Chapter 204: A Foreign Country

The transport plane landed slowly at a military base in the port of Tanida, and it was a group of senior military officials led by the Minister of Defense of Tanida who came to greet Le Chen and his party, the official language of Tanida was French, and Murong Xue acted as a translator.

However, the Tanidar Defense Minister Mei Bei, who was as black as a black charcoal head, was very curious and interested in Le Chen, because everyone knew that China had a custom of ranking seniority, and such a young lieutenant general was simply unheard of.

After a brief welcome ceremony, the guest and host left the airport, and Bi Bufan led the bronze detachment and the armored infantry company into the barracks that had been arranged by the Tanida side long ago. Murong Xue and several personal guards, accompanied by Mei Bei, went to the Montberry Hotel, which is located on the shore of Tanneda's Golden Beach.

The 700-hectare Coast Resort is a 700-hectare coastal resort surrounded by two world-class 18-hole golf courses designed by some of the world's leading masters, and 3 kilometres of golden coastline, making it one of Africa's most famous and premier beachfront resorts.

The resort is divided into two parts, the lodge and the hotel, and the most fascinating feature is of course the dozen or so villa-style buildings hidden in the lush forests of the lodge, which is like a subtropical paradise, with many mischievous dolphins, marine life and birds everywhere in the bay. Surrounded by lush vegetation and beautiful native flora, the resort also offers stunning views of the majestic Indian Ocean.

Le Chen was naturally arranged to live in a villa in the villa, if you really say that this place is naturally not as luxurious and comfortable as Le Chen's manor in Nanjiang, but it is better than the exotic style, such as those huge baobab trees everywhere, which Le Chen has never seen before.

Moreover, the main buildings of the hotel, such as the reception hall, restaurant, bar, etc., are covered with grass and are conical in shape, imitating the thatched houses of African aborigines, which makes people feel a wonderful feeling of being close to nature in a foreign country.

In the afternoon, Defense Minister Mebe visited again and talked with Le Chen for more than half an hour, talking about the tired journey of Mr. Lieutenant General, and the first time to rest and adjust to the time difference, Vice President Mnangu will hold a banquet to receive Mr. Lieutenant General tonight, and tomorrow the President will hold a cocktail party to welcome the members of the delegation.

Le Chen doesn't know what position he holds on the official exchanges between the Huaxia military and the Tanida military, but Tanida is a small island country, and he knows from Mei Bei's attitude that although his country is a tourist attraction, he is afraid that his political status in the international arena will only be ranked in the last few positions, and his military strength is extremely weak, and he doesn't have much intersection with Huaxia, so Mei Bei didn't talk about any questions that made Le Chen feel difficult to answer, but just said something about the scene that he hoped that the two armies would strengthen ties and strengthen exchanges in the future, and Le Chen could cope with the past。

Seeing off Meibei, Le Chen beckoned to Murong Xue and came to the balcony outside, where the loungers are shaded by lush baobab trees, in front of which is the blue swimming pool, and in the distance, there is a charming bay, and the environment is extremely comfortable and comfortable.

Le Chen sat on the white rattan chair on the edge of the balcony, beckoned to Murong Xue and motioned for her to sit on another rattan chair, and then asked in a mysterious whisper: "I didn't say anything indecent just now, did I?

Murong Xue was stunned, what the chief said just now was all fake and empty official clichés, and he didn't discuss any substantive issues with the other party's defense minister at all, so where could there be any conditions that should not be agreed?

However, the chief in front of him is not at all like usual, but like a child who has never seen the world......

"No, no......" Murong Xue hurriedly waved her head to shake off this unreliable and extremely ridiculous idea, and stammered in reply.

Le Chen bowed slightly: "That's good, otherwise, I can only catch up now and erase the memory of the black charcoal head, but it is not good for his health after all." ”

Ah?Erase the memory?Murong Xue shuddered, No. 1 base, do you have such an immoral technology?

Moreover, if he catches up with this defense minister, and how many guards are there in other countries? But in the eyes of his own chief, is it useless and not worth mentioning?

Murong Xue couldn't help but think of the unlucky major general who was thrown into the sea, this chief, isn't he just lawless and careless?

Murong Xue was stunned for a while, suddenly realized something, and immediately stood up like a spring, and knocked down the rattan chair behind her in a panic.

Le Chen was muttering something, and couldn't help frowning when he saw her: "What are you afraid of? I'm not a tiger, I asked you to sit, do I still punish you?"

Murong Xue stood straight, looking at the tips of her delicate brown leather shoes, and didn't dare to speak.

Le Chen waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, let's go, let's go." ”

Murong Xue was pardoned, and quickly turned around and slipped away, but unfortunately, where her duty was, after a while, she had to bring a cold drink to Le Chen, and when she faced this chief, her mood was so complicated, I was afraid that she herself was entangled and didn't know what her mood was.

......

In the evening, Le Chen, Murong Xue, Bi Bufan and several senior military officers attended a welcome dinner held in the Grand Ballroom of the Montberry Hotel.

Because the Chinese military exchange delegation was the last to arrive, Vice President Mnangu was only a pick-up for the Chinese delegation at this dinner.

Several Chinese diplomats including Ambassador Xue to Tanida also attended the welcome dinner.

Le Chen couldn't help but have a headache about eating and drinking this kind of state affairs, but after the dinner, it was customary to have a cordial and friendly exchange with Vice President Mnangu.

However, with Ambassador Xue here this time, Le Chen was a lot more relaxed, although he was the main seat, sitting side by side with Mnangu, but when it came to some sensitive questions or questions that he didn't know how to answer, he threw them to Ambassador Xue.

And after Le Chen unconfidently asked the question of "Are you timid" and knew that the chief was actually not good at dealing with this situation, Murong Xue was able to see the fire and discover the mystery, and snickered at the chief's slippery head, but he also had to admire the chief, although the chief was young, it seemed that this was also his first time interacting with the head of a foreign country, but he had become more and more experienced and more proficient.

After the meeting with Mnangu, Ambassador Xue chatted with Le Chen for a while, saying that he had received a notice from the diplomatic department that the military exchange meeting attended by Commander Le involved military secrets, so the embassy tried not to participate in it, but if Commander Le needed anything, the embassy would do its best to do it.

Although Ambassador Xue was as curious about the young lieutenant general, he was stationed abroad all the year round and naturally knew what discipline was, but he did not talk to Le Chen about any matters related to this exchange meeting, but only put forward some suggestions to help the delegation solve the difficulties in life, and talked about some customs and taboos when he first came to Tanida, the characteristics of the environment and climate of this island country, how to get through the discomfort of water and soil as soon as possible, and so on.

Le Chen's poisons are not invasive, but people have good intentions, so they can only be taught with an open mind, but Murong Xue listened to it with relish, and even after Ambassador Xue left, she immediately brought Le Chen cool oil, Vaseline and other small items, which she had prepared in China as early as possible, and after listening to Ambassador Xue's words, she was more confident to take them out and use them for the chief.

Le Chen could only be speechless. (To be continued.) )
