Chapter 242 - 241: A Hostage with a Significant Background
The Charigler Group is a global mining company headquartered in Switzerland and one of the world’s largest copper producers.
Mountain Eagle’s company had some business with Charigler Group back then, but led by the locust Russia faction, Russia’s Charigler Group was indifferent towards them and the employees of the enterprise left a very bad impression on Mountain Eagle.
Many of our countrymen have a blind fondness for these ’locust Russia faction’ who are intent on restoring monarchy...
However, they are unaware that these people are classic extremists and nationalists, who are bent on annexing Ukraine and White Russia to establish a major Slavic empire.
They are anything but friendly to their homeland, downright malicious, one could say!
In fact, at this stage, Russia’s overall ideology was oriented toward the West, and it maintained an ambiguous stance toward East only to balance certain Western policies; cooperation between the two sides, both official and civil, was not close.
If Boss Pu’s attitude was ambiguous, then the ’locust Russia faction’ was overtly malicious.
They have published books and repeatedly declared in public that to counter southern pressure, they should find a way to split several northern provinces of East and establish a new buffer zone.
Of course, due to the limitations of its national strength and the authorities’ lack of focus on the Far East, their strategic thinking did not have much of a market.
However, these individuals ultimately achieved success in Ukraine!
The Crimea crisis was orchestrated by them, forcing Boss Pu to react hastily without adequate preparation, staunchly facing NATO’s pressure, and annex Crimea into Russia.
