Chapter 240 Variables Just as Ning Weidong and Xie Liaosha urged their horses to look at the prey, suddenly there was a "bang" and a gunshot was heard to their right. The two of them were startled and immediately became alert. Judging from the noise, the shooting happened not far from here. Seryosha pulled the reins to a stop, turned his head and saw only a forest. Ning Weidong also looked, but even though he had excellent eyesight, it was of little use in this environment. Seryosha thought for a moment and said, "Maybe someone else is hunting nearby. We don't need to worry about him." Despite saying this, Seryosha still winked at the people who were following him. Two people immediately went out to the direction where the gunshots came from, about ten meters away, to be prepared for any eventuality. It’s not for anything else. If someone really attacks maliciously, these two people will be useless if they go there. Their main purpose is to prevent misunderstandings. Everyone is hunting in the woods, so don't mistake people for prey and shoot them.

Especially, nothing must happen to Ning Weidong and Xie Liaosha, that is the use of those two people. As for the gunshots over there, they were probably preventive. When they heard the sound of Seryosha shooting reindeer, they knew there were people over here, so they deliberately fired warning shots to let people know that there were people over here. The two sides reached a tacit understanding and kept to themselves. Ning Weidong and Xie Liaosha walked leisurely in the woods, chatting and hunting. The ecology in the Soviet suburbs was quite good, with many different kinds of animals. Big or small, they never encountered any ferocious beasts. Maybe the gunshots scared them away. Carnivorous beasts are generally more intelligent than herbivores. It is more difficult for carnivores to obtain food, and they need smarter brains to command hunting. Compared to herbivores, all they have to do is keep their heads down and eat. Ning Weidong and Seryosha also have their own choices. They don't just hunt animals when they see them. Their goal is to hunt bears or tigers. The musk deer and reindeer caught at the beginning were just a good start, ensuring that this hunting trip would not come back empty-handed. We rode horses in the woods and around noon, we found a relatively open place in the woods to camp. They come here to hunt, but hunting is not the main thing; the main thing is to have fun. Of course, they would not sleep in the open air. The entourage set up a very exquisite white fir camping table, made a bonfire, and began to process the prey. Finally, the musk deer and reindeer meat were processed into barbecued sizes, and Ning Weidong and Seryosha roasted them over the fire for their own entertainment. The picked out internal organs were thrown to the group of hyenas to share. These guys are not the kind of house pets that only eat dog food and leftovers, they have all eaten raw meat. Ning Weidong and Xie Liaosha were very excited. Xie Liaosha brought a lot of seasonings, including cumin, which is essential for barbecue. The only flaw was that there was no chili powder. It’s strange to say, the people of Sulian can drink so much, so they should be able to adapt to spicy food, but they just can’t eat spicy food.

Ning Weidong remembered another little anecdote. In the world before he traveled through time, China exported instant noodles in exchange for supplies and shipped a batch of spicy braised beef noodles. The store across the street became very popular at that time, and they had no choice but to urgently send a batch of seafood-flavored seasoning over there. At this time, Ning Weidong was grilling meat while muttering: "How can barbecue be without chili powder! Just like the West cannot be without Jerusalem." Seryosha rolled his eyes and said, "What's so delicious about peppers? Isn't black pepper fragrant?" Ning Weidong said: "Black pepper tastes good and it doesn't affect chili peppers. The diets of you Westerners are too narrow, otherwise why are there so many people with allergies?" Seryosha was speechless. Why did he bring up allergies? Ning Weidong continued, "Also, never argue with the Chinese about what's delicious. When it comes to food, everyone in the world is trash in front of us." Seryosha was stunned and wanted to refute but found that he had no words to say. His father had lived in China for several years, and he had been there himself, and the food was really delicious. Ning Weidong continued to talk nonsense: "Do you know that Zheng He sailed to the West? The great fleet sailed from east to west. Today's textbooks say that it reached the east coast of Africa, but in fact it may have gone even further. What they brought back was basically delicious. What they didn't bring back must have been unpalatable, no doubt about it..." The two chatted while grilling the meat and sprinkled sea salt and black pepper. Because the fire was made of wood instead of charcoal, there was some black