Chapter 510: The Story of the Past and the Present
Hou Dasheng roughly understood what the old man and his former companions were doing. In fact, he was also curious. The strongman from Moscow came online too suddenly, and he appeared too suddenly. But everything he did seemed so logical.
The drastic cross-cutting and slashing to cut the obstacles seemed to be no longer obstacles all of a sudden. The mountain that once stood in front of him gave way of its own accord. From the inexplicable abdication of the president, who single-handedly pushed for the death of the Soviet Union, to the outbreak of the Second Grozny War. Including the disposition of the untouchable oligarchs......
All this has been reasonably explained. He wasn't fighting alone. Behind him was the most powerful force in the former Empire's hideaways. With the support of this force, he was able to step by step from a city-level economic management official to the throne in Moscow.
It's hard to return. This was brought up by the old man. This is also the truest portrayal of the Soviet Union at that time. There are many internal factions and contradictions, and there is overwhelming pressure from the outside. Deeply involved in several wars in Africa and the Middle East, there is a tendency to manufacture large-scale armaments and almost no civilian use...... If it's just a few, it's okay to solve.
But when it all came together, and after decades a lot of things had become entrenched, it became almost impossible to clean it up. It was at this time that many of the member states began to drift away from Germany. Huge foreign aid and wars have caused the country to continue to bleed for a long time.
In short, at that time, these old people already knew in their hearts that it would be very difficult for the country to continue. And one of the biggest reasons is that the middle and grassroots are separated from the top. In the top of the company, the core is scattered due to various factional strife and mountain problems.
"Actually, there's nothing more that can't be said now." In front of the picture, the old man's face was full of wrinkles and old age spots trembling slightly: "This plan is called 'hibernation'." We don't know if the giant red bear will wake up after hibernation. Maybe wake up, it's not the red bear anymore. But at least...... He would be a Slavic bear. β
Hou Dasheng lowered his head and did not speak. Maybe it wasn't the best way to go, but it was the only way they could think of it at the time.
"In fact, we were divided into two factions at the time. One group of people thought that if the suicide of the fool with the scar on his head was ended, then the Soviet Union would be saved. That's how that happened in August. The old man said, a sneer on his face: "Obviously, they failed. Fortunately, these people are not too stupid, and after knowing that they will fail, they decisively hand over what they have at their disposal to us. At least that way, the fire can still be kept with us. β
The two poles of the world had suddenly collapsed so violently that their opponents were stunned. No one dared to imagine, or at that time, that no one had the courage to imagine that this huge, powerful country would collapse overnight.
"When people are old, they always talk a little too ......much," the old man smiled self-deprecatingly, stroked his forehead and whispered: "Tell me, what are you going to do?" How can we help you? β
Hearing the old man's words, Hou Dasheng exhaled. It seems that the old man has confirmed that he wants to help him. Although this incident happened within Hou Dasheng's expectations, Hou Dasheng was still relieved when he really happened. It's not so pleasant to be the enemy of the only superpower on the planet.
To say that there is no pressure at all is pure. But no matter how much pressure he has, he will even crush him Hou Dasheng. He can only carry it, and he has to face everything with confidence as if he was fineβif even he shows frustration or panic, the whole jackal will have no backbone.
Of course, this is not to say that Hou Dasheng does not have much pressure. The pressure is still there, but the good thing is that there is a big country of the same magnitude across the ocean that is willing to help him share some of the pressure. This made him feel a lot more relaxed. At least it's much simpler than a mercenary group to fight against a country.
"Strength, we need strength." Hou Dasheng straightened his sitting posture, looked at the old man and said in a deep voice: "We need the best and best fighters to fight with the best fighters of that country on the other side of the ocean!" β
When the old man heard this, he smiled slightly. Then he whispered: "Son, we are no longer the Soviet Union we once were." Once upon a time in the Soviet Union, we did have the capital to fight against their best fighters. I'm sure we're not going to lose to them. But we are no longer the Soviet Union......"
"But ......" Seeing that Hou Dasheng wanted to say something, the old man waved his hand: "It's not that we can't do anything about them." Yes, the USSR was gone. But we're still there. The best fighters are old, but the fighters who passed through Grozny and Afghanistan are still there! They are still alive, and the most elite of them are still there. β
Hou Dasheng's face froze when he heard this. He thought of several mercenary regiments that were clearly in the style of the former Soviet Union. Those mercenary groups will carry out tasks together, intentionally or unintentionally, and they will not take some tasks. And personnel change from time to time.
