In 1994, Ukraine’s annual GDP plummeted again by 20%, from US$65.6 billion in 1993 to US$52.5 billion. It was a peak of US$82.7 billion before the disintegration, and the overall decline was 37%.

Perhaps the only thing that is better off the troubled brother Russia is the restoration of Ukrainian food production.

Relying on the most fertile large tracts of black land in Europe, Ukraine’s annual grain output in 1994 was 27 million tons, which was an increase of 145% from the lowest point of 11 million tons in 1991. However, this figure still barely exceeds the peak of 52 million before the disintegration. Half of the ton of grain output.

The severe economic recession has made Ukrainian citizens have a severe shortage of all living supplies except barely able to fill their stomachs. The whole country, even the capital, Kiev, is in depression, store shelves are empty and closed, streets are few vehicles and pedestrians, and the flea market is full of all the things that can be sold in residents' homes, books, records, tableware, cameras, pianos... ...Just in exchange for some expensive living supplies in this midwinter.

At the coldest time of the year, this depression became more shocking.

Celia Miller left Kiev on the morning of January 10th, local time, and rushed to Rivne Oblast along the wide national highway built in the Soviet era. The large tracts of snow-covered urban villages along the way were such a bleak scene, even giving People have a sense of dead silence.

As a public official of the Pentagon who once the US government directly confronted the former Soviet Union, Celia couldn't help feeling pity in the face of such a scene.

At noon, we arrived in Rivne, the capital of Rivne region, on a sunny day.

Compared with the decline seen all the way from Kiev, there are obviously more pedestrians and vehicles on the streets of the capital of the northwestern Ukrainian state under the sun, even if the temperature is still below zero at noon, wrapped in thick clothing. The faces of the people of Russia do not have the kind of numbness to the status quo and the future of Kiev, but instead carry a certain vitality that can be easily felt.

This is a city of hope.

The key to Livni's ability to do this is money.

At the beginning of 1994, Ukraine and the United States and Russia signed an agreement to abandon nuclear weapons, only in exchange for the US official special fund of 175 million US dollars and 155 million US dollars in economic aid, totaling 330 million US dollars.

In comparison, in the past year, only the Westeros system has invested more than 200 million U.S. dollars through measures such as purchasing military supplies, supporting the Ukrainian front-line military service company team, and investing in Ukraine. Part of it flows to the border town of this state capital in northwest Ukraine.

As the resident of UMFS mercenaries, the Westeros system directly brought thousands of'high-spending people' to Rivni. The Westeros system invested heavily in the city of Rivni and gave the city Thousands of job opportunities have been created, all of which ultimately spurred Rivni’s various industries to rejuvenate.

When Simon came to this city in August last year, a large number of residents fled due to economic downturn and material shortages. The number of residents in Livni has fallen from 290,000 at its peak to 220,000.

In less than half a year, because of the large number of job opportunities brought by the UMFS mercenary stationing and the investment in the Westeros system, a large influx of people in the four states and counties that were moved by the wind, the number of residents in Livni has quickly exceeded 300,000.

Looking at everything around her, Celia realized that she was actually doing a good thing on her trip without talking about all the game factors. Only by getting rid of those unscrupulous blood-sucking assholes, can this hopeful city develop better and the residents here can see the future.

otherwise.

Celia knew very well the strong personality of her young boss.

If he fails to achieve his goal, he will really abandon his position in Ukraine.

If the Westeros system is completely withdrawn, everything here will only fall back into dead silence like everywhere else in Ukraine.

Celia and the mission team from the Kiev authorities passed through the city and arrived directly at the Rivni City Hall. After meeting with Ken Dixon who had arrived here in advance, things started quickly without waiting for everyone to have lunch.

The governor of Rivne Region, Yuri Miloslav, who came to greet him, was relieved of his position and detained on the spot, and the mayor of Rivni City, Andrei Smirnov, who had been in contact with the Westeros system in advance, took over as governor. , The Rovno state police system, controlled by the UMFS president Klim Delevyanko’s family, launched an operation to arrest Miloslav’s family and direct lines according to the list listed in advance.

In the evening, the swift officialdom earthquake in Rivne region had come to an end.

When the citizens of Livni were unaware of the wind and did not know what was going on, when they watched TV at night, they finally saw relevant news from the TV station that had been acquired by the Westeros system.

Looking at the large sums of cash found in the governor’s Miloslav family’s mansion on the TV screen, an entire villa living room was laid out. The panic of ordinary residents quickly disappeared, and then they turned into anger. The director of the President’s Office personally gave a speech about Kiev. After the authorities are determined to fight corruption and restore the economy, the residents' mood has completely calmed down.

