723, vigorous and resolute(1/2)
Alina is worthy of being the underground queen of an international gang like the Kuya Group.
Work vigorously and resolutely.
The next day, Xia Yang saw a piece of news in the newspaper that Ukolan launched the most severe anti-corruption operation in history.
How severe is it? Let’s not talk about other anti-corruption punishments. There is only one: death penalty for greedy money of 10,000 US dollars.
You can imagine how severe it is.
However, the international response was mostly cynicism and jokes.
This can be seen from the media news in various countries.
Like the American Post, "Oh my god, is Ukolan running out of money?"
The British Daily News said, "Obviously Ukolan made a stupid decision. This kind of behavior is just grandstanding and has no benefit except bringing chaos."
Rose's news was the most popular, "Please remember this day, this is the beginning of Ukolan's downfall."
"Look, this is the result of leaving the Ross Alliance. They can bring nothing to the Ukrainian people except chaos."
...Wait a minute, the Ross news is all about mocking Ukolan.
The world's largest country fell apart in the blink of an eye. This makes some people in Russia unable to accept this gap, so they are filled with resentment. Unfortunately, the historical trend is always moving forward and cannot be stopped.
In short, no one is optimistic about Ukolan's anti-corruption campaign and reforms.
Xia Yang is more cautious and will not comment until the results come out.
Of course one thing is for sure.
Regardless of whether Alina's reform of Ukolan was successful or not, he had nothing to lose.
If Alina succeeds, he will invest in Ukraine as promised.
If it fails, he will at most not acquire the three military-industrial enterprises of Ukolan Madasic, and in short there will be no losses.
However, there is one thing that Xia Yang still appreciates, and that is Alina's decisiveness and execution ability.
So even if Alina fails, he is still willing to cooperate with Alina in other aspects, such as handing over some less than legitimate businesses to her management like the African gold mine, etc.
Just as the outside world questioned or laughed at it, Ukolan's anti-corruption reforms were launched vigorously.
Starting from the United States and other countries, ridicule continued every day, especially the Ross News, which almost explicitly stated that the capital of Ukraine was using anti-corruption to make money, etc.
After a week, this kind of ridicule gradually disappeared, and finally the media from various countries simply stopped reporting on Ukraine’s anti-corruption reforms.
Because Ukolan caught too many money-grubbing people, in just one week, at least 5,000 people were reported, including small town clerks, mayors, and even congressmen.
All the MPs were arrested.
Obviously, Ukolan's anti-corruption reforms are serious and not just slogans.
Therefore, the media in various countries were immediately slapped in the face, and finally stopped reporting it at all.
Only one thing is the same as what the British news media reported.
This unprecedented anti-corruption reform in Ukraine has indeed caused chaos.
But it was not the people of Ukraine who were in chaos, but the capital of Ukraine.
Because people in the Ukrainian capital are taken away by the anti-corruption bureau every day.
For example, some mayors were in a meeting, and suddenly a group of special police officers from the Anti-Corruption Bureau rushed in with live ammunition. They first called the names one by one, and after the roll call was completed, almost half of the people in the meeting room were taken away.
Some MPs were notified to attend a meeting, and upon entering the conference room, they were invited to have tea by the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
There was even a money-hungry man who wanted to take a plane to escape, but at the airport, he was seized by the anti-corruption bureau special police with all the money.
This makes the daily theme of many media outlets in Ukraine focus on how many money-greedy and fat bastards were caught today, and many newspapers have to use several pages every day to put down the names of these money-greedy and fat bastards.
Of course, people like to see this kind of situation, and the only ones who are afraid of it are those fat insects with unclean hands and feet.
Under Alina's iron-fisted cleanup, tens of thousands of people were arrested in less than half a month. What was even more ruthless was that people were taken to the execution ground and shot every day.
It's almost like an assembly line and very efficient.
Of course, this is natural. Don’t forget, what is Alina’s job? She is the underground queen of the Kuya gang, investigating intelligence and spying on confidential information. However, the Kuya gang is good at eating, especially at prying people’s mouths open.
So Alina sent talented people like her men to catch some money-grubbing criminals, but they still couldn't catch them.
