Inside the Kremlin, President Vladimir is reading documents.
During the period after the coup, Vladimir relied on the support of the military and his original power to carry out a large-scale purge, and a large number of oligarchs who plundered huge wealth in the disintegration of the Red Empire and their political level All spokespersons and partners were sent to prison.
This series of cleansing has won the strong support of the Russian people at the bottom, and the support for Vladimir has been unprecedentedly strengthened.
However, in the cheers, they did not notice that after these oligarchs and politicians were overthrown and purged, the plundered wealth did not return to the hands of the country, but flowed into the hands of another group of people in a more secretive manner. .
This is a necessary exchange.
If Vladimir wants to secure his current position, he must pay a price.
If the original Vladimir still had patriotic convictions, now this evil spirit who is only wearing Vladimir's skin is a complete pragmatist. As long as he can sit firmly in this position, he can trade everything for a price.
The military supports him to sit on the throne of the presidency. Perhaps the overall belief is to save the country, but the individual, especially those high-ranking generals, must have more specific interests to appease.
It is not enough just to promote the status, and it needs to have enough economic benefits to be satisfied.
In order to sell the neutrals and swingers in the Red Square, a lot of effort is also certain.
When the Russian people at the bottom were cheering for the cleansing of the new government, those massive wealth was nothing more than a new owner. The nature of the country has not been substantially changed, and the oligarchs still control the country, only in form. It has become more secretive.
But Vladimir didn't care about these.
He only cares whether his task can be completed perfectly.
He still doesn't know the changes in the Yinshan Ghost Sea, and he is still working diligently to clean up Dassok from Russia thousands of miles away.
This is a rather trivial task.
Dassock has penetrated into all aspects of Russia. To completely eliminate this organization, it cannot be resolved by a stormy sports coup, and more work must be done on weekdays.
To achieve this, one must firmly control the Russian regime and achieve centralization that Yelic could not achieve. If you want to achieve centralization, you have to spend more energy on this, which in turn is inevitable. Affect the work of removing Dassock.
Vladimir felt that it would be impossible to accomplish this task without three or five years.
After having this understanding, he simply let go of his mind, first focused on cleansing and consolidating power, first lay the foundation, and then completely solved Dassok's problem.
However, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, some worried that Zhou Yang could not understand his approach, would misunderstand his indulging in the power of the world and forget his fundamental mission.
So when Zhou Yang suddenly appeared in the office, when Vladimir stood up in a panic, he almost didn't fall directly behind the chair.
"Zhou, Mr. Zhou, why are you here?"
While saying hello, Vladimir quickly organized words in his heart. If Zhou Yang blamed him, he would be able to defend as completely as possible.
Zhou Yang looked around this famous office.
He had never been here in his previous life, but he had seen it on TV news and still had some impressions, so he was able to teleport over directly.
"Yes, it looks like you, the president, did a good job."
According to the original history, Vladimir will not be able to enter the Kremlin a few years later, and it will take nearly ten years to achieve a stable position.
But now, not only does Vladimir take over in advance, but his position and power are far from comparable in his previous life.
All of this was brought by him.
Zhou Yang was a little emotional.
This is one of the iron proofs that he changed history.
It is also one of the evidences that he can change the established destiny.
But Vladimir would be wrong about Zhou Yang’s meaning and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Zhou, listen to me, I am not obsessed with this kind of unnecessary power in the world. I just need to mobilize a bigger force to clear Dashok. Strength, I can only..."
"Well, you did a good job. Keep working hard. I'm not here to ask the teacher." Zhou Yang waved his hand and interrupted Vladimir. "I am going to the Greater Caucasus Mountains. It is said that there is a Very unusual ruins, do you have any relevant information here?"
"Please wait!" Vladimir breathed a sigh of relief, hurried to the table, picked up the phone and dialed.
Ten minutes later, someone brought a thick stack of files.
A KGB colonel gave an explanation on the spot.
This stack of files is all about some bizarre events deep in the Greater Caucasus Mountains.
Located in the northern part of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, there is an area of about 300 kilometers in radius, shrouded in dense clouds and fog all the year round, even spy satellites cannot capture anything under the clouds and fog.
The locals call it the realm of death, and anyone who enters that area will never come back alive.
In the Red Empire, in order to find out the situation in the realm of death, a regiment of mountain infantry was sent for in-depth investigation. As a result, after the entire group of men and horses entered the realm of death, they all lost contact and never came out.
The simple and rude Maozi naturally couldn't tolerate such out-of-control areas in the territory, and immediately threw a small nuclear bomb down.
But the nuclear bomb went in and there was still no sound.
In the end, the Russian government could only pinch its nose and admit that such a piece of land that could not be investigated clearly existed on its own territory.
This area is located deep in the Greater Caucasus Mountains. There is basically no road to go through. The nearest village is also 500 kilometers away. The mountain infantry in the past entered the mountain by building bridges all the way.
Before entering, the infantry regiment built a camp outside the realm of death, which can take off and land helicopters.
As for the specific photo information, there is nothing at all.
It is said that someone tried to take pictures of the scene of death from outside, but the photos they got back were all blank without exception.
"The state of death, let me take a look."
Zhou Yang felt that there was probably the place Shi Changsheng had been to where he finally betrayed the plane manager.
Since Zhou Yang had this wish, Vladimir did not dare to delay the slightest, and immediately arranged to send Zhou Yang to the nearest military base by military plane, and then transfer to a helicopter to fly to the camp outside the dead.
When Zhou Yang sat down on the helicopter to observe the camp, which had been abandoned for many years, he was surprised to find that there were people in the camp.
