Chapter 507: The Instigator

During the whole explanation process, everyone's faces were calm, without a trace of waves.

All of you here are the best of the best, and naturally they know the importance of this document in Yeltsin's heart, not to mention Yeltsin's actions just now, which have clearly made clear to them his attitude.

Yeltsin did not want anyone to come forward and question the document.

However, the eyes of the old foxes, such as Vice President Rudskoi, Acting Chairman of the Parliament Khasbulatov, and Deputy General President Rychernomyrdin, swept over the faces of Fang Chen and Kadannikov from time to time.

If it were them, even if it was a hymn, they would have to say a few words.

It's a pity that in the economic field, those who are really qualified to speak and will be adopted by Yeltsin are Gaidar, Chubais, Kadannikov, and Fang Chen, and the others basically can't say anything in the economic field.

If military affairs and war were to be discussed, more than half of them would be able to speak.

Seeing this, Luzhkov sneered in his heart, what should be mixed in, they have already been mixed into this document, otherwise when he and Kadannikov, what are they running to Villa 15 when they are free these days?

Fang Chen and Kadannikov completely ignored these provocative eyes, quietly looked at Chubais, and sometimes even nodded slightly.

The nods of the two seemed to give Chubais great confidence, and Chubais's explanation couldn't help but be much higher.

Chubais spoke in detail this time, for more than an hour, after all, he could not have expected a reckless man like Rudskoi to understand their carefully researched ideas as easily as Fang Chen.

Thinking of this, Chubais subconsciously glanced at Fang Chen, his bosom friend was hard to find.

"Who has an opinion on this document?" Yeltsin said in a deep voice, knocking on the table.

Rudskoi, who was on Yeltsin's left-hand side, thought for a moment, ignored Khasbulatov, who was gently tugging at the corners of his clothes, and said with some hesitation: "Is this too intense, too rushed?" ”

Seeing that Yeltsin's face instantly turned black and a little displeased, Rudskoi hurriedly made up for it: "I'm not saying that I oppose this document, but just that we need to wait a little longer to make the document more perfect." ”

Yeltsin turned his head to look at Rudskoi and said slowly: "My dear vice president, I just got two sentences that I think make a lot of sense, and I will give them to you now." ”

As he spoke, Yeltsin glanced at Fang Chen,

Fang Chen felt a sigh in his heart, and he had an inexplicable premonition, not knowing whether to be happy or unhappy.

"Because gradualism is death, it strengthens vested interests and wipes out any chance of reform. ”

"The idea that reform can be carried out gently, slowly, without pain, to make everyone happy, is just an unrealistic fantasy!"

Sure enough, Yeltsin repeated what Fang Chen had just said to Gaidar and Chubais, word by word, with great seriousness and solemnity.

When Chubais reported to him just now, he mentioned Fang Chen's two sentences, which were really good, and they completely entered his heart.

Fang Chen rubbed his nose slightly, a little embarrassed, he believed that it wouldn't be long before Rudskoi and Khasbulatov and other bigwigs would know that he said this.

He didn't care what these bigwigs would do to him because of these words, but it didn't match his low-key style.

However, through the scene just now, Fang Chen is sure that in the future, the history of Rudskoi and Khasbulatov joining forces against Yeltsin, and Yeltsin's shelling of the White House, will be repeated.

Yeltsin suddenly stood up, looked excited, waved his fist and said: "I can't force young people to wait again, so I can't make a decision after many years of step-by-step summing up as before." ”

"If we're determined, we're going to do it now!"

After speaking, Yeltsin glanced at Rudskoi, "Do you still have any questions?"

"No, as you say, capitalism at its worst is better than it is now. Rudskoi said.

Only then did Yeltsin nod with satisfaction.

"Well, we are now voting by a show of hands, and those who agree to the implementation of shock therapy are raising their hands. ”

As soon as Yeltsin's words fell, one arm after another was raised in an instant.

Looking at this arm, which was only like a forest, and then looking down at the arm that belonged to him, which should have been extremely familiar, Fang Chen was in a trance at this time, like a dream, full of unreality.

He turned out to be one of the few people who could decide the fate of Russia.

After a few breaths, Fang Chen came to his senses, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

If there is a record of Russian history in the future, or a book dedicated to the great oligarchs, then the great oligarchs' interference in Russian policy must definitely start with the hand he is holding up now.

He is now the so-called initiator.

