Chapter 472: Two Battlefields (Part II)

Sun Cheng was slightly stunned, but his reaction speed was also very fast.

He lowered his head to look at 【Vasiliyevich Colonel】 and asked directly: "So, you are preparing to make a move on South Ossetia?"

The Polar Bear was an important link in his strategy, so Sun Cheng paid extra attention to the country beneath his feet.

Last December, the United Russia party and others nominated the then-Deputy Prime Minister 【Dimitri】 as the next president, and 【Vladimir】 expressed his agreement.

Not long ago, after 【Vladimir】 finished his term and stepped down as president, he officially became the chairman of the United Russia party. On May 7th, with his support, 【Dimitri】 was successfully elected as the new president of Russia. After taking the oath of office, he nominated 【Vladimir】 as the prime minister of the new government, and 【Vladimir】 immediately accepted the invitation from the new president 【Dimitri】 to serve as prime minister.

This beautiful coordination not only made the world recognize the brilliant political maneuvers of that iron-fisted Russian president, but also successfully extended his political life.

Although he had stepped down from the presidency, 【Vladimir】 was still methodically pushing forward his plan to rearm the Polar Bear and accumulating fame for his future presidential run.

If one wants to rearm a country and win fame and the hearts of the people, there is no simpler or cruder method than a war.

South Ossetia had been a target for 【Vladimir】 since a few years ago.

【Vasiliyevich Colonel】 heard this, and his face twitched imperceptibly.

Russia had been continuously mobilizing and increasing troops in the Caucasus region for some time, and they also had many collaborations with these visitors from beyond the sky, even launching several satellites into outer space orbit via Russian spacecraft.

Therefore, Moscow had long speculated that their military actions were known to Sun Cheng and his group.

But speculation is just speculation; no one can remain calm when their own military secrets are easily peeked at by others.

This 【Vasiliyevich Colonel】 was truly worthy of having walked out of Lubyanka Square; his shrewdness was unfathomably deep.

If Sun Cheng hadn't been watching all along, he might have truly overlooked that fleeting change on his face.

【Vasiliyevich Colonel】 remained outwardly calm, as if he hadn't heard anything, and only replied solemnly: "Your Excellency has been on Earth for some time, so you must have some understanding of our country's external environment. In recent years, NATO countries led by the United States have been continuously expanding northward in the European region, secretly inciting our traditional allies to defect, and even openly tearing up peace agreements to deploy military forces within the territory of my former allies, which has seriously threatened our national security and forced us to prepare for a counterattack..."

Sun Cheng nodded; the Soviet Union in this world had already disintegrated many years ago.

Although after the establishment of the Russian Federation, both presidents had shown sufficient closeness and sincerity to NATO, especially the United States, and even hoped to become members of NATO and the European Union.

However, the United States had always maintained considerable hostility toward Russia, or rather, it wished it could dismantle this world's largest country once again.

Compared to his predecessor, Russia's second president, who was also the new Prime Minister 【Vladimir】, was undoubtedly tougher and more capable.

In recent years, the world's cancer—the Americans—had been jumping around in Europe, constantly causing trouble for him, which had already angered this iron-fisted strongman.

Especially the neighboring country Georgia, which had been constantly provoking the nerves of the Polar Bear in the Caucasus region with NATO's support over the past two years, and had even been preparing to completely annex South Ossetia since last year.

South Ossetia is a special country in the Caucasus region; on Earth, this should be a term that over 99% of people have probably never heard of, and even to this day, few countries recognize its sovereignty.

But South Ossetia is one of the most dangerous powder kegs in the eyes of Western politicians that could potentially blow up the Earth.

More than two hundred years ago, South Ossetia was annexed by the Russian Empire, and at the beginning of the last century, when the former Soviet Union was founded, it became an autonomous oblast under the jurisdiction of the 【Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic】, becoming a part of the former Soviet Union.

On the Earth of this world, the former Soviet Union disintegrated at the end of the last century.