smoke, which made the surface of the grilled meat black. Ning Weidong didn't care. He scraped it twice with a knife and put it into his mouth while it was hot. As for the freshness of meat, there is probably nothing fresher than this. It was still alive and kicking two hours ago. But when it comes to deliciousness, the so-called wild game is not as delicious as farmed cattle and sheep. The most important thing is that the meat has low fat content. Farmed animals have no survival pressure, have less activity, and have fat accumulation, so they have the aroma of fat whether they are stewed or grilled. In comparison, wild animals are much thinner, and the lack of fat makes their meat dry and tough, and definitely not as delicious. However, the whole point of camping and barbecuing in the wild is the atmosphere, especially on a cold day like this, where you can roast meat by the fire, surrounded by a large forest, with horses and hunting dogs, and the atmosphere is really great. After finishing the meal slowly, the entourage went to clean up the fire. Ning Weidong and Xie Liaosha went to the side to release water, stepping on the dry leaves on the ground, making a "crunching" sound. Before the two men could pull up their pants, gunshots were heard. The two of them squatted subconsciously. The sound just now was obviously not far away. Seryosha shouted "Fuck!" and immediately pulled out the pistol from the holster on his waist and fired three shots into the sky. In this case, I am afraid of grenades. Although the probability is very low, what if I am unlucky? However, as soon as the gunshot rang out, another shot was fired from the other side. This was followed by the roar of an angry beast. Ning Weidong and Xie Liaosha's faces changed. The roar of the beast just now was closer. Seryosha said quickly: "It's a brown bear!"

You said as you turned around and ran towards the horses. They didn't walk far when they came out to pee. They were all grown men and had nothing to be shy about. It only took them three or four meters. Ning Weidong was even faster and grabbed the sniper rifle hanging on the saddle. At the same time, the seven people accompanying them also became alert. The bearded leader whistled, alerting a dozen hunting dogs around him, who immediately rushed into the woods in the direction of the beast's roar. Ning Weidong stood behind the horse with a gun in his hand. The current situation is that a brown bear has been spotted on the opposite side. Although it heard the warning shots fired from this side, it was unwilling to give up its prey and continued to track us. Seryosha was so angry that his face turned ugly. He also leaned against the horse with his gun in hand. At this moment, there was a sudden burst of rapid dog barking in the woods, followed by the roar of wild beasts. Ning Weidong frowned slightly, knowing that the hunting dog that had just been released had encountered a brown bear. This brown bear must have been shot and is in a frenzy. Those hunting dogs definitely can't stop it. In fact, the existence of hounds is not to fight with prey, but to drive away, explore the way, and guard. Ning Weidong raised his gun, aimed in the direction of the dog's barking, and searched for the target through the eyepiece. Soon, he noticed a dark shadow passing through his field of vision. "Bear!" Ning Weidong's hands reacted faster than his brain. He moved the muzzle of the gun following the shadow and pulled the trigger with a "bang". The muzzle flame spurted out, and the bullet shot out, brushing past the ear of an attendant in front, and then scraping off a small piece of bark, and then pointed at the brown bear that was rushing towards it, with red eyes and no reason. This is a big male bear who is gaining weight in the autumn. In preparation for hibernation, bears eat a lot in the autumn and will be starving to the point of being skin and bones by the beginning of next spring. Brown bears are the fattest and strongest at this time. There was a gunshot wound on its back, and the heavy bleeding had dyed the fur on its back black. But before it could hear the gunshot again, a bullet had already hit the brown bear's nose. The relatively soft bear nose and upper nasal cavity were instantly penetrated by the bullet and directly invaded the brain. The powerful impact instantly shattered the brown bear's brain. With a loud bang, the huge brown bear weighing more than a thousand pounds fell to the ground. But at this moment, the hunting dogs on Ning Weidong's side were about to surround the bear, and more than a dozen dogs rushed over from the opposite side. The two groups of hunting dogs confronted each other around the brown bear's body. Ning Weidong breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, in a critical moment, he didn't expect that he could hit the target with one shot. He met Seryosha's gaze, smiled and said, "It's hit, go over and take a look." The two men mounted their horses but did not rush over, as the entourage was still ahead.

