C49 49th Chapter

Our ship lost its power and drifted far away on the sea until we get back to the Gidolbess Pier. It was already late at night. Counting it up, we originally only needed four to five hours of sailing, but we drifted on the sea for a total of fifteen to sixteen hours.

I came back from Red Fish Island probably because I caught a cold and got scared on the sea, so I started to burn. After taking the fever medicine and drinking the cold medicine, I sweated a little at night. When I woke up the next morning, I felt much better.

I went around the courtyard. It had only been a few days since I left, but the originally orderly courtyard seemed to have suffered a disaster. It was a mess. The grass and the shell path were filled with messy tree branches and leaves, and there were a few holes in the fence wall. The cucumber rack that I had just set up before I walked into the vegetable field was flipped over and the cucumber seedlings were pulled up by the roots. What a pity. It seems like. . . In the few days I wasn't here, the island of Richido was attacked by a huge storm. Fortunately, the location of the dojo wasn't damaged, and the flagpole that I carefully erected was also intact. However, Before I left, I forgot to put down the flagpole, and I still feel a bit of regret and self-blame. If the storm was a bit bigger, The flagpole could have been blown away.

I raised the flag. As long as I'm at the embassy, the first thing I do in the morning is to raise the flag. When I raised the flag today, I thought of Lin Ah Liu and the descendants that Lin Ah Liu left on Red Fish Island, I suddenly have a different feeling in my heart, as if I have an additional responsibility for this place. This was a subtle change in emotions. A person's feelings towards a place. It was probably built up through small matters like this. The same goes for the diplomats.

I didn't immediately tidy up the courtyard, I can slowly tidy it up. There are more urgent things to do now. I'm going to pick up Blondie. This time I went to Red Fish Island for a long time, so I put Blondie in Brian's "Sea Grape" hotel.

After raising the flag, I drove to the "Sea Grape" hotel.

When blondie saw me, he didn't wait for the car to stop and rushed over. He ran around the car and stopped in front of my window, looking at me eagerly. Just as I opened the car door, the blondie suddenly jumped into the car. His hind legs stood on my legs and his front legs lay on my shoulders. He stuck out his tongue and licked my face.

I hugged Blondie and let him lick me. I haven't seen him for a few days and really missed him.

"You miss me, right?" I said.

The blondie ignored me and continued to lick me, as if he wanted to make up for the losses he had suffered in the past few days.

"I miss you too," I said. "So, the first thing I did today was to come and pick you up. No, the first thing I did was raise the flag. Picking you up is the second thing. "

The blondie stopped licking and looked up at me. He whimpered a few times. He seemed to understand.

"You know," I said, "every time I go out, I'm worried that I won't be able to see you. It's the same this time, almost. Last time I took a plane to Palm Island, almost, and this time I took a boat to Red Fish Island, just a little bit more. It was almost impossible to take a boat or a plane. I don't know if this is a good life or a bad one. It should be a good life. "

The yellow hair jumped onto the passenger seat. It was a familiar seat. The yellow hair half squatted on the passenger seat, looking at me for a while, then turning around to look at the windshield.

"You want to go back to the embassy? Right, blondie? We're leaving," I said. I understand that yellow hair is urging me to leave.

Brian isn't at the hotel. I got out of the car and greeted one of his employees, then took blondie to the post office. After getting the mail and newspaper from the post office, I went to the supermarket to buy some food, then returned to the embassy.

In the afternoon, I went to the Jiedudo embassy to see Renjie. Before I went to Red Fish Island, I've made a deal with Renjie. When I get back, I'll go to his place and hang a door there. Let's chat. Renjie shared the same culture as the Jido people, from top to bottom, the government officials. From normal citizens to normal citizens, they had a wide range of contact. They know a lot of people, they are well-informed. I often talk to him whenever I have something to do, and every time, I get unexpected rewards.

"Guess, who became the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?" The moment he sees me, Renjie asks.

