v4 Chapter 10 - complex relationship
? Looking at the short, bloated middle-aged man in front of him, Guo Shouyun felt that his brain was a little short-circuited. /wTo be honest, he couldn’t see even the slightest trace of Yolinin from this middle-aged man. There was no similarities between the father and son at all. What is especially unacceptable is that the kind of smile on this middle-aged man’s face can only make Guo Shouyun think of one word, and that is “wretched”, extremely wretched, like such a wretched salty and wet uncle, could it be that? Lieutenant General Bisef, the commander of the 45th Mechanized Army in the Far East Military Region who dared to sing opposite General Tretyak?
“Judging people by their appearance, the lost son Yu.” Today, Guo Shouyun has a deeper understanding of this sentence.
In fact, to be honest, it’s not that Guo Shouyun’s vision is wrong, because from the history of his beginnings, Lieutenant General Bisef cannot be regarded as a genuine general. He should be said to be the same type of person as Yakov. Bisef attended the Churkin espionage school as a young man, where he was a top student, and served in the European branch of the Security Council for a long time after graduation. Bisef officially turned from the Security Committee to the military exhibition after the “Prague Spring” incident in 1968. His outstanding performance and ruthless style in the incident were popular with Pavlo, the commander-in-chief of the 6th Soviet Army at that time. Admiral of General Vsky, and thus transferred from the Security Council, directly into the army.
From the 1970s to the present, in just 20 years, Bisef has been able to fly in the army. A man who has never commanded a war has gone from an ordinary middle-aged man in 20 years. The school has been promoted all the way to a lieutenant general with real power. From this point of view alone, Bisef’s flexibility cannot help but make people feel admirable.
In fact, from the moment he entered the door, Bisef had been secretly observing Guo Shouyun. In his opinion, there seemed to be nothing special about this unremarkable Chinese young man in his thirties. However, Bisef is very clear that people can’t just look at appearance. He knows that this young man surnamed Guo is definitely not as simple as he looks. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to make such a short time. He also pulled the safety committee into his circle of interests.
“Oh, General, it’s nice to meet you,” Guo Shouyun was a little surprised after listening to Yolinin’s introduction, but he quickly adjusted his mind. He stretched out his arm and shook hands with Bisef, smiling all over his face. said.
“Hehe, Shouyun is too polite,” Bisef’s tone sounded very easy-going, he took Guo Shouyun’s hand and smiled, “I have heard Serge mention you more than once during this time. According to him, Shouyun Yun, you can be one of my son’s few friends. Well, in that case, if you don’t object to Shouyun, then you might as well call me uncle.”
“Uncle,” Guo Shouyun was also polite, he knew that this was the other party’s approach.
“Brother Shouyun,” after introducing his father, Yolinin pulled Guo Shouyun in front of another middle-aged man and said with a smile, “This, this is Mr. Thompson, a friend my father met in Prague back then. , well, he is now chairman of the Khabarovsk ‘Catholic Charity Foundation’.”
“Oh, Mr. Thompson turned out to be a philanthropist,” Guo Shouyun immediately understood the true identity of the chairman of the so-called “Catholic Charity Foundation”, but he still shook hands with the other person calmly, and laughed at the same time, “But It is a pity that I am not religious, I only believe in Keynes.”
“Hehe, Mr. Guo, let’s get in touch more when we have a chance, because I’m not religious, and I’m also an admirer of Keynes.” Thompson was very direct, and he didn’t hide his identity.
In fact, in today’s Soviet Union, there are countless “Christian charitable foundations” and “Catholic charitable foundations”. These foundations are under the guise of charity and religion, but behind the scenes are An important sector for the Soviet opposition and radicals to provide political funding. The source of funds for these foundations is not so-called charitable donations. Their funds are all funded by the governments of Western countries. To put it bluntly, these foundations are an important tool for the peaceful evolution of the Soviet Union by Western countries.
“Come on, sit down, let’s sit down and talk,” a general with real power, a representative of a Western tool for peaceful evolution, when these two figures appeared in front of him at the same time, Guo Shouyun wanted to know what they needed to cooperate with him. . Very politely let everyone sit down in front of the sand, Guo Shouyun said to his brother, “Shoucheng, go and make a few cups of coffee.”
Guo Shoucheng nodded, turned and walked towards the wine cabinet in the hall.
“No need,” Yolinin waved his hand, stopped Guo Shoucheng, and said at the same time, “Brother Shouyun, we can’t sit for a long time today, we must leave immediately after we have finished talking about the business, otherwise, it will be of no benefit to you or us. .”
“Oh, what, Serge, are you in a bad situation now?” Guo Shouyun asked in surprise.
Yorinin hesitated, as if he had some concerns in his heart. He glanced at Bisef and seemed to be waiting for his father’s instructions.
“Let’s talk, Shouyun is not an outsider, and what’s more, our current situation is almost known to everyone, there is no need to hide anything.” Bisef looked a little absent-minded, he looked at the man who stuck his head out from behind the sand. Victor, said casually.
With his father’s permission, Yolinin no longer hesitated, he said bluntly: “Brother Shouyun, you must have guessed that my father and I have always supported radical reformers in terms of political views, but not only that. , we are also members of ‘Democratic Russia’.”
Guo Shouyun nodded and didn’t interrupt, he had already guessed what Yolinin said now.
“It is precisely because of our differences in political factions that our father and son have always been excluded from the Far East Military Region,” Yolinin continued, “but on the one hand, because of my father’s wide network of contacts, the military region has concerns about us, and on the other hand On the one hand, because the 45th Army is relatively independent financially, the military region has nothing to do with us.”
“Financial independence?” Guo Shouyun finally heard something interesting. He thought that the cooperation that Yolinin needed this time should be based on this.
“Yes, just like the cooperation between you and the 16th Division, Shouyun, our 45th Army has always been receiving financial assistance from Mr. Thompson, and the funds he provided us are the main source of military expenditure for the 45th Division. ‘ said Yolinin.
“Oh,” Guo Shouyun snorted and fell silent again. He pondered, it was no wonder that Jolinin had never asked him for funds. It turned out that there was a foundation behind them.
“Sherge, I don’t understand. Since your finances are relatively independent, you still seek cooperation from me. What can I do for you?” Guo Shouyun said after thinking for a while.
“Shouyun,” Bisef finally spoke, he said, “for you, the help we need is not in money, but in your relationship network, especially between you and Yakov. Relationships, that’s what we need most right now.”
“Yakov?” Guo Shouyun said stunned, he wondered how Yakov was involved with the 45th Army.
“Yes, it’s Yakov, the newly appointed chairman of the safety committee, who is taking a knife on us,” Yorinin said with a wry smile, “if we can’t stop him, we will be in forty-five episodes later. It’s been a sad day.”
Guo Shouyun looked at Yolinin, then at Bisef, and finally turned his attention to Thompson with a bitter face. He quickly understood that it seemed that the place where Yakov really moved should not be the 45th Army, but Thompson’s “Christian Charity Foundation”, which was the weakness of Bisef and his son, and also Yakov. A place within the husband’s purview that can be directly touched.