The seven men who were accompanying him rode to where the brown bear had fallen and stopped behind their own hounds. Almost at the same time, figures appeared in the woods opposite, about ten people, all riding horses. Behind them there was the sound of a car engine. Ning Weidong and Xie Liaosha slowly approached and saw the huge brown bear lying on the ground. Even Xie Liaosha was surprised. This body size is also large among big male bears. On the opposite side, two open-top green GAZ jeeps came over. The people in the car were all armed. One of them, a young man in a military coat and cotton hat, stood up with the windshield in his hand and said with a sly smile, "Xie Liaosha, what a coincidence~" Seryosha saw the other man and urged his horse forward. The entourage split to the left and right. Seryosha said: "I thought it was someone else." Ning Weidong was also looking at Xie Liaosha next to him. There were two jeeps, with four people in total, excluding the driver. The person who spoke just now should be younger than Seryosha, but his status is not low, he is the leader. The other two were one fat and one thin, and nothing could be seen. Only the last one surprised Ning Weidong. This person also has an Asian face, but is obviously not from Huaguo. Judging from his facial features and skin color, he doesn't look like an Oriental. Even when sitting in the car, you can see that he is short, so he is most likely from Southeast Asia. And now, the country that has the best relationship with Speedlink and is closest to it is undoubtedly Country Y. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that a large part of the reason behind the current war in the south is Speedlink. The logic is also obvious: First, the capital has become closer to the West in recent years; Secondly, the decision to take action in Afhan requires some energy to be diverted here. This was exactly what he wanted. With the excuse in the south, it was like a token of his allegiance. No matter what requests Amei made, she would have an excuse to shirk them. Look, I'm fighting someone right now. You can't let me fight on two fronts. Food should be eaten one bite at a time and things should be done one at a time, isn't that right? This is also why this battle was fought in so many different ways, with attacking, retreating, taking turns, dragging on, and never stopping. As long as the fight is going on there, everyone feels at ease. The ones who suffered were Vietnam, which completely destroyed the industrial base in the north. At this time, it was not surprising that Vietnamese people appeared in the Far East. Since the war broke out until now, Hanoi has lost its composure, from being full of confidence at the beginning to being beaten to a pulp. It has been sending people to lobby within the Sultanate, hoping that the Sultanate would put pressure on the North and provide more assistance. As for the result, you don’t have to think about it to know it.

How diligent Su Lian was when he instigated them to take action, how thorough their turning against him was now. Are you kidding me? What was the purpose of letting you fight in the south? Now you are causing trouble in the north. Do you want my strategy? Are you not going to fight Afhan? Are you not going to open up the Induyang seaport? Your brain is broken and you can't figure out who is in charge of the overall situation, right? Since Moscow cannot be persuaded, it is not surprising that they find another way to go to the local level. There is a saying that goes “A county magistrate is not as good as the current manager.” As long as there is some movement in the Far East, it doesn't have to be real, it can just create tension and contain the situation a little. When Ning Weidong saw this person, he instantly imagined all of this. Be alert immediately. At this time, that kind of situation must not occur. Once the atmosphere becomes tense, everyone in Beijing and Moscow will focus their attention. When the time comes, how can you fish in troubled waters, sell goods, and make money under the microscope? Never allow it! Ning Weidong took a deep breath, took two steps forward, came to Seryosha's side, pursed his lips, and whispered, "Who is that person over there?" As the successor of the core force of the local faction in Khabarovsk, Seryosha was well aware of the affairs of the circle and replied, "Nguyen Xuan Dinh, from Vietnam." Ning Weidong understood and thought to himself that it was indeed the case. The young man who was speaking opposite also saw Ning Weidong and said with a smile: "This must be Comrade Ning Weidong." Ning Weidong was not