After arriving in Khartoum, Man Johnson treated Jiang Cheng with the best hospitality, which made him feel flattered. It was almost the same treatment as when he first came to East Africa. It was completely different from when he first came. Even Mino and Pei Xiaowei didn't expect to receive such treatment.
When they got off the airport, they got into Man Johnson's exclusive luxury car. On the way, Man Johnson talked and laughed with Jiang Cheng. When they arrived in Khartoum, many people were on the streets, holding up Roaming Dragon signs. That was the logo of East Africa's Roaming Dragon Company.
Jiang Cheng, Mino, and Pei Xiaowei were like the heroes of East Africa. They were very welcomed by the people. Seeing this grand scene, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but say to Man Johnson, "Old Man, don't make it so grand. I can't bear it. I'm just a businessman, I can't afford to be treated like a leader of a country. "
Jiang Cheng smiled calmly. He didn't expect Man Johnson to shrug his shoulders, "You can't blame me for this. I've tried to control the scale. It's all done by the people. I don't know who dug up your story in Khartoum. Everyone knows that you've saved the whole of East Africa. "
Jiang Cheng's eyes widened when he heard Man Johnson's words. This had always been done in secret. How could anyone else know? But when Jiang Cheng looked at Man Johnson, Man Johnson smiled helplessly, "Old friend, I won't betray you, right?"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled helplessly. After all, this was Man Johnson's country. There was no reason to write a war hero, let alone a foreigner. But this was the truth, and Man Johnson didn't plan on changing it. So the people continued to cheer.
Jiang Cheng smiled helplessly. People were afraid of fame as pigs were afraid of being fat. If he really became famous, he wouldn't be able to stop it. After they entered Khartoum's palace, Man Johnson greeted them with the best benefits, including the best food in East Africa and a song and dance performance.
After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Cheng and Man Johnson went to the side. At this time, both of them had drunk a little too much. Man Johnson smiled and said, "Old friend, if you didn't come back, I would have been bored to death. I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to drink to my heart's content after reaching this position. "
As he spoke, he painfully gulped down the wine in his glass. Since he became the president of East Africa, he had to maintain a dignified appearance wherever he went. Usually, he had to avoid even the slightest indecent action, and he even had to eat and drink in a place where no one was around.
It was so bad that he couldn't even drink alcohol. But Man Johnson was a soldier, so he couldn't live without alcohol. This was going to cost him his life. Unfortunately, the new regime had just been established. No matter how he looked at it, he had to give the people a perfect performance.
Jiang Cheng chuckled and said, "Old Man, your words are not good. You make it sound like I'm your fair-weather friend. As long as I come, you will have wine to drink. " When Jiang Cheng said this, Man Johnson laughed and said, "I don't understand these things. I only know that when drinking with a bosom friend, a thousand cups is too little!"
Man Johnson suddenly said in Chinese, causing Jiang Cheng, Mino, and Pei Xiaowei to smile. They raised their wine glasses and drank it in one go. The next day, Jiang Cheng began to talk to Man Johnson about the future of the East Africa plan and handed over the business.
Half of Roaming Dragon's companies in East Africa had been given to Man Johnson. In other words, all the mines and shops under Roaming Dragon's banner belonged to Man Johnson. In this way, it was equivalent to completing more than half of the commercial construction in East Africa.
The other half belonged to Roaming Dragon. While the two discussed this matter, John Ray took notes at the side. The current John Ray was no longer a puppet of Roaming Dragon. He was the finance minister of Khartoum and was in charge of the economy of all of East Africa.
When he thought about how the clever John Ray had become a finance minister now, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but want to laugh. But now, when John Ray saw Jiang Cheng, he still greeted politely, "Director Jiang." He didn't care about the gazes of the people around him at all.
On the surface, Jiang Cheng felt that it was inappropriate, but inside, he was a little happy. The people he brought out from East Africa hadn't forgotten Jiang Cheng's nurturing. When he finished handing over the matters of Roaming Dragon, Man Johnson asked calmly, "Old friend, what do you want to do next? Since you've come to East Africa, you must have a plan, right? "
Man Johnson and Jiang Cheng were the same kind of people. They wouldn't be satisfied with the current situation. As long as there was room to pursue, they would do their best. Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Old Man, I have a plan. Are you interested? We can work on this big plan together. "
At this time, Man Johnson's eyes revealed a curious smile. Not only was he interested, but he was very interested. Last time, he was in his current position because he was interested in Jiang Cheng's plan. This time, Jiang Cheng's plan was probably even bigger than last time.
