"Boom."

Ilham placed the dusty cardboard box heavily on the large wooden table, then pulled Su Cheng, and sat down with a smile.

Opposite him was the commander of the City Defense Command, Ulmovi, a dark-skinned capable officer, very young, at most 30 years old.

In the Soviet era, he was just a small Soviet major stationed on the border. Thanks to his identity as an Azerbaijani and the hundreds of soldiers under his command, after two years of chaos, Ulmovi has become a colonel in Azerbaijan. He is the highest-ranking officer in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, and he has the most troops and weapons.

He theoretically takes orders from Baku, and his military salary and supplements also come from Baku. Therefore, although Aliyev is the chairman of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, he cannot directly order Ulmov.

For Aliyev's son, Ulmovi naturally does not respect him as much as local officials.He sat on the opposite side, not even looking at the ordinary-looking cardboard box. Instead, he said a little unhappy: "You want to see me by name, what's the matter?"

"That's right." Ilham smiled unabated, and said, "I heard that your army sent people to collect taxes on several passages between Nakhchivan and Iran? The Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic is a Ground, the land connection between us and Azerbaijan has to pass through Iran, the importance of these checkpoints, you know better than me..."

"If you want me to stop collecting taxes, then you don't need to say it." Ulmovi lazily stood up and said, "The military pay from Baku has been suspended for three months. Last year's military pay was not paid in full either." Qing, no tax, what do you guys eat and drink?"

Su Cheng looked at this young ex-Soviet officer with great interest, secretly amused: This guy's rhetoric for collecting lijin is no different from bureaucrats in the Republic of China or the late Qing Dynasty, and it is really an internationally accepted rule.

Ilham seemed to be used to Ulmovi's way of speaking, and said with a smile: "The West is busy fighting, and the money is not enough, and Baku has nothing to do."

"There is nothing we can do to collect taxes." Ulmovi paused.Said: "Even if the chairman said it, I have to make up my military salary first."

For Aliyev, he was somewhat considerate.Back in the sixties and seventies.When an Azerbaijani of Ulmovi's age was naked, Aliyev was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan. In terms of achievements in the Soviet era, Aliyev was also a former KGB official.Much stronger than Putin.

Ilham was familiar with Ulmov's style.He smiled and said: "So, as long as you make up your military salary, you will stop collecting taxes?"

Ulmovi looked at Ilham suspiciously, laughed dryly, and said, "I'm afraid it won't work just to make up for the previous ones. Everyone is seeing the current situation, and there is no time for a year or two. There is no end to fighting, and the military pay in Baku must be getting less and less. We have removed the checkpoints now. The future military pay is still not available."

In the final analysis, Ulmovi was still reluctant to part with this generous lijin.

Nakhichevan's communication with the outside world relies entirely on these channels.Therefore, although the local area is poor, there is still a lot of tax money.It can be said that it is much more than military pay.

Half a year ago, when the Azerbaijani government still had central authority, Ulmovi did not dare to openly set up checkpoints to collect taxes.But now, Elchibey's war against Armenia is getting bigger and bigger, and the front line retreats again and again, so that the senior military officials are frantically replaced. Before the war is over, he can't control these trivial matters of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. .

Ulmovi didn't take the opportunity to collect taxes, let alone when.

Ilham knew what he meant, and said without surprise, "How much tax do you collect every month?"

"Four and a half million, dollars." Ulmovi looked up at Ilham.This figure is several times the military pay.

For a new warlord like Ulham, recruiting is extremely simple, and the expenditure is mainly on arms.Arms from abroad require money, and arms from the former Soviet Union also require money, and the more equipment and troops there are, the bigger the officials will be. This is probably the law of troubled times.

The current government has stood on the brink of war since it came to power. The troops transferred from Baku to the west front line have been promoted a lot.

As for things like Houlu, Baku has long been unable to produce them.When an idealist like Elchibey comes to power, he always does very well at the beginning, until he spends all the funds accumulated by his predecessor, or borrows all the places where he can borrow, and then it should go downhill.

Like other big and small warlords, Ulmovi can only find money for arms and support soldiers, and at the same time, he will fight for the righteousness of the government.The military pay is not very good, after all, there is military pay.

Ilham was a little surprised by the income from the checkpoints. He clicked his tongue twice without arguing, and said, "It's really a lot. Fortunately, I prepared more."

"Oh?" Ulmovi narrowed his eyes.

