Chapter 746: Reasonable

For a while, Kadannikov and Luzhkov fell silent in unison.

Fang Chen's judgment that Yeltsin could have the last laugh will greatly affect their future choices.

Then it is reasonable that Fang Chen chose to treat Rudskoi with a tough attitude.

Judging by the current situation in Russia, if Rudskoi and Khasbulatov continue like this, sooner or later they will have a life-and-death struggle with Gaidar and Chubais, or more precisely, with Yeltsin.

If, according to Fang Chen's prediction, the winner is Yeltsin, then those who are close to Rudskoi will definitely be punished, and those like Fang Chen who were hit by Rudskoi and made a counterattack will also be rewarded.

Of course, the premise is that Fang Chen's prediction is correct, and if the winner is Rudskoi, it will be all over.

But with their understanding of Yeltsin and the situation in Russia, Yeltsin's chances of victory are still greater, and even they have to retain three points of respect for Yeltsin, the fighter who really overthrew the Soviets and established Russia.

"Looking at the present, thinking about last year, there is a real feeling that things are wrong. Kadannikov lamented.

At this time last year, they were still united in trying to overthrow the Soviets and establish Russia, but now they have reached a point where they are falling apart, sabre-rattling, and life and death.

How can this make him not feel emotional, and he has mixed tastes.

"Just as we say in China, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there are struggles. Fang Chen said faintly.

Then Fang Chen roughly explained what rivers and lakes were.

In this world, as long as there are interests, comrades-in-arms who are originally close and close to each other will turn against each other at any time, not to mention those who have their own ghosts in their hearts and are unwilling to submit to others.

After a short period of convergence and the achievement of the goal, it is really normal to turn your face and face each other with swords.

"The most important thing is that even if someone misses the Soviets, no one really wants to go back to the Soviet era!" Fang Chen said in a decisive tone.

After a few seconds of silence, Kadannikov and Luzhkov nodded solemnly, the last years of the Soviets had ruined everyone's goodwill towards the Soviets.

If this were not the case, Yeltsin would not have been elected president of Russia with a high vote, this is the choice of the people.

"Then Rudskoy and they're dead!" Luzhkov said in a deep voice.

Fang Chen blinked his eyes, Rudskoi's political life was dead, but their personal safety was quite guaranteed.

In fact, since the establishment of Muscovy by the Eastern Slavs at the end of the fifteenth century, the losers of the political struggle have basically ended badly, either by hanging or exiled to Siberia.

But in the Yeltsin era, it seems to show that Russia is now a democratic and liberal capitalist country, whether it is defeated in the struggle, or the people are boiling and resigning, there is basically no danger to life, and even freedom is not restricted.

Kadannikov is a prime example of this, who, after stepping down, was able to go with Berezovsky to cheat and resell cars.

Like Chubais and Chernomerdin, there have been three ups and downs, and he has held the post of Russian general manager many times.

Even the enemy side like Rudskoi and Khasbulatov, who had already made a fuss with each other and shelled the White House, was unharmed.

The two men were released home by Yeltsin's amnesty the year after their arrest.

Khasbulatov was thoroughly tired of politics, and after his release from prison, he continued to teach at his alma mater, Moscow University, regardless of current affairs.

As for Rudskoi, after his release, he actually became the governor of a Russian oblast, which is simply a miracle.

But Comrade Vladimir did not seem to be very interested in Rudskoi, and when Rudskoi sought re-election, he asked the court to disqualify Rudskoi from running for election on the grounds that he had used his power to build momentum and that the source of his wealth was unknown.

Later, when Rudskoi ran for the State Duma, he was again disqualified by the Russian Supreme Court, apparently not giving Rudskoi the opportunity to run at all.

"However, now is not the time to take it lightly, we can feel that the victory is in hand, as long as the contradiction between them and Mr. President is not intensified for a day, and Mr. President does not make up his mind to eradicate the two of them for a day, then we still have to endure it. Fang Chen said helplessly.

"Then you mean that Gaidar and Chubais will be unlucky?" said Kadannikov with some sudden schadenfreude.

As the saying goes, if two tigers fight each other, one will be injured, and since Rudskoi and them were safe and sound before the conflict with Yeltsin intensified, then the unlucky ones must be Gaidar and them.

Fang Chen nodded lightly.

