carried to the wilderness and allowed to be devoured by birds and animals, so as to indicate that the Maasai people were not related to the land even if they died.

After Zhou Qiao heard this, he was very surprised. Because for the Chinese, the land is the root of life and our great mother.

In ancient times, after some farmers got their land, they were often very excited, and some would even lie on the ground and kiss the land.

When Tang Xuanzang went to the west to learn scriptures, he had to bring a handful of soil from his hometown.

And the people here? Zhou Qiao shook his head!

He remembered the spread of disease X, in fact, disease X was far less contagious than the virus that had swept through other continents before, but virus X was raging in Africa and affecting more and more people!

It probably has to do with their funeral rites, not with the form of cremation or burial!

Because even if it is buried, the virus is buried deep in the ground, and as the body decomposes, the virus will slowly die.

There are no living organisms, and the temperature in Africa is not particularly cold, so it is difficult for the virus to survive for a long time.

However, there is a very incomprehensible ritual here, knowing that the deceased is sick and dying, but the people here still take turns to contact and even kiss the deceased when they mourn!

Isn't this looking for your own death? It is not too much to say that it is ignorant and uncivilized.

After arriving in Yavidebe, Luo Ya visited President Derriba of Sue Soken as a member of the Texas Congressman of the United States, and had a polite meeting.

Even if Loya threw out the bait of heavy money, Deriba would not be fooled. Luo Ya's money is easy to take, but this matter is too risky, and if the Chinese side knows about it, Delhiba will probably lose China's support.

Without the Chinese side as a backer, Derriba estimated that he would soon be ousted from power by the warlords next to him, and even die a miserable death.

Luo Ya sneered secretly, this old fox.

However, she already had psychological expectations and knew that it would not be so easy to get it, and the next thing was to find out the bottom line of the other party, how much appetite the other party has, and how much benefit she needs to take!

Luo Ya's plan has been decided, so she will no longer press step by step, but plan to stay and slowly deal with this old fox, she still doesn't believe it, she really can't handle this old fox?

If you really can't do it, you can assassinate it directly and support another obedient one, but in that case, the price is a bit big.

Moreover, if the newly supported ones are not recognized by the Chinese side, it will not be possible to order the 054AP frigate.

coincided with the twentieth birthday of Derhiba's daughter, and a birthday party was held at a luxurious manor in Yavidebe, and Luo Ya also took Zhou Qiao to attend in full costume and sent expensive gifts to congratulate.

Unfortunately, Derriba still did not give a clear answer. Let Luoya hate her teeth itching.

……

Zhou Qiao made an appointment with the embassy to go over and donate cultural relics. Luo Ya wore a decent and generous casual dress and attended as Zhou Qiao's girlfriend.

After changing her skirt, she has no lack of gentleness and intellectuality, and she has a unique charm.

The decoration of the Chinese Embassy in Sue Soken is very simple, but it is not simple, dignified and majestic, and it is very eye-catching among the many buildings in Yavidebe, and there is a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

The ambassador gave Zhou Qiao a very high standard of reception, and almost everyone came out to greet him.

To Zhou Qiao's surprise, a certain high-level in China, who is often seen on TV or some self-media, actually asked for a video call with Zhou Qiao, through video, face-to-face, and rewarded and encouraged Zhou Qiao in person.

The big guy can speak well, and he talked for more than five minutes, and when he was over, he said that he would wait for Zhou Qiao to return to China and then meet him in person. Hearing that Zhou Qiao opened a clinic in the United States, the big man expressed his support, but also hoped that Zhou Qiao would have the opportunity to return to China for more exchanges and contribute to the medicine of the motherland.

Zhou Qiao said that it must be.

"Then you can contact me when you return to China, and I will treat you to a working meal at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

The hearty laughter of the big guy opposite made Zhou Qiao doubly moved. Imagine that a year ago, he was still worried about work, how could a typical bottom of society have such a luxurious opportunity to have lunch with the bigwigs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!

The whole donation ceremony was carried out in a cheerful atmosphere, and at the end of the ceremony, Zhou Qiao received another certificate and a medal issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Moreover, this time the ceremony was more grand than in San Francisco. After all, the heavyweights are taking time out of their busy schedules and coming over on video in person.

Zhou Qiao was still very embarrassed, and he thought that he hadn't made much contribution.

It is worth mentioning that when the big guy and Zhou Qiao were on video, they noticed Luo Ya out of the corner of their eyes, and a trace of surprise flashed. It's just that the big guy is very deep in the city, and he pretends not to notice it at all.

Luo Ya's heart suddenly felt that she was a little exposed? But after thinking about it, I didn't care. Paper can't contain fire, and an identity like her will be exposed sooner or later.

Little did she know that her information, including photographs, had already appeared on the desk of the President of the White House and on the desks of some Chinese bigwigs.

After all, such a powerful force has suddenly emerged in Sue Soken, and it is impossible not to attract people's attention.

Luo Ya may still not be qualified to play at the table, but she is already qualified to act as a pawn!

And Luo Ya never thought of being a pawn!

……

Sue Soken Presidential Palace. President Deriba is anxious because a tragic car accident has just occurred in the capital, Yavidebey.

And it was his own daughter Bekele who was injured!

He has four sons, but his daughter is the only one, as the only little padded jacket, he has been the most favored since he was a child, never expected that his daughter's twentieth birthday was only a few days later, and she was suddenly in a car accident!

He regretted that he shouldn't have given that luxury sports car to his daughter!

According to the police investigation, his daughter Bekele was just trying to avoid a child crossing the road when she hit a large tree and the steering wheel squeezed her upper abdomen severely, causing severe pain, and then she was in critical condition and had just been taken to the emergency department of the best hospital in Yavidebey.

Deriba's wife, crying heartbreakingly, strongly asked Deriba to come to the scene in person, and be sure to order those doctors to rescue her daughter!

Deriba took his family, including his wife, and his four sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, etc., to the door of the emergency department of the best hospital.

The director of the hospital, the director of the emergency department, and a group of experts from the hospital came out to greet them.

Dereba: "The most important thing is to get my daughter back!" ”

He secretly swore that as long as his little padded jacket was safe and sound this time, he was willing to pay any price to his daughter. Including, shortening their life span by a few years.

After the consultation between the director of the emergency department and the experts of the hospital, he immediately came to report: "Your Excellency, it should not be a big problem, although the difficulty of this rescue operation is high, but we believe that we can handle it ourselves!" ”
