Chapter 1402 Can't Go Back

In the first Chechen war, Russia’s disastrous defeat was not due to how strong the Chechen armed forces were, nor was it that the Russian army was too weak.

Neither Russia nor Western countries want Russia to win this war.

Inside Russia, it is mainly the various opposition groups that hold back, and even many politicians and business oligarchs have colluded with Chechnya. The public opinion against this war is even more overwhelming. Back to my son's broken things.

As for the reasons, political struggles, commercial interests, interference by external forces, and so on.

Let's talk about external factors.

Even if the Soviet Union disintegrates, Russia's huge size still makes various European countries fearful, so it is natural to incline to further dismantle Russia. Chechnya is one of them. If Chechnya succeeds on its own, it is not impossible for Russia to be broken down into countless smaller countries from east to west. Once it takes shape, it will completely lose its threat to Europe.

The end result was Russia's humiliating defeat in the first Chechen war.

Simon promised to help solve the external interference that launched the next Chechen war. In fact, this war is more than half won, and the remaining half is for Russia to use the strong military foundation left by the former Soviet Union. Chechnya is nothing compared to that.

In fact, this is like many local wars after World War II.

If the various small countries where wars broke out lack backers, such as Iraq and Syria, the result will be destroyed by the US military. Let’s talk about North Korea and Vietnam, these are ‘goblins’ with backgrounds. As a result, the two protracted local wars, even the world’s number one superpower like the United States, ultimately failed.

The same goes for Chechnya.

In the first Chechen war, this little goblin with a backer, of course Russia couldn't beat it to death. The second time, Simon lobbied the West not to intervene, and the outcome can be imagined.

In the small office of the Kremlin.

As a veteran politician who has experienced officialdom, Yeltsin can easily think about these things clearly. Since Simon Westloken promised to remove obstacles other than the military, if Russia can’t run over Chechnya, then he himself has nothing to say .

We chatted a few more details. Seeing that the meeting was coming to an end, Yeltsin still couldn't hold back and said, "Simon, I have been paying attention to your 3G plan in private, and it can be seen from it that your personal pursuit has completely surpassed Us ordinary people, that's actually why I'm determined to follow your advice to push Vladimir to power, but I'm still curious, Simon, I believe that Russia doesn't have much worth trying for you, including your 3g plan, West Even if you don’t do this, I will cooperate with the many research institutions opened by the Luo system in Russia, because I understand that this is something that is beneficial to the future of mankind. But, well, I just want to know why Is it Vladimir?"

Simon didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "You should have read his file many times, right?"

Yeltsin nodded.

Simon smiled and said, "I've seen it too."

Yeltsin patiently made up his ears and ears.

Simon didn't go around too much, and continued: "Boris, frankly speaking, by now, I believe you should have no illusions about Western countries, right?"

Yeltsin hesitated a little, feeling that someone's position seemed to be in question again, but he quickly nodded: "In 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 their best to help us, At this point, Yeltsin smiled wryly, and then continued: "Now, I don't believe it."

"Not only that," Simon said: "If development follows the normal trajectory, and Russia's next president is still very mediocre, or even completely a puppet launched by the West, then Russia's ending will inevitably be split into many regions again." For a small country like Chechnya, all parties in Europe and the United States will be able to get a good night's sleep at that time."

Yeltsin couldn't help but twitched his mouth when he heard Simon speak so bluntly.

In fact, I noticed that the word "still" in someone's words is still "very mediocre". If someone else said that, Yeltsin would inevitably be sullen, but, with the identity of Simon Westeros here, he unconsciously Accept it. After all, looking at the messy situation in Russia at the moment, regardless of right or wrong, Yeltsin is very clear that he has indeed messed up everything.

Thinking of this, Yeltsin couldn't help it: "Simon, as an American, don't you want to see Russia continue to fall apart?"

Simon shook his head lightly: "Boris, I just have American citizenship, but in my current position, I am more inclined to regard myself as a 'westerosian', and the interests of the Westeros system are only here for me. First."

Yeltsin countered slightly: "Capitalists don't have their own motherland."

Simon didn't mind either, and smiled: "It can be said that, however, I am not an ordinary capitalist. I put aside my nationality restrictions, not to make more money, although my personal wealth has been increasing. But, seriously Speaking of which, I regard the entire planet we live on as my motherland, and the entire human race, in my eyes, is a community."

Yeltsin really wanted to refute again, "Some guy who regards human beings as a community just suggested that he start a war." After thinking about it, he still didn't speak.

Simon didn't care what Yeltsin thought. After all, even if what he said just now was completely sincere, it sounded a bit fake because it was too macroscopic, as if he could

People who have seen through the Western charity system understand that most of the rich set up charity funds for tax avoidance rather than charity. In Yeltsin's eyes, Simon's grand goals are probably more to cover up his other ambitions.

Such as using the 3G plan with a very large investment scale to realize asset inheritance.

This is something Yeltsin saw through very early on.

Taking a sip of the coffee in his hand, Simon continued: "Going back to your question just now, Boris, if you want to avoid the country's fragmentation, Russia needs a very capable and very pragmatic leader. Knowing how to do things, the character also needs a certain degree of tact, having an overall view instead of blindly being strong, all of these, the person I recommend to you is completely in line. In addition, this is a very loyal and reliable person, just like he uses himself Once you are in power, since you have been kind to him, he will try his best to protect the Yeltsin family. Of course, there must be an overall consideration of ensuring Russia’s stability.”

