Piaotian Literature Chapter 294 Entering the base [Second update]
Zhang San has already arranged his schedule. First, under the recommendation of Major But, he will meet with a senior general of the former Soviet Army to discuss the price, and then he will go to the base to visit the scrapped nuclear submarine he wants to purchase. Baidu Search

"We are going to a seaside base in Beihai, which will take about three hours." Zhang San explained to Ye Kai, "In the evening, we will meet with Chubiyev, the former deputy chief of staff of the Soviet Army.
Let’s talk about the specific price.”
"Where did Chubiyev come from?" Ye Kai asked.
"With the rank of general, he is quite greedy. Although he still holds important positions in the Russian military, he has been ignored and marginalized. Therefore, he wants to take advantage of this period of chaotic management to make some money and strive to immigrate as soon as possible.
." Zhang San introduced.
"It's hard for people like them to leave the country, right?" Ye Kai asked again.
"It's a certain degree of difficulty, so the options available are relatively narrow." Zhang San nodded in affirmation.
Although the situation in Russia is relatively chaotic now, it still pays more attention to the senior generals of the military. At this time, it is more necessary to tighten control over them. Once a general or even a marshal runs to a hostile country, then for the entire Russian country
The impact on prestige will be immeasurable.
However, due to the country's economic difficulties and the lack of people's daily necessities, even Chubiev, as a general, lived a tight life, so he also needed to find some strong U.S. dollars to improve his life.
Ye Kai and Zhang San took a helicopter belonging to the Russian military. After flying north for more than two hours, they finally arrived at a military base on the seaside. After passing a series of security checks, they entered the base.
It was a huge military base hidden in a rock cave on the seaside. The entrance of the cave was so big that a warship could be driven directly in. Under the arrangement of the coordinator, the two took a small boat and entered the waterway in the cave. It took about ten minutes.
We landed on the shore after a while, passed through a series of metal spiral staircases and elevators, and finally reached our destination.
Ye Kai is not very clear about the military rank system in the Soviet Union or Russia. He just looks at the bars on it and the patterns are very complex. But it can be seen from the medals on the chests of the officers.
The officers in charge are all veterans.
After passing several metal security gates, Ye Kai and Zhang San met Major Bute.
"Mr. Ye, I'm really happy to meet you." Major Butt has been feeling a little proud recently. When he saw Ye Kai, he stretched out his arms and gave him a warm hug.
"Me too, dear Butt." Ye Kai is also a little enthusiastic about Major Butt. After all, this is a talented person he personally selected to develop the international arms market for himself. If it weren't for the existence of Major Butt, he would
It is also impossible to obtain the portable nuclear bomb of the former Soviet Union, let alone obtain high returns of hundreds of millions of dollars from him.
Ye Kai estimates that by the time Butt quits next year, he will be able to obtain at least about US$2 billion in cash or equivalents, such as jewelry, diamonds, gold and other hard currencies from him.
What's more, through Major Butt, if Ye Kai can obtain the nuclear submarines he wants from Russia or even the more sensitive Topol series missiles, the significance cannot be measured in terms of money.
The two chatted for a while, and then Ye Kai stopped by to greet Major But's father-in-law, General Dyanov.
"Dear But, how is your father-in-law, General Dyanov, doing?" Ye Kai asked.
"Very good, he is now the president's national security adviser." Major Bout replied, looking very happy.
Although Yeltsin has many national security advisers, having this title at least proves that General Dyanov already has a certain status in the new regime and is no longer like other KGB generals who are ignored by the new Russian regime.
abandon.
However, Ye Kai is also a little worried about this. If General Dyanov defectes to Yeltsin wholeheartedly, will his business of selling Russian arms be affected?
Major Butt noticed Ye Kai's concerns and whispered to him, "Mr. Ye doesn't need to worry. In fact, the president doesn't care about arms trafficking at all now. He has a lot of headaches."
"Hmm." Ye Kai nodded, a little doubtful.
At the beginning of the new year, post-war Russia put "shock therapy" into practice.
However, after liberalizing prices, the Russian market did not see the results of full shelves and stable prices that the president promised to people. What Russians still saw was inflation, rising prices, increased unemployment, rising crime, and social unrest.
, people not only fail to get happiness from democracy, but also fail to get benefits from the market economy.
So they took to the streets to protest against Yeltsin and the Gaidar government they supported.
Among these people are former communists, former Soviet soldiers, emerging nationalists, and even former loyal supporters of Yeltsin.
