In a mountain forest and hills bordering the Ternopil Oblast in the southern part of the Rivne Oblast, in less than half a year, a brand new military base was built in the middle of this dense coniferous forest, which was born out of the Western Combat Commander The Ministry's second Ukrainian private army, the Rivni Military and Security Resources Company (RMSR), is stationed here.
The establishment is still 5,000 people.
This time they were the most elite 5,000 soldiers selected from tens of thousands of soldiers. However, compared to the UMFS, the first private army of the Westeros system in Ukraine, the problem with the RMSR is that most of the soldiers have never been on the battlefield. is a problem.
Fortunately, it can be solved quickly.
Because it does not intend to personally interfere in the affairs of Yugoslavia for the time being, and the federal government cannot completely ignore it, it has once again adopted the proxy war model. Several private armies controlled by the Westeros system have therefore been increasing their cooperation with the US authorities.
Not only that, war has also resumed in Africa, which has just subsided for a few years.
After receiving the acquiescence of all parties, Rwanda, together with several East African countries such as Uganda and Kenya, officially launched an attack on the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the near future. In order to ensure the interests of Western countries, private mercenaries will also play a great role in the melee in the next few years. room.
Speaking of which, the war in Africa is largely due to the Asian financial crisis that gradually spread across the world last year. Just like after the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, Africa, which had not been peaceful for many years, also set off a crisis. All kinds of riots.
At the just past G8 summit, the G8 statement solemnly stated that the purpose of promoting global integration is to create benefits for developing countries. The fact is that globalization only makes it easier for strong Western economies to harvest other weak countries. The one who benefits from this is definitely not just the United States, which has the hegemony of the US dollar. Everything else is the same. The only difference is how much.
In short, it is certainly impossible for Simon to raise 5,000 men for nothing. After half a year of reorganization and training, this private army will soon be mobilized for actual combat.
Simon arrived at the base in the afternoon and spent two hours walking around the base in detail. Finally, he arrived at the largest training ground in the base, where 5,000 people were already waiting in line.
Stepping onto the stage that had been set up in advance, Simon, who was wearing camouflage, glanced at the people in the audience and said slowly: "Perhaps, a few of you are still a little confused until now. Who do you think you are now? Who do you serve? Who are you protecting?"
After Simon said these words, most of the soldiers in the audience still looked cold and solemn, but there were also some people who showed obvious changes in their expressions.
Vasily Borisov, the commander of Ukraine's Western Combat Command who followed Simon to the podium, was a little surprised at first when he heard what Simon said, because Simon said that if the circle does not come back, the consequences will be very bad, but then, Thinking back to the process of being persuaded by this young man with just a few words, I quickly felt relieved.
After Simon finished speaking, he paused for a moment before continuing: "Human beings are a group-based creature. The key to the reason why our ancestors have been able to overcome the many obstacles that nature has brought to us in the past tens of millions of years and reach the present is that With this kind of group nature, a single human individual, no matter how outstanding it is, cannot accomplish anything.”
"Some people will wonder, why am I saying this?"
"It's very simple."
"I'm explaining the question just now and the confusion you may have in your mind."
"Now, you are working for me, and there is nothing to hide from this matter, because from the moment you join RMSR, your salary, the benefits you enjoy, including the better society your family gets as a family member of the Wei Family Private Army The treatment is all provided by me.”
"However, you are not just working for me either."
"I just said that no matter how outstanding one person is, it is impossible to accomplish everything. Therefore, I need your help, and you, from the moment you join RMSR, already belong to a brand new group. I named this group Westerosian, Westeros. Yes, this is an extension of my personal surname, and I have this qualification. At the same time, you being selected also shows that you are good enough. In my personal philosophy, only people who are good enough, Only then can one be qualified to become a Westerosian."
"What I can promise is that as a Westerosi, I will give you and your families everything that is better than others around you, but at the same time, you must also pay your loyalty to this collective. , give your faith and, if necessary, your life.”
"Yes, including life."
"Because you are soldiers."
