Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 537 Two Princes

With Li Zhijie's current status as one of the three giants of the Tiger Roar Base, would he still be afraid of not being able to marry a wife? Even if he is just working under Lu Shaohua, this identity is extremely scary. As long as they are not from an ancient family, anyone who can get close to him will have the support of the entire Tiger Roar Mercenary Group.

Yes, with Lu Shaohua's extremely protective character, if Li Zhijie wanted to take action against a person, an organization, or a family, Lu Shaohua would definitely not stand idly by. Not only would he not stand idly by, he would also take great action and support him with all his strength.

To be honest, Lu Shaohua never regarded Li Zhijie and the others as outsiders. He regarded Li Zhijie and the others as his family. If something happened to his family, could Lu Shaohua just ignore it? The answer is definitely no.

Over the years, Li Zhijie and his men have been fighting desperately in Africa, wandering on the battlefield, encountering countless dangers, and have been struggling to establish the current Tiger Roar Mercenary Group and the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group Base. How could Lu Shaohua just ignore them?

Lu Shaohua's words have made his intention clear. He fully supports Li Zhijie. Even if the family does not agree, Lu Shaohua does not mind using some means. Even if it is to kidnap the bride, it will not be a big problem.

Li Zhijie knew Lu Shaohua's character very well. He was protective, extreme, and overbearing at times. Of course, that didn't mean he was unreasonable. He would always treat others with courtesy before anything else. If the talks failed, he would take action. This was a typical example of using courtesy before force.

Li Zhijie knew in his heart that Lu Shaohua would give his full support, but he did not expect that Lu Shaohua would support him with such wholehearted support. He was deeply moved, but Li Zhijie did not say it out loud. He only secretly vowed in his heart to do his best to help Lu Shaohua manage the intelligence network.

Lu Shaohua's position has been made clear, and he has nothing more to say. All Li Zhijie needs to do is remember it. The next thing is to have a good rest so that he will have the energy to meet with the royal family when he arrives in Saudi Arabia.

Time flies, and more than ten hours passed quickly. When the broadcast in the luxurious room sounded that the plane was about to land, Lu Shaohua got up, sat down, fastened his seat belt, rubbed his eyes, cheered himself up, and prepared to get off the plane.

Since Li Zhijie had made arrangements yesterday and the Saudi Arabian royal family was also prepared, when Lu Shaohua's private plane landed at an international airport, a large group of people quickly stood guard not far from the private plane, fully armed, and the scene was extremely grand.

Come to think of it, although the Saudi Arabian royal family does not know Lu Shaohua's true identity, the boss behind the single-story Tiger Roar Base makes them have to pay attention to him. You have to know that the position of the Tiger Roar Mercenary Base in the international arena is not just a Tiger Roar Mercenary Group, but also a secret identity, the world's largest arms dealer.

There is a popular saying in some special channels that any weapons and equipment can be bought at the Tiger Roar Base, as long as you have money and the people at the Tiger Roar Base are willing to sell them, even nuclear weapons can be bought.

This may be bad news for peaceful countries, but for countries in the Middle East that have been in constant war, being able to buy any weapons means an extra layer of protection.

It is precisely because of the special status of the Tiger Roar Base that is so extraordinary to the countries in the Chinese region that the royal family of Saudi Arabia attaches great importance to Lu Shaohua's arrival. Their king even sent two princes to pick him up at the airport.

Lu Shaohua really didn't expect the scene to be so big, but he was also slightly stunned, and then he figured out the key. He smiled faintly, didn't say much, got off the plane, and walked to the other end of the red carpet that had just been laid.

Lu Shaohua's handsome and somewhat youthful face has appeared on TV and in newspapers many times, and a king in the Saudi Arabian royal family must know Lu Shaohua, the chairman of Phoenix Group.

Stunned, yes, they were stunned. The two princes who came to pick them up were indeed stunned. When they saw that it was Lu Shaohua getting off the plane, they were stunned and thought they had seen it wrong. But when they saw Li Zhijie next to Lu Shaohua, they recovered, proving that they were not mistaken.

Lu Shaohua didn't know that the people coming to greet him were two princes. He just glanced at them indifferently, then walked towards them with a smile.

Lu Shaohua didn't know him, but Li Zhijie, who often dealt with the Saudi Arabian royal family, couldn't possibly not know him. He whispered a few words in Lu Shaohua's ear and told Lu Shaohua the other party's identity roughly.

When Lu Shaohua learned the other party's identity, he didn't react much. He just nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then quickened his pace.

Shaking hands is a basic etiquette for meeting people. Although Lu Shaohua seldom interacts with the outside world, he still understands this etiquette. In addition, he is a guest, so he took the initiative to extend his hand and shake hands with the two princes.

"Hello! Welcome to Saudi Arabia!"

The one who spoke was the eldest prince of the Saudi Arabian royal family, who was also the leader of the airport pick-up. He spoke in Chinese, and although his pronunciation was not very standard, Lu Shaohua could still hear it clearly.