At this time, within the highest authority, debates surrounding the two major issues of economic reform and who had supreme power began to divide Yeltsin and his former allies. This differentiation led to the president and the government being on one side.
, with the parliament as the other party, that is, the struggle between the two powers of the authority and the legislative authority.
The first round of the struggle between the two powers began during the gestation period of "shock therapy" and reached its climax at the Sixth National People's Congress, ending with the compromise of both parties and the end of the cabinet crisis.
During the discussion of the "shock therapy" policy, Vice President Rutskoy, who had made great contributions to Yeltsin's election as president, raised objections. Shortly after the implementation of "shock therapy", the vice president publicly announced his break with the president and advocated the implementation of economic
state of emergency to curb rising prices.
Speaker Khaslatov, who has had a difficult time with the president, in order to maintain and fight for the power of the parliament, constantly criticized the government supported by the president for weakening the parliament and demanded that the government be placed under the supervision of the parliament. At the same time, as an economic
The expert speaker, based on extensive investigations and studies, asked the government to put a brake on the reform plan.
At this time, Yeltsin could not ignore the accusations of his former supporters, let alone the criticisms of his former allies in the top leadership. Because, no matter in terms of revitalizing the national economy and moving towards a market economy based on private ownership,
Whether it is to stabilize society and establish a capitalist system, the president needs them to work with him in times of trouble.
In order to quell the discord between allies, Yeltsin adopted a combination of benevolence and power.
After holding talks with Rutskoi and Khasbulatov respectively, he announced that the Vice President would be in charge of agriculture and more involved in foreign affairs activities. Later, he transferred the speaker's strong supporters to the United States as ambassadors and met with
Representatives from various parliaments were sent to weaken the power to divide Khasbulatov.
"The president's biggest headache is the economic issue. In fact, he is not completely ignorant of arms trafficking." Major Butt said to Ye Kai meaningfully.
Ye Kai nodded and said to himself that Yeltsin, a strongman, had some courage, but in the face of the mess left by the Soviet Union, he could only scratch his head. It would take a day to freeze three feet. If you want to completely reverse this situation,
The situation still needs time to adjust.
As for the various difficulties that Russians are facing now, they can only be said to be unavoidable "labor pains" in the reform process.
Of course, everyone is still at a loss as to when this "labor pain" will end. Just like a mother giving birth to a child, you never know when they will be born.
"Congratulations to General Dyanov. I hope that one day he can visit our country, and I will entertain him warmly." Ye Kai said with a smile.
As long as it does not affect his own plans, it would not be a bad thing for Dyanov to become the president of Russia.
Of course, Ye Kai knew that he was not destined to be president. Not to mention General Dyanov's limited abilities, even judging from his age, he was not the kind of young politician that Yeltsin admired. Today's young politicians were not the original KGB.
Agent Putin was Yeltsin's most important successor.
"I will definitely convey Mr. Ye's warm invitation to my father-in-law. I believe there will be such a day." Major Butt said.
In fact, Russia has no intention of moving closer to the Republic at this time, but the relationship between Russia and Western countries is not as harmonious as imagined.
Although Yeltsin intended to fully westernize and become a member of the Western countries, how could the vested interest groups in the West let Russia go through such a dangerous period safely?
That is not in the interest of Western countries, nor is it in the interest of major financial groups. A Russia in turmoil is more conducive to them seizing the success of the former Soviet Union's 70-year struggle.
It is in the long-term interests of the Americans to let Russia collapse and become a second-rate country.
Because of this, the prescriptions given by Western countries to Russia are not very authentic. Yeltsin is also in a difficult position now. He doesn't know how to deal with this mess and can only rely on the support of the Americans.
But he also knew this very well. The Americans seemed not to be trying their best, so getting closer to the Republic would be more conducive to increasing his bargaining chips with the Americans.
It is quite possible that General Dyanov, as the National Security Advisor, would make secret contacts with the Republic on behalf of Yeltsin.
After the two people talked for a few minutes, they heard rapid footsteps in the corridor.
"Dear Butt, has our distinguished guest arrived?" A voice came over, and it actually spoke Chinese, which surprised Ye Kai.
When the other party opened the door, they saw a tall, handsome old man striding in with a majestic appearance.
Ye Kai looked over carefully and saw from his shoulder straps that this was the real owner he wanted to meet, the top Russian military officer, General Chubiyev.