And it's not just one or two, but a lot of people, and there are hundreds of them.
Dressed in a variety of styles, they seemed to be civilians, but these civilians all held similarly shaped short sticks in their hands.
Staff.
What they held was a staff.
These are all mages.
A bright red flag hung in the center of the camp with a hideous beast head painted on it.
"This is an organization of wizards, called Beast God." The accompanying officer said loudly, "They came here suddenly half a month ago, saying they wanted to capture an unprecedented strange beast, and stayed there until now. There are more and more people, but I haven't seen what they do."
This situation was not provided by Vladimir.
Or Vladimir and his KGB didn't know the specific situation here.
Zhou Yang thought to himself that Vladimir's position didn't seem to be as stable as it seemed, and his control of the army was not as solid as he thought.
This mage organization named Beast God can gather and do things in abandoned barracks under the eyes of the army. If the local garrison has no knowledge at all, it doesn't make sense, and the officer accompanying it can't directly introduce the situation.
The large-scale gathering in the abandoned military barracks of the army, and it is still such a mysterious and sensitive area, the army has not had any response, which in itself is a strange thing.
We must know that all the small countries around the Greater Caucasus are fighting for independence, especially Chechnya, where various paramilitary operations are becoming more frequent.
This area is close to the Chechnya and Russian garrison. As a result, so many people gathered together, but the local garrison did not take precautions at all. It sounds unbelievable.
The helicopter hovering in the air attracted the attention of the mages in the camp.
They pointed in the air one after another, and others ran into the barracks quickly.
Soon a big beard wearing a white robe with gold rims ran out of the barracks, frowned and looked at the helicopter. With a sudden wave of his staff, the whole person turned into a cloud of smoke and rose up, and he appeared in the helicopter the next moment.
The smoke cleared, and the beard sat next to Zhou Yang, leaning on his staff and looking at the accompanying officer, and said loudly: "I think we have already negotiated with General Ivanovich, three million dollars for a year? Can’t even buy the free time for him? Or does he think he wants to raise the price? Please tell General Ivanovich that we must know that enough is enough. We are willing to pay not because we are afraid of him, but because we want to To reduce troubles and save more time on business. But if General Ivanovich is not satisfied and wants more unreasonable demands, then we can only regret to tell him that this is impossible."
The bearded man's attitude is not very good, he looks sulky.
However, the officer accompanying him didn't care about his emotions at all, and didn't seem to hear his complaints. He simply said: "Master Asapov, this is Mr. Zhou from Moscow. I was just ordered to send him over. I don’t care about other things. You don’t have to complain to us. Three million dollars is a lot? If you don’t have our permission, do you think you can just stay in this kind of military power? I have to remind you one more thing. , The general leased this place to you for one year, but not to you. We have the right to come here and also have the right to let you leave early, so pay attention to your attitude."
The beard glared at the officer, squeezing the staff in his hand and rattling it.
However, the officer directly regarded him as air, and he turned his head and said to Zhou Yang: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Zhou, I can only send you here. The situation has changed too much and there is no way to land. I will give you a rope. , You climb the rope and land."
"No!" The bearded objectioned loudly, "I don't care who he is, he can't enter our camp. We have been preparing for so long. Once he enters, it will easily destroy our preparations and lead to capture work. Completely invalid!"
"You can't object to this. This is the will of the Kremlin. Master Asapov, I have to remind you that even if you are a mage, you are a powerful organization. Please converge a little. Now it's no better than before. Don't I thought the mage organization could walk sideways. Could you be stronger than Dassoc? Dassoc was completely washed out. Believe me, if the one in the Kremlin gets angered, what kind of beasts, gods, birds and gods? , All will be ruthlessly wiped out!"
The accompanying officer turned his head to Zhou Yang and said, "Mr. Zhou, what do you need?"
Zhou Yang shook his head, got up and walked to the cabin door, and jumped down.
The accompanying officer was taken aback, and almost jumped off.
Fortunately, he reined in time.
Because he saw Zhou Yang, who had jumped off the cliff, landed safely, lightly, as if wearing an invisible parachute.
"It turned out to be a mage too!" The bearded Asapov couldn't help but mumble, and ignored the accompanying officer. With a wave of his staff, it once again turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared into the helicopter, and then appeared next to Zhou Yang. "Mage from the East, what do you want to do when you come here? It's not suitable for you to appear here. You should leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, wait for the monster to appear for a while and you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
"Monster? There will be monsters in it?" Zhou Yang was a little suspicious, "Is it self-grown in the forest?"
"It has nothing to do with you." The bearded Asapov said displeasedly. "This is the beast god who is doing business. The Xian Za Mage should stay away. Don't delay things!"
"I'm not interested in monsters and monsters, I just want to come..."
Before Zhou Yang had finished speaking, he heard an angry roar from the forest in the realm of death ahead.
The heavy footsteps rolled against the ground like muffled thunder.
The sound of trees breaking and falling continuously from far to near.
There was an earth-shaking howl, and a black shadow rushed out of the forest like lightning and rushed straight into the camp.
"The target appears, get ready!"
The bearded Asapov immediately ignored Zhou Yang, holding up his staff and shouting loudly, rushing to the dark shadow with his robe, and banging against the dark shadow.
The mages who had been lazily resting in the camp jumped up, no matter how old they were, they ran to where they should be in a very agile posture.
In the blink of an eye, a magic circle was finished.
The mages raised their staffs aloud and chanted spells.
Rays of light projected from the top of the staff, intertwined into a large shining net above the black shadow.
The web of light immediately fell, covering the shadows in it! (End of this chapter)
