On November 11, the new week, the fashion topic caused by the Victoria's Secret show continued. For groups concerned about global current affairs and politics, in addition to the waves of last week's US election, a current political melon surrounding Ukraine seems to suddenly appear. Full blast.

On the morning of the same day, several influential newspapers, including the New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times, reported on the important pages of the Donetsk entrepreneurs in Ukraine on November 9, local time. The assassination of Yev Sherban, an important figure in the Ukrainian Liberal Party.

Although different newspapers reported the incident from different angles and did not name names, they all criticized Ukraine's deteriorating business environment and increasingly sharp partisan struggles.

Immediately afterwards, at the White House press conference that morning, in the face of reporters' questions, the White House spokesperson also expressed concern about the incident and expressed concern about Ukraine's promotion of democratization and the degree of openness of the market economy. At the same time, considering that the large investment of international capital in Ukraine in recent years has not only promoted the country's economic development, but also brought millions of local jobs, the White House spokesman called on the Kyiv authorities to take measures to ensure overseas investment. the legitimate rights and interests of people.

It doesn't stop there.

On the same day, important newspapers in Russia, such as Izvestia, Pravda, and Russkaya, also reported on the Sherban assassination, as well as the same concerns from the Kremlin.

The two big brothers spoke out at the same time on a matter, and the assassination cases that were expected to be limited to Ukraine immediately became known to the world. No one would be foolish enough to think that the United States and Russia would speak out for a sense of justice or for seemingly innocuous reasons, so they followed up one after another. In addition, the industrially developed and resource-rich East Uzbekistan region is already full of people. A piece of sweet pastry that has been closely watched, Donetsk immediately became the focus of close attention by the media of various countries.

Ukraine, Kyiv.

The second day after things started to ferment, Pavlo Lazarenko, who had not rested all night last night, was notified and rushed to the presidential palace. As soon as he entered the office, he was smashed by Leon Kuchma. A pile of newspaper copies and the roar that followed.

"Idiot, look at what you have done, the whole world is watching us live! The representative of the International Monetary Fund just called me and said that the loan funds given to us next year may be reviewed again, you know this Will there be any chain reaction if the matter is not handled properly, you son of a bitch!"

Lazarenko couldn't dodge, and subconsciously clenched his fists. Seeing Kuchma staring at him fiercely behind the desk, he had to quickly adjust his emotions and said, "Leon, I don't quite understand what you're talking about..."

The voice fell, and a coffee cup had flown over again.

Lazarenko reluctantly avoided this time, but was splashed by the juice. He wiped his shirt embarrassedly, suppressed the anger in his heart again, and finally said, "I mean, someone is targeting me."

"You can tell even the blind," Leon Kuchma's tone was still stern: "I'll ask you now, how do you plan to end it?"

"I've... that, no one will find those killers anyway."

Kuchma grabbed another folder and threw it over, scolding: "So you are an idiot, you can't find those killers, are you going to take the blame yourself?"

"I, Leon..."

"I don't want to listen to your nonsense, give you a week to close this case. Also, don't reach out to Donetsk again, including the bitch next to you, you all restrain me, or I will Just get you out of the prime minister's seat."

"..."

"Idiot, did you hear what I said?"

Lazarenko gritted his teeth, and finally said, "I understand, Leon."

"Call me Mr. President later."

There was a chill in Lazarenko's heart. Kuchma stopped taking him as a confidant. He hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes, Mr. President."

"Go away, remember, you only have one week."

But Lazarenko didn't leave. He couldn't help but asked, "Mr. President, I still want to know, who is targeting me?"

"Get out."

It took a while for Lazarenko to calm down, and Leon Kuchma, who was furious, leaned back on the leather chair.

However, thinking about the continuous communication with the US ambassador to Ukraine and the representative of the International Fund in the morning still gives me a headache. After two years of hard work, the domestic situation in Ukraine has finally stabilized, and the economic decline has barely stopped. At this time, the country really cannot withstand too many waves.

Unexpectedly, the right arm that he once relied on would stab him in such a big basket.

Leon Kuchma is actually very clear about what Lazarenko and the woman beside him eat, but in Ukraine now, frankly, the eldest brother, the second brother, is like this, and he has no position on it. The requirements are too strict. However, after going through this incident and looking at what Lazarenko has done in recent years, Kuchma gradually realized that his former allies, both in ambition and strength, are rapidly increasing.

This continues. With reference to this year's Russian election, Lazarenko and Tymoshenko are a perfect political and business combination. Who can guarantee that in three years, Lazarenko will follow the same pattern that he replaced the president by the prime minister in 1994. operate?

There was some hesitation at first, but this sudden incident finally made Kuchma make up his mind to take Lazarenko.

However, because Lazarenko's own foundation has been established, this matter is not easy.

