Chapter 381 Respect
Of course, although it is the most likely, the French view behind this espionage incident is still just a guess.
No matter who it is in the end, the most important thing for Kolo is to find a way to avoid intervention by those countries while taking precautions.
Although France is now unlikely to be like the United States and directly find an excuse to "invade" Colo.
But we must also understand that since Barron was able to support the Colo Liberation Front behind the scenes to carry out a coup to overthrow the government of Nassing Dema, France can also do the same.
This is why during this period, they transferred most of the force of the Koro Legion to Loti.
At the same time, Colo's security department is also monitoring government officials and some pro-French people...
To guard against the possibility of another "coup".
In addition, we are looking for support for Kolo. Of course, this support mainly comes from England.
One of the more optimistic aspects of the current situation is that Barron's identity is that he is the Duke of England. Therefore, because of this, France will be somewhat scrupulous about anything he does to Collot.
In addition, if Kolo joins the Commonwealth, it will play a certain role.
Finally, the most important thing is of course the binding of interests!
After talking to Inkster, Barron did not take a rest because Jamei Bongo arrived.
As the president of Kolo, after Barron arrived in Loti, Jamei Bongo still needed to come to see him in person.
After all, His Highness the Duke is his "finance owner". Not only that, Jamei Bongo also understands how he got to his current position. If he can sit, another person can too. Therefore, for him to be able to continue to successfully survive this presidential term in the next four years, or even continue to be re-elected, it is also necessary to show due respect to Barron.
"Hello, Mr. Bongo, I'm sorry to have you come here so late..."
"This is as it should be, Your Highness the Duke. After all, this is your first time coming to Colo, and the last time we met, I also benefited a lot.”
Seeing that Jamei Bongo has not been inflated by being in a high position during this period, and can still position himself-at least for now. , Barron's attitude towards him was also very polite.
“I also know the recent things. The mineral deposits in Kolo belong to all the people of Kolo. If some people want to get their hands on it, we will not sit back and wait for death. Today, I just hope to be able to work with you. You have reached a consensus..."
"Yes, Your Highness the Duke, Ke Luo is now extremely eager to develop, but faces the dilemma of lack of funds. This time, God has blessed us and allowed us to find the treasure buried under the sea. This is a gift from God to all the people of Colu. I swear that I will do my best for you and Keluo. People of Luo, protect this wealth.”
...
In a friendly atmosphere, Barron and Jammeh finally reached a consensus.
In general, Jammeh Bongo is still a very pragmatic president, and he has indeed devoted his efforts to the implementation of Kolo's policies.
Of course, at the beginning, Barron also made a promise to Jamei Bongo. As long as he can successfully complete his term, in addition to being hired by the West African Group with a high salary after the expiration of his term, In addition to consulting, his family will also receive a percentage of the West African Group's shares.
These shares are enough to make Jamey Bongo’s family an influential family in Colo, or, in other words, a family similar to the Bush family and the Kennedy family in the United States...
Based on Kolo, the West African Group needs to win over or create some local forces. This method of control can be said to be similar to that of Britain during the colonial period, which is to control the colonies through local "chiefs"... …
But now we can no longer call It's a "colony", but a country...
...
After sending Jamei Bongo away, Barron stretched out and said to Wang Wanting beside him Said:
"Have you chosen the bedroom?" "Yes, Your Highness the Duke."
"I'm going to have a rest. You should also rest early. I have been working hard all day today and I must be tired. There are still many things to do tomorrow..."
After returning to the master bedroom of the villa Afterwards, Barron saw that only the faint bedside lamp was lit, and Fan Bingbing seemed to be immersed in sleep.
Barron went to bed gently, but heard the woman beside him murmur:
"Are you back?"
"Aren't you asleep yet?"
Barron held Fan Bingbing in his arms. She found a comfortable position on the man's shoulder, looked at him sleepily, and said softly:
"I slept for a while, but I couldn't sleep deeply. I woke up after a while..."
Barron knew that she must be in a strange environment, and her inner guard was still there. .
He kissed her on the forehead:
"Come, let's sleep together."
"Yes."
In Barron's arms, the woman soon fell asleep.
……
On the third day when Barron came to Loti, the capital of Kolo, 1,000 heavily armed soldiers of the Protector military company who had been performing tasks in Iraq for more than 3 months The armed personnel arrived at Loti Airport immediately on a transport plane of the US-British coalition.
In this way, the armed forces of the capital Loti were strengthened.
Before Barron arrived, Colo Petroleum Company had already announced some information about Block 1 of the offshore oil field with estimated reserves of more than 500 million tons, and completed the first phase of development of this block. conducted an external tender.
Now, a steady stream of workers and related equipment are beginning to arrive at Loti Port, and from there, they start heading to Block 1 to prepare for drilling the first exploratory well.
It is conceivable that with the development of Block 1, more and more relevant personnel will flow in from Loti's side, just like China Oilfield Services Company, and Colo's side will specially provide them with An area has been designated for the construction of their logistics support center - many prefabricated houses have been shipped there and will be ready soon.
“How do you feel here?”
Barron said to Fan Bingbing beside him.
After breakfast today, she accompanied Barron on a tour of parts of Loti, the capital of Colo. Now she is on a high ground in Loti Port, looking around. Fan Bingbing said:
“It’s okay, many places are different from China...well, China is a little different, but it’s quite interesting.”
In fact, no matter how backward a country is, , in a place like the capital, there must be a certain area that can still be seen...
The same is true here in Colo, just like Barron took Fan Bingbing to visit before , are mostly "rich areas" in Loti where government officials and businessmen are the majority. Whether it is the buildings or the cleanliness of the streets, they are relatively good.
But now most areas in Lottie, not to mention London where Barron lived before, are far inferior to some remote towns in China at this time...
