Chapter 409 Val (5)
"oh."
Jiang Ningyue nodded. "Are there many people learning Chinese?"
"It wasn't much at first, but as China's investment in Val became larger and larger, it gradually increased."
Hongdou said a little embarrassedly, "My dream is to work and live in China after graduation."
While speaking, Hongdou glanced at Jiang Ningyue furtively.
"I wish you success."
Jiang Ningyue smiled noncommittally, but did not make the promise that Hongdou had imagined.
"But that's not how the rich people think."
Hongdou said indignantly, "They made money in our country, got green cards in the United States, sucked the blood of our country, and lived a carefree life in America."
Jiang Ningyue smiled, but did not comment. Instead, she changed the subject:
"Isn't the average local worker's salary around 1,000? Can you afford 7,000 yuan per year in tuition?"
"Of course poor families can't afford it," Hongdou said truthfully. "In order to go to college, male students can only work while attending school. If they are female students from poor families, they can only sell their bodies."
"ah?"
The female colleague who was in the car with Jiang Ning was shocked when she heard this. "Doesn't your government provide student subsidies?"
"No……"
Hongdou shook her head. "If there are any, only a few people can get them, and those people may not be poor."
As they were talking, they arrived at Penelope's most famous market - the Witch Market.
This market is equivalent to a commercial street, with all kinds of strange things.
For example - the dried corpse of an alpaca.
There were also witch products that were very popular locally, but the three of them were all party members and materialists, so naturally they would not try those things.
However, the local crystals were good, and the three of them picked up quite a few. With Hongdou around, the three of them weren't afraid of being ripped off.
——
On the other side, Sugani, the commander-in-chief of the Army of the Republic of Val, was hosting a banquet in his private residence for the officers he had won over during this period, as well as the direct officers he had trained over the years.
Sugani was ready to have a showdown today, so he found people he felt he could trust.
Including Sugani, there were 34 people in total.
At first, everyone thought that today was just an ordinary banquet as usual.
It was not until Sugani drank a few glasses of wine and dropped his glass heavily on the table that everyone at the scene looked up in astonishment and looked at Sugani.
Sugani's face flushed crimson, his eyes bloodshot. "Friends, brothers, have you truly not noticed? Our power is being eroded. How many people has that Pullman (President) planted in our ranks?"
Someone who heard this retorted nonchalantly, "He's the president after all. Isn't it normal for him to place a few people in his place?"
"What if he wants to investigate you?"
Sujiani glared at everyone and pointed his finger at them, "You, you, you, and you, can you all stand the test?"
Everyone was silent. Who among those present was not drawing a salary without working, reselling arms, bullying men and women, or doing some illegal activities?
In the past, the president of the Republic of Val was one of "themselves," and everyone else was a dog of America. Now that an independent president has emerged, they will definitely be liquidated.
Someone murmured, "But the President said that past events should be forgiven."
"Let bygones be bygones."
Sugani's eyes widened, saliva flying. "So you are innocent now? Your monthly salary is horribly low. As heroes of the Republic, you can only get a pitiful 10,000 or 20,000 Val coins each month. This is an insult to heroes!"
Sugani's staunchest brother Hubert immediately echoed, "That's right! We must overthrow this corrupt government! We must flee to the arms of America! Only in this way can we continue to enjoy our wealth and prosperity and pass it on to our descendants!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard Hubert's words.
Everyone is a fool. Who can't tell that Sugani is planning a coup?!
Currently, the total strength of the Val Republic Army is 36,500, consisting of the Army, Navy and Air Force. Among them, the Army has a strength of 25,000 and is the main branch of the military.
However, the military strength of the Val Republic is very weak, and almost all the wars it has fought since its founding have been failures.
Foreign scholars have characterized the military strength of the Republic of Val as a "service-oriented army," not a "combat-oriented army." The army's purpose is "internal," not "external."
However, Sugani, the army commander, still has great power in the Republic of Val.
At this moment, those sitting here are the backbone of the army.
They belong to the '1', '3' and '5' military brigades respectively, and these three military brigades are stationed near the capital and on the western and northern borders.
Sugani calmly glanced at the crowd, and many people had different expressions.
Even in the Republic of Val, a country where coups are commonplace, a coup requires courage.
Many young officers were in high spirits and looked excited.
The middle-aged officer looked worried. He didn't know whether Pullman would purge them, but if he rebelled, he would be shot if he failed!
Sugani took in everyone's expressions and kept thinking about his words.
At this moment, perhaps only the American ambassador can give everyone a shot in the arm.
"I'll tell you the truth."
Sugani took a sip of his wine and said slowly, "American Ambassador Tom has already come to me. His message was very clear: America supports our people's pursuit of democracy."
As expected, most people were delighted when they heard that America supported them.
Sugani continued, "If we succeed, America will immediately support us internationally. They will also provide us with substantial funding, and everyone present will be able to obtain American citizenship!"
Most people's eyes were filled with greed and surprise.
Sugani continued, "If I succeed, I won't be the only one to take the credit! Everyone here will be the master of this country!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became excited.
“Done!”
“Done!”
In addition to Sugani, at least 30 people stood up excitedly.
The two or three remaining people saw that the others agreed, and they reluctantly stood up and expressed their agreement.
Seeing this, Sugani nodded in satisfaction and said, "Let's discuss the plan."
——
After a round, Jiang Ningyue and the others returned to the hotel. Zhao Jing filled the bathtub with water and left. Jiang Ningyue soaked in the bathtub, playing with her phone. Qingfeng called,
"Boss, I got the news that America is planning a military coup in the Republic of Val."
"What?!"
Jiang Ningyue was so frightened that she almost stood up. What kind of "lucky" trait did she have?
Death elementary school student?
"What should we do? Do you leave immediately, or should I arrange for John (the mercenary) and the others to go over there?"
After knowing that she was coming to the Val Republic, Jiang Ningyue had arranged for 50 mercenaries to hide in Penelope to protect herself.
At present, it seems that these 50 people are not enough.
"Send John over here."
Jiang Ningyue pondered for a moment and said, "Don't come all of you, leave two people to guard the house."
"I'll arrange it now."
"etc."
Jiang Ningyue asked, "Then do you know who launched the coup? When did they launch it?"
"Am I a god? How could I possibly know?"
Qing Feng was speechless. "Alright, I'm hanging up."
After Qing Feng hung up the phone, Jiang Ningyue fell into deep thought. After thinking for a moment, she called Ambassador Xu Sibo.
"Ambassador, I'm Jiang Ningyue. I have news that the United States is planning a military coup in the Republic of Val."
"What?!"
