Chapter 978: Trapped Beast
Rwanda Vice President and Secretary of Defense Paul Kagame's official visit to the United States began on July 8, lasting three days. The visit of the Rwanda's actual powerhouse to Washington did not cause much response in the media. Instead, he suddenly left Washington on the last day and arrived on the west coast of the United States to visit the Dumei Manor in Simon Westeros, allowing a lot of media to follow up.
Paul Kagame was a guest at Dume Point Manor, mainly to represent the Rwandan people again expressing their gratitude to Simon Westeros for stopping the tragedy of the Rwandan massacre two years ago.
From the Woodfield Manor bombing to the Rwandan war, to the subsequent removal of the entire Glory Society family in Italy, Simon showed all the sharp edges that should be revealed in order to avoid certain covetousness to the greatest extent, including the intervention of these violent means in the 1994 midterm elections and the quietly completed "Damoric Rises Sword Plan".
After the sharpness is revealed, it is restrained.
Especially when this year is still the year of the US election, the Westeros system must remain low-key to avoid causing a rebound from all parties.
Therefore, Simon actually did not want to entertain Paul Kagame, an African politician at Dume Point Manor.
After all, this really reminds too many people of too many things.
However, if the hospitality is not received, there will also be some negative effects. First, it will cause speculation whether the Westeros system's efforts in Africa have completely failed? Other allies of the Westeros system may even be shaken. Weighing the pros and cons, they still arranged a luncheon.
Since you have decided, it will be lively.
By the way, a group of celebrity politicians from California were invited and media interviews were arranged.
Many times, the media and the public are always a bit strange in their focus, just like people don’t care about Paul Cagame’s meeting with the president and other senior Washington officials, and are very interested in the lunch menu when Simon Westero was entertaining the African politician.
Of course, others can see more from other levels.
You should know that when the Rwandan War ended two years ago, facing many people's concerns that the Westeros system might control Rwanda, Simon chose to withdraw in a very straightforward manner, as if he was really a Robin Hood who ignored gains and losses and only maintained human justice. Then, in two years, people gradually forgot what the Weifang Army had done in Rwanda, and some people also thought that the impact of the Westeros system on Rwanda had been minimized.
It was not until some time ago that the Westeros system attacked France with the name of the Rwandan government, which made the Chirac authorities feel bad that everyone reacted.
Many people responded to this.
For example, the Dos Santos authorities in Angola expelled the arms trading team of the son of former French President Mitterrand and completely turned to the Westeros system.
The line of vision was extremely high and far, and I looked down again.
It seems that before we know it, the powerful influence of the Westeros system has spread all over the world.
Needless to say, North America.
In addition, the Westeros system has created a very strong influence in Asia, Africa, and Europe, including China in Asia, Rwanda and Angola in Africa, Ukraine in Europe and even Russia, which is looming for some people. This seemingly unrelated move has begun to affect the entire chessboard pattern without realizing it.
Moscow.
Yeltsin only got a related report the morning after he was hosting a lunch at Dumei Point Manor.
After winning the election on July 3, Yeltsin was not very happy and could not even feel relieved because the Russian head of state's physical condition was already in danger.
Yeltsin has been suffering from increasingly severe coronary heart disease since two years ago, and the results of secret admissions to hospitals have been unsatisfactory. In addition, in the past six months, in order to run for the election, Yeltsin has to go on a continuous basis in Russia, which further deteriorated its physical condition and reached the point where it was difficult to maintain without surgery.
On July 3, in the public photo, Yeltsin personally went to the voting site to vote for himself, looking calm, but outside the public photo, he guarded an entire medical team nearby and initiated first aid to Yeltsin at any time.
The doctor's suggestion was to perform surgery immediately, but Yeltsin dared not take this risk.
Although the success rate of the surgery given by the Kegong medical team is above 80%, it is not 100%. Once an accident occurs, the victory of this election will have no meaning. Therefore, he must arrange more things as much as possible before he can get on the operating table. This will definitely not be completed in one or two days.
