Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

At the same time, Niger’s presidential election has finally come to an end! Mahaman Osman became the country's first democratically elected president. Although his support rate is less than 30%, it is already very rare for economically backward African countries. The votes are so scattered that outsiders can't even imagine.

The military has not been idle these days. Many Soviet soldiers came to Niger from Libya; they also came with weapons and equipment. France currently has 1,000 troops stationed in Niger, which is not a lot; as long as it cooperates properly, it can be controlled as soon as possible.

As a landlocked country, if France wants to attack Niger, no matter which direction it is from, it needs to cross other countries' airspace, territorial waters, and territory; no matter how great its influence is, coordination will take time.

If something goes wrong in Paris at this time, the preparation time will become even longer. In short, we must make the French look good this time. The days when one family is the only one in Africa will be gone forever!

In order to confuse the French, the French ambassador was still placed in the most important position during the inauguration ceremony of the new president. Even compared with the United States and the Soviet Union, it was much worse.

The French ambassador dismissed his doubts about the new president, believing that the intelligence department was too nervous; Niger could only rely on France if it wanted to develop.

The French ambassador said to the lieutenant colonel stationed next to him: "It seems that the new president is a smart man and knows who to rely on; without the support of France, this country will have nothing."

The French lieutenant colonel smiled and said: "He is indeed a smart man. Recently, the Ottoman family often sends condolences to the garrison. The purpose is self-evident; probably because they are worried about not being recognized by Paris!"

Naturally, the whole show must be done to make the French people relax their vigilance; of course, we don’t want to overly stimulate the French people. It is best not to bleed, otherwise it will be a life-and-death situation.

It has been colonized in Zinnier for more than a hundred years, and France has absolute confidence in this place. As long as you give them a little benefit, it won't cause any trouble. It can only be said that the combination of the Black Cloud Intelligence Department and the Soviet Union Kberg made the French intelligence system blind!

On the second day after the new president took office, the French ambassador once again came to the presidential palace.

Seeing the French ambassador approaching, the new presidential assistant hurriedly stepped forward and said at the same time: "Your Excellency, Ambassador; Mr. President is meeting with important guests. I hope you can wait patiently."

As the ambassador of the suzerain country, he is equivalent to the King of Niger; coming to meet the president is the president's face; therefore, there is never any need for notification, no matter whether there is time or not; he must come out to greet the French ambassador as soon as possible. "

It has become a common practice, at least the French ambassador should know it! This is the treatment that the sovereign country should enjoy, why should he wait?

The French ambassador was very upset that his assistant dared to talk to him like this. He just said yesterday that the new president of Niger supports the director, but now it seems that he still needs to give him a hard fight. So he said directly: "Do you know who you are talking to!"

"No matter who is inside, tell him to leave immediately; at the same time, ask Mahaman Osman to come and greet me personally!"

He didn't even call the president, but called him by his first name; as a diplomat, this is really not the right thing to do, but the French ambassador has never taken Niger seriously; naturally he would not be polite!

Seeing that the presidential assistant did not respond, he opened the door and walked straight in.

Arriving at the President's Office, the French Ambassador said impatiently: "President Osman, I hope you understand how important France has been in Niger's development to this day. Do you think too highly of yourself by asking the French Ambassador to wait for you?"

"You two, please leave quickly. I have something important to discuss with President Osman!"

As a diplomat, I don’t have a good temper, but it’s certainly not that bad! The main reason why this happened today was because the assistant dared to stop him; and it was still the second day after the new president took office, so he had to establish his authority.

When the two of them were told to go out, the three people who had just been chatting happily stopped talking; the two of them looked back at the French Ambassador at the same time.

Turning back this time made the French ambassador even more angry; at the same time, he also had a bad premonition in his heart!

Mahaman Osman met with the ambassadors of the Soviet Union and the United States at the same time. Under normal circumstances, it would never happen and is almost unheard of in diplomatic history. After all, the Soviet Union and the United States fought fiercely overtly and covertly, and it was impossible for them to live in peace. Niger is only a small African country, and it is still a landlocked country. If you want to curry favor with the United States and the Soviet Union, you have to be willing.

