With the end of the Trupp-Underwood televised debate contest, Vladimir's focus began to gradually shift to the Philippines.
After all, the focus of his career is still in the Philippines.
The Diamond Act is still in the framework. At present, it has not found a direct and effective breakthrough, so it can only be put on hold for the time being. Let Ford keep an eye on this aspect.
And he took the time to go to Nyal.
At present, Russell's condition is getting more and more serious. From the previous attack once every two or three days, to now almost once a day. Each time, Russell needs to be injected with a large amount of anti-neuronal interferon to return to normal. It takes a long time.
The injection made him noticeably fatter than before.
Russell also suspected his illness, but because of his violent and eccentric character, his subordinates were afraid that if they told him the truth, everyone would suffer, and they might all become victims, so these guys actually reached a unified opinion for the first time.
, That means you must never tell Russell the truth.
Vladimir also saw the clues, and the words of the top professor who performed Russell's surgery in London began to appear in his mind. Russell's life cycle is not long, and he may die at any time.
Previously, Vladimir's subordinate Machyev and others listed a range of people who could take over, from Labose's secretary to the personnel minister to several brigade commanders with military power. After a long period of cooperation between Machyev and Alexander,
Observation, they all agreed that the Personnel Minister Fred had the qualifications to serve them.
"The reason?" Vladimir asked.
Machyev began to elaborate.
First of all, LaBosai's secretary Short is quite arrogant. He is just a dog in front of Labosa and Russell, but he is definitely a king in front of others, so it is very difficult for this guy to win over him.
It's very big, and his personal image doesn't meet their requirements.
Naturally, Vladimir doesn't think highly of this guy who has a face on one face and another face on the next.
Secondly, the three brigade commanders are also constrained by each other and do not dare to act rashly for fear of being killed by the other two guys together, so it is the best choice to let them maintain the status quo.
However, according to Machiyev privately, the three brigade commanders actually complained a lot about La Bosai and Russell. The main reason was that the father and son ate meat, and sometimes they even drank soup.
No, especially Russell, after gaining huge economic benefits from the diamond mines, this guy often went to Europe to live and drink, but there was no change in the treatment of the top soldiers.
As for Fred, the personnel director himself is an important position. As a result, due to the arrogance of Short, Russell and others, his authority was limited to appointing some small positions. All important and sensitive positions were controlled by them.
, so he is basically in a state of being isolated.
Taken together, the possibility of winning over Fred is the greatest among these people.
"Have you ever sought out Fred in private?" Vladimir asked again.
Machyev said: "Boss, I have looked for him, but I feel that this person is more cautious, so the chat with him is limited to daily communication, but I can still feel that he is extremely dissatisfied with the current situation."
For Vladimir right now, time may be money, especially when Russell's condition is getting worse. He must find a reliable figure as soon as possible and let this figure gradually increase his voice.
"Machiyev, go find Fred today and have a direct showdown with him. See his reaction."
Machyev nodded: "Understood, boss."
"In addition, I think we can inform Russell about the showdown between Short and Metshaw." Vladimir instructed Ji Molin to prepare photos in this regard.
Since the last time Short met Metshaw in New York, the liar Jim An also met Metshaw, and the big net carefully laid by Vladimir was ready to be closed.
When Vladimir threw the intimate photos of Short and Metshaw in front of Russell, as expected, the devil became furious, with angry eyes spitting fire and clenched fists. If it weren't for him and Vladimir alone in the room,
Between the two of them, Russell would definitely kill someone.
"Calm down, arrogant violence can't solve any problems, man." Vladimir gently patted Russell's shoulder and pointed to his head.
Russell was not a person who could easily calm down. After half an hour, he became a little more restrained.
"This bastard Short, who was polite to me in front of others, actually got together with this bastard Metshaw behind the scenes." Russell swore that as long as Short was in front of him, he would definitely draw his gun and kill this guy.
, even if his father LaBosai was present.
"How can Short have such ability? He is just making suggestions." Vladimir reminded him with a smile.
Russell understood that it must be his father's instructions behind this, but Short, a bastard, could not escape death penalty, so he dared to make suggestions.
"Vladimir, what should we do next?" After Russell calmed down, he turned his attention to Vladimir for help.
"What do you think?" He was not in a hurry to answer.
"My idea is to kill Short and Labose." Russell said viciously.
"It's easy to kill Short. The key is Labose. He's your father. If you step in and kill him, you won't get any good results."
"You have a way, old man, just tell me how to do it, and I'll just have someone do it." Russell looked at him and said.
Vladimir nodded, motioned for Russell to come closer, and then whispered something in his ear.
After listening, Russell nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I'll do as you said."
…
The plan to deal with Labose and Short was already on the agenda. At this time, Vladimir also decisively introduced Fred to Russell.
Russell has always looked down upon guys like Fred, which is why he dared to directly deny the proposal to the personnel minister. But this time with Vladimir standing up for Fred, Russell naturally
It also gave him some face.
Vladimir patted Russell's shoulder like a godfather and said unceremoniously, "Russell, you privately authorize Fred to serve you."
Russell nodded without hesitation, then turned his fierce eyes to Fred.
"Fred, regarding the appointment of personnel proposals, you should sort it out as soon as possible. No matter what, I will support you with all my strength."
After Fred had an open-hearted chat with Machev, he also made up his mind to follow Vladimir.
He knew very well that following Labose, Russell and his son would never yield good results.
"Okay, General, I'll give it to you tomorrow afternoon."
Russell shook his head, "No, you have to give it to me tomorrow morning. There will be a meeting in the morning."
Time is running out, Russell has already felt it strongly.
Fred didn't know about the plan between Vladimir and Russell, but after seeing the list of names Russell was eager to promote, he made a guarantee.
"Please rest assured, General, I will send the list to your office on time before eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