The task Simon gave Celia was not to clear the officialdom of Livni City, but to remove the biggest obstacle that might hinder the development of the Westeros system in this state and county.

Kill the monkey and curse the chicken.

Therefore, Celia and Dixon personally held a party in a hotel in Livney when the TV station reported on the governor’s stepping down that evening.

Mainly to appease people.

Facing the thunderous methods of the Westeros system, the Rivne state government system, which is like a frightening bird, has also settled down after Celia personally expressed it. There is no need to make any clear expressions. Everyone has a concept in their hearts. , The Westeros system has absolute green light rights in this state and county and cannot be provoked.

Combining certain words when communicating with her boss, Celia also understood another important meaning of Simon's arrangement.

The Westeros system needs absolute authority for this state and county, but it will not protect other foreign investors. As long as the officialdom of Rivne State does not provoke the Westeros system, it doesn't matter what it wants. Judging from the current signs, the city of Rivni is expected to become the economic center of northwestern Ukraine, coupled with its proximity to other European countries, it will definitely attract more investors in the future.

Then, those people will find that the investment environment here is actually not that good.

Only the Westeros system can be unimpeded.

Correspondingly, this state will also rely more on the Westeros system.

Take away the governor and some direct lines, the matter did not end there.

After cutting down the government level and reaching out to the biggest palm of the Westeros system to kill monkeys and chickens, there is also the purge of the Westeros system's own power in Rivne State.

January 11, early morning.

In the west of Rivni, there is a residential house with a separate courtyard. This is the Besonoskov family who just moved to Rivni at the end of last year.

Eve Besonoskova accompanied the two girls back before Christmas last year. Originally, they wanted their parents to move here from Kiev. After paying a salary in advance, Eve claimed to her parents that she was on a business trip this time. After discussing with my family, I bought this property not far from the UMFS family's community. The family moved here after Christmas.

Mainly because there are many job opportunities in Livni.

After the New Year, both father and brother successfully entered the Aldek company's factory. Eve, who was actually very thin-skinned, took the initiative to call Sergey Komorov a thank-you call, and did not rely on it when looking for a job. The idea of ​​a relationship with a certain man, so I didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

Eve didn’t know, her other identity was reported to Livni after confirmation. She herself became the head of the security service team of Chengnan Villa. After returning, she was equipped with an extra car and a mobile phone. None of these can be owned by anyone in Livni. The six girls in Chengnan Villa do not have their own cars and mobile phones.

Because it was a working day, the Besonoskov family got up very early.

Eve has her own room in the Chengnan Villa, and there is another apartment nearby. However, when she is not on duty, she still prefers to go home and live.

Before eight o'clock, the family sat at the dining table.

Helping the little sister Lyudmila, who was confused and shouted, served a bowl of rice, and thoughtfully helped her arrange the tableware. Eve quietly listened to her parents discussing her brother's marriage, and she was very satisfied.

When his elder brother Vladimir was in Kiev, he had a very stable girlfriend. It was just because he had not had a job. The woman’s family never agreed to marry the two. Now things have finally turned around. The girl will also move to Reeve from Kiev. Ni, the two plan to get married in March.

Eve quietly negotiated with his father in private that some of the money in his hand could still buy a real estate for his brother, but was rejected. The father thought that his son was lucky enough to find a job, and the rest should be his own business.

After breakfast, my father and brother went out first and drove to the building material factory in the suburbs. There was an imported black Mercedes-Benz sedan parked in the courtyard. The father and brother didn’t mean Eve to send him. The main reason was that my father was afraid of getting the car dirty. Alexander Besonoskov has to change his clothes and shoes before riding in this car very few times.

The younger sister has no such concerns.

After the father and brother left, Lyudmila dragged her sister to ask her to drive herself to school.

The 16-year-old Lyudmila had dropped out of school two years ago, and Eve also knew that her sister's academic performance was not good, and she liked to play crazy.

However, when they came to Rivne, the whole family unanimously agreed to send their sister to school again.

The members of the Besonoskov family are tall. Although the 16-year-old Lyudmila is not as tall as her sister, she is already 182cm tall, but she is slim, not at all the heroic spirit of her sister, but has a more beautiful face. . Because of her height, Lyudmila is very resistant to going to school, because the girl who is very mature both physically and psychologically does not want to stay in the classroom with those little kids.

The unanimous decision of the father, mother, brother and sister was helpless.

