Chapter 151 Victor Bout

Although Ye Kai came to Ukraine last time, he did not come to Kiev.

Kiev is also the capital and center of the first Russian country, Kiev-Russin, known as the "Mother of Russian Cities". It was occupied by the German army during World War II. After post-war reconstruction, the industrial base continued to expand.

The city is close to the steel bases along the Donbas and Dnieper Rivers, and is surrounded by fertile agricultural areas. Machinery manufacturing and light industry are developed. There are many categories of machinery manufacturing, most of which are related to the transportation industry, as well as machine tools, instruments, chemicals and machinery.

wait.

Kiev's light industries include cameras, food, knitting, etc., and its chemical industry and printing and publishing industries are also very developed. It is Ukraine's transportation hub, with an international airport in the eastern suburbs and direct river transportation to the Black Sea.

Before Ye Kai and others arrived, the military personnel stationed in Kiev had already made preparations to receive him in advance.

After checking into the hotel, Zhang San and Li Si began to collect information on the current situation in the Soviet Union through various channels, and then provided it to Ye Kai for reference.

After some research, Ye Kai discovered that the Soviet Union has now reached its most critical juncture. Sharp social conflicts are about to break out, and the unbreakable alliance is already facing the end of disintegration.

Since Russia held its presidential election as scheduled on June 2, the democratic leader Yeltsin, who had previously received widespread support, was elected with a high vote. At the same time, the opposition also participated in the mayoral elections in Moscow and Leningrad.

Victory was achieved, and most people agreed to rename the city of Leningrad to St. Petersburg." Zhang San said with some emotion while analyzing, "It seems that Soviet socialism can no longer persist."

Renaming Leningrad to St. Petersburg actually means restoring the former glory of Tsarist Russia. Naturally, the people have been completely disappointed with the existence of the Soviet Union. If it were placed in the country, it would be equivalent to removing the portrait of the leader hanging above the South Gate.

After that, the impact was naturally extremely far-reaching, so Zhang San felt it and said that the Soviet Union was almost finished.

The issues that Ye Kai is concerned about are more, and they are not superficial matters.

In fact, Ye Kai noticed that Yeltsin visited the United States a week after the election. Many of his remarks, such as stopping aid to Cuba and drastically reducing the Soviet military budget, were greatly favored by the United States.

Moreover, after Yeltsin ended his visit to the United States, the inauguration ceremony of the President of the Russian Federation was held at the Kremlin Congress Hall on July 0. At this time, Yeltsin's face was filled with a smile of victory, while Soviet President Gorbachev was extremely frustrated.

Yeltsin's victory showed that the basic structure of the alliance had been greatly damaged. At this time, the crisis in the Soviet Union was no longer just an economic crisis. The political crisis had also reached a very dangerous level.

In mid-July, Gorbachev met with the heads of seven Western countries in London, trying to win Western loan assistance through market economic reforms, but he did not gain Western support.

After Gorbachev returned to Moscow, he attempted to submit his new market economic development plan to the Supreme Soviet for discussion, but the domestic situation at this time could no longer proceed as planned.

"The current main work of the Soviet Party and Government is to prepare the new Constitution of the Soviet Union. The formulation of the new Communist Party of the Soviet Union involves changes in the status of the Soviet Union. At this time, the Soviet Union is facing a serious crisis both ideologically and organizationally. From |

From January 1990 to June 1999, the number of members of the CPSU dropped significantly, and people continued to quit the party. The new program of the CPSU would include "democratic socialism, progress" and other contents, and the CPSU

Our ruling position is also facing serious threats." Li Si picked up another analysis material and read out the key points to Ye Kai.

According to outside rumors, Gorbachev is discussing with the leaders of the union republics the name of the new alliance country, the organizational form of the political power, the ownership of power and other issues. In short, it is to form a new alliance country.

The negotiation process was naturally very arduous. All parties basically reached a new draft of the alliance. The name of the country was changed from "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" to "Union of Sovereign Soviet Republics". The autonomous powers of each republic were expanded. According to the new draft of the alliance,

, the new country will be a loose confederation.

"But it's okay, the old national system is about to be destroyed, and the new national system has not yet been formed. Now is a good opportunity for us to show our talents." Ye Kai felt more confident.

In the afternoon, the person in charge of the Military Intelligence Department rushed over and paid homage to Ye Kai.