"Didn't you say Roger?" I said. After Balls was killed, the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was vacated. Before I went to Red Fish Island, I heard that the deputy secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Roger, would be promoted.

"No, it's Mr. Depei," said Renjie.

"What did you say? Depei is the regular secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?" I was surprised.

" Yeah, we all thought it was Roger, but it turned out to be Depei, "said Renjie.

"Why?" I asked.

"It's very obvious. " Renjie shrugged and spread out his hands. "Muni has started to plan. There were less than three months left before the election. Daru knew that he didn't have much time left, so he let Muni manage the personnel arrangements. Depei is a confidant of Muni. Think about it, at this time, the seat for Powers is empty. If Muni doesn't need him, who should he use? "

" That's true, but this still surprises me, "I said.

" Who doesn't? "Renjie said. " Logically speaking, only professional diplomats like Roger are qualified to be this secret. "

"Yes," I said. I originally wanted to ask Renjie what he thought of Depei, but after thinking about it, Renjie was afraid that it would be difficult to say anything, so he gave up.

"Then. . . What do you think of the situation in Jido's election?" I changed the topic.

"Jido's political scene is currently in a fierce battle," Renjie said, "The situation is not really advantageous to which side. It's said that the opposition has received quite a bit of financial support from the outside world. Two days ago, I talked to the representative of Brown, and he felt the same way. "

" Is the representative of Brown alright? I haven't seen him in a while," I asked. I heard that Renjie and Brown had met before, so I wanted to know what they were talking about.

" It looks pretty good. I wanted to lose weight, but I didn't, "Renjie said.

"He should lose some weight," I said.

"Oh, right. Do you guys want to collaborate with Jido for a project?" Renjie asked.

"Yes, we want to collaborate with Gido to build an Oceanic Observation Station, which is still in the observation phase," I was shocked, hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth. It seems that the Oceanic Observation Station is no longer a secret. There is a saying in Gido, 'Bushhas, ears in the bushes'. The way he speaks is similar to what we call the wall with ears.

"Yes, this is the project," Renjie said. "Brown seems to be very unhappy with this project. He said that they are going to do Gido's work to stop them from working with you. "

"Is that so? He didn't say why he objected?" I asked.

"He didn't say," Renjie said, "I don't know if my feelings are right or not. As long as you guys want to do something, they don't seem to be happy. "

"Yes," I nodded and said, "you're right. "

" I think this project is not bad. It seems like I've never done it before, "Renjie said. " I'm still wondering why you guys didn't cooperate with our Foundation. "

"That's a problem," I said with a smile. "However, after the construction of this Oceanic Observation Station project, not only will it be good for Gido, it will also be good for the entire Southern Continent. "

"I think so," Renjie said.

"By the way, did you just say that there are people overseas who support the opposition? Do you know who is providing support? " After chatting about the Oceanic Observation Station, I returned to the topic at the front.

"I'm not too sure either. I heard that your people are providing financial support," said Renjie.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"I heard about it too. " Renjie shook his head and said, "Also, I heard that someone from your side recently came to Jido. "

"Someone came?" I became nervous. I remembered what Balstoyou Sufu told me. He said that someone wanted to come over, but he didn't send them a visa. Who would have thought that someone would come in a few days after Balls left.

"Yes, just a few days after you went to Red Fish Island," Renjie said. "That day, I went to pick up a businessman friend from Kibi and met a few people at the airport. I initially thought they were your people, but then I realized something was wrong. If you weren't there, they wouldn't have come. "

"You're right," I said. "Recently, no one has come. "

"I think so too, Wang Yao said. So my judgment is that person over there," Renjie said.

"Then do you know who they came to see?" I asked.

" I heard that they seemed to have seen Depei's secret, "Renjie said.

"That's very strange," I said.

"Yeah, I'm also very puzzled," said Renjie. "Also, I heard that they promised to give Gido two planes. "

"Two planes? How big are two planes? New or old? " I asked.

" Sorry, I didn't ask in detail, "said Renjie.
