Chapter 1369: The Ultimate Form
In a mountainous and hilly area bordering the Ternopol Prefecture in the southern part of Rovno Prefecture, in less than half a year, the dense coniferous forest center was cleaned up and a brand new military base was built, and the Rivni Military and Security Resources Company (RMSR), the second Ukrainian private army, was stationed here.
It is still a staffing of 5,000 people.
This time, the most elite 5,000 people selected from tens of thousands of soldiers. However, compared with Ukraine's first private army, UMFS, the problem with RMSR is that most of the soldiers have never been on the battlefield, which is a problem.
Fortunately, it will be solved soon.
Because the federal government does not intend to interfere in Yugoslavia's regional affairs for the time being, it is impossible for the federal government to ignore it completely, so it once again adopted the model of proxy war. Several private troops under the Westeros system have been increasing cooperation with the US authorities.
Not only that, the war in Africa, which had just been quiet for a few years, also reopened.
After obtaining the approval of all parties, Rwanda and Uganda, Kenya and several East African countries have recently officially launched an attack on the DRC. In order to ensure the interests of Western countries, private mercenaries will also have a lot of room for play in the melee in the next few years.
In fact, this war in Africa was largely affected by the gradual spread of the Asian financial crisis across the world last year. Just like after the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, Africa, which had not been calm for many years, also launched various riots.
At the G8 summit just passed, the G8 statement expressed righteously that it was to promote global integration to create welfare for developing countries. The fact is that globalization is only more convenient for Western strong economies to harvest other weak countries. The benefits are definitely not only from the United States, which has the hegemony of the US dollar. They are actually the same, and the difference is only a few.
In short, Simon certainly could not raise 5,000 people in vain. After half a year of reorganization and training, this private army will soon be pulled out for actual combat.
Simon arrived at the base in the afternoon and spent two hours walking aside in detail across the base. Finally, he came to the largest training ground in the base. There were 5,000 people in line and waiting.
Simon, wearing camouflage, glanced at the crowd below and said slowly: "Maybe, a few of you will still be a little confused until now. What are you now? Who are you serving and who are you protecting?"
When Simon said this, most of the soldiers below the audience still looked cold and solemn, but some people showed obvious changes in their expressions.
Vasily Borisov, commander of the Ukrainian Western Operations Command who followed Simon on the podium, was surprised at first when Simon said this, because if Simon said this, it would be very bad if he didn't come back. However, he immediately remembered the process of being convinced by this young man in just a few words, and he was soon relieved.
On stage.
After Simon finished speaking, he paused for a moment and continued: "Humans are a group-based creature. The reason why our ancestors were able to overcome the many obstacles brought to us by nature in the past tens of millions of years has come to this day. The key is that this group nature, even if a single human individual, cannot do anything."
"Some people will wonder, why should I say this?"
“It’s very simple.”
"I'm explaining the problem just now, the confusions that may be in your mind."
"Now, you are working for me, and there is nothing to avoid in this matter, because from your joining RMSR, your salary, the benefits you enjoy, and the better social treatment your family receives as family members of the Furniture Army, are provided by me."
“However, you are not just working for me.”
"I just said that no matter how outstanding a person is, it is impossible to accomplish everything. Therefore, I need your help. From the moment you joined RMSR, you have already belonged to a brand new group. I named this group Westerosian, Westerosian. Yes, this is based on my personal surname, but I have this qualification. At the same time, your ability to be selected also means that you are excellent enough. In my personal philosophy, only those who are excellent enough can be qualified to become Westerosian."
"What I can promise is that as a Westeros, I will give you, your family, more generous than others around you, but at the same time, you must also give your loyalty, your faith, and when necessary, life."
"That's right, including life."
"Because you are soldiers."
