Rwandan Vice President and Defense Minister Paul Kagame's official visit to the United States began on July 8 and lasted for three days. The visit to Washington by the actual leader of Rwanda did not cause much reaction in the media. On the contrary, On the last day, he suddenly left Washington and arrived on the west coast of the United States to be a guest at Simon Westeros's Cape Dume estate, which attracted a lot of media attention.
Paul Kagame's visit to Cape Dume Manor was mainly to express his gratitude to Simon Westeros again on behalf of the Rwandan people for preventing the tragedy of the Rwanda genocide two years ago.
From the Woodfield Manor bombing to his involvement in the Rwanda war, to his subsequent assassination of an entire 'Ndrangheta family in Italy, Simon has shown all the skills he needs to show off, including these violent methods, in order to avoid certain covetous people as much as possible. meddling in the 1994 midterm elections and quietly completing the 'Sword of Damocles Plan'.
After showing the edge, it is time to restrain.
Especially as this year is still an election year in the United States, the Westeros system must keep a low profile to avoid causing backlash from all parties.
Therefore, Simon did not actually want to host Paul Kagame, an African politician, at the Point Dume estate.
After all, this really reminds too many people of too many things.
However, if there is no hospitality, it will also have certain negative effects. First of all, it will lead to speculation, has the Westeros system completely failed in its efforts in Africa? Other allies of the Westeros system may even be shaken by this, and after weighing the pros and cons, they still arranged a luncheon.
Now that it’s decided, it’s going to be lively.
By the way, a group of California celebrities and politicians were invited, and media interviews were also arranged.
Many times, the focus of the media and the public is always a bit strange. For example, everyone does not care about the content of Paul Kagame’s meeting with the president and other high-level officials in Washington, or the lunch menu when Simon Westeros entertained this African politician. But very interested.
Of course, others see more from other levels.
You know, the Rwanda War ended two years ago. Faced with many people's concerns that the Westeros system might control Rwanda, Simon chose to withdraw quite simply. It seemed that he was really a Robin Hood who only wanted to maintain justice in the world regardless of gains and losses. . Then, within two years, people even gradually forgot what the Vic private army had done in Rwanda. Some people also thought that the impact of the Westeros system on Rwanda had been minimized.
It wasn't until some time ago that the Westeros system launched an attack on France in the name of the Rwandan government, which made the Chirac authorities disgraced, that everyone realized it.
Many people also responded to this.
For example, the Dos Santos authorities in Angola expelled the arms trading team of former French President Mitterrand's son and completely switched to the Westeros system.
The sight is extremely high and far away, and it is overlooked again.
It seems that without realizing it, the powerful influence of the Westeros system has spread all over the world.
Needless to say North America.
In addition, the Westeros system has created a very strong influence in Asia, Africa, and Europe. China in Asia, Rwanda and Angola in Africa, Ukraine in Europe, and even Russia is looming for some people. This seemingly unrelated move has unknowingly begun to affect the entire chessboard pattern.
Moscow.
Yeltsin received a relevant report only the morning after hosting a luncheon at the Cape Dume Manor.
After winning the election on July 3 and being re-elected as the Russian president, Yeltsin did not feel much joy in his heart, not even relief, because the Russian head of state was in critical condition.
Yeltsin has been suffering from increasingly serious coronary heart disease since two years ago. He was secretly admitted to hospital many times, but the results were not satisfactory. In addition, in the past six months, in order to run for the election, Yeltsin had to continuously travel around Russia to canvass votes, which made his physical condition further deteriorated to the point where it was difficult to survive without surgery.
On the voting day of July 3, the public photos showed Yeltsin going to the polling station to vote for himself in person, looking calm and composed. However, outside of the public photos, he was guarding a whole medical team nearby, ready to initiate first aid to Yeltsin at any time. .
The doctor's advice was to perform surgery immediately, but Yeltsin did not dare to take this risk.
