Hollywood Hunter - Chapter 1624 : Why does it have to be like this?

Simon looked at the middle-aged man on the sofa next to him, and was indeed as frank as he had predicted, even a little too frank: "You know, Vladimir, until the last moment before Boris handed over the temporary presidential position to you, I'm still hesitating, wondering if my decision is wrong, should I choose you, or should I change the direction of Russia."

The middle-aged man and Simon looked at each other with a slightly serious expression: "Simon, then, what made you make the final decision?"

Simon smiled wryly: "After reflection, I thought that maybe I lacked some adventurous spirit."

When the middle-aged man heard the words, his thoughts flew, and the answer made him a little puzzled. So he blurted out: "Adventurous?"

Simon understands the other party's doubts very well, and it is of course impossible for middle-aged people to understand the reason. Regarding Simon's subconscious hope that history is more familiar with the direction of his memory, he said: "Regarding Russia, I initially had two assumptions: first , to restore Russia's strength, so that it can be used to contain the EU, which is increasingly inclined to get rid of the United States. Second, to further dismember Russia, and then, as I have done in Ukraine at this time, through continued infiltration, open up Another piece of private territory controlled by the Westeros system."

Having said this, Simon paused for a while, noticed the slightly flickering eyes of the middle-aged man, and continued: "The key to the two choices, very simple, is people. The first way, Boris's successor must be outstanding. He also needs a certain firm position in his heart. At the same time, he must also be a pragmatic person who understands that compromises are needed when necessary. Just like I believe you definitely don’t like Boris, but for the stable handover of the Russian regime, for the sake of The amnesty decree was signed in order to avoid national unrest due to internal strife at the top.”

When the middle-aged man heard Simon say this, the corners of his mouth moved slightly and his eyes drooped slightly, but he quickly greeted him.

Simon didn't wait for the other party to say anything, and continued: "The second way is to push a mediocre, selfish person who has no firm position in his heart to the top, then I will soon get a puppet."

The middle-aged man finally spoke and retorted softly: "Simon, the second choice, I believe you won't get it so easily."

Simon shook his head slightly: "No, it's easy, Vladimir, in my opinion, Gorbachev, and Yeltsin, are all such people."

Hearing these two names, the middle-aged man was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, for the middle-aged man, having experienced everything in the past ten years, he also believed in his heart that these two people completely destroyed the Soviet Union. And the few adjectives of the young tycoon just now, even if these two people do not occupy the whole, they basically match most of them.

Look at the broken Russia, what they have done in just ten years!

The heart fluctuated, and the middle-aged man's face became more and more calm: "Simon, since you made the first choice, I think you should also understand that it is impossible for me to agree to any excessive demands of you. I will not be as you imagined. In this way, help the United States to contain Europe, and Russia will go its own way in the future.”

Unconsciously, there are still some emotions in the middle-aged man's words.

Simon picked up the coffee in front of him again, and motioned to the other party. After Gu Zi took a sip, he held the cup in his hand and watched the middle-aged man also take a few sips of coffee before continuing: "Vladimir , China, you know, I like to study Chinese culture very much, they have a very philosophical saying, called 'people are in the rivers and lakes, can't help themselves'." Simon directly inserted a sentence in Chinese, followed by Explanation: "Probably means that you are in a social environment, what you want to do and what you don't want to do are often beyond your ability to decide. Just like last year's eastward expansion of NATO, the Kosovo war and the collapse of crude oil prices, it's just that Because of the birth of the euro, this chain of events followed."

"I understand, Simon, but I'll try my best," the middle-aged man said, not wanting to bring up similar topics too much, he took the initiative: "Simon, let's talk about some substantive cooperation topics. Frankly speaking, Russia needs help now. I can also guarantee that if you are willing to invest, you can get enough returns.”

That's why the middle-aged man agreed to this meeting, he is indeed a very pragmatic person.

In Russia today, there are hundreds of wastes waiting to be rejuvenated, because the eyes are full of 'waste', and there is no sign of 'rejuvenation' at all, and the most critical thing for this country to recover is capital. It just so happens that someone is the biggest capitalist in the world. Moreover, just like China mentioned by a certain guy, if we can introduce a batch of investments in the Westeros system with great fanfare, we can also attract more international capital into Russia.

These are the urgency of Russia today.

Of course Simon understood, but shook his head: "Vladimir, what we are discussing is a very substantive issue, which is more important than me simply investing tens of billions of dollars in Russia."

The middle-aged man actually thinks that if he were to choose, he would still need tens of billions of dollars. However, since the young tycoon said so, he could only be patient and signal someone to continue.

Simon continued: "As I just said, some things cannot be chosen by a country willingly or unwillingly. The situation of Russia, from the moment the EU issued the euro, was already doomed. Because the dollar wants to maintain its own status, The euro must be suppressed. The most direct way to suppress the euro is to destabilize Europe. However, Europe and the United States have been allies for decades, and everyone is a decent person. It is impossible to do certain things explicitly. Opposition."

The middle-aged man's lips moved again, but he was silent.

Someone has made it very clear. Obviously, even if Russia doesn't want to be the villain, what you said just now is that people are in the rivers and lakes and can't help themselves.

Like last year's Kosovo.

Why did that war start?

If you suddenly went to the street and pulled some people to ask this question, probably very few people would be able to answer it right away. However, the war broke out just like that, and Yugoslavia was forced to become the villain. By analogy, the reasoning is easy to understand. Even if Russia does not want to be this villain, most likely, it will be forced to be this villain.

Noticing that the young tycoon started sipping coffee again, the middle-aged man waited for a while, but he couldn't suppress his inner emotions, but he still spoke, with a bit of sadness in his tone that he would never easily show in front of others: "Simon, why must Want this?"
