Due to the investigation of the hijacking case, the city of Chicago is in an atmosphere of tension. Under the strategy of loosening outside and tightening inside, the U.S. Congress established a special investigation team to thoroughly investigate the matter. Since everything was questioned, the mayor became very nervous.
accurate.
And in such an frustrating situation, a guy from Qatar wanted to meet the mayor, and after the first meeting, he expressed that he wanted to contact senior officials in Washington.
Mayor Iman laughed a few times and politely rejected the other party's request - Are you kidding? One hundred thousand dollars is just enough to meet and take a photo. You want me to match you with someone you've never met before?
Do you think I am a fool? If something happens, who will bear the responsibility?
His Excellency 'Maktoum' from Qatar was not bothered, as if he didn't care about the one hundred thousand dollars wasted. But then Mayor Iman discovered that this tycoon from the Middle East had become extremely active.
On the night of the meeting, the Chinese Consulate General in Chicago held a dinner to entertain diplomats from various countries. Since Chicago is the third largest city in the United States, there are consulates from many countries here, and such dinners are often held for any reason. Mayor Iman
Naturally, I was invited to participate.
Originally, the mayor planned to come here and walk around for five minutes, but when he entered the dinner venue, he found that it was quite lively. The 'Maxim' whom he met during the day was speaking Arabic and chatting and laughing with a bunch of Middle Eastern diplomats.
.
"That kid is very popular!" Mayor Yiman was a little surprised. He asked the assistant next to him, "What are they talking about?"
The assistant found a translator and carefully approached Maxim. After listening for a few minutes, he came back and said: "Diplomats from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq and other countries are gathering together. They seem to be discussing oil and dollar issues.
The rhetoric is rather radical.”
It sounds very noble...
The mayor still didn't understand the origin of this 'Maxim', so the Saudi Consul General in Chicago took the initiative to bring 'Maxim' over and introduced him: "This is Maxim, the child of my friend's family.
A hero among Qatar’s young generation.”
Mayor Iman could only shake hands and think of how to exchange a few words. But 'Maxim' on the opposite side did not let him go, and said with a hidden smile: "Your Excellency, the mayor and I met at noon, but
It seems to have been forgotten."
"Oh..., no!" Mayor Yiman smiled awkwardly, changed the subject and asked: "What did you talk about so happily just now?"
"Regarding the issue of U.S. drone sales. The situation in the Middle East is unstable now, and we hope that the U.S. government can lift the embargo on military sales to the Middle East. For example, in terms of large military drones, we are still very interested in American products.
However, since the U.S. government refuses to sell the most advanced drones, we can only buy low-end products from China that are slightly worse in performance but much cheaper. Although low-end products are also very useful, we still hope to use high-end products anyway.
We are not short of money."
'Maxim''s words reached the heart of the Saudi Consul General. At this time, diplomats from other Middle East regions also joined in and expressed their hope to obtain the most advanced weapons made by the United States. It would be best if they could provide some military assistance.
of.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a government official in this area. Although I'm willing to help, I can't influence this." Mayor Iman was very slick.
"Of course I know that your abilities are limited, and I don't have high hopes for you. After all, you are not the president of the United States. We just want to use your channels to get to know some high-level people who can influence this matter." 'Maxim' said with a smile, "
In fact, there are many American friends who are helping to promote this matter, and it seems to be relatively smooth now."
Boy, you can easily get flattered if you talk like this!
Mayor Iman was very dissatisfied with the way ‘Maxim’ spoke. He was simply arrogant and dared to look down on him. The second meeting ended on such an unhappy note.
One day later, Mayor Iman found himself meeting Maxim again, this time on TV. Because Mr. Trump said that he would re-investigate the '911' incident more than ten years ago, a special press conference was conducted for this purpose.
debate.
In the news connection, 'Maxim' faced off against Hale, the U.S. special envoy for the Middle East. He was eloquent on the TV show and cursed the U.S. government for its perfidy and being the mastermind behind the war.
"Most countries in the Middle East have always maintained good diplomatic relations with the U.S. government, but we have been betrayed. Before the U.S. intervened in the Middle East, it promised to be responsible for our security. But now there is war in the entire Middle East, and our national security has been seriously affected.
threaten."
"I have always believed that the United States is a responsible major country, but now I am very disappointed. The American democratic system is not suitable for us in the Arab world. I feel that it is necessary to review our diplomatic relations with the United States."
"I call on the U.S. government to change its current arrogant attitude and seriously consider the current international situation. The Middle East is still an important oil producing area in the world, but we do not necessarily have to be tied to the United States. I am here for stability and development. Please
Do not disappoint me."
This topic of lecturing the American emperor is discussed with great enthusiasm and style!
But…….
Boy, you will really get beaten if you talk like this!
The broadcast of this program triggered a wave of condemnation across the United States. White Americans called this "Maxim" like a clown who was not qualified to make irresponsible remarks on the national policies of the United States.
But 'Maxim' dared to speak, dare to complain, dared to curse, and was fearless. He immediately won the love of a large number of green believers in the United States, and was even invited to attend dinners held by many Middle Eastern countries' embassies. He was praised as
The rising star of tomorrow.
‘Maxim’ quickly transformed from a wealthy young man from the Middle East into an expert on Middle East issues. He frequently appeared in reports in major American media. There were even rumors that he was the special envoy of the Qatari royal family. Qatari officials did not deny this.
Mayor Iman was really interested in this kid. He inquired about it and learned that the news program he could appear on was recommended by the Qatari ambassador to the United States and was funded by the Saudi ambassador.
Nowadays, the diplomatic circles in the Middle East praise Maxim for his good image, good eloquence and quick thinking, and that he can well represent the image of the Arab world.
Damn it, this guy really has some background and ability, right?
Mayor Yiman really regretted it. If he had known that this guy was so capable, he shouldn't have been too cold. But then his assistant came over and suggested: "Mr. Mayor, maybe we can take the initiative.
This Maxim has built such a momentum that he will soon be able to get to know the senior officials in Washington without us. Helping us now will allow us to establish some channels and close the relationship with the above, which will be helpful to your future career.
."
It seems to make sense!
"Well, maybe we should meet him again. Where is this kid now?"
