"Once this is done, the $100 million will be transferred to your account immediately."
“Okay, I got it. I happen to have a classmate who works at the Mayo Clinic now. He’s a very skilled cardiac surgeon.”
"Please, William."
Since deciding to completely sell his soul, Walden felt there was nothing he wouldn't sell.
Moreover, Fang Zhenhua was not only very polite, but also treated him very well, so Walden gained both face and substance.
After securing William Walden's agreement, Fang Zhenhua contacted Yuri again via the hotel's phone.
He only said two words on the phone, "Done."
Upon hearing this in his uncle's office, Yuri clapped his hands in delight.
Lieutenant General Demitch looked at his nephew with curiosity and asked.
"Success?"
“It’s a success, Uncle. You can head to the capital now. But once you get there, don’t mention my boss to General Yazov. You can tell him that I have connections in the US.”
Having reached the rank of lieutenant general, Dimitri was no fool, so after thinking for a moment, he nodded.
"I'll be heading to the capital tomorrow. You stay in Odessa and wait for my news."
"Yes, uncle."
General Demitch burst forth with unprecedented passion after discovering that he had further opportunities.
The next day, he took a military train back to the capital and went directly to the home of his old leader.
When General Yazov returned home from get off work and saw Dimitri, he was still extremely shocked.
"Why are you here instead of in Odessa?"
"General, it has been many years since I last saw you. I would like to catch up with you."
"Haha, since you're here, let's have dinner at home tonight!"
"Then I'll have to bother you."
During dinner at Yazov's home, the topic of Yazov's daughter inevitably came up.
His daughter is only 28 years old this year, and she has never gotten married because of congenital heart disease.
This girl is extremely beautiful; she embodies all the best qualities of a Slavic woman.
Her name is Natasha Ivanovna Yazova.
General Yazov was quite disappointed when his daughter was mentioned, and it was at the dinner table that General Dimitri took the opportunity to say something.
"General, why not send Natasha to the United States for treatment?"
"I don't have that ability."
"I do have a connection, you know, through my nephew's family..."
Yazov suddenly looked up, his face filled with shock.
Chapter 95 The Theft Plan Begins
For Yazov, his youngest daughter's condition was his biggest concern. He had thought that his daughter would probably never be able to get rid of congenital heart disease for the rest of her life.
But he never expected that his old subordinate, Dimitri, would bring him such a huge surprise.
"Dimitch, you're not lying to me, are you?"
“General, how could I lie to you? My nephew has some connections in the United States. His classmate’s father is a famous cardiac surgeon at the Mayo Clinic. He has assured me that as long as you send Natasha out, he will definitely be able to cure her illness.”
At this point, Dimitri paused for a moment, then continued.
"If the general wants to keep Natasha in the United States permanently, it's not impossible."
Yazov's eyes lit up instantly. There were many wealthy and powerful people in the north at this time, and they would all make contingency plans.
On one hand, they plan to keep the child in China, and on the other hand, they plan to send the child to the United States.
Although reality is disappointing, that's just how it is. The United States is now a beacon of democracy in the world, and even within the Red Empire, they don't believe they will win.
Moreover, Natasha's illness is very serious, and whether her congenital heart disease can be cured is still questionable.
So Yazov actually hoped that his daughter could stay in the United States.
This way, Natasha can receive the best possible treatment.
"Dimitch, if you can really do this, how can I thank you?"
Yazov is currently the least senior deputy minister in the Ministry of Defense. He has only been a general for a few years, so no one would believe that he would become the Minister of Defense in the next few months.
Even Yazov himself at this time had no such idea, so he did not think he would have the opportunity to help Dimitri.
After all, Dimitri is already a lieutenant general and the chief of staff of the Odessa Military District. With Yazov's current power, it would be difficult for him to help Dimitri advance further.
However, Dimitri shook his head.
"General, it is my greatest honor to be able to help you. I have never thought of getting anything from you. I was your subordinate back then, so isn't it only right that I do these things now?"
Dimitch, who was initially overlooked, finally got his turn.
Yazov looked grateful, and after a moment, he said to Dimitri.
Where do you think Natasha should leave from?
“General, the Odessa Military District is also part of my territory. Let Natasha go that way. Once you cross the Black Sea, it will be Ottoman territory. That will be a good way for her to go to the United States.”
Yazov nodded, then asked another question.
When do you think would be a good time to leave?
"I think the sooner the better! After all, Natasha's current condition..."
"Yes! Her health is getting worse and worse. In that case, when you go back to the Odessa Military District, take Natasha with you! I believe in you."
For Dimic, the four words "I believe in you" represented immense trust.
"General, please rest assured, I will handle it well."
Dimitri returned to the Odessa military district, and Natasha went back with him.
Upon returning, Dimitri began the process of sending Natasha away, which was not too difficult for a military district chief of staff.
However, before leaving, Yuri received a call from Fang Zhenhua, who instructed Yuri to personally escort Natasha to the United States.
This would allow Yuri and Walden to meet, which would only benefit their future business dealings.
Secondly, Fang Zhenhua would only feel at ease if Yuri personally escorted Natasha to the United States, since Natasha's identity was too important. If anything happened to her, the entire "Stealing the Sky" plan would be ruined.
As for other matters, we'll discuss them once Yuri returns.
Yuri had no choice but to escort Natasha to the United States, unable to refuse his boss's request.
This round trip took two or three months.
The itinerary itself wasn't extensive, but it included Natasha's settling in the US, her hospitalization, and even her meeting with Walden.
