rebirth of change

This kind of inexplicable thing also happened to Chen Kangjie, and it also turned a good thing into a bad thing. Not only did he keep his title of "troubleshooter", it also made the previously discussed cooperation projects almost go to waste. It was delayed for two years before it was launched.

Chen Kangjie went out for a week and returned to Leopoldville. At this time, Babu's withdrawal was almost completed.For them, it is easier to withdraw troops. Since there are no heavy weapons, no fixed barracks, and not many logistical materials, the action will be very fast. Basically, they just pick up their guns, put away their tents and leave.Even the number of military vehicles is not large, some people travel by car, and some people trek on foot.As for the location and logistical support in the eastern region, Minister of National Defense Luba Ntembo has already prepared for them in advance.

Babu's army withdrew, and the security forces led by the Ministry of the Interior immediately moved in.Everything went smoothly. After Xie Yourong and the others arrived, the survey and planning team could directly enter the area for preliminary preparations.

Not only is Chen Kangjie happy that the progress is going so smoothly, but the Calabi father and son are also excited. They plan to fully embrace the next stage of national reconstruction.

Since they are happy, everyone will celebrate. At the celebration banquet, in order to express his gratitude to Chen Kangjie and allow him to have an independent and comfortable environment next time, he immediately stated that he would send the former President Monto in the capital. He presented the Chinese-style hotel to him so that Chen Kangjie could transform it into his residence in Zhaguo.

Chen Kangjie had seen that building before, and on the first day he came, he was still in the car and asked Calabi with great interest.Unexpectedly, their father and son were so caring, and they gave such a mansion to themselves so soon.

The location of this Chinese-style building is very good. The bustling middle section of Lumumba Avenue, the wide Lumumba Avenue at the entrance is a main road. Not only is the road wide and extending in all directions, but the greenery and environment are also quite good.It takes about ten minutes to drive from this location to the Presidential Palace. If you turn right, you can go directly to the airport without turning.The most important thing is that the complete Chinese style is very suitable for Chen Kangjie's taste orientation. He plans to tidy up the inside. Even if he doesn't come to Leopoldville very often, this place can also become a very good Zhaguo branch headquarters, accommodating There is no problem in an office with hundreds of people.

Chen Kangjie was not reserved, and accepted it happily.Always living in the presidential palace, he is actually not at ease, luxury is luxury, but this is the power center of others after all, there are people following and "protecting" everywhere, in fact, they are under the nose of others all the time, this is in Everyone seems uncomfortable.

After the banquet, Chen Kangjie went for a walk in the garden, while Calabi was called by his father to the office to discuss work.

A bright waning moon hangs in the night sky, dotted with stars, and the shadow of the moon is shining under the verdant forest. The colorful African flowers blooming on the flower branches emit bursts of fragrance, accompanied by the soft night wind, rushing into the nose.Unknown grass insects in the green grass chirped low, scurrying and jumping, full of vitality.

Although it is near the equator, but because it is close to the big river and the sea, Leopoldville is annoyingly hot under the scorching sun during the day, but at night, the river wind from the north and the sea breeze from the west blow in gusts. But I didn't feel that it would be so hot, it made people cool down a lot.

During the dinner, Chen Kangjie drank some wine, and was a little bored when he went out, but after taking a walk and blowing some air, he became much more comfortable.

"It's only after ten o'clock, why don't we go to the house that the president gave me?" When Xiong Ziqiang suggested that he go back to his room to rest, Chen Kangjie made such a proposal.

"Jie Shao, why don't we go tomorrow, it's not too early", Xiong Ziqiang tried to stop him.

"I can't sleep even when I go back to my room, so I just go out for a stroll. It seems that we haven't been to the street before after so many days in Leopoldville." Chen Kangjie waved his hand.

"Jie Shao, if you want to go, then I will go to Karabi and ask him to send someone to go with us."

Chen Kangjie held Liu Deyi back, "He has been out with me for so many days, and he just came back. There must be a lot of work matters to deal with and discuss. Why are you disturbing him? We can just go, this area is the city center , there are military and police patrolling around, plus Brother Qiang and the others, there won't be any problems."

What Chen Kangjie wants to do is generally beyond the reach of others.The bodyguards and Liu Deyi could only walk out of the presidential palace and walk towards the Chinese-style building.

The guards at the gate of the presidential palace knew that this group of foreigners were VIPs, so they didn't stop them.Without Karabi, they lacked a vehicle as a means of transportation and had to walk there.

Now there are some taxis in Leopoldville, but they are all old, and these taxis cannot park around the presidential palace. Chen Kangjie and the others really have no choice.