When Jiang Cheng told him about the entire Africa plan, Man Johnson was shocked. He didn't think that business could cover all of Africa. Thinking of this, Man Johnson looked at Jiang Cheng strangely. He turned to ask John Ray, "John, will this plan work?"
John Ray pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "It will work. This is the most basic way of running business in the world. But this plan is just for now. There are still many details that need to be optimized. " No wonder he was a top business genius. When John Ley said that it would work, Man Johnson immediately made the decision.
"Good. Then let's do it, old friend. Count me in on this plan. Will I be the first independent president of Africa in the future? "Man Johnson laughed and seemed very happy." That's right. He wasn't a business expert, but he was a master of grand strategy.
As long as John Ray said that the plan was feasible, he would support it without hesitation. Jiang Cheng was also happy. Getting Man Johnson's support was undoubtedly the biggest guarantee for the whole Africa plan. In Jiang Cheng's plan, the most unsafe thing was war.
If he wanted to quell the war in Africa, he would need a lot of military support. Especially the army in East Africa. Currently, under Man Johnson's leadership, there were 400,000 soldiers. This army might not be considered much to other large countries, but it was already very impressive in East Africa.
Even Egypt, which was next to East Africa, only had 800,000 soldiers. But Egypt's territory was more than twice the size of East Africa. At this time, Jiang Cheng said calmly, "Old Man, since you said that you will support me, then give me real support. If that's the case, then you have to give me real support. You can't just say empty words. "
After hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Man Johnson immediately laughed heartily and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. What resources do you want? As long as I can give it to you, I won't be stingy. " After Man Johnson said that, Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I don't need any resources, I just need your army."
"Army?" Man Johnson's eyes suddenly sobered up when he heard this. He didn't understand why Jiang Cheng needed an army. It was just a business, why would he need an army? Moreover, even if East Africa's army was powerful, it could only be within its own country.
The United Nations Convention stated that other countries couldn't interfere in other countries' internal affairs. In other words, if Man Johnson wanted to establish a new regime in East Africa, he needed the support of the United Nations. He couldn't use his own army to commit crimes in other countries. But now, Jiang Cheng was brazenly borrowing troops from Man Johnson. Wasn't this making things difficult for Man Johnson?
"Old friend, I can't promise you this. There are two problems with this matter. First, I recently applied for the United Nations' certification. I can't just start a war. Secondly, you can't just borrow my soldiers whenever you want. It also depends on their mood. "
After Man Johnson finished, Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Old Man, you can rest assured about the first problem. I'm borrowing troops, not fighting. I'm just putting on a show. To put it bluntly, it's posturing. But I don't understand the second problem. Your troops don't listen to you, it depends on their mood? "
Jiang Cheng said this and shook his head, he was very puzzled. Man Johnson chuckled, "You'll understand soon enough. John Ley, call Zuo Dan in. " Man Johnson ordered John Ley, and John Ley immediately went out. Not long after, a tall, dark, and thin man came in.
He had a square face and a heroic look. He seemed to be filled with a murderous aura. "President Man, I'm General Zuo Dan. What can I do for you?" Zuo Dan's voice was very low, like the sound of someone knocking on a cement block.
At this time, Man Johnson pointed at Jiang Cheng and said, "General Zuo Dan. Tell me about the current situation of our troops. How many people are free? " After Man Johnson said this, Zuo Dan immediately said loudly, "There are 400,000 troops in the army. 200,000 are in service and 200,000 are in reserve. The rest of the peacekeeping troops are 430,000. "
Man Johnson heard this and said, "Can you lend 100,000 troops to this old friend of mine? He's a professional military expert. " After Man Johnson said this, Zuo Dan immediately frowned and looked at Jiang Cheng, his eyes full of disdain.
"President Man Johnson, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Zuo Dan and Man Johnson were brothers on the battlefield. Seeing that there were fewer people, he didn't need to hide too much. Man Johnson smiled and said, "Of course it's the truth. Just tell Mister Jiang directly, can you lend troops? "
Zuo Dan took a deep breath and said, "Mister Jiang, I can lend troops. It's just that our soldiers all started as guerrillas until now. They don't listen to anyone except me and President Johnson. If you want to leave with your troops, you need to give them a reason to trust you and follow you. "
