Chapter 28 A bottle of vodka
(Bow thanks to "woainiwod for his support and support!)
On April 25, 1999, a news car from CCTV arrived at a villa outside Crisco. The famous host held a microphone and said to the camera: "Today is the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Northern Russian Republic. Ten years ago, Mr. Nikolavic, the first leader of the Northern Russian Republic, delivered a speech shocking the world on the No. 110 tank at the door of the White House. The history of Northern Russia has opened a new chapter from today. Today we are very fortunate to find one of the witnesses of that year, Mr. Kinosky, the secretary of Mr. Nikolavic, then."
Then the camera turned around and an old man with white hair appeared in the camera. The host came to him and asked him: "Mr. Kenoski, I heard that you said in an interview with foreign media that the speech was not as correct as the world knew? Mr. Nikolavic seemed not as brave as everyone thought, right? We really want to know what the situation was like back then."
Faced with the host's question, the old man fell into deep recollection, and he replied: "Of course it was not like that. The situation was very critical at that time. Thousands of troops surrounded us. No one knew where tomorrow. Mr. Nikolavic tried his best to remain calm in front of the media and officials, but I could see that he was very scared because his whole body was trembling."
Speaking of this, Kinoski asked the host: "Can you imagine a person called the Ural Mountain Eagle shivering when he was afraid? I saw it with my own eyes, if it weren't later."
The host keenly grasped the point and hurriedly asked: "What happened later?"
Kenoski did not answer, but asked the host first: "Have you heard of the story of talking about heroes when cooking green plums and wine?"
"Of course, that is a very classic chapter in the most famous Romance of the Three Kingdoms in China. Almost everyone knows it in China, but what does it matter?" the host asked.
Kenoski smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed the bottle of wine on the table next to him and said, "Of course it has something to do, and it has a lot to do, because it is this bottle of vodka that changed everything. I remember what the gentleman said at that time, this is called vodka caviar on current affairs! I still remember that Mr. Nikolavic was not happy that day, but he still drank another bottle treasured in the White House!"
"Wait for a moment, Mr. Kenoski, did you mean that Mr. Nikolavic climbed into the tank to give that speech because he was drunk?" The host felt a little incredible.
"Everyone says alcoholics are not good, but sometimes alcoholics can change the world!" Kenoski laughed and raised the bottle and took a sip into his mouth, as if he was willful and wanted to prove something.
The host was stunned. Everyone in the world who heard this through TV shows were also stunned, because no one could imagine that it would be like this bottle of vodka that could make Mr. Nikolavic go out of the White House, stand on the tank to give a speech, and convince the army to turn against each other.
But no one could have thought that there was one thing behind Kinosky that didn't say, that is: Drunkards can indeed change the world, but if that person hadn't brought this bottle of vodka in, if that person hadn't walked into the White House and shouted to fight like a man, and invited Mr. Nikolavic to drink and eat caviar together, I'm afraid that nothing else would happen later. He was the biggest boss behind this matter, even the entire Northern Russian Republic.
Kinoski thought so in his heart, and his thoughts couldn't help but float back to ten years ago, at the White House that day...
Time returned to 12:30 noon on April 25, 1989, and sporadic gunshots sounded at the door of the White House. Hundreds of opposition civilians tried to break through the defense line set by the army. The soldiers' dissuasion was ineffective, and the conflict broke out between the two sides, so the army had to fire rubber bullets to fight back.
Although such riots have occurred countless times since the army surrounded the White House, each time it still causes a stir. After all, under such a high pressure, everyone's emotions are easily out of control.
In the White House restaurant, Nikolavic, who had just finished talking with Zhou Ming, was about to go out, but when he heard the commotion outside, he stopped again.
Zhou Ming followed him. Seeing him like this, Zhou Ming said to him: "Mr. Nikolavic, are you hesitating again?"
"There is a commotion outside. Maybe the army has begun to attack the White House, or maybe the situation outside has gone out of control. Maybe now is not a good opportunity."
Nikolavic said that although he was trying hard to control it, if he listened carefully, he could still hear his voice changed a little.
Looking at Nikolavic's appearance made Zhou Ming feel a little funny. Before seeing him with his own eyes, it was really hard for Zhou Ming to imagine that the first president who led the Northern Russia ** would be like this. But who would have thought that such a coward can change the world's situation. It makes people sigh that history is just a little bitch who likes to tease people.