surprised that the other party knew him. Anyone who could stand on equal footing with Seryosha must not be restricted by others. "That's right. I wonder who you are~" He said without waiting for the other party to answer, but looked at Seryosha beside him. Seryosha understood and introduced: "This is Comrade Khoramov, my colleague in the Economic Planning Committee. The one next to him is Comrade Plakin, who works at the Khabarovsk Police Department." Pointing to the third person, Seryosha's eyes flashed with a strange color: "This comrade is Yangovich, the deputy head of the provincial Communist Purgatory." Ning Weidong nodded towards that side. Finally, Seryosha introduced Nguyen Xuan Dinh: "This is a friend from Vietnam..." I just said it in a low voice, but this time it’s a formal introduction. At this time, Khoramov said: "Thank you for your help in stopping the bear. Otherwise, it would have gotten away." Seryosha raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by helping you stop it? This should be considered our prey~" Khoramov argued: "Seryosha, don't be ridiculous, we found this bear." Seryosha smiled and said, "Of course, you are really lucky, but unfortunately... your shooting skills are not good enough. I have to thank you. If you hadn't driven it over here, my brother Weidong wouldn't have been able to blow its head off with one shot." That smug look on his face really deserves a beating. Khoramov choked. He was a typical Slav, not good at debate and preferring to be straightforward. Without further ado, he waved his hand and said, "Come on~"

The entourage around him immediately dismounted and rushed forward. Seryosha didn't waste any words. He raised his hand and waved. The seven people who followed him dismounted from their horses and rushed forward. There are nine people on the opposite side, which gives them the advantage in numbers, but the advantage is not great. Around the brown bear's corpse, more than a dozen well-trained strong men started fighting hand-to-hand. Seryosha and the other guys on the opposite side had no intention of leaving the field. This was probably a common way for them to resolve conflicts, which was in line with the Slavic character. But Ning Weidong also realized that there was something fishy going on with the people fighting in the field. Although they were as fierce as wolves and tigers and the fight was quite lively, they all held back. None of them are brave enough to hit people where they are weak. To paraphrase the saying, we are all here for a salary, why fight for our lives? Just think of it as playing with these young masters. If someone really gets killed or seriously injured, it will be a difficult situation to resolve. After a fight, as expected, there were two more people on the other side, and Seryosha lost. The seven people were forced away from the brown bear's corpse by the opposite side. After the fight, although they all tacitly held back, they were still inevitably scratched and bruised. Everyone was covered in dirt, and some had bruises and bleeding at the corners of their mouths and noses. Xie Liaosha didn't care. He looked at Ning Weidong and shrugged. Then he looked at the opposite side and said with a pout: "The bear is for you~" If it had happened ten years ago, and if there were outsiders present, Seryosha would never give in easily. But now, he is past that age and knows that such emotional disputes are meaningless. Neither side needs this bear. Khoramov smiled but did not say anything sarcastic, and was about to have the bear dragged away. Ning Weidong spoke up: "Comrade Khoramov~" The people on the opposite side were stunned and looked over at the same time. Khoramov raised his eyebrows and asked, "Comrade Ning Weidong, do you have any advice?" Ning Weidong said with a smile: "I fired the last shot. I want a bear paw to taste when I go back. Is that too much?" Khoramov was stunned, thinking that Ning Weidong was up to something, but he turned out to be just a bear paw. It was not easy to refuse. Su Lian also knew that visitors were guests, and he had just won, so the winner should be tolerant: "Of course." He said to his followers, "Cut off the bear paw and give it to this Chinese comrade." "Yes~" the man agreed, took out a dagger and ran towards the brown bear's corpse. Ning Weidong did not forget to remind: "The one on the right~" Soon, a big hairy claw was cut off. Ning Weidong didn't need to take it. The bearded man under Seryosha went over and got the bear paw. Ning Weidong rode on his horse, said thank you to the opposite side, turned his horse around and left with Xie Liaosha.

