Chapter 125 Summoned
The Kremlin, once the core of the Soviet Union, one of the most powerful countries in the world, also symbolizes the highest power of this red empire.☆→ Here, Stalin once commanded his generals to defeat the arrogant Nazi Germany and crush Hitler's fantasy to unify Europe and conquer the whole world. After the victory of World War II, the Soviet Union took the prestige of the victorious country and became a superpower on par with the United States. The Warsaw Pact with the Soviet Union as the core and the NATO with the United States as the core, opened the curtain of the decades of Cold War until the final disintegration of the former Soviet Union.
Now, the Kremlin is still the center of Russia's rights. Although Russia, which inherits most of the "property" of the Soviet Union, is still one of the largest countries in the world second only to the United States, compared with the former Soviet Union's polar confrontation with the United States, Russia has lost the title of "superpower".
Vladimir, the current president of Russia, served as president for the first time in 2000. After being re-elected as president, he served as prime minister again, chairman of the Unified Russian Party, and chairman of the Russian-Belarusian Union Ministerial Council, he served as president for the third time in 2011. This president, who was once a special department, can be said to have firmly grasped the highest rights of the country during the 15-year presidential term. Now, his third presidential term is over, but the whole of Russia, including the whole world, firmly believes that Vladimir continues to be re-elected for the fourth term. Even according to the Russian Constitution, after his fourth term expires, Vladimir may transform himself into another position as prime minister, continue to hold power in this way, and then prepare for his fifth term.
This powerful figure recognized in the eyes of the Eastern and Western countries, and is also a great Russian nationalist. He misses the glorious period of the former Soviet Union in his heart. He began to master Russia's highest rights. In addition to improving Russia's economic conditions, his main job is to rebuild a great Russian empire that is comparable to or even surpasses the Soviet Union, thereby breaking the United States' status as a superpower.
The brilliant Kremlin on the golden wall was built during the Romanov dynasty. The ancient and gorgeous decoration in the palace was dazzling. Maxim was a senior academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He was also the best physicist in Russia. At this moment, he was sitting in a reception room in the Kremlin, waiting for the summons of the President with a nervous mood.
The wide sofa, the gorgeous coffee table, and the exquisite porcelain placed on the coffee table. The coffee in the gold-edged teacup was already cold. Maxim didn't touch it at all since he sat down. As for the famous paintings of the sixteenth century hanging on the wall of the reception room, he had no interest in appreciating them. Instead, he brows slightly locked. His eyes were staring at a corner of the coffee table, as if he was doing in-depth research on the patterns carved by the coffee table.
Of course he could not be studying any patterns. As a physicist, Maxim has never been interested in art. The reason why he has this expression is that he is considering some issues in his heart.
After a while, the door of the reception room opened and a presidential attendant in a black suit walked in: "Mr. Maxim. Please come with me."
Hearing this, Maxim's butt seemed to be installed with a spring. He quickly got up. The other party didn't say much, turned around and walked out the door. Maxim quickly caught up, followed the other party's footsteps through the corridor, and then arrived at an office.
He knocked on the door softly and opened it. The waiter nodded to Maxim. Maxim, who was standing outside the door, subconsciously tidied up his clothes, and then stepped into the door.
This is the office of President Vladimir. Compared with other rooms in the Kremlin, Vladimir's office is not very large. It looks like it is not much. It is about 100 square meters. The whole style is dark. One wall of the office is filled with high bookshelf. The bookshelf is full of books. There is a large window in the back of the house. The curtains with gorgeous tassels are half open. On the right is a medium-sized office desk. The Russian national emblem is inlaid directly above the back of the desk. Under the national emblem, Vladimir is sitting at the desk, staring at the computer display screen on the table with concentration.
When Maxim entered the door, Vladimir stood up from behind the desk with a smile, and extended his hand to greet him very kindly. Maxim did not dare to be negligent at all, and hurriedly walked a few steps and stretched out his hands to warmly greet Mr. President's health.
"Mr. Maxim, please sit down." After shaking hands with a smile, Vladimir reached out to the chair at the desk, and then asked him what he wanted to drink, whether it was coffee, black tea, or wine, as if he was facing an old friend?
Like other Russian men, Maxim usually has a hobby for alcoholic beverages, especially the best vodka, which is his favorite. But Maxim politely declined when asked by President Vladimir. This is not that he is polite, but that he knows very well that the man in front of him seems kind on the surface, but in fact he is an extremely iron-fisted figure, and he is called "New Tsar" in the whole of Russia and even the whole world.
Back then, during Vladimir's first presidency, the entire Russian economy was almost completely controlled by financial oligarchs. In the eyes of Western countries, Russia's financial oligarchs had already grasped the lifeline of Russia, and the Russian president was at best just the spokesperson role of those oligarchs.
But no one expected that shortly after becoming president, Vladimir took measures without hesitation, putting uncooperative financial oligarchs into prison one by one, confiscating their property, announcing their company to nationalize, and then strongly suppressing the opposition parties of various political parties, rectifying the entire Russian economic order and political arena in a very short time, thus truly grasping the highest rights of this great power.
The name of the new Tsar is not a joke. In a sense, Vladimir, as president, had greater rights than the Tsar of that year. He was undoubtedly the supreme ruler of this huge country.
Vladimir didn't care about Maxim's caution. He smiled and sat back on his seat, asking about the progress of the controlled thermonuclear fusion project led by Maxim.
When Maxim heard this question, he felt a slump. Although he had known that Vladimir called him to come and asked about this matter, because Maxim is currently responsible for Russia's controlled thermonuclear fusion project, the worst thing is that the progress of this project is very unoptimistic.
"Not optimistic? What is the main reason? Is there something wrong with the technology provided by the Americans to the United Nations? Or is your work not done well?" Vladimir asked back casually. Although his expression was very calm, Maxim sounded no different from being scolded. Suddenly, the cold sweat behind him suddenly came down.
