The disastrous defeat of Russia in the first Chechen War did not lie in the strength of Chechen armed forces or the weakness of Russian troops. To sum up, there were too many delays.
Neither Russia nor Western countries want Russia to win the war.
Within Russia, it is mainly the backwardness of various opposition groups, and even many politicians and business oligarchs collude with Chechnya. The opposition of public opinion to the war is even more noisy, such as calling on Russian mothers to go to the front line to find their sons.
As for the reasons, political struggle, commercial interests and interference from external forces are among them.
Let's talk about external factors.
Even if the Soviet Union disintegrates, Russia's huge volume still scares all European countries, so it naturally tends to further disassemble Russia. Chechnya is one of them. If Chechnya succeeds in independence, it is not impossible for Russia to decompose into countless smaller countries from east to west. Once it takes shape, it will completely lose its threat to Europe.
In the end, Russia suffered a humiliating defeat in the first Chechen War.
Simon promised to help solve the external interference in launching the next Chechen War. In fact, this war is equivalent to winning more than half. The remaining half is that Russia gives a little play to the strong military foundation left by the former Soviet Union. By comparison, Chechnya is nothing to mention.
In fact, this is like many local wars after World War II.
If small countries that break out of war lack backstage, such as Iraq and Libya, they will be destroyed by the U.S. military. Besides North Korea and Vietnam, these are "goblins" with backstage. As a result, two protracted local wars, even the world's first superpower such as the United States, eventually failed.
The same is true of Chechnya.
In the first Chechen War, this was a demon with a background. Of course, Russia could not die. The second time, Simon lobbied the west not to intervene, and the outcome can be imagined.
In the small office of the Kremlin.
As a veteran politician who has gone through a sea of officialdom, Yeltsin is of course easy to think about these. Since Simon westero promised to help remove obstacles other than military, if Russia can't run over Chechnya, he himself feels speechless.
After a few more details, seeing that the meeting was coming to an end, Yeltsin could not help but say: "Simon, I've been paying close attention to your 3G plan in private. It can be seen from it that your personal pursuit has completely surpassed us ordinary people. In fact, this is the reason why I'm determined to follow your advice and push Vladimir to the top. However, I'm still curious. Simon, I believe Russia doesn't have much worth your attempt, including your 3G plan and Westeros system in Russia Even if you don't do these, I will cooperate with many research institutions set up by Sri Lanka, because I understand that this is good for the future of mankind. But, well, I just want to know, why Vladimir? "
Simon didn't answer directly, but asked, "you should have seen his file many times, right?"
Yeltsin nodded.
Simon smiled and said, "I've seen it too."
Yeltsin listened patiently.
Simon did not make too many detours, and then said, "Boris, frankly, by now, I believe you should have no illusions about western countries, right?"
Yeltsin hesitated a little and felt that someone's position seemed to have problems again, but soon nodded: "at first, I always thought that countries like the virtue law should be happy to see Russia's democratization and privatization and try their best to help us." speaking of this, Yeltsin smiled bitterly before continuing: "now, I don't believe it."
"Not only that," Simon said, "if Russia's next president is still very mediocre and even a puppet pushed by the West according to the normal track, then Russia will inevitably split into many small regional countries again, just like Chechnya. At that time, all parties in Europe and the United States will have a good sleep."
Yeltsin could not help twitching at Simon's bluntness.
In fact, he noticed that the word "still" in someone's words was "very mediocre". If others said so, Yeltsin would inevitably be angry. However, Simon westero's identity was here, and he accepted it unconsciously. After all, looking at the current chaotic situation in Russia and putting aside right and wrong, Yeltsin knew that he did make everything right Smashed.
Thinking so, Yeltsin could not help but say, "Simon, as an American, don't you want to see Russia continue to fall apart?"
Simon shook his head gently: "Boris, I just have American nationality. However, in my current position, I prefer to regard myself as a 'westerosian'. The interests of Westeros system come first to me."
Yeltsin fought back a little: "capitalists don't have their own motherland."
Simon didn't mind, but smiled: "I can say so. However, I'm not an ordinary capitalist. I put aside my nationality restrictions and don't want to earn more money. Although my personal wealth has been increasing all the time, seriously speaking, I regard our planet as my own motherland, and the whole mankind is a community in my eyes."
Yeltsin wanted to retort again that "a guy who regards mankind as a community has just suggested that he start a war", but he still didn't speak.
Simon doesn't care what Yeltsin thinks. After all, even if what he just said is completely sincere, it sounds a little false because it is too macro. Just as people who can see through the western charity system understand that the rich set up charity funds mostly for tax avoidance rather than charity, in Yeltsin's eyes, Simon's grand goal, Probably more to hide his other ambitions.
Such as using the 3G plan with a very large investment scale to realize asset inheritance.
This is something Yeltsin saw through very early.
Sipping the coffee in his hand, Simon continued: "Back to the question you just asked, Boris, if you want to avoid the fragmentation of your country, Russia needs a very capable and pragmatic leader. This person should be very good at doing things, have a certain tactful character, have a view of the overall situation, rather than blindly strong. All these are completely in line with the person I recommend to you. In addition, this is a very loyal leader A reliable person, just as he used his power to send his teacher who was involved in litigation abroad, once he was on the top, since you were kind to him, he would also try his best to preserve the Yeltsin family. Of course, there must be an overall consideration to ensure the stability of Russia. "
Yeltsin understood and asked subconsciously, "Simon, what can you get?"