"In the traditional concept, the education you received is that the duty of soldiers is to protect the country. What you want to protect is actually a collective. Similarly, here, you also need to fight for the interests of the Westerosian collective, because this collective Among them, it is not only me, but also you and your family. You have to fight for me, because I have given you all this. At the same time, you are also fighting for yourself, because if you want to protect everything you have obtained, you must fight for me. You must fulfill your duties as soldiers."
"Now, tell me, are you willing to fight for this?"
Offstage.
There was only a brief pause, and then 5,000 people roared in unison and firmly: "Yes!!!"
Deafening.
Until he and Simon boarded the Mi-26 heavy helicopter returning to the city of Rivni, Vasily Borisov was still shocked by the scene on the training ground.
Since the RMSR was established at the beginning of the year, the team here has been brainwashing the recruited soldiers. However, as Simon said when he first came to power, even after accepting the change in identity, many soldiers are still inevitably confused in their mentality. It is almost inevitable to throw away everything you have been taught and become a private soldier, and to be confused about why you are fighting and who you are fighting for.
What Simon just said was very straightforward, but it also gave a very clear answer to the 5,000 people on the training ground.
Frankly speaking, Vasily Borisov envied a certain answer.
Even as a theater commander, he never dared to have the idea of letting his soldiers fight for him.
Simon Westeros said it so frankly.
As for the collective or even for oneself, this is more of an incidental thing.
The problem is that it is obvious that the 5,000 soldiers on the training ground did not feel disgusted by this. Instead, they took it for granted under the indoctrination from Westeros. Perhaps, this can only be regarded as the reason why human beings are born with the nature of submitting to the strong.
Simon Westeros, in every aspect, is undoubtedly the most powerful person in the world at the moment.
Two Mi-24 armed helicopters escorted Simon's Mi-26 and soon arrived at a helipad on the bank of Basv Lake in the south of Rivni City. Everyone got off the helicopter and said goodbye to Vasily Borisov, and Simon got on again. Meet yourself in a black Mercedes sedan.
This place is only a few hundred meters away from Simon's mansion on the bank of BASF Lake, and he quickly returned to his residence.
Eve Besonoskova and several maids came out in advance, apparently because they saw a helicopter formation landing not far away.
Simon started from here today and first flew to the UFMS base 80 kilometers away from Rivni in the north of Rivne Oblast. He then returned in the afternoon and rushed to the RMSR base 35 kilometers south of Rivni. The flight distance was more than 200 kilometers. Don't mention the specific schedule. Even if Simon is energetic enough, he will inevitably be tired at this time.
Therefore, when returning to the residence here, the first thing to do is to go to the luxurious underground swimming pool under the villa and take a comfortable hot bath.
Of course it's still very fragrant.
It's just that Simon is still addicted to abstinence and still doesn't do anything.
The sky is very long in Ukraine in summer, but after taking a bath and having dinner, it is still dark outside.
Still no free time.
In the evening, Sergey Komorov held a small cocktail party in his mansion. Komorov's mansion was also near Lake Basf, not too far away.
When Simon arrived, the drinking party here had already started for some time.
In addition to Simon, there were two other important guests at the cocktail party, Viktor Pinchuk, the son-in-law of Ukrainian President Leon Kuchma, and Viktor Yushchenko, the governor of the National Bank of Ukraine.
Compared with Yeltsin who wanted to send his daughter to see him but was unable to do so, in Ukraine, Simon did not reject the approach of the Kiev authorities. The reason why the two of them appeared here, like Yeltsin, was that they hoped that Simon could take action to stabilize Ukraine's domestic economy.
In fact, compared to Russia's shaky situation, the situation in Ukraine is not too bad because of the large bets on the Westeros system.
The only problem is that Simon has put most of the resources invested in Ukraine in the Rivne Oblast. At most, some surrounding states and counties will get some soup. As a result, capital giants such as Soros will only transfer them to Ukraine. The money was pressed down on Rivne, and the result was that the drought-stricken areas died of drought, and the water-logged areas... well, not water-logged at all, but extremely moist.
The purpose of Pinchuk's visit this time is very simple, that is, he hopes that Simon can allocate certain resources to other regions of Ukraine. At the worst, he must always get some benefits for Kiev as the capital.
Simon agreed to meet Pinchuk through this cocktail party at Komorov's house. In fact, he had already made up his mind, otherwise he would not show up.