"Hello! Welcome." The second prince did not fall behind and shook hands with Lu Shaohua. He also said something to Lu Shaohua in Chinese, and then added, "My father is not feeling well today. I am sorry that I couldn't come to pick you up in person."

The second prince spoke Chinese very well and was a very smart person. Apart from anything else, just the last sentence he said making excuses for their father made Lu Shaohua admire him very much. Even though he knew that the other party was lying, Lu Shaohua gladly accepted it.

As for why the second prince was making excuses for his father, Lu Shaohua also knew the reason. The Saudi Arabian royal family did not know that he, Lu Shaohua, the chairman of the Phoenix Group, was the boss behind the Tiger Roar Base, so even though they took him seriously, they only sent two princes to welcome him.

But what if Lu Shaohua's two identities are combined? The chairman of Phoenix Group and the behind-the-scenes boss of Tiger Roar Base, these two identities added together are not just one plus two, that identity is very scary, even if they are the royal family of Saudi Arabia, they have to arrange the largest specifications to welcome them.

Lu Shaohua knew that the second prince was afraid that he would be dissatisfied with the reception standards, so he made this excuse, so he smiled and said, "Thank you two princes for coming to pick you up at the airport. Well, the two princes speak Chinese well, hehe!"

Lu Shaohua is a smart man. He did not mention the fact that the king of the Saudi Arabian royal family did not come to pick him up at the airport. He changed the topic to Chinese and successfully changed the subject, easing the slight embarrassment.

However, when the second prince was making excuses for his father, Lu Shaohua noticed that there was something wrong with the eldest prince's expression, which was a little gloomy. Although it was only a flash, Lu Shaohua still caught it.

At the same time, Lu Shaohua also understood one thing, that is, the royal family of Saudi Arabia is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface, and the fighting inside has not stopped. As for what is going on, Lu Shaohua doesn't care. After all, it is someone else's family affair and none of his business.

After some pleasantries and a casual chat, the group left the red carpet, led by the two princes, got into the vehicle that had been prepared long ago, and quickly left the airport, probably heading for their destination.

When getting on the car, Lu Shaohua sat in the same car with the eldest prince, accompanied by Li Zhijie. As for the second prince, he got on the car at the back and did not sit with Lu Shaohua and others, as if there was other arrangement.

Lu Shaohua didn't know if there were other arrangements, but based on the excuses the Second Prince made for his father, he believed that Lu Shaohua's arrival had already been heard by the King of Saudi Arabia. Lu Shaohua was also sure that when Lu Shaohua got off the car, the King of Saudi Arabia would come to greet him.

Facts confirmed Lu Shaohua's guess. When the car arrived at the destination, the king of the Saudi Arabian royal family was already waiting at the door. He shook hands with Lu Shaohua enthusiastically and spoke a lot of Arabic.

Li Zhijie has gained a lot since he followed Chen Guobang to the Soviet Union, but the biggest gain is language. He can speak Russian, English, German, French, African languages ​​and Arabic well, and can serve as a translator for Lu Shaohua.

The content of the Saudi Arabian royal family's words was probably some welcome speeches and to make up for the lie told by the second prince, saying that he was not feeling well and therefore did not go to the airport to greet him in person.

Since the other party had shown this attitude, what else could Lu Shaohua say? He showed gratitude, thanked for the reception, and at the same time showed concern about the health of the King of Saudi Arabia. It seemed that he really treated the King of Saudi Arabia as a patient.

There is no need to say much about what happened next. Lu Shaohua and Li Zhijie were guests of honor of the Saudi Arabian royal family. As for Li Shangkui, only Li Shangkui stayed with Lu Shaohua as a personal bodyguard, and the others were arranged to rest.

Now that they have arrived at the place where the Saudi Arabian royal family lives, Lu Shaohua's safety is not a problem. If problems arise in this place, then their Saudi Arabian royal family will not be able to gain a foothold in the world.

Of course, Lu Shaohua would not be at ease just like that, and he still kept Li Zhijie and Li Shangkui by his side. With the two of them around, it would be impossible for ten or twenty people to get close to him.

However, the reception time was not long. After a while, a place for Lu Shaohua and others to rest was arranged. After all, Lu Shaohua had just taken a flight of more than ten hours from Africa and it was not appropriate for him to talk about business. After some politeness, a place for Lu Shaohua to rest was arranged.

The place where Lu Shaohua came was where the Saudi Arabian royal family lived. It was not an official reception, but more like inviting guests to their home. But this was actually good. Although Lu Shaohua held the official rank of lieutenant general, he did not want the Saudi Arabian royal family to receive him in an official manner. A guest-style invitation was fine.

I stayed there and took a short rest until the evening, when I was invited by the king of the Saudi Arabian royal family to a family dinner. I got to know the direct members of the Saudi Arabian royal family, and then ended the trip and returned to my residence to rest.

A day passed, but Lu Shaohua knew that this was just the beginning, the first step. The second step should be to take Lu Shaohua to visit the residence of the Saudi Arabian royal family, and then get down to business and start discussing the joint development of the oil field.
