The strongest peasant city

Chapter 923 Rejecting Powell

But Lightning didn't know about Nuwa Yuanshen fragments, so he didn't quite understand Li Xiaogang's words.But he didn't pay attention to this, he curled his lips and said, "I knew it. But Brother Gang, I don't understand. You can wait until the tsunami passes by the islands to calm him down. Why do you want to save the small island country? "

After hearing this, Li Xiaogang looked at Lightning dumbfounded, and said, "I never expected that you are still a cynical youth!" After a pause, Li Xiaogang said slowly, "Lightning, like you, I don't like Xiaodao Guoer at all. I even agree that they are a bunch of scum. But you can see that the world is getting smaller now. Although the spatial distance between countries still exists, the degree of mutual dependence has greatly increased. Yirong Gurong, If everything is damaged, this world is becoming a whole, maybe in the near future, nationality will no longer exist, everyone is one family!" Lightning was not convinced by Li Xiaogang, but asked suspiciously: "There will be such a day?"

Li Xiaogang said lightly: "I don't know, but I know that if the island country is completely destroyed by the tsunami, the economy of the whole world will be hit hard immediately, including China, of course. Saving the island country is actually saving China itself, Lightning, you Do you understand?" Lightning shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Some understand, and some don't quite understand. But I believe Brother Gang, follow you, that's right!" Li Xiaogang said with a chuckle: "Lightning, I found you Now the tendency of personality worship is getting more and more serious. Brat, this is not a good idea! Hehe..."

Li Xiaogang wanted to make a joke, but unexpectedly, Lightning's expression became serious.Lightning looked at Li Xiaogang faintly, with flickering eyes, and said in a low tone: "Brother Gang, my feelings for you are not only admiration, but also gratitude. Whenever the night is quiet, there will always be unconsciously appearing in my mind. The scene back then. At that time, I was just a small owner of a dance hall, and the Lightning Gang was just a small gang that couldn’t be smaller. I still clearly remember that we were surrounded by Mr. Ding’s people in the dance hall. Appeared, helped us resolve the crisis, and saved the lives of my brothers and me. For this, Scar and I will be grateful to you for the rest of our lives. What's more, it is you who made us where we are today. In China, the Lightning Gang is The leader of the underworld, Scar is the super godfather who does his part. In foreign countries, sky thorns are rampant in the Middle East. I can point at the nose of the ambassador of country M and call his mother. No one is a bird. What a prestige! Personality worship is personality worship, in short, I am following you with lightning!"

Li Xiaogang was quite moved in his heart, shook his head and said: "Brother, I am a little ashamed when you say that. I may have a little bit of credit for you and Scar to be here today, but it's just a little bit. It's your own achievements." You don’t need to be grateful to anyone but yourself!” Lightning shook his head and said, “Brother Gang, don’t say that…” Li Xiaogang interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then said, “I, Li Xiaogang, don’t need subordinates. But brothers! I have never regarded you as my subordinates, and I hope you don’t have such thoughts. The world is so big, let us brothers fight, ten years later, if you look back at today, I guarantee you will feel Your achievements today are like sesame mung beans, not worth mentioning!"

Li Xiaogang's words shook Lightning's heart, and he looked at him in a daze. Li Xiaogang smiled mysteriously and looked up. Under Li Xiaogang's guidance, Lightning also raised his head and looked up involuntarily.Just when Lightning was puzzled, Li Xiaogang suddenly asked faintly: "What did you see?" "The ceiling..." Lightning didn't react, and replied without thinking.Li Xiaogang glared at him with a wry smile and said, "Nonsense, do you think I'm blind? Let me ask you about the top of the ceiling!" "The sky?" Lightning murmured, a little dazed by Li Xiaogang's scolding.

"What about above?" Li Xiaogang asked again. "Space? Universe?" Lightning said uncertainly.Li Xiaogang nodded, and said solemnly: "That's right, it's the universe! Lightning, do you know what is the era of great aviation?" Lightning shook his head in confusion, and Li Xiaogang said slowly: "Now humans still They can only move in the small space above the earth. They can’t break out of the solar system and go to the space beyond the Milky Way. Arbitrarily traveling in the space outside the solar system is like interstellar travel, imprinting human footsteps anywhere in the universe."

Lightning was stunned, then slowly came back to his senses, and said leisurely: "It sounds good, but I'm afraid it will be impossible to realize before I close my eyes." Li Xiaogang shook his head with a smile and said: "No, This day will come soon, and it will be so fast that you can't imagine." Li Xiaogang's words made Lightning stunned again, his eyes were full of doubts and confusion, and there was also a trace of expectation.Li Xiaogang's words sounded like sleepwalking, which seemed very unrealistic, but Lightning has been with Li Xiaogang for so long, and he knows him well, knowing that Li Xiaogang never targets without purpose, as long as he says what he says, it will definitely come true.With this complicated mood, Lightning became Li Xiaogang's first witness to create the era of great aviation.