After this incident, Seryosha lost interest and simply gathered his men and went back. When he got in the car, he sat in the passenger seat and asked, "Have we entertained all the chefs who can cook bear paws?" Seryosha smiled and said, "If you want to eat bear paws, just tell me earlier. There are plenty of them." Ning Weidong certainly knew that there were plenty of them, but he insisted on asking Khoramov for one, and he didn't want a bear paw. With this excuse, he would have a reason to look for Khoramov next time. Although he gets along well with Seryosha now, it doesn't mean that Ning Weidong can't hook up with Khoramov. No one is selling out to anyone. As for Xie Liaosha, it didn't matter to him whether he could see Ning Weidong's thoughts or not. What mattered was that he could offer enough money to exchange with Ning Weidong. Only in this way could the two sides maintain a stable and peaceful relationship, and the friendship boat could be more solid. …… The car drove back to the guesthouse. Xie Liaosha asked the chef to prepare the bear paws and cook the venison brought back from hunting. He and Ning Weidong went back to take a shower and change clothes, and then have dinner together later. When Ning Weidong returned to the villa exhausted, everyone was there. Wang Ye and Hu Bayi were also exhausted. Previously, Ning Weidong asked Wang Ye to check out the market and price levels in Birobidzhan, and asked Hu Bayi to follow and protect him. It looks like the two of them are going to be busy again today. When it comes to doing things, Wang Ye is really impeccable, he is rigorous and hard-working, and has no complaints. Ning Weidong greeted the two of them and briefly learned about the situation, but found that there was something wrong with these two people. It’s hard to say exactly what it was, but Ning Weidong just had a feeling that something was going on between these two people. But on second thought, it doesn't seem like a big deal. Wang Ye is 27 years old this year, about the same age as Hu Bayi, and has already become an old maid. Needless to say, Hu Bayi is tall, handsome, and has a righteous face. He is a simpler version of Ning Weidong, but his background is much better than Ning Weidong's. The only drawback is that it is not very presentable to talk about work in this day and age. Although Ning Weidong had previously promised to help Hu Bayi transfer his personnel relations and restore his cadre level. But this is not so easy. Until now, Hu Bayi is still a member of the large collective organization in Dongyi Company. As for Wang Ye, although her personality is a bit rigid, she is not bad looking either. She is definitely a beauty with a score of over 80. It's just that due to her job and personality, she dresses like an old cadre. Not to mention work, the cadres who are trained as key personnel by the Ministry of Foreign Education have both parents at home and are also state cadres. When you think about it this way, you know what, these two people are really a good match. Ning Weidong returned to his room and while taking a shower he was daydreaming about pairing Hu Bayi and Wang Ye. After I finished washing, I didn’t rush to eat.

First of all, I had eaten barbecue at noon and was not too hungry. Secondly, it takes time to clean bear paws. It would take at least two hours to prepare them. What’s more, it’s a wild big brown bear. A big bear paw is almost as big as Ning Weidong’s head. After changing clothes, I returned to the living room of the villa. Ning Weidong was surprised to find that Ning Wei was actually reading a Russian-Chinese dictionary that he had found from somewhere. "Have you learned Russian?" Ning Weidong walked over and asked. Ning Wei was concentrating so hard that he was startled and called out "Third Brother". He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "Well, I thought it might be useful in the future, so I wanted to learn it first." Ning Weidong nodded secretly in his heart. It is said that Ning Wei is born to be successful. Opportunity awaits those who are prepared. What is prepared is what Ning Wei is like. Ning Weidong said: "Very good, keep going, you will understand... just go find Comrade Lao Li." Ning Wei was stunned. He thought Ning Weidong said, "If you don't understand, come to me." But he was fooled and the blame was put on Li Peizhong. On the other side, Li Peizhong was also stunned. How come he came to me? Ning Weidong looked at him: "Comrade Lao Li, is it okay~" Li Peizhong reacted and quickly patted his chest and said, "No problem, Xiaowei, if you have any questions, just come to me." He was just a translator and could not afford to offend Ning Weidong, the devil. Didn't he see that Wang Ye was almost crying with anger? Others may not know, but he knows that Wang Ye’s background is not simple. But then again, more friends mean more paths. It might not be a bad idea to make friends with Ning Wei through the opportunity of learning Russian. At this time Hu Bayi and Wang Ye also came out of the house. "Comrade Ning Weidong, I would like to report to you on the work that Comrade Hu Bayi and I have done in the past few days." Wang Ye went straight to Ning Weidong. Having just finished a shower, Wang Ye was smelling of shampoo. It is less serious and more feminine. Ning Weidong noticed Hu Bayi from the corner of his eye, and it turned out that this guy never took his eyes off Wang Ye. Wang Ye took out a notebook and began to talk about his work over the past few days. Although Sulian does not implement a ticket system and does not restrict people from purchasing any goods, many goods on the market are in short supply. Especially for many daily necessities, many stores have prices marked on them, but when you ask, they don’t have them. If you want to buy it, you either have to wait, as you don’t know when it will be available. If you can’t wait, you can only ask someone to buy it for you or pay a high price on the black market. However, in general, the operation of social commodities is still relatively stable, and only a few commodities are in this situation. It’s just that these products are in short supply and are more likely to leave an impression on people. Ning Weidong nodded. This was pretty much what he expected. He asked again, "What about the black market?"

