Chapter 1402: I can't go back
www.xbiquge.so
In the First Chechen War, Russia's crushing defeat was not because of how strong the Chechen armed forces were, nor because the Russian army was too weak. In the end, it was still too many people who pulled their backs.
Neither in Russia nor in the West want Russia to win this war.
Within Russia, there are mainly various opposition parties, and even many politicians and business oligarchs colluded with Chechnya. The public opinion's opposition to this war is even more rebellious, and it has created destructive things such as calling on Russian mothers to go to the front line to find their son.
As for the reasons, political struggles, commercial interests, and external interference, there are many.
Let’s talk about external factors.
Even if the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia's huge size still made especially European countries afraid, so it naturally tended to further dismantle Russia. Chechnya is one of the links. If Chechnya succeeded in doing its own thing, it would be impossible for Russia to decompose from east to west into countless smaller countries. Once it was formed, it would completely lose its threat to Europe.
The final result was Russia's humiliating defeat in the First Chechnya War.
Simon promised to help resolve the external interference of launching the next Chechen war. This war was actually equivalent to half of the victory, and the remaining half was Russia's slightest use of the strong military foundation left by the former Soviet Union. In comparison, Chechen is really not worth mentioning.
In fact, this is like many local wars after World War II.
If the various small countries that broke out in war lacked backstages, such as Iraq and Syria, they would be destroyed by the US military. Besides, North Korea and Vietnam are "gods" with backstages. As a result, two protracted local wars, even the world's number one superpower like the United States, will eventually return in a defeat.
The same is true for Chechnya.
In the First Chechen War, this was a little goblin with a backstage, and of course Russia could not kill him. The second time, Simon lobbying the West to not intervene, the ending can be imagined.
Inside the small office of Kgong Palace.
As a veteran politician who has experienced the officialdom, Yeltsin certainly could easily think of these things. Since Simon Westlocken promised to clear out the obstacles outside the military, if Russia could not run over Chechnya, he felt that he had nothing to say.
After chatting a few more details, seeing that the meeting was about to end, Yeltsin could not help it and said, "Simon, I have been paying attention to your 3G plan in private. From this, we can see that your personal pursuit has completely surpassed us ordinary people. This is actually the reason why I am determined to follow your suggestions to push Vladimir to the top. However, I am still curious, Simon, I believe that Russia does not have much worthy of your attempts, including your 3G plan and many research institutions in the Westeros system opened in Russia. Even if you don't do these, I will cooperate because I understand that this is a good thing for the entire future of mankind. But, okay, I just want to know why Vladimir?"
Simon did not answer directly, but asked back: "You should have read his file many times, right?"
Yeltsin nodded.
Simon smiled and said, "I have seen it, too."
Yeltsin patiently did some makeup.
Simon did not go too far, and continued: "Boris, to be honest, at this point, I believe you should have no fantasies about the Western countries, right?"
Yeltsin hesitated a little, feeling that someone's position seemed to have problems again, but he nodded quickly: "At the beginning, I always thought that countries such as the United States, Germany and France should be happy to see Russia's democratization and privatization, and try to help us." At this point, Yeltsin smiled bitterly before continuing: "Now, I don't believe it anymore."
"Not only that," Simon said: "If the next president of Russia is still very mediocre in the afternoon on the normal trajectory, and even a puppet introduced by the West, then Russia's ending will inevitably be to split into many regional small countries again, just like Chechnya, by then, all parties in Europe and the United States will be able to have a good sleep."
Yeltsin couldn't help but twitch when he heard Simon say so bluntly.
In fact, he noticed that the 'still' word in someone's words was still 'very mediocre'. If someone else said this, Yeltsin would inevitably be angry, but Simon Westeros was here and he accepted it unknowingly. After all, looking at the current mess in Russia, putting aside right and wrong, Yeltsin knew very well that he had really messed up everything.
Thinking of this, Yeltsin couldn't help it: "Simon, as an American, don't you want to see Russia continue to be divided?"
Simon shook his head gently: "Boris, I only have American nationality, but with my current position, I prefer to put one of my 'Westerosian's' interests in the Westerosian system first."
Yeltsin counterattacked slightly: "Capitalists do not have their own motherland."
Simon didn't mind and smiled: "It can be said that, however, I am not an ordinary capitalist. Putting aside my nationality restrictions, it is not to make more money. Although my personal wealth has been increasing. But seriously, I regard the planet we are in as my motherland, and in my eyes the entire human race, the entire human race, is a community."
Yeltsin wanted to refute again, "A guy who treats mankind as a community just suggested that he provoke a war." He still didn't say anything.
Simon didn't care what Yeltsin thought. After all, even if what he said just now was completely sincere, it sounded a bit fake and empty because it was too macro. Just as people who could see through the Western charity system understood that most of the rich set up charity funds for tax avoidance rather than charity. In Yeltsin's eyes, Simon's grand goals were probably more to conceal his other ambitions.
For example, using 3G plans with a very large investment scale to achieve asset inheritance.
This is something Yeltsin saw through very early on.
After taking a sip of the coffee in your hand, Simon continued: "Back to your question just now, Boris, if you want to avoid the country being broken apart, Russia needs a strong and very pragmatic leader. This person must be very good at doing things, and his personality needs to be smooth and have a sense of the overall situation, rather than being blindly strong. All of this, the person I recommend to you is fully in line with. In addition, this is still a very loyal and reliable person, just like he uses his power to send his mentor who is trapped in a lawsuit abroad. Once he gets to power, since you have done good deeds to him, he will also try his best to protect the Yeltsin family. Of course, there must be a consideration of ensuring the overall stability of Russia."
Yeltsin understood and subconsciously asked: "Simon, then what can you get?"
