It’s really a wonderful feeling to accidentally go abroad. Although those present, except Hu Guang, have never been abroad, most of them often go abroad for business or travel, especially Dongfang Ke, who has been traveling in Europe for several years.
, what scene have I never seen before...
com
But he has really never seen such a scene. The embassy of a country is not just accessible to anyone who wants to. There are armed police standing guard at the door, hanging a shiny copper sign, standing on the quiet embassy lawn, a kind of
The pride of being an all-powerful person on the diplomatic stage arose spontaneously, and several people couldn't help but puff up their chests, thinking to themselves that they had already represented the image of the country at this moment.
Although Western Saddamoa is only a small West African country, it still has the right to vote in the United Nations. This is the same regardless of big or small countries. Moreover, Western Saddamoa established diplomatic relations with China relatively early and recognized the government of the People's Republic of China as soon as it became independent.
, sent a diplomatic mission to Beijing, and with a stroke of his pen, Premier Zhou allocated a piece of land in Sanlitun for them to build the embassy. From building materials to construction, everything was taken care of, without letting the West Sadamoya government pay a penny.
.
West African friends are also very loyal. When China returned to the United Nations in the 1970s, West Sadamoya's ambassador to the United Nations cast a solemn vote and brought China back to the international stage. Premier Zhou also sent out a large number of officials with a stroke of his pen.
The engineering team assisted in the construction of the San Juan airport and port. The friendship between the two countries has a long history and has lasted for generations. It is not an empty talk.
"I have prepared a dinner for everyone, please come." Jose made an inviting gesture, and everyone walked towards the embassy gate. This is a two-story building in the style of a Western garden house. It is not so much an embassy as it is a western garden house.
It is better to say it is a small villa. Because Western Saddamoa is a small country and it is impossible to send a large mission, Premier Zhou built them a smaller house at his discretion. With a garage and a garden, the whole yard was also small.
It's quite big, but it's quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle, and the greenery is very good. Once you come in, you'll feel like you're fascinated...
The decoration in the bungalow is a bit old, there are some faint traces of moths on the carpet, and the paint on the stair railings is also peeling off. The embassy staff are waiting for their arrival in the living room. There are only three people in total, one in height.
A tall Hispanic woman with passionate and unrestrained eyebrows. A pair of young men and women, with standard mixed-race appearance and complexion. The man is wearing a military uniform with a golden ribbon hanging on his shoulder. The woman is wearing a dress skirt. She has a slim figure and a pair of long legs.
The ratio of legs to body is amazing...
The ambassador introduced them: "This is my wife, Clarice. She is South American. Well, she is a dual citizen now. This is my son Fidel, who is also the military attache of the embassy. This is my daughter Bo."
Ji, secretary of the embassy."
Everyone was dumbfounded. Originally, Jose's skin color was lighter than that of ordinary black people. Unexpectedly, he actually found a South American white man as his wife and gave birth to a pair of children who retained the advantages of their parents' ethnicity. They had bright eyes, beautiful body proportions, and beautiful skin color.
It is already very light, with a high nose bridge, big eyes, and a lively look, looking like a golden boy and girl.
Moreover, this family takes on all the duties of the embassy and does not bother outsiders at all. This is good because the cost is lower. With the outside drivers and bodyguards, the total number of members of the embassy does not exceed ten. It does not cost a lot to maintain the normal operation of the embassy.
money...
Liu Ziguang also introduced his subordinates to the ambassador's family, including senior assistant Wei Ziqian, diplomatic secretary Dongfang Ke, private pilot Bei Xiaoshuai, and security assistant Hu Guang. The guests and hosts shook hands warmly and friendly, and everyone tried their best to maintain their friendship.
The diplomatic style in my mind is full of laughter, neither humble nor overbearing.
Taking advantage of the free time before the meal, Jose introduced them to the large photos on the wall, including a photo of Jose's father and Premier Zhou, as well as a photo of young Jose and the then foreign minister, each in black and white.
The photos show the history of the embassy and the deep friendship between the people of China and Spain...
The dinner began. A long mahogany table was filled with silver tableware. The waiter brought plates of Chinese and Western dishes. The ambassador and his wife went upstairs and changed into evening clothes and came down to eat. The military attaché and the secretary, a brother and sister, accompanied the guests.
Talking in the restaurant, the weather in the capital is already very hot at the end of June. In the corner of the restaurant is an old-fashioned Chunlan air conditioner with a capacity of 50 units. It is rumbling and spewing out air-conditioning with a musty smell. It seems that this air conditioner is afraid of
It's been a while since I've used it.
Although the facilities were a bit old, this was a serious diplomatic banquet. Seeing the ambassador and his family dressed so grandly, with tailcoats, evening gowns, military uniforms with ribbons, etc., made Wei Ziqian, Dongfang Ke and the others feel even more stressed.
, I deeply regretted why I didn’t come here wearing a suit. No matter what, I would have to wear a formal dress like a shirt and trousers. They were fine, wearing denim T-shirts and attended the embassy dinner openly. However, Liu Ziguang wore a relatively formal dress, a rice shorts.
Although the hunting suit with sleeves seems a bit out of place in today's society, Mr. Ambassador knows that this kind of clothing is extremely popular in Africa, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often wears such hunting suit...
