It was the same day, this Wednesday, Simon set off from Rome in the morning and flew to Rifny.

Nancy, who initially threatened to see the girl Simon raised in Ukraine, did not accompany her anymore. She had been working for four consecutive days, from Amsterdam to Helsinki, from Helsinki to St. Petersburg, and from St. Petersburg to Rome, the small senior executives were both fulfilling and exhausted.

So I decided to stay in Rome because Ukraine was too cold and planned to travel around with Sofia, who had always had a good relationship in private.

The reason is very legitimate.

However, when Simon joked that he would force Nancy to take Rivney, a small senior executive finally begged for mercy, and he couldn't stand it. In fact, Simon was not that cruel, but a little woman had too little appetite.

At ten o'clock in the morning, from Rome, with the most authentic Mediterranean climate, to the snow-covered Rifny, Simon did not gather a group of women like a small senior executive teased, but immediately went to work.

In fact, I was working all the way.

In Amsterdam, the first stop, I personally had some contact with Philips, the parent company of Polygon, to promote the formal start of acquisition negotiations between the two parties.

Of course, the other side of the smoke bomb did not give up.

The second stop is Helsinki, of course, Nokia.

The global mobile communications industry is developing rapidly, and Simon is not responsible for not paying attention to Nokia. It took a day and a half to discuss with Yoma Olia and Nokia senior executives all aspects of the company's development layout in the next year.

The third stop was St. Petersburg, and only stayed for one night.

It was mainly a low-key small cocktail party. Yeltsin sent his daughter to attend again, and Mikhail Friedman, the main spokesperson of Westeros system in Russia. He had never seen a short middle-aged man who had risen step by step in the Moscow officialdom for a year.

Yeltsin's daughter Tatyana also made a special mention, saying that the other party happened to be sent to the Far East, and his tone was still accompanied by some temptations.

Simon did not deliberately pretend to forget someone's existence, but also had a dull reaction.

In fact, I was also watching coldly.

If Yeltsin had brought someone up like in the original time and space, the other party would definitely remember who pushed him to take a critical step.

If history changes, if others control Russia, with the current state of oligarchs in this country and lack of strong leaders to turn the situation around, Russia is likely to collapse like Ukraine. As the top super capital oligarch in the world's pyramids, this is true. Just talking about Russia's game of chess is still beneficial to Simon.

The fourth stop in Rome, on the one hand, we need to personally check the construction progress of Universal Studios Rome, and on the other hand, we also arrange various communications to maintain the connections of all walks of life in Italy's political, business, cultural and entertainment.

Especially the latter.

Because Italy can be regarded as the foundation of the Westeros system in the fashion industry layout, Melisandra's aircraft carrier battle group pattern, the core "aircraft carrier" of luggage and clothing is Gucci, and the core aircraft carrier of jewelry and watches is "Bulgari", both of which originated in Italy.

The last stop is Rifny.

Rifney City West Airport.

Vasily Borisov, commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Western Operations Command, who is headquartered in Rivni, stood in the crowd of picking up the plane, and looked at a group of Rovno Gang celebrities around him, sighing and feeling lost and depressed.

If it was still the Soviet era, the current situation would never have happened.

However, what makes people feel almost magical is that a group of elites on the top of the former Soviet Union's pyramids actually came together with humility and respect to welcome an American under 30. Not only that, in recent days, the entire city behind them has also completely welcomed the treatment that only some major heads of state can receive in order to welcome someone's martial law.

However, thinking about the other party having a terrifying net worth equivalent to dozens of Ukrainian economic size, Vasily Borisov had to admit that Simon Westeros deserved this treatment.

Even in the city under your feet, it is no exaggeration to say that Simon Westeros is the city lord.

In just a few years, Rifni's surge from a small town in the northwestern border of Ukraine to an important Eastern European city with a population of one million was completely driven by the other party.

Vasily Borisov even made a secret deduction in private. If, in some cases, no other consequences were considered, how feasible is it to swallow this tempting fruit when the Western Operations Command, whom he was responsible for, wanted to achieve a forced military takeover of Rifny?

The answer is very lingering.

The total size of the troops controlled by the Western Operations Command is currently less than 60,000. As for combat power, the 60,000 troops whose budget has been reduced for many years have not been replaced. The combat power is probably similar to the Russian army in Chechnya, and it can almost be said to have little combat power.

Let’s look at the Rovno Gang again. Not to mention the extent of the other party’s expansion in private, it only made public data that 5,000 private soldiers with cutting-edge American equipment and took turns to Africa and Yugoslavia and were baptized by actual combat. They were even a hard bone that 60,000 people here could not be gnawed.

What's more, Borisov just dares to think about the so-called military takeover. Because he wants military takeover, at most a Kieving authority is behind him. And even if the powerful Westeros system is not mentioned, there is another terrifying existence of the US government.

Therefore, if you really do that, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you will not have a good ending.

Vasily Borisov once again missed the powerful Soviet era. Seeing that Simon Westeros had already approached, he quickly showed a gentler smile and shook hands with the other party and greeted him: "Simon, I'm glad you've come to Rifny again."

Since you have made a decision, it is best not to be distracted.

Borisov is not lacking in this decision to be able to climb to his current position.

Simon also smiled and shook hands with Borisov, and obviously stayed in front of the other party for a while, chatting about some seemingly irrelevant trivial matters. This small detail made Borisov feel much more comfortable inexplicably.

Simon Westeros still value him very much.

After such a greeting, everyone left the airport together, in a vast and powerful manner.

In addition to the three cars belonging to Simon, there are also Rovno Governor Andrei Smirnov, Oldek head Sergei Komorov, UMFS president Krim Dereviyanko and other core senior executives of the Rovno Gang. This is a list of people who have been arranged in advance as usual. They are not qualified to connect to the first-class character at a slightest time.