Hou Dasheng knew about them because he had also tried to invite them to become a combat force, but was refused. Jackals have their own evaluation system, and it's not just about looking at the rankings of those mercenary group magazines. As for the service station, most of the missions of these mercenary groups will not be provided due to secrecy. But the assessment of combat capabilities, it is still possible.
"The battlefield, in Kyiv, is clearly inappropriate. It's too close to us. But the old man said softly: "Actually, I think their target country is very good." As for the service station, I believe that the colonel has already begun to be contacted. β
Hou Dasheng smiled slightly, but did not speak. The old man knew about the relationship between the jackal and the service station. The reason is simple: he ...... Once the head of the jackal!
Gary Kastrovski, nicknamed Shovel. Slavic, Soviet. For a period of time after World War II, he served as the head of the Jackals. The reason why he became the regimental commander of the jackal is simple - he was in the Soviet army and offended some people by knowing something that he should not know. Those people, who want his life.
The jackal became his shelter, and he found the jackal through the service station after working with the jackal during the war. Then it was logical to become a member of the jackals. Until the Soviet strongman, who received mixed reviews but absolutely killed too much, died. He just returned to the Soviet Union.
The story is very complicated, and Hou Dasheng even thinks that the old man himself can write a book. When he was young, he participated in World War II and was sent to fight behind enemy lines many times because of his excellent language talent and combat ability. When accumulating military merits and promotion, the partial students knew some things that they shouldn't know.
It happened to offend some people, so that he had to abandon everything and flee. Until the strongman and the man he had sinned against back then, almost all of them died or left the scene. He was invited back to the Soviet Union by his former comrades-in-arms. was able to survive many battles behind enemy lines in World War II, and was able to become the commander of the jackal.
This in itself already shows how good this old man was back then. Such an outstanding talent, naturally, is impossible to be forgotten by KGB. After those obstacles disappeared, the KGB was constantly trying to persuade him to return to the Soviet Union. The role of such people for the USSR in the Cold War was enormous.
In particular, jackals at that time were active in various battlefields all year round. For all the front-line situations, no one dares to say that they know better than him. After all, Gary chose the Soviet Union. That is, after all, his homeland. Ironically, his choice became a joke decades later. The motherland he defended eventually fell apart and dissipated.
"The guy in the Middle East is also a service provider, right?!" The old man smiled slightly, looked at Hou Dasheng and said, "The service provider has always been very good at dealing with these things. They also enjoy dealing with these things, with very low risk and great returns. β
Hou Dasheng smiled, neither admitting nor denying it. Instead, he continued the old man's words: "It's not impossible to choose to be with that colonel. The big question is, will the colonel be able to mobilize resources for us to use?! I don't think he's going to cooperate with us. β
"Of course he'll work with us. However, his cooperation is relatively limited. The old man said, spreading his hands and looking helpless: "You can't expect that colonel to come up with someone to help us, right?!" He was able to do nothing, in fact, he was the greatest help to us. β
After a pause, the old man rubbed his eyebrows: "I haven't forgotten that that idiot was knocked over by a rookie with another idiot!" β
When Gary mentioned this, Hou Dasheng's face couldn't help but flush a little. But soon, the blush disappeared. Hou Dasheng knew what the old man was talking about. The colonel propped up a man-eating maniac to the top, and a war broke out. The ending was naturally that the colonel was beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.
That war was later made a joke in China. But actually...... The real combat effectiveness of the two sides can only be regarded as half a catty. It's just that the colonel and his subordinates are actually worse. In this tournament, they won the game......
"Alright, our people will pass. But at least give us a month. The old man looked at Hou Dasheng and said, "Then, in addition to what you said, we must also take back the minerals that used to be here for jackals." β
Hou Dasheng nodded, indicating that there was no problem. In fact, it is no longer realistic to consider the minerals that have been won at this time. Moscow is no longer the cautious Moscow it once was. They have regained some vitality and are quietly sticking out their minions.
At this time, honestly return the advantage you took back to exchange for a favor. It's better than Qiang to keep it in his hands and finally let them swallow it back. You know, the credibility of the Slavs is actually not very good......
