C21 Chapter 21

Well, it was a smooth ride. Above was the blue sky, and below was the blue water. The scenery was very beautiful. There were countless islands scattered on the surface of the sea. There were some bigger ones. . . Some were smaller. We flew past one island after another, flying for about an hour and a half. We arrived at Palm Island safely. The airport on Palm Island where the plane landed was the simplest and most peculiar airport I've ever seen. After meeting President Darryl, I'll look back and tell you in detail about that unforgettable airport.

When I arrived at the airport, someone was already waiting for me. That was something that Powers had arranged beforehand. Powers told me that President Daru agreed to meet me, that someone would pick me up when I get to Palm Island and take me to President Daru.

I never thought I'd have a chance to come to Palm Island. Palm Island was a tourist paradise, and the scenery was obviously better than Gidor Island. However, Right now, I'm not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the car, and my mind is focused on meeting President Darryl. I carefully replayed the words I was about to say to President Daru in my mind. To be honest, I'm still under a lot of pressure trying to get Gido to support us at the RH International Conference. Think about it, When we weren't building the Jido Embassy, Gido had supported us many times. Now we have the embassy, In front of an agent, under these circumstances, If we don't get Gido to support us, that's not right. That's my dereliction of duty.

The car stopped in front of a house in Lin Hai. The house was very unique and had a unique style in the Southern Continent. The outside looked like a thatched hut, but the design and construction were modern. It should be considered a high-end residential area. After getting out of the car, someone led me into the corridor outside the house. This kind of shed is very practical on tropical islands. It is both beautiful and comfortable, able to block the rain and sun. It also allowed one to breathe.

I sat down on the bamboo chair, and after a while, President Daru came out of the room.

"Mr. Agent, what are you doing here?" Daru asked with a smile. What brings you here?

"Hello, President, nice to meet you," I smiled and said.

We shook hands, Darryl invited me to sit, and he himself also sat down in a bamboo chair.

"Mr. President, I'm sorry to interrupt your vacation" I said. As he spoke, he took out a pen and notebook from his bag.

"Mr. Agent, I'm glad you're here" Daru said, "I heard from Permanent Secretary Powers that you have something important to discuss with me"

"Yes," I said. Then I told President Darryl everything about the RH International Annual Meeting that some countries wanted to propose against us, and we hoped to get Gido's support and so on.

"Oh, I see" Daru said after listening, "No wonder you were in such a hurry to see me. Two days ago, Powers called me. He told me about this matter, but didn't explain it clearly. I told them to leave it to the Vice President to decide. "

"I wanted to see the Vice President, but I didn't see him. Also, you know, some countries are still playing tricks behind his back. So, I can only come and disturb you," I said.

" I understand. I think, there is one thing. . . You know," Darru became serious. " Our two countries are friendly countries, good friends. On international issues, We share the same view as you, no matter what others say, Do what, we have always firmly stood together with you. As long as I am on stage for a day, This stance will not change. "

I earnestly listened and wrote down Daru's words in my notebook.

" It's the same this time, "Daru continued. "We will continue to support you. I will greet the Vice President. In addition, you said that some countries are causing trouble behind our backs. If you don't say, I also know who it is. If you don't care about it, there will always be people who will say that you did not do it right. Even so, you didn't do it well. We know who we are, and we also know who is close to us in terms of relationship. So, I told Powers that whatever the Clock Office wants us to do. . . We must support it. "

" Thank you, sir President, Your words have touched me quite a bit," I said. This is not a polite remark. Daru's words really touched me.

"It's only natural. You know, in my opinion, supporting you guys is also supporting ourselves," Daru said.

"Thank you again, sir President," after hearing Daru's words, I felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off my shoulders.

"You're welcome" Daru said.

"Also, Mr. President, regarding the hospital and medical team, there is some progress," I changed the topic, "we will first provide Gido with some medicine, medical equipment, and consumables"

"How about this, Mr. Agent, it's time for lunch. Why don't you join me for lunch, and we can talk while eating," Daru said.

"No, thanks for the President's invitation," I said, "I have to go back immediately, Ambassador Juhua is still waiting for my news"

"Then I won't keep you. About the hospital and medical team, Let's go back to Gido and talk again," Daru said.

"That's a promise," I got up and said goodbye. I held Daru's rough hands tightly.

" I wish you the best. Also, say hello to Ambassador Juhua for me. " As Daru speaks, he sends me to the front of the car.

After saying goodbye to Daru, I quickly returned to the airport, got on the plane, and in front of me was the runway. I took a deep breath. Right now, there is only one plane left to complete the mission.

