Chapter 38: Friend or Foe?
When Utars received Jia Lei's call, he immediately rushed to Moscow overnight.
"Jia Lei, is what you said on the phone true?" asked Wu Tatars excitedly as soon as he saw Jia Lei.
"It's true! You have asked me dozens of times on the phone, what is the matter, let's talk in the car, there are too many people here to talk about it!" Jia Lei said meaningfully.
The people in the airport are complicated, Jia Lei doesn't know which country will appear here, of course such a big thing can't be said here.
"You're right! I'm so excited that I forgot to even make such a simple truth. Utarus nodded hurriedly.
So a few people got out of the airport and got into the car.
"Now that it's safe, can you tell me what the hell is going on?" asked Uncle Utars.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, I heard a while ago that you have a wish to return to the Tatar tribe, but what you did was too ...... Well, in ordinary ways, they will definitely not forgive you! I thought of getting you an independent statement, and with this thing, I think Uncle Utarus will definitely forgive you. Jia Lei said.
"I don't want to hear this, but I want to ask, what methods did you use to get the Soviets to recognize Tatarstan's independence, and who came up with the idea in the first place?" asked Utars.
"This ......" Jia Lei looked up at the sky, not knowing what to say.
"This idea was conceived by Jia Lei, who asked me to come with me and lied to them with different statements to the Soviet and Russian sides, saying that Tatarstan's independence would be good for them. I don't know how Jia Lei came up with those words, but people on both sides actually believed it after hearing it. Ubatu said admiringly.
"Actually, it doesn't matter what I say, what matters is the money ......," Jia Lei reminded Ubatu.
"Money, what money?" asked Utars, surprised.
"I promised the Soviets $10 million in financial aid as long as they were willing to make a statement recognizing the independence of Tatarstan. Jia Lei said.
"$10 million in financial aid?" Utars cried out in surprise at this.
"I'm sorry uncle! I promised them so much money without your consent, don't worry! If you can't come up with the money, I can help you pay half of it. Jia Lei said weakly.
After all, 10 million US dollars is not a small amount, and Jia Lei really doesn't know if Utars has so much money.
"Haha! hahaha...... $10 million, that's too cheap, you really don't have to worry about me not being able to come up with the money. Utars suddenly laughed maniacally.
Then he laughed and laughed and cried......
"Back then, in order to fight for the independence of Tatarstan, we Tatars died hundreds of thousands of people and failed to do it, but I didn't expect that today we only need to spend a mere 10 million US dollars. Did you say that all those who died in vain died in vain?" asked Utars, crying.
"You don't have to blame yourself! If you hadn't stopped the war, more people would have died. You were right for your decision back then, and all Tatars should thank you. Jia Lei hurriedly said.
"Was my decision right? No, my decision was wrong, and if I had been as smart as you were to think of using money to solve the problem, then that incident would not have ended up in a river of blood!" said Uttars regretfully.
"Uncle, you really don't have to blame yourself! Things were different from now, when the Soviets were ambitious to unify Eurasia, they would never let Tatarstan go for a mere $10 million. Jia Lei hurriedly said.
"yes...... It was different then and now, I and the Soviet Union are old, and we are all about to go to the grave! That's why these people will stage the final madness, for a mere 10 million dollars, they can recognize Tatarstan's independence. Utars said with a handkerchief wiping tears from his eyes.
"In fact, it is not a big deal for the Soviet Union to recognize Tatar independence, you must know that Lithuania and the three countries did not spend a penny at the beginning, and the Soviet government also recognized their independence. Jia Lei couldn't help but complain that he felt that he had spent too much money.
"Father, you are mistaken! The reason why they agreed to our request was not only because of money. It was only then that Ubatu finally interjected.
"Oh, is there any other reason for this besides money?" asked Utars.
"I think what Jia Lei said to them actually has a greater effect than money!" Mr. Ubatu said.
"Tell me quickly, what did Jia Lei say to the Soviets?" asked Utars quickly.
Jia Lei lied to the Soviets that once Tatarstan became independent, it would become a thorn in the heart of country E, which would make Yeltsin and the government of E-government sleep day and night. The Tatarstan government can help them distract Eross and set them on fire in their backyards, leaving them unable to deal with the Soviet Union. Ubatu summed up the central idea in Jia Lei's words and said.
