<p>
The Minister of Internal Affairs noticed:</p>
<p>
- We have forces for suppression of the Maidan. But in Belarus, the Lukashenka regime, holding on to bayonets, lowered the republic. And now there is a wild decline, and constant speeches of workers. Nothing good happened either!</p>
<p>
Mishustin logically remarked:</p>
<p>
- It is necessary to change the president in Belarus! Putin was indecisive in this regard!</p>
<p>
The Minister of Internal Affairs noted:</p>
<p>
- But in this case, the successor will be a burden for us. After all, you will agree, it will have to be held by the scruff of the neck!</p>
<p>
The Acting President noted:</p>
<p>
- Yes,but we can include Belarus in Russia. Putin showed indecision, and did not take this territory under his control. And Lukashenka again started talking about a multi-vector policy. So it turned out to be a stick that was not beaten!</p>
<p>
Shoigu noticed:</p>
<p>
- You can, Mr. President, and go to a military coup. We'll have the generals to do it!</p>
<p>
Mishustin lowered his voice.:</p>
<p>
- I give my consent, but without extra blood!</p>
<p>
Shoigu nodded:</p>
<p>
- We agree Mr. President! Although of course you will have to try. Putin had Crimea Mishustin had Belarus!</p>
<p>
The Acting President noted:</p>
<p>
- Russia began to rebel. We need new victories and success. The coronavirus has weakened the economy. Putin himself is also physically weakened, and his policy has already become not too productive. In these conditions, we need achievements in the external sphere and the people will calm down!</p>
<p>
Shoigu noticed it here:</p>
<p>
- A small, victorious war with Ukraine is possible! It was badly affected by the Maidan, the civil war, Zelensky's weakness and the coronavirus. Probably we should take away from the Ukrainians both the Luhansk and Donetsk regions completely!</p>
<p>
Mikhail Mishustin logically objected:</p>
<p>
- Is it worth cutting the dog's tail in parts? Maybe take and attach the Ukraine to Russia as a whole?</p>
<p>
Shoigu muttered:</p>
<p>
"The big spoon is tearing your mouth!"</p>
<p>
Mishustin logically remarked:</p>
<p>
- Swung, so hit! Moreover, we need not only a key, but also a lock. But of course this is one option. The other is to finally end the hybrid war with Ukraine. And build a partnership with your brothers.</p>
<p>
Shoigu asked with a smile:</p>
<p>
"Do you want to change course?"</p>
<p>
The Acting President nodded:</p>
<p>
- Yes! Putin's idea-no peace, no war, this is the worst version of Trotsky's strategy! Either we will conquer Ukraine, or we will make it our partner!</p>
<p>
Foreign Minister Lavrov agreed:</p>
<p>
- Yes, there must be certainty! Although it is easier to conquer Ukraine than to make it a partner!</p>
<p>
Mishustin nodded in agreement:</p>
<p>
- The choice is difficult for us! Either new victories, or an end to the Cold War with the United States and the West. But this choice should be made!</p>
<p>
There was a pause. Several girls entered the Kremlin office, which was rather modest and unadorned. Of the paintings, only a portrait of the already deceased Russian President Vladimir Putin. And a couple of silver vases with flowers.</p>
<p>
The girls brought coffee, cappuccino, and black caviar sandwiches. And also some chocolates.</p>
<p>
Mishustin thought it would be a good idea to make the office more elegant. And also to build another residence for the president. Moreover, not just a residence, but a type of Versailles of the twenty-first century. Mishustin liked to build. In fact, as in the game with the pyramids, it is simply great. In general, there was a desire to surpass Vladimir Putin and go down in history as greater than his predecessor.</p>
<p>
Mishustin drank half a cup of coffee and remarked:</p>
<p>
"Here, gentlemen, we have a choice! Or conquests, or build a thriving economy, and try to raise the level of prosperity of Russia. What is better to choose?</p>
<p>
Speaker of the upper house Matvienko said:</p>
<p>
- We must first win the presidential election! According to the Constitution, they must pass within three months. In the meantime, it is better to continue to roll on the rolled track!</p>
<p>
Shoigu agreed:</p>
