The strongest peasant city

Chapter 604 General Philip

"But it seems that it will not be so easy to remove Mahdi from power.

"Lightning frowned and said.

Li Xiaogang shook his head and smiled and said, "Didn't you say it? It was you who supported Mehadi to secure the throne. Without your support, I believe there are still many people in the Samanthall who are willing to try to be with him." Fight for it.

"Li Xiaogang said.

"Leave this matter to me, you just need to introduce me, the second person in Samantha after Maihadi!"

Lightning thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he said: "There is such a person, he is the son of the former chieftain of Samantang, named Suharto.

This person has just turned 40 years old this year. He is in his thirties. He is an extremely ambitious guy. He was once a strong competitor of Maihadi. If I hadn't supported Maihadi, Suharto would have become the leader of Samantha The probability is above 60.00%.

"What about this person? Ambitious people are not easy to control!"

Zhu Mingyan asked with some concern.

Li Xiaogang said with a smile: "Ambassador, we don't want to control anyone, we just want to get rid of those who hinder us. As long as someone can replace Mehadi, everything else doesn't matter!"

Zhu Mingyan looked at Li Xiaogang with piercing eyes, the more he couldn't see through this mysterious young man with eye-catching performance, he always felt a little familiar in his heart, but he just couldn't think of any clues, it was a headache!

The lightning interface said: "I have also been in contact with Suharto. It is true to have ambitions, but he lacks the means to realize his ambitions. He is a bit stubborn, and he is not willing to listen to other people's opinions easily. It is a typical collision. You don’t know who turned back until you reach the south wall.”

Li Xiaogang clapped his hands and said, "That's him! You arrange a time for me to meet him!"

"Lightning, why are you doing this!?" At this moment, George rushed in from the outside angrily, and asked loudly when he saw Lightning.

The grain that George had been looking forward to was finally delivered. Early in the morning, George excitedly led the big and small grain merchants towards the pier, ready to unload the goods, to solve the urgent need.

But when he arrived at the pier, he could only see the yellow wheat and the white rice, but he couldn't touch it. This made George very annoyed, so he drove to the embassy without saying a word.

Looking at the furious George, Lightning smiled and said, "Mr. George, please stay calm, we can't give you the food yet..."

Before Lightning finished speaking, George shouted in dissatisfaction: "Why, why!? Mr. Lightning, you probably don't know how important this batch of food is to me and to the people of Iraq! Everyone is watching eagerly. But you suddenly stopped giving me the food... Oh, I understand, you want to raise the price, right? It doesn’t matter, how much you want to increase, you just have to agree!"

George's words made Lightning smile bitterly, and said: "Mr. George, you misunderstood! I definitely didn't mean that! The reason why I didn't hand over the grain to you is because the grain is of great use to me now. Wait until I run out , not only will I not increase the price, but I will also lower the price by [-]% and sell the grain to you!"

A trace of confusion flashed across George's face at Lightning's words, and he asked in puzzlement, "Isn't this grain... just for eating? What else can it be used for?"

Lightning shook his head and smiled, "I can't tell you this! You can just go back and wait in peace."

George frowned and said: "But I can't wait, the people of Yi Country can't wait, they are almost out of rice to cook!"

Lightning tutted and said, "George, this batch of food belongs to me. You can only take it away when I tell you! If you don't like it, then you can ask others for food!
Lightning's attitude suddenly became tough, which made George startled, and said bitterly: "Mr. Lightning, you...you can't do this. Now there are only three ships of food left in Iraq, who else can I ask for food?"

Lightning said coldly: "If that's the case, then you should listen to me and obediently go back and wait. When the time comes, someone will deliver the food to you! Anyway, they have been waiting for so many days. What's the point of waiting another day or two?" George said quietly: "Mr. Lightning, you should know that I had a peace agreement with Mr. Li Xiaogang back then, and I can definitely go to the court to sue..."

Before he finished speaking, Lightning rushed to say: "I think the prosecution will be avoided. Even if you sue, I don't have time to go to court to waste time with you. Just calculate how much liquidated damages we should pay you, I will immediately send someone to pay you a lot of money, so you are satisfied? But in the future, you will never get a grain of food from us again."

Today, the worldwide drought has made it difficult for those grain exporting countries to be self-sufficient, let alone supply and export. George can only import grain from China. If the door of China is also closed to him, then George's grain The business is probably coming to an end.

