? Of course, the most powerful argument put forward by the supporters is that the current cruel reality has determined that the club has to cooperate with Guo Shouyun and his Guo Group. The reality that no one can deny is that the clubs are too weak at the moment: politically, although the clubs have quite a few members, they have no laudable influence in the central, local, political or military of the federation. . Economically, if nothing else, many members of the club have a very difficult life, not to mention ample club funds. In this case, if the club wants to get out of the predicament and speed up its development, it is bound to need strong support from the outside, to a certain extent, to establish a group similar to the United Front, unite all the forces that can be united, and concentrate the forces. Master more and greater political voice----The establishment of the club is based on dissatisfaction with the current state system and social conditions. The ultimate action plan for all members of the club is to participate in politics, that is, to make their own political demands Putting it into reality, if this goal cannot be achieved, then what is the point of the entire club? Are you going to be a gangster?

In this way, at the internal meeting of the club committee, on whether to establish a deep relationship with Guo Shouyun, there was a debate for and against for two hours, during which twenty-five committee members spoke at a time to clarify their respective views. , and in the final show of hands, the support won by a ratio of 16 to 9, and this also indicates that the newly formed Cheka Club will establish a kind of partnership with the Guo Group led by Guo Shouyun. Long-term and close partnership. As for what this means for the club and Guo Shouyun, it is impossible to make an effective judgment, but it can be expected that the establishment of the Patriotic Support Fund will bring difficulties to hundreds of thousands or even millions of former KGB members. Life brings a glimmer of light.

Leningrad city government office building, inside the office of the Mayor of Sobchak. When the frowning Victor pushed in the door surrounded by two entourages, Sobchak, who was getting older, was taking medicine under the guidance of two nurses. Recently, with the arrival of early spring, due to frequent temperature changes, Sobchak had a bad cold. For a strong young man, a cold may not be such a big problem. It took two days for the big deal to pass, but for an old man, a cold is quite dangerous. If one might cause a stroke, then death is not far away. So these days. As the mayor of Leningrad, Sobchak has almost put down all his work and is honestly recuperating at home, and today is his first day back to work.

Sobchak, as a senior politician and the chief executive of Leningrad, is equally suspicious. Among all the people around him. He trusted almost no one except Vladimir. Therefore, during his illness, Vladimir took over all the important tasks of Leningrad as the deputy mayor.

How to say it, Sobchak's trust in Vladimir is not false, and the teacher-student relationship between the two is not false. But this trust, this layer of relationship. It does not mean that Sobchak can completely let go of government affairs, and it does not mean that Vladimir can act recklessly and arbitrarily. This is not. After his health had just improved, Sobchak couldn't wait to return to work, and the first thing he did after returning to work was to check what Vladimir had done over the past few days--- - Power struggle, this thing must not be sloppy, an inadvertent negligence is likely to bring disaster.

After a morning's work inspection, Sobchak personally felt quite satisfied. During his cultivation period, his students kept their duties very well. He did not make any small moves on the personnel issues of government officials. As for the handling of government affairs, he also completely followed the established policy of the "teacher", which is very good, at least it shows that this "student" is truly trustworthy.

Seeing his old friend rushing in from the door, Sobchak was stunned for a moment, then he put down the water glass in his hand and waved to the two nurses standing beside him, motioning them to go out. ^^

"What, is there any news from Zyuganov?" After the nurse went out, Sobchak put a few pills in his mouth, then picked up the water glass again, tilted his neck, and took a sip of water. After taking the pills, he coughed twice and asked.

"It's not just that there is news from him, I also received a call from the little guy from the Far East." They have been friends for decades, and Victor is not too polite to Sobchak, he He walked to the front of a piece of sand on his own, sat down and sighed at the same time.

"Oh? Isn't that a good thing?" Sobchak raised his eyebrows and smiled casually, "He hasn't contacted us directly for a long time. You didn't always suspect that his wings were hard, so you didn't plan to pay attention to us old men. Guys? Well now, it turns out that your worries are superfluous."

"The concern may be superfluous, but the trouble is real," Victor said with a frown, "Tell you, the little guy got the news about Zyuganov going to the Far East, and he has made up his mind now. The idea is to have a head-to-head fight with our old friend who defected from the organization."

