Chapter 1060 (1/2)
On November 11, in the new week, the vogue topic triggered by the Vimy show is still going on. For groups concerned about global current affairs and politics, in addition to the waves of last week's U.S. election, a big political melon surrounding Ukraine seems to suddenly burst out.
On the morning of that day, several influential newspapers in the United States, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times, reported on the assassination of yef sherban, an entrepreneur in Donetsk state and an important figure of the Ukrainian Liberal Party, on November 9 local time.
Although different newspapers reported the incident from different angles and did not name names, they all criticized the deteriorating business environment and the increasingly sharp partisan struggle in Ukraine.
Then, at the White House press conference that morning, in the face of reporters' questions, the White House spokesman also expressed concern about the incident and expressed concern about Ukraine's promotion of democratization and the 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 economic development of the country, but also brought millions of jobs to the country, the White House spokesman called on the Kiev authorities to take measures to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of overseas investors.
It's more than that.
On the same day, Russia's ”news”, ”Pravda”, ”Russian daily” and other important newspapers also reported on the sherban assassination, as well as the same concerns from the Kremlin.
The two big brothers spoke at the same time about the same incident. It was hoped that the assassination cases limited in Ukraine would be known all over the world immediately. No one is stupid enough to think that the United States and Russia will speak out of a sense of justice or superficial reasons, so they follow up one after another. In addition, the industrially developed and resource rich region of eastern Ukraine is a hot spot that many people pay close attention to, and Donetsk immediately becomes the focus of the media of all countries.
Kiev, Ukraine.
On the second day when things began to ferment, Pavlo razarenko, who had no rest all night last night, rushed to the presidential palace after receiving the notice. As soon as he entered the office, Leon Kuchma smashed a pile of newspaper copies and roared.
”Fool, look what you've done. Now the whole world is watching us! Just now, the representative of the International Monetary Fund also called me and said that he might review the loan funds given to us next year. Do you know what chain reaction will be caused if this matter is not handled properly, you son of a bitch! ”
Lazarenko couldn't avoid it. He made a fist subconsciously. Seeing Kuchma staring at him fiercely behind his desk, he had to adjust his mood quickly and said, ”Leon, I don't quite understand what you're saying...”
With the end of the word, a coffee cup has come again.
Lazarenko barely dodged this time, but he was splashed with juice. He wiped his skirt in embarrassment and depressed his anger again. Finally, he said, ”I mean, someone is aiming at me.”
”The blind can see it,” Leon Kuchma said sternly. ”I'll ask you now, how do you plan to end it?”
”I have Well, no one will find the killers anyway. ”
Kuchma picked up another folder and threw it over, scolding: ”so you are a fool. 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. I'll give you a week to finish this case. Besides, don't reach out to Donetsk any more, including the whore beside you. You all give me some restraint, or I'll let you get out of the prime minister's position. ”
“……”
”Fool, did you hear what I said?”
Lazarenko gritted his teeth and finally said, ”I see, Leon.”
”Call me Mr. President later.”
Lazarenko felt a chill in his heart. Kuchma didn't care about him any more. He hesitated for a moment and finally nodded: ”yes, Mr. President.”
”Go away, remember, you only have one week.”
But razarenko didn't go. After all, he couldn't help but ask, ”lie Mr. President, I still want to know who is targeting me? ”
”Get out of here.”
When Lazarenko left, the angry Leon Kuchma leaned back on the leather chair and calmed down for a while.
However, thinking about the continuous communication with the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine and IMF representatives in the morning, I still feel 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 can't stand the big waves.
I didn't expect that the right arm I once relied on would dig such a big basket for myself.
Leon Kuchma is actually very clear about Lazarenko and the woman around him. But now in Ukraine, frankly speaking, the eldest brother is not laughing at the second brother. Everyone is like this, and he has no position to be too strict about it. However, after experiencing this incident and looking at what razarenko has done in recent years, Kuchma gradually reflects that his former allies, both ambition and strength, are increasing rapidly.If this continues, with reference to this year's Russian general election, Lazarenko and Tymoshenko can be regarded as the perfect combination of politics and business. Who can guarantee that Lazarenko will follow suit in three years? He will be replaced by the prime minister in 1994?
At first, there was some hesitation. Suddenly, Kuchma finally made up his mind to take La zarenko.
However, because Lazarenko's foundation has been established, it is not easy.
To sort out his mind again, Kuchma pressed the call button on his desktop and asked his secretary to call his son-in-law. When Victor pinchuk came in, Kuchma didn't talk too much nonsense and said, ”Victor, go to livney immediately and try out what Simon vistrow really wants to do.”
When Victor pinchuk heard the words, he was acutely connected with something: ”Leon, do you mean that the disturbance caused by the Donetsk incident was promoted by westero?”
Leon Kuchma nodded. When he met with the U.S. ambassador, the other side didn't hide this, but the ambassador didn't know the deeper story. Kuchma knew at first that he could not avoid anger in his heart. He just calmed down and found that he had to deal with it seriously.
After all, the current strength of the westero system is too huge. In the state of Rovno, the Rovno Gang backed by the westero system has become the same force. Recently, with the completion of the Ukrainian Parliamentary Election Bill, the ”Ukrainian Progressive Alliance Party” has been registered and established there to promote economic development and improve people's living standards, obviously pointing to next year's Ukraine Parliamentary elections.
Although the Rovno Gang clearly stands on his side and can be called an ally, deep down in his heart, Kuchma is far more afraid of the Rovno Gang than relying on it.
It is an instinctive thought that no one can sleep soundly on the side of the couch, let alone the head of a state. What's more, the strength of the westero system is so strong that Kuchma is not sure whether he can Parry once the other side changes sides.
Just like this time, it was a surprise attack. Even if he knew that it was not aimed at himself, Kuchma was more afraid.
Unfortunately, Leon Kuchma knows that his current position is not as stable as a rock. He is not only surrounded by Lazarenko, who is a potential opponent with a clear mind. Relying on Donetsk Gang, who has a rapid industrial foundation in eastern Ukraine, he is also eyeing the power of Kiev.
At this time, if they fall out with the help of Rovno, their opponents will probably wake up in a dream.
Since it is impossible to turn over, of course, efforts should be made to maintain this relationship.
