Chapter 366: To Moscow
The day after reaching an agreement with Putin, Zheng Yan left St. Petersburg by plane and headed for Moscow, the capital of Russia. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he never met with Putin again during this period, and Zheng Yan also believed that Putin would not leak the content of the conversation between the two, even if it was his teacher Sobchak.
After arriving in Moscow, Wang Zhen came forward to contact the former Soviet military officers who had led the purchase of arms for him. Originally, Zheng Yan thought that he would definitely be able to meet the target task of this time in a short period of time - General Grachev, but the meeting was delayed again and again.
"Zheng Yan, why don't we think of another way? If it really doesn't work, we can contact it through the country, and it's not a way to wait like this. ”
Liu Jun was not optimistic about this trip, and he never saw the main owner, so after staying in Moscow for more than ten days, Liu Jun couldn't wait.
"Big brother, don't worry, the other party must be more anxious than us. Sobchak is also part of Yeltsin's faction, the same faction as Grachev, whom we will meet next. The news of our meeting with Sobchak in St. Petersburg must have reached Moscow long ago. ”
"The reason why they have been dragging their feet and not seeing each other is because they can't figure it out. The news of my visit to Russia was not concealed in the first place, and it could not be concealed, and now some people are speculating about my purpose, and some people are thinking about how to benefit from me. ”
"Even Grachev and Yeltsin, even if they learned from Sobchak about my intentions, would doubt the truth of the matter, so they hesitated. But it's no wonder that you were shocked when you heard my purpose?"
"They should now be debating what to do if they agree to my request, and how to get the benefits if they don't. But I'm sure we'll meet soon, and when we do, things will go well. ”
"As for internal contacts, it is better not to do so unless it is necessary. I came forward as an individual, although it is only a fig leaf, but there is a big difference between having this fig leaf and not having this fig leaf. ”
"Although everyone knows it, if I come forward, I can open the way with money, and I spend my own money, which is nothing. Once the country comes out early, this negotiation will not go well. ”
If Grachev and Yeltsin were both loyal to the country, Zheng Yan would have given up a long time ago, but judging from the information that Zheng Yan knew, the truth was just the opposite, compared with their country, they loved themselves more, so Zheng Yan was not worried at all.
But thinking about it again, it is not a way to always wait like this, and to be passive all the time, so he said to Wang Zhen: "Brother Zhen, you go to contact them again, and tell them that if you don't see Grachev tomorrow, I will be ready to return to China." ”
Prior to this, the Western Cluster of Russian troops originally stationed in Germany had reached an agreement with the German government to withdraw all of them to Russian territory within two years, and it was this withdrawal that created a large number of arms smuggling cases involving Grachev.
Because the life of Russian officers and soldiers is very difficult, and more because of their own greed, in order to enrich their own pockets, Bullakov and others regard selling arms as a way to make money.
They took advantage of the withdrawal of their troops to transport entire ships of weapons and equipment to international arms dealers, and then put large sums of dollars in their pockets. There are also reports that they have withheld funds from the German government for the construction of housing for military officers in Russia.
In the process of Russia's withdrawal of troops from Eastern European countries, Grachev, as defense minister, profited from it and took a large share of the fertilizer, and was nicknamed "Mr. Porsche-Mercedes" by the Western media.
This time, Zheng Yan himself is the bait that he let out, for a greedy person like Grachev, since he sees the bait, he has to try to bite it before he is willing, so he will definitely not give up the opportunity to meet him.
"Zheng Yan, are you sure that Grachev will meet with you? If we don't see you tomorrow, will we really go back to China? You must know that in St. Petersburg, you gave Sobchak a million dollars, and if you left like this, the money would be wasted. ”
Originally, Liu Jun was really not optimistic about this plan, but as a soldier, he always believed that since it started, there was no reason to be anticlimactic. Thinking about the $1 million given to Sobchak, it's even more distressing.
"Big brother, let me take the time to ask the third brother, when have I ever made a loss-making transaction? ”
If Grachev and Yeltsin were interested in meeting with themselves, then an answer would definitely be given before tomorrow, and if the other side did not intend to, then there was no point in waiting. However, Zheng Yan also thought about it, even if the Varyag aircraft carrier is not playing, it can also make a fuss from other aspects.
After arriving in Moscow, Zheng Yan learned that Wang Zhen had contacted the famous "Death Merchant" in later generations - Victor Bout.
Viktor Butt used to be a major in the Soviet Air Force, and Grachev happened to be the commander of the Soviet Air Force before he became Minister of Defense, plus the amount of arms sold by Viktor But, if he had nothing to do with Grachev, he would not believe it if he killed Zheng Yan.
As long as Viktor Bout, an arms dealer who fears chaos in the world, takes the lead, it should not be a problem to meet Grachev. If you take 10,000 steps back, even if the Varyag aircraft carrier is not played, you can buy enough valuable arms.
"Zheng Yan, this is the information you want. Just as Zheng Yan and the two were talking, Chen Dashan walked in with a briefcase.
"Brother Shan, it's too good for you to come back, I've worked hard for you this time, let's go and rest first. ”
Zheng Yan understands very well that everyone likes US dollars, but they can't blindly buy people's hearts with US dollars, so before coming to Russia, he arranged a job for Miyuki Aso, and before coming to Moscow, Zheng Yan sent Chen Dashan out.
"Zheng Yan, what is this, you shouldn't let people collect some of their black materials, right?"
Hearing Liu Jun's words, Zheng Yan suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "What do you think, this is Russia, not domestic, and I don't want to make trouble for myself." Forget it, you'd better see for yourself. ”
After listening to Zheng Yan's words, Liu Jun felt a lot more at ease, reached out and took the briefcase, and then took out the information, which was divided into two parts with photos at the same time. Although Zheng Yan did not explain, Liu Jun also understood Zheng Yan's intentions.