"In the traditional concept, the education you receive is the duty of the soldiers to defend their country. What you want to protect is actually a collective. Similarly, here, you also need to fight for the interests of the Westernosian collective, because in this group, there is not only me, but you, and your family. You must fight for me, because I have given you all this, and at the same time, you are also fighting for yourself, because if you want to protect everything you have obtained, you must fulfill your duties as soldiers."
"Now, tell me, are you willing to fight for all this?"
Offstage.
There was only a very short pause, followed by a unified and firm roar of 5,000 people: "I'm willing!!!"
Deafening.
Until he boarded the Mi-26 heavy helicopter back to downtown Rifni with Simon, Vasily Borisov was still shocked by the scene on the training ground.
In fact, since the establishment of RMSR was confirmed at the beginning of the year, the team here has been brainwashing the recruited soldiers. However, as Simon said when he first came to the stage, even if he accepted the change of identity, many soldiers were still confused in their mentality. Putting aside everything that had been indoctrinated and becoming a private soldier, it was almost inevitable that they would be confused about why they fought for whom.
Simon's words just now were very straightforward, but they also gave the 5,000 people on the training ground a very clear answer.
To be honest, Vasily Borisov envied an answer.
Even as a war zone commander, he never dared to have the idea of letting his soldiers fight for him.
Simon Westeros said it so frankly.
As for the sake of the collective and even for themselves, this is more of a coincidence.
The problem is that it is obvious that the 5,000 soldiers on the training ground did not feel disgusted by this, but instead took it for granted by Westeros indoctrination.
Perhaps, this can only be regarded as the reason why humans are born with the nature of submitting to the strong.
Simon Westeros, no matter from any aspect, is undoubtedly the strongest person in the world right now.
Two Mi-24 armed helicopters guarded Simon's Mi-26 on the island soon arrived at a tarmac on the bank of BASF Lake in the south of Rifni. Everyone got off the plane and said goodbye to Vasily Borisov. Simon came on to greet his black Mercedes-Benz sedan.
This place is only a few hundred meters away from Simon's mansion on the shore of Lake BASF, and I soon returned to my residence.
Eve Bessonoskova and several maids came out in advance, obviously because they saw the helicopter formation landing not far away.
Simon set out from here today and flew to the UFMS base 80 kilometers north of Rifny in northern Rovno Prefecture, and returned in the afternoon and rushed to the RMSR base 35 kilometers south of Rifny. The flight distance was more than 200 kilometers, not to mention the specific schedule. Even if Simon is energetic enough, he will inevitably be exhausted at this time.
Therefore, when you return to your residence here, the first thing you do is to come to the luxurious underground swimming pool below the villa and take a comfortable hot bath.
Of course it's still very erotic.
But Simon is still addicted to abstinence and still does nothing.
It is very long in Ukraine in summer, but after taking a bath and having dinner, it is still dark outdoors.
Still no free time.
In the evening, it was a small cocktail party held by Sergei Komorov in his mansion. Fortunately, Komorov's mansion is also around the BASF Lake, and the distance is not far.
Simon arrived and the cocktail party here had been around for some time.
In addition to Simon, there were two other important guests at the reception, Victor Pinchuk, son-in-law of Ukrainian President Leon Kuchima, and Victor Yushenko, president of the Ukrainian State Bank.
Compared to Yeltsin's desire to send his daughter to meet him but he was unable to get it. In Ukraine, Simon did not refuse people from close to the Kiev authorities. The reason why the two appeared here was the same as Yeltsin, who hoped that Simon could take action and stabilize Ukraine's domestic economy.
In fact, compared to Russia's crumbling, the situation on Ukraine is not too bad because of the Westeros system betting heavily in Rovno Prefecture.
The only problem is that Simon put most of the resources invested in Ukraine in Rovno Prefecture, and at most some surrounding prefectures and counties can get some soup. As a result, capital giants such as Soros only put the funds transferred to Ukraine in Rovno. As a result, they died of drought and flooded... Well, they were not flooded at all, and they were so moisturized.