Although the success rate of the operation given by the Kremlin medical team is above 80%, it is not 100% after all. Once an accident occurs, the victory will have no meaning. Therefore, he must arrange as many things as possible to be able to Getting on the operating table is definitely not something that can be done in a day or two.
Moreover, after successfully being re-elected, the situation in Russia became even more chaotic.
At this moment, in the Kremlin's presidential office, Chubais Borisevich, who has played a key role in Russia's economic reforms in the past few years and was previously the head of the presidential campaign team, is looking through yesterday's Dome Cape estate with his hands. Luncheon information for Yeltsin to discuss top appointments for the new Russian government.
In fact, I prefer to spread the word.
The man who came to be known as the father of Russian privatization now plays a more liaison role between the Kremlin and Russia's oligarchs.
It was already difficult for Yeltsin to judge whether the other party was still loyal to him.
Moreover, judging from Chubais' report, the oligarchs were simply impatient.
"Mr. President, Mr. President?"
Sensing Yeltsin's distraction, Chubais had to raise his voice to remind him, and some imperceptible impatience flashed across his face, as if he thought Yeltsin had drunk again despite medical advice and had not yet regained consciousness.
Yeltsin looked up from the information in front of him: "Well, what did you just say?"
"About Berezovsky's desire to become prime minister," Chubais reminded.
Yeltsin shook his head slightly and then said: "So, what do you think of this matter?"
"I don't think it's appropriate," Chubais said: "Moreover, Berezovsky's request is really too much. He has no experience in governing at all. If he is placed in the position of prime minister, it will only be Russia's." disaster."
"Okay, I'll seriously consider it."
Chubais was stunned, and if he wanted to say anything else, Yeltsin had already waved his hand: "I suddenly feel a little tired, you go back first, we will talk about this in the afternoon."
Chubais was a little unwilling and continued: "In addition, Mr. President, Berezovsky is still a Jew. This is also an important reason why he is not suitable to be prime minister or even a high-level member of the Kremlin."
Yeltsin waved his hand again: "You go back first."
Seeing that Yeltsin was losing his patience, Chubais did not continue, got up and left the office silently.
When Chubais left, Yeltsin leaned back in his chair with some irritability.
With the election over, Berezovsky, Potanin and other Russian oligarchs have no intention of restraining themselves, and are blatantly and eagerly demanding various rewards from the Kremlin. Even the people around him who he once trusted, such as the one who just left, have their own little thoughts.
Yeltsin actually understood what Chubais had just said, mainly because this subordinate had already joined the Potanin family.
There is also a special mention of the Jews.
Ah.
Speaking of which, there are not many major oligarchs who are not Jewish, and Potanin is not a Jew. Yeltsin did not believe that Chubais was a nationalist and was only interested in his own interests. After all, although Potanin was not a Jew, George Soros, the biggest financial backer behind the opponent's backstage, was an obvious Jew. Chubais Si also has a very close relationship with the American financial oligarch in private.
There was a knock on the office door again. Yeltsin's second daughter Tatyana walked in, closed the door, and looked at her father sitting alone behind the large desk. Tatyana said in a very soft voice: "Dad?"
Yeltsin finally showed some smile on his face, motioned his daughter to sit down, thought for a while, and asked: "What has that person been doing recently?"
Tatyana naturally knew who her father was talking about and replied: "He is currently reorganizing the Kremlin property list."
The Kremlin is often just a code name. The Kremlin properties Tatyana mentioned are just a generalization. In addition to the palace in Moscow, which represents the center of national power, it also includes huge presidential-related properties throughout Russia and even abroad. property system.
Senior leaders of the former Soviet Union were famous for building holiday villas everywhere, and many of their assets were inherited by the Russian authorities.
Yeltsin nodded, hesitated a little, but still did not ask his daughter to summon someone.
Regarding the former deputy mayor of St. Petersburg recommended to him by Simon Westeros, Yeltsin had almost gone through the files and resume of the former deputy mayor in private. However, except for initially personally arranging for him the position of deputy director of the Presidential Affairs Bureau, this For a while, Yeltsin never showed any special treatment, and even said he was a little cold.
