During the more than half month of Zhao Dongsheng's stay in the capital, he had accumulated a lot of official duties, so he went back to Huangzhou and took action without stopping. At the same time, he further arranged the plan for next year to prepare for the spring youth class of the Central Party School.

In mid-January, when Zhao Dongsheng was having a meeting in the province, he suddenly received a call from Beijing, asking him to go to Beijing, and the No. 1 leader wanted to see him, but he didn't say anything on the phone.

After saying hello to the provincial leaders, Zhao Dongsheng boarded the flight to Beijing. After meeting Chief No. 1, he knew what was going on. The new president of the African Sorant Republic, Banas, will hold a presidential inauguration ceremony in early February. Chief No. 1 is preparing to send a special envoy to congratulate him, and Zhao Dongsheng will be a member of the delegation led by the special envoy.

Located in southeast Africa, the Sorant Republic is one of the vast countries in Africa. It has abundant water, mineral and oil resources and occupies an important position on the African continent.

In the 1970s, the president of the Sorant Republic and the chief of the Army staff broke out in fierce conflicts due to their respective rights and interests. The president died in the conflict, which led to a civil war in the Sorant Republic for more than 20 years. The state regime quickly collapsed, forming a situation of warlord melee.

In 1999, under the mediation of the international community, various factions in the Republic of Sorant reached a ceasefire agreement, formed a coalition government, and held presidential elections across the country. The People's* Alliance Front, led by Banas, won the general election, and Banas became the new president of the Republic of Sorant.

The reason why the No. 1 leader chose Zhao Dongsheng as the special envoy to attend the presidential inauguration ceremony of Barnas was because Zhao Dongsheng met Barnas in Paris in 1990. At that time, Barnas was the leader of a warlord unit in the city of Sor, an important coastal town in the southern coastal town of the Sorant Republic. He followed the warlord to Paris to seek economic support from the French government.

In Paris, Barnas and the warlord were coldly treated by politicians because the French government was more optimistic about a warlord in the north of the Sorant Republic, and that warlord had a greater power than them.

After Zhao Dongsheng met Banas, he felt that he was a person with a strong sense of national mission and was determined to revitalize the Sorant Republic. Zhao Dongsheng also hoped to effectively develop the mineral and oil resources of the Sorant Republic in the future, so he decided to fund Banas and then gave Banas 20 million US dollars in the name of investing in the Saul factory.

In the following time, Zhao Dongsheng increased his investment in Barnas, allocated tens of millions of dollars to him from the funds of Warwick Group every year, and opened factories and enterprises in Saul.

Barnas reciprocated his favor, protected the investment of Warwick Group in Sol City, and gave Zhao Dongsheng the future mining rights of several mines and oil fields in the Sorant Republic, and the two sides established a good cooperative relationship.

With the funds obtained from Zhao Dongsheng, Banas quickly strengthened his strength. Two years later, he took advantage of the opportunity of the warlord's assassination and death of his opponent, and reorganized the army according to Zhao Dongsheng's suggestion, strengthened its control over the army, and at the same time established the People's* Alliance.

Zhao Dongsheng sent people to Thor to assist Bunas in developing the economy and strengthened the trade between Warwick Group and Thor, which made the economy and people's livelihood of Thor in a long way, and Bunas obtained a large amount of taxes from it.

In Zhao Dongsheng's view, Thor City is the base camp of Banas. If Banas wants to gain an advantage in domestic wars, he must manage Thor City well and adopt a strategy of far-reaching and near attack to pull the enemy who is eyeing him, so that other warlords will fight to the death first and take a defensive attitude to rest and recuperate.

Banas adopted Zhao Dongsheng's suggestion and devoted himself to building the territory he had, which made him gradually stronger in the civil war in the Sorant Republic, attracted a large number of people to surrender, and the military's strength expanded rapidly.

In the first half of 1997, while the warlords of the Sorant Republic were exhausted from fighting each other, the replenishing force of Banas suddenly attacked and swept the warlords in the southern city of Sorant with thunder, successfully captured the capital of Sorant, Lilyde, and compressed the major warlords of Sorant into the northern region.

Banas originally wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but in the end, he listened to Zhao Dongsheng's advice, stopped the attack, signed a peace agreement with two warlords in the north, and focused on governing the southern region that had been obtained.

However, the northern region suddenly lost the powerful enemy of Banas. The major warlords who were originally planning to form an alliance to fight against Banas once again fought again because of grabbing territory, and they were having a lot of fun, causing more and more residents of the northern region to run to the south.

In the end, the international community successfully mediated various factions in the Sorant Republic in 1999, causing various factions to form a coalition government and held elections across the country. Banas, who has 60% of the country's population, was undoubtedly elected as president, with a term of six years, becoming the master of the Sorant Republic.

The results of the presidential election of the Republic of Sorant were announced at the end of December 1999. Zhao Dongsheng called to congratulate Barnas and accepted Barnas' invitation to attend Barnas' presidential inauguration. After all, Warwick Group has a lot of investment in the southern part of the Republic of Sorant. Although the situation in Sorant is still unstable, he still has to give Barnas this face.

Now, the No. 1 Chief Cho Dongsheng as a member of the delegation to attend the presidential inauguration ceremony of Banas, which invisibly brought the relationship between the two sides closer and would be of great benefit to participating in the post-war re-project of the Sorant Republic. This is an excellent opportunity to expand the country's influence in the Sorant Republic and the African continent.

The special envoy to attend the presidential inauguration ceremony was Zhang Hai, deputy director of the General Office of the State Council, who was at the level of the chief executive, which shows how much importance the Chief No. 1 attaches to this trip to Sorant.

Zhao Dongsheng had never dealt with Zhang Yang before, so after receiving the mission from Chief No. 1, he specially invited Zhang Yang to have a meal, and the two of them had officially met.

The delegation that followed Zhao Dongsheng and Zhang Yang to the Sorant Republic this time was composed of personnel from multiple ministries and commissions, with the goal of the Sorant Republic's post-war reconstruction project, which is not only for economic benefits, but more importantly, the future strategic layout.

The inauguration of Banas was scheduled for February 5. On the morning of February 3, Zhao Dongsheng and his group boarded a flight from Beijing International Airport to Lilyde, the capital of the Republic of Sorant, and officially started his special envoy journey, which was also his first foreign affairs journey.

When the passenger plane arrived in Lilyde, it was almost noon, and Barnas came to the airport to pick it up. According to the principle of reciprocity reception, usually only foreign heads of state can enjoy this treatment.

However, Banas came to the airport in a private capacity, and the official pick-up was Banru, the president of the Republic of Sorant, and his cousin of Banas, and also an important supporter of Banas.

"Zhao, welcome to attend my inauguration ceremony." Zhao Dongsheng got off the plane, and the tall and powerful Banas gave Zhao Dongsheng a warm hug. To him, Zhao Dongsheng was the most trustworthy friend. This kind of friendship is rare and cannot be replaced by any interests.

"Mr. President, you are one step closer to your dream." Zhao Dongsheng said to Banas with a smile when he heard this. Banas's first wish was to end the war in the Sorant Republic. Now that all parties have reached a ceasefire agreement, he has fulfilled this wish.

The reason why it is said to be "also" is because although the various factions in the Republic of Sorant reached a ceasefire agreement, they formed a separatist situation. All forces have control over their respective territories. Although Barnas is the president, its influence is only in the southern region, and the northern region is still controlled by those forces.

In other words, the current peace in the Sorant Republic is only temporary, but it is just a result of compromise between the forces of all parties. The forces in the north have won the time to breathe, while Banas has been recognized by the international community, and both sides have their own needs.

Banas held a luncheon in a hotel to welcome Zhao Dongsheng, and senior officials from the People's* Alliance attended the event, and the leadership of the Warwick Group's Sorant Office was also present. The atmosphere at the table was very warm while the wine was drinking.

Feng Feng, director of the Warwick Group's office in the Republic of Sorant, was the first contract worker of Huangzhou Electrical Appliance Factory. He has been in the Republic of Sorant for 10 years. He has been in the city of Sorant for 7 years. When Barnas captured Lilyde, he moved his office to Lilyde, and the office in the city of Sorant became a branch office.

Through Feng Feng, Zhao Dongsheng not only provided funds to Barnas, but also provided Barnas with great economic, military and political help, helping Barnas establish a complete set of social systems suitable for the situation of the Republic of Sorant. The southern region of Sorant is now operating according to that social system and has achieved very good results.

After lunch, Zhao Dongsheng went to the Warwick Group office in Sorant. He and Zhang Hai and others will live in the office. The office has strict security measures. Many guards carrying AK47 patrol the surroundings. Not only are there armored vehicles and tanks parked in the yard, but there is also a helicopter, and you can take it to leave at critical moments.

Han Susu followed Zhao Dongsheng to the Sorant Republic. Unlike her previous mission, she shouldered the important task of protecting Zhao Dongsheng's safety this time. Not all Sorants hoped that Barnas would become president. It is very likely that someone would create an attack in Lilyde to secretly destroy it.

People like Zhao Dongsheng, who are both an important member of the delegation of world powers and also a close partner of Banas, are undoubtedly important targets of the other party's attack.

This time, the people responsible for the safety of Zhao Dongsheng, Zhang Hai and others were not only the elites of the Warwick Group Security Department, but also the elites of the Military Commission's Secret Service Bureau. They formed the last line of defense to protect Zhao Dongsheng, Zhang Hai and others.

Originally, Zhao Dongsheng would leave after attending the inauguration ceremony of Barnas, but because he wanted to talk to Barnas about the post-war reconstruction of Sorant, he had to stay here for a while, which meant that the risks had increased a lot invisibly.

"It seems that we will have a beautiful memory here." Zhao Dongsheng stood at the bedroom window, looked at the armored vehicles and helicopters parked in the yard, and said to Han Susu with a smile.