Simon took another sip of his coffee and said: "What I want is a global strategic balance. Oh, for privacy, I talked to Clinton in advance. If Russia is fragmented and lacks restraint, it is likely that Europe will move towards reunification and become a competitor of the United States. This is the reason why I persuaded Washington to rescue Russia and even give up interfering in Chechen affairs. However, personally, To preserve Russia, once the country becomes strong again, it will also become a strategic opponent of the United States in the future, but it is very conducive to the military industry group of the United States. Therefore, even if someone sees this, they will still agree to my plan. Then, the most important thing that the Westeros system can get is that the national strength of the United States will slow down while constantly dealing with various external strategic competitors Slow consumption. As you said just now, capitalists don't have a motherland, but the problem is that my nationality is the United States, and it's not easy to change, because it involves too much. Moreover, I have too much wealth. In order to avoid being coveted, on the one hand, I don't want my motherland to focus too much on China. On the other hand, I don't want my motherland to be a country The strength is too strong to threaten the safety of my personal wealth. "
Yeltsin was speechless for a moment.
Inexplicably, I suddenly felt that the October revolution launched by Lenin may be right.
After leaving Yeltsin, Simon went to the Solvay school in Moscow and a life science institute established in cooperation with Moscow University.
In terms of 3G plan, Russia has certain advantages in the field of space and nuclear energy, but there is no bright spot in life science. Simon seems to have more cooperation projects in the other two fields.
However, the problem is that, on the one hand, space and nuclear energy research are too sensitive, science has national boundaries, and scientists also have national boundaries. The sensitive fields are too deeply stirred, and what may lead to Russia in the future. On the other hand, with regard to Russia's nuclear energy and space technology, Simon has basically got what he should get through digging corners in recent years, and there is no need to do more.
Compared with that sentence, no one doesn't want to live longer. The more the elite at the top of the pyramid, the more so. Therefore, all aspects of the life science research institutes set up by Westeros system all over the world are green.
In the evening, it was a party in Simon's private mansion on yinsonglin island in the west of the city.
It's coming and going.
Yeltsin did not attend this time, but all Yeltsin's two daughters were present. In addition, there were dignitaries from all walks of life in politics and business in Moscow. However, someone did not appear this time, mainly because Simon did not invite each other. In addition, there was primakov who had just assumed the post of Russian Prime Minister, which was also Simon's statement.
It's not convenient to make a statement in advance, but there are only a few steps left. Simon should show his tendency.
Simon was able to discuss more practical matters with some people at this evening party than the empty entertainment at the gram palace reception at noon.
Such as further cooperation in the field of telecommunications and energy.
For example, Yeltsin's second daughter suddenly proposed the idea of setting up a special economic zone in Russia like Ukrainian Livni, with good goals, St. Petersburg.
There are also some military forces who want to establish relations with the Central African region, which has become a pot of porridge. Of course, they are not official, but want to send mercenaries in private to sell weapons and earn extra money.
As for why the military doesn't do it by itself, on the one hand, it acquiesces that the Central African region belongs to Simon's territory. On the other hand, of course, it is also important, or because Africa is too poor to sell directly and can't afford it. Therefore, it also needs the help of the arms trading platform built by Westeros system over the years.
Simon asked Celia to write down these things and said she would reply later.
If you can cooperate, you can cooperate. If you can't cooperate, you can connect with a network.
Even at this time, Simon will not relax the construction of his network. Otherwise, he may one day become a lonely man with a seal, but power can't get out of the palace. That's sad.
After only one day and one night in Moscow, Simon set off again the next day and flew to Livni.
This weekend will be spent in Ukraine.
Shuerxijinna's mother and daughter stayed in Russia. Yulia had told Simon that she planned to pay a sum of money to do good deeds in China.
Simon left Moscow and the news surrounding his trip to Russia spread rapidly around the world.
Even at the request of Westeros system, the information released by Russia is very limited. However, combined with the previous investment of Verizon, the core enterprise of Westeros system, in the Russian telecommunications industry, the recent change of American attitude and the IMF's timely assistance to Russia, some cooperation projects broke out after Simon Westeros's visit to Moscow, Everyone can understand that Simon westero is very optimistic about Russia's future performance.
Just as before for China.
Over the years, Simon westero's judgment has not been wrong. In that case, if you bet on Russia, there may be unexpected gains in the future. No matter how bad it is, after all, how much can we lose if there is a large block of Westeros system?
As a result, with the rapid spread of the news, only this weekend, many government delegations and enterprise investigation groups set out to Russia for research.
Now that Simon westero has given his endorsement, it is indeed the best opportunity to copy the bottom of Russia.
Only Simon himself knows that he may disappoint some people this time.
Even if Russia recovers next, it will still focus on military industry, energy and other heavy industries with high threshold. These lucrative fields can not be entered by any player. As for other businesses, seriously, it is still not so easy to do in Russia's business environment.
Of course, since the situation is basically certain to develop in a certain direction, Simon will not converge next. He still needs to cut a cake belonging to the Westeros system in Russia.
A big piece of cake.
After all, Simon is a person who believes in giving and returning. Even if he doesn't want anything, he will make someone uneasy in the future.
On the other hand, although there are many dissenting voices that do not think Simon can reverse Russia's economic situation, the new week comes. When Simon leaves for China on September 28, because his previous trip to Moscow began in Asia. On Monday, the global stock, bond and foreign exchange market also rose.
Therefore, it has even been mentioned again by some media that the "westero effect" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
This is a new definition.
However, many people understand that the key is to highlight Simon's growing influence on the global economy.