"This should be considered good news, right?" Sobchak said pretending to be relaxed. In fact, he also knew in his heart that since Victor was so cautious, Guo Shouyun obviously made an amazing decision, and this "amazing decision" would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

"If he is only interested in going against Zyuganov, that would be good news for us, but his plans are obviously more than that," Victor shook his head and said, and then put several decisions made by Guo Shouyun Say it one by one. Whether it is Sobchak or Victor, they are all scheming veterans. What kind of mind Guo Shouyun contains in these arrangements is naturally hidden from their eyes. Because of this, after listening to Viktor's brief, Sobchak's old face became as ugly as it was ugly.

Guo Shouyun wants to deal with Zyuganov with great fanfare, to raise prices and manipulate the market in the Far East. It doesn't matter to the two old foxes. Anyway, the domestic political arena is now a mess, and the economic situation has also fallen to the bottom. . In this case, Guo Shouyun ** these things are not a big deal. But in addition, in this series of means, there is also a big problem involved, that is, the manipulation of public opinion. It is obviously a danger to create gaps and contradictions between the local and the central. Don't forget that there was an independence turmoil in the Far East some time ago. Although Guo Shouyun maintained a correct position at that time, who knows what he is thinking about now? More importantly, during this period of time, Guo and the Chinese side are getting closer and closer. Before Guo Shouyun went to Northeast China for the festival and stayed in Harbin for nearly two weeks, Victor knew exactly who he met there and what occasion he went in and out through spying. face such a situation. How could he not be wary of Guo Shouyun?

Chant for a long time. Sobchak said tentatively, "What do you think?"

"It's hard to say anything now," Victor said, tilting his head, looking at the federal tricolor flag hanging on the opposite wall, "The little guy is now deeply entrenched in the Far East, big and small in more than a dozen states. The management is like a pair of iron buckets. It can be said that water cannot get in. The Kremlin is now quite taboo about his existence. This time Zyuganov dares to go to the Far East to show off. I have always wondered if they were secretly and the Kremlin. What agreement has been reached? Well, let's not think about these things, just talk about ourselves. To tell the truth, the little guy is also my son-in-law. I know his temperament relatively well. In my opinion, with his With that scheming, he is unlikely to take the road of splitting, after all, it is not his best choice. What I am really worried about now is that he is too close to Beijing, in that case, the future of the Far East will be full of variable."

Sobchak obviously agreed with Viktor's words. China and Russia directly share a border with a long border. These two big countries stand side by side, and they can feel the threat from each other. In the period of the former Soviet Union, due to the huge gap in strength between the two countries, Soviet politicians were not too worried about threats from China. With the rapid development of China's economy due to reform and opening up, the threat from China has become more and more important within the federal power hierarchy. Especially in the Far East and the Altai region, China's economic-led political influence has obviously spread to this side.

"The little guy also mentioned something on the phone this time," Victor said after a moment of silence, "he mentioned the aluminum investment project in Chita, which, according to him, directly concerns his interests. , so he doesn't want the Japanese to get the final contract for this investment. In this matter, he wants us to operate a little bit, and if we don't care, he will do it himself."

Sobchak knows that there are only two competitions for the aluminum industry investment project in Chita Prefecture, one is Japan and the other is Jin Aluminum from mainland China. Guo Shouyun does not intend to let this contract fall into the hands of the Japanese, then he Who can't see what's going on in your heart?

"Is he threatening us, or just to inform us?" Sobchak pondered.

"I hope he's threatening us," Victor muttered. He's not saying the opposite, Sobchak can also understand the reasoning. Obviously, if Guo Shouyun is just taking the opportunity to threaten, it means that he does not intend to intervene too much in this matter, so he also gets rid of him An overly affectionate relationship with China. And if it's just a notification, it's a matter of order.

"In my opinion, you'd better go to the Far East in the near future," Sobchak hissed, and finally said, "If I remember correctly, Nina's birthday is coming up soon, and you just took this opportunity to meet the little guy. Whether it’s a meeting, a reminder, or a job, at least you have to figure out his attitude.”

Victor didn't speak, he just nodded silently.