Re-combing the thoughts in his mind, Kuchma pressed the call button on the desk phone, asked the secretary to call his son-in-law, and waited for Victor Pinchuk to enter the door, Kuchma said without much nonsense, "Victor , you immediately go to Rivney and test what Simon Westeros wants to do?"

When Victor Pinchuk heard this, he was keenly connected to something: "Leon, you mean that the disturbance caused by the incident in Donetsk was driven by Westeros?"

Leon Kuchma nodded. When he met with the American ambassador, the other party did not conceal this matter, but the deeper inside story was not known to the ambassador. Kuchma knew it at first, and he was inevitably resentful in his heart, but when he calmed down, he found that he still had to deal with it seriously.

After all, the current strength of the Westeros system is too huge, and the Rovno gang, which is backed by the Westeros system in the Rivne region, has the same power. Recently, with the completion of the Ukrainian parliamentary election bill , There is also the establishment of the 'Ukrainian Progressive Alliance Party', which aims to promote economic development and improve people's living standards, obviously pointing to the Ukrainian parliamentary elections this year.

Although the Rovno Gang clearly stood on his side and could be described as an ally, deep down, Kuchma was far more jealous of the Rovno Gang than he relied on.

Not allowing others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch is an instinctive thought that anyone can have, let alone the head of a country. What's more, the strength of the Westeros system is too strong, so strong that once the opponent turns against each other, Kuchma is completely unsure whether he can parry.

Just like this time, it was a sudden attack. Even if he understood that it was not aimed at him, Kuchma was inevitably more afraid.

It's a pity that Leon Kuchma knows that his current position is not as stable as a rock. He is not only surrounded by potential opponents like Lazarenko who are obviously dissent, but also rely on the Donetsk gang, which is rapidly taking shape from the foundation of Dongwu's industry. The crowd is also eyeing the power of Kyiv.

At this time, if he fell out with a strong aid like the Rovno Gang, his opponents would probably wake up laughing from their dreams.

Since it is impossible to turn around, of course, we must work hard to maintain this relationship.

In Leon Kuchma's view, this time is a good opportunity. Westeros is obviously dissatisfied with Lazarenko, so if he pushes again, he will basically cut off Lazarenko's future relationship with Lazarenko. The possibility of his own competition, and the Donetsk gang, Kuchma felt that Simon Westero made such a big commotion, definitely not just to beat Lazarenko.

Perhaps, the other party also took a fancy to the industrial assets in the East Uzbekistan region.

If you can provoke a conflict between the Rovno Gang and the Donetsk Gang through this incident, you can just reap the benefits on your own side.

According to his own ideas, Kuchma gave his son-in-law a face-to-face interview, and Victor Pinchuk left Kyiv in a hurry and rushed to Rivni.

On the other side, after leaving the presidential palace, Lazarenko returned to the prime minister's residence. Tymoshenko, a solid ally, was already waiting here. Seeing the anger on Lazarenko's face that could hardly be turned away, Tymoshenko did not Nonsense, directly talking about his own inference, although they do not have Kuchma's direct contacts, but there are too many signs, it is actually easy to judge.

Speaking of which, some time ago, Lazarenko wanted to take a share of the $200 million resettlement community construction plan in Westeros, and let a shell company controlled by Tymoshenko get the steel order for the resettlement community. After returning empty-handed from a bid held by Aldek, a grudge Lazarenko deliberately delayed the approval of the Rovno thermal power plant project despite Kuchma's greeting.

This is just one of them.

Tymoshenko, who had hit a soft nail in trying to befriend the Westeros system several times in a row, was also very dissatisfied with the Rovno Gang. , is really simple.

Now, a pot of cold water is poured down on the head, and I wake up instantly.

Not to mention its terrifying size, but the ability to mobilize the two major powers of the United States and Russia to speak together is not something they should provoke.

After a long-term discussion, Tymoshenko also secretly set off from Kyiv and rushed to Rivni.

The death of the leader, Yev Sherban, plunged the Donetsk gang into chaos. When many people thought that the Donetsk gang would be completely at a disadvantage in the struggle against the Lazarenko family, they did not expect The turn of events came so suddenly and violently, the two world-class big brothers expressed concern about the Sherban assassination, plus the Westeros system deliberately released wind, the Donetsk gang also responded quickly.

So, on the same morning, the deputy governor of the Donetsk region named Viktor Yanukovych, as a representative of the Donetsk gang, went to Rivni to try to get in touch with the Rovno gang. .

At this stage, representatives of the three major forces in Ukraine have gathered in Rivni. The core of the Rovno gang can't handle it at all, and they can only contact Simon himself.

Simon returned to the west coast of the United States on Monday, November 11. Due to the time difference, he received news that the time was Tuesday morning.

After listening to Celia Miller's report on the phone, even though she thought about it in advance and didn't want to make too much noise, she found that she was using too much force.

Thinking about it is not too surprising.