Wang Ye turned his head to look at Hu Bayi, his eyes showing a flash of emotion, but he immediately suppressed it and said calmly: "There are many black markets in Boli. There is a large-scale pigeon market in the southern suburbs, similar to the pigeon market in Beijing..." Ning Weidong nodded. Wang Ye continued, "Here they mainly sell some of the more scarce daily necessities and small commodities. There is also a smaller but more secretive black market. We have never been there, but we heard about it. It is usually on Saturdays, and it is said that you can buy foreign TVs and tape recorders..." Ning Weidong also guessed about this. It was not surprising that even without him, Su Lian was still able to get away with it. But the scale shouldn't be that big, so it shouldn't be a problem. After Wang Ye finished speaking, Ning Weidong praised him and said, "I think it's almost time for us to go back. In the next two days, you and Lao Hu should buy all the vodka available on the market and we will take it back." Wang Ye nodded without asking why. After finishing this, Ning Weidong looked at the time, stood up and said, "Let's go eat bear paws~" The group left the villa and walked to the main building of the guesthouse. As soon as I walked in, I saw Hawkins Karna talking to someone at the front desk. When she found Ning Weidong, the woman immediately turned around and said, "Xie Liaosha is in the restaurant~" Ning Weidong thanked him and continued walking inside. It was still the same room as last time. Seryosha was already inside. When he saw Ning Weidong and others coming, he immediately stood up and greeted them warmly. After a while, several dishes made from today's hunting game were served. The cooking method is still mainly barbecue, except for the last dish, bear paw, which is cooked in a pressure cooker, followed the Chinese method. It is cooked on low heat until it is soft, and finally poured with red sticky soup. I don’t know how it tastes, but at least it looks quite appetizing. Seryosha asked the waiter to separate the bear paws and cut a piece for each person. It was Ning Weidong’s first time eating bear paws, and he was full of curiosity and anticipation. But he also knew that this bear paw might not be able to live up to his expectations. After all, reality is not a cartoon, and no matter how good the ingredients are, they can never really glow. Sure enough, when the bear paw entered the mouth, it was soft and tasty, with meat and tendons, and was quite delicious. However, the bear paws made by Sulian are different from those made in China. In China, no matter what kind of claws they are, we only pluck the hair and leave the skin. The Speed ​​Linkers, including some places in Europe, are directly exposing the truth. This makes the bear paw lack the gelatin of the bear skin, and the taste is a bit weaker. Having said that, even if the bear skin was kept, Ning Weidong didn’t think it was much more delicious than pig’s trotters. But after all, I got to taste the second dish from "Menu of the Dishes". Even though it wasn't steamed, I was satisfied. After the meal, everyone left, and Ning Weidong stayed to have another drink with Zhang Luo and Xie Liaosha. Xie Liaosha knew that drinking was just an excuse and Ning Weidong must have something to discuss with him.

