The Story of how Vanya Zhukov overcame the energy and political crisis in the big Northeast African Republic
The plane was in flight for a long time. Vanya asked the stewardess over what territory they are flying.
It turned out that the plane flies over a huge Northeast African Republic. Not long ago, this republic was almost twice more...
The stewardess went to the crew cabin. Vanya decided to look out the window - that there interesting.
He met the eyes of a man who was on a plane flying nearby.
Vanya politely bowed his head in greeting.
The man stared out the window, his eyes fixed.
At first Vanya did not understand why he did not receive an answer to his polite gesture, but then he realized that two jet fighters were flying nearby. The jet fighters given multiple queues and waved their wings.
Soon the planes, which flew Vanya and his "neighbor", landed at the local airport.
Vanya and his "neighbor" was brought to the terminal building. The building was filled with people in military and civilian (European and local type) clothes.
When Vanya and his "neighbor" were in the terminal building, there was an explosion of indignation.
Vanya and his "neighbor" were placed in the middle of a huge hall. They were surrounded by an excited crowd.
People were talking loudly, they were emotionally gesticulating.
There were cries of "Energy crisis!" 'Blackout!" 'Humanitarian crisis!" 'Political crisis!"
Unpleasant situation.
The "neighbor" was silent.
Vanya decided to act. He had at himself one of the photos made during his visit to the Latin American republic. Photo gave him confidence.
Vanya remembered how confidently the figures of the past watched from historical photographs. Functional Hiking clothes, weapons, confident faces...
Vanya didn't have a weapons, but he had the photo.
Vanya tried to imagine what faces the historical figures of the past had... Maybe they've been somewhere in these parts.
Vanya made a confident face. Confidently waved his hand, attracting attention:
- 'I'm Mr. Beetley! The advisor to overcome the crisis of the Minister of energy of the Latin American Republic!.. I mean... the adviser to the government of the Latin American Republic!'
Vanya took out the photo and showed it to the public. It was a picture of Vanya in a beautiful suit with a very important political figure, known around the world.
Vanya pointed to the important politician (on the photo):
- 'You recognize this man!? This is a man of mystical luck! No crisis can knock him out of the saddle. He stays. All dissatisfied leave, go away...'
Then Vanya pointed at himself, also present on the picture:
- 'This is me! I know how to overcome the crisis!'
The public murmured. It seems public to be-astonished and delighted.
Vanya again made a gesture with his hand, trying to imagine as the figures of the past would have behaved in such a situation. This "neighbor" standing nearby was clearly a significant figure. No wonder the jet fighters were chasing him? There were reasons why he was put in the middle of the hall and shouted at it?
Vanya hypnotically looked at the "neighbor":
- 'The meeting continues in the VIP hall! Only senior officials are present at the meeting!'
Vanya continued to hypnotically look at the "neighbor":
- 'Please go to the VIP hall!'
"Neighbor" had nothing against going to the VIP hall. Moreover, he knew perfectly well where this hall was located.
Taking into account the high status of Vanya as an adviser to the government of the Latin American Republic, his confident gestures and his confident demeanour, the audience quieted down, and the "neighbor" headed towards the VIP hall.
The crowd parted, letting Vanya and his "neighbor" to pass. Vanya sighed with relief. People of the past seemed to smile to Vanya from somewhere from their historical photos...
- 'I ask the chief of the airport to report a situation! What task the jet fighters were carring out?!' - Vanya seized the initiative as soon as the VIP hall was filled with participants of the meeting.
The chief of the airport explained as was able. General humanitarian crisis. Inflation. Shortage of products. Emigration. Indignation of the population. Demonstrations. Sharply the situation after nation-wide power blackout, the fifth for the last half a year, became aggravated. He cannot comment on actions of army and law enforcement agencies as he is not competent of these questions. The army protects the constitution and the people! The president went to the neighboring country by plane for the help, humanitarian aid. For protection of the president, his safety the jet fighters were directed. Pilots, perhaps, overdid. They very much worry for the president.
The chief of the airport for some reason low bowed to Vanya's "neighbor".
Vanya's "neighbor" obviously felt better.
Vanya strictly looked at attendees:
- 'Who is present of employees of the Ministry of Energy? The Minister here?'
