Chapter 368 Campbell (3)

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the banquet ended and Jiang Ningyue returned to the hotel.

After she came back, she first checked carefully and found no eavesdropping devices or cameras. Then she sent a WeChat message to Qingfeng.

Yue: [What happened?]

Feng: [That grandson is still in the Presidential Palace, entertaining ambassadors from other countries. I don't think he'll be coming out tonight.]

Yue: [I'll give you a phone number. You can talk to him. He's my man.]

After learning that she was coming to Campbell, Jiang Ningyue contacted her mercenary group in Africa and asked them to send a team to Capet.

Now this team has been hiding in Cape, waiting for Jiang Ningyue's instructions.

Although they were African mercenaries, they were, after all, tools of the system. Their military proficiency was absolutely unmatched in the African region. They wouldn't do anything ridiculous or incomprehensible.

Now that Qingfeng has this group of people, he doesn't have to keep an eye on them anymore.

Moreover, the skin color of these mercenaries made it easier for them to blend in. In the African region, secret sentries of this level would hardly be discovered.

——

In the Capetian Presidential Palace, President Bruce was also hosting a banquet for everyone.

Those who accepted the banquet were American Ambassador Enoch, French Ambassador Babbitt, and Mithril International Mining Director Pete, accompanied by the President's wife Penelope and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Mallory.

Bruce, a native of Campbell Cape, attended elementary school for a few years before joining Campbell's army. He worked diligently and rose to the rank of captain. At the time, the United States was seeking to expand into Africa, so it offered Campbell several places to study abroad.

The young and ambitious Bruce was sent to study in the United States, where he met his current wife Penelope.

Although Penelope is also black, she is an orthodox American. Even if Penelope is willing, Penelope's family does not want their daughter to run back to the small African country.

At this time, the CIA found Bruce and claimed that they could help Bruce marry a "black, rich and beautiful" woman, become President Campbell, and reach the peak of his life.

Bruce agreed without hesitation.

With the help of the CIA, he won over a group of mid-level military officers and controlled more than 200 top soldiers. He then relied on these 200 people to launch a military coup, stormed the presidential palace, killed the former president, and became the new President Campbell.

However, the twisted thing about Bruce is that he is actually a spiritual Frenchman.

It is equivalent to France being his "biological father" and America being his "adoptive father".

Back then, without America's support, he couldn't take this position and had to obey his adoptive father in everything. But now Bruce has grown stronger, with three armies under his command, a powerful army of 6,500 people, and 10 fighter jets purchased from his biological father and adoptive father.

Such strength may not be enough in other places, but on the African continent, it will have no problem defending the capital.

So Bruce became ambitious and wanted to mediate the conflict between his 'biological father' and 'adoptive father'.

At the banquet, Bruce smiled and raised his glass. "I called you two here this time because I hope you can put aside your past grudges and work together sincerely in the future. Regarding the mining area issue, can you two sit down and work together?"

French Ambassador Babbitt's eyes lit up, and he raised his glass with a smile and said, "Mr. President, Mr. Enoch and I have never had any conflicts. We in France have always wanted to help Campbell."

Bruce smiled and nodded, then turned to look at the American ambassador, Enoch, "Mr. Enoch."

Enoch slowly picked up his wine glass and said, "Mr. President, that's not what you said at the beginning. You said that if we were willing to invest, you would give us all three mining areas in return."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Bruce laughed.

These three mining areas are the only cards in Bruce's hand. He relied on these mining areas to defraud a lot of investment and sponsorship, so naturally he can't let go so easily.

The Americans and Chinese wanted to monopolize the three mining areas, and France wanted a piece of the pie. But Bruce refused to give it to anyone, and got something for nothing.

If these three mining areas were given away, how would he be able to defraud money in the future?

"Times are different now, Mr. Enoch."

President Bruce smiled and said, "As you know, there's a lot of opposition in our country about just handing over these three mining areas. They wanted to keep them for development, and I was unhappy at the time. I said that these three mining areas must be handed over to the United States for development. But as you know, we are a democratic country after all. Although I am the president, I don't have absolute say! How about this, the mining belt in the Qina area will be handed over to you for joint development first. Let's discuss the specifics first."

Bruce said that the mineral belt in the Kina area is the best among the three mining areas, with some sincerity in his statement.

Enoch's expression brightened slightly after hearing this. He slowly said, "Our request is simple: kick China out."

"Yes." The French ambassador nodded. "Kick them out first, and we can discuss the rest later."

“Ah…”

Bruce frowned. If he could kick China out so easily, would he still be able to control the United States and France?

"What? Is there a problem?" Enoch frowned.

"have."

Bruce nodded and said, "As you know, China has helped build many roads here, including water plants and power plants. These plants are already in operation, but they are all managed by China's companies. If we kick them out, will they cut off our water and electricity?"

Ambassador Enoch was puzzled. "The capital also has waterworks and power plants owned by American companies. They can fully guarantee running water and electricity to the presidential palace and officials' homes. As for the civilians, Mr. President, when have you ever cared about their lives?"

Bruce's thoughts were exposed and he immediately laughed, "Then can we let our government run these water plants and power plants?"

Enoch didn't respond, but continued to speak to himself: "Kick China out first, and everything will be easy after that."

"good."

Bruce nodded, "I'll have a meeting with them tomorrow."

After that, they started drinking and chatting again, and the First Lady found an excuse to leave.

After the President's wife left, Peter, the director of Mithril International Mining, who had been silent the whole time, took a watch box from his secretary with a smile, opened it, and found a Patek Philippe 6300 inside.

"Mr. President, nice to meet you. This is the gift I prepared for you. I believe only this Patek Philippe is worthy of your elegance."

Bruce took the watch, his eyes filled with greed and joy. "It's 6300! Wow, how did you know I like this watch? I'm so happy, Pete, you are Pete, right? From today on, you are my best friend!"

A trace of contempt flashed in Peter's eyes, but his face was still full of smiles. "Mr. President, if you can kick China out as agreed tomorrow, then I have a special gift for you."

"oh?"

Bruce was a little curious, "What gift?"

Peter pulled out a photo from his phone. It showed a pair of beautiful young European girls, who appeared to be twins. "These two admire the President very much and have always wanted to meet him!"

Bruce couldn't help but lick his lips upon seeing the girl on his phone. Even though he was the president of a country, his wife had an American background, so he couldn't afford to make things too awkward with her. He usually kept his mistress secret. And a beautiful white mistress like this was even rarer.

"Mr. Pete, I like your gift. Where are they now?"

"Hey! Mr. President, don't be anxious. How about waiting until tomorrow?"

"Okay, okay."

Bruce nodded quickly.