After figuring out the joints involved, George sighed silently, who let the initiative rest in the hands of others?
"Okay, Mr. Lightning, I'll wait a little longer, but I still want you to know that the people of Iraq have been hungry for a few days, and I'm afraid they won't be able to wait for too long!"

Lightning waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about this, you will see the food in one day if it is fast, or in two days if it is slow!"

Following the example of the Chinese people, George clasped his fists at Lightning and said in a low voice, "In that case, I will leave everything to Mr. Lightning!"

After finishing speaking, George shook his head and walked out a little lonely.

"It's been a long time since I've seen him so downcast!"

Looking at George's back, Zhu Mingyan shook his head and sighed.

"There is no other way. Now this batch of food will be of great use. I can't just give it to him. However, after this incident, I can see that this George is really different from other businessmen. In his heart He is really pretending to be a citizen of the country of Yi, just because of this, he is worthy of cooperating with us!"

Lightning praised sincerely.

"Mr. Ambassador, General Philippe!"

A military attache from the Chinese embassy walked in with firm and heroic steps and said loudly.

"Philip? You came so fast!"

Lightning and Li Xiaogang glanced at each other, thinking to themselves.

"Since he didn't mention that he wants to see me, I think I'd better avoid it for a while!"

Lightning said and walked towards the back room with Li Xiaogang.

Philip is the highest representative of country M in Iraq. The meeting between him and Zhu Mingyan was relatively formal. Except for Shi Yuyao and Gao Yuanyuan, Shi Qiu and his wife also chose to avoid it.

Philip is about fifty years old, and he is a winning hawk by the standards of country M.

As an old soldier who participated in the Vietnam War, bombed Yugoslavia, landed in Afghanistan, and now fought in Iraq, Philip's body naturally has more iron and blood, especially those eyes, which are as deep as eagles , coupled with the natural hook-like nose, it really does not disgrace his reputation as a hawk.

Zhu Mingyan had vaguely guessed the purpose of Philip's visit this time in his heart, and he was calm on the surface, but he had already turned his thoughts away in his heart.

The two met, and after an inevitable exchange of pleasantries, they sat down as host and guest.

Philip said straight to the point: "Mr. Ambassador, the Iraqi country was able to quickly recover from the chaos of war and maintain the current situation. What do you think caused this?"

Zhu Mingyan said with a faint smile: "Naturally, it is inseparable from the efforts of your country's garrison troops and the willingness of the Iraqi people to uphold peace and tranquility." Philip shook his head and said, "The two points you mentioned can only be regarded as the second reason. I think the most fundamental reason is the existence of the sky thorns. If there is no sky thorns, it will take at least ten years for Yi country to get to where it is today. Therefore, in my opinion, your country’s sky thorns really have contributed!"

Zhu Mingyan immediately said: "General Philip, don't misunderstand. Although the Tianci is a team composed of Chinese, but he has nothing to do with our government. There is neither an affiliation relationship nor an employment relationship. As a group of Chinese people with free will, in fact, our government has very little restraint on them."

Philip frowned and said, "Oh? Is that so? In other words, if we do something about the sky thorn, the Huaxia government will not intervene, right?"

Zhu Mingyan frowned, and said with a smile: "What is the general talking about? Let me ask you, if we want to take action against some people from M country, will your country not care about it? It is our responsibility to protect the safety and interests of the Chinese people. obligation!"

Philip frowned, and said: "But if these M countrymen violate some kind of law, our government will not intervene!"

Zhu Mingyan snorted coldly and said: "Similarly, if you have evidence to prove that the Sky Spike has indeed violated an international law, you are free to take action, but before taking action, I hope you can notify us first, so as not to cause unnecessary Misunderstanding!"

Philip stood up and said with a smile: "Sure! By the way, I would like to ask Mr. Ambassador to do me a favor. Can you arrange for me to meet with Mr. Lightning, I have something to say to him!"

Zhu Mingyan thought to himself: "This old fox has really started to move!"

On the surface, he said with a smile: "Why is this difficult? I will definitely convey Mr. Philip's wishes to Lightning as soon as possible, so that the two of you can meet as soon as possible."

Philip smiled and said, "So, I'll leave it to Mr. Ambassador.

Mr. Ambassador, please tell Mr. Lightning that I will have a banquet with him at a Baghdad restaurant at noon tomorrow, and please arrive on time. "

Zhu Mingyan nodded and said: "I remember, General Philip, please rest assured!"
