Chapter 1703 It must be Desarev’s doing
At this time, in an office room on the train, Desarev and another person were staring at each other.
"Evgeny, what's going on?" Desaryev knocked on the table. "You owe me an explanation. Didn't I tell you to only accommodate the two of them in Mr. Xiao's carriage and no outsiders?"
The man he called Yevgeny said, "Lieutenant Colonel Desaryev, as you said, only Xiao Peng and Kashin were in that carriage. We didn't arrange for those two women!"
"Do you know whether their identities are reliable? I don't believe you didn't know that they entered Xiao Peng's room! If I'm not mistaken, that flight attendant is Ivandova, right? Didn't she report to you?" Desalev said.
Yevgeny said hurriedly, "Lieutenant Colonel Desarev, of course I've investigated those two girls. One is Vika Andreyevna Grinkava, and the other is Sveta Petrovna Pokrovsky. Both are members of the Karpov Chess Club in Moscow. This time they're traveling to Noyabrsk to participate in an international chess tournament. Both girls have clean backgrounds and no record of contact with external forces. Ivandova reported this to me when they entered Xiao Peng's room. After all, this journey is 61 hours, so having girls to chat with Mr. Xiao Peng and the others is a good thing."
Desaryev frowned. "Why would they go to Xiao Peng's room if they have their own berths?"
Yevgeny coughed twice and explained, "Their roommates are a couple."
"So what?" Desarev asked.
Yevgeny said, "Well, they are a relatively open couple, you know."
Desaryev's face darkened after hearing this. He coughed twice and changed the subject. "Evgeny, I don't mean to cause trouble for your Noyabrsk FSB branch, but you have to understand that Xiao Peng's safety is extremely important. Since he doesn't want us to follow him, we need to secretly take all protective measures."
Yevgeny said, "Lieutenant Colonel Desaryev, don't worry. All of us at the Noyabrsk FSB are cooperating with you. But isn't there something fishy about Mr. Xiao Peng? Two men in a room together? Is he gay? Those two beautiful girls, he had the heart to throw them out? I've heard these rich men have had all sorts of women. Is he tired of playing with women and starting to play with men?"
Desaryev was furious when he heard this: "What are you guessing about? Just remember, our job is to protect Mr. Xiao Peng's safety. His private life is not something we consider!"
"Yes!" Yevgeny said directly.
Desaryev thought for a moment and said, "No, you still have to tell Ivandova to investigate those two girls when she checks their tickets. I still don't understand why they had to change rooms on their own!"
"yes!"
In fact, Desarev's worries were unnecessary. In the carriage next to Xiao Peng and the others, Vika and Sveta were sitting on the bed, wanting to cry but unable to.
Across from them, a young man and woman were lying on the bed, kissing passionately, as if ready for a major battle. They sat there, neither sitting nor standing, neither looking nor not looking, neither talking nor silent. It was all very awkward.
Why didn't they stay in this room? This room is really too big for anyone! The train hadn't even left yet and they were already like this. It was a 61-hour journey! How did they survive those 61 hours?
And where were Xiao Peng and Ka Xin? They were tidying up their bedding.
After making the bedding, Xiao Peng took off his coat and hung it up, then changed into pajamas like Sveta and the others, and then threw himself on the sofa bed.
Kashin, sitting across from me, sighed, "It seems the Russian economy is in a downturn. It used to be so hard to get a soft sleeper ticket, and now there's a room just for the two of us."
Xiao Peng said disdainfully, "Come on, if Desarev hadn't done anything here, I'd give you my last name. I told them not to disturb me from going out to play, but they must have done something secretly. Don't keep saying that Russia's economy is in recession. Don't be so ungrateful! Your country is so big and has rich real estate. As long as the oil and gas resources are not exhausted, you have plenty of room for development. Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region we are going to. There are 37% of the world's proven natural gas reserves there, and 12% of your Russian oil reserves. This is... It's a huge treasure trove! Unless there's a bigger discovery on the seabed... the natural gas in that one spot alone is enough to keep you Russians from starving for a hundred years! Not to mention that Siberia is so vast and you still have so many unproven reserves! You have a vast land and abundant resources! We have a vast land and scarce resources. Unlike us, we have to import all our resources. Look how easy it is for the West to torment us? Yesterday they tormented Myanmar, today they tormented Guinea. They seem to be completely unrelated, but in fact, they are all trying to control our resource imports and restrict our development!
The recent coup in Guinea shocked the whole world, and Xiao Peng also went to Guinea when he went to West Africa. There is a 650-kilometer railway line and a fairly large freight port there, which were actually invested and built by Daxia for the Simandou iron mine in Guinea.
Although Daxia currently ranks first in the world in annual steel production, producing more than the next 20th to 30th largest steel producers combined, its iron ore production is actually quite low and of very poor quality. Therefore, Daxia has always relied on imported iron ore, primarily from Brazil and Australia.
Due to its relationship with Australia, Daxia has to find a new way out, and that place is Guinea. Originally, Guinea's bauxite is an important import resource for Daxia, basically accounting for half of Daxia's total bauxite imports. If iron ore is added to Australia's iron ore, there will be no way out!
Could the Americans, also members of the Five Eyes Alliance, just sit back and watch Daxia develop so well? The instigator of the Guinean coup, Dumbouya, has a background in both the US and French military, and the soldiers participating in the coup are all Western-trained special forces commandos. What's going on here is as obvious as a louse on a bald head.
The situation in Myanmar is similar: if the Myanmar-China Railway is completed, it will be an important means for Great China to bypass the Strait of Malacca. The opposition forces there directly and openly raised the American flag! The mastermind behind this is obvious.
These Western countries don't dare to fight Daxia openly, so they resort to these dirty tricks, which have become their routine. Now Indonesia is trembling in fear: according to the Western way of doing things, it may be the next unlucky one!
The development of Daxia is really too difficult...
