Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Bottle of Vodka
(Bow and thank "woainiwodjia" for their support!)
On April 25, 99, a news car of the Central Television Station came to a villa on the outskirts of Krishko, and the famous host took the microphone to the camera and said: "Today is the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of North Russia, and ten years ago today, the first leader of the Republic of North Russia, Mr. Nikolavich, delivered a speech that shocked the world on tank No. 110 at the entrance of the White House, and the history of North Russia began to turn a new page from today. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info today we are fortunate to find one of the witnesses of that year, he is Mr. Nikolavich's secretary Mr. Kinosky. β
Then the camera turned, and an old man with gray hair appeared in the camera, and the host came to him and asked him: "Mr. Kinosky, I heard that in an interview with foreign media, you said that the speech was not as the world knows, right? Mr. Nikolavich does not seem to be as brave as everyone thinks? We would like to know what the situation was like back then." β
Faced with the moderator's question, the old man fell into deep remembrance, and he replied: "Of course it was not like that, the situation was very critical, thousands of troops surrounded us, no one knew where tomorrow would be, Mr. Nikolavich tried his best to remain calm in front of the media and officials, but I could see that he was very scared in his heart, because his whole body was trembling. β
At this point, Kinoski asked the host: "Can you imagine a man known as the Ural Eagle trembling with fear? I saw it with my own eyes, if it weren't for the later." β
The host keenly grasped the key point and hurriedly asked, "What happened later?"
Kinowski did not answer, but first asked the host: "Have you heard the story of the heroes of the green plum boiled wine?"
"Of course, it is a very classic chapter in our most famous Romance of the Three Kingdoms in China, and almost everyone in China knows about it, but does it matter?" the host asked.
Kinoski smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed the wine bottle on the table next to him and said: "Of course it has a relationship, and it has a lot to do with it, because it was this bottle of vodka that changed everything, I remember what the gentleman said at that time, this is called vodka caviar on current affairs! I still remember that Mr. Nikolavich was not happy with a bottle that day, but he still drank another bottle treasured in the White House!"
"Wait a minute, Mr. Kinoski, do you mean that Mr. Nikolavich climbed into the tank to give that speech because he was drunk?" the moderator felt a little incredulous.
"Everyone says drunkards are bad, but sometimes, drunkards can change the world!" Kinoski laughed, holding up the bottle and pouring it into his mouth, looking willful to prove something.
The host was stunned, and everyone in the world who heard this sentence on TV was also stunned, because no one could have imagined that Mr. Nikolavich could make the decision to walk out of the White House, stand on the tank and make a speech, and persuade the army to defect, it was actually such a bottle of vodka?
It's just that no one could have imagined that in fact, there is still a sentence behind Kinosky's back, that is: drunkards can indeed change the world, but if there is no person who brings in this bottle of vodka, if it is not for that person who walks into the White House and shouts to fight like a man, and then invites Mr. Nikolavich to drink and eat caviar together, I am afraid that all this will not happen later, he is the biggest boss behind this matter, and even the entire North Russian Republic.
Kinowski thought this in his heart, and his mind involuntarily drifted back to ten years ago, that day at the White House......
Back at 12:30 noon on April 25, '89, sporadic gunfire rang out at the entrance of the White House, hundreds of opposition civilians tried to break through the defense line set up by the army, the soldiers tried to dissuade them, and the two sides clashed, and the army had to fire rubber bullets to return fire.
Although such riots have occurred countless times since the military surrounded the White House, each time it still causes a commotion, after all, it is easy for everyone's emotions to get out of control in such a high-pressure situation.
In the White House dining room, Nikolavich, who had just finished eating and chatting with Zhou Ming, was about to go out, but when he heard the commotion outside, he stopped again.
Zhou Ming followed behind him, and seeing him like this, Zhou Ming said to him, "Mr. Nikolavich, are you hesitating again?"
"There's commotion out there, maybe the army has started attacking the White House, maybe the situation outside is out of control, maybe it's not a good time to do it. β
Nikolavich said that despite his best efforts to control, if you listen closely, you can still hear that his voice is slightly out of tune.
Looking at Nikolavich like this, Zhou Ming couldn't help but feel a little funny, before seeing him in person, Zhou Ming really couldn't imagine that the first president who led the independence of North Russia would be like this, but who would have thought that such a coward could actually change the pattern of the world, and people can't help but feel that history is a little who likes to play tricks on people.
