Jiao Guoping and Counselor Liu looked at each other and moved towards Su Cheng's circle.

In the hall, people kept saying hello to them. Most of the diplomats from various countries nodded, and there were also Azerbaijanis who took the initiative to give up their positions and asked with a smile: "You are from Dahua, are you from China? Welcome to our department for inspection."

Whenever the other party said this, Counselor Liu had to stop and explain: "We belong to the Chinese Embassy."

Whenever Counselor Liu explains the relationship between the embassy and Dahua clearly, the enthusiastic Azerbaijanis will become cold and end the conversation with simple tones.

Whenever there are Azerbaijanis who can't figure out the relationship between the two sides, Jiao Guoping and Counselor Liu will receive a business card.

"What's the situation?" Jiao Guoping was full of confusion. If Su Cheng had a reputation that was so high that everyone in the world knew, he wouldn't believe it. Reputation is similar to a fruit tree. You not only have to choose the right variety, but also have to be able to help it grow. During this period, you will also have to water and catch insects and top dressing.

Ellicbey suffered a great crime and cultivated it for 30 years before he gained reputation across Azerbaijan. Sucheng spent two months in Azerbaijan, and it would be good to be able to plant a sapling. The reputation is nonsense.

But how can I explain everything that is happening in front of me?

Secretary Liu is also busy meeting people every day and guessed: "Is it because he has a business relationship with Dahua Industrial?"

"So many?" Jiao Guoping said in disbelief: "Dahua Industrial is an energy enterprise. If they develop rapidly, they cannot have the current scale. Besides, there are more Azerbaijani politicians."

"Maybe it's because of money." Behind the two were the embassy secretary who came together, he whispered: "I heard the sound of a Xu. It seems that Sucheng gave a lot of money to these Azerbaijani officials."

"That's for Aliyev." Jiao Guoping and Counselor Liu knew about this.

The secretary lowered his voice and said, "What is given to Aliyev is for Aliyev. I heard from an acquaintance in Azerbaijan that Sucheng used to give Aliyev 50 million, and then Aliyev gave Husseinov 20 to 30 million US dollars. Now, when Husseinov arrived in Baku, Sucheng gave Husseinov 50 million US dollars, and the extra 20 to 30 million US dollars from Aliyev was allocated by Sucheng. Many Azerbaijani officials have received money from Dahua." 0

"That's why I'm so polite?" Jiao Guoping believed it.

The secretary whispered: "Su Cheng just pays money, but he doesn't care how the other party uses it. So many people look at Dahua and want to do things for them. When we go out, if we use Dahua's banner, it will be much more convenient to do things."

"You are under the banner of Dahua?" Liu's eyes froze when he heard this.

The secretary was startled and said quickly: "I used it once in the last traffic accident. I asked the traffic police to let us go, but I have never done it again."

"When you go out to do business, you must use the name of the embassy." Counselor Liu reminded him and sighed. Minister Zheng kicked the iron plate this time, not only Minister Zheng, but also the embassy in Azerbaijan. Judging from the current situation, it is difficult for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to escape. Not to mention Minister Zheng, he doesn't know what kind of torture he is enduring at this moment.

If this were a foreign minister, I would have to resign now, right? Counselor Liu thought of going to European and American countries before to inspect. He thought to himself: After all, the domestic media did not know the story of the ministries and commissions, so Minister Zheng could persist. However, in the domestic official environment, it would be too difficult for Minister Zheng to have any prestige. Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to keep the hot position under his butt, which is more important than anything else.

Secretary Liu looked at Su Cheng from afar and thought to himself: If he stopped making trouble, Minister Zheng might have a chance.

Jiao Guoping coughed twice and lowered his head to ask the secretary about the money paid by Dahua Industrial. He was not a person who had never seen money, but because of his experience, he felt incredible about the expenses of tens of millions and tens of millions. Although diplomacy seems to be a transaction between countries, in fact, there is not much financial transaction, and the funds belonging to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are even less, let alone US$50 million. The Azerbaijan Embassy has probably not spent US$5 million since its establishment.

