Two more

Zhang San had already arranged his schedule, and first he would meet with a senior general of the former Soviet Army under the recommendation of Major Bute to discuss the price, and then he would go to the base to visit the scrapped nuclear submarine to be purchased.

"We're going to a seaside base in the North Sea, and it's going to take about three hours." Zhang San explained to Ye Kai, "In the evening, we will meet with the former deputy chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, Chubiev, to discuss the specific price. ”

"So what is the way of Chubiev?" Ye Kai asked.

"The rank of general, he is more greedy, and although he is still holding important positions in the Russian military, he is no longer valued and marginalized, so he wants to take advantage of this period of chaotic management to make a little windfall and strive for early immigration." Zhang San introduced.

"It's not easy for a character like them to leave the country, right?" Ye Kai asked again.

"It's difficult, so the space to choose from is narrow." Zhang San nodded in affirmation.

Although the situation in Russia is relatively chaotic now, it still attaches great importance to the senior generals of the military, and the more this time, the more we must grasp the control over them, and once a general or even a marshal runs away to a hostile country, then the blow to the prestige of the entire Russian state will be immeasurable.

However, due to the country's economic difficulties and the lack of living materials of the people, even Chubiev, as a general, lived a tight life, so he also needed to find some strong dollars to improve his life.

Ye Kai and Zhang San took a helicopter belonging to the Russian military, and after flying north for more than two hours, they finally arrived at a military base by the sea, passed a series of security checks, and entered the base.

It was a huge military base hidden in a cave by the sea, the entrance of the cave was large enough to drive the warship directly into, and the two of them entered the waterway in the cave in a small boat under the arrangement of the receiver, and it took about ten minutes to go ashore, passing through a series of metal spiral stairs and elevators, and finally arrived at the destination.

Regarding the military rank system of the Soviet Union or Russia, Ye Kai is not very clear, but looking at the bars on it is more complicated, and the fancy styles are also very complicated, but it can be seen from the medal on the officer's chest that several of the responsible officers here are veterans.

After passing through a few metal security doors, Ye Kai and Zhang San met Major Bute.

"Mr. Ye, I'm really glad to see you." Major Bute has been a little proud recently, and when he saw Ye Kai, he stretched out his arms and gave him a warm hug.

"Me too, dear Bout." Ye Kai is also a little enthusiastic about Major Bout, after all, this is a capable person he personally selected to open up the international arms market for himself, if it were not for the existence of Major Bute, he would not have been able to get the portable nuclear bomb of the former Soviet Union, let alone obtain hundreds of millions of dollars in high returns from him.

Ye Kai estimated that by the time Bout left him next year, he would be able to get at least about $2 billion in cash or equivalents from him, such as jewelry, diamonds, gold and other hard currency.

What's more, through Major Bout, if Ye Kai can obtain the nuclear submarine he wants from the Russian side or even the more sensitive Topol series missiles, its significance cannot be measured in money.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Ye Kai greeted Major Bout's father-in-law, General Zyuanov.

"Dear Bout, is your father-in-law, General Zyuanov, in good health?" Ye Kai asked.

"Well, he's now the president's national security adviser." Major Bout replied, looking very happy.

Although Yeltsin had many national security advisers, if he had this title, it at least proved that General Zyuanov had a certain position in the new regime and was no longer abandoned by the nascent Russian regime like other KGB generals.

However, Ye Kai is also a little worried about this, if General Zyuanov is bent on defecting to Yeltsin, will his sale of Russian arms be affected?

Major Bute saw Ye Kai's concerns, so he whispered to him, "Mr. Ye doesn't need to worry, in fact, the current president doesn't care about arms trafficking at all, and he has a lot of headaches." ”

"Hmm." Ye Kai nodded, a little skeptical.

At the beginning of the new year, the post-** Russia put "shock therapy" into practice.

However, after the liberalization of prices, the Russian market did not have the result of full shelves and stable prices promised by the president, and the Russians still saw a picture of inflation, rising prices, increased unemployment, rising crime, and social unrest, and people not only failed to get happiness from democracy, but also failed to benefit from the market economy.

So they took to the streets to protest against Yeltsin and the Gaidar government they supported.

Among these people are former **, former Soviet soldiers, as well as emerging nationalists, and even former Yeltsin loyalists.

