[The biggest crisis in Europe since World War II!][Ukrainian people stock up on daily necessities in fear of war]

As the crisis in Ukraine escalated, articles poured in non-stop.

– Russia is crazy. Are you really planning to push Ukraine?

– No matter how Russian it is, isn’t it unreasonable? The opponent is the world’s largest military alliance?

– Haha, NATO is a corpse except for the US anyway. Germany, France, and the Tang army, there is no answer if the US does not participate in the war

– But why is America like that? What Monroe Doctrine?

-NATO has a Eurofighter! When Eurofighter comes out, it’s all over!

-Is that finished? Su-35 shot

– Take this opportunity to push all the remaining stock and store it in the Black Sea.

– Ask the Eurofighter and go to Rafale!

-Visotsky-hyung, this is not the case. Who doesn’t need to dry it?

– What do you do after Kang Jin-hoo? Let it dry

The Soviet Union, which once divided the United States and the world, fell, and the Warsaw Pact was dissolved. Countries in Eastern Europe, which were at odds with Western Europe, began disarmament in order to make a living.

With the establishment of the EU, Europe has realized a political alliance beyond an economic alliance. It is expected that there will be no more wars in Europe, and Germany and France, which were military powers in the past, carried out disarmament.

At one time, the German Federal Army was rated as the strongest after the United States, and served as a de facto tanker for NATO. But that too is a thing of the past. The cavalry was disbanded, and the tanks were sold to other countries.

As a result, Russia failed to adequately respond militarily to the annexation of Crimea and the occupation of eastern Ukraine.

But this time it was different.

As the Russian army in the border area moved, the Polish army, the main force of NATO, also began to move toward Ukraine.

Rumors spread that a French submarine equipped with an SLBM had moved to the Black Sea. There was no way that Turkey would have approved the passage of nuclear submarines through the Bosphorus, so it was highly probable that it was just a rumor.

However, the spread of these rumors was proof that the situation was serious.

The Russian economy, which had been gradually recovering, collapsed again as emerging countries went bankrupt.

The CDS premium soared over 700bps in a month, and experts predicted a 77% chance of a Russian default.

The ruble plummeted day after day, and Russian companies were unable to repay their debts and were engulfed in fear of serial bankruptcy.

Russia’s external debt stood at $612 billion, far exceeding its foreign exchange reserves of $460 billion.

The people of Russia recalled the nightmare of a default in 1998. At that time, even civil servants could not receive their salaries due to the national bankruptcy, and as winter came, many people were freezing to death.

The people of the world’s largest natural gas producing country were even frozen to death because they couldn’t heat!

When this happened, the support base of President Vysotsky, who was like a stronghold, began to shake. The terrorist attacks in Crimea under these circumstances were enough to turn Russia upside down.

Taek-gyu asked as if he didn’t understand.

“Isn’t Russia already at war with Ukraine? What does it mean to come and declare war now?”

I shook my head.

“Strictly speaking, Russia and Ukraine are not at war.”

“Then what about the Russians who entered Ukraine?”

“They are not regular soldiers. Volunteers to support the independence of Novo Russia voluntarily armed themselves and ran. Surprisingly, they even have armored vehicles and surface-to-air missiles.”

“… … .”

Taek-gyu’s expression was lost for words.

“After all, the same goes for Crimea.”

Strictly speaking, Crimea was not forcibly taken over Ukraine’s territory by Russia. After the Crimean Autonomous Republic declared independence from Ukraine, it applied for accession to the Russian Federation, which Russia waited for and approved.

However, the process itself is illegal and has not been recognized internationally, as it is a violation of the Budapest Convention between Russia and Ukraine in the past.

In any case, it is an open secret that the Russian regular army is mixed with the volunteers and that they receive support from the Russian government.

It’s blindfolded, but if you do that, you can pretend that the other person doesn’t know. But if war was declared, the story would be different.

Failure to do so could lead to an all-out war between the EU and Russia in Ukraine. As the sense of crisis escalated, stock markets in Europe and Russia both plummeted.

In Kiev, foreign expatriates continued to flee, and as citizens began to stock up on daily necessities, the marts were empty.

I made contact with the Kremlin. After several attempts, I managed to get in touch with President Vysotsky.

He asked me in an official voice.

[Long time no see.]

“You must be very busy, I’m sorry. I have something I must tell you.”

[What’s going on?]

“Please stop the advance on Kiev.”

President Vysotsky was offended by my words.

[It is true that we are quite friendly, but that doesn’t mean we can cross the line. Because it has to do with Russia’s prestige. There is a Russian proverb that says, “It is not a sin to break the horns of a mad cow.”

Prestige is a very important issue in diplomacy.

Russia has the largest territory in the world, is a military power with nuclear weapons, and occupies a seat on the permanent member of the UN.

Despite the dissolution of the Soviet Union and various economic crises, it was treated as a brown bear with missing teeth and claws, but Russia was Russia no matter how downfall it was.