While Li Xiaogang was chatting with Lightning, an angry Powell broke into Du Ziji's office in the Capitol without notification.For Powell's actions, Du Ziji seemed to be used to it, but he frowned slightly, then stood up from his chair with a smile, and said, "Powell, my old friend, what wind brought you here ?” Powell didn’t speak, and sat down on the leather sofa in Duzki’s office in a huff.Because of Powell's excessive force, a large piece of the leather sofa was deeply dented, making a painful creaking sound, which made Du Ziji feel a little distressed.

"Mr. President, do you know that I was attacked on your country's territory?" Powell unbuttoned his suit, took a long breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly.Du Ziji was surprised when he heard this. The Western world headed by country M is the biggest customer of Saudi oil.If this big customer is offended, which in turn affects the entire Western world, then Saudi Arabia will suffer a great loss.He couldn't help cursing a few words in his heart, the damn terrorist will cause him trouble!Mistakenly believed that the person who attacked Powell was a terrorist. "Mr. Ambassador, you have been attacked? Who has the guts? I'll let the special agents investigate, and I will definitely find out these people and vent my anger on you!"

"No, I know who attacked me? Mr. President just needs to get justice for me!" Powell said with a cold face. "Oh? Who are they?" Du Ziji asked in surprise. "Huaxia Embassy!" Powell paused every word, gritting his teeth and spit out these five words.Du Ziji was taken aback by these five words. He couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Powell with a dull expression, and asked in a low voice, "You... Who are you talking about?" "Huaxia Embassy! Shen Zhenxin They attacked my convoy and injured my bodyguards, I want you to come forward immediately and ask Shen Zhenxin to apologize to me publicly, otherwise this matter will not be over!" Powell roared in a fit of rage.

Du Ziji never even dreamed that the person who attacked Powell would be the Chinese embassy.The image of Shen Zhenxin and his gentle, humble, and polite smile appeared in his mind. Du Ziji couldn't figure out why Shen Zhenxin would treat Powell like this uncharacteristically.If it was the past, Du Ziji would definitely come to the door without hesitation and question Shen Zhenxin, but this time is different.He could not afford to offend the Chinese people and the people of country M. Frowning, Du Ziji smiled and said to Powell: "Mr. Ambassador, can you tell me the whole story, I believe there must be some misunderstanding ..."

"Misunderstanding? No misunderstanding! People from the Huaxia embassy injured my bodyguard and seriously damaged the glorious image of the United States of America. The Huaxia people must pay the price for this! I demand that the murderer be severely punished and sent to prison, or Please, Mr. President, order to expel the staff of the Chinese embassy!" Before Du Ziji finished speaking, Powell stood up in a rage, and shouted without any consideration of demeanor. "No! Absolutely not!" Du Ziji was also unambiguous, stood up abruptly, and opened his mouth to reject Powell's proposal.Powell was really surprised when he heard that, it was the first time that Du Ziji resolutely denied his opinion like this.

Du Ziji realized that his emotions were a little too much, coughed, and said slowly: "Mr. Powell, you can't make it too difficult for me. You are our friend, and the Chinese people are also our friends..." "Then it's up to you Means, in Mr. President’s heart, there is no difference between us and the Chinese people? I want to remind Mr. President, don’t forget that it is our country M that eats 80.00% of Saudi Arabia’s oil, and we send you countless oil every year. clear dollars!" Powell said rudely to Du Ziji: "If Mr. President can't give me a satisfactory answer on this matter, then I have to let Mr. President down!"

Powell's arrogance and threats made Du Ziji very uncomfortable.I feel a little regretful, I shouldn't be used to this country guy, so that he is so arrogant now, even a small diplomat dares to talk to him like this.Du Ziji snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "Yes, you sent us US dollars, but the value of the oil we gave you far exceeds these US dollars! Mr. Powell, isn't it?"

"You..." Powell didn't expect Du Ziji to refute him like this, and he became a little angry for a while.

Du Ziji didn't wait for him to answer, and said again: "I'm sorry Mr. Powell, I have lunch with Mr. Shen Zhenxin, the Chinese ambassador, at noon, so I won't accompany you, please do yourself!" Powell watched Du Ziji walk away dumbfounded. Anger swept in quickly like a rising tide of sea water. "Okay, okay! Hahaha... Let's wait and see!" Powell laughed angrily, and left the presidential office with a wave of his hands.On the way out of Congress, Powell kicked over three chairs, two tables, and took away a vase for reimbursement.Seeing Powell's "fighting", the staff of Congress hid in the distance, but no one dared to come up to stop him.It can be seen how domineering Powell is on weekdays.