After dealing with these matters, Yuri returned to the country.
But not long after he returned to China, the shocking flight accident occurred.
As the current leader of the Red Empire, the map head was extremely annoyed.
Defense Minister Marshal Sokolov, Deputy Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Air Defense Forces Marshal Kordunov, Deputy Minister General Lushev, and 10 other veteran officers, along with the remaining 298 field and lieutenant officers, were all dismissed from their posts.
Instantly, a vacuum appeared at the top of the military, and everyone in the country turned their attention to the position of Minister of National Defense.
It was at this moment that the map chief issued an appointment that caught everyone off guard.
Deputy Defense Minister General Yazov succeeded as Defense Minister.
This surprised everyone, because Yazov was so inexperienced. After the war, he was just a battalion-level officer and was promoted to general in 84. Now he was the Minister of Defense.
Actually, this was intentional on the part of the map-headed man, because Yazov left a deep impression on the map-headed man and his wife when he was the commander of the Central Asian Military District.
It doesn't matter if he's inexperienced; if he's inexperienced, he can promote Yazov, and only then will Yazov be willing to pledge allegiance to the leader and cooperate with his reforms.
Yazov never expected that such immense wealth would fall into his lap.
When he became Minister of Defense, Yazov suddenly realized that he had no suitable people at his disposal.
At that moment, his first thought was of Dimitri Orlov.
Yazov already had his own ideas on how to promote Dimitri, and he immediately recommended him to the map leader.
He also told the map expert that Dimitri had made important contributions to the nuclear leak incident and saved the country a lot of losses.
Logically speaking, Dimitri should have been given an important position, but because he had no powerful backing, he was only promoted to the rank of lieutenant general and then assigned to the Odessa Military District.
As for the map head, he wanted to make good use of these cadres who had no powerful backers, so on Yazov's recommendation, the map head took a serious look at Dimitri's information.
Then another decision was made.
Dimitri was transferred to the capital to serve as deputy commander of the capital military district, and his rank was promoted to general.
Ustinov died, Ogarkov was disliked, Akhromeyev did not oppose him, Sokolov was dismissed by him, and the power of the map head was highly centralized.
When this order was issued, Dimitri, who was far away in the Odessa Military District, was also shocked.
He was able to be promoted to general entirely because of Fang Zhenhua's help.
If he hadn't helped Natasha go to the United States, how could she have gained Yazov's favor?
From Fang Zhenhua's perspective, with Dimitri's arrival at the Capital Military Region, the "Stealing the Sky" plan could be said to have officially begun.
Chapter 96 The Second Generation of the Red Empire
General Dimitri was transferred to the capital military region, and as his nephew, Yuri naturally left Odessa and went to the capital as well.
After all, for Yuri, his ultimate goal was to integrate into the aristocratic circles of the capital, which was the most important thing.
Especially those princelings in the capital, he cultivated good relations with them, and through Yuri's deliberate arrangements, several people came into his sights.
One was Alekseyevich Sistov, the son of Apollo Sergeyevich Sistov, the Minister of Aviation Industry.
The Ministry of Aviation Industry is a department under the Council of Ministers, and it mainly covers a series of aircraft design bureaus, such as the Sukhoi Design Bureau, the Tupolev Design Bureau, and the Ilyushin Design Bureau.
The other was Alexander Ivych Belousov, son of Ilge Sergeyevich Belousov, the Minister of Shipbuilding Industry.
The Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry had three major submarine design bureaus under its jurisdiction: Malachite Design Bureau, Ruby Design Bureau, and Celestite Design Bureau.
There are also surface ship design bureaus, such as the Neva Design Bureau and the Northern Design Bureau.
In fact, Yuri also wanted to contact some other people, such as the Almaz Design Bureau and the Southern Design Bureau, which were in charge of missile technology.
The famous S-300 and RS-20 Satan ballistic missiles were designed by these two bureaus.
However, Yuri wasn't too worried. His most important task right now was to infiltrate the princeling circle in the capital, so there would be plenty of opportunities to make contact with the two design bureaus in the future.
Yuri's method of integrating into the circle was simple: he used money to pave the way.
Fang Zhenhua brought a lot of money with him when he came to the north. He first gave Yuri five million US dollars, specifically for him to squander in the capital.
With this money paving the way, Yuri quickly made contact with two princelings, Sistov and Belousov.
As the nephew of the newly appointed deputy commander of the Capital Military District, I heard that General Dimitrij has a close relationship with the newly appointed Minister of Defense, General Yazov.
Within these princeling circles, they already knew who General Yazov was working for.
That's the Minister of National Defense personally promoted by ZSJ! That alone is enough to make these families take it seriously.
Yuri's generosity attracted the attention of these princelings, and their relationship with him quickly grew closer, with them addressing each other as brothers.
Yuri has thrown parties in private on more than one occasion, and through these two princelings, he has made contact with many people, all of whom are the sons and young masters of the directors and deputy directors of major aerospace design bureaus and ship design bureaus.
This red empire is completely rotten, and everyone wants to profit from it.
The son of the Minister of Aviation Industry, Sistov, complained more than once at parties that the country's finances were becoming increasingly strained, and that even subsidies for many scientists could not be paid. If this continued, they might not even be able to pay salaries.
He does not mean that.
Yuri heard this and some ideas came to mind, but he didn't rush to say them. Instead, he thought about winning over these young masters and ladies to do business.
He addressed everyone at the party.
"I have a route in the East. It's a bit risky, but the profits are very high. Are you interested in working with me?"
