Chapter 50 (1/2)
Why were we going to Ukraine? Was it to sold weapons?
Of course not, Ukraine has a ma.s.s of weapons left by the former Soviet Union. Although in these several years the things sold were already not much, but Ukraine clearly didn't lack weapons.
Then what did they come here for? Of course to buy weapons, the previous Chen Zhang An have done lots of business in Ukraine. This time he will made use of his personal relations from the past to deal in Ukraine.
Although those people in the past maybe didn't recognize the present Chen An, but he only have to know how to made connection with one from the military and made them recognize the bank note and that was enough.
As Chen An and the others arrived in Ukraine, they directly fled from the Western Ukraine and avoid to go to Kiev as the recent chaotic situation happened in this capital city of Ukraine.
”Overall, Ukraine could be divided into two, the East and West. There are heavy industry sector bases among the Eastern Ukraine which was the left over from the Soviet Union. Most people in the Western Ukraine speak Ukrainian while the East Ukraine was exactly the opposite. Mostly influenced by the Russia, most of the people there also spoke Russian, while people in Western Ukraine were mostly European and American.”
When they were in the car there wasn't anything anyway, so Chen An casually talked to Chen Yang several things about Ukraine.
”Don't look at today's pro-Europe Ukraine's opposition who seemed to have already wielded power. As in the making for example, after they made the army to do a foolish thing, like to kneel in the mob, the domestic situation actually has become something that they couldn't control anymore. Added by Russia's coercion, their internal situation was like a mess of chaos and poverty. This time was exactly the opportune for use to take advantage of such situation where they were like fall into the abyss.”
Chen An looked out of the window as he said it. Ukraine actually has less people added by the chaos which turned it into today's situation made us we couldn't see many people even in the big street.
He remembered when Soviet Union has just disintegrated, Ukraine per capita was the same with Russia. While for the living conditions it was even better than in the Russia. However after several years pa.s.sed, Ukraine per capita didn't even come one third of Russia's.
The upper cla.s.s people busily made money. As for some ignorant civilians, they believed that screaming on the street could turn their country's fate. During the day the West side of the country gave investment, while at night went to partic.i.p.ate in the s.e.x-party. It could be said that the future of Ukraine was really dark.