This is also something that has been discussed in advance.
The center of operations of the Westeros system in Ukraine must be the Rivne Oblast, and this will not change for at least the next ten years. However, as the foundation here becomes more and more solid, it is actually necessary to release some resources.
This is the reason why we have gradually cooperated with several neighboring counties in Rivne Oblast in the field of electricity.
Same thing this time.
Simon had already agreed on a plan with the Rivne Gang team in advance, mainly to support the supporting industry chain of the Rivni OEM industry in some important Ukrainian cities such as Kiev.
For example, the electronic product factories that are constantly increasing their presence in Rivni include Nokia mobile phones, Tinco Bayer's iPlayer, iRec, etc. According to the plan, around 2000, Simon plans to increase the scale of Rivni's electronic foundry to an annual output. The volume of 100 million units, even if it is the total of 100 million units of mobile phones, digital players, digital cameras and other products, is still a very scary number.
It may be added in the future.
Based on Ukraine's level of technological development, core components such as mobile phone chips and digital camera lenses will definitely not be manufactured, and Simon will not allow them to do so. However, for the more peripheral ones, such as packaging boxes, product casings and even some low-tech accessories, it is definitely more cost-effective to produce them directly in Ukraine than to import them.
Just like China later, one Apple led to countless supporting manufacturers and millions of jobs.
In Ukraine, Simon hopes to achieve the same goal in the next few years.
China's economy is too huge. Even if it creates millions of jobs and countless supporting manufacturers, Apple still cannot play a decisive role. However, in Ukraine, especially in Ukraine where the economy is poor and politically turbulent, if manufacturers such as Nokia and Tinkerber of the Westeros system can control millions of jobs and a series of supporting industry chains, they will basically be able to It's like taking control of this country.
This is the ultimate form of economic penetration.
Then again, with more support, Ukraine's economy will inevitably surpass what it once was, perhaps even by a lot. What Simon also has to do is to suppress possible industrial upgrading in Ukraine and keep it at the level of primary OEM development.
Victor Pinchuk really didn’t expect that this trip to Rivni would be so smooth. Even if Simon’s promise would not be effective in the short term, in fact, the problem itself is that as long as Simon makes a promise, for Ukraine In other words, it is equivalent to a super benefit.
Whether it was Southeast Asia at the beginning or Eastern Europe today, a big reason for the outbreak of the financial crisis is panic. Capital lost confidence in the region's economy and fled one after another, resulting in a stampede effect, and the whole place was devastated.
Now that Simon Westeros is optimistic about a country's economy, there is no need for other capitals to panic and choose their own path.
If the sky falls, someone high must be holding it up.
At the cocktail party at Komorov's house, Simon and Pinchuk discussed and finalized their ideas, and basically there was nothing else to do.
I only chatted casually with Victor Yushchenko, who came with me this time, and seemed unfamiliar.
Of course this is not the case.
The next morning, when Simon was sitting in the shade of BASF Lake having breakfast, Yushchenko appeared again, along with Tymoshenko who came over again in private. After receiving Simon's funds, a certain woman stabilized her business and is now considering taking advantage of the bottom of Ukraine's economy to expand.
This woman was able to put the shelf on the carpet next to Simon's big bed where the cat slept like a cat last night, and Simon no longer refused to cultivate her more.
This breakfast was a personal reminder of the follow-up strategies of the two people who had already cooperated tacitly.
Not surprisingly, as the governor of Ukraine's central bank and with apparent support from the United States, after Yushchenko successfully stabilized Ukraine's economy this year, he hopes to become prime minister next year after Kuchma is re-elected, and even go one step further.
Simon asked the other party not to be too hasty.
So does a certain woman.
Eagerness for quick success actually means that the foundation is shallow and cannot withstand any storms.
Therefore, Simon asked Yushchenko to take at most one deputy prime minister position next year, keep a low profile and accumulate strength.
There is another woman who should not stretch her hands so far. If she tries to touch the energy or steel industries that have been divided up, she will only be disappointed. It just so happens that Simon plans to build a supporting industrial chain in Ukraine. This is an industry that can quickly Build up strength without having to worry about being targeted.