Ilham also stood up, opened the cardboard box in front of him, pushed it to Ulmov, and said, "It contains 50 US dollars, which is regarded as this month's military salary."

The green dollar bills are all bundled into rolls with string and piled up layer by layer.Fill a cardboard box to the brim, like a stripped-down version of hard-shell toilet paper.

"For me?" Ulmovi was surprised.

He said that there are 50 million US dollars per month, but that is actually the month with the most income, and the money he gets from taxes is very mixed, including US dollars, rubles, Iranian rials and local currency of Azerbaijan.Among them, the US dollar is naturally the hardest, but the quantity is the least.

It was the first time Ulmovie saw a full box of US dollars.

Ilham nodded and said, "As long as you remove the checkpoint, we will give you 50 US dollars every month."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Just stop collecting taxes." Ilham smiled.

"that's it?"

"That's it. It's the government's business to collect taxes, don't you think?"

For the sake of a box of dollars, Ulmovi nodded "obediently", then grabbed the box in disbelief, and dumped it on the table in front of Ilham.

Full of cash dangling people dizzy.Also $50, which is obviously more attractive than a bond.

"We will have many opportunities to cooperate." Ilham and Ulmovi shook hands.

Ulmovi smiled more sincerely, winked and said: "I hope so."

"The money for next month. We will send someone to deliver it on time." Ilham patted the back of Ulmovi's hand and said, "We won't bother you any more. See you later."

"Okay, see you if you have a chance, see you if you have a chance." Ulmovi said quite sincerely.If he has $50 a month, he really doesn't care about the fees.

Ilham winked at Sioux City, and the two walked out the door side by side.

Ulmovi sent it all the way.Only then reluctantly went back.

Su Cheng looked amused, and said to Ilham: "There is a word in China called Qianghouhougong, the more people you get in touch with, the more flavorful the word will be."

Ilham listened to Sioux Cheng's English explanation of the meaning of being arrogant and respectful, curled his lips backwards, and said, "Ulmovie is just a small character, and he doesn't have the capital to be arrogant. When we arrive in Baku at night, we can See these guys for what they really are."

"night?"

"The plane is ready."

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

"There is no way, we are already behind. My father was an official from the former Soviet Union, and the people on the stage now must have some consideration. We have to travel all over the country to convince them personally."

"In dollars?"

Earham laughed. "Yes, in dollars."

In the next few days, it became a game of Sokoban.

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

Depending on the importance of the other party.And depending on their sexual interests, Ilham and Sioux City will offer varying amounts of dollars, pounds, gold, or cashier's checks.Occasionally, there are big bosses who will ask for money to be transferred to their overseas bank accounts.

Either way, Sioux City and Ilham come standard with crates.

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

At the beginning, there was a pleasure in giving money, as some people said, there is the joy of giving to others.

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

Every influential and important person must be sent, and everyone must present it personally, and the important people are often not concentrated in Baku.Like Aliyev, Azerbaijan has its own heavyweights.

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

Every day at noon, afternoon and evening, Sioux City and Ilham are playing a game of Sokoban.And the frequency is getting faster and faster, and the number is increasing.

The most time, the two in Sioux City released 10 boxes, full of 500 million US dollars in cash, and gave it to the Baku Police Chief. Because of this gentleman's unique obsession, Ilham spent half a day just exchanging cash .

However, it is Husseinov who gets the most money. He is the commander of the National Army and he controls the strongest armored force in Azerbaijan. It is generally considered to be a powerful army second only to the Azerbaijani Internal Guard.

Elchibey's internal guards are relatively difficult to penetrate, and Husseinov is naturally the target of Aliyev's efforts to win over.

In order to win his favor, Ilham gave half of the total funds, 2500 million US dollars, to Husseinov. Even if he was the commander of the National Army, the money still shocked Husseinov.

Just send it around, and one month will be up.

Fortunately, the relationship has been established, and there are very few places where Sioux City and Ilham need to supplement their running. Most of the promised funds can be operated through the bank.

The fifth child secretly returned to China and once again brought out 5000 million US dollars in various bonds.These were all saved by Sioux City in the past one or two years. The money was in place, and the Aliyev camp was stabilized at once.

He didn't need to call, someone would come over naturally.

Everything in Azerbaijan is going very smoothly, only the domestic curse is getting tighter and tighter.

At the same time, Elchibey, 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.