On the other hand, it is too tempting to give money to casually spend. This is like blatantly allowing officials to put the money in their pockets.

But when I think about it, in a CIS country like Azerbaijan, which has a clear and clear administration. When the regime is unstable, no one cares about corruption.

The secretary was heard and couldn't explain it clearly. Counselor Liu listened to a few words and interrupted them, "Okay, don't let others hear it."

While the few people were talking, they had already arrived at the circle of Sucheng.

At this moment, Su Cheng was whispering something with several Azerbaijani soldiers, surrounded by dozens of dignitaries and nobles holding wine glasses. Although he could not hear anything, he still pretended to listen and waited obediently for Su Cheng to chat with the soldiers.

After a while, a soldier burst into laughter.

The crowd was like a loudspeaker, and immediately burst into laughter, as if they heard something interesting.

"This group of flattery people." Jiao Guoping was stunned. He had seen many shameless Chinese people, and so shameless foreigners - at least he had never seen such a large group.

The United States is really the evil leader, creating dollars to harm people. The once pure socialist companion, even just a box of dollars, became a lackey of capitalism...

Jiao Guoping was thinking randomly until Counselor Liu couldn't help but go forward to recognize his relatives.

I saw Counselor Liu’s smiles on his face, like a nutria hanging on the sun, squeezed to Su Cheng and said with a smile: “Dr. Su, we’re meeting again here.”

He had no choice. If Su Cheng didn't let go, they would not be able to start the situation in Azerbaijan. Seeing that the new ambassadors in China were coming, Counsel Liu simply took a gamble.

Even if Su Cheng is lukewarm, he can still be familiar with him. It is better to meet Azerbaijan's bureaucrats in the future than now.

However, Counselor Liu really overestimated his charm.

He had no relationship with Sucheng, and it was another sensitive time point. At the time when Azerbaijan was about to decide who was the president, Sucheng would definitely not want to cause trouble.

Therefore, Su Cheng just glanced at Counselor Liu and turned his head as if he didn't know him.

Secretary Liu was very unwilling to accept it and said in English: "Dr. Su, there is some new news about what happened last time..."

He secretly shouted in his heart: Just talk a few words...

However, Su Cheng just turned his face and said, "I have no interest in you. I won't talk to you. If possible, leave Azerbaijan as soon as possible."

Secretary Liu's smile froze in an instant. This answer was definitely the one he wanted the least.

The Azerbaijanis next to them took two steps to give away space to Counselor Liu.

Jiao Guoping stood a little later, laughing and crying. He really didn't expect that Counselor Liu would stick it up regardless of his face, and he didn't expect that Su Cheng would reject him without giving him any face.

Looking at the expressions of others, Counselor Liu's face turned gray and couldn't help but say in Chinese: "Su Cheng, both Chinese. For your own selfish interests, you disregard the national interests. Don't you want to return to China?"

Azerbaijanis do not understand Chinese, and Su Cheng asked without any concealment: "Don't you want to return to China?"

When Counselor Liu looked at the Azerbaijani soldiers on both sides, he could no longer speak.

Jiao Guoping took the opportunity to pull Counselor Liu back and advised: "If you stay in the green mountains, you will not worry about the lack of firewood. Let's take a step back first. Let's see what Su Cheng wants to do before talking about it."

"I think he wants to be a political broker." Counselor Liu returned to the circle, full of hatred.

Jiao Guoping sighed and said, "Which oil businessman has not hired a few political brokers? Let's take a look."

He said this because another team of people came to the banquet hall.

A team of Russians.

This is a new thing for Azerbaijanis in the 1990s.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, former political prisoners occupied the Azerbaijan political arena, represented by Elicbey. Criticizing the former Soviet Union and Russia was once a fashionable thing in Azerbaijan, especially politicians. It seemed that if they could not show their democratic style without criticizing Russia.