In order to improve the environment in Ukraine and allow Xia Yang to invest with confidence, Alina purged not only the capital's senior officials' council, but also the top military officials.
This undoubtedly made her more stressed.
But if she wants Ukolan to become what she wants, these must be done.
…
The capital building of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.
Office of the Department of Homeland Security.
Kova, who was wearing a military uniform, knocked on the door and came in.
"General, General Vitali has arrived."
"Invite him in."
On the desk, Alina looked at the documents without raising her head.
"Yes, General."
Kova turned around and went out, quickly bringing General Vitali in.
Major General Vitaly is in his early thirties, has dark brown hair, is tall and handsome, and when he sees Alina, he immediately stands up and salutes!
"leader."
Vitaly was Alina's right-hand man before, so in private, he always called Alina the leader.
"sit."
Alina asked Vitali to sit down, but her face did not have the usual appreciative smile, but was a little cold.
This made Vitaly afraid to sit down and still stood upright in front of Alina.
Seeing Vitali like this, Alina didn't mince words, but went straight to the point, "Isn't the salary I'm giving you enough?"
Vitali's face suddenly turned pale, "General..."
"You don't need to explain."
Vitali turned pale and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Alina, who then took out a bank card from the drawer and pushed it in front of Vitali from the table, "This card contains half a million US dollars.
It’s enough to cure your wife’s illness, so hand over the money that doesn’t belong to you.”
In an instant, Vitali seemed to collapse, and the 1.9-meter tall man began to sob and cry. Although he covered his face with his hands, tears continued to flow from his fingers.
"I'm sorry, chief. I can't lose Yeva. Without Yeva, my life is completely meaningless. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Vitali cried bitterly and knelt on the ground, all he knew was to keep saying sorry to Alina.
Alina sighed softly, stood up from her position, pulled Vitali up, and wiped his tears with a handkerchief.
"I am the one who should say I'm sorry. It was me who neglected you. Yeva and I are also friends. I didn't expect that she was seriously ill. I didn't know. The medical expenses were not enough. I didn't know either. And all this bad luck has happened to you."
Thank you for your hard work, Vitaly. Eva is lucky to have such a responsible husband like you."
Alina patted Vitaly on the shoulder hard, but her face turned cold again. "But you know my rules. If you do something wrong, you must accept punishment. Even though you did it to save Yeva from the illness.
I took money that I shouldn’t have taken.”
"Chief, please speak."
Vitaly wiped away his tears and stood up straight again. He was willing to accept any punishment from Alina. As long as he could cure his wife Yeva's illness, he was willing to bear everything.
Seeing Vitali's appearance, Alina nodded with satisfaction, "The military rank will be reduced by one level, and he will be transferred from the Third Army to be in charge of the gold mines in Africa. He will not be transferred back for five years."
"Yes, leader."
Vitaly stood up and saluted, accepting the punishment without saying a word.
"I know this punishment is a bit harsh. You just received a few thousand dollars, but you were not allowed to be promoted for five years. If you want to be promoted to major general, it will take at least five years, and you have to pay a total of ten years, but I have to do this.
Do."
Alina briefly explains.
In the outside world, a few thousand dollars doesn't mean much, but in Ukok it's a lot.
Because at this time, Ukolan inflation was serious, one U.S. dollar could be exchanged for more than 200 Ukolan coins, and in a few years, it would reach the point where one U.S. dollar could be exchanged for more than 200,000 Ukolan coins.
This is why Alina is eager for Xia Yang to invest in Ukolan.
"Chief, I understand and accept it."
Vitaly said firmly that he naturally understood why Alina imposed a harsher punishment on him, because Alina was undergoing anti-corruption reforms at this time, so a close confidant like him must be severely punished to convince the public, otherwise he would collapse.
"Well, you understand best. In addition, when you go to Africa to take charge of the gold mine, I have a few things to tell you. First, the income from the African gold mine must be handed over on time. Second, don't cause trouble. Don't give it to Mr. Xia."
To cause trouble, thirdly, pay attention to intelligence collection, Mr. Xia sometimes needs this information..."
Alina explained everything to Vitaly.
