Chapter 523 Push the box

"Ddong."

Ilham put the gray cardboard box heavily on the big wooden table, then pulled Su Cheng and sat down with a smile.

Opposite him is Ulmouvi, the commander of the City Defense Command, a dark-faced and capable officer, very young, up to 30 years old.

In the Soviet era, he was just a small Soviet major stationed at the border, thanks to the identity of Azerbaijanis and hundreds of soldiers under him. Two years of chaos, Urmouvi was already the colonel of Azerbaijan, the highest-ranked officer in the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic, and his men and horses were also The most.

He theoretically obeys Baku, and his military pay and supplements also come from Baku. Therefore, although Aliyev is the chairman of the Nakichevan Autonomous Republic, he cannot directly order Urmouvi.

For Aliyev's son, Ulmouvi will naturally not respect him like local officials. He sat opposite with a big thorn. He didn't even look at the ordinary cardboard box. Instead, he said a little unhappy, "What's the matter with you to see me by name?"

"That's right." Ilham smiled and said, "I heard that your army sent people to collect taxes on several channels between Nashchivan and Iran? The Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic is an enclave. Our land liaison with Azerbaijan has to pass through Iran. You know the importance of these levels better than me..."

"If you want me to stop collecting taxes, you don't have to say." Urmouwei stood up lazily and said, "The military pay from Baku has been suspended for three months. Last year's military pay has not been paid in full. There is no tax. What do you eat and what do you drink?"

Su Cheng looked at the former young Soviet officer with great interest, which was a little funny in the dark: this guy's words were no different from the bureaucrats of the Republic of China or the late Qing Dynasty. It was really an international rule.

Ilham seemed to be used to Urmouvi's way of speaking and said with a smile, "The west side is busy with war. There is not enough money, and Baku can't do anything about it."

"We have no choice but to collect taxes." Ulmouvi paused for a moment and said, "Even if the chairman says so, I have to make up my military pay first."

He is a little concerned about Aliyev. As early as the 1960s and 1970s, when the Azerbaijanis at the age of Urmowe were naked, Aliyev was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan. In terms of achievements in the Soviet era, Aliyev, who was also a former KGB official, was much better than Putin.

Ilham was familiar with Urmouvi's style and said with a smile, "So, as long as I pay you, you will stop collecting taxes?"

Ulmouvi looked at Ilham suspiciously, smiled dryly and said, "I'm afraid it's not possible to make up for the previous one. In the current situation, everyone is in the eyes. In a year or two, the war will not be finished, and Baku's military service must be getting less and less. We have removed the sentry now, and the future military remunaries are still not available.

In the final analysis, Urmouvi is still reluctant to give up this rich money.

Nahichevan's contact with the outside world all depends on these channels. Therefore, although the local area is poor, there is still a lot of money to collect taxes. It can be said that it is much more than the military pay.

Half a year ago, when the Azerbaijani government still had central authority, Ulmoui did not dare to openly set up a sentry post to collect taxes. But now, Elicbeyi's war against Armenia is getting bigger and bigger, and the front has retreated again and again, so that he has been madly replaced with senior military officials. Before the end of the war, he could not control these small things of the Nashchivan Autonomous Republic.

Urmovi doesn't take the opportunity to collect taxes, let alone when.

Ilham knew what he meant and said curiously, "How much tax can you collect every month?"

"Four or five million, US dollars." Ulmouvi looked up at Ilham. This figure is several times the military's sage.

For a new warlord like Ulham, recruitment is extremely simple, and the cost is mainly on arms. Arms from abroad cost money, and the arms left by the former Soviet Union also cost money, and the more equipment and troops, the bigger the officials will do. This is probably the law of troubled times.

The current government has been on the verge of war since the beginning of taking office. Baku has been transferred to the front line of the west, and a lot of troops have been promoted. In order to appease the local people who remain, they are also paid more senior officials.

As for such a thing as Houlu, Baku has not been able to take it out for a long time. The idealism like Ellici Bey always did a good job at the beginning, until he spent all the funds accumulated by his predecessor, or borrowed all the places where he could borrow, and it was time to go downhill.

Like other warlords of all sizes, Urmovi can only exchange money for arms and soldiers, and will also fight for the justice of the government. The military pay is not very good. In the end, there is a military pay.

Ilham was slightly surprised by the income of the sentry card. He said without arguing and said, "It's really a lot. Fortunately, I have prepared more."

"Oh?" Ulmouvi narrowed his eyes.

Ilham also stood up, opened the cardboard box in front of him, pushed it to Ulmouwei, and said, "It's 500,000 US dollars, which is the military pay for this month."

