Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the situation in Russia has not improved for many years. In fact, it is not that the Russian authorities do not want to change this status quo, it is that they have too few resources at their disposal.

As a state entity that is generally recognized in the international community, the Russian authorities are not able to maintain unity even in their own currency. Although the ruble has risen after the shock therapy, it can only be said that it is surviving, and there is no economic data to predict that it will have more room for appreciation in the future.

In contrast, in addition to the ruble, shopping coupons from various merchants in Russia naturally fill this gap.

Unlike the ruble, the issuing merchant itself has sufficient reserves and supply capacity. The face value of the shopping voucher is basically equal to the value of the goods in the market, and there is almost no premium component. By this time, such strong notes had become an indispensable part of the liquidity supplement in the Russian domestic market.

If the Russian authorities want to change this situation, there are only two methods. One is to declare the shopping vouchers illegal and revoke them, or the authorities can redeem the shopping vouchers in the hands of the citizens.

The former way, on the premise that the CPSU still exists, is simply to invite the Soviet Union back. The latter option also requires the Russian authorities to have sufficient material reserves to be used for redemption.

Both of these methods, for the current Russian authorities, are absolutely impossible. And one can imagine how much control a government can have over the country that cannot effectively manage even its own domestic currency.

Not to mention that this kind of environment has no impact on ordinary people, in fact, it is profoundly affecting this country that has just fallen into hell.

Khrunichev and Plesetsk Marlin notices were posted in front of the entrance of the building of the Scientific Research Center. The workers, who had long been accustomed to it, did not take a second look at this notice, but pushed open the door with a numb expression and walked inside.

Anyway, it's lucky enough to be able to work an extra day.

However, in the midst of these lifeless, day-to-day days, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the top floor.

"Garingelb, you are also an engineer, have you even been in shock with the most basic academic literacy along with shock therapy?"

The earth-shattering sound of door kicks and roars echoed throughout the research center building, ensuring that anyone could hear what was happening on the floors above.

Plesetsk Marlin, an honest man of wood, no one thought that starting a fire would be so scary.

"Don't you dare to make such a baseless assertion, don't you dare to come out and confront me?"

"You coward who only dares to stab your own people, can you still be considered a Russian?"

"You're just a dog in Dimitri at all, you can't even be an American dog, you can only be a dog for their dog!"

Plesetsk's shouts were simply deafening, and as more and more workers came to work, some voices began to ring out in the building of the scientific research center.

How much responsibility Plesetsk Marlin was responsible for the failure of the Proton launch is well known to everyone. What was unexpected was Plesetsk's reaction to this. Why did this guy, who has always been an "honest man" in the past, suddenly explode?

As the general manager of Khrunichev, Garingelb was a tyrant in this specially built space city during the Soviet era. In Soviet times, it was not impossible to fire the head of a laboratory, or throw Plesetsk in prison.

And Plesetsk is not to say kicking the door of Garingelb's office, but if you look resentful, there will be no good fruit to eat.

Did Plesetsk eat the bear's heart and leopard gall and dare to make trouble with Garingerb?

However, what is even more strange is that in the face of Plesetsk's overreaction, Galingeb hid in his office and did not dare to come out.

All morning, Plesetsk's roar echoed in the Khrunichev Research Center. And such trouble, it stands to reason that it only takes a phone call from Garingerbu, and naturally there will be security personnel who will let Plesetsk "walk around without eating".

In fact, the problem is with the security personnel.

"Andrew Sheropa, what do you want to do? Is it time to say this? Come to my office and get rid of this madman!"

"Comrade General Manager, now is the time to discuss this matter. ”

On the phone, the head of security, the head of the FSB in Khrunichev, Major Andrew Seropa, said unhurriedly: "If it weren't for the current situation, would you think of calling me this way?

"Please make a quick decision, Plesetsk is a problem, but we are also a problem. ”

"You know, my brothers and I are from the old KGB. If Dimitrogozin takes over Khrunichev, what will happen to us? Will the Americans look at me as an eyesore, and where will my superiors transfer me? What will be the future of my brothers? What do you expect from us, soldiers who have no tomorrow? Will you stand your last shift?"97 Chinese

"Sorry, you may not look very intelligent. Let me be clear, without money, we will not act. ”

Galingerbu slapped the table and almost lost his mind: "Andrew Seropa, you are a major in the Federal Security Service and a state official! What time is it for you to talk to me about money? In my capacity as the head of Khrunichev, I ask you to come to me immediately, otherwise you will face charges of treason, dereliction of duty, and a series of other crimes!"

"I also ask you to think clearly, if Khrunichev is about to be sold to Dimitrogozin, then you may well have lost your power before accusing me. And if you want me to serve you, then you can't just rely on the slogans in your mouth, we've seen too many people shouting slogans. ”

Galingeb was rarely silent, if he still had enough money in his hands, would Khrunichev end up in today's situation? Even if it was just the arrears of wages for the security forces, he could no longer pay it now.

Dimitrogozin already saw Khrunichev as a bag, and Galingeb, the old KGB, had no place for the future Khrunichev. Now that money is being spent to feed their appetites, will Dimitrogozin agree? Will those behind him agree?

Garingelb, the lame general manager, has long since moved a penny of rubles.

Hanging up the phone with a snap, Garingelb already felt a cold air rushing from the soles of his feet all the way to his head.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized he had made a mistake.

A mistake that many people in high positions make.

Does the power come from him, or does it come from where he is?

"Director Marlin, things are not what you think, there is a misunderstanding between us!"

Across the gate, Galingeb trembled and had to face the facts, and shouted to Plesetsk: "Putting the blame on your head, it's all Dimitrogozin's conspiracy! You go back first, I believe the organization will give you justice!"

"Organization, what organization?"

Plesetsk seemed to be tired of kicking the door, and was quiet for a moment, and then calmed down and said: "The organization that can give me justice is no longer here, Galingeb, you should understand where your power comes from." The power structure that supports you has collapsed, and you're just gliding through the air by inertia. ”

"Listen, I will never accept your slander of my professional abilities. I have contacted seven chief experts to argue about the Proton accident, and Khrunichev cannot sign any agreement until then. ”

"This is impossible, our agreement with Dimitrogozin is about to be signed!"

"Then I'll go to Moscow to report you!"

Plesetsk said viciously: "Garingerb, you have made a mistake. Without the position of general manager of Khrunichev, you are nothing! How much can you get by signing an agreement with Dimitrogozin? There are always millions of dollars, right? If you lose your power, why do you think you can keep such a large fortune?"

"As soon as someone accuses you, the federal security agents in Moscow will catch up with you like vultures, kill you, and finally eat everything you have!"

"You, are you alone?" said Garringer, but he thought of the crux of the matter.

People in high positions in the system always feel that even if they leave the system, they are still capable of maintaining their position, and even the system restricts their development. However, there is an old Chinese saying that says it well.

If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster.

Where does Garingelb's power come from, and who will he be without the position of general manager of Khrunichev?

How could it be that everyone liked him when Garingelb was not a ruble, and what fate would greet him when he lost all this, but he had a huge amount of money?

It's just that what Galingerb doesn't know is that Plesetsk, although he is not a ruble, is behind his back -

Red, green, and green shopping vouchers, but they can make everyone like it.

This is the result of someone else's currency, which can be a ruble, a shopping voucher, or even a completely physical bitcoin.

If uncontrolled currency is allowed to circulate in one's own territory, then those who hold it can buy anyone at a very low cost.

This, of course, includes the major of the KGB, as well as the authority of the Russian space sector.