To be honest, Fang Chen really didn't want to raise his hand, it was best to be a transparent person, but he didn't see Rudskoi have to raise his hand, if he didn't raise his hand, wouldn't he be looking for death.

"Next, let's discuss the appointment of government officials, and a series of positions are still vacant in a series of positions, such as Minister of Transport, Minister of Civil Affairs, etc. ”

As he spoke, Yeltsin motioned to Chubais to issue another document.

"The post of Minister of Transport, Rudskoi, what do you think. Yeltsin suddenly asked.

Fang Chen's expression moved, what is this, hit a stick, give a sweet date.

Rudskoi pretended to think for two seconds, and then said: "How about Sidorov, the current deputy minister of the Soviet Ministry of Transport?"

"What race is he?" Yeltsin continued.

"Ethnic Russians. ”

Hearing this, Yeltsin's expression was relieved and he nodded lightly.

"Then let's talk about the position of Minister of Civil Affairs. ”

Listening to the discussion of these positions one by one, Fang Chen suddenly felt cold all over his body, and he tried hard to shrink himself up so that others would not see him.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really couldn't have imagined that Russia's ministers, governors, and presidents of member countries would be discussed like child's play.

It's just like kindergarten children, standing in line, what's the difference between eating fruits?

Fang Chen's heart was once again filled with a sense of unreality, like a dream.

A group of children sitting in a villa, writing an outline and wanting to form a government.

He couldn't help but think of a Russian fairy tale he had heard, there was a fairy tale in Russia about a certain magical cave, this cave has endless wealth, in this cave, you can take as much treasure as you can resist on your shoulders.

And this is a magical cave, except that it contains not wealth but power, and they try to take as much power as they can.

I don't know how long it took, a bitter and self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Fang Chen's mouth, the day when the bubble of the dream was finally punctured again.

He was silent, watching the crowd silently, watching them slide pieces of the fruits of victory into their pockets.

I don't know how long it took, but the fruit was finally almost divided, and Yeltsin announced the dissolution of the meeting.

In order not to attract the attention of the Kremlin, Yeltsin did not intend to hold a banquet to celebrate, and simply left.

The others also cautiously left Villa 15 in batches.

Fang Chen smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart, he was really in a hurry to come and go.

However, when Fang Chen was about to leave, Luzhkov suddenly invited Fang Chen to get into his car.

Sitting in the car, Fang Chen and Luzhkov were silent, without the slightest desire to speak.

After a full twenty minutes, Luzhkov said in a somewhat dry tone: "I feel that he has changed, he has become more bureaucratic, he is only interested in power, but he wants to have a team of daring people to get rid of all the old bureaucrats." He also understands that for us, He is God and we must follow Him. ”

Fang Chen paused for a moment, how did he feel that Luzhkov's words were a bit upside down, but it seemed to contain a lot of information.

And he vaguely seemed to grasp something, but he didn't catch it at all.

After thinking for nearly ten minutes, Fang Chen's expression moved slightly, he probably understood what Luzhkov meant by his words, he patted Luzhkov on the shoulder, but he didn't know what to say.

The Soviets used to be powerful and arrogant, however, according to the experience of Yeltsin and Gaidar, authoritarianism was the main cause of evil, so they did not want to see a strong state right away, and they thought about destroying the old system, not rebuilding it.

But in the history of Russia, Russia is a raging beast, only the truly strong can tame Russia, and a non-dictatorial leadership in Russia usually ends well.

In other words, Yeltsin wanted to use dictatorial means to build a democratic and free country.

That's why Luzhkov's words seem so weird.

However, this didn't seem to have much to do with him, and there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of Fang Chen's mouth.

As long as Russia continues to follow the path of its previous life, then he will be able to get the most out of it, not to mention that he still has the ability to gently push the big ship of Russia.

Even if Russia occasionally deviates the course slightly, he can pull it back, and he has the strength to do so now.

"What happened to those two Huaxia masters?" Fang Chen decided to divert the subject.

Luzhkov smiled slightly, "Very good, they have already confessed their crimes, and in a few days, a public trial will be held, and this is still your credit." ”

Li Jinshui and Liu Mazi cooperated unexpectedly, as soon as they entered, they didn't use any means, and everything was said like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

The two of them had been tortured by Fang Chen's big gathering, and they didn't have any intention of resisting, anyway, they were all dead, so why should they suffer any more flesh and skin, but they would have said that they would have died early.