The two came out of the restaurant, and Seryosha said, "I'll take you to the top to see my childhood dream." "Childhood dream?" Ning Weidong was slightly surprised, but found it interesting. One of them was holding a bottle of wine, the other holding a glass, and they went up the stairs. When he reached the fourth floor, Seryosha didn't stop and kept walking up. But looking from the outside, the main building of this guesthouse has only four floors, and if you go up further you will reach the roof. It's so cold and dark outside. What can we do on the roof? A childhood dream. Ning Weidong became even more curious. Seryosha walked in front, pushed open the door above the stairs with a creak, and stepped in. Ning Weidong followed him in. Then with a "click", Seryosha turned on the power switch. "Brush~brush~brush~" After a few consecutive sounds, the scene in front of my eyes suddenly lit up. Ning Weidong looked at the room and suddenly realized that it was a small observatory! No wonder Seryosha wanted to come up. On the roof of the guesthouse, there was a hemispherical house covered with the same glass roof as the hot spring swimming pool below. This kind of structure cannot be seen from downstairs. Inside there is an astronomical telescope with a tube diameter thicker than an adult's thigh. Next to it is a large bookshelf filled with various astronomy books and magazines, both in Russian and English. Next to the bookshelf is a set of models of solar system planets, as well as models of various spacecraft and artificial satellites manufactured by Sulian. Ning Weidong didn't expect that Xie Liaosha was also a person with cosmic dreams. At this moment, Ning Weidong suddenly had an urge to ask him if he wanted to be the district chief. "How is it?" Seryosha proudly showed off his secret base. Ning Weidong could feel that he was really investing money to become friends with Ning Weidong. This kind of bond of friendship cannot be formed by drinking a few times or swearing oaths. It requires continuous investment of costs. Only when the sunk cost is large enough, the firewall will be higher when considering betrayal. Of course, the prerequisite is that Ning Weidong can turn the previous description into reality. Making money is not shameful, and it’s not a question of who is trying to please whom. Ning Weidong looked around and exclaimed: "It's really... amazing." Then he walked to an extremely exquisite rocket model and said: "Can I take it?" Seryosha nodded: "Of course, we are brothers, and brothers should share." Ning Weidong reached out and picked up the model and examined it carefully: "This is the N1 rocket!" Seryosha was surprised and asked, "You even know n1?" Ning Weidong sighed: "Of course, it is too famous."

Seryosha shrugged. "It's probably not a good reputation." Ning Weidong pursed his lips and put the rocket model back. This super-large rocket was designed by SpeedLink in order to compete with Aramco for the moon landing. It is a heavy rocket capable of sending people to the moon. Unfortunately, due to technical reasons, all four test launches failed. This forced SpeedLink to abandon its plan to land on the moon and focus on developing the space station project. Seryosha didn't want to continue the topic, so he came to the telescope and invited, "Brother, do you want to see Jupiter with your own eyes?" Ning Weidong had to cooperate with the colorful sedan chair, and asked in surprise, "Can you see it here?" Seryosha began to tinker with it skillfully, but after a while he suddenly frowned. Ning Weidong was watching from the side. He knew nothing about astronomical telescopes and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?" Seryosha kept moving his hands and said, "Small problem, the equatorial mount is stuck~" Before he finished speaking, there was a slight click and Seryosha said "OK". He put his eyes on the eyepiece, fiddled with it for a few more times, stood up and said, "Come and see~" Ning Weidong stepped forward and put his eyes on the eyepiece of the telescope. A huge sphere immediately appeared in the field of vision, with a huge dark brown spot in the lower half, which was the famous 'Great Red Spot of Jupiter'. Whether before the time travel or in this life, this was the first time Ning Weidong observed the celestial bodies in space through an astronomical telescope. That kind of visual shock is not a picture or a 3D model, but a real planet. "How does it feel? It's quite shocking, right..." Seryosha next to him smiled and kept introducing his hobby to Ning Weidong. Ning Weidong looked at it for a while, and although he thought it was good, he only tried it briefly. He said things like "Not bad, that's great", but it was better not to let him get an astronomical telescope to see it himself. The two sat down on the sofa next to the telescope. There was a single-door refrigerator between the two single sofas, and Seryosha took out two cans of Coke skillfully. Ning Weidong opened the ring and talked about what he had left to discuss: "What do you think of the Vietnamese man who was with Khoramov today?" Seryosha took a sip of Coke and said, "You mean Ruan Xuan Dinh? He and Khoramov were classmates at Moscow University." "College classmates?" Ning Weidong frowned. Seryosha waved his hand. "It's hard to say, actually. Moscow University is so big. They are not in the same year, nor are they studying the same major. I guess they didn't even know each other when they were in school. It's just a name, so it's easy to talk about it." Ning Weidong nodded. Seryosha continued, "In the past two years, Ruan Xuan Dinh has come here often and interacted with us. He is relatively well-behaved." Ning Weidong pursed his lips and said, "Following the rules before doesn't mean we will follow them in the future. We must be on guard against this person. I'm afraid he might do something bad." Seryosha had not paid much attention to Ruan Xuanting, but at this moment he was startled.