Zhou Ming shook his head gently and said, "I still say the same thing. Do you want to be a coward for the rest of your life or even a hero for only one minute?"
Facing Zhou Ming's words, Nikolavic was silent. He turned around and asked Zhou Ming: "I want to be a hero, but what do you want? I won't believe that you are here to save the people of Northern Russia."
Zhou Ming replied with a smile: "In fact, I won't say such nonsense to you, that will only insult the IQ of the two of us, but I really haven't thought about it yet. Let's talk about it after I think about it."
"Then aren't you afraid that I will regret it after I succeed? You know that politicians are the most untrustworthy ones," said Nikolavic.
"Thank you, Mr. Nikolavic, but I don't think I need you to remind you, because I have a way to make you turn this game, so I have a way to turn this game back. You must know that the power of the coup is much greater than that of you. It will be much easier for me to help them than to help you." Zhou Ming said.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, are you threatening me?" Nikolavic glared at Zhou Ming and questioned him.
Zhou Ming didn't say anything, but just looked at him so calmly, even though Nikolavic, who had just finished drinking, was filled with alcohol.
In the end, Nikolavic was defeated and said to Zhou Ming very sadly: "I will abide by the agreement."
Nikolavic looks like a defeated rooster. Although he is a northern Russian, he is taller than Zhou Ming, but at this moment, he always feels looking up at Zhou Ming.
They walked out of the room and came to the lobby on the first floor. Since they had notified the restaurant when they decided to do so, there were many people here including the officials of the Northern Russian Republic and media from various countries, and they were all waiting for a great moment.
Looking at the gathering crowd, Nikolavic waved his hand: "Let's go out and lead the people to fight back!"
At the call of Nikolavic, all the White House followers responded, which made Nikolavic unexpected. He subconsciously looked back at Zhou Ming, and Zhou Ming said to him: "It's normal. As a leader, the most important thing is decisiveness. For those below, having a decision is better than anything else, even if this decision seems to be a suicide."
Nikolavic nodded silently, then led the team out of the White House. When all the people at the door saw Nikolavic coming out, they instantly gave a tsunami-like cheer.
Hearing this cheer, Nikolavic's secretary Kinoski said excitedly: "It's great, Mr. President! Sure enough, the people are still on our side."
Zhou Ming's eyes are a coward Nikolavic, but in front of others, he still acts like a qualified leader. He said: "The people have always supported us, but now our top priority is to win the support of the army, and we need the army to help us hit the rebels with a strong blow."
"Mr. Nikolavic is right. We must now get as much support as possible!" Someone immediately agreed with Nikolavic's words, who was the Prime Minister of the Northern Russian Republic.
With the Prime Minister's agreement, everyone else also agreed with Nikolavic, but at this moment, no one expected that Nikolavic suddenly turned around and asked Zhou Ming: "What do you think?"
If Nikolavic's words just now were very exciting, then his words were shocking at this moment, because no one understood why this kind of thing that concerns the future of the Northern Russian Republic, why did the President ask an irrelevant person?
Zhou Ming, as if he didn't feel the surprised gaze around him, replied to Nikolavic: "I think it's the same. Maybe your speech can change everything by Mr. Nikolavic. As for the venue, I think the tank over there is very good."
Zhou Ming spoke while pointing at the tank not far away.
Seeing Zhou Ming's finger, Nikola Vicci was shocked, because his decision was not only praise, but also praise!
First of all, let’s not talk about the high platform that can be used as a speech on such a flat ground, but just talking about standing on a tank is very inspiring, because doing so can bring people a yearning to defeat the violence of the coup. The tank trampled under his feet is a symbol of the violence of the coup.
If Zhou Ming's previous sentence threatened that he could turn the tables at any time and he was a little skeptical, then he completely believed it at this time. How could someone who could make such a decision instantly be able to meet?
Looking at Nikolavic's shocked and slightly admiring eyes, Zhou Ming was filled with joy.
What else in this world can tell you what you want to do and let you thank and worship yourself? Especially this person is Nikolavic, which can still change the fate of a superpower and bring you countless wealth.
However, Zhou Ming was so happy that he was about to jump up, but on the surface he was still very calm. After all, no matter what, as the boss behind the scenes, he always had to look like a boss behind the scenes.
