Chapter 978: Trapped Beast
Rwandan Vice President and Defense Minister Paul Kagame's official visit to the United States began on July 8 and lasted for three days. The visit of the Rwandan de facto controller to Washington did not cause much repercussions in the media. On the last day, he left Washington abruptly and arrived on the west coast of the United States to be a guest at Simon Westeros’s Dumay Point Manor, which made various online and offline media platforms lively to follow up.
Paul Kagame's visit to Doumey Point is mainly to express his gratitude to Simon Westero on behalf of the Rwandan people for stopping the tragic massacre in Rwanda two years ago.
From the Woodfield Manor bombing to intervening in the Rwanda war, to the subsequent removal of an entire Gloria family in Italy, Simon has shown all of his sharpness in order to avoid some coveted covets to the greatest extent possible, including these violent methods. His involvement in the 1994 midterm elections and the quietly completed 'Project Sword of Damocles'.
Especially when this year is still an election year in the United States, what the Westeros system needs to do is to restrain its edge and avoid causing a backlash from all parties.
So Simon didn't actually want to host Paul Kagame, an African politician, at the Dumay Point estate.
After all, this really reminds too many people of too many things.
However, if it is not entertained, it will also have some negative effects. First, it will lead to speculation, whether the efforts of the Westeros system in Africa have completely failed? Other allies in the Westeros system may even be shaken by this, weighing the pros and cons, but arranged a luncheon anyway.
Since it is decided, it will be lively.
So by the way, a group of famous California politicians were invited, and media interviews were also arranged.
A lot of times, the media and public attention is always a little weird, like people don't care about Paul Kagame's meeting with the president and other high-level Washington leaders, about Simon Westero's lunch menu when he entertains the African politician But very interested.
Of course, others see more on other levels.
You know, the Rwanda war ended two years ago. Facing many people's concerns that the Westeros system might invade Rwanda, Simon chose to withdraw quite simply and neatly. . Then, in two years, people even gradually forgot what the Uyghur private army had done in Rwanda, and some people thought that the influence of the Westeros system on Rwanda had disappeared.
It was not until some time ago that the Westeros system attacked France in the name of the Rwandan government, and the Chirac authorities were disgraced, and everyone reacted.
Many people also responded to this.
For example, the Dos Santos authorities in Angola expelled the arms-trading team of the son of former French President Mitterrand, completely leading the Westeros system.
The line of sight is extremely pulled up and far away, overlooking again.
It seems that without knowing it, the powerful influence of the Westeros system has spread all over the world.
Not to mention North America.
In addition, the Westeros system has created quite a strong influence in Asia, Africa, Europe, China in Asia, Rwanda and Angola in Africa, Ukraine in Europe and even looming Russia for some people. This seemingly unrelated move, unknowingly, has begun to affect the entire chessboard pattern.
Moscow.
Yeltsin received a report the morning after the luncheon.
After winning the election on July 3 and successfully being re-elected as Russian president, Yeltsin did not feel much joy in his heart, not even a relief, because the physical condition of the Russian head of state was already in jeopardy.
In fact, Yeltsin has been suffering from more and more serious coronary heart disease since two years ago. In addition, in the past six months, Yeltsin had to run around Russia to canvass votes for the campaign, which further deteriorated his physical condition to the point where it was difficult to maintain without surgery.
Even on the polling day on July 3, in the public photo, Yeltsin went to the polling place to vote for himself, with a calm look, but in addition to the public photo, it was the entire medical team who guarded the nearest neighbor, and launched an attack on Yeltsin at any time. first aid.
The doctor's suggestion was to operate immediately, but Yeltsin dared not take this risk.
Although the success rate of surgery given by the Kremlin medical team is above 80%, it is not 100% after all. Once an accident occurs, there will be no objection to winning the election. Therefore, he must arrange as many things as possible before he can Getting on the operating table is definitely not something that can be done in a day or two.
Moreover, the situation is like a mess.
At this very moment, in the Presidential Office of the Kremlin, Chubais Borisyevich, who has played a key role in Russia's economic reform in the past few years, and was the head of the presidential campaign team, is reviewing yesterday's Doumey Cape Manor with his hands. Yeltsin of Luncheon Profile discusses high-level appointments in the new Russian government.
The current role of the Russian high-ranking who was later dubbed the father of Russia's privatization leans more towards the ties between the Kremlin and Russia's many oligarchs.
Yeltsin even had a hard time judging whether the other party was still loyal to him.
Moreover, from Chubais' report, the oligarchs couldn't wait.
"Mr. President, Mr. President?"
Aware of Yeltsin's distraction, Chubais had to raise his voice to remind him, and his face flashed some impatience, as if he thought that Yeltsin had drank again despite the doctor's orders, and he had not regained consciousness at this time.
Yeltsin looked up from the document in front of him: "Well, what did you just say?"
Chubai
"It's about Berezovsky's desire to be prime minister," he reminded.
Yeltsin shook his head slightly before saying, "So, what do you think about this?"
"I don't think it's right," Chubais said. "Also, Berezovsky's request is too much. He has no governing experience at all. If the other party is placed as prime minister, it will only be Russia's. disaster."
"Okay, I'll seriously consider it."
Chubais was stunned for a moment, what more to say, Yeltsin has already waved his hand: "I'm suddenly a little tired, you go back first, this matter will be discussed in the afternoon."
Chubais was obviously a little unwilling, and said: "In addition, Berezovsky, Mr. President, he is still a Jew, which is also an important reason why he is not suitable to be the prime minister or even the top of the Kremlin."
Yeltsin finally showed some impatience: "You go back first."
Seeing Yeltsin losing patience, Chubais didn't continue, got up and left the office silently.
When Chubais left, Yeltsin leaned back in his chair irritably.
