Chapter 519: The Death of the Soviets
Ye Lina looked at Fang Chen quietly, her eyes a little complicated.
To be honest, she was really shocked when she heard Luzhkov say that Fang Chen agreed to Kadannikov sending an infantry battalion to Berezovsky.
Kadannikov has always been more arrogant, joking, and even messing around, and slowly Berezovsky is almost the same as Kadannikov, while Fang Chen and Luzhkov have always been on the calmer side and have never agreed to use such drastic means.
But Fang Chen agreed that time.
Fang Chen's expression moved, he raised his head to look at the roof of the car, and said with some self-deprecation: "It's changed, I've really changed." ”
He used to always say that Duan Yongping had changed, Berezovsky had changed, Ma Yun had changed, Wu Maocai had changed, and it seemed that everyone around him had changed.
But in fact, he is the one who has changed the most.
After all, the changes of these people are all related to him, they have all changed, how can he not change?
Moreover, you must know that he is the one behind the scenes who stands behind Duan Yongping and Berezovsky, and all the major decisions of the company are decided by him, how can he not change in the long run.
It can even be said that he is the initiator of the changes in Duan Yongping and others.
Fang Chen also felt that his mentality, from an ordinary person who was quite good in his previous life, gradually became a real boss of a large company, the richest man in a country.
Especially in Villa 15, the moment he raised his hand, he really realized that he was no longer an ordinary person, not only his own fate was in his hands, but even the fate of others, thousands of people were also in his hands.
"Isn't that bad?" Fang Chen suddenly asked with a smile.
Ye Lina shook her head gently, "Of course it's good, but I think boss, you're too tired and need to rest." ”
Hearing this, Fang Chen suddenly smiled, "Now that everything has been resolved, if you don't say it, I will also rest." ”
This series of messy and broken things, especially after Niu Hongwei and their affairs were resolved, he was completely fine, after all, helping Niu Hongwei and them was the biggest purpose of his coming to Russia.
And even if there is something else in the future, Wu Maocai can come forward to solve it, and he doesn't need to spend too much energy at all.
Although Wu Mao has only done a little bit before, but there have been benefits, since this incident, I am afraid that few people will dare to suppress it like this and find Niu Hongwei and their trouble.
If there are still such people who don't have long eyes, then I'm afraid he really has to think about letting those who don't have long eyes see blood.
In fact, half a month ago, he had completely entered the state of vacation, just because of Niu Hongwei and their business, he came out for a walk around again, and it took a little brain.
He plans to stay in Russia quietly for three months, and then return to China when the month is over, and in addition to preparing for the New Year, he will also attend a banquet.
Some time ago, Secretary Zhu of Xiangshan called him and said that the matter of the Lingnan Science and Technology Award had been finalized, and he was going to have a bigger banquet before the award in February and March next year.
Moreover, Fang Chen also wanted to meet the elites from all walks of life in Lingnan and see some of the bigwigs in his previous life.
"By the way, does Rudskoi's attitude really have no effect?" asked Yelina suddenly.
Hearing this, Wu Maocai, who had been hanging his head, was like a frightened rabbit, his ears instantly stood up, and he looked at Fang Chen a little nervously.
Vice President Rudskoi was the person who reacted the most to these movements, and it was precisely because of him that Fang Chen came to the Moscow orphanage to donate this million.
Fang Chen waved his hand, a sneering smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, "Don't care. ”
Because President Yeltsin and the Prime Minister are shoulder to shoulder, Rudskoi, the vice president, is the real No. 2 person in Russia, especially in the August incident, Rudskoi made a great effort, and although his momentum and limelight are worse than Yeltsin's, in fact they are not much worse.
But in Fang Chen's eyes, it is enough to maintain a certain amount of superficial respect for Rudskoi, and the rest does not care, let alone apologize for the door.
After all, he was a member of Yeltsin's line, and it was no good to get too close to Rudskoi.
Moreover, as a reborn being, he knew very well that Rudskoi would not be able to stumble for long.
Now Rudskoi has developed an opposition to Yeltsin's shock therapy, and in his previous life he was a staunch opponent of shock therapy, and later even became the leader of Yeltsin's opposition, until the October events of '93, when Yeltsin gave him a pot of stew.
In other words, it won't be long before Yeltsin will have a bad feeling for Rudskoi, so if he goes to Rudskoi now to apologize, won't he be making trouble for himself.
Although in the eyes of many people, Yeltsin's position will not last long, but he is clear that Yeltsin has been sitting in the position of Russian president for nine years, until he handed over the nuclear arsenal suitcase to Comrade Vladimir, he has firmly controlled the supreme power in Russia, and it can be regarded as a good start and finish.
So he just had to follow Yeltsin closely, and as long as Yeltsin didn't say anything dissatisfied with him, he didn't care at all about anyone else.