He is still observing.
After all, this matter is too involved. What if... a puppet of Simon Westeros is really created in the future? Even according to someone's words conveyed by his daughter, once he sits in a certain position, it is impossible to become anyone. Yeltsin also believed that this was the case, but what if
Suddenly remembering something else, Yeltsin asked: "Have you had any contact with Mikhail Friedman recently?"
After saying this, I discovered that among the seven existing oligarchs in Russia, since the election results were settled, others have begun to seek their own interests. Only the spokesperson of the Westeros system in Russia, Mikhail Fo Reedman, except for a few words at the celebration dinner after winning the election, never appeared in his sight again.
It seems to be forgotten by many people.
Tatiana was obviously very concerned about this matter, or in the final analysis, she was more concerned about a certain young man. She nodded and said: "We had contact yesterday. Mikhail is in Estonia, discussing a telecommunications cooperation project with the local people. .”
"Um?"
Tatyana explained: "Alfa Group owns a telecommunications company called Viper Communications. In addition to domestic, this telecommunications company that specializes in mobile communications business also operates in some other countries in Eastern Europe and is developing very well."
Yeltsin nodded, suddenly feeling a strong dislike for the other oligarchs.
Those people only want to embezzle their own country's assets. In contrast, the spokesperson supported by Simon Westeros is expanding outwards. It is clear who is higher and lower.
After thinking for a while, Yeltsin asked again: "Did Mikhail have any appeals regarding the privatization of Telecom Investment Co., Ltd.?"
When she secretly contacted Simon Westeros, Tatyana promised him on behalf of her father that he could get such a meeting gift, but was rejected by Simon Westeros.
Even though his daughter had explained it, Yeltsin still felt that it might be because Westeros was not optimistic about the results of this election. After all, the privatization of telecommunications was a very lucrative business, and other oligarchs with some strength were In the fight for it, the two oligarchs Berezovsky and Potanin have even started fighting over this.
Now, it happens that the Alpha Group headed by Mikhail Friedman also develops telecommunications business in Russia. It is undoubtedly appropriate to hand over this asset to the other party.
Tatiana shook her head.
Yeltsin didn't believe it: "Really?"
Tatyana also felt a little incredible and said: "I also talked about this with Mikhail, and he clearly refused because, well, he did not get the authorization from that person."
Yeltsin thought for a while and said, "I remember Cersei Capital is helping a Chinese telecommunications company conduct an overseas IPO?"
Tatyana also read this information and nodded: "Yes, this is a big deal. It is expected to raise about 4 billion US dollars."
Yeltsin thought for a moment and asked his daughter: "Tanya, do you think we can do the same thing and hand over Telecom Investment Co., Ltd. to Cersei Capital for overseas IPO operations?"
At this time, Yeltsin felt extremely disgusted with the oligarchs who surrounded the Kremlin like wild dogs.
Simon Westeros does not want the fat piece of Russia Telecom Investment Co., Ltd., but prefers to give it to the other party. For those who want it very much, Yeltsin wants to give them a carnival.
When Tatiana saw her father say these words, his face showed some strange rosiness, and she couldn't help but feel pity. She never knew the pressure brought by those oligarchs who were simply bullying others, so she stood up to defend her father. He poured a glass of mineral water and handed it over. After Yeltsin took a few sips of water and calmed down, and was about to speak, Yeltsin himself smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Forget it, let's not mention this matter again and let them fight for themselves. "
A whim is destined to be just a whim.
Even though he was very weak at this time, Yeltsin's political wisdom did not disappear.
If Simon Westeros has no problem accepting this gift, other oligarchs may resent him when faced with this reality, but in the face of the powerful strength of the Westeros system, they will most likely choose to acquiesce. . However, if Simon Westeros doesn't want it and he doesn't give it to other oligarchs, it will be like poking a hornet's nest.