"Ubatu I hope you pay attention to the words you use when you speak, what Jia Lei said is the truth and is not deceiving, you are slandering Jia Lei's reputation by saying this, this is just a common language art in politics! It has nothing to do with deception at all. Utars immediately corrected Ubatu's words.
"Yes! I didn't tell a lie to the Soviets. Jia Lei hurriedly nodded and said.
"But Jia Lei, it's the first time I've found out that you have such a thorough understanding of the political situation, you always hated to participate in all kinds of banquets and socializing in the past, I thought you didn't understand to hate these?"
"I hate politics! Because the officials speak too hard to understand and are too artistic! They often say a lot of things, and then there is not a single useful word in them. Sometimes they say things as if they are white, but after you do what they say, you find out that things are black! Anyway, I can't figure out politics in my head," Jia Lei said with a roll ......of his eyes and disgust.
"But you are very politically gifted, very discerning, very judgmental of the development of the situation, politically long-term, and even able to predict what will happen in the future. It's a shame that you hate politics!"
"What's the pity? I'm too tired to talk to those old foxes who are officials, I'm going to lose my hair, I don't want to be bald before I get old! Actually, I really don't have any talent or vision, and my words are just an afterthought. Jia Lei said modestly.
What an afterthought!
Regarding the situation and development of the civil war in Soviet Russia in those years, there are countless analyses on the Internet, and even the situation and interest relations between more than a dozen member countries of the Soviet Union have special people to do research, and even some inconspicuous cities have been concerned.
Chechnya and Tatar, two brothers who fought together for independence, were even more talked about by various university factions as a control group because of their later divergent development directions.
"Jia Lei, are you really not considering entering politics? If you are in politics, you will definitely be a very popular minister, and I am even thinking about it now, let you inherit my mantle, and take over the contacts and news network I have accumulated in the past few decades. Utars asked earnestly.
"This ......" Jia Lei hesitated.
After participating in one banquet after another, Jia Lei also knew how terrifying Wu Tatars's connections in the Western high society were, and what was even more terrifying was his trading network that spread all over the political arena of various countries.
For these politicians, the message is the most important commodity!
"Inherit your old mantle, forget it! I don't have that much ambition, I just want my wife and children to live on the hot kang, and when I have nothing to do in the future, I will take my family to travel everywhere, spend money everywhere, buy airplanes, luxury cars, and yachts to show off my wealth everywhere. If you really want to go into politics, even if you buy a watch or wear glasses, people will be staring. Countless people will wonder if I am corrupt......" Jia Lei shook his head and said.
I have money but can't spend it, how aggrieved it is!
How many corrupt officials are so aggrieved and go to prison!
Of course, before marrying a wife, Jia Lei has to soak a few more girls!
"Hey, you're so unlucky, you are such a smart man, why don't you have a little ambition?" said Uttars, who hated iron and steel.
"Heaven will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act disorderly! Anyone who does great things must be able to endure hardships, so I don't want it." It is said that the emperor in ancient times had to get up before dawn every day. The current leaders will go down to the grassroots level to offer condolences on the evening of the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. 365 days a year, hardly a day off. How tiring it is to do big things!" Jia Lei said with an excuse for himself.
"You...... You...... You're going to me off. Wu Tatars said that the bowl ignored Jia Lei.
The atmosphere is in a very awkward situation!
"How can you do this? I have done you such a great favor, are you going to do this to me? Seeing that I have worked so hard, I have to give a red envelope, right?" Jia Lei rolled his eyes, and took the initiative to hand Wu Tatars a step and said,
"The matter hasn't really been done yet, what red envelopes do you want?" Wu Tatars smacked, and Jia Lei said with the palm of his outstretched hand.
"But I've talked about both sides this week, and it won't be over in a few days, so what if you give a red envelope two days in advance. Jia Lei said.
"You're naïve to think about it, I'm afraid it will take a year and a half for such a big thing to reach an intention and actually implement it! Everyone has to discuss a word and a clause for a month. Utars said.
That's politics!
"A year and a half! That's not good? It's too long?" Jia Lei shouted anxiously.
"That's fast enough in political negotiations!, why are you in a hurry?" asked Utars, puzzled.
