There is a lyric: I didn't have the slightest defense, I didn't have a trace of concern, and you appeared in my world like this.

This lyric just alluded to Nikolavich and Mehta's mood at this time, because they never imagined that Kasia would bring such a piece of news, but this news brought them only surprise but not joy.

"Old man, it's not April Fool's Day, and this joke isn't funny at all!" Nikolavich said to Kasia.

Kasia was startled by Nikolavich's solemn tone, but he still said: "Mr. President, I'm not kidding, just now the Ministry of Internal Affairs went to the Swiss Bank to withdraw cash, and it was a message from the staff of the Swiss Bank that there was no money in our account. ”

"Where did the money go? Mr. Cassia, your report was that you personally handed over the $100 million check to Sean, and you watched Sean verify the check and deposit the money into our account, and now you sue me for not having a penny in it, so please tell me where the $100 million went? Aren't you playing the worst joke on me?"

Nikolavich roared angrily at Kasia, and even squirted saliva in the face. However, the president of North Russia cannot help but be angry, after all, it is not a dollar or two dollars, but 100 million US dollars, which is nothing at the peak of this superpower, but in terms of the current leaky financial situation of North Russia, this money is very important, otherwise he would not have made the transaction of 140 billion new rubles to buy 5 billion US dollars.

On the one hand, this deal is the result of the self-interest of many senior officials, and on the other hand, it is true that the Mlin is in dire need of money to ensure that the finances do not go bankrupt.

In the face of Nikolavich's roar, Kasia felt very frightened: "I don't know why, Mr. President, I did see the cheque being verified and deposited in the bank, and Mr. Meta was present at the time, he can prove it for me." ”

In a hurry, Kasia pulled up Meta next to him, and he couldn't help but do it, after all, it was 100 million dollars, and even he, the president's chief of staff, couldn't afford it at all.

Nikolavich turned his head to look at Meta, his eyes were full of doubts and inquiries, but in the face of Nikolavich's inquiry, Meta did not answer immediately, but took out his mobile phone and made a call first. The call he made was to Sean, the key account manager of the Swiss bank, and what he wanted to ask was whether the $20 million that Zhou Ming gave him had arrived.

In Meta's opinion, the matter of Nikolavich and Kasia is not important, first of all, as an old partner from the White House to the Mlin, it is impossible for Nikolavich not to understand Kasia's loyalty.

Well, even if the government doesn't believe in people's hearts, but at least if Kasia really wants to make a move on this 100 million dollars, he will definitely have to leave North Russia to apply for political refuge, and this is back with a serious report, then his brain is either squeezed by the door, or his brain is squeezed by the door!

Nikolavich and Kasia also knew very well, so they didn't rush anything, but waited for him to finish the call.

However, there was no need to wait for him to finish the fight, and when they saw that Meta's face was wrong, they immediately understood the result: this American master of financial warfare was also cheated, and his $20 million had not arrived.

It's just that it's very puzzling that the 200 million US dollars were obviously checked by them watching Sean take it away, why did it disappear out of thin air? Or is there something wrong with this Sean? But this is also impossible, because not to mention that Sean, as a key account manager of a Swiss bank, has extremely high professional ethics, and the key is that this Sean was brought over by them, and if there is a problem, it should be to help them!

"My God, who can tell me what happened, is there any oriental magic that Zhou Ming will use to make all this hundred and twenty million dollars disappear?" Kasia muttered.

Nikolavich didn't speak, but his incomprehensible expression was already very illustrative.

Meta immediately frowned: "If Zhou Ming just changed a magic trick for us, it would be fine to change the 200 million US dollars, but what I'm worried about is that he has other magic tricks that are not over." ”

Nikolavich and Kasia were shocked when they heard this, but before they could react, the door of the office was knocked on again, Kasia's assistant walked in and brought him a newspaper, Kasia's eyes widened the moment he saw the newspaper, and then he didn't even have time to ask the assistant anything, so he handed the newspaper directly to Nikolavich, because the headline on the front page was the agreement they signed with Zhou Ming.

Traitorous agreement!

This is the main headline of this news, this news first said that the central government spent 2.3 billion new rubles to buy 100 million US dollars in the hands of a Chinese, and then angrily denounced the Mlin Palace as a traitorous behavior, because according to the current exchange rate of the new ruble, 2.3 billion new rubles should be exchanged for at least 6 or 700 million US dollars, but he only received 100 million US dollars.