With the end of the general election, the Russian oligarchs such as Berezovsky and Potanin have no intention of restraining at all, and blatantly and impatiently demanded various rewards from the Kremlin. Even the people around him that he once trusted, such as the one who just left, also gave birth to his own thoughts.
What Chubais just said, Yeltsin actually understood that this subordinate was actually Potanin.
There is also a specific reference to the Jews.
Ah.
Speaking of which, among the major oligarchs, there are not many who are not Jewish, and Potanin is precisely not Jewish. Yeltsin did not believe that Chubais was a nationalist, nothing more than his own interests. After all, the other party had a very close relationship with the American financial oligarch Soros in private.
Wasn't George Soros Jewish?
The office door was pushed open again, Yeltsin's second daughter Tatyana walked in, let go and closed the door, looking at her father sitting alone behind the large desk, Tatyana's voice was very soft: "Dad?"
Yeltsin finally showed some smiles on his face, motioned his daughter to sit down, thought about it, and suddenly asked, "What is that person doing recently?"
Tatyana naturally knew who her father was talking about, and replied, "He's been reorganizing the Kremlin's assets recently."
The Kremlin, in many cases, is actually just a code name. The assets of the Kremlin mentioned by Tatyana are only a generalization. In addition to the palace in Moscow, which represents the center of state power, it also includes a huge number of presidents related to Russia and even abroad. real estate system.
High-rises in the former Soviet Union were notorious for building holiday villas everywhere, and many assets were inherited by Russian authorities.
Yeltsin nodded, hesitated a little, and still didn't let his daughter call someone over.
Regarding the former deputy mayor of St. Petersburg recommended by Simon Westeros, Yeltsin has almost smashed the other party's file and resume in private, but in addition to initially arranging the position of deputy director of the Presidential Affairs Bureau for the other party, this For a period of time, Yeltsin never showed any special treatment, and even said that he was a little cold.
He is still watching.
After all, this matter is too involved, in case... In the future, a puppet of Simon Westero will be cultivated. Even according to someone's words conveyed by her daughter, once she sits in a certain position, it is impossible to become any Man's puppet, but what if?
Yeltsin suddenly remembered one more thing: "Have you been in contact with Mikhail Friedman recently?"
After saying this, it was discovered that among the seven existing oligarchs in Russia, since the election results were settled, everyone else began to seek their own interests. Only the spokesperson of the Westeros system in Russia, Mikhail F. Reedman, except for a few chats at the post-election celebratory dinner, was no longer on his radar.
It seems to be forgotten by a lot of people.
Tatyana is obviously very concerned about this matter, or, in the final analysis, she is more concerned about a young man, nodded and said, "I had contact yesterday, Mikhail is in Estonia, discussing a telecommunications cooperation project with the local area. ."
"Um?"
Tatyana explained: "Alfa Group owns a mobile communications company that operates in other countries in Eastern Europe besides Russia, and it is doing very well."
Yeltsin nodded, suddenly resenting the other oligarchs.
Those people only want to embezzle the assets of their own country. In contrast, the spokesperson supported by Simon Westeros is choosing to expand outward. Perhaps this kind of outward expansion is insignificant. After all, Estonia is a place the size of a palm. , However, it is still much stronger than those worms who dig the corners of the country.
After thinking for a while, Yeltsin asked again: "Has Mikhail made a request for the privatization of the State Telecom Holding Company?"
At the beginning of secret contact with Simon Westeros, Tatyana promised the other party to receive such a gift, but Simon Westeros refused.
Even though his daughter had explained it, Yeltsin still felt that it might be because Westeros was not very optimistic about the result of this election. After all, the privatization of telecommunications assets was a lucrative business, and other oligarchs were slightly more powerful. They are all struggling, and the two oligarchs Berezovsky and Potanin have even begun to fight for this.
Now, it happens that the Alpha Group, which is in charge of Mikhail Friedman, has also developed a telecommunications business in Russia.
Couldn't be more appropriate.
Tatyana shook her head.
Yeltsin didn't believe it: "Really?"
Tatyana also felt a little incredible, saying: "I also talked to Mikhail about this, and he clearly refused because, um, he didn't get that person's authorization."
Yeltsin thought for a while and said, "I remember that Cersei Capital under the Westeros system is helping Chinese telecom companies conduct overseas IPO operations?"
Tatyana also read the information and nodded: "Yes, the scale of this overseas listing is about twice that of National Telecom Holdings, and it is expected to raise about 4 billion US dollars."
Yeltsin pondered for a moment and asked his daughter, "Tania, you say, can we do the same thing and hand over State Telecom Holding to Cersei Capital for an overseas IPO?"
At this time, Yeltsin had already felt the extreme in his heart towards the oligarchs who surrounded the Kremlin like wild dogs.
Simon Westeros doesn't want the fat of the State Telecom Holding Company. Instead, he prefers to give it to the other party. For those who want it very much, Yeltsin wants to make the other party rejoice.
When Tatyana saw her father's words, her face showed a little ruddy, and she felt a little pity in her heart. She got up and poured a glass of mineral water for her father and handed it over. After Yeltsin took a few sips of water, she calmed down and was about to speak. , Yeltsin himself shook his head with a wry smile: "Forget it, don't mention it again, let them fight for themselves."
A whim, destined to be just a whim.
Yeltsin's political wisdom had not disappeared, even though he was already very weak.
If Simon Westeros has no problem accepting this gift, other oligarchs may be resentful of him when they know the news, but in the face of such a powerful strength as the Westeros system, they will most likely choose to acquiesce. However, if Simon Westeros doesn't want it, and he doesn't give this piece of fat to other oligarchs, it would be tantamount to poking a hornet's nest.