Moreover, after successfully obtaining re-election, the situation in Russia became even more messy.
At this moment, in the Kremlin's presidential office, Chubais Borisjevic, who has played a key role in Russia's economic reform in the past few years, was discussing the appointment of the new Russian government with Yeltsin, who was reading the information on the luncheon of yesterday's Dumei Point Manor.
Actually, I prefer to pass messages.
The Russian top leader, who later became known as the father of Russian privatization, currently has a more inclined role to the liaison link between the Kremlin and many Russian oligarchs.
Yeltsin has already found it difficult to judge whether the other party is still loyal to him.
Moreover, from Chubais' report, the oligarchs were simply impatient.
"Mr. President, Mr. President?"
Seeing Yeltsin's distraction, Chubais had to raise some voices to remind him, and some imperceptible impatient flashed across his face, as if he thought Yeltsin had drunk wine again regardless of the doctor's advice, and had not yet recovered from sobering.
Yeltsin raised his head from the information in front of him: "Well, what did you just say?"
Chubais reminded: "About Berezovsky's desire to become Prime Minister."
Yeltsin shook his head slightly before saying, "So, what do you think about this?"
"I don't think so," Chubais said: "And Berezovsky's request is too much. He has no experience in governing. If he puts the other party in the position of prime minister, it will only be a disaster for Russia."
"Okay, I'll think about it seriously."
Chubais was stunned and wanted to say something else. Yeltsin waved his hand: "I'm suddenly a little tired. You go back first, let's talk about this in the afternoon."
Chubais was a little unwilling to give up and continued: "In addition, Mr. President, Berezovsky is still a Jew, which is also an important reason why he is not suitable to become the Prime Minister or even the top leaders of the Kerber Palace."
Yeltsin waved his hand again: "You go back first."
Seeing that Yeltsin had lost his patience, Chubais did not continue and stood up and left the office silently.
When Chubais left, Yeltsin leaned on the back of the chair a little annoyed.
With the end of the election, Russian oligarchs such as Berezovsky and Potanin had no intention of restraining themselves and blatantly asked the Kerk Palace for various rewards. Even the people around him whom he once trusted, such as the one who had just left, had their own little thoughts.
Yeltsin actually understood what Chubais said just now, mainly because this subordinate had defected to the Potaning faction.
Also specifically mentioned the Jews.
Oh.
Speaking of which, there are not many of the major oligarchs who are not Jews, and Potanin is not Jewish. Yeltsin did not believe that Chubais was a nationalist, and it was nothing more than his own interests. After all, although Botanin was not a Jew, George Soros, the biggest financial owner behind the other side, is a very obvious Jewish person. Chubais has a very close relationship with the American financial oligarch in private.
The office door was knocked again, and Yeltsin's second daughter Tatiyana walked in and closed the door. Looking at her father sitting alone behind a large desk, Tatiyana's voice was very light: "Dad?"
Yeltsin finally had some smiles on his face, signaling his daughter to sit down, thinking for a while, and asked, "What is that person doing recently?"
Tatyana naturally knew who his father was talking about and replied: "He is re-crushing the Kremlin property list recently."
The Kremlin is often just a code name. The Kremlin property that Tatyana mentioned is just a summary. In addition to the palace located in Moscow, which represents the center of state power, it also includes a huge real estate property system related to the president in various parts of Russia and even abroad.
It is famous for high-level former Soviet Union construction of vacation villas everywhere, and many of the assets were taken over by the Russian authorities.
Yeltsin nodded, hesitated a little, but still did not ask his daughter to summon someone over.
Regarding the former deputy mayor of St. Petersburg, which Simon Westeros recommended to him, Yeltsin had almost completely broken up the other party's archives, but except for the initially arranged for the other party as deputy director of the Presidential Affairs Bureau, Yeltsin never showed any special treatment during this period, and even said he was a little cold.
