At noon the next day, Russian President Ivan personally rushed to the city of St. Petersburg.

Although the city of St. Petersburg was previously under the leadership of Ivan's political opponent Luzhkov, Ivan was also criticized by some voters for interfering in the local elections in St. Petersburg. But most of the citizens of St. Petersburg are still full of love for the young president who has left the city.

After Ivan became president of Russia, he was very strong, and Russia's economic situation has greatly improved, and in the eyes of ordinary Russians, Ivan is a very good leader.

Considering that Ivan made a special trip to meet with Liu Jun this time, not to inspect St. Petersburg. Adhering to President Ivan's instructions, Antonina and others did not organize a large-scale welcome ceremony, and only Antonina and other key leaders of the city government went to the airport to greet them.

Originally, it was also proposed that if Mr. President had to meet with Yoo Joon, he could invite Yoo Jun to meet with the President at the Moscow Kremlin. After all, Ivan is no longer the first deputy mayor of St. Petersburg, but the president of Russia, the head of state. Although Liu Jun is also a figure who cannot leave, his potential is unlimited, but now he is only the head of a certain city in the southern neighboring country, and there is still a gap between his status and Ivan. In diplomatic occasions, we have always paid attention to the reciprocity of personal status. But Ivan still chose to come to St. Petersburg in person to meet with Yoo-jun.

The main reason is that Yoo Jun's visit to St. Petersburg is due to the exchange of visits between sister cities. If Yoo Jun rushes to Moscow to meet with Ivan, it may arouse the "suspicion" of some hard-line political forces in the country.

There will be parliamentary elections at the end of this year and presidential elections in March next year. These two elections are crucial for Ivan to continue to take charge of Russia strongly, and Ivan's campaign team has already begun to make relevant preparations.

If Ivan personally rushed to St. Petersburg to meet with Yoo Jun, there would have been no such extraneous incidents.

It is a matter of course for the Russian president to inspect any city he wants to visit on his own soil, and no one can say anything that is not. Ivan knew very well why Yoo Joon came from.

People from Sheng Ye Group have already vaguely informed him of the purpose of Secretary Liu's trip. Whether it is public or private, it is necessary for Ivan to meet with Liu Jun as soon as possible and make a "decision"0

Ivan's style of doing things has always been vigorous and resolute, and after a brief exchange of information with Antonina in the car, he drove straight to the hotel where Liu Jun was staying.

Naturally, Secretary Liu had already been informed, and led all the members of the delegation to greet President Ivan at the door of the hotel.

The motorcade stopped at the entrance of the hotel, Ivan strode forward, and Yoo Jun hurriedly came down the steps and hugged and shook hands with Ivan.

"Hello, Secretary Liu!"

Ivan was very polite and greeted Yoo Jun in stiff Chinese.

"Hello, Mr. President!"

Secretary Liu smiled and replied in fluent Russian.

"Secretary Liu, we meet again. Since meeting with His Excellency the Secretary many years ago, I still remember the advice His Excellency gave me. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to express my gratitude to His Excellency the Secretary in person! Ivan changed his Russian and said with a smile.

The so-called advice of His Excellency the Secretary naturally refers to a brief conversation between the two of them many years ago when they were Xuan Xuan of the Changfeng Motorcycle Manufacturing Corporation. At that time, Russia was in a state of extreme instability, and the political and economic situation was very bad. Although Ivan is only the first deputy mayor of St. Petersburg, he has a national mind, and once asked Liu Jun how it is appropriate to reform an economy that is in a state of instability. At that time, Liu Jun's advice to Ivan was: Order!

Liu Jun said: Only when order is restored can other things be carried out effectively. A strong governing team is crucial.

As it turned out, Ivan was not satisfied with Liu Jun's reply. After he became prime minister and even president, his first priority was to restore the chaotic order, form a strong ruling team, and work to quickly restore the chaotic political and economic order in Russia.

Through several years of hard work, Russia is still facing many difficulties, but the overall situation is relatively stable, and this has laid a solid foundation for its rapid development and rise again in the future.

It was from that time that Ivan looked at Yoo Jun day by day.

Ryu Jun has always had a very peculiar impression in Ivan's mind. Because of Shengye Group, Ivan was very polite to Liu Jun, but in his heart, he didn't really value Secretary Liu of Changhe District, who was only in his twenties. always thinks that he just has a good old man, so that he can be in the officialdom of the republic and be promoted quickly. And Liu Jun's luck is also extraordinary, he has a sister of the same clan who is famous in the world financial industry. With a good family background and good luck, this is why Liu Jun's young man has early hair!

But Yoo Jun pointed out the key to Russia's revival in one sentence, which greatly increased Ivan's evaluation of him

This is also one of the reasons why Ivan surrendered to his dignity and personally rushed from Moscow to St. Petersburg to meet with Liu Jun.