I am still sitting diagonally behind Kapton. Kapton wait for me to sit properly and fasten my seatbelt. I'll start the plane. After a while, the plane was on the runway. Kapton increased the throttle. The plane was getting faster and faster. Just as I thought that the plane was about to take off, Kapton suddenly panicked and operated. The plane started to brake. The brakes came too suddenly and too violently. My body, which was originally leaning backwards, suddenly charged forward. Then, I was tightly pulled by the seatbelt. My head almost hit the back of the front passenger seat.

The airplane suddenly stopped amidst the ear-piercing sound of the friction between the wheels and airport runway.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Agent," Kapton stopped his hand, turned around and said to me, "There was a child on the runway just now. It was so close, I almost hit him. "

I looked out and saw a child standing in the middle of the runway. He was right in front of the plane and hadn't gone far. It was really dangerous. If it wasn't for Kapton finding out in time and stopping the plane quickly, this child would have died a long time ago.

Kapton stopped the engine and jumped off the plane. I heard Kapton teach the child a lesson.

I didn't get off the plane. I was still sitting in my seat. I now have time to carefully look at this simple and strange airport in front of me. Although it is called an airport, there is actually only one runway. The runway was opened up in a coconut grove. There was not a single inch of cement. It only looked like a patch of grass. Of course, it wasn't very accurate to say that it was a patch of grass. The runway had once been paved with sand and stones. After a long time, no one cared. Grass grew on the runway. On the grass that grew out, one could vaguely see the tracks made by the wheels of the plane. It proved that this was the runway.

When I came, I only saw coconut grove and grass in the air, I didn't find any runway at all. When Kapton aimed the plane at the grass, I thought that he was wrong. When he saw that the patch of grass was the runway, I found that runway was especially short. Can the plane stop on such a short runway? I thought to myself. Before I could react, The plane landed. It is often said in English, Softland and Hardland. If one landed on such a runway, it would only be a hard landing. It was impossible to land on a soft land. The plane on the hard land tremblingly charges forward. I can clearly feel that the plane is heading straight for a distance. The head of the plane began to rise and its speed quickly decreased. When Kapton drove the plane back, I found that this runway has its wonders. Usually, the runway was built on flat ground, but this runway was built on a slope. One high, one low. The plane landed on the lower end. Then, it climbed up the slope, and with the help of the slope's resistance, it could stop very quickly. It didn't need to slide as long as it normally did.

Kapton finished lecturing the child and circled the plane once more before returning to the pilot's seat.

"If it wasn't for my quick reaction, something big would have happened today," Kapton said as he restarted the plane, "I told them to surround the runway and not let anyone pass through it. They just wouldn't listen. "

Hearing Kapton's words, I really opened my eyes. So this airport is an open-air one. It's completely different from my concept of an airport.

Taking off is also accelerating from the lower end of the runway to the higher end. Borrowing the slope to take off. This was pretty much the aircraft carrier's take-off mode. After the aircraft took off, I turned around to look. I couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. It turned out that the highest point of the plane that took off was a steep cliff. In other words, if one wasn't careful when landing, If the plane rushed out a little bit, it would fall off the cliff. The plane would be destroyed and people would die.

The plane, on the other hand, flew steadily for a period of time. I had time to take out the sandwich I brought with me from my bag and eat it. Only then did I realize that I was already very hungry.

The weather on the sea was unpredictable. At first, it was clear for tens of thousands of miles, but soon, clouds appeared in front of them. Small planes were most afraid of clouds, and clouds often carried air currents. Kapton operated the pilot shaft, making the plane climb up while dodging to the left and right, trying to avoid the clouds as much as possible. Obviously, he was avoiding the air currents.

Whatever he was afraid of would come. The plane that was flying normally earlier was suddenly attacked by the strong air current. It shook violently and fell dozens of meters away. The sudden fall made my internal organs feel like they were going to fly out of my chest.

"Mr. Agent, we have encountered a strong airflow. Please fasten your seatbelt," Kapton shouted at me while holding the joystick tightly. I guess that Kapton must have wanted to climb up and rush out of the strong airflow.

My brain is working quickly. If something happens, what I'm most worried about is that I won't be able to report what Darryl said to Ambassador Juhua at the first possible moment. I can only place my hopes on Balls. Darryl said that he will contact Balls. If something happens to the plane, I think Balls will definitely contact the ambassador who lives in Hua. The only regret is that I can't see the bearded man bungee jumping.

Another strong gust of air came at me, and the plane flipped over. The plane that had flipped over did not return to its balance. Instead, it was like a kite with a broken string, with one wing high. The other wing was low, shaking as it fell towards the sea. The fall this time was even more terrifying than before. If the plane continued to lose control, it would fall into the sea. The plane would be destroyed and people would die.

In just a few seconds, the plane had already fallen very close to the surface of the sea. I can already see the waves on the surface of the sea, white and rolling. I can even vaguely see sharks swimming under the sea. If we continue to fall, the plane will dive into the sea.

And here it is. In that instant, I felt my body suddenly being pulled.