Zhou Ming shook his head lightly and said, "I'm still the same sentence, do you want to be a coward for a lifetime or a hero even for a minute?"
In the face of Zhou Ming's words, Nikolavich was silent, and he turned back to ask Zhou Ming: "I want to be a hero, but what do you want? I won't believe that you are here to save the people of North Russia." β
Zhou Ming replied with a smile: "In fact, I won't say this kind of nonsense to you, it will only insult the IQ of the two of us, but I really haven't thought about it now, let's talk about it when I think about it." β
"Then aren't you afraid that after I succeed, I will regret and not admit it? You know that politicians are the most untrustworthy. Nikolavich said.
"Thank you, Mr. Nikolavich, but I don't think I need to be reminded by you, because I have a way to turn you over this game, and I have a way to turn this game back, knowing that the coup side is much more powerful than you, and it will be much easier for me to help them than to help you. Zhou Ming said.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, are you threatening me?" Nikolavich glared at Zhou Ming and questioned him.
Zhou Ming didn't speak, just stared at him so indifferently, even though Nikolavich, who had just finished drinking, was full of alcohol.
In the end, Nikolavich was defeated, and said to Zhou Ming gloomily: "I will abide by the agreement." β
Nikolavich looked like a defeated rooster, although as a Northern Russian, he was taller than Zhou Ming, but at this moment he looked at Zhou Ming's gaze, but he always felt that he was looking up.
They walked out of the room and came to the hall on the first floor, where a great moment had been awaited, including officials of the North Russian Republic and the press of various countries, had already gathered to make a decision on the dining room.
Looking at the gathered crowd, Nikolavich waved his hand: "Let's go out and lead the people to fight back!"
Under Nikolavich's call, all the White House followers responded en masse, which made Nikolavich a little unexpected, he subconsciously looked back at Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming said to him: "It's normal, as a leader, the most important thing is decisiveness, for the people below, a decision is stronger than anything, even if this decision seems to be suicide." β
Nikolavich nodded silently, and then led the team out of the White House, and all the people at the gate saw Nikolavich come out, and instantly let out a tsunami-like cheer.
Hearing this cheer, Nikolavich's secretary Kinoski said excitedly: "Great, Mr. President! Sure enough, the people are still on our side." β
In Zhou Ming's eyes, he is a cowardly Nikolavich, but in front of others, he is still a qualified leader, he said: "The people have always supported us, but now our top priority is to win the support of the army, and we need the army to help us deal a powerful blow to the rebels." β
"Mr. Nikolavich is right, we must now get as much support as possible!" Someone immediately echoed Nikolavich, the prime minister of the North Russian Republic.
With the Prime Minister's concurrence, everyone else also echoed Nikolavich, but at this time, no one expected Nikolavich to suddenly turn around and ask Zhou Ming: "What do you think?"
If Nikolavich's words just now were very inspiring, then his words at this moment are a big surprise, because no one understands why Mr. President asks an irrelevant person about such a matter that concerns the future of the North Russian Republic.
As if he didn't feel the surprised eyes around him, Zhou Ming replied to Nikolavich: "I think that's the case, maybe Mr. Nikolavich's speech can change everything, as for the venue, I think the tank over there is very good." β
As Zhou Ming spoke, he casually pointed to the tank not far away.
Seeing Zhou Ming pointing at this, Nikolavich was immediately shocked, because his decision was not only praise, but simply praise!
First of all, not to mention that there can be a high platform on such a flat ground as a speech, just standing on top of the tank to give a speech, it is very inspiring, because this can give people a yearning that has overcome the violence of the coup d'Γ©tat, and the tank under the feet is a symbol of the violence of the coup d'Γ©tat.
If Zhou Ming's previous threat that he could turn the tables around at any time, he was still a little skeptical, then at this time he completely believed it, how could a person who could make such a decision in an instant be a good match?
Looking at Nikolavich's eyes full of shock and slight admiration, Zhou Ming opened his heart to speak.
What could be more refreshing in the world than knowing what you were going to do in advance and then making you thank and worship yourself? Especially if this person is Nikolavich, this event can still change the fate of a superpower and bring him untold wealth.
However, Zhou Ming was about to jump up with joy in his heart, but on the surface he was still very calm, after all, no matter what, as the boss behind the scenes, he must always have a bit of a high-level appearance of the boss behind the scenes.
