Liu Zhizhong suddenly noticed something amiss—Is President Landen having more difficulty with his legs?

After all, in the past, Old Landen had several instances of tripping when boarding the plane, and not just once.

Back then, he was 80 years old, being the president of the world's most powerful country wasn't easy.

In recent years, under Landen's leadership, the world landscape has undergone tremendous changes, yet maintaining relative stability, with the mainstream system not collapsing entirely, is quite impressive.

Despite the war's outset, the British were the first to support Kekistan, but the Americans swiftly followed, standing on the side of justice.

Regarding the military aid bill to Kekistan, President Landen was not stingy and exhibited shrewd strategies.

Of course, in this matter, Liu Zhizhong was very cooperative with Landen, giving the elderly gentleman plenty of face, winning considerable favor.

The Wale Republic, since its founding, has provided over 150 billion dollars in military aid to Kekistan, which is indeed substantial support.

In fact, it surpasses the aid provided by the United States itself by quite a bit!

Now, seeing this, Liu Zhizhong noticed that Landen's hand was still holding onto the door, slightly trembling, so he quickly climbed up the ladder to the airplane door.

With a standard diplomatic hug, Liu Zhizhong helped steady President Landen.

Yet this scene was seized upon by those with malicious intent, especially from Great East Pot, who mocked Chi Zhongshui, the second-term president of Wale, calling him an American dog, a sycophant who behaves like he's met his birth father, eager to ingratiate himself onto the old man's wrinkled face—truly a sycophant, a mere servant.

But who knows? Liu Zhizhong was simply assisting an elderly man, resolving an awkward situation, offering the man dignity and respect.

Embracing President Landen, Liu Zhizhong whispered, "Take it slow, are your legs giving you trouble now? Sitting on the plane can indeed be quite uncomfortable!"

Landen nodded gratefully, chuckling, "Getting old, really, every day worse than the last! I just had a cup of coffee, reviewed some documents while sitting down, and when I got up to come here, my legs felt numb and uncooperative. But fortunately, with your help, I can stand now, I'm mobile again."

"You must be careful, be sure to be careful, here, take it slow… I'll support you, we can carefully descend hand in hand..."

"Okay, thank you…"

"Please..."

Just like old and young friends, they descended the plane together, hand in hand.

In reality, Liu Zhizhong was secretly exerting effort to provide Landen with optimal support, making it easier and more comfortable for him to walk.

From the perspective of global media, these two influential presidents seemed to have an excellent relationship, both diplomatically and personally.

In people's eyes globally, gradually, the political realm of the world formed three poles.

The eastern pole is unmistakably the Wale Republic.

The western pole includes England and the United States.

And as for another pole, who knows? Who leads it?

At the airport, President Landen and Liu Zhizhong both delivered brief speeches, exchanging pleasantries. Although there were no elaborate welcoming ceremonies, there were still many journalists. After all, like the United States, the Wale Republic values freedom of speech and the press.

After the speeches, per protocol, each was supposed to board their respective vehicles and head to the Wale Presidential Mansion for an official heads of state meeting, involving some diplomatic matters and such.

President Landen's vehicle, a US-made Cadillac, super bulletproof, was transported following his plane on a spectacular cargo plane, with fighter escort. The Wale Republic also had military aircraft for reception and accompaniment.

But this time, Liu Zhizhong didn't get into his own vehicle, instead, he was invited by President Landen to ride in the US President's car.

Once the car doors closed, the entire world fell silent, its soundproofing technology was truly impressive.

The spacious body, luxurious interior, and exceptional soundproofing were exceedingly comfortable.

Once inside, Landen smiled and said, "Mr. Chi, welcome to the Beast!"

Liu Zhizhong smiled slightly, nodding, "The Beast, quite a fitting name! Thank you, sir, for inviting me in to enjoy and explore the world's strongest nation's presidential vehicle, it feels excellent! It's truly wonderful to have the honor of welcoming you, sir, on your visit."

President Landen, pleased, nodded, smiling gently like a gracious elder, an undoubtedly charming gentleman.

Still, he earnestly added, "Perhaps, what we discuss in the car is the key to this visit. Once at your Presidential Mansion, all discussions will be public relations formalities."

Liu Zhizhong quickly understood, nodding, "I understand. How about I have the convoy change the route, so we can enjoy the sights of Kachin, for how long would be appropriate?"

Landen chuckled, "An hour, perhaps? Yes, about an hour..."

"Alright…"

Immediately, Liu Zhizhong dialed his accompanying office manager, asking him to arrange a new route.

This was quickly confirmed.

Thus, the original must-pass route had all unilateral restrictions lifted, restoring passage capacity.

And now, the new route genuinely requires no restrictions.

After the convoy set off, President Landen had already poured two glasses of the premium wine from his car, preparing to share a drink with Liu Zhizhong while enjoying the view and discussing matters.

Of course, the president's car also had some snacks to accompany the wine, even cigars to smoke, the ventilation system would keep the air perpetually fresh.

Liu Zhizhong raised the wine glass with a smile, "In your official car, I warmly welcome your arrival!"

"Hehe…"

Landen laughed, raising his glass to meet, "I also formally congratulate Mr. Chi Zhongshui on being re-elected as president of the Wale Republic, soon to embark on a second term! I hope there will be a third term in the future? Yes, I believe there will."

Liu Zhizhong also quipped, "Are you referring to consecutive third terms or other kinds?"

"Hahaha... I presume you won't modify the constitution like Porlaxi Shijin and Gu Changsha, will you?"

Liu Zhizhong laughed heartily, shaking his head, "I wouldn't dare encroach on a dictator's prerogative!"

"Hahaha…"

The elder and younger gazed at each other, laughing together, clinking their glasses, each elegantly taking a sip.

Putting down the glass, Liu Zhizhong smiled and said, "The airport welcoming ceremony wasn't that grand, without any military bands, I hope you understand."

"I am not displeased! If it were Plant, he would probably be upset, hehe…"