Sun Cheng had once specifically learned about the history of various countries on Earth in this world, so he knew a thing or two about South Ossetia.

Long before the former Soviet Union disintegrated, Georgia, which was then one of the republics of the former Soviet Union, became one of NATO's key targets for wooing due to NATO's strategic need to dismantle this red giant.

And the Georgians, who were originally forced to join the former Soviet Union, saw that the former Soviet Union was about to fail, so they immediately abandoned it without mercy, took the bait thrown by NATO, and became one of the knives for NATO to dismantle the former Soviet Union.

To retaliate against Georgia, the KGB, the intelligence agency of the former Soviet Union that had not yet been disbanded at the time, planned the independence of South Ossetia.

After independence, the South Ossetia Republic had been one of the "main battlefields" between Russia and Georgia, or rather, NATO, for the next dozen years or so.

Last year, as the term of the iron-fisted president 【Vladimir】 was about to end, Georgia, with the support of NATO, actively provoked multiple disputes on the border between Georgia and South Ossetia.

On the surface, they seemed to be trying to re-annex South Ossetia, but as long as one wasn't blind, one could see that the real goal was aimed at Russia.

This undoubtedly gave 【Vladimir】 a very good excuse!

In the blink of an eye, more than a decade had passed. Although the incompetence of the first president after the collapse of the former Soviet Union led to a long period of great recession in Russia's economy and military, since entering the new century, with the rise of 【Vladimir】, the Polar Bear had gradually emerged from the birth pains of the collapse of the former Soviet Union; the economy began to recover, and the military field also began to rebuild.

Especially after establishing a partnership with Sun Cheng and his group last year, out of political necessity, he provided Russia with a lot of advanced equipment, including some military technologies that were still considered advanced for Earth.

He even spent money to purchase a large batch of Russian weapons and equipment; anyway, the countries he secretly controlled in North America could use them, and it could also accelerate the recovery of Russia's military and heavy industries.

After swallowing Sun Cheng's several large bottles of "nutritional drinks," Russia, which had long noticed the small movements of NATO and Georgia, was no longer prepared to play shadow wars with them.

Since the beginning of this year, they had begun to purposefully conduct military simulations and mobilization.

It can be expected that a military conflict triggered by sovereignty issues between Georgia and the South Ossetia Republic on the surface will soon drag NATO and the United States behind them into the fray with Russia's entry.

The Polar Bear has taken quite a few good things out of his pocket; if the Yankees don't come on stage to perform themselves, relying solely on those post-war castrated crooked melons and split dates from the European Union, they will definitely suffer a big loss this time.

After 【Vladimir】 learned from Sun Cheng that the United States and the Autobots had established a partnership, he also very cautiously asked him repeatedly. Even though Sun Cheng repeatedly assured him that as long as they, the Decepticons, did not enter the fray, the Autobots would never interfere in military conflicts between humans, he still didn't feel at ease and ordered a batch of electromagnetic weapons from them.

Because this iron-fisted strongman took the initiative to offer to pay with uranium ore, Sun Cheng finally agreed to this deal.

He had offended too many forces in this world; the only superpower on Earth—the United States, and the two major forces from the Cybertron civilization—the Autobots and the Decepticon Legion, were all his opponents.

Just now, 【Soundwave】 had come to cause a scene, and who knows if he had already been put on his key watch list.

Being constantly kept in mind by a group of people is not a comfortable thing, because you never know when they will suddenly catch you off guard.

Therefore, Sun Cheng had always been looking for ways to resolve these unfavorable situations, and supporting the Polar Bear was just one of his many attempts.

It was not in vain that he had done so much in the past; now it could be considered time to harvest.

After this conflict, a portion of the Yankees' energy would have to be tied up by Russia.

With the Second Fleet occasionally cruising in the Caribbean Sea and the waters near South America, would they still have the leisure to run around?

Now, just waiting for the Autobots to fight the 【Decepticon Legion】 again in the Mariana Trench, the two battlefields in Sun Cheng's plan would successfully tie up most of his opponents for a period of time.