Lyudmila hopes to become a model. A year ago, she was bewitched by an unreliable model agent and almost ran away from home to Poland. Fortunately, her father was stopped at the station. Since then, the family has been very strict with girls. .

Seeing the sister who was in the co-pilot and bid farewell to her mother who was a full-time housewife, Eve drove out of her yard.

The school my sister attended was the school for children of UMFS family members invested and built by Simon. It officially opened on January 9. It only provides a full range of education from kindergarten to high school for children of UMFS family members. Anyone familiar with the insider of this school knows that this school The'faculty strength' of China can even be described as shocking, but more than one hundred teachers who once held the title of university professor were collected from all over Ukraine.

No matter it is in any country or region, as long as the parents with a little vision will not neglect the education of their children.

Therefore, many government officials are trying to send their children into this school.

Although most of them are direct descendants, the educational style of this private school is not laissez-faire at all. On the contrary, it is very strict. In the future, all students of junior high school or above are expected to have military training for one month every year. No one will do it because of their parents’ duties. For some preferential treatment, the school has also set up a strict assessment and scholarship system, which is completely based on academic performance, and does not tolerate students who violate school discipline.

It took less than ten minutes for the Mercedes Benz to arrive near the campus.

Eve didn't drive the car directly to the school gate.

However, watching the passing students pay attention to the car, Lyudmila still enjoyed it very much. After a while pretending to organize her schoolbag, she turned to Eve with a smile, "Sister, can you give me some money?"

Eve looked at her sister, with some doting in her eyes, but did not take out her wallet: "What do you want, I will buy it for you."

Lyudmila opened her mouth and came: "One of my classmates has a birthday today. Everyone will go to her house to join the party in the evening. I must buy a birthday present, right?"

Eve is not a sociable person, but she hopes her sister can have her own circle of friends. Even if she thinks she may be lying, she hesitated and took out her wallet from her bag.

Eve's satchel is very ordinary, but the wallet was a gift from the girls Ekaterina and Natalia during the last trip, and he accepted it without much thought.

Lyudmila saw her sister pull out the Chanel wallet with the double C logo from her shoulder bag, and a small star immediately lit up in her eyes. She was still slender and slender in the down jacket and leaned forward, her little hand holding Eve's arm. : "Sister, can you give me this wallet?"

Eve was puzzled: "Huh?"

Seeing her sister's expression like this, Lyudmila probably understood it, and rolled her eyes, and immediately took out her empty wallet from her schoolbag: "Sister, I'll change it with you."

Seeing her sister handing her wallet over, Eve didn't think much about it, but took out the credentials and banknotes from her wallet, put them in the ordinary wallet her sister had handed over, and handed the pink Chanel to the other party.

"There is still money, money."

Lyudmila took the wallet, fumbled it in her hand, then remembered it again, and quickly came over again.

There are not many banknotes in Eve's wallet, a few large Ukrainian hryvnias, and about one hundred dollars in change.

Now in Rivni, because UFMS mercenaries’ salaries are directly settled in U.S. dollars, U.S. dollars are much more common than hryvnia. Everyone doesn’t like the depreciating local currency, so there are even various discounts when shopping in U.S. dollars. .

Lyudmila’s eyes were sharp, and she collected all the dollar bills in her sister’s hands in twos or twos. The hryvnia didn’t move, pretending to laugh cutely and was about to push the door and get out of the car. Fished.

Looking at the little sister who was holding the purse to her chest like a kitten protecting the food, Eve certainly didn't mean to fight, just took off the fluffy white leather cap on Lyudmila’s head and put on her own knitted hat. The voice confessed: "You are going to school, don't wear this kind of hat in the future. Also, money is not allowed to be squandered."

Lyudmila lit his head repeatedly, like a baby, waiting for her sister to let go of her, get out of the car quickly, and finally waved to Eve and ran towards the school gate.

Eve kept watching her sister enter the school gate, only then restarted the car.

Just turned around to go to Chengnan Villa, her mobile phone rang, she stopped the car again, picked up her mobile phone, and heard a few words eagerly there, Eve confessed, hung up the phone quickly, and hurriedly started the car all the way go with.

Upon arriving at the Chengnan Villa, the two groups of people here were facing each other at the door of the villa.

The female bodyguard on duty saw Eve's car coming, and immediately walked over and pointed to some men and women standing at the gate of the villa: "It's them, they want to take three Annika."

As they were talking, another black Mercedes of the same model as Eve arrived.

Celia Miller got off the bus this time.
