Chapter 29: The Struggle for the Successors (23)
Despite Younis's words, Ivan and Semolov still felt that working with Bodachev was a waste of time. Their reasoning was that it would be possible to unite Bodachev and confront them with each other while Dimitri and Milarov were all right. After all, this is tantamount to everyone acquiescing to fighting a proxy-like war, each supporting their own people, and letting them fight it themselves.
But now that the seventeenth game has been directly moved, this is tantamount to telling the other party to let these little guys in front of him go away, let's have a real direct competition. And at this point, it is actually of little significance to unite Bodachev or not, not only is it not big, but Bodachev may become our weakness, so that we can take care of one at the expense of the other.
In addition, Semolov even mentioned the investigation arranged for him by the old fellow, the Bulgarian named Yanev. Since the investigation, then human and material resources will definitely be invested. After all, this is definitely not just a simple matter of knowing who he is, maybe we will have to organize an arrest, no matter whether the operation is successful or not, according to the current situation, the other party will launch a retaliatory action against us. At this time, another plan and operation was being carried out on the other side, and Semolov felt that this was too risky and that the resources would not be enough.
As for the objections of Ivan and Semolov, the old guy Younis seems to have also been considered. He first explained Ivan's problem. As to whether Bodachev was useful or not, the old guy had the opposite opinion of Ivan. He thought that Bodachev, who was a real snake, would be very useful, just like Ogil before him and Priyanko, the fat man who now serves in the seventeenth innings, would be very useful. In the most difficult moment of the previous seventeen rounds, these two local snakes played a key role. In particular, Ogier not only did a lot of things for us under duress after being caught by us, but also showed great value in the service of our opponents.
I have a deep understanding of what the old guy said. Because that guy from Ogier attacked us at night with men. And also found us twice.
Younis is confident that Bodachev will be no worse than Ogier and Pryanko, and that if the battle is fought in Bodachev's sphere of influence, and we are cooperating with Bodachev, then it is conceivable that we have a very large advantage.
So in his opinion, it is both possible and necessary to cooperate with Bodachev. Although Bodachev's organization may be attacked by NATO, and the old guy may be terminated in the first round, his organization, his family members should not cooperate with their enemies, right? At this time, it made them hug us tighter.
As for Semolov's concerns, Younis admits that this is indeed a problem. Now, although the 17th Bureau has been strengthened to a great extent, the personnel have been expanded. However, it is indeed difficult to take care of some other actions in the face of confrontation with the west. After all, there are not many competent people and teams, and it is impossible to get them in a short period of time.
But that didn't change Eunice's mind. He said that the two tasks could be staggered as much as possible. In other words, it is not necessary to do both at the same time, but to arrange it selectively. Concentrate competent personnel to solve them one by one.
Ivan does not agree with Younis's statement. He thinks this kind of planning is more like our own wishful thinking. We can arrange the order, but the other party may not, they will work in both ways. In the end, it is likely that the reality is completely out of tune with our plan. In his opinion, the value and significance of that Bulgarian is greater and should be solved first. Since everyone believes that Bodachev is a stubborn and principled guy, then let him play with NATO first. Let's get to the Bulgarian side first.
Semolov agreed with Ivan's first half of the argument, but objected to the Bulgarians first. He believes that the existence of this guy Yanev is only now known, and this guy obviously will not be him alone, there must be a team behind him, and even a larger organization is there. It would be too rash and irresponsible to decide to attack him casually. In his opinion, it is necessary to be prepared to get caught up in a head-on confrontation against Yanev, which may make the seventeenth innings go all out and have no time to worry about anything else. So he felt that if he really wanted to have a sequence, he should also start with Bodachev, who knew better. After all, he also needs time to carefully investigate Yanev and assess the risks he will face in the seventeenth game after the start through meticulous investigation.
Younis did not speak after listening to the respective points of view of Ivan and Semolov. I think he looks like that, this old guy has the best of both worlds. Huh, is this possible?
He didn't speak, but Semolov and Ivan argued. In fact, in my opinion, what both of them said is quite reasonable, because I think it is quite difficult to choose any side, and it is not an easy thing to succeed.
In the midst of the argument, the old guy Younis finally interrupted the argument. Originally, we all thought that he had already made up his mind and was going to announce his decision. But he looked at Paul after looking around us, and then asked about Paul's recent personnel training.
This stunned Paul, who had been watching the play, but fortunately, Paul was prepared. After being stunned for a moment, I thought the old guy made a report. He told the old fellow that there were about twenty armed men that he could provide here at once, and many of these people had been recruited by Berezov, and they all had actual combat experience and were loyal and reliable.
Younis seems to be more satisfied with this. After asking about other information, he made a point of emphasizing the need for those Colombians to be recruited to step up their training. From this point of view, it seems that this old fellow is usually thinking about dealing with Balcas.
After learning about these things, Younis ended the meeting. After instructing us to rest and recuperate, and chatting with Zhao Yi to encourage him, he left here with Ivan and Semolov with a serious face.
I looked at the old guy and the car they drove away, although Zhao Yi complained on the side, feeling that there was no result after talking for a long time. But I think the old guy has made up his mind, because as far as I know him, he is not an indecisive person, on the contrary, the old guy is a very assertive person, and sometimes his decisions even feel reckless and even like gambling.
And the fact that he left today without any decision only shows that he wants to plan a big operation, one that will give him a major victory.
