Russell's iron-blooded policy was very effective. After killing all Short's henchmen, no one opposed him, and he became the leader of this armed force as he wished.
Originally, he wanted to kill his uncle and eldest brother Jabom as well, but Machyev succeeded in comforting him at the critical moment.
Russell thought for a while, and he felt that what Machyev said was reasonable. Bemra and Jabom were not harmful to him at all. Why didn't he keep them as pets? It wouldn't cost him anything anyway.
How much.
He even made Jiabom the external liaison officer, changing his role from a pet to a mascot.
The three brigade commanders were also promoted. However, they still held the position of brigade commander, but each one was given the position of a minister. In addition, Russell gave each of them two million US dollars plus a house in Casablanca.
High-end apartment.
His confidant, Lieutenant Colonel Dubo, also became a colonel and commanded a special force composed of thousands of people.
This special force is equipped with all Mao-style equipment, equipped with heavy equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles, and armed helicopters. With Alexander as the instructor, its combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the three combat brigades.
And Fred became the biggest winner after Russell. He suddenly became Russell's Minister of Finance, Minister of Personnel and Minister of Defense. At present, Fred can be said to be one person below ten thousand people.
Even the three brigade commanders who held military power were polite when meeting him.
Fred was very clear about his goal, which was to replace Russell in the near future. Therefore, on the surface, he was obedient and loyal to Russell, but in fact, he began to continuously cultivate his own power and conquer himself.
People who are believed to be loyal and reliable are promoted to different important positions.
Even Russell's personal secretary was recommended by Fred.
…
After the turmoil in Nyal gradually stabilized, Vladimir also took the time to visit Russell's territory.
His main purpose this time was to warn Fred and inspect the diamond mine.
At the airport, Russell, dressed in general uniform, held a grand welcome ceremony for his distinguished guests.
Although they would prepare a welcome ceremony every time Vladimir came over in the past, this time the ceremony was obviously much more grand than before.
Even children and teenagers were mobilized by the thousands.
"How do you feel? General Russell." Vladimir asked with a smile on his face.
Russell laughed and made no secret of it: "Old man, of course it feels great to be the boss."
"That's fine, this position belongs to you."
"Without your help, Metshaw and Short might have taken it away through their machinations."
The two mascots Bemra and Jabom can be kept in captivity, but the two traitors Metshaw and Short, Russell will never let them live.
"Old man, please don't persuade me to be generous and let them live." Even Vladimir hadn't proposed it yet, but Russell took the lead.
"How can I possibly comfort you? Do you know how they are doing now?"
Russell shook his head: "I only know that they are now in the capital of Niyar. I don't know exactly what they are doing."
"To tell you the truth, Metshaw is already engaged in the so-called democratic cause."
"What's this?" Russell was quite surprised.
"He is obviously trying to get his old wish from Dobombe. Do you think Dobombe will let him get his wish?"
Russell shook his head and sneered, "You mean Dombe hates Metshaw?"
"Absolutely, so I feel that Metshaw is very likely to be dealt with by Dopombe in the near future, either to make them leave Nyar, or to let Metshaw be the scapegoat."
Russell's face was full of confusion: "Old man, I understand what you said about telling Metshaw and the others to get out of Nyar. What do you mean by this scapegoat?"
"Aren't you always confronting each other in the areas of influence that have been drawn up by both sides? Changing one's name is not as simple as shouting slogans, but requires a struggle, so I feel that Doponbe is very likely to resort to such a move."
Russell laughed and said, "Isn't this just right? I'll save you a shot at Metshaw when the time comes."
"That's what I say, but you can't take it lightly. Metshaw has lived in Europe for many years. His thinking is almost no different from that of a normal French white man. Moreover, the University of Paris he studied at is itself French.
As one of the best universities in Spain and even Europe, there is no guarantee that he will not get a lot of resources from his classmates and teachers in France. What's more, France itself has a long history in the Philippines.
Many colonies..."
This issue was the result of a joint analysis by Vladimir and his think tank members. Especially when they learned that the famous Professor Henry of Barley University was Metshaw's mentor, they did not dare to slack off and spent a lot of money.
Huge manpower and material resources were used to create a list of Professor Henry's students.
Many of these students have already made their mark in the political and business circles.
If Metshaw uses these huge and abundant resources, then his strength cannot be underestimated.
Even he himself might not be his opponent.
After listening to Vladimir's analysis, Russell only felt a chill running down his spine. It seemed that his real opponent was Metshaw.
"Then what should we do?" Russell asked for help.
"Strengthen combat readiness and improve military strength. As long as your fists are strong, there is nothing terrible about it."
"Yes, as long as your fist is strong." After saying that, Russell waved his fist fiercely.
Vladimir was not in a hurry to answer, but he felt that Russell must have something to say.
Sure enough, Russell suddenly changed the subject and said: "Old man, if you have a way, help me get another 100 million worth of equipment."
"Okay, if you need anything, just tell Machiyev." Vladimir smiled slightly. His arms deal was facilitated this time. The order of 100 million US dollars was just the beginning. He believed that with the continuous development of the diamond mine,
Excavating, Russell needs more arms.
"Have you got any clues about the diamond mine?" In fact, when it came to the diamond mine, Russell was even more anxious than him. That thing was his God of Wealth. Every month, Vladimir gave him at least 100,000 yuan in his account.
It costs 70 to 80 million US dollars.
"Not yet, it is still being formulated. If it takes more than three years, I can maintain my capital. If it takes less than three years, I will lose money. But according to my intuition, this bill will be enacted within one year at most."
"If you need my help, just say it. We are all comrades on the same line." Russell originally wanted to say "help", but this time his mind was spinning very quickly. He had always been a comrade.
Vladimir did him a favor, he was embarrassed to say the word.
"Okay, by the way, are you familiar with Dopengbei's son?"
"Why are you asking?"
"If possible, I think we can contact you."
"We are enemies."
"What's wrong with my enemy? Do you think Duopengbei doesn't covet these diamond mines?"
"Old man, are you okay? You mean to share more of the diamond mine with Peng Bei and the others."
"That's the only last resort. The initiative is not in our hands yet. It's up to others to decide."
"I'll give it a try." From the bottom of his heart, Russell didn't want anyone to share it.
"Try, this is a hidden front. Maybe his son can handle it alone." Although the diamond access agreement is still in the process of being brewed, Vladimir has to think about the arrival of that day, "First
Just have a relationship, don’t talk about specific things.”
Russell nodded expressionlessly: "I understand."
In the evening, Russell hosted a banquet for him. In order to express his gratitude, Russell even gave him a pure gold revolver and matching bullets.
The next day, Vladimir went to inspect the diamond mines and forests, and on the third day, he went to the port.
It wasn't until the last day that he made an appointment to meet with Fred.
Fred breathed a sigh of relief and finally waited for the interview with the new boss.