Liu Jun knew Ivan's heart very well, and said with a smile: "Mr. President is the most outstanding leader, and under the leadership of Mr. President, Russia will definitely embark on a broad road." Ivan smiled and thanked him, and shook hands with Yoo Jun's attaché one by one, as courteous as possible.

Zhong Yongming and others were all very excited. They never expected that this visit to St. Petersburg would have such a bizarre encounter. Even in the world, Ivan is a top legend. To be able to meet this legendary Russian president with his own eyes, shake hands with him, and talk face-to-face is also a "legend" in itself.

It seems that Secretary Liu's face is really big!

When Ivan arrived, he had already arrived. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Antonina invited Mr. President, His Excellency the Secretary and other distinguished guests to dine together.

The specifications of this state banquet are the same as those of the state banquet when Yoo Joon arrived in the past and Antonina received him, which was grand and warm, and the dishes were exquisite. Because of Ivan's personal presence, His Excellency the Secretary, although he was not good at drinking, still "sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman" and Ivan toasted three glasses of vodka, the extremely strong Russian "national drink".

Liu Jun's stomach and intestines were inevitably burned by this liquor that was no less than alcohol, and it was quite a bit of a posture of turning the river and the sea.

After the banquet, Ivan had a brief meeting with Yoo Jun, then took his leave and invited the guests to take a break. In the afternoon, according to the arrangement of the Russian side, President Ivan invited all the guests of Magnolia City to visit the Winter Palace, one of the most famous attractions in St. Petersburg.

Located on St. Petersburg's Palace Square, the Hermitage was originally the imperial palace of the Russian Tsars, and after the October Revolution it became the St. Petersburg State Hermitage Museum.

The Hermitage was built in the middle of the 18th century and is the greatest monument of Russian Baroque architecture of the mid-18th century. Eighty years later, it was destroyed by a fire and rebuilt. During the Second World War, the Hermitage was again badly damaged and restored after the war.

The Winter Palace is a blue and white building, three stories high, the palace is about 230 meters long, 140 meters wide, 22 meters high, in the form of a closed rectangle, covering an area of 90,000 square meters, the construction area is about half of the area. There are more than 1,000 halls and rooms in the palace, and there are nearly 2,000 doors. The Alexander Column in the Winter Palace was built in the forties of the nineteenth century to commemorate the victory of Alexander I over Napoleon's army in 1812. In the middle of the 19th century, there was a special law in Russia that all buildings in St. Petersburg, with the exception of churches, were to be lower than the Winter Palace. Facing the Neva River, the Hermitage has a slight protrusion in the center, with three arched iron gates and a group of Atlas giants at the entrance. The palace is surrounded by two rows of colonnades, "imposing.

The palace is inlaid with various colors of marble, malachite, lapis lazuli, porphyry and jasper; Decoration with gold and copper plating; decorated with sculptures, murals, and embroidered drapery of various textures; Colorful and magnificent. In the second half of the eighteenth century, during the reign of the Russian Empress Catherine II, she ordered that part of the house be set aside for collections. World-famous art treasures, and call these houses "Hermidazh" Hidden Palace 0

The members of the delegation of Yulan City are all full of curiosity about this former imperial palace. This time, accompanied by the President of Russia, I was naturally even more excited to visit this magnificent palace.

Ivan is among the people of Ogans, but he is called the "new Tsar"0 shows the respect of the people of Ogansi for outstanding leaders.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a long line of black and shiny cars drove into the palace square. Liu Jun and the others came down from Fengli and looked up at the majestic arched iron gate and the Atlas giant god group statue, all of which were breathtaking.

In particular, the Alexander Column is even more majestic and majestic. Built to commemorate the victory over Napoleon, the pillar, which is 47.5 meters high, 4 meters in diameter and weighs 600 tons, is made of a single piece of granite, without any support, and stands on the cornerstone only by its own weight. At its top is an angel holding a cross with a serpent on both feet, a symbol of victory over the elect.

This kind of architectural style, which combines the ruggedness of the Russian nation with the delicacy of European art, is relatively difficult to see in China. Unlike the Forbidden City and other buildings in China, they are two completely different styles, each with its own merits.

Ivan stood beside Liu Jun and said with a smile: "Secretary Liu, St. Petersburg is my hometown, and I used to come here often to play when I was a child. For the layout of the entire Winter Palace, I am familiar with it. Today it is an honor to be able to personally explain to Secretary Liu the most famous buildings in our Russian history. Ivan knew that Yoo-jun's Russian was great, so he didn't paraphrase it through a translator.

Yoo Jun replied with a smile, "It is my honor that Mr. President personally explained to me the history of the most famous building in your country. Thank you, Mr. President! "To be continued!
