Chapter 366 Campbell's Trip (1)
Zhao Jing dragged two large suitcases, while Jiang Ningyue only had a small suitcase. Zhao Jing's suitcase was filled with things she had prepared. Of course, these things were not only prepared for herself, but most of them were prepared for Jiang Ningyue.
In the airport's dedicated lounge, everyone met each other and got to know each other firsthand.
This time the Ministry of Commerce took the lead, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs only sent two people. Of course, after arriving in Campbell, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy in Campbell helped coordinate the work.
The Agency for International Development dispatched 8 people, and the Ministry of Commerce dispatched 20 people.
The Ministry of Commerce's team leader this time is Yuan Hong, a second-level inspector of the African Affairs Department.
Seeing the people from the Development Agency arrive, Yuan Hong was very enthusiastic at first, "Old Lu! I guess you will lead the team again this time."
Lu Peng, deputy director of the Development Agency's Regional Division II, smiled and waved his hand, "Director Yuan, I'm not leading the team this time."
Lu Peng introduced Jiang Ningyue, "This is Jiang Ningyue, Deputy Director of the Foreign Affairs Department and Second-Level Inspector of our agency. This time, she is leading our Development Agency team, and I am just assisting her."
"Hello, Director Yuan." Jiang Ningyue smiled and shook hands with Yuan Hong.
Yuan Hong and Jiang Ningyue shook hands briefly and asked in astonishment, "Is Director Jiang 30 this year?"
"Hah, no."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "27 years old."
"What a young hero!"
Yuan Hong sighed, but his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
He had wasted half his life just to become a second-level inspector, but the 27-year-old man in front of him, who was his nephew in his eyes, was actually on the same level as him.
How could he accept this?
After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone prepared to board the plane.
The entire journey from the capital to Campbell's capital, Cape, takes about 19 hours. The flight takes off at 9 pm and arrives at 4 pm the next day in the capital.
There is an 8-hour time difference between Campbell and the capital, so the arrival time is 8 a.m. local time.
Arrived and could start working straight away, it was perfect.
After flying to the stratosphere, Jiang Ningyue adjusted the position of her seat, put on an eye mask, earmuffs, and a neck pillow, and wrapped herself in the blanket given by the flight attendant before beginning to rest.
Yuan Hong, who was at the front, stood up and glanced at the already asleep Jiang Ningyue, then whispered to Lu Peng beside him, "Old Lu, what's going on with your Director Jiang?"
"Um?"
Lu Peng was reading a book. When he heard Yuan Hong's words, he turned his head in confusion and asked, "What's wrong with Director Jiang?"
"27, deputy department level."
Yuan Hong's face was exaggerated but his voice was very restrained. "Whose official's daughter is she?"
“Hehehe…”
Lu Peng couldn't help but smile and shook his head after hearing this. "Director Yuan, you're putting me in a difficult position. Director Jiang just came to the company yesterday. I really don't know what's going on at her home."
After saying that, Lu Peng began to read the book attentively.
"I think your director has lost his mind."
Seeing that Lu Peng ignored him, Yuan Hong also grumbled and adjusted his seat, "Letting a girl in her twenties participate in international affairs, this is simply a joke..."
Lu Peng looked helpless. How could this Yuan Hong be so much like Xianglin Sao? Didn't he really know why he'd been a second-level inspector for so many years, not even a deputy director?
At this moment, Jiang Ningyue was exchanging for 'Intermediate Pistol Shooting Skills' through the system. In fact, there was also 'Firearm Shooting Skills' in the system, but it had more points and a longer learning cycle, so Jiang Ningyue exchanged for a pistol.
In addition, Jiang Ningyue also upgraded her agent skills.
There is another thing, that is, 'Qing Feng' is also on this flight. It is my first time on a mission, so it is better for me to be cautious.
To be honest, sleeping on a plane is definitely a very painful experience. This sleep made Jiang Ningyue feel uncomfortable all over. When she woke up again and looked at her watch, it was 6:00 a.m. Beijing time.
I checked the flight map on the plane and saw that we had already reached the Black Sea. The plane would stop in Cairo for another two hours so everyone on board could get off and walk around.
Everyone on the plane was almost awake, and the flight attendants had already started serving breakfast. If they didn't serve it now, they wouldn't be able to eat after the plane landed.
After arriving in Cairo, Jiang Ningyue and Zhao Jing strolled around the airport. Lu Peng thought Yuan Hong was annoying, so he went shopping in the airport's duty-free shop under the pretext of buying cosmetics for his wife.
The plane took off again two hours later and it took another six hours to reach Campbell's capital, Cape.
At this time, Jiang Ningyue was already feeling a little restless. She had been sitting for more than ten hours, and even if she had just walked for two hours, she would still feel uncomfortable all over!
At 8 o'clock local time, the group finally arrived in Cape, the capital of Campbell.
Campbell's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Mallory, Chinese Ambassador to Campbell Zong Jian and others were waiting early at Cape International Airport.
The list of accompanying personnel had already reached Mallory, Zong Jian and others.
Unlike Yuan Hong, Mallory and Zong Jian were very polite and enthusiastic towards Jiang Ningyue.
After some pleasantries, Mallory said apologetically, "I'm very sorry, but I have an important meeting to attend at the Presidential Palace later today and can't accompany you."
After saying that, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Mallory left with an excuse.
This is actually a very rude behavior, but it also expresses a clear attitude.
That is, Campbell doesn't want to talk to them.
Before coming, Jiang Ningyue did a lot of homework and even consulted her brother-in-law Fu Aihua. Zhao Jing also told Jiang Ningyue a lot of information about Campbell.
Campbell's current president, Bruce, came to power through a coup in 2016. Due to the excellent matching mechanism of the African region, coups are commonplace on this magical continent.
However, the Americans were behind Bruce's coup.
France was Campbell's former colonial master, largest trading partner and aid donor.
After Bruce came to power, he kicked out his old boss and stood firmly by his new boss, ending the French garrison and demanding the French army withdraw from Campbell.
Because of the support of the United States, France had no choice but to use some covert means to secretly support the rebels.
However, Bruce is also ambitious. He is unwilling to be a dog for the Americans all the time. He also wants to play the game of "driving the tiger to devour the wolf" and "forming alliances", so he took the initiative to find "China".
China's investment in Campbell is increasing, not only building factories and roads but also mining its mineral resources. However, the Americans are not happy about this. This year, they approached Bruce and signed an $80 million aid agreement.
Bruce, who had gained the benefits, tore up the agreement with China and prepared to hand over the mineral resources originally allocated to China to American companies for development.
