Chapter 1236 - Chapter 1236 Chapter 1191 Arriving at Samba

Chapter 1236: Chapter 1191: Arriving at Samba Chapter 1236: Chapter 1191: Arriving at Samba The South Suburban Airport at night appears mysterious and solemn. As Jingcheng’s military airport, as well as the main military airport for the entire surrounding region, the South Suburban Airport has always been shrouded in secrecy.

Past nine o’clock at night, the South Suburban Airport was buzzing with activity. The lights were dazzling. The tower, the terminal center, and the surrounding high platforms were all lit up with blinding lights. Bright white beams shone on the tarmac, lighting it up like daylight.

As a military airport, it is entirely different from ordinary civilian airports. The terminal buildings here are very simple. The slope-shaped shelters are arranged in a row around the perimeter, covered with green turf. Beneath them are the military hangars. The country’s most advanced fighter jets and bombers were neatly stationed inside. At a single command, they could take off at any moment to head to various battlefields. This place is one of the swords that protect the nation.

At this moment, on the tarmac, a Boeing 747-400 operated by Huaxia Nation Airlines was parked right in the center. The stair truck had already docked with the cabin door.

As the motorcade halted, led by President Qiao, all the leaders, security personnel, accompanying journalists, and staff members participating in the state visit had already disembarked. At the rear cabin door, accompanying staff and security personnel began boarding the plane.

Near the nose of the plane, President Qiao and President Mu, who had come to see him off, were shaking hands and saying goodbye one by one. Nie Zhenbang and others, including leaders accompanying on the visit, boarded the plane and took their seats in the ministerial area.

Domestically, there is no such thing as Air Force One. When Huaxia’s leaders travel abroad, the special plane missions are undertaken by the National Airline. The Central Office issues the flight missions one month in advance. Then, the National Airline and the Civil Aviation Administration will conduct trial flights on the route in advance, and dispatch the ground support group to inspect and prepare for the local landing conditions and other aspects on-site.

Then, two weeks before the visit, the designated special plane will temporarily cease commercial flights to undergo safety checks and modifications. Seats are removed and replaced with sofas and beds. The front of the cabin is reserved for the leader’s area, consisting of a living room, office, and bedroom. This is followed by special seating areas for ministers, official desks for agency and bureau levels, and, at the very back, seats for the accompanying journalists, staff members, and security personnel.

The entire trip follows extremely strict procedures and regulations. Of course, there are a few options for the special plane to take off; it isn’t always from the South Suburban area. Sometimes, the more open and transparent Jingcheng City International Airport is chosen.

About half an hour later, the plane slowly taxied towards the runway. At the same time. Over at South Suburban Airport, six J-20 fifth-generation stealth fighter jets from the Air Force also took off, undertaking a period of escort duty.

Speaking of the J-20, one can’t help but mention Nie Zhenbang. In his lifetime, Nie Zhenbang brought back many technologies and talents from our elder brother’s place, especially in recruiting from the Sukhoi Design Bureau, where Nie Zhenbang spared no effort. In this life, the national military strength was much stronger than before.

The J-20 is proof of this. In the previous life, the J-20 had just successfully completed its test flight around this time. It wouldn’t be formally deployed until five or six years later. Yet now, the J-20 was designed and manufactured eight years ago and has already begun to be deployed in the military.

With just this one example, the nation’s air force technology and equipment have drawn close to the equivalent global standard.

The lengthy flight was extremely dull. The plane flew over the ocean. At the front, Director Fang Li from the Central Office walked over from the leader’s area, directly to Nie Zhenbang, patting his shoulder and speaking softly, “Zhenbang, come here for a moment.”

Nie Zhenbang didn’t ask why, but stood up and followed, passing through a corridor on the side. Toward the front, near the cabin door, was the living room area. Behind the living room was President Qiao’s office area, followed by the bedroom and bathroom.

At this moment, in the sofa area, President Qiao and his wife were sitting there. Seeing Nie Zhenbang approaching, the First Lady nodded with a smile, stood up, and said, “Old Qiao, have your talk.”

President Qiao also smiled and motioned, “Zhenbang is here; take a seat.”

“The leader looks ruddy and as vigorous as ever,” Nie Zhenbang sat down and started with a smile.

At that moment, President Qiao waved his hand with a smile and said, “Zhenbang, you’ve learned to use these pleasantries too. It really proves the saying: the higher the position, the smaller the courage.”

Following President Qiao’s remark, Nie Zhenbang also laughed and said, “Leader, that’s human nature; it’s cold at the top. With every step, one must tread carefully. As the saying goes, after traveling a hundred miles, one is halfway to ninety. When the heart harbors gains and losses, and miscellaneous thoughts, it naturally cannot be resolute.”