There was some person in the European clothes - with a tie.
- 'I ask to report a situation!' - Vanya demanded.
The Minister of Energy explained that all cultural and qualified people went abroad. There is no money, there is no a spare equipment. Now attempts to repair the system of power supply are proceeding. But bullets are found. On the neighboring hill there was obviously a position of snipers. Saboteurs and members of special groups do the attacks. It is necessary to address to the UN that there to identify a guilty persons.
At Vanya the action plan instantly ripened.
- 'Sirs! It is necessary to work quickly and vigorously! But I need authority. Status of Advisor to the government to overcome the crisis!'
- 'You are appointed the adviser of the government!' - the president's voice was heard.
In the hall the approving rumble in support of the decision of the president was distributed.
- 'What is necessary for your country? Tranquility! And money! It is not pleasant to whom - those persons have the right to emigrate. To carry out repair of a system of power supply? What sense in it? Expenditure of money, time, efforts. There will pass month - the system will collapse again. Our purpose - new energy saving, eco-friendly society. Transition to energy of the Sun and wind. Wide use of local electric generators on petrol and similar fuel. It will be the new phenomenon in development of a civilization! We move human society forward!'
Vanya looked closely at the audience. No one objected.
- 'Of course, there was no power blackout, there was no political crisis. Fabrications of phantoms from saboteurs and members of special groups! And of their helpers! Everything goes normally, and all have to know about it!
Where to get money? We will discuss this issue in a narrower format. Money is a delicate matter.'
In two minutes Vanya, the president and the most considerable members of the government gathered in an office of the chief of the airport.
- 'Your republic is into a crisis situation!' - Vanya explained. - 'And why?'
Participants of discussion waited for continuation of his thought.
- 'Because external hostile forces have developed and implement hostile plans. On the one hand, this creates problems. But, as we know, the key to the solution of any problem consists in that to call a problem not a problem, but an opportunity.' (Vanya unexpectedly for himself for some reason sighed).
Vanya gathered his thoughts and concentrated.
- 'On the other hand, opportunities appeared. There is a huge country - even more than yours. She was always pleasant to teach others and to be trustees of other countries.. But now - when the cultural heritage of the Persian Shah is increasingly felt - the desire to help other countries is increasing.
It will not be possible to do without a relatively small expenses.
In the huge country do not like to waste time on trifles. It is necessary to be ready to offers to participate in the large-scale energy Arctic projects which are carried out at the expense of the state budget and state banks, and in the project of broad construction of power plants in your region and in the neighboring territories. As soon as the relevant documents are signed, your republic will be provided with finance.
So, no crises! Neither the political nor the electrical.
Construction of a new energy-saving, eco-friendly society.
Dissatisfied - without application to them of any political repressions - have the right to emigrate.
Need a small amount of money.'
A some money was quickly raised. The safe of the chief of the airport (payment of refueling of planes with fuel, maintenance of planes) was opened, made borrowing in the nearest Bank.
Decided not to postpone with implementation of the drawn-up plans.
The plane with Vanya and the president went to a huge country for help.
Vanya, realizing that there will be a meeting with a great diplomat, got a local clothes that allow to cover head and face.
The trip was successful. At home, in a local bank, at the time of the returning of Vanya and the President already had the first money.
Moreover, the Northeast African Republic had been invited to the continental forum and had agreed to mediate in the complex negotiations concerning the Latin American Republic. It was a clear success - both financial and diplomatic.
Vanya after the arrival (the joyful meeting waited them - him and the president - in republic) was handed a small suitcase - for the next costs.
A some official who got under a some investigation escaped abroad. The estate of this official was transferred to Vanya for accommodation. Vanya walked along the estate, singing "Bésame mucho". The managing director of the estate came: "The issue is: to where to send the harem?"
Vanya remembered the movie "White Sun of the Desert". "Long harness, but fast ride". It is better to sing "Bésame mucho", than "For whom you are kind, and for others is a different attitude...". Let they sing - if it is pleasant to whom ... And it is pleasant to me - "Bésame mucho" ...
The managing director stood, expecting the answer.
Vanya began to smoke the Havana cigar and sat down in a chair near the pool.
"My advices are expected in the Latin American Republic!" "There is a reserve possibility - to be engaged in delivery of pizza...".