Fortunately, Chen Kangjie had a wandering mentality and didn't think there was anything wrong with walking on the street.

In Leopoldville, most streets are unlit due to severe infrastructure damage and a shortage of funds.However, as the center of the city and the main roads running through the city, [-] June Street and Lumumba Avenue are still brightly lit.

After walking a few hundred meters from the Presidential Palace, there were more pedestrians on the side of the road, and many people went to the street to cool off, while many vendors took advantage of this opportunity to place their stalls under street lights, almost under every street light pole. There will be one or two hawkers, some selling food, some selling fruit, some selling trinkets and clothes, etc., and even Chen Kangjie found that local artists were selling their own paintings and wood carvings.The woodcarving in Zhaguo is very famous. Not only do they use high-quality wood, but the key lies in their skillful carving techniques and bold creative style.

In order to leave a memory and take care of the local business, Chen Kangjie spent thirty dollars to buy two exquisite devil wood carving masks. The elderly black artist not only carved them lifelike, but also colored them in red, blue and gray , if this wooden mask is worn on the face, it can really scare people.

Whether they were children or adults, they almost all looked at them with curious eyes.In this remote country, at this point in time when the civil war has just ended, no matter whether they are white or yellow, even in the so-called prosperous capital, they are rarely seen.This reminded Chen Kangjie of the seventies and 80s before his rebirth. If a foreigner appeared in China, the Chinese would look at him curiously.Chen Kangjie remembered that the first time he saw a foreigner was outside a famous tourist area in the province in 1989. At that time, he wondered why this person had such yellow hair?Eyes so blue?Nose so high?Eye sockets so sunken?They have walked more than ten meters away, and he is still watching.

Fortunately, none of these black people who had much contact with the outside world recognized Chen Kangjie, they just regarded them as rare tourists or explorers.

In fact, while people are curious about him, he is also curious about these people and their lives. When encountering strange things, he will also take a serious look at them. As two groups that are unfamiliar with each other, this is a necessity for deepening understanding. preliminary steps.

After wandering for half an hour, Chen Kangjie and the others finally came to the Chinese-style mansion assigned to him.

It may be because of the military guards in front of this unique building. There are not many ordinary citizens around, and some of them pass by in a hurry without much stop.

Seeing Chen Kangjie and a group of strangers approaching, two of the soldiers with rifles on their backs also came forward to meet them.

Fortunately, the burly soldier in the lead can speak a certain amount of French, so the communication becomes smoother.

After Chen Kangjie explained his purpose of coming, perhaps he had already got the news of the transfer here, the other party did not doubt it, but instead smiled and wanted to guide Chen Kangjie.

Chen Kangjie was very happy to see the other party being so upbeat, and took out a hundred dollars as a consumption tip to the other party.

However, a strange scene happened. The other party seemed very happy to accept the purchase, but Yuzu raised his arms, opened his left palm, and slapped his left palm with his right hand clenched into a fist.

In the eyes of Chen Kangjie and the others, such an action was extremely provocative, and seemed to despise the challenge.Pang Hui and Dong Mingshu quickly stepped forward to block Chen Kangjie, and glared at each other.

The two soldiers took two steps back, their faces full of confusion and alertness.Chen Kangjie saw that they didn't make any further moves. Although he was unhappy, but after all, he was in his territory, so he didn't say anything. He patted Pang Hui on the shoulder to make him relax, and walked in by himself.

Seeing Chen Kangjie walking towards the gate of the main building, two soldiers followed him again, "Sir, are you going in now?".

"Yes, is it not possible?" Chen Kangjie asked with a sullen face.

"Okay, of course, I have the key here," the other party leader took out a key from his waist and opened the double-opening red door.

As soon as you enter the door and turn on the lights, the entire magnificent and radiant hall is revealed. Everything still looks so brand new, as if it has never been used.On either side of the hall, there are spiral staircases leading to the upper floors, and on the opposite side, there is a door leading to the garden behind.

Chen Kangjie looked around the hall with great interest, and then went to the upstairs room to look around. He felt that there was everything in it, and it seemed that there was nothing missing, so he could move in here.The garden behind the building is not small, covering thousands of square meters, and there are elegant buildings on the other three sides of the garden, forming a modern courtyard in the style of the capital.

"How many buildings like this are there in Leopoldville?" Chen Kangjie casually asked the two soldiers who followed him in. He thought that if there were any, he could also buy them as a place for the subordinate employees to work and live. After all, he is very satisfied with the environment.
