The strategic policy that can be decided by the big man with a stroke of the pen in his hand is the result of the misery of the people's lives when they are put into practice.

Hiding the car in the corner, Buck walked cautiously on the city streets, reached out and touched the street garden bench that he once sat on when he and Natasha were in love, and now it is stained with black and gray powder, in Eastern Europe, where the air quality is generally good, and there is no smog, it can only be the end of a large number of burning around, although the verdant trees are still there, but they are messy and crazy and no one takes care of them, the white and wide walls are full of graffiti hand-painted slogans and slogans, both anti-government and pro-government, and they are smeared on each other, and the streets have not been cleaned up normally for I don't know how long, sewageGarbage can be seen everywhere, this large city of Eastern Europe known for its gentleness and good order has disappeared in the social rules, the few pedestrians on the street are in a hurry, their eyes are vigilant, Buck uses the local accent to ask people, only to know that now the big city has become a more difficult place to survive, there are relatives and friends who have the conditions to try to hide in the countryside, can go to the small town to live on agricultural products and natural drinking water is far easier than in the big city to obtain living materials.

After all, this turmoil has been going on for two or three years, and the political situation that was thought to be about to change soon has been stalemate, and with the disappearance of even the president and the resignation of the president, it is clear that the forces from the West have gained the upper hand, and Russia has become more and more assertive that it will not give up this qiē invasion, and Kharkiv, which is closer to Russia, is even more unlivable.

At this time, Kharkiv did not become a war or disaster city, so it did not receive internationally recognized food aid, and the government without a president will definitely not manage these problems of people's livelihood and survival.

Recalling that Ji Dongyang said that they basically couldn't take root and work here, and could only retreat, Buck was really helpless about the situation in front of him, and it was not even easy for him to find a restaurant for dinner in such a big city, because now the eyes of international attention are in the capital, and all kinds of forces are there, so they can barely maintain certain rules, so the aid materials from the outside world in the Western society are concentrated in the capital to support those demonstrators, and they are also helping the people in the capital by the way, and then the small places below are self-sufficient, the leading figures everywhere are waiting to see how the future trend will be before they can choose the next step, but they will throw the people there as pawns.

Seeing that it was approaching evening and that it was not a good idea to wander the streets like this, Buck went back to the corner of the park and drove the van around the center of the city home.

Eva and Peter's home is on the university campus, and now the campus is empty, and the sound of reading has long been gone, and when they meet two old people they know, they curse these young students and make a mess of them, and they all run to the capital, leaving these old and sick people waiting to die!

The gray professor's house was lifeless and uninhabitable, Buck picked up a few gadgets that he could take back to please his wife and mother-in-law and left, his and Natasha's new home in the suburbs was not finished, and it didn't make much sense in the past, and he used a satellite phone to communicate with Natasha, and Buck finally turned the car and went to the southern suburbs to visit the bishop and patriarch of the cathedral.

And Buck has heard more than once today that only the church is still fulfilling humanitarianism, insisting on distributing food to the congregants every day, Buck thought about the food in the carriage, and decided to send some over, after all, he has seen the situation in Kharkiv, if he really can't find other people he was familiar with before, he will leave here as much as possible, and it is not difficult to find some food in a small town.

Vehicles are actually extremely rare, most of them are rusted and burned in the streets or courtyards, but fortunately this Lada van is ordinary enough, and Buck is also looking for local license plate replacement along the way, and no one can notice here.

The dash cam needs to turn on the night vision function, Buck saw from a distance that the Orthodox Cathedral is almost the most brightly lit place at night, in such a difficult time of survival, religious belief has once again become a spiritual solace for people to survive the suffering, it can be said that all the people who can go to the church at night have come.

Of course, this is also a place where all forces will not ignore and dare not intrude casually, although Ukraine has not yet reached the point where warlords are lined up and robbery is rampant, but what will happen next, this is the point of everyone's prayer to God.

Buck used a satellite phone in the car to describe the scene he saw to Natasha, the girl who was already sitting in the high-end restaurant of the Latvian capital didn't even have an appetite, put down the knife and fork and leaned on the palatial seat, Wu Mengxi asked softly, and could only pat her hand comfortingly: "You have brought your relatives and friends out more than a year ago, this is the best you can do, you are already amazing." ”

Natasha smiled wryly in return.

This kind of mature expression reaction made Ekarina, who had been observing them, more peaceful, and asked to go out to play after dinner, but after being rejected by Natasha very badly, she went back to the hotel room to rest without saying a word.

Buck, who hung up the phone, sorted out his supplies in the car before sliding the van to the door of the church and whispering to the priest standing outside to maintain order: "I'm Pyatov from the Guriana neighborhood. Buck, here's some food I've brought back from outside, hoping to help here. ”

The priest was a little surprised, and hurriedly beckoned a number of people to go with Buck to carry the bags of potatoes, soybeans, and oats in the carriage, although it was obvious that this was still a drop in the bucket for the dense crowd of believers in the large church, but at this time any little material was precious, so not only did Buck's minivan drive into the backyard of the church, but he immediately took his request to see Patriarch Guseff with him.

Buck took off the baseball cap on his head and held it in his hand, and followed the priest in a black robe and black hat through the candlelit church passage to the huge chapel, where the Patriarch was praying, and the sound of the huge congregation below was as thick as a hammer striking the heart.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the old priest had baptized some of the believers, the tired Gusseff was led to Buck and sat down with difficulty, for an old man in his seventies, he still worked so hard, and his pious and firm faith and hope to stabilize the people's persistence may be the only explanation.

Buck's face in the candlelight made Mistress Gussef recall without much time: "My child...... I think it's time for you to come too. ”R1148
