Chapter 70: Different Choices Bring Different Results!

"I don't want to go to Tatarstan with you to politics, I have such a strong grasp of people's hearts because I often schizophrenia to substitute for characters!

Besides, what's so good about being a leader, they can't go anywhere in meetings every day, and if they spend a little money, they will be stared at by the people for fear that you will spend public money, why do I let a free playboy not do it to find guilt for myself. Jia Lei rolled his eyes and said.

In his previous life, when he wrote, he used the method of self-division to bring into the hearts of the characters, although this can better write the psychological activities of the characters, but the taste after coming out of this schizophrenic state is really uncomfortable.

In a simple sentence, it is too deep into the play!

Jia Lei feels that politics is hard work, boring and a waste of brain cells, and the most important thing is that politicians have no freedom in meetings every day, and Jia Lei will never do it.

"Hey, since you don't want to be in politics, forget it, anyway, my old bones can last you for 10 years and 8 years. Maybe when you grow up, you'll change your mind and want to go into politics, after all, what man doesn't want to be in power. Utarus said with a sigh.

"I want to get drunk on the knees of beauties more than to wake up and take charge of the world, I don't think I will change my mind when I grow up, it's good to be a rich playboy!" Jia Lei said solemnly.

His mental age has long since grown, okay?

Jia Lei's strategy of boiling frogs in warm water really worked, and the Yeltsin government was in dire need of support and tax revenue from local governments, and since the Tatarstan government took the initiative to show favor, of course they wanted to accept it.

Anyway, they themselves have already gotten what Tatarstan asked for this time, and it is a fact whether Moscow gives it or not, so the Russian Federation is particularly happy to agree to this exchange of benefits.

What's more, although the headquarters of the CPSU in Moscow has fallen, there are still many supporters of the CPSU in the federal districts below.

Yeltsin's bombardment of the White House Capitol and the seizure of power by force were not so justified after all, so Yeltsin began to lay down his position and win over the actual rulers of the local jurisdictions.

In January, the government of the Russian Federation signed a simple agreement with Tatarstan, under which Tatarstan received the right to independently sign international treaties and the government of the Russian Federation received the taxes paid by Tatarstan.

*****

"Look, I said that the Moscow government would give in, right?" Jia Lei said with a smile to Utarus.

"Now that they're in the trap, what are we going to do next?" asked Utarus.

"Of course it is the founding of the country? Tatarstan only promised the Yeltsin government not to become independent from the Russian Federation, but it did not say that it would not establish the country!" Jia Lei said with a smile.

"But how can we establish our own state without independence from the Russian Federation?" asked Utarus, puzzled.

"What's so difficult about this! Do you remember the 15 member states of the former Soviet Union?" Jia Lei asked him.

"Of course I remember, we were part of the former Soviet Union, but what does this have to do with our founding?" asked Utarus.

"I think Tatarstan can also emulate Russia's political status in the former Soviet Union and let Tatarstan remain in the Russian Federation as a member state!" Jia Lei said with a smile.

"Wonderful! This is a brilliant idea, so that we are not nominally independent from the Russian Federation, but in reality have the same international status as the government of the Russian Federation, just like the other member states of the CIS!" said Utaru with a nod of his head.

That's what I mean, we are doing exactly what His Excellency Yeltsin demanded, that is, we have not divided the Russian Federation and have not become independent from the Russian Federation. I don't think Moscow will refuse this reasonable request!" Mr. Jia said.

Things have come to this point, and the Russian Federation, of course, will not refuse Tatarstan's demands, otherwise the previous efforts will be in vain.

After all, this is the first time that Tatarstan has given up the idea of independence from the Russian Federation and intends to remain in the Russian Federation, although in fact Tatarstan's status in the Federation is no different from independence, but Tatarstan has saved the face of the Russian Federation and Yeltsin to some extent.

The other federal regions that followed Tatarstan and Chechnya to become independent saw that Tatarstan, which was the most powerful, no longer demanded independence, so they did not dare to ask for independence at all, even less than Tatarstan.

So on February 15, 1994

The Central Committee of the Russian Federation signed the first treaty on decentralization with Tatarstan, in which Moscow granted Tatarstan a series of political rights belonging to the sovereign state, agreeing to Tatarstan's status as a member state of Tatar in the Russian Federation.

On the other hand, Tatarstan formally renounced its claim for independence from the Russian Federation and became a member of the Russian Federation as a state subject.

Note that Tatarstan is here a member state of the Russian Federation as a state subject, and they are in a state reciprocal relationship with the Russian Federation.

Therefore, Tatarstan has the right to set up its own embassies in various countries around the world, issue its own passports to its citizens, formulate constitutions and tax policies belonging to Tatarstan, and a series of powers belonging to independent states......

As a sovereign state, Tatarstan has been universally recognized internationally, and more than 50 countries have set up their own embassies in Tatarstan, including the Chinese Embassy.

Because of Jia Lei's early reminder, Huaxia was almost the first batch of countries to set up embassies in Tatarstan, and such a move won the goodwill of the whole country in Tatarstan.

Jia Lei returned to China to deal with his own affairs after he was busy with the most crucial step of the founding of Tatarstan, but he was not there, and the affairs between the Russian government and Tatarstan still had to continue.