The new president has just taken office and it is difficult to refuse an invitation; he also expressed his hope to export uranium ore and other minerals to the United States. The uranium mines in Niger have been controlled by the French before, but now they say they can be exported to the United States; they even proposed using the minerals in exchange for weapons, equipment and supplies, and they will naturally not refuse.

After all, uranium ore is a treasure and no one can have too much!

Of course, Niger also expressed its views on the Soviet Union; to put it bluntly, it was deliberately trying to please the two countries, and the purpose should not be too obvious!

The Soviet ambassador naturally knew what was going on and expressed his willingness to support Niger in terms of mining technology and equipment. Naturally, the United States did not dare to show weakness. It had no interests before; it was not easy to fall out with France.

But once Niger fell to the Soviet Union, it would be even more unacceptable. Although it is clear that calling the Soviet ambassador here is to seek balance, the United States has no other choice now.

Today's play is deliberately performed for the French people; at the same time, it also digs a hole for the French ambassador.

Let two people go out as ambassadors of the two most powerful countries in the world; when have you ever been so angry?

Facing the fierce looks from the ambassadors of the two countries, the French ambassador knew that he was in trouble; he had to find a way to remedy the situation.

Naturally, there is resentment in my heart. France is the suzerainty of Niger; what does it mean to come to the United States and the Soviet Union now? Could it be that he wanted to climb a high branch and find a bigger tree to lean on? This must be prevented from happening. There is no uranium supply from Niger; for France, this is a fatal blow!

The French ambassador immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "I didn't know it was two people. I'm really sorry."

The situation is weaker than others, and it is my fault just now; I have to make amends, apologize and have a lot of trouble, a man can bend and stretch; as long as he protects his interests, it is not a big deal to lose face!

The ambassador of a country represents the image of the country; when had the ambassadors of the United States and the Soviet Union ever been so angry!

The U.S. ambassador sneered: "Your Excellency is so majestic, but please note; this is not Paris. The person sitting in front of you is the Ambassador Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to Niger!"

The French have always been arrogant, and since they withdrew from NATO, they have become somewhat estranged from the United States. The American ambassador directly rebuffed them, which is quite normal.

Naturally, the Soviet ambassador did not dare to show weakness and said directly: "France has always advocated equality for everyone, but I didn't expect the double standards to be so serious; it seems that the so-called equality is only for its own people!"

"But I can tell you responsibly that the Soviets will not be above anyone; but they will never be stepped on by others and manipulated at will! Watch your words, otherwise you will easily suffer big losses!"

It is estimated that few countries in the world can offend the US stock market and the Soviet Union at the same time; the French ambassador almost made history!

But now I can only knock out my teeth and swallow it in my stomach. No matter what the two of them say, just try to apologize!

The French ambassador said with a serious expression: "I apologize to you two again for my behavior just now! I will never be so reckless in the future. Please forgive me!"

There is no mention of Niger’s President Mahaman Ousmane, but the meaning is obvious. Even though you are the president of a country, you can ask the French ambassador to apologize; you are not qualified!

Weak countries have no diplomacy, which is vividly demonstrated.

Mahaman-Osman is in an extremely unhappy mood. If he doesn't do something today, who will care about Niger's feelings after word spreads! As a president, even if the country is small, the necessary respect must not be lacking!

None of the three of them noticed that before Mahaman Osman stood up, he pressed the raised part at the corner of the desk. Then he said: "Looking through the documents this morning, I found that the agreement signed between Niger and France is extremely unreasonable, and the French side still used unfair means to obtain it."

"Therefore, I am informing you that all previous agreements signed between Niger and France are invalid. Starting today, all minerals in Niger will be nationalized. In the future, the franc will be abolished and the national currency will be adopted."

"At the same time, in order to safeguard the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity, the French garrison must withdraw unconditionally! If there is any conspiracy against Niger during this period, our army has the right to launch an attack!"