In fact, Simon underestimated the current energy of the Westeros system and overestimated the ability of various forces in Ukraine to withstand pressure from the two major powers.

If Ukraine is compared to a company, it is estimated that this year's GDP of about 45 billion US dollars is only stronger than the revenue of a Daenerys entertainment group in the Westeros system. If we talk about profitability, Daenerys Entertainment has just Net profit of more than $5 billion in the past fiscal year

, and even more so, Ukraine, which can only get by with debt.

So in terms of sheer economic strength, Ukraine is not even as entertaining as a Daenerys.

Therefore, whether it is the Rovno gang supported by Simon, the Petrovsk gang that controls the Kyiv regime, or even the Donetsk gang in the industrial city of East Ukraine, in fact, it is only a super media in such an economic strength that is not as good as Simon's. Move within the entertainment giant's system.

To put it hard, for Simon, the disputes between various parties in Ukraine can only be regarded as pecking at each other.

When the two watching giants were under the control of the Westeros system, even if they didn't want to make a move, they just slapped them, and the chickens who were pecking at each other were scared and fled, because they didn't know whether the giant really Hit it down, and with the strength of the giant's shot, if it really hits the ground, it will be a dead end in minutes.

Celia Miller rushed to Ukraine with her boss's instructions. The private plane arrived over the Rovno state and overlooked the land through the porthole. The first snow of winter has fallen on this land, and many areas are covered with white snow. However, compared with the villages, towns, forests and wilderness, which appear quiet or even silent in the white snow, Rivni, the capital of Rivne, which can feel a certain vitality at a glance, is different.

Under the clear sky during the day, the private plane lowered its height and passed the sky over Rivni. One could clearly see the busy scene of many construction sites all over the city, and dozens of apartment buildings along the Ustia River in the northeast of the city were under construction together. The resettlement community is even more eye-catching.

Sergey Komorov and Vladimir Korkoshko came to pick up the plane.

Celia got off the plane, felt the cold wind blowing around her, shrank her neck, and asked the approaching Sergey in Russian, which she had become more proficient in over the past two years, "I saw many construction sites still on the plane. Construction, it's already snowing, is it okay to do this?"

Sergey, wearing a black windbreaker, said: "The temperature can still be kept above zero during the day, and the construction problem is not a big problem. In December, the temperature will be below zero 24 hours a day. Most of the construction can only be stopped, and there are still a few to continue. It's just that insulation measures and replacement of anti-freeze materials have to be taken, and the cost will increase a lot, at least not on the resettlement community side."

Celia nodded, took the pair of gloves handed by assistant Emily and put it on, and the group walked towards the motorcade parked by the track.

Seeing that Celia didn't seem to be in a hurry, Vladimir couldn't help but asked, "Ms. Miller, Pinchuk, Tymoshenko and the lieutenant governor from Donetsk are all waiting in the city. , what is Simon's plan?"

Celia didn't answer directly, but said, "According to the schedule I sent in advance, is the next dinner ready?"

"Of course, but only Pinchuk?"

Celia nodded and said: "This is Simon's arrangement. We and Kuchma have always been allies, and this will not change. Of course, we must have a good relationship between allies. Of course, this is when our allies are the winners. On the premise of the location. In addition, I will talk to that Yanukovych tomorrow morning, Sergey, Vladimir, you will also participate in this meeting tomorrow, to ensure the development of the Rivno region, we need Exercise certain control over Donetsk's coal resources. The last Tymoshenko, the boss's original words are, ignore her."

Regarding the various forces on the Ukrainian side, Simon's core strategy is actually very simple, grasping the main contradiction.

Leon Kuchma is the main contradiction.

As for the others, such as Lazarenko's family, Simon will let him jump around, as long as the other party does not provoke him too much, he is also happy to watch the play. Simon also believes that after this public opinion turmoil, all parties will be cautious when they want to reach out to Rivne State.

Having said that, he has come to the side of the convoy.

Celia paused to talk to Sergey and finally said, "I'll go to Chengnan Villa to rest first. I'll have dinner on time in the evening. You can go and do your own business first."

The two nodded, and Sergey said again: "Celia, the batch of villas we built by the BASF Lake has been completed, and you have one, don't you plan to live there and try it?"

Celia smiled and shook her head: "No, I live in the villa in the south of the city tonight, and I will go to the manor in the north of the city tomorrow night. This is also arranged by the boss."

Both of them smiled in understanding.

This is her boss asking Celia to see if the girls are restless.

Speaking of which, for those girls, not to mention Vladimir Korkoshko who has his daughter among them, the core of the Westeros system in other Rovno states is extremely attentive. Of course, it's definitely not a matter of heart, but to avoid the coveted attention of those girls as much as possible, so as not to cause them to encounter the anger of their own boss.

After all, with their current status, there is no shortage of women, and ensuring their wealth and power comes first. And all of this came from a certain young man behind a group of girls.