He is still observing.
After all, this matter is too much involved. What if... a puppet of Simon Westeros will be built in the future. Even if someone's words conveyed by his daughter, once he sits in a certain position, he will never become a puppet of anyone. Yeltsin believes that this is the case, but what if?
Suddenly remembering something, Yeltsin asked: "Have you had any contact with Mikhail Friedman recently?"
After saying this, I found that since the election results were settled, others have begun to demand their own interests. Only Mikhail Friedman, the spokesperson of the Westeros system in Russia, had a few chats at the celebration dinner after the victory, and then they did not appear in his sight.
It seems that many people have forgotten it.
Tatyana was obviously very concerned about this matter, or in other words, she was still more concerned about a young man, nodding and said, "I had contacted him yesterday. Mikhail was discussing a telecommunications cooperation project with the local government."
"Um?"
Tatyana explained: "Alpha Group owns a telecommunications company called Viper Communications. In addition to domestic, this telecommunications company that mainly engages in mobile communications business also operates in other countries in Eastern Europe, and has developed very well."
Yeltsin nodded, and suddenly felt a strong disgust towards other oligarchs.
Those people only want to embezzle their own country's assets. In comparison, the spokesperson supported by Simon Westeros is expanding outward, and it is clear which one is higher or lower.
After thinking about it, Yeltsin asked again: "Have Mikhail ever had any appeals to the privatization of telecommunications investment joint-stock companies?"
When he had secretly contacted Simon Westero, Tatyana promised her father that the other party could receive such a meeting gift, but was rejected by Simon Westero.
Even though his daughter explained, Yeltsin still felt that it might be because Westeros is not optimistic about the results of this election. After all, this telecom privatization is a business that is so fat that it is so powerful that other oligarchs are fighting for it. Berezovsky and Potanin have even begun to fight for this.
Now, the Alpha Group, which Mikhail Friedman is in charge, is also conducting telecommunications business in Russia, and it is undoubtedly appropriate to hand over the asset to the other party.
Tatiyana shook her head.
Yeltsin was a little disbelief: "Really?"
Tatiyana also felt a little incredible and said, "I also talked to Mikhail about this, and he clearly refused because, well, he didn't get the authorization of that person."
Yeltsin thought for a while and said, "I remember Cersei Capital is helping a Chinese telecom company conduct an overseas IPO?"
Tatiyana also read the information and nodded, "Yes, this is a big deal, and it is expected to raise about $4 billion."
Yeltsin thought for a moment and asked his daughter: "Tania, do you think we can do the same operation and hand over the Telecom Investment Co., Ltd. to Cersei Capital for overseas IPO?"
At this time, Yeltsin felt the ultimate in his heart for the oligarchs who surrounded the Kerge Palace like wild dogs.
Simon Westeros doesn't want the fat meat of Russia Telecom Investment Co., Ltd., he prefers to give it to the other party. For those who want it very much, Yeltsin wants to make the other party feel happy.
When Tatiyana saw her father say this, her face showed a strange rosy look on her face, and she couldn't help but feel pity. She never knew the pressure brought to her father by those oligarchs who were simply too bullying. She got up and poured a glass of mineral water for her father. When Yeltsin drank a few sips of water, she calmed down and was about to speak, Yeltsin herself was already smiling and shook her head, "Forget it, don't mention this matter anymore, let them fight for it yourself."
On a whim, it is destined to be just a whim.
Even though he was already very weak at this time, Yeltsin's political wisdom did not disappear.
If Simon Westeros will accept this gift, it is okay for other oligarchs to face this reality, but in the face of the powerful strength of the Westeros system, it is very likely that they will still choose to default. However, if Simon Westeros doesn't want it and he won't give this piece of fat to other oligarchs, it would be like stabbing a hornet's nest.
Chapter completed!