Even now, economically, there are few countries that can deal with Russia militarily.

No one should touch Russia. This was nothing short of a principle.

[The people want revenge. And as President, I have a duty to listen to the wishes of the people.]

For a moment, I wanted to ask, ‘Is a person who respects the people’s will a dictatorship?’, but I endured.

“If we attack Ukraine, relations with Europe will be irreversible.”

President Vysotsky raised his voice.

[What does that matter? Russia has been subjected to unfair sanctions by the West! How long did you think we would endure?]

“You invaded Ukraine first!” came to the throat, but he endured it.

Of course, President Vysotsky would not think so. He is so blunt in public that he says, ‘There is no country called Ukraine’.

To the extent that he was so angry, the damage caused by the Western sanctions was enormous. So Russia also accepted the Minsk Agreement.

Fortunately, the development and sale of the TWR opened up new links with the West, and as the Ukraine crisis subsided, the Russian army was scheduled to withdraw from Donbas and three regions sequentially.

At the same time, the lifting of economic sanctions and cooperation were scheduled to proceed immediately. President Vysotsky and his close personal acquaintance, President Ronald, also gave their support, saying, “The lifting of sanctions on Russia must be done as soon as possible.”

But President Ronald was nothing more than the current president of the plant. He has lost his political standing and has lost control of the Fed, not even the Senate and House, and even the Republican Party.

Moreover, as the EU was also engulfed in chaos, there was an atmosphere that the lifting of sanctions was over. Meanwhile, the Russian economy was in its worst state.

The easiest way to quell internal dissatisfaction is to make external enemies. In this case, it is Ukraine.

I’ve been putting up with the anticipation of lifting the sanctions, but there’s no sign that the sanctions will be lifted anyway, so you’re just going out?

Of course, President Vysotsky would not really want war. This was pressure to lift economic sanctions on Russia.

However, the EU needs an external enemy due to internal division as well. If it shows that it is being pushed back by Russia, Eastern European countries experiencing an economic crisis may leave.

As a result, the EU had no intention of backing down even a single step.

“I understand what the President is saying. Give me some time.”

[What can you do with time?]

“The current crisis will definitely subside. When that happens, dialogue will be enough to solve this problem.”

President Vysotsky said sarcastically.

[Looking at the current situation, do you really think so?]

Northern Ireland terrorism, People’s Liberation Army suppression of Hong Kong protesters, Russian invasion of Ukraine, etc.

Was all of this also what the Rothschilds intended? Like it or not, I can’t let it be like that.

“There will be no financial crisis. I will do anything to stop it.”

[Can you take responsibility for that?]

“If things go wrong, I will give up my stake in TWR.”

This is a sign that I have shown some determination.

President Vysotsky’s voice softened slightly.

[How much time do you need?]

“Two months.”

There was silence for a while. After a while, President Vysotsky said with a sigh.

[If there is a situation that shakes Russia even before that, there is nothing I can do about it.]

The reason he gave up even this much is probably because he believes in me. For now, this is the best I can do.

I breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. Does this mean that war is prevented from happening right away?

“Thank you, President.”

In Mariupul, a port city on the Black Sea coast, a NATO-Ukrainian coalition and Russian forces were engaged.

Both sides refrained from using tanks and missiles to prevent escalation and civilian casualties.

Bullets came and went, and shells exploded. Gunshots and screams resounded from all sides, and the soldiers who had fallen with blood cried out for help.

At that moment, I woke up from my dream. When I opened my eyes, I saw Ellie’s face.

she looked at me and asked(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Did you have another nightmare?”

“I think so.”

It was like watching a realistic war movie. If there’s a difference, it’s not that the actors act, but that people actually die.

His whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

I wiped off the sweat and drank water.

“I have a lot of nightmares these days. Are you okay?”

I smiled on purpose.

“It’s okay.”

“Your mother is also very worried. Call me every day to make sure you eat well after sleeping.”

Come to think of it, I didn’t even talk to her mother for several days. She got a lot of calls from all over the world, so she turned off her cell phone and didn’t answer incoming calls.

Perhaps she can’t sleep because she’s worried about her son.

“I need to call you.”

Ellie, who was looking at me softly, whispered.

“Thank you.”

“What?”

“For convincing China.”

I was surprised.

“How did you know?”

“Then you thought I didn’t know? I know everything just by looking at Jinhoo’s face.”

It must have been a long time since we had been together.

Ellie wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me.

“Don’t worry too much. Even if something goes wrong, it’s not Jinhoo’s fault.”

It felt warm and warm. Just holding her like this calmed her heart.

President Zhang Pinghua expressed his principled position that Hong Kong’s affairs should be resolved by the Hong Kong government. The protests continued every day, but the Hong Kong government was also in an atmosphere to refrain from suppressing the protests.

But it is still too early to be reassured.

The People’s Liberation Army is still stationed in Shenzhen and will take action whenever the situation worsens. The same goes for Russia.

Can I really stop all these things?