Yeltsin understood, and subconsciously asked: "Simon, 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's talk about privacy, I talked to Clinton in advance, if Russia falls apart and lacks containment, the result is very likely It is Europe moving toward unification and screwing together to become a competitor of the United States. This is the reason I persuaded Washington to bail out Russia and then give up interfering in Chechnya affairs. But, as far as I am concerned, preserving Russia, once the country becomes strong again, will also be the same in the future. It will become a strategic opponent of the United States, but this is very beneficial to the military-industrial complex of the United States. Therefore, even if someone sees this, they will still agree with my plan. Then, the most important thing, what the Westeros system can obtain is The national power of the United States is slowly depleting while constantly dealing with various external strategic competitors. Just now you said that capitalists have no motherland, but the problem is that my nationality is American, and it is not easy to change because it involves too much. What's more, I have too much wealth. In order to avoid being coveted, on the one hand, I don't want my motherland to focus too much on the country; threaten the safety of my personal property."

Yeltsin was speechless for a moment.

I suddenly felt inexplicably that the October Revolution initiated by Lenin might be right.

Um.

Think again about the oligarchs in Russia today.

Yeltsin immediately became firm.

It must be right.

It's a pity that everything can't go back, can't go back.

After bidding farewell to Yeltsin, in the rest of the afternoon, Simon went to the Solvay School on the Moscow side and a life science research institute established in cooperation with Moscow University.

Speaking of which, in the 3G plan, Russia has certain advantages in the fields of space and nuclear energy, but there are no bright spots in life sciences. It seems that Simon should set up two other cooperation projects.

However, the problem is that, on the one hand, space and nuclear energy research is too sensitive. Science has national boundaries, and scientists also have national boundaries. Sensitive areas are too deeply involved, and there may be some collusion with Russia in the future. On the other hand, regarding Russia’s nuclear energy With regard to space technology, through the continuous poaching of corners in recent years, the Simon that should be obtained has basically been obtained, and there is no need to do anything extra.

In comparison, it’s still the same sentence, no one wants to live longer, and the elite class at the top of the pyramid is more so. Therefore, for the life science research institutes set up by the Westeros system around the world, all aspects have given green light .

In the evening, there will be a party in Simon's private mansion on Silver Pine Island, west of the city.

It can be regarded as coming and going.

Yeltsin did not attend this time, but Yeltsin's two daughters were all present, and the other was the dignitaries from all walks of life in Moscow, but this time a certain person did not show up, mainly because Simon did not invite the other party, and the one who was not invited was also the Russian Prime Minister who had just assumed office. Primakov, this is also a statement from Simon.

It's not convenient to express your opinion beforehand, but it's only the last few steps, and Simon should also show his inclination.

Compared with the vain entertainment at the Kremlin reception at noon, Simon was able to discuss more practical matters with some people at this evening party.

Such as 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 the goal is well thought out, St. Petersburg.

There are also some military forces who hope to establish a relationship with the Central African region, which is already a mess. Of course, they are not official, but want to send some mercenaries to sell some weapons in private to make extra money. As for why the military doesn’t do it themselves, on the one hand, it’s acquiescing that the Central African region belongs to Simon’s territory; on the other hand, of course, it’s also mainly because Africa is too poor, so it needs to rely on the Westeros system to build it over the years. Arms trading platform.

For these things, Simon asked Celia who was accompanying him to write down, and said that he would give a reply later.

Those who can cooperate will cooperate, and those who cannot cooperate can be regarded as a network. No matter how high he is at this time, Simon will not relax the construction of his network, otherwise, he may become a lonely family one day, holding the Great Seal, but the power cannot go out of the palace, that would be sad.

After only staying in Moscow for a day and a night, Simon set off again the next day, flying to Rivni.

This weekend will be spent in Ukraine.

The mother and daughter of Shurshikina stayed in Russia. Yulia told Simon before that she planned to donate a sum of money to do some good deeds within her capacity in the country.

Simon leaves Moscow, news surrounding this trip to Russia

spread rapidly around the world.

Even under the requirements of the Westeros system, the news released by Russia is very limited, but, combined with the previous investment in the Russian telecommunications industry by Verizon, the core company of the Westeros system, coupled with the recent change in the attitude of the United States and the imf Even the rescue of Russia, and even some cooperation projects that broke out after Simon Westeros' trip to Moscow, everyone can understand that Simon Westeros is very optimistic about Russia's future performance.

Just like China did before.

After so many years, Simon Westeros’s judgment has not been wrong. In this case, betting on Russia may yield unexpected gains in the future. How much can you lose?

So, as the news spread rapidly, only this weekend, many government delegations and business delegations set off to Russia for research.

Now that Simon Westero has given an endorsement, it is indeed the best opportunity to buy Russia at the moment.

Only Simon himself knows that this time he might disappoint some people.

Even if Russia recovers in the future, it will still focus on heavy industries such as military industry and energy with high thresholds. These lucrative fields are not accessible to any player. As for other businesses, to be honest, they are still not so 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 wants to cut a piece of cake belonging to the Westeros system in Russia.

A huge piece of cake.

After all, Simon is a person who highly recommends that if you give something, you will get something in return. Even if you don't want anything, it will make someone in the future feel uneasy.

On the other hand, although there is no shortage of dissenting voices, they do not think that Simon can reverse the economic situation in Russia, but a new week is coming, when Simon departs for China on September 28, because of his previous trip to Moscow, from Asia At the beginning, on Monday, the global stock, bond and foreign exchange markets also rose.

Therefore, the "Westeros effect" that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people has even been mentioned again by some media.

This time it is a new definition.

However, many people understand that the crux of the matter still highlights the growing influence of Simon's personal prestige on the global economy.