If you really negotiate at this pace, I am afraid that the Soviet government will collapse before the negotiations are over. When the time comes, my money will not be spent in vain!" Jia Lei said in a cold sweat on his head.
The Soviet government was dissolved at the end of this year, and if this matter cannot be discussed before the end of this year, what the Soviet government says in the future will have no legal effect.
"The Soviet government is so big, even if it collapses, it will be a slow and long process, and I think the Soviet government can hold out for at least a decade. Utars said.
"Huh...... Building collapses and flooding are often instantaneous and unpredictable. Jia Lei tactfully reminded Wu Tass and said.
"Rest assured, unless the Soviet government collapses on its own, the world's largest country, even if it falls apart, it will not end overnight. Utars said.
"In any case, I think it would be better to settle the matter of a Tatar independence statement quickly. I'm afraid of long nights and dreams!" Jia Lei could only say helplessly.
****
Since the arrival of the Utars, Jia Lei has handed over to him all the two lines he had set up earlier.
Utars is worthy of being an old fox in the political arena, he actually took only two days to quickly grasp all the information, and it was not quick to set the date of the press conference.
"Didn't you say that you weren't in a hurry? Then why are you still in such a hurry to settle everything?" asked Jia Lei, who was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.
"Don't forget, I'm terminally ill! Maybe I'll die suddenly one day, can I not be in a hurry. Wu Tatars glanced at Jia Lei and said.
"Don't be lazy in bed! Put this on, it's time for us to pick it up." Wu Tatars threw Jia Lei a suit and said.
"Is this a formal suit?, why are you asking me to wear this?" asked Jia Lei.
"That reckless man from Utaru is coming today, you can go to the airport with me to pick you up later. Utars said.
"Can I not go? Uncle Utarus is not an outsider anyway. Jia Lei asked lazily.
"That's not going to work! This time your uncle is accompanied by several high-ranking people from Tatarstan, and you have made such a great contribution, you must show your face!
"Can you ask for benefits? Then I'll go!" Jia Lei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he got up and said.
"You money addict, I can see it, if it weren't for some good, you would like to lie in bed and sleep every day without even going out of the door! What kind of man do you think you are?" asked Utars angrily.
"Of course I'm a man! Jia Lei replied to him.
****
After receiving Jia Lei's news, Utaru immediately discussed it with several major domestic parties, and hurriedly took a few diplomats to Moscow overnight.
"Wu Tatars, is what Jia Lei said on the phone true?" Wu Tatar asked directly as soon as they met, Jia Lei passed.
"Of course it's true! I've confirmed with people on both sides. Utars nodded.
"But are you, a traitor to the Tatar people, really so kind as to help us become independent?" asked an old man who came along.
"I'm not a traitor! I did that to reduce casualties and end unnecessary wars as soon as possible. Utars defended himself.
"That's a nice thing to say! Don't you make an excuse for your cowardice? You executioner who dares only to attack your own countrymen!" said a Tatar official named Yefim.
It's strange that he was so rude, and no one present stopped him.
"Who are you, why do you say that about my uncle?" Jia Lei asked with an angry look.
"A nest of snakes and rats! Your family is really not a good thing? Even a child is so arrogant, and when he grows up, he must be a cold-blooded butcher. Yefim sarcastically said Jia Lei.
"Do you know who I am?" how dare you say that about me!" Jia Lei asked in disbelief.
He Jia Lei is the biggest hero on the scene!
"You're just a traitor, I don't need to know who you are? someone like you will dirty my eyes, you half-breed yellow-skinned monkey. Yefim said.
"Smack!" General Utarus suddenly turned around in anger and slapped Yefim.
"Shut up! You're going too far. Utarus said angrily.
"If you hadn't shielded your brother, he wouldn't have left Tatar alive after killing my father and thousands of Tatars. I'm here to take revenge!" said Yefim through gritted teeth.
"Is he brain-dead? You came to negotiate with a nervous person, and what you opened and closed your mouth was revenge, are you here to kill someone?" Jia Lei asked with a trembling anger.
"This is an internal matter for our Tatars! Said the gray-haired Tatar parliamentarian.
"I really don't understand, why did your government send a group of people who have enemies with Uncle Utars, are you here to negotiate or to stir up the situation?" Jia Lei said angrily.