At the end of the article, the newspaper even posted a photo of the text of the agreement, including the signature of Kasia at the seam, which could not be denied.

Nikolavich sat down on the couch, his face dejected, unable to maintain the gentlemanly expression of the Western aristocrat he had always disguised, for he could anticipate the possible impact of the newspaper when it was published.

There will be an uproar throughout the country, the people will unanimously denounce it, if the political groups organize it a little, there will be a lot of riots and demonstrations, and then there will be a repeat of the parliament building that has just passed, and those who have opposed themselves will support the people to oust themselves, and whether they who have lost power and betrayed the country will be overwhelmed by the angry people, then only God knows.

However, compared to Nikolavich's lost soul, Cassia next to him was so frightened that he couldn't stop trembling, so you can imagine how scared he is now. The reason is very simple, this agreement was signed by him himself, he is directly responsible, and his president can directly sell him for the sake of his own power, saying that he signed it without permission, and has nothing to do with the Mlin Palace and the president himself, and he will be the one who will be pointed at by the thousands of people at that time, how can this not make him feel afraid?

Although Kasia is only the chief of staff of the president, and there is a distance between him and Nikolavich's top leader, it is already a high position for ordinary people.

It is no exaggeration to say that the one qiē he now owns, whether it is his several manor houses on the shores of the Black Sea with Chrisco, his huge savings in Swiss banks, his wife, who is twenty years younger than him, and the adoration and support of relatives and friends, are based on this position.

Because he has something that ordinary people can't fight for in several lifetimes, he is even more afraid of losing.

It is precisely for these reasons that when this agreement was signed in the Red Square building, when Zhou Ming jokingly mentioned that a big press conference was going to be held, Kasia's face suddenly became very embarrassed, that is, he knew very well that this agreement could not see the light of day at all.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether this agreement can see the light of day, after all, on the basis of mutual profits, no one will be stupid enough to make this agreement public.

But that was at the beginning, it was based on the transaction, but now because Nikolavich does not fulfill the agreement, Zhou Ming can only take countermeasures, which is expected by Nikolavich, but that result is at least he should have won the 100 million US dollars for the national finance, but now not only should the US dollars that should be lying in the Swiss bank disappear very angrily, but the agreement was exposed so quickly, he is in Zhou Ming's trap.

"Mr. President, we must do our best to carry out the action, this newspaper must be traced to the end, and none of the Chinese who leaked the agreement can be let go!" Mr. Kasia told Nikolavich.

Kasia's words reminded Nikolavich, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he immediately straightened up and said to Kasia: "Old man, you go and contact the KGB immediately, you must arrest these damn bastards, I must cut off their heads and stuff them in their ass!"

Hearing the name of the KGB, Kasia knew that Mr. President was going to be ruthless, so he immediately stood up and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. President, I will do it immediately." ”

Kasia was about to walk out of the office as he spoke, but before he could take a step, he was stopped by Meta, who looked at Meta in confusion, but Meta ignored him and said to Nikolavich: "Mr. President, don't worry, you should read the date in the newspaper first." ”

Nikolavich was about to reprimand Mehta, but when he heard his words, he was shocked, and he immediately grabbed the newspaper and looked at the date, he was stunned at first, and then laughed.

Kassia was a little puzzled by Nikolavich's watch, but when he reached out and saw the date in the newspaper, he breathed a sigh of relief, because the date on it was September 1st, not today but tomorrow.

"Mr. Zhou Ming's time is too exquisite, it's just right not to go forward or backward. ”

Meta said with emotion, he could see at a glance Zhou Ming's intention to arrange this time, it was nothing more than a warning, and he didn't really intend to tear up their faces, and because the date happened to be tomorrow, he and Nikolavich couldn't make any preparations even if they wanted to.

"Mr. Meta, this is not the time to lament your opponent. Kasia reminded Meta.

"I understand," said Meta, "Mr. Nikolavich, since we have both lost to Mr. Zhou Ming, I think we should honestly take the initiative to contact him and discuss it again, what do you think?"

"Of course, after all, according to the agreement, this deal should have been completed, and I, as the president of North Russia, can't break my word. Nikolavich said.