One of the three black Mercedes-Benz cars leading the lane in front of the convoy. When the convoy left the airport, Simon asked Celia Miller beside him: "Have you talked to Borisov in detail?"

Since Vasily Borisov appears here today, it obviously means that the other party wants to completely participate in the Rovno Gang and no longer have the same cooperative relationship as before.

The commander of the war zone who controls the military affairs of several major border states northwest Ukraine is loyal to him. Of course, Simon will not refuse to accept it, and he must also give enough attention and courtesy, because this is equivalent to indirectly controlling the military power of an area.

The politics, economy and military were all held in their hands, and no one believed that Simon was not the owner of this area.

Celia shook her head: "He wants to talk to you in person."

"Then after lunch," Simon asked again, "Tell me again, what is going on here on Borisov?"

Celia smiled and said, "It's because of the economic crisis. From last year to now, Ukraine's already unstable hryvnar has depreciated by more than 30%. The authorities' finances are tight and they can only reduce their budgets again. Boss, you should also understand that in Kiev, it is the least important one compared to the south and the east. Therefore, in another disarmament decision by the Kuchima government, the Western Operations Command was cut the most. This year, not only has the budget been compressed by 20%, but it also requires the current 57,000 people to be 40,000. Borisov can't afford it at all."

The Asian financial storm that broke out last year seemed to have ceased on the surface, but in fact, the subsequent impact has been fermenting and spreading around the world. Countries and even countless companies in the world have tightened fiscal spending, which not only led to a significant reduction in funds flowing to Eastern Europe, which is in urgent need of reconstruction, but also has also experienced a reverse outflow. Typically, Soros withdraws a large amount of funds from Russia, which has led to the insult of various Eastern European countries again.

Ukraine had experienced an economic collapse in the early 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It had just eased two years ago, and then carried out monetary reforms after Kuch came to power, which was originally developing in a good direction.

Unfortunately, a storm was shaking again.

Simon knew very well that in 1998, for Eastern European countries such as Russia and Ukraine, it was the lowest point after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

On the other hand, in this depression, the city of Rifni, which is still developing rapidly, and even the Rovno Gang, which uses this city as its foundation, is undoubtedly an anomaly.

Vasily Borisov, who saw this clearly in the game, probably understood the ending of Ukraine. This time he decisively chose to make a complete contribution to the Rovno Gang, which was undoubtedly the best result for him.

After hearing Celia's words, Simon was quietly calculating, and the woman next to him continued: "However, Simon, Borisov said that he could join the Progressive League as a statement."

Simon immediately shook his head: "No, doing so may cause the Kyiv authorities to rebound."

"I think so too," Celia smiled and nodded: "But, the boss doesn't have to worry too much. The Kiev authorities are now in a state of turmoil and cannot take care of our side."

"Others can't take care of it, but they still have to have the attitude they should have," Simon said. "We can't let the Kiev authorities be too embarrassed."

Celia nodded again and continued: "When it comes to Kiev, Pinchuk will come tomorrow. I have arranged it on the boss's schedule."

"Um."

"Also, hehe, it's still a matter of money. In 1994, Ukraine promised to dismantle nuclear weapons. The federal agreement promised to provide $175 million in special funds and $155 million in financial aid. Do the boss still remember it?"

"What's wrong?"

"Now Ukraine's nuclear weapons have been dismantled, and all the special funds of US$175 million have been paid. However, Washington has only given 10 million US dollars of economic aid until now. Kiev contacted me and hoped that I would like to help urge me to fulfill the subsequent aid."

Simon almost laughed: "Do you think Washington is still planning to cash out?"

Celia shook her head: "I'm powerless anyway."

Simon didn't say much, and could only sigh that Washington was really bad. If it were him, Ukraine would definitely not have lost the amount of money it should have given after it was ruined. 155 million US dollars is not much.

However, in Washington, about $155 million is also money.

Of course, I don’t give it if I can.

Moreover, Ukraine has no way to do it at all. If you collect debts here, just drag it on the other side. If you have the ability, you can hit me and use a nuclear bomb to attack.

I felt sorry for the Kiev authorities again, and Simon had no intention of helping.

With the influence of the Westeros system, if Simon comes forward in person, he will be able to help Kiev get the money back, but it is completely unnecessary because it is thankless.

Of course, it will definitely gain the favor of the Kiev authorities. However, Simon doesn't need much favor of the Kiev authorities at all now.

Such a mess country is unlikely to turn against Simon now. If you don’t see a military commander, you will be loyal to him.

The same sentence.

Ultimately, the fundamentals of social problems are economic problems.

Simon is the very rich one.

Celia said this and talked about other things. When she was about to arrive at the manor of BASF Lake Pan in the south of the city, she said another thing: "Boss, Tymoshenko came over quietly yesterday."

Simon frowned slightly: "How did she know I'm coming?"

"It's not difficult to guess," Celia said: "Recently, in order to welcome the boss, Rifny is on guard all over the city. She must have let people go here. She is such a smart woman, of course she can guess."

In order to ensure the safety of Simon's trip to Rifni, the Rovno Gang did create a big battle.

Celia told Simon in advance.

Simon was quite restrained in the past, but this time he did not object, because this was equivalent to a declaration that this land was named Westeros.

After four consecutive years of layout, Simon confirmed that the Westeros system's control over the Rovno State has reached a level that does not require too much concealment, so the people in this area should gradually get used to one thing.

Thinking of this, Simon asked again: "What's wrong with her?"

"Her company is not easy. If you want money, it's all."

When Simon heard Celia say this, he also felt that he was talking nonsense. With Ukraine's current state and a woman who completely lost the halo of the gas queen, he was repeatedly suppressed. The other party came over, because he was almost unable to support him.