At this time, the debate over the policy of economic reform and who had the supreme power in the highest organs of power divided Yeltsin and his former allies. This division has led to a struggle between the president and the government on the one hand, and the parliament on the other, that is, between the power and the legislature.

The first round of the struggle for two powers began during the gestation period of "shock therapy" and reached the sixth session of the National People's Congress, ending with a compromise between the two sides and an end to the cabinet crisis.

While the policy of "shock therapy" was still being discussed, Vice President Rudskoi, who had contributed to Yeltsin's presidential election, raised objections. Soon after the implementation of the "shock therapy", the vice president publicly announced a break with the president, advocating an economic emergency to curb rising prices.

In order to maintain and win the power of the parliament, Speaker of the National Assembly, Khasratov, who had been friends with the president in trouble, constantly criticized the government supported by the president for weakening the parliament and demanded that the government be placed under parliamentary supervision. At the same time, the Speaker, who is an economist, demanded that the government's reform plan be put to the brakes after extensive research and research.

At this time, Yeltsin could not ignore the accusations of his former supporters, let alone the criticism of his former allies in the top leadership. This is because the president needs them to be with him in revitalizing the country's economy and moving towards a market economy based on private ownership, as well as in stabilizing society and establishing a capitalist system.

In order to quell the discord between his allies, Yeltsin adopted the method of combining grace and power.

After holding talks with Rudskoi and Khasbulatov respectively, he announced that the vice president would be put in charge of agriculture and more involved in foreign affairs, and then he transferred strong supporters of the speaker to the United States as ambassador and met with representatives of various parliamentary factions in order to weaken the forces that divided Khasbulatov.

"The president's biggest headache is the economy, and in fact, he is not completely ignorant of arms trafficking." Major Bute said meaningfully to Ye Kai.

Ye Kai nodded, and said in his heart that Yeltsin, an iron-fisted man, had the courage, but in the face of the mess left by the Soviet Union, he really had to scratch his head.

As for the difficulties that the Russians are facing now, they can only be said to be "labor pains" that cannot be avoided in the process of reform.

Of course, when such "labor pains" will end, everyone is still at a loss, just like a mother giving birth, you never know when they will be born.

"Then congratulations to General Zyuanov, I hope that one day, he will be able to visit our country, and I will treat him warmly when the time comes." Ye Kai said with a smile.

As long as it has no impact on his own plans, even if Zyuanov becomes the president of Russia, it is not a bad thing.

Of course, Ye Kai knew that he did not have the destiny to be president, not to mention the limited ability of General Zyuanov, even from the perspective of his age, he was not the kind that Yeltsin admired, and today's young politician, the original KGB agent Putin, is the successor that Yeltsin focused on excavating.

"I will definitely convey Mr. Ye's kind invitation to my father-in-law, and I believe that there will be such a day." Major Bout said.

In fact, Russia did not mean to move closer to the republic at this time, but the relationship between Russia and Western countries was not as harmonious as imagined.

Although Yeltsin intended to completely westernize and become a member of the Western countries, how could the vested interests of the West let go of such a fat piece of Russia and let them pass through such a dangerous period safely?

That is not in the interests of Western countries, nor is it in the interests of major corporations, and a Russia in turmoil is more conducive to them seizing the success of the former Soviet Union in the past 70 years.

It is in the long-term interests of the Americans that Russia will be reduced to a second-rate country.

Because of this, the prescriptions prescribed by Western countries to Russia are not very authentic, and Yeltsin is now a little difficult to ride a tiger, and he does not know how to deal with this mess, and can only hope for the support of the Americans.

However, he was well aware of this, and the Americans did not seem to have done their best, so getting closer to the Republic would also be more conducive to increasing his bargaining chips with the Americans.

It is quite possible that General Zyuanov, as a national security adviser, made secret contacts with the Republic on behalf of Yeltsin.

After the two men had been talking for a few minutes, they heard hurried footsteps in the hallway.

"Dear Bout, has our honored guest arrived?" A voice came, and it was actually speaking Chinese, which couldn't help but surprise Ye Kai.

After the other party pushed open the door, he saw a tall and handsome old handsome old man, striding in.

Ye Kai looked at it carefully, and he could see it from his epaulettes, this is the main person he wants to see, the top level of the Russian military, General Cupyev.
