Regarding the mysterious rock academy established by Yang Weiping back then, although Karenia did not stay by Yang Weiping's side for a long time, she still knew a lot of things by using the channels of KGB.

It can be said that the current Rock Mercenary cannot be regarded as Yang Weiping's private army in the strict sense. After all, these professional mercenaries are complex, and almost all of them have long-term service experience in different countries. But the Rock Academy is completely different. This is a scout of the Rock's search for homeless, orphaned orphans around the world.

These scouts have received brainwashing-like education and strict training since childhood, and they have incomparable admiration and loyalty to Yang Weiping, the spiritual leader, and they can all be called dead soldiers! After more than eight years of training and growth, the scouts of those years have become fierce youth soldiers.

According to Karenia's information, a large part of the funds of Panshi International Security Company and Tiangong Foundation have flowed to the academy, which can be said to be the cornerstone project with the largest investment in manpower, material resources and financial resources since the establishment of Panshi.

It is no secret that Yang Weiping and the Americans cooperated in launching satellites. This means that the current Rock Mercenaries have a satellite monitoring and command system on the same level as the United States and the Soviet Union.

In Karenia's opinion, maybe Yang Weiping's current whereabouts and surrounding movements are under the monitoring of his own satellite all the time. There is no doubt that the young professional mercenaries who Odayev just mentioned who are secretly protecting Yang Weiping are likely to receive command and information support from military satellites in space during their missions. And this is the most powerful backhand that Karenia believes Sir Yang retains.

Aerospace electronics technology is developing rapidly with each passing day. As a result, the level of satellite technology in various countries in the world today has also improved a lot compared with the same period in history. This also contributed to the smooth implementation of the "Star Wars" program jointly planned by US President Ronald Reagan and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

Karenia came to South Burma this time to assist Yang Weiping in solving the problem of the South Burmese military government, but she also had a top-secret mission entrusted by the Supreme Committee of the Soviet Union: to ask Yang Weiping for advice on how the Soviet Union should deal with the "Star Wars" program jointly launched by the United States and Britain.

Odayev did not know Karenia's true mission. All he knew was that he had been ordered to unconditionally cooperate fully with any order given by Director Karenia of the Sixth Directorate. With his shrewdness and sophistication, how could he not see that the beautiful director in front of him was just using the mention of secretly kidnapping the "baron" to test whether he would be clever and assertive in the next action. Therefore, he did not hesitate to point out the strong protective force hidden around the "baron" and expressed his firm denial.

As for the many "stories that had to be told" about Karenia and the "Baron" circulating in the organization, Odayev wisely chose to ignore them. He didn't think that a "swallow" carefully trained by the KGB like Karenia would bend the law to damage the interests of the organization because of the little between men and women.

In this era of the USSR, Andropov did not die prematurely, as in history. Because Yang Weiping protects the wings of the big butterfly. The Soviet Union was not demoted to a second-class power militarily and technologically. Agriculture is not on the verge of collapse, and the country's economy does not need to rely on foreign investment to sustain itself. The Soviet Union, which is known as the "Andropov era" by the West, is heading for a new era of reform and opening up led by Andropov's iron fist.

As the chairman of the KGB, Andropov was at a time when Yang Weiping provided the Sukhoi Design Bureau with a full set of Su-27 technical and drawing materials. I have already begun to pay attention to this amazing young man. And in the years that followed. Yang Weiping expressed "special feelings" towards the Soviet Union. Andropov was not disappointed either. It can be said that Andropov came to power after seizing power from Brezhnev and stabilizing the situation in the country. Yang Weiping's military, scientific, technological, and economic support has a great deal of weight.

In particular, after many state-owned enterprises in the Soviet Union introduced and implemented the "Tiangong model", the economic recession in the Soviet Union since the mid-70s of this century was gradually contained, and the traditional extensive economy also began to implement top-down structural reform. The conversion of science and technology into productive forces has increased by 30 percent from only 25 percent of the previous results to 55 percent in 1985!

In order to prevent the Soviet Union from completely collapsing and disintegrating in 1991, as in history, Yang Weiping can be regarded as painstaking. While Brezhnev was still in power, Yang Weiping established a relationship between Guò and the KGB, using Karenia as an intermediary, to provide the Soviet Union with a large number of military and civilian high-tech, including quality management systems and standards. At the same time, he also used Karenia as a bridge to establish and maintain a good friendship and good relationship with Andropov.

Yang Weiping repeatedly conveyed to Andropov his concern about the current state of the economy of the Soviet Union through Karenia's mouth, for which he wrote a long letter to Andropov.