Therefore, the purpose of Pingchuk's visit this time was very simple, which was to hope that Simon could tilt certain resources towards other parts of Ukraine. At the very least, he would always get some benefits for Kiev, the capital.
Simon agreed to meet with Pinchuk through this cocktail party at Komorov's house, but he had already made up his mind, otherwise he would not show up.
This is also something that was agreed upon in advance.
The focus of the Westeros system in Ukraine is definitely the Rovno Oblast, and this will not change at least in the next ten years. However, as the foundation here becomes more and more stable, it is actually necessary to release some resources slightly.
This is the reason why it has gradually cooperated with several prefectures and counties in the border areas of Rovno Prefecture.
The same is true this time.
Simon had already agreed on a plan with the team of the Rovno Gang in advance, mainly to build the relevant supporting industrial chains of the Rivni OEM industry in some important Ukrainian cities such as Kiev.
For example, in the current electronic product factories with price tags in Rifny, Nokia's mobile phones, Tinkobaier's iPlayer, iRec, etc. According to the plan, around 2000, Simon plans to achieve an annual output of 100 million units. Even if it is a total of 100 million units for mobile phones, digital players, digital cameras and other products, it is a very terrifying number.
Additional may be added in the future.
With Ukraine's technological development level, core components such as mobile phone chips, digital camera lenses, etc., it is definitely not possible to make it. However, relatively peripheral packaging boxes, product shells, and even some accessories with low technical content are directly produced in Ukraine, which is definitely more cost-effective than imported.
In fact, just like in China later, an Apple led countless supporting manufacturers and millions of jobs.
In Ukraine, Simon hopes to achieve this goal in the next few years.
China's economic scale is too large, so even if it drives millions of jobs and countless supporting manufacturers, Apple still does not play a decisive role. However, in Ukraine, especially Ukraine, which is poor and politically turbulent, if Nokia, Tinkobaier and other manufacturers in the Westeros system control millions of jobs and a series of supporting industrial chains, it will basically be equivalent to controlling the country.
This is the ultimate form of economic penetration.
Victor Pinchuk really didn't expect that Rifni's trip would be so smooth. Even if the promise given by Simon will not be effective in the short term, the problem itself is that as long as Simon gives a promise, it is equivalent to a super good thing for Ukraine.
Whether it was the initial Southeast Asia or the current Eastern Europe, one of the major reasons for the outbreak of the financial crisis was panic. Capital lost confidence in the regional economy and fled one after another, which inevitably led to a trampling and mess.
Now that Simon Westeros is optimistic about a country's economy, other capitals naturally have no need to panic.
When the sky falls, it must be a tall one.
At the Komorov family's cocktail party, Simon and Pingchuk discussed and decided on the idea, there was basically nothing else.
Regarding Victor Yushenko who came with him this time, he just chatted casually for a few words, which seemed unfamiliar to him.
In fact, of course not.
The next morning, while Simon was sitting in the shade of the BASF Lake for breakfast, Yushenko appeared again, and there was also Tymoshenko who came over privately. After receiving Simon's funds, a woman stabilized her business and was considering taking advantage of the bottom-up opportunity when the Ukrainian economy bottomed out.
This woman could put the shelf on the carpet next to Simon's big bed last night, so Simon no longer refused to raise it.
This breakfast was a personal reminder of the follow-up strategies of the two who had already cooperated tacitly.
As expected, as the governor of Ukraine's central bank and with immediate support from the United States, Yushenko successfully stabilizes Ukraine's economy this year, he will have the hope of becoming prime minister next year after Kuchima's re-election, and even going further.
But Simon asked the other party not to be too anxious.
The same goes for a certain woman.
Aspiring for quick success and instant benefits actually means that the foundation is destined to be shallow and cannot withstand any storms.
Therefore, Simon asked Yushenko to take the position of vice prime minister next year, keep a low profile, and accumulate strength.
Chapter completed!