The green banknotes are tied into rolls with strings and piled up layer by layer. Pack a cardboard box full, like a simple version of hard-shell toilet paper.

"Give it to me?" Urmouvi was surprised.

He said that there were four to five million dollars a month, but it was actually the month with the most income, and the money he collected taxes was very miscellaneous, including the US dollar, the ruble, the Iranian riyal and the local currency of Azerbaijan. Naturally, the hardest in US dollars, but the number is the least.

Ulmouvi saw the whole box of US dollars for the first time.

Ilham nodded and said, "As long as you remove the sentry card, we will give you $500,000 every month in the future."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Just stop collecting taxes." Ilham smiled.

"That's it?"

"That's it. Tax collection is a matter for the government, don't you think so?

For the sake of a box of dollars, Urmouville nodded "behavefully", then grabbed the box with a little disbelief and fell it on the table in front of Ilham.

People who are full of cash are dizzy, which is also $500,000, which is obviously more attractive than a bond.

"We will have a lot of opportunities to cooperate." Ilham shook hands with Urmouvi.

Urmouvi smiled much more sincerely and said, "I hope so."

"We will send someone to deliver next month's money on time." Ilham patted the back of Urmouvi's hand and said, "Let's not bother too much. See you when we have a chance."

"Akay, see you when you have a chance. See you when you have a chance." Urmovi said it quite sincerely. If there is 500,000 US dollars a month, he really doesn't care about the charge at the check.

Ilham winted at Su City, and the two of them went out of the door.

Ulmouvi sent him far away before he reluctantly went back.

Su Cheng was funny and said to Ilham, "There is a word called Qianqianhougong in China. The more people you come into contact with, the more interesting the word is."

When Ilham heard Su Cheng explain the meaning of Qianyi Hougong in English, he curled his lips back and said, "Urmowi is just a small character. He has no arrogant capital in the first place. When we arrive in Baku at night, we can see the true face of these guys."

"Evening?"

"The plane is ready."

"This... is really a race against time."

"There's nothing we can do. We are already behind. My father was a former Soviet official, and now the people on the stage have nothing to care about. We will travel all over the country and convince them in person.

"In U.S. dollars?"

Ilham laughed and said, "Yes, in US dollars."

In the next few days, it will become a game of pushing boxes.

Sioux City and Ilham, sitting in a transport plane full of dollars, pounds and gold, rushed to several important towns in Azerbaijan to meet every important person.

Depending on the importance of the other party and their sexual hobbies, Ilham and Sucheng will offer varying amounts of US dollars, pounds, gold, or bank promissory notes. Occasionally, there are bigwigs who ask to transfer money to their overseas bank accounts.

Either way, the standard configuration of Sucheng and Ilham is a box.

Sitting on the side of the table, pushing out the box full of gifts with both hands and asking the other party to accept it, which is the main work of the two.

At the beginning, there is also a kind of pleasure of sending money, just like some people say, there is happiness for others.

However, when the money-giving work is done too much, it becomes pure manual labor.

Every influential important person should be delivered, and everyone should give it in person, and important people are often not concentrated in Baku. Just like Aliyev, Azerbaijan has a lot of heavyweights in the corner.

These people may not return to the center of power, but even on the edge, they are worth tens of millions of dollars.

Every day at noon, afternoon and evening, Su Cheng and Ilham are playing the game of pushing boxes. And the frequency is getting faster and faster, and the number is increasing.

At most, the two of them in Su City launched 10 boxes, full of 5 million US dollars in cash, which were given to the police chief of Baku - for this gentleman's unique obsession, Ilham just exchanged cash for half a day.

However, it is Husseinov who gets the most money. He is the commander of the National Army and has the strongest armored force in Azerbaijan. It is generally believed that it is a powerful army second only to the Azerbaijani internal security forces.

Ellicibe's internal security forces are relatively difficult to penetrate, and Hussainnov is naturally the target of Aliyev's efforts.

In order to win his favor, Ilham took out half of all his funds, $25 million to Hussainov, even the commander of the National Army, which still shocked Husseinov.

After a circle of delivery, it will be a month's time.

Fortunately, the relationship has been opened. There are few places for Sucheng and Ilham to add to run, and most of the promised funds can be operated by banks.

Lao Wu sneaked back to China and brought out all kinds of bonds of $50 million again. These are all saved by Sucheng in the past year or two. The money is in place and has suddenly stabilized Aliyev's camp.

There is no need for him to say hello, and naturally someone will come to work.

Everything in Azerbaijan is going very smoothly, only the tight spell in China is getting tighter and tighter.

At the same time, Elchibeyi, who received the news, began to exert pressure regardless of the consequences.

At the end of the month, Jiao Guoping was forced to come to Azerbaijan.