Simon took another sip of the coffee in his hand and then said, "What I want is a global strategic balance. Oh, let me talk about privacy. I talked to Clinton in advance. If Russia is divided and lacks restraint, it is likely that Europe will move towards unification and become a competitor of the United States. This is the reason for me to persuade Washington to rescue Russia and even give up interfering in Chechen affairs next. But personally, to preserve Russia, once this country becomes stronger again, it will also become a strategic rival of the United States in the future, but this is very beneficial to the US military industry group. Therefore, even if someone sees this,
I will still agree with my plan. Then, the most important thing is that what the Westeros system can obtain is that the US national strength is slowly consumed while constantly responding to various external strategic competitors. You just said that capitalists do not have a motherland, but the problem is that my nationality is the United States, and it is not easy to change because it involves too much. In addition, I have too much wealth. In order to avoid being coveted, on the one hand, I don’t want my motherland to look too much at home, and on the other hand, I don’t want the motherland’s national strength to be too strong, so strong that it threatens the security of my personal wealth.”
Yeltsin was speechless for a moment.
I suddenly felt that the October Revolution initiated by Lenin was probably right.
Um.
Think about the current oligarchs in Russia.
Yeltsin immediately became firm.
It's definitely right.
Unfortunately, I can't go back to everything, I can't go back.
After saying goodbye to Yeltsin, Simon went to the Solvie School in Moscow and a life science institute founded in cooperation with Moscow University.
Speaking of which, in the 3G plan, Russia has certain advantages in the fields of space and nuclear energy, while life science has no highlights. Simon seems to have set up two other cooperation projects.
However, the problem is that on the one hand, space and nuclear energy research are too sensitive, science has boundaries, and scientists have boundaries. If sensitive areas are too deeply involved, it may be a Russian gate in the future. On the other hand, Russia's nuclear energy and space technology have been poached in recent years, and Simon has basically been obtained, and there is no need to do anything else.
In comparison, the same thing is true. No one doesn’t want to live longer. The more elite the top of the pyramid, the more this is. Therefore, the life science institutes set up by the Westeros system around the world have been green all the way.
In the evening, it was a party in Simon's private mansion on Yinsonglin Island in the west of the city.
It's considered to be coming and going.
Yeltsin did not attend this time, but Yeltsin's two daughters were all present, and there were also the powerful people from all walks of life in Moscow's political and business circles. However, this time someone did not appear, mainly because Simon did not invite the other party, and the other was not invited, Primakov, who had just served as Russian Prime Minister, was also considered a statement by Simon.
It is not convenient to express your opinion in advance, but there are only a few steps away from the next, and Simon should show his tendency.
Compared to the Xuyi social engagement at the Kegong Reception Party at noon, Simon could discuss more practical matters with some people at this evening party.
Further cooperation in the field of telecommunications and energy.
For example, Yeltsin's second daughter suddenly proposed the idea of setting up a special economic zone in Russia like Rivny, and all the goals were well planned, St. Petersburg.
There are also some military forces who hope to establish relations with the Central African region, which has become a fuss. Of course, it is not the official, but to send some mercenaries to sell some weapons in private to earn extra money. As for why the military does not do it by itself, on the one hand, it is to acknowledge that the Central African region belongs to Simon's territory, and on the other hand, of course it is also the main one. It is because Africa is too poor, so it also needs to use the arms trading platform built by the Westeros system over the years.
Simon asked Celia, who was accompanying the social event to record these things, and said that she would give a reply later.
If you can cooperate, cooperate if you can, and if you can't cooperate, you can also be considered as a connection. Even if you are high-ranking at this time, Simon will not relax the construction of network connections. Otherwise, one day, he might become a lonely man, holding the seal but not being able to leave the palace gate, which is sad.
He only stayed in Moscow for one day and one night, and Simon set off again the next day and flew to Rifny.
This weekend will be spent in Ukraine.
Shurhkina and his daughter stayed in Russia. Yulia had previously told Simon that she planned to spend some money to do some kindness in China.
As Simon left Moscow, news about this trip to Russia was also spreading rapidly around the world.
Even under the requirements of the Westeros system, the news released by Russia is very limited. However, combined with the previous investments of Verizon, a core company in the Westeros system, the recent change in the US attitude and the IMF's even rescue of Russia, and even some cooperation projects that broke out after this trip to Moscow, everyone can understand that Simon Westero is very optimistic about Russia's future performance.
Just like before to China.
Over the years, Simon Westero's judgment has not been missed. If that is the case, if you bet on Russia, you may have unexpected gains in the future. If not, how much can you lose with the Westeros system?
So, as the news spread quickly, only this weekend, many government delegations and corporate inspection teams set off to Russia for investigation.
Since Simon Westeros has given the endorsement, it is indeed the best opportunity to buy Russia at the moment.
Only Simon himself knows that he may disappoint some people this time.
Even if Russia recovers in the future, it will still focus on heavy industries such as military industry and energy, which have high thresholds. These lucrative areas are not accessible to any player. As for other businesses, it is still not easy to do.
Of course, since the situation is basically determined to develop in a certain direction, Simon will not be too restrained in the future, and he still has to cut a cake belonging to the Westeros system in Russia.
A big piece of cake.
After all, Simon highly recommends a person who has to pay back if he has done his best. Even if he wants nothing, it will make someone in the future uneasy.
On the other hand, although there are no shortage of dissent, and it is not believed that Simon can reverse the economic situation in Russia, the new week comes. When Simon set off for China on September 28, because his previous trip to Moscow started in Asia, the global stock, bond and foreign exchange market also rose on Monday.
Therefore, some media have even once again mentioned the "Westero effect" that has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
This time it is a completely new definition.
