Chapter 737: Chapter 737: Two Permanent Members Join Forces_1

"Honestly, I am not that interested in that godforsaken place, I did this out of convenience. Go ahead and tell me directly what you’d like me to do."

Wang Ye didn’t waste time beating around the bush and asked straight away.

Gavriil chuckled as he was quite aware of the Wang Ye’s personality, so he laid out his cards.

"Naturally, we hope that you can solidify your control over the country of Burkina Faso through Wagner Company. Of course, don’t make it too obvious, at least do not give other countries a chance to interfere. Then, use Burkina Faso as a pivot point, and gradually infiltrate... into other African countries."

This was an honest statement with no disguise.

Gavriil would never say this in front of anyone else besides Wang Ye.

After all, some things can be done, but can’t be said.

Wang Ye had a headache, the problem always seems to circle back to this, doesn’t it?

It appears that he originally intended to lend a helping hand to Mumi and casually broaden the living space for Wagner Company, but in the end, he was used by the Kremlin....

This controlling Burkina Faso and subsequently infiltrating other African nations, one would know the purpose at a glance.

It’s to expand Russia’s influence.

These things, to Wang Ye himself, are completely useless and not worth the effort and frustration.

But since Gavriil specifically mentioned it, it represents the Kremlin’s intentions, and it’s hard for him to decline...

After all, the Wagner Company’s current strength, it emerged ostensibly from his own funding, but in fact, it couldn’t do without the Kremlin’s support.

Otherwise, how could so many elite fighters have been "sent" to Wagner!

And how could so many advanced weapons and equipment be sold to Wagner at such a low price!

In front of Shao Yigu, he does not have that high prestige, this Wang Ye knew clearly.

......

Smiling wryly, Wang Ye scratched his head and said hesitantly: "Although Mumi ascended to power with the support of Wagner, he is still the leader of a sovereign country, and it’s going to be difficult to control him all the time."

Gavriil quickly waved his hand, "Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about making Mumi a puppet forever. Rather, it is better to maintain good diplomatic relations with our country during his tenure. Then use this Burkina Faso to gradually enlarge our influence."

That’s the rhetoric, but isn’t the meaning still the same? Wang Ye isn’t foolish, how could he not understand.

However, considering Mumi’s foundation, if he truly wants to control Burkina Faso’s situation, he cannot do without the Wagner Company’s support.

After all, the military strength of Wagner was the main reason, or even the sole reason for his rise to power!

It goes without saying that for quite a long time in the future, Mumi will need Wagner’s help.

During this period, it can be said that Wagner practically controls the country...

Maintaining a good diplomatic relationship with Russia is something that should be done.

Moreover, this is also highly beneficial for Burkina Faso.

Even if Russia is struggling, it is still one of the major powers recognised globally. A tiny fraction of their resources would be enough to keep Burkina Faso afloat!

"Alright, I’ll let someone communicate with President Mumi later and bring up this matter. By the way, shouldn’t we show some support for Mumi as he just took office?" Wang Ye asked with a smile.

Gavriil was taken aback and casually asked, "How to show support?"

"Didn’t you just say that our two nations still have agent relations? Then we can take advantage of Mumi’s inauguration to upgrade diplomatic relations, and send a formal ambassador. This would also give Mumi a lot of face. When their diplomatic direction tilts towards us in the future, they can also explain to the citizens," Wang Ye said earnestly.

This idea was a spur-of-the-moment thought.

Of course, Mumi’s rise is shrouded in a bit of an "unusual" aura.

As one would expect, both domestically in Burkina Faso and internationally, there must be a lot of skepticism about this.

Fortunately, Petrov reached an agreement with Kombore, making Kombore to voluntarily step aside and explain his decision.

Otherwise, the international opinion would have been massive.

Now, initiating Russia to show congratulatory goodwill to Mumi, and upgrading the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

This is genuine support for Mumi!

If other countries want to question Mumi’s legitimacy, they will first have to consider Russia’s reputation.

As expected, Gavriil also approved this idea, he smiled and nodded, "That would be the best! In fact, there is another major power, which can join us in celebrating Mumi’s succession, and establish diplomatic relations. You understand...."

Wang Ye immediately understood, the country Gavriil was referring to was naturally, that major Eastern country!

Indeed, if China and Russia join forces, and quickly acknowledge the legitimacy of Mumi as the President, and establish diplomatic relations, it is undoubtedly a timely help for Mumi.

With the support of these "two permanent members", one would assume no other country would dare to criticize anymore.

Besides, Burkina Faso is really insignificant. Many countries wouldn’t go against China and Russia for the sake of such a place.

......

The last few days, Mumi felt like he was living in a dream!

Originally, in this coup, he was just a "minor role" player.

He was thinking of following behind the old chieftain, shouting slogans, and taking some minor benefits along the way, without expecting too much.

But overnight, there was a dramatic change, as the minor role became the only leading role!

With Petrov’s strong support, he transformed overnight from a local tribal chieftain to the President!

Moreover, shortly after he made a TV address, before the domestic issues could be addressed, more good news arrived.

China and Russia simultaneously sent congratulatory messages, celebrating Mumi’s appointment as the President, and proposed the establishment of diplomatic relations, the mutual assignment of ambassadors!

Ambassador exchanges may sound very common, but many strong countries do not even set up embassies in smaller African nations.

The reason is simple, they simply don’t even bother!

If they are willing to set up an embassy in your country, that’s a huge favor being granted.

Oh, it’s worth mentioning that Burkina Faso did not have diplomatic relations with a certain Eastern country before.

This is because Kombore had diplomatic relations with Taiwan!

Of course, the only request from China this time is to expel officers of Taiwan, and Burkina Faso is to sever diplomatic relations with Taiwan!

Mumi didn’t know how to handle this.

When he asked Petrov’s opinions, Petrov directly asked him: "One is a region not recognised by the international community, and the other is a sovereign power. One region lacks the qualifications to enter the United Nations, and the other is a permanent member country. Do you still need to ask how to choose? "

Mumi immediately understood what he had to do.
