Chapter 357 Pot of Beans
"Boom, boom." The roar of the helicopter echoed in the sky above the city.
Bukhara, the third largest city in Uzbekistan, is located on the banks of the Zeravshan River Delta. The Shakhkud Canal runs through the city. It has a history of more than 2,500 years and a population of about 250,000. It is one of the oldest cities in Central Asia.
From the sky, you can see that the city still has its ancient appearance, but also exudes new vitality.
This is a beautiful land with a long history and simple folk customs. Unfortunately, due to the problems of some people, this place has become depressing!
"Report to the secretary, two armed helicopters have been spotted!" In the center of Bukhara, in a villa as magnificent as a palace, Karimov, who was still sleepy, received a report from his bodyguard.
Those two armed helicopters were coming in our direction! There were no armed helicopter troops stationed nearby!
Attack helicopter! Karimov immediately thought of General Andrei in the Kasan base. Is he coming?
"Hurry, get ready to welcome him!" Karimov at this time obviously did not realize that Andrei was here to cause trouble for him. After all, the army is the army, and the army will not interfere in local affairs. Even if he had done something wrong last night, General Andrei would definitely not be able to find any handle on him, let alone come here to accuse him.
Therefore, there is only one possibility. The pair of sisters sent last night must have made General Andrei very happy? That's why he came to Bukhara to meet me.
Thinking of the pair of sisters, it's such a pity. I raised them to this age and was reluctant to let them go. I didn't expect that they would be taken advantage of by General Andre. If he doesn't love money, then he loves sex. He must like one of them, right?
"Hurry, get ready to welcome General Andre!" The bodyguards were in a panic.
In the open space in the back garden of the villa, the bodyguards lined up in two rows and watched the helicopter land steadily on it. The propeller stirred the air flow and blew their clothes into disarray.
"General Andrei, welcome to Bukhara for inspection." Karimov went to meet him and saw General Andrei coming out of the helicopter. He wondered, where are the sisters? Why didn't they bring them with them?
This guy, wouldn't he only like virgins? If so, I can find a group of them from Bukhara. It's not realistic to change one every day, but I can still find one to accompany him every week.
"Secretary Karimov, you are here uninvited. Please don't be so polite." Andrei said, "Call all the leaders at all levels in the state here. I want to hold a meeting for them."
What a big appetite! It seems that he is going to ask for gifts from everyone! This is really good news for me! Karimov smiled and said, "Yes, I will notify them immediately. Everyone should come here within half an hour! General Andrei, did you sleep well last night?"
This was a double entendre. Andrei glanced at Karimov and did not answer him. Instead, he said, "This villa is nice, isn't it? It should be worth at least several hundred thousand rubles, right?"
"General, you have a good eye. The things in here are worth at least 500,000 rubles." Karimov said, "General Andrei, if you like, I will move out and leave this place to you. There are also twenty or so other things like the two last night. They are all here for you to serve at any time."
Giving this villa to Andrei made Karimov feel a little painful, but the man in front of him was a big celebrity in Moscow! His backer was gone, and it was important to find a new backer! Not to mention one villa here, any other villa, as long as General Andrei needed it, he could give it to him at any time!
"How much is your salary?" Andre continued to ask.
"Three hundred rubles per month." Karimov continued. At this time, he already felt that something was wrong. These questions seemed to be asked with a purpose!
Salaries in the Soviet Union were not high. Even General Secretary Andropov only earned 1,200 rubles a month. This was not the Russia of later generations. The ruble depreciated to the point of being like waste paper. Finally, new rubles were printed, and one ruble was equivalent to one thousand old rubles.
At this time, one ruble could be exchanged for two dollars!
"General Andrei, we are honored to learn that you are coming to our Bukhara." At this moment, Akilov, who lived nearest, had arrived, his hair a little messy, and he was obviously in a hurry.
"This place is quite big, let's hold the meeting here later." Andrei said and winked at Vasily and Molenko.
The two nodded.
"Comrades, this trip to Bukhara Province has given me deep feelings." After waiting for more than twenty minutes, all the officials arrived. In the open space in the back garden of the villa, Andrei sat on a temporary chair that served as a podium and gave a speech to the officials who were sitting on small stools below.
"In the beginning, during the October Revolution, our party overthrew the rule of the Tsar and established the Soviet regime through the revolution of workers and peasants. We are the servants of the people, not another privileged class riding on the heads of the people! Our power is given by the people, and we are here to serve the people! However, when I came here, I found that the people here can no longer live! Moscow's policies have become another thing when they come here. Comrades, this is worth pondering!"
"General Andrei, the riots you heard about by the mob are not true at all. They are class enemies who hate the Soviets." Hearing Andrei say this, Karimov panicked and said quickly.
"So, you know everything about what happened in Imya Village?" Andrei asked Karimov in a cold tone.
"No, I don't know anything about Imya Village." Karimov said, "General Andrei, is this what you came here to talk about today?"
"Yes, that's right! I saw the bloody village with my own eyes. I don't believe that such a thing would happen on our Soviet land! This is an independent kingdom! Moscow's policies have encountered resistance here and cannot be implemented! Moreover, any decree will be modified by the authorities just to plunder more wealth from the people!" Andre's voice resounded throughout the villa: "If we don't resolutely fight corruption, the Soviet people will not forgive us, and history will not forgive us! We are the sinners of the Soviet Union!"
At this moment, Andrei thought of the future, when the Soviet Union collapsed, these termites cheered and they could openly turn the state property they had embezzled into their own property! The direct cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union was these termites!
"Someone, arrest all these people!"
"Yes!" The soldiers of Unit A had been waiting for this moment. They rushed forward, hit these guys hard with the butts of their rifles, and tied them up with ropes that had been prepared long ago!