Not to mention, he had already called Chubais, the chief of staff of the president, to transfer to Yeltsin on his behalf and mediate.
It will not even be long before the contradictions between Yeltsin and Rudskoi become public, and Rudskoi's hostility and dissatisfaction with him will turn into a plus.
Fang Chen's expression moved slightly, this is probably the biggest benefit of the reborn, the general direction, the big event will definitely not be on the wrong side.
Ye Lina looked at Fang Chen, her lips moved slightly, and she wanted to speak again, but after a few breaths, her eyes gradually became clear, and she chose to believe Fang Chen.
As Luzhkov said, perhaps because of his age and experience, Fang Chen's methods may be more immature than them, but Fang Chen's insight and vision are first-class, and he has to admire them, and even now he has not found one who can compare with Fang Chen in these two aspects, otherwise how to explain why Fang Chen can lay such a big foundation in such a short period of time.
Wu Maocai's face was even more relaxed, he believed in Fang Chen 100%, and he believed whatever Fang Chen said.
After returning to the Moscow Hotel, Fang Chen returned to his original salted fish time, except for making phone calls to Su Yan, talking to the right rolls, and chatting with Berezovsky, Ma Yun and others, almost all of them did not leave the door.
This state of affairs lasted for more than a month, until December 24.
Fang Chen was extremely abnormal, just after eating at noon, he sat quietly on the wide balcony, looking at the Kremlin in the distance and the Soviet flag on it.
He was going to see off this red giant who had existed for seventy-four years.
The inertia of history is undoubtedly enormous, and half a month ago, Yeltsin went to Belarus and, without concealing Gorbachev, signed an agreement with the leaders of Ukraine and Belarus on his own in Belovezh, announcing the cessation of the existence of the Soviets and the establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent States to replace them.
And yesterday, Chubais called and told him that Gorbachev would resign today from the post of president of the Soviets, declaring the Soviets officially history.
After hearing the news, Fang Chen felt a little complicated at that time, because in his previous life, the Soviets were only declared history tomorrow.
That is, now a day earlier than in the previous life.
Fang Chen secretly felt that this day earlier had something to do with him, it was precisely because of his existence that the butterfly's wings flapped little by little, which finally caused a series of reactions, so he advanced such a day.
As 7 o'clock in the evening came, Gorbachev officially announced his resignation on television, marking a huge end to the Soviets and handing over to Yeltsin the suitcase of the nuclear arsenal, a symbol of the supreme commander-in-chief.
The Soviet flag not far away also came to an end under the sunset, becoming history and a part of people's memory.
Suddenly, Fang Chen felt that the surroundings had become a dead silence, quiet and a little scary, as if all the sounds had disappeared.
But soon, a cry suddenly sounded!
This was like a fuse, and countless cries came out in an instant, and the cries became louder and louder, deafening, and the ghosts cried, and the entire city of Moscow became a sea of weeping.
For all the ex-Soviets, this Christmas Eve was not peaceful, and their greatest reliance was gone.
Fang Chen sighed faintly, not sad, but his mood at this time was a little complicated.
The Soviets were the best teachers in China.
It has divided our land, it has guided our revolution, it has helped us, it has fought side by side with us, but it has also hurt us.
If a country tells Huaxia that I want to buy missiles, but I don't have the money, so I can use oil to pay off my debts, Huaxia says, just come and pick up the goods!
If a country tells Huaxia that I want to learn to build railways and operate railways, but I don't have any money, I will use mines to pay off debts;
If a country tells Huaxia that I want to learn how to make steel, make machine tools, synthesize chemicals, enrich uranium, build airplanes, and build intercontinental missiles, Huaxia will definitely think, this guy has burned out his brain, right?
However, there was one country that really did this for China, and that was the Soviets.
The Soviet aid to China in the construction of 156 large-scale projects worth 9.4 billion rubles, or about 7% of the Soviet national income in 1959.
There were a lot of large machines, and the Soviets built only two, one for them and one for us.
From a poor and white agricultural country to an industrial country capable of building aircraft and tanks, it took Britain 50 years, Germany 35 years, the Soviet 20 years, and China only 5 years.
The Soviet Union's aid to China was the only time in the history of mankind that it was an organized and comprehensively industrialized agricultural country.
Even nuclear weapons are used to help with it, which is really unique.
Even dead, the Soviets are telling China what will happen to the free world when a big red country moves towards so-called capitalism, the country is divided, the nation is poor and weak, and there will never be a future.
A large country ranked second in the world, the pillar of the red camp, one of the two poles of the world, the whole of Europe trembling under the torrent of Soviet steel!
In later generations, Comrade O'Guanhai unceremoniously believed that its successor, Russia, was just an unimportant country, a country that had nothing but nuclear weapons and oil.