The dinner used domestic dry red wine, lettuce, fruit salad, smoked fish, ham and eggs and tomato scrambled eggs bought in the supermarket. Although the dishes were not good, the tableware was all regular sterling silver, napkins and plates, candlesticks, high
The wine glasses with stems are all high-end goods, and the atmosphere is even more intoxicating. The guests and hosts chat happily in Chinese, occasionally mixed with a sentence or two in Spanish, the gentle Ambassador Jose, the warm and hospitable Ambassador's wife, and the polite
The military attaches and secretaries all made Liu Ziguang and the others feel the charm of the Sissadamoa elite. This is a kind of temperament that is a mixture of old-school Spanish aristocrats and African indigenous elites...
Mr. Ambassador said that the embassy has not received domestic remittances for more than half a year and has been unable to maintain its livelihood. As a last resort, it had to fire some staff, which also brought some difficulties to the diplomatic work. I hope Mr. Liu can lend a helping hand.
Help the embassy solve some difficulties in life.
Liu Ziguang has also done some research on the embassy's livelihood issues. The Western Saddamoa government has always been very poor. In the 1960s and 1970s, it went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs compound every now and then to catch the autumn wind. Later, my country's foreign aid policy changed, and the embassy had no way to make a living. It is impossible to maintain a living relying on the meager salary at home. If it were not for the early establishment of diplomatic relations and the free assistance of land, I am afraid that even a place for them to live would be a problem. In fact, those from small Latin American or African countries that have only recently established diplomatic relations The embassy and consulate can only rent an office in an office building. Let alone the Son of the East, they can't even open QQ. In comparison, Jose is doing well...
But living in Sanlitun, a place where people are obsessed with money and money, they will inevitably be affected by the environment and yearn for those decadent lives. There are many ways for diplomats to make money. For example, in the 1980s, Chinese passports were not easy to use internationally, such as in Guatemala and Honduras.
It is not uncommon for embassies and consulates of small countries in Hong Kong to make profits by selling their own passports, selling honorary consuls, using diplomatic vehicles, and smuggling diplomatic privileges...
Even if the tiger dies, the Jose family, although it is a small country, has great integrity and never engages in such petty things. At most, they use diplomatic bags to smuggle some imported cigarettes, cosmetics and other things to bring
My friend, it’s just a small matter. A small improvement in life is okay, but it is difficult to significantly improve the quality of life. You can tell by looking at the suit he is wearing, it is just a domestic brand that costs a thousand yuan.
Before arriving, Liu Ziguang knew that the ambassador would challenge him, and he had already prepared for this. However, he could not agree to such a thing too easily, otherwise it would appear that he was asking for something from others.
After the dinner, the two sides continued to change places for talks. In a spacious living room, the guest and host sat under a huge portrait of Premier Zhou. There was a classic white porcelain spittoon next to the large sofa. The translators on both sides sat symbolically in the back.
, holding a notebook in hand to record, Liu Ziguang saw that the time had come, and finally agreed to provide financial assistance to the Western Saddamoa Embassy, including two non-imported cars with an exhaust capacity of at least 2.0, a comprehensive renovation of the embassy, and central air conditioning.
, all home appliances including refrigerators and TVs, with a total value of RMB 500,000...
When the job was done, Jose couldn't help but talk about his family. Just as his family imagined, Jose's mother was a mix of Spanish and local black people, and Jose was a quarter of Spanish blood.
, then when he went to Cuba to study artillery at the age of 20, he met a local girl, Clarisse, and gave birth to a pair of third-generation mixed-race children. Fidel and Porky had a variety of ancestry, and they could no longer be measured by literature.
They are distinguished from the Kaya tribe. In fact, this is also the current situation in Western Saddamoa. The real elites are proud of their mixed race. Whoever has light skin color shows who has a high social status. As the elite among the elites
, Jose doesn't care about the changing of the king's flag in the country at all, all he wants is to ensure that he is comfortable as his ambassador in China.
The aid plan was finalized, and both parties were smiling. Jose invited Liu Ziguang and others to stay at the embassy, but Liu Ziguang declined politely, saying that a hotel had been arranged, so Jose sent his son to drive to see off the distinguished guests. Liu Ziguang could not refuse, so he had to agree.
.
Because there were too many people, the Son of the East could not sit down, so Fidel went to the garage to drive the Jinbei Bread out. Liu Ziguang noticed that there was a dusty white Shanghai brand car parked in the corner of the garage. It seemed that Xisadamoya
The embassy really has a long history.
A group of people filed into the car, and suddenly Brooke ran over. Her dress had been changed into jeans and a tight T-shirt. She had a pair of shockingly long legs. The black man and the excellent genes of the Cuban girl made this girl as elegant and elegant as a sika deer.
And full of vitality.
"I'll send them off too," said Brooke.
Mr. Jose loved his daughter very much and agreed immediately, so Poji jumped in the car and went straight to Bei Xiaoshuai. Under the envious eyes of Dongfang Ke and Hu Guang, she sat down next to Bei Xiaoshuai and said to him
Stretched out his hand: "Hi, handsome guy."
Bei Xiaoshuai lost his usual calmness, swallowed hard and said, "How do you know my name is Handsome?"
