"General Cupiev, this person is a bit more sloppy, in fact, he is a soldier who is about the same time as my father-in-law, and no one thought that he would be able to become a general one day, while my father-in-law only has the rank of lieutenant general. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info" Major Bute said to Ye Kai.

After negotiating the business, General Cupiev quietly left.

His identity is more sensitive, and it is impossible to stay at the base for a long time, and the rest of the matter is naturally handled by his cronies, and the intermediary is Major Bute, who is also a more reassuring collaborator.

In the previous cooperation, mutual trust has been established between Admiral Cupiev and Major Bute, and although the amount involved in this voice is not very large, it involves sensitive equipment such as nuclear submarines, so you must be careful.

The most critical problem is that the nuclear submarines involved this time have all been scrapped by Cupyev, and there is no need to hand over a penny to the military, and the 15 million US dollars can all fall into his pocket.

In addition to giving a little to the people who do the work, General Cupiev has to swallow at least more than 10 million dollars, and with the benefits he has received in the past transactions, he is now considered a rich man with assets of more than 20 million dollars.

In fact, it can't be said how greedy they are, although they used to use the status of senior military generals to make a lot of profits, but with the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, some things that do not exist in kind have disappeared, so the old man feels that his life is embarrassing, and the president is not interested in him, so General Cupiev has to find another way, at least after he retires, he has something to rely on.

Major Bute was introduced to General Cupbiev by his father-in-law, General Zyuanov, and the two hit it off and did a few business, which was very good, so there was a big business this time.

You must know that the last suitcase-type nuclear bomb was actually made by General Cupyev.

"Is he a coward?" Ