449: Chapter 437: Heart-to-Heart 449: Chapter 437: Heart-to-Heart Jethro once again rode in the sa car with Yang Yi and his group.
His expression had been grim the entire ti, and finally, Jethro let out a long sigh.
With a look of deep distress, Jethro whispered, “Once the ti cos, just leave, don’t renew the contract.”
Yang Yi looked at Jethro with so surprise, but Jethro didn’t return his gaze and rely stared blankly at the car ahead and continued in a low voice, “You’re here just to make money; there’s no need to risk your lives.”
Yang Yi whispered back, “Oh, why do you say that?”
Jethro let out another long sigh before whispering, “What, Justin didn’t explain things clearly to you?”
“He ntioned so things, but I don’t see how they’re related to the current situation.”
Jethro spread his arms wide and then let them fall helplessly onto his legs, slapping them down.
“What’s the relation?
Heh.”
With a bitter smile, Jethro shook his head and said, “You know I work for Deyo, right?
You should also know what I’m here to do.
Justin always tells you these things, doesn’t he?”
After a mont’s hesitation, Yang Yi still whispered, “Yes, you’re here to take over Big Ivan’s territory, to wage a war.
It’s a good business opportunity.”
Jethro took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, cracked open the car window enough to flick his ashes outside, and then whispered, “The ti isn’t right yet.
Who is Big Ivan?
What is Ukraine?
Ukraine is Big Ivan’s backyard, a place he would rather die than give up.
What kind of person is Big Ivan?
He’s soone who would rather die than take a loss.
Do you think it’s going to be easy to snatch his backyard from him?”
Jethro was actually stifling his frustration.
He had a belly full of complaints but couldn’t find anyone to vent to, so Yang Yi, with whom he had the closest relationship besides Boyata, beca his confidant.
“The Aricans have made a move on Big Ivan, even bombing his lair with laser-guided bombs.
Many people think Big Ivan is dead, including my boss, but…”
Jethro waved his hand, his face a picture of helplessness, “But even if Big Ivan is dead, will his influence just dissipate like that?
Europe is Andre’s turf, and this guy is fiercely loyal to Big Ivan.
Whether he’s alive or not, Andre won’t give up this place easily.
And Andre has been in Ukraine for many years; he has built a significant influence and has very complex connections.
In fact, the entire Ukrainian military has strong ties with him.
Do you understand what that ans?”
Jethro asked Yang Yi a question, but without waiting for an answer, Jethro said with a worried frown, “It ans Ukraine is Andre’s ho field.
His strength here is too great.
To confront him head-on with just our current manpower, hoping to uproot Big Ivan’s influence entirely, is just naïve.”
Yang Yi whispered, “But now Ukraine has a new master.”
Jethro let out a bitter laugh, “Yes, there’s a change in power now, and we have a great chance to take Ukraine for ourselves, but it will take ti.
Big Ivan was able to use the Ukrainian arms depots as his own warehouses because of his connections with the military.
Slowly, the new governnt will clean out the military and replace them with their own people.
We can start infiltrating the Ukrainian military from the top.
We only need one year because the new Ukrainian governnt can’t wait too long.
At most, in one year’s ti, we can establish relations with the military, from top to bottom, naturally squeezing out Big Ivan’s influence.”
Another long sigh, Jethro whispered, “But what about now?
The military’s power has hardly changed, especially the middle and lower ranks.
Almost all the officers who have access to the arms depots are Big Ivan’s n.
Trying to force our way in now would be impossible.
Going head to head with Andre would an challenging the interests of half of the Ukrainian military, not to ntion that even if Big Ivan died, Andre still has a very strong force.
This is their stronghold.
To think we could eliminate all of Big Ivan’s people, how is that possible!”
Yang Yi felt that Jethro was being quite decent.
Although these things would beco apparent to anyone given enough ti, hearing them from Jethro ant that he was genuinely on board.
Regardless of whether he had a strong desire to confide, at least he was willing to speak the truth.
So Yang Yi felt rather guilty at that mont.
Jethro cald down a bit and said in a low voice to Yang Yi, “Tonight we are going to kill Andre, but I don’t think it’s possible.
While I’m here, I try to avoid direct conflict with Andre and to hide our tracks as much as possible.
Honestly, with our current strength, taking on Andre head-on ans certain death.”
Yang Yi whispered, “Why don’t you discuss these concerns with the boss?”
“How could I not?
I told the boss the plan in detail.
He was originally in agreent with it, but now, it seems he has changed his mind.”
Another soft sigh, Jethro whispered, “This is Andre’s ho ground.
While I’m in Kiev, I have to be extrely cautious, for fear of Andre discovering our traces.
But after a large-scale operation like tonight’s, I expect we’ll be completely exposed.
Even if we gain so advantage tonight, we’ll still be far from a complete victory.
So if we go to war tonight, what follows will inevitably be constant retaliation and counter-retaliation.
This war is not going to be over in a short ti.
I estimate, at least a year.”
Yang Yi whispered, “Justin said the sa, that’s why we’re here to take on the mission.”
Jethro said with disdain, “You only see the opportunity to make money, but have you considered how easy it would be to withstand Big Ivan’s retaliation?
This war is about financial power, consuming…”
Jethro looked at Yang Yi and then said expressionlessly, “What’s consud are the lives of people like you.
If it weren’t for the fact that you saved , do you think I would tell you this?”
Yang Yi felt an even stronger sense of guilt, so he whispered, “Thank you.”
Jethro waved his hand, “My boss has money, but Big Ivan has more.
Alright, even if Big Ivan dies as we hope, Andre won’t be short of funds, and even if Andre dies, there will still be other subordinates of Big Ivan coming here to replace him.
This war isn’t going to end in the short term unless all of Big Ivan’s n are dead or he runs out of money and can’t fight any longer.
But the biggest arms dealer group in the world, do you think that’s likely?”
Yang Yi whispered, “So the early stages are the most dangerous, when the fighting is most intense and both sides are heavily depleted.”
Jethro whispered, “Exactly.
So once this mission is over, get out of here as quickly as you can.
Once the situation starts to stabilize, then co back to make money.
You saved my life once, and if there’s an opportunity to earn money, I will let you know.”