Ning Weidong continued: "The current situation is there, don't tell me you don't understand Yue's little tricks." Seryosha's expression was a little serious, as Li from Vietnam had just visited Moscow a while ago. Although the newspapers declared that the visit was a complete success and the friendship was unbreakable. But in fact, Li Zhu did not get the assistance and support he wanted during this trip. On the battlefield, the State of Yue was completely at a disadvantage. Ning Weidong continued, "I think, at this juncture, the Kingdom of Yue would not want to see any easing of our relationship. If they find out... what do you think they will do?" Seryosha looked gloomy. Is there any doubt about this? They will definitely try every means to sabotage. Throughout history, destruction has always been easier than construction. Nguyen Xuan Dinh doesn't even need to make a big noise. As long as he can create a little friction on the border, he can attract attention and make a big deal out of it. At that time, all plans of Ning Weidong and Xie Liaosha will have to be put on hold. Thinking of that possibility, Seryosha's face became even uglier. He said in a deep voice: "Brother, what do you want to do?" A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he spoke. Although Nguyen Xuan Dinh's identity is not ordinary, it is not impossible to kill him in the territory of the Sulian. Blocking someone's financial path is like killing their parents. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of rubles in profit every month, not to mention Nguyen Xuan Dinh alone, even if there are ten more, they will all die. Ning Weidong shook his head: "This won't solve the problem. If we get rid of Ruan Xuanting, they can still send Ruan Xiating and Ruan Qiuting." The word "we" sounded very pleasing to Seryosha's ears. When two people could discuss murder and robbery together, it showed that their friendship was quite solid. "So how do you solve the problem?" Seryosha asked. Ning Weidong thought for a moment and said, "The key is still in the Far East. If no one is colluding with the outside world, the Kingdom of Yue will not be able to cause any trouble. I'm afraid..." Seryosha asked, "You mean Khoramov... the people behind him?" Ning Weidong said "hmm". Seeing Nguyen Xuan Dinh suddenly today also made him feel troubled. As the old saying goes, we are not afraid of no good things, but we are afraid of no good people. If it weren't for Ruan Xuanting, Ning Weidong could have just focused on cooperating with Seryosha's faction. As for how the local factions, exile factions, and the military in the Far East would divide the cake, he wouldn't have to consider it at all. Even if they get their heads chopped off, it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't affect Ning Weidong's ability to make money. But now, something has changed. Nguyen Xuan Dinh, who represents Vietnam, is the biggest variable. Once Ning Weidong cooperates with Xie Liaosha, sets up the business and starts making money.

I don't believe Khoramov isn't jealous. There are only two possible outcomes: either someone intervenes and shares the cake. But by then, the local faction will have already tasted the sweetness, so can they still let the fat meat fly away? Moreover, in the Far East, local factions are strong and exile factions are weak. There is a high probability that the exile faction to which Khoramov belongs will not be able to get involved. There will be another possibility: if you can't get it, you will destroy it, everyone will go their separate ways, and no one will eat it. Especially the people of Speed ​​Link, who are accustomed to doing such things that harm others and benefit themselves. And it is not difficult to do so. As long as a little friction is created, the exiles can take advantage of the situation to make things bigger. The State of Yue had been on the edge of the Chinese civilization circle for two thousand years, and there were always some sinister tricks and evil schemes. "Exiles..." Seryosha said in a low voice, and for a moment he had no idea what to do. - It’s the third consecutive day of 10,000 views. Please subscribe and give me your monthly votes! (End of this chapter)
