The Kremlin, meaning "inner city" in Russian, is located in the center of Moscow. It is the symbol of Russia and the highest authority in Russia.
Like the White House, the Russian president also lives and works in the Kremlin.
Owen and Monica took the special vehicle of the FSB agent and passed through layers of security checks before entering the Kremlin.
In front of the presidential residence, President Wolfsky and the First Lady personally greeted him.
Seeing Owen and Monica, they greeted them enthusiastically.
"Sorry, I know there are a lot of security checks, but we have tightened security measures since the White House was captured. After the incident in the past two days, the security checks here have become even stricter."
President Wolfsky shrugged, then came up to hug Irving with a smile, and then gestured to Monica. Irving also politely greeted the first lady.
Irving handed over his gift, and the president took it and handed it to the entourage next to him. Irving estimated that President Wofsky would never be able to drink this bottle of wine in his life. As the president, his food must be strictly inspected, like this
There is no way that something of unknown origin will appear on his dining table.
"Dinner has been prepared a long time ago. You must be hungry already. Let's go in. I hope today's meal will suit your appetite."
The two of them followed the president and his wife into the inner house. The food on the table was already prepared and exuded an alluring aroma.
After handing the coat to the attendant, the group took their seats.
"These are not made by the chef, they are all made by Natalia herself. I also helped and started preparing them at two o'clock in the afternoon..."
"Oh, then I have to give it a try..."
President Wolfsky greeted the Irvings and introduced them warmly.
It was indeed a family banquet. The food was not very sumptuous, but it was full of sincerity.
Caviar, olagiyi, big ribs, hamburger steak, potato stew, barbecue and the famous red cabbage soup.
"Looks really good."
Owen gave timely compliments, and Natalia was very happy.
"cheers~"
The four of them clinked glasses and the dinner began.
This is not the first time for Owen to eat Russian food. He has tasted all these dishes at Ulyanov's place. Daliba is actually a kind of bread, and olajiyi is a traditional Russian waffle. Among them, Owen is most interested.
It's beef stew with potatoes.
This dish is a famous traditional Hungarian dish. It was once a model of communist life during the Soviet period and was Owen's favorite in his previous life.
"I'm sorry, I've wanted to invite you to dinner for a long time, but Wofsky is too busy and has hardly been idle since he came back, so he postponed it until today..."
The first lady spoke first, and Owen and Monica quickly said it was nothing. The president also explained at this time: "As you know, the Western media has been very unfriendly in the past two days. There are many follow-up steps to deal with this matter. Since Chechnya
To make such a move, Russia must give a tough response, and I need to preside over all this..."
Owen quickly said that it was nothing. In fact, he and Monica knew in their hearts that the reason why it had been delayed for several days was only one reason. On the other hand, the Russian Security Agency must conduct an in-depth investigation to ensure that this matter
Is this a ploy by the United States?
It is not in the interest of the United States to kill the Russian President, but if they happen to learn this information, it will be in the interest of the United States to arrange for Irving to rescue the Russian President. If they gain the friendship of the Russian President and the First Lady, there will be many things that can be done in the future.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why even the first lady only had a few phone calls with them, even if the president was busy.
A few people chatted while eating, and the atmosphere gradually became better with the constant clinking of glasses.
The president and his wife did not express their gratitude solemnly. Instead, they talked about a series of experiences they had experienced after they separated.
Owen and Monica had said these things, and the president must have said them to the first lady, but it was full of a different kind of joy for everyone to get together and say them again.
When it was mentioned that the children at the car recycling plant mistook the president for an alien, several people couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Are they still alive?"
Speaking of this, Owen suddenly thought.
"Yes, not even a hair is missing. They must have said a lot of bad things about me."
Several people laughed again.
Owen clearly remembered that before they left, the president specifically told the sloppy man that if someone came to find him later, scolding the president might save his family's life.
In Irving's impression, the Russian president is a person who rarely speaks harshly, but at this time, he is the most active one. As the host, he has been adjusting the atmosphere. Most of the time, he is the one who talks, and the rest
The three of them listened.
Time and time again, everyone was made to laugh by him.
When talking about the chases and gun battles along the way, the president's image in his mind collapsed. This guy described himself as extremely brave. He even attributed many of Irving's achievements to himself. The first lady next to him was full of eyes.
Little Star, the president saw Owen next to him without blushing and his heart skipped a beat, and he would wink at him from time to time. The obvious meaning was to let him keep it a secret for the time being.
Well, the president is also an ordinary person, and he also likes to brag...
After chatting for a while, the topic turned to the recent public opinion in the West. The first lady and Monica were obviously not very interested in these. The first lady joked: "Dear guest, can you borrow your beautiful wife?
I want to show her around my place..."
"Of course, just remember to give her back to me in the end."
The two women happily went to visit the presidential palace, and only Irving and President Wolfsky were left in the restaurant.
The president drank a little too much today. He looked at Irving and suddenly said: "I'm sorry Irving, I must apologize to you..."
"What?"
Owen was a little confused about the situation.
The president continued: "It was just a whim of mine when I asked you to get on the plane. It was just a temporary idea. It might be able to alienate the relationship between you and the U.S. authorities, but I didn't expect that this unexpected idea actually saved the country."
I have to thank you, thank you and Monica for everything you have done for our couple..."
Owen smiled bitterly and shook his head. He actually thought about these things afterwards, but the matter has passed. All he can say is that things are unpredictable.
"Okay, now your goal must have been achieved. The CIA definitely knows about my wife and I entering the Kremlin..."
Irving rolled his eyes, and President Wolfsky laughed.
"What are your plans in the next two days?"
"If nothing happens, I will return to China in two days. Monica will give birth in a few months..."
"How about you do me one more favor before you go?"
"What?"
Irving looked at the president curiously, and the president raised his glass and said: "How about having an anti-terrorism exchange with Alpha, the Alpha you have met. As you know, there is a trend of cross-regional cooperation among terrorists, but countries targeting
Counter-terrorism cooperation has been slow to advance. I once suggested that the United Nations establish an international anti-terrorism team. I have already thought of a name, so it will be called the Rainbow Team. All members will be selected from anti-terrorism forces in various countries to be responsible for transnational anti-terrorism operations.
, but no one responded. The United States and its Western allies are only willing to form small groups. As far as I know, the United Kingdom and the United States have created 141, but this is far from enough. They have no idea how serious terrorism has become.
To the point where terrorists are seeking multi-party cooperation, while each country is still fighting independently."
