Chapter 81: The Chinese Are Coming

The streets of Moscow in March are a little lively.

When Ye Kai got up, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning local time.

With a sound of "brushing the ......", Ye Kai opened the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the sunlight suddenly passed through the tall and bright windows and shone on the royal style bed in the Tsarist era.

Zhong Liyu squinted and lay prone on the big bed, the velvet quilt was casually placed on the smooth bare back, her limbs were exposed, and her long hair covered part of her body, adding a lot of charm.

Xu was stabbed in the eyes by the sun, Zhong Liyu pulled the quilt and covered her face, so that her bare back was more exposed, and there were many light red traces on it, which was the "strawberry" that was planted by Ye Kai last night.

"Do all beautiful women like to snooze?" Ye Kai walked over and lifted the quilt, and Zhong Liyu's perfect figure was immediately completely exposed to the air.

"Yikes!" Zhong Liyu screamed in some surprise, rolled over on the bed, wrapped the thick sheet around his body, and said with some dissatisfaction, "I was tossed by you last night, can't I sleep a little longer?" ”

"Miss Zhongli, we came to Moscow to make money, not to sleep." Ye Kai said seriously.

"It's not sleeping, so who was going to be last night...... ......," Zhong Liyu retorted indignantly.

"It's important to sleep, and it's important to exercise in the morning." Ye Kai was in a good mood at this time, so he hugged Zhong Liyu from behind, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, pressed her on the windowsill, and was about to enter from behind.

"Ah...... How can it be like this...... "Although Zhong Liyu is a highly knowledgeable female doctoral student, she has never imagined that she will be in a foreign country, pressed by the window, in this exposed cold air, and become a good thing.

Condescending, but there is no need to worry about the spring light, but when Zhong Liyu's misty eyes looked down, she found that there were people coming and going on the street below, and this strange stimulation made her soon full of spring, and the tartar that could not bear the leaves opened, and it softened into a puddle of mud in less than a quarter of an hour.

The two of them lay back in the big bed, Zhong Liyu leaned tightly in Ye Kai's arms, a little lazy and weak, but one hand restlessly on Ye Kai's body, drawing small circles, and occasionally naughtily grabbing Ye Kai's bird to tease it.

However, Ye Kai's body reaction was obviously a little sensitive, and the little bird jumped up and bounced on the back of Zhong Liyu's hand, startling her.

"Miss Zhongli, do you want to fight another three hundred rounds?" Ye Kai said with a smile.

"Is it impossible for you men to live without this in their minds at any time?" Zhong Liyu said with a sneer.

"Hehe, that's normal." Ye Kai suddenly remembered something, so he said to her, "When a man does things and mixes officialdom, he should be like his own little bird." ”

"How?" Zhong Liyu asked with some interest, she knew that Ye Kai would always have some strange things in his mouth.

"First of all, it never flaunts itself. Secondly, you must be able to hold up the scene when it is critical. Third, be good at attacking the other party, but not arouse the other party's resistance. Fourth, although it is constantly creating friction, it can make everyone feel happy. Fifth, after victory, they will shrink up and will not be hated. Ye Kai said with a grin.

"This statement, it's really ......" Zhong Liyu listened to it full of black lines, but after thinking about it carefully, she was a little admired, and she didn't know which lewd person came up with the statement, which was actually a little crooked.

"The most important point......" Ye Kai rubbed Zhong Liyu's plump buttocks with his hand, feeling her youthful elasticity, and said with some emotion, "It also needs to be able to cultivate excellent successors!" ”

For this last point, Ye Kai felt very deeply, in the domestic officialdom, everyone attaches great importance to the issue of cultivating successors, but there are also the most mistakes in this matter.

Without him, because most officials are seriously selfish in the issue of cultivating successors, only considering their own interests and cronyism, without considering whether the successors have the strength to pick up the burden?

In this way, the quality of officials above the officialdom can be said to be weasel cubs, and a litter is not as good as a litter.

The two got tired of being in bed for a while, and then got up to have lunch, and Ye Kai proposed to go out for a walk.

The Moscow city government also provided a tour guide and sent a young girl to provide services to Ye Kai and them.

Fortunately, both parties communicate in English, and there are no barriers.

Ye Kai did not accept the suggestion of the girl named Natasha to visit the historical places of Moscow, but chose to wander the streets, he wanted to see with his own eyes what life was like for ordinary Soviet people.

Natasha hesitated, but didn't object.

The main road was slightly better, and further out, there were more problems, full of Soviets holding signs, some looking like older retired workers, others emotional young people.

It's just that Natasha said that those people were dissidents and didn't mention anything else, and Ye Kai and Zhong Liyu can be said to know nothing about Russian, and it is not clear whether what Natasha said is true.

However, Ye Kai found that some of the signs, in addition to Russian, were also painted with patterns of bread and knives and forks, thinking that no matter what, it was impossible to have anything to do with dissidents, could it be that the Soviet Union had another "people's canteen party"?

In fact, in 1991, the domestic situation in the USSR was increasingly moving in a direction that was not in Gorbachev's favor.

The crisis first began in Lithuania, where the opposition won the elections to the Supreme Soviet of Lithuania in March 1990, followed by Lithuania's declaration of secession from the Soviet Union. However, the situation was further destabilized by major mistakes made by the Lithuanian government on domestic issues, in particular by sharply raising food prices, which led to mass protests.

In January 1991, Soviet troops marched into Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, on the orders of Soviet Defense Minister Yazov and KGB Chairman Kryuchkov, but this incident became a pretext for the opposition to attack Gorbachev and his cronies, and the democratic opposition staged mass demonstrations and called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations.

Eventually, Gorbachev relented, and Lithuania held a referendum to secede from the Soviet Union.

The Baltic countries and Ukraine have successively taken Soviet enterprises under their ownership, Georgia and Moldova are no longer subordinate to Moscow's leadership, Kazakhstan has implemented a blockade policy on grain exports, and Ukraine has stopped allocating funds to economic projects of the Union. There were even proposals for the establishment of the Yenisei Republic, the Siberian Republic, and the Far Eastern Republic.

Soviet support for Gorbachev fell from 60 percent in early 1990 to 10 percent in early 1991, the strike movement in the country was growing, and the Russian democrats, represented by Yeltsin, received more and more support, and under the instigation of the democrats, there were demonstrations against Gorbachev and the CPSU with 100,000 people in Moscow on February 4, 1991, and more than 150,000 demonstrators elsewhere.

Some Russian newspapers have published Western caricatures on their pages: the Soviet Union's large department stores have nothing but a diminutive Gorbachev on a shelf near the corner, holding a placard with the words "perestroika" written on it.

Ye Kai and Zhong Liyu walked on the street, although they didn't understand the language, they could also feel the spring in Moscow, which had not yet arrived.

"Look there, it's Minister Ye's news." Zhong Liyu suddenly pointed to a newspaper on the newsstand on the side of the road and said.

Ye Kai looked over and saw a large portrait of Ye Ziping on the cover of a Russian-language newspaper, and there was a line of large black characters next to it, which was eye-catching.

"The Chinese are coming!" Natasha explained to Ye Kai the meaning of the words.