Hearing this, Kadannikov couldn't help but frown, although he was now in peace with Gaidar and Chubais, and he had reaped a lot of benefits a few days ago because of the signing of documents.

But you know, this is conditional on him regressing and suffering humiliation!

Moreover, if Gaidar steps down, won't he have the opportunity to become Russia's first vice president, and everyone knows that Yeltsin's post of prime minister will definitely be stepped down, and then he will not be Russia's No. 3 person in the name of the word.

"Originally, Russia's implementation of shock therapy and privatization has caused public resentment to boil, and then there are strong enemies like Rudskoi and Khasbulatov, Chubais, the director of the presidential office and the chairman of the state-owned assets management committee, may be able to get out of the way if he is lucky, after all, he is at most the chief butler of Mr. President, but Gaidar must come down. Luzhkov hit the nail on the head.

As soon as the words changed, Luzhkov glanced at Kadannikov with some malice, and after seeing Kadannikov's brows slightly furrowed, his face was gloomy, and then he said faintly: "Next, it is estimated that it will not be Kadannikov's turn for you to take over, but it should be the old fox Chernomyrdin." ”

When Kadannikov heard this, his eyes narrowed at first, and his heart was displeased, but when he heard the name of Chernomerdin, he instantly wilted.

Although he and Chernomyrdin are both vice presidents, in no particular order, if the old fox Chernomerdin runs in front of him, he will not be surprised if he is not convinced.

He was previously the director of the Volga Automobile Plant, the largest Soviet automobile manufacturing enterprise, while Chernomyrdin was the leader of the largest Soviet enterprise, the Tyumen Gazprom Complex, which is now the director of Gazprom.

It's just that fortunately, Chernomyrdin does not understand economics, and he, the director of the Soviet Tyumen Gas Industry Complex, only says that he is a part-time job as the Minister of Soviet Gas.

In addition, Chernomyrdin is recognized among them, except for Yeltsin, the most incomprehensible person, otherwise why would the word "old fox" be added to the end of the mention of Chernomerdin.

Thinking of this, Kadannikov suddenly wilted a little, a little dream-shattered.

Fang Chen glanced at Luzhkov in surprise, and gave a thumbs up in his heart, it was not surprising that Gaidar would step down, after all, he had given enough hints before.

But it can be judged that it is not Kadannikov who will take the post of Gaidar, but Chernomerdin, it is more rare, it seems that Luzhkov, the sun that does not set in Moscow, is not given in vain.

"In addition, this is actually related to us, or to be more precise, I am already the mayor of Moscow, so Kadannikov is obviously not suitable for such an important position as the first deputy prime minister of Russia. Luzhkov said apologetically.

But having said that, Luzhkov's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of pride, and the competition with Kadannikov was a step ahead for him after all.

He and Kadannikov also looked down on each other before, he felt that Kadannikov was too arrogant and rose up by background.

Kadannikov, on the other hand, felt that he was only one of the hundreds of middle-level cadres in Moscow and was not qualified to sit on an equal footing with him.

Later, it was only after Fang Chen that the relationship between the two got better, forming the current alliance.

Thinking of this, Luzhkov suddenly said to Fang Chen just now, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, there are battles, and there is a new level of enlightenment.

Fang Chen couldn't help but squint his eyes, and praised Luzhkov again in his heart, to be honest, all his previous predictions, the biggest basis was his understanding of these things in his previous life, but he really didn't think about the problem from the perspective that Luzhkov said.

The mayor of Moscow is the fifth in Russia, and if the vice president and the speaker are weakened, as was the case in later generations, then the mayor of Moscow is the third.

And the second, above 10,000 people under one person, is undoubtedly the first vice president of Russia, but now there is Rudskoi, who is a little aggrieved and ranks third.

Therefore, neither Yeltsin nor Rudskoi would like to see a coalition of third and fifth places, plus him, the richest man in Russia, appear.

Hearing this, Kadannikov wilted even more, and was completely finished, so that he really did not have the life to be the president.

"Actually, Kadannikov, you don't have to be too pessimistic, Chernomyrdin is not without weaknesses, his biggest weakness is that he does not understand the economy, at the time of the convergence of the Russian situation, a first deputy general manager who does not understand the economy will not be able to do it for too long, and when the time comes, who else will you be? Even Chubais will not be able to run ahead of you. Fang Chen couldn't help but comfort Kadannikov.
