Chapter 642 Narcissistic Dum

Eastern Europe, Latvia.

This small country that was originally closed is welcoming the guests from the United States with great fanfare today. This is the first time in the history of Latvia.

Needless to say, in the Soviet era, capitalist countries and socialist countries were always inseparable. After the split of the Soviet Union, Latvia fell into a national crisis.

Various livelihood problems began to appear, and prices in Latvia, where the light industry was weak, began to soar. Especially those products related to people's livelihood, the price is even more expensive for a period of time.

As a daily necessities, vodka rose to 10,000 rubles a bottle within a period of time.

At that time, the ruble was as worthless as straw paper. At the same time, because of the soaring prices of these people's livelihood products, the domestic situation has become more and more severe.

In the end, a civil war that lasted almost ten years broke out. Latvia, which had a population of 10 million people, went through wars and diseases, and finally after Dum reunified the country, the population was only five. million or so.

Five million people died in the ten-year war, and of course there are also many refugees who fled abroad.

God knows how much it took Doom to end the war in this country. After the reunification, Latvia still cut off ties with the Western world. It can even be said that except for a few Eastern European countries, Latvia has almost cut off ties with other countries in the world.

This closed country is like a mystery. For people in other countries in the world, the little knowledge about Latvia almost comes from various media reports.

According to most of the media, Latvia is a poorer, more closed country with more brutal leaders.

But when Li Jie and Dr. Banner dressed as nightcrawlers flew over the country on the special plane of the Randall Group, those rumors were instantly shattered.

The place where the plane landed is the capital of Latvia - Doum (trust me, the name is not misspelled).

Through the windows on the side of the plane, the two of them could see the city of Doom and its surroundings from the plane that was flying lower and lower.

Outside the city, a series of uniquely built country villas are scattered on the green land. Red brick walls and black tiled roofs, occasionally decorated with some white stripes. It's like a house in a Nordic fairy tale world.

If you open the scarlet door, you will expect whether it is a natural elf or a hospitable dwarf who opens the door for you. Rude perhaps, but kind-hearted wood elves?

As the plane gets lower and lower, look over the fields and turn the view to the city of Doom.

The most striking thing is the huge castle located in the center of the city. This place has been greatly exaggerated by many media and described as the residence of the devil. This is the residence of Dum - the ruined castle.

The main body of the gray castle does have a daunting feel to it, especially when it's named after destruction.

After the plane landed, the welcome convoy dispatched by Dum had arrived on the runway of the airport.

As soon as they got off the plane, Nightcrawler Li Jie and Dr. Banner were brought into the convoy.

Dr. Banner said jokingly: "Can't we go to the duty-free area of ​​the airport to buy some goods and then go to see Dum?"

The steward in charge of receiving Li Jie and Dr. Banner in Doom's ruined castle is a middle-aged man of about fifty years old named Punov.

Punov said politely and solemnly: "Even if the two of you went to the commodity area of ​​the airport, we actually don't sell duty-free products here. Because the domestic rationing system is implemented, the airport does not sell any duty-free products. .”

"Huh?!" Li Jie was taken aback by these words: "So, Doom is still planning to implement the Soviet Union's old ways? That can't be done!"

Punov still said politely: "Whether it is appropriate to do so is something that my master Dum is considering. Please get in the car, the master has arranged a meeting for the two of you." Travel, let the two generals see the style of Latvia and talk to him after talking with him."

Li Jie and Banner did not come to Latvia for tourism. Just like when Dum gave Li Jie information and expressed his willingness to use Eastern Europe as a breakthrough to promote the super high-speed railway plan. It was discussed within the Illuminati.

The promotion of the super high-speed rail plan is to be promoted, but at the same time, Dum's ideas also need to be examined. It is impossible to easily believe the words of a dictator, especially if the dictator has a bad record.

So Li Jie decided to come to Latvia, and he also took Dr. Banner with him.

The first is that Dr. Banner is the executor of the entire super high-speed railway plan. Since Latvia is willing to spend tens of billions of dollars to start the entire plan.

Then Dr. Banner needs to make a complete survey on the spot, and have a rough plan for the routes in the entire New Eastern European Union.

And the second reason is that Dr. Banner is currently the human being with the strongest single combat power that Li Jie can find. If something really happened in Latvia, Dr. Banner could suppress Dumkenen's plot by force.

In the car, Dr. Benner took a look at Li Jie, who was dressed as Nightcrawler, and said in a low voice: "How much sincerity do you think Doom has? He is really willing to use Latvia as a breakthrough, so that we can use the super The high-speed rail plan to be extended to the world?"

Li Jie shrugged: "At least for now, we don't have a better choice, right? However, I have previously lobbied China's Shang Qi and Zheng Xian with an iron fist, and the super high-speed railway plan just coincides with China's strategic plan. "

"But the Chinese don't like to stand out. If Latvia really starts to build a super high-speed railway, China is likely to be the first country to join. In this regard, Daniel is lobbying. He has some contacts, he has many senior brothers and sisters in the Divine Spear Bureau."

Dr. Banner touched his chin and said, "Is this the so-called nepotism?"

Li Jie continued to shrug.

Although the two did not come to Latvia for tourism, since Dum had already arranged the itinerary, they were too embarrassed to refuse.

Accompanied by Punov, the two visited the Latvian University of Technology, where the hardware and software facilities and faculty are amazing, no different from world-class universities.

After visiting the University of Latvia, Punov took the two of them to another landmark building in Dum.

The largest and most beautiful in the country built after Dum unified the country, with an antique Dum train station.

Board a special tourist train and travel along the Klein River. Along the way, you will make short stops at Dumburg, Dum Valley, Dum Gorge, Dum Tun, Dum Village, and Dumlin.

Then arrive at the destination at around four o'clock in the afternoon and enjoy the spectacular and beautiful Dum Waterfall. Then start the return journey.

On the way back, Li Jie whispered to Dr. Banner: "Is Dum a narcissistic pervert?"

Dr. Banner fell into deep thought, and answered after a while: "If you use this naming method, he is indeed."

The two talked quietly, trying not to let Punov hear.

Until around seven o'clock in the evening, Nightcrawler and One-Punch Banner finally arrived at the Castle of Doom.

And the world-famous villain, Doctor Doom, has prepared a sumptuous dinner for the two of them.