“Well said. It’s not a special case; it’s actually a common phenomenon. The higher up the ladder, the more fearful of mishaps one becomes, and ultimately, it’s all about the hat on one’s head causing trouble,” President Qiao agreed, then became serious and continued, “Zhenbang, there was a deeper consideration behind bringing you on this trip. On one hand, it’s to send out a signal, and on the other, it’s your chance to promote Longxi and develop it. During this visit, you must increase the exchange between Longxi Province and the outside world. Over in Brazil, Longxi Province could consider initiating soccer collaboration projects. As for Cuba and Zimbabwe, these two countries are of interest. Cuba is a new investment market with broad prospects and great potential, whereas Zimbabwe is rich in oil resources. As an OPEC member, they pursue an energy diplomacy policy. In this respect, there is a broad prospect for cooperation with Longxi.”

After a flight of eight or nine hours, the plane finally arrived in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, in the local afternoon.

At Brasilia International Airport, President Delsavor personally came to the airport to welcome the guests. After a series of diplomatic procedures, President Qiao and his delegation proceeded to the state guesthouse.

Meanwhile, Nie Zhenbang and several ministry officials accompanying him were taking separate actions. During the visit, most of the staff were on their own assignments.

A visit isn’t simply about leaders exchanging a few words and holding talks to seal a deal. Behind the scenes, there was a great deal of effort from numerous staff members. Generally, visits involve considerable cooperative efforts. Trade, agriculture, the economy, and other areas of cooperation are actually negotiated and discussed in detail by accompanying personnel. Ultimately, agreements are signed under the witness of both heads of state.

Upon deplaning, Fang Li handed over to Nie Zhenbang the itinerary arranged for him. This samba journey was also an important mission for Nie Zhenbang.

That evening, he would accompany President Qiao to the welcome dinner hosted by President Delsavor. The next day, led by the Brazilian Minister of Sports, Lucas, Nie Zhenbang was to visit the Sao Paulo Club in the State of Sao Paulo and hold discussions with the governor of Sao Paulo State. Both sides planned to sign an agreement in Sao Paulo City to become sister states and provinces, and then reach a series of cooperative agreements in agriculture and football among other areas.

After the dinner ended, early the next morning, Nie Zhenbang and his party took a flight to Sao Paulo. Aboard the plane, Lucas was very enthusiastic, introducing Nie Zhenbang to the situation in Sao Paulo State.

The capital of Sao Paulo State, Sao Paulo City, had a population including the suburbs reaching 20.39 million, making it the largest city in Brazil and even in the Southern Hemisphere.

Sao Paulo was one of the wealthiest regions in Brazil. Agriculture and industry were highly developed there. In terms of agriculture, the intensive and mechanized production model was a focal point of cooperation and exchange with Longxi Province. Moreover, Sao Paulo Football Club was also a hallmark of the city, producing world-class soccer stars like Denilson, Muller, and Kaka.

The arrival of Nie Zhenbang and his delegation was warmly welcomed by Sao Paulo State Governor Robert Sunny and Sao Paulo City Mayor Paul Sergio.

A grand welcome ceremony was held at the state capitol. After visiting the bustling downtown area of Sao Paulo City and the financial center, the delegation arrived at Sao Paulo Club to watch a soccer match.

The next day, they visited a farm in the outskirts of Sao Paulo. For Nie Zhenbang, agriculture was the aspect of greatest concern. Longxi Province had long been a key agricultural region within the country, one could say, a cradle of farming culture.

However, thousands of years had passed, and the depletion of the land had become a fact. Sticking to traditional agricultural practices was a form of backwardness.

Stepping onto the farm, Nie Zhenbang said to Chen Zhewen beside him, “Comrade Zhewen, it looks like we still have a long way to go.”

Inside the large farm, crop and livestock areas were neatly divided. All work had been mechanized. The tidy lawns and the dairy and poultry farms were well-planned and distinct. Water irrigation was optimized, fully reflecting the principle of conservation.

All these were shocking to Nie Zhenbang, as they were elements largely lacking in many parts of his home country. The current state of Longxi Province was the result of reckless exploitation and wastefulness.

If Longxi Province had always been managed this way, it would never have become the ancient capital it is today.

Nie Zhenbang’s visit here was highly meticulous. He inquired about every detail of production with great care, even reaching a professional level. This attitude earned him the admiration and respect of both Robert Sunny and Paul. Everywhere, leaders who truly dedicate themselves to their work are respected.

Subsequently, at the Hilton Hotel in Sao Paulo City, a series of negotiations and consultations took place. Firstly, Longxi Province would become sister states with Sao Paulo. Following that, both sides would strengthen cooperation in agriculture and sports. Industrial investment would also be intensified.

The former represents Sao Paulo’s support for Longxi Province, while the latter is the industrial support provided by Longxi to Sao Paulo.

Afterward, that same night, Nie Zhenbang flew back to Brasilia and was scheduled to travel to Cuba the next morning. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (NovelFire.net) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