This step by Jia Lei and Tatarstan was very correct and timely, and the Tatarstan government finally obtained the disguised recognition of the Russian Federation through compromises and concessions, allowing Tatarstan to enter the international arena as a sovereign state.

At this point, after nearly three years of struggle for independence, Tatarstan finally had a political status recognized by the international community and became a sovereign state generally recognized by most countries in the League of Nations.

*****

After Yeltsin signed a decentralization treaty with Tatarstan, he erected a model of cooperation with Tatarstan and began to promote it to all federal jurisdictions, and the federal regions also signed decentralization treaties with Moscow, and the entire Russian Federation finally stabilized from the state of independence and disintegration.

In May, Yeltsin even went to Tatarstan to carry out a goodwill event, and proposed to introduce Tatarstan as a form of treaty federation throughout the Russian Federation, instead of replacing the previous constitutional federation form that was mandated by the Constitution.

As soon as this decision was made, the whole Russian Federation was jubilant, and the federal districts and the People's Republic of China signed this agreement one after another, but it is a pity that this kind of contract that gives the localities great autonomy leaves many hidden dangers.

Of course, the short-sighted Yeltsin did not think about the future at all, and he is now busy trying to win people's hearts everywhere.

The lucrative taxes paid by Tatarstan were also important to Yeltsin, and when he had money, Yeltsin even began to sprinkle large sums of money to raise the living standards of the people of the Tuvan Republic, which was in the process of becoming independent, to the average level of the Russian Federation, so that the country gave up the idea of independence.

It is a pity that Yeltsin's policy of softness towards the following federal jurisdictions did not win the support of everyone, and there are always people who want to stand on their own and claim hegemony.

For example, Chechnya!

The Chechen government has always been reluctant to sign a power-sharing treaty with the Russian Federation, because during the period of the CPSU and the Russian Federation, Yeltsin and the CPSU secretly provided the Chechen government with a large amount of money and weapons to make them independent, so as to draw the attention of the other side.

And now the Chechen government, which has been fed by both sides, is really going to become independent, because the Chechen region has extremely large oil and gas reserves under it, and if they sign a treaty to join the Russian Federation, then these oil resources belong to the Russian Federation.

Who would want to give up such a large fortune?

And because the Chechen nation does not produce and admires force, their criminal activities against the surrounding regions of the Russian Federation have never stopped since their independence in 91.

Forgery of remittance slips, counterfeiting of counterfeit currency in a paraofficial manner, theft of petroleum products, robbery of passing trains and hostage-taking for ransom are the main sources of financing for Chechen militants.

What is more important is that in order to deal with the Russian government left over from the former Soviet Union, the Western countries led by country M have secretly funded illegal armed forces in Chechnya to resist the Russian federal government in the name of democracy and freedom.

At this time, the low-oil price policy led by country M, which began during the Cold War, was still continuing, and it was this long-term low-oil price policy that eventually brought down the balance of payments of the former Soviet Union, exacerbated inflation in the former Soviet Union, and led the former Soviet Union to disintegration.

In the case of the collapse of the ruble, oil and gas, which can be exported for dollars, is a lifesaver for the government of the Russian Federation, and the policy of low oil prices is like putting Russian blood on it.

Yeltsin and the government of the Russian Federation, of course, did not want to repeat the mistakes of the collapse of the former Soviet Union!

So after repeated communication between the two sides to no avail, the Russian government decided to use a war to conquer Chechnya, and this decision was immediately unanimously approved by the military!

Because of the arrears of military spending in the past two years, almost all Russian troops are relying on the sale of weapons and equipment to maintain themselves.

Therefore, some people in the Russian army made a fortune by selling large sums of weapons and equipment and military supplies to Chechen militants through the underground arms trade, which led to a large evaporation of government military armaments.

The people in the army are afraid that the matter of buying and selling armaments will be exposed, and they urgently need a war to cover up their crimes, and once the war in Chechnya starts, these armaments can be justifiably "consumed", "disappeared", and "damaged"!

Of course, the Russian military at that time never thought about the outcome of this war, because they did not think that Chechen militants, who had only a few hundred thousand people, could pose a threat to the Russian military, which had millions of troops and had aircraft and tanks.

So in December 1994, when the Russian military marched into Chechnya by three routes, Grachev, then the Russian defense chief, confidently said: "He only needs an airborne battalion to take Grozny in a few days." ”

Grozny is the capital of Chechnya!

It is precisely because of this eagerness and contempt that the Russian military suffered a big loss on the battlefield!

This led to the war being fought from December 1994 to August 1996, during which time the Russian military suffered heavy casualties!

On December 31, 1994, more than 1,000 Russian troops were killed in one night because of the stubborn resistance of the Chechen armed forces in the ground forces of the Russian army.

On August 31, 1996, under domestic economic pressure and the imminent election, Yeltsin had to sign a ceasefire agreement with Chechnya, and the first Chechen war ended in defeat for the Russian Federation.

At this point, Tatarstan and Chechnya, two democratic republics that became independent at the same time in 91, embarked on two different paths of development because of different choices.

A developed country that has become a developed country after more than ten years of development!

A country that has become a more conservative and poorer country after more than a decade of war!