The one-sided strategy implemented by Elicbey completely pushed Russian forces out of the Azerbaijan region.

Therefore, since the founding of the Republic of Azerbaijan, there have been fewer and fewer Russians here, and Russian missions have almost disappeared.

Yeltsin, who was frustrated by his own problems, seemed to be unable to control what was happening thousands of kilometers away, allowing Azerbaijan to fall deeper and deeper under the Turkish strategy.

However, Russia will eventually return to its traditional zone of influence.

Aliyev is a good choice for Russia, the successor to the former Soviet Union.

However, not everyone welcomes the arrival of the Russians.

Aliyev stepped forward to greet the Russian mission, others were watching, and many were whispering.

A smile that seemed light and dark overflowed from the corner of Su Cheng's mouth.

Russia is Aliyev's confidence.

The new Russia will eventually be unable to escape the shackles of the Soviet Union.

Turkey, which was favored by Elicbey, is behind it. Western Europe and the United States. They worked together to drive Russia out of the Caucasus. Two years ago, Yeltsin had no time to take care of it, but two years later, the situation was different.

In fact, as long as there is a chance, Russia ultimately hopes to return to Azerbaijan. At least, it cannot hand over Azerbaijan to Europe and the United States.

If we look back 20 years, Turkey was actively seeking to enter the EU at that time, just like Azerbaijan... NATO's eastward expansion was already enough for Russia, and the EU's eastward expansion would be even more embarrassing...

Therefore, when the sudden military coup in Azerbaijan occurred, Russia immediately sent a mission, and the first thing he found was Aliyev, a former Soviet leader with a more connected origin.

It can be said that even if there is no Sucheng, as long as Russia is willing to mediate, Aliyev's strength will increase greatly.

Compared with Russia, Türkiye is at best a regional power and is embarrassed to have great responsibilities.

Under the attention of everyone, Aliyev and the Russian delegation quickly formed a group of people, and the dinner suddenly became lively.

Most of the powerful people in Azerbaijan are still powerful people in the Soviet era and have close ties with Russia. A group of people said it was very happy and even seized a lot of the spectral that originally belonged to Hussein.

Su Cheng watched coldly and did not join in the fun.

He has accumulated enough decisive points, so there is no need to get involved among the Russians.

The diplomats present all went wild.

The reappearance of the Russians is not good news for them.

Not to mention Jiao Guoping and Counselor Liu. From a diplomatic perspective, this is as heavyweight news as the Azerbaijan coup.

If the operation is done well, it will take a minute to achieve the pursuit of Counselor Liu.

However, they had a Sucheng near the water tower, but they could only see from afar, without any information. The entire embassy was scratching his ears and faces, and in the next few days, they all ran around Baku City.

The available information not only did not satisfy the embassy, ​​but also increased their burden.

Nothing else, the Russians obviously support Aliyev more, not only support, but it seems that Aliyev also has a reverse influence on Russia.

This is not surprising. If Aliyev becomes the president of Azerbaijan, his influence on Russia will be stronger than Elicbey's influence on the Turkish government.

The official letter from Minister Zheng to Su Cheng, "Stop Supporting Aliyev", now looks like a death-induced talisman.

Su Cheng seemed to be unaware of Minister Zheng's embarrassment, and all his energy was transferred to the instigation of Husseinnov's subordinates.

This was a procedure he had agreed with Aliyev. Once Husseinnov wanted to compete for the presidential position, Sucheng would suspend direct financial assistance to Husseinnov and convert it into financial assistance to Husseinnov's subordinates.

To this end, Aliyev prepared a whole day to convince Sucheng and promised several conditions.

Su Cheng spent a whole day at ease to listen to Aliyev's conditions.

After all, it is risky to put the country's highest force in control and not to fund the marginalized Aliyev. It is even more challenging to instigate his men.

If Sucheng was not a foreigner, and had it been expected, he would definitely not have supported Aliyev so much.