The person here is Uncle Li's direct subordinate, and his public identity is the embassy staff. After seeing Ye Kai, he said, "Mr. Ye, we have found the whereabouts of Victor Bute, but he is in trouble at this time."

middle."

On the political side, the Kiev Military District has captured him and is said to impose severe sanctions." The local person in charge of the Military Intelligence Department replied.

Can you arrange for me to see him?" Ye Kai asked with a frown.

Yes, the Kiev Military District has troops we can bribe." The other party replied very definitely. Although it was not clear what the purpose of the second young master of the Ye family was to find this Soviet man, he still expressed his support very clearly, because

Uncle Li had previously indicated that without affecting their work, Ye Kai should be given adequate help, including using some important local connections.

Soon after, Ye Kai met Victor But in the prison of the Kiev Military Region.

Many people may be very unfamiliar with the name Victor Bute, but if you mention a later movie, "Lord of War" starring Nicolas Cage, it should be clear.

Yes, Victor Bute is the prototype of the male protagonist who avoids movies.

Victor Butt’s experience is legendary. He graduated from the Moscow Military Foreign Languages ​​Institute and can speak 6 languages ​​fluently, including Russian, Uzbek, English, French, Portuguese and Chinese. After military training, he served in the Soviet Union

He served at an air force base in the northeastern city of Vitebsk and served as a navigator.

Later, he served in the Soviet contingent of peacekeeping forces in Angola as a translator.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Bout's task force was also disbanded. Later, he began to drive the "Anton Piao Astronomical Network" around the world. He sold some Soviet-made tanks, helicopters and other weapons to many war zones, such as Afghanistan.

Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Sudan, etc.

There is also evidence that Bout once provided arms to the Taliban and Al Qaeda. In addition, he is also suspected of reselling weapons and technical intelligence data to Iraq.

Bute's sales network extends to almost all parts of Africa, including Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo (DRC), Equatorial Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland and Uganda. Research on illegal

Experts on arms smuggling believe that Bout can be seen in every major war in Africa. Without Bout, Africa would be much more peaceful.

It was just that when Ye Kai found him, the future king of war, the internationally notorious arms dealer, was sitting in a corner of the prison with a bruised nose and a swollen face. One eye was swollen, narrowed to a slit, and his nose was a little bit...

The meaning of "crooked" is that it looks like someone has punched you and taught you a lesson.

"Major Victor Butt?" Ye Kai asked, pinching his nose.

Originally, he didn't want to hold his nose like this, but the smell inside the prison was a bit too unpleasant, moldy, damp, and smelled of dead rats, making it difficult to breathe.

Chinese? Who are you?" Victor Bute was about twenty-five years old. His eyes were sunken and he had the temperament of a Caucasian. He looked at Ye Kai very warily and asked.

It doesn't matter who I am, but I can let you walk out of here safe and sound." Ye Kai replied.

"I'm afraid this is very difficult. You don't know what kind of big shots I have offended." Victor Bute shook his head and said, "Chinese, this is the Soviet Union, and your method will not work."

How to rescue you is my business." Ye Kai said, "But don't you want to know why I came to you?"

I really don’t know this, and I don’t think you can handle the KGB.” Victor Butt shook his head.

What on earth did you commit?" Ye Kai asked.

The head of the KGB in Kiev, General Dyanov, I gave his only daughter to him!" Victor Butt replied very calmly.

After hearing this, Ye Kai looked at Victor Bute seriously, then rubbed his nose and said, "This matter is indeed more difficult to deal with than I thought, so if you want to come out, you must agree to serve me.

Three years, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Victor Bute rolled his eyes and said, "I will not betray my motherland!"

There is no possibility of this!" Ye Kai replied with a smile, "I'm just looking for you to be my middleman and sell some supplies abroad!"

Deal!" Victor Bute agreed after thinking about it.

He has really had enough of staying in this dirty place. If the Chinese in front of him can let him out safely, they should have a very powerful force and be worthy of his temporary service.

After leaving the prison, Ye Kai said to the local person in charge of the Military Intelligence Department, "I want to meet with General Dyanov of the KGB as soon as possible. Can you arrange this?"

Yes, but that person is difficult to deal with and may not buy our account." The local person in charge of the Military Intelligence Department replied.

Of course I have a way to deal with the avoidance..." Ye Kai seemed quite confident about this.

"This may take a while," the other party said.