In this letter, Yang Weiping clearly pointed out that this kind of economic crisis is not a local short-term crisis in a certain field, but a long-term crisis in the overall situation. Although the Soviet Union claimed to be the "most developed socialist country", the supply of major consumer goods was chronically insufficient. After more than 70 years of construction, the GDP of the Soviet Union is only a little more than $3,000, which is not only behind the developed countries of the West, but also behind some countries in Asia and Latin America. Moreover, because the Soviet Union implemented a policy of controlling consumption and high accumulation, the income of the Soviet Union barely reached about one-third of that of the developed countries in the West. In addition, there is a long-term shortage of major consumer goods, and the supply is insufficient, and it is often necessary to supply by ticket, which hides the danger of the expansion of energy goods. The life of the people fell from the fifth place in Europe before the revolution to the eighty-eighth place in the world in the eighties.

Yang Weiping combined the economic system reform being carried out in China, and cited a series of figures before and after the reform as evidence, reminding Andropov that if the Soviet Union did not reform, under the joint suppression and economic blockade of Western countries, its national economy was likely to collapse completely. Yang Weiping pointed out in particular that although the Soviet Union had developed aerospace, weapons, and biotechnology, it prevented the transformation of science and technology into productive forces due to institutional reasons, and only about 25 percent of the scientific research results were adopted, and the flat transformation cycle was as long as 10~12 years, while 85 percent of the scientific and technological achievements in the United States were transformed into productive forces within five years.

In the field of modern technology, especially in electronic technology, the Soviet Union has lagged behind the developed countries of the West for 15~20 years, and in some fields it cannot even compare with the "little brothers of China". If we do not change this status quo, this gap will inevitably widen.

Before Yang Weiping did not transport technology and precision CNC machine tools to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union's civilian industrial technology can be described as very backward. Audio equipment, video recorders, video cameras and other civilian electronic products could hardly be produced in the Soviet Union. And the civilian products that can be produced are of inferior quality. Yang Weiping pointed out very sharply that the quality level of Soviet industrial products could not even reach 20 percent of the international standard, and they were not competitive in the international market at all. However, due to the lack of competitiveness of industrial products, the Soviet Union could only earn foreign exchange by selling natural resources, especially oil resources, and thus became an exporter of raw materials.

Due to the backwardness of industrial technology and technology, the waste in industrial production is amazing. The rate of labor productivity growth is decreasing. The raw materials consumed per unit of product are 2~3 times that of Western countries, the energy consumption is 1.5 times that of Western countries, and the industrial labor productivity is only a quarter of that of Western countries!

While the Western countries were carrying out the information revolution and carrying out growth with the aim of achieving efficiency, the Soviet Union continued to follow the old path of pursuing products, and all the results of the Soviet Union's painstaking efforts to "catch up with Britain and surpass the United States" in major industrial products were wiped out.

And in agriculture, the Soviet Union was also inefficient and lagged behind Western countries for a long time. Even if the Soviet Union spends 27% of the country's economy (5% in the United States) and 20% of its labor force (3% in the United States) on agriculture, the productivity of agricultural labor is only one-seventh of that of the United States. At the beginning of the eighties, there were as many as 3 million people in the Soviet Union's agricultural management alone, which exceeded the entire agricultural population of the United States. However, the Soviet Union's agriculture failed year after year, and it was forced to spend foreign exchange, which was already a scarce resource, to import grain, which amounted to more than $7 billion a year, and the overall economy was stretched.

At the same time, the scrapping rate of agricultural tractors in the USSR reached 12.5% per year, three times that of the United States. A large number of crops are lost because they cannot be harvested in time, and even if they are harvested, 20% of the grain and 33% of the potatoes are inedible every year due to poor storage. Half of the country's collective farms and state farms are unprofitable every year.

The most serious thing is that since the outbreak of the Middle East oil crisis, the price of crude oil in the international market has plummeted year after year, making the economic recession of the Soviet Union under the cover of oil revenues particularly obvious. After the eighties, world oil prices plummeted by 50 per cent, which was lower than the cost of extracting Soviet oil, making the large number of pipelines that the Soviet Union invested in for oil exports ineffective. If the Soviet Union continued to rely on oil exports to sustain its economy, it would inevitably put the entire national economy in a desperate situation.

Finally, Yang Weiping concluded in the letter that although economic growth and recession are cyclical, the existence of these problems in the Soviet economy fully reflects that the traditional planned economy has lost all its potential. To a large extent, the economic crisis of the Soviet Union was not an economic problem, but a result of the system. If we do not take decisive measures, this crisis in the economic field will inevitably spread to the political field!

Karenia still clearly remembers that after reading this long letter, Chairman Andropov's face was covered with cold sweat, which completely revealed the shock and fear in the heart of the chairman of the KGB.

It was precisely because of Yang Weiping's long letter that Andropov made up his mind in advance to seize power from Brezhne's hands.

In Andropov's eyes, this Chinese man, who is called "the son of God" by Western countries, should really be called the great fortune star of the Soviet Union. (To be continued......)
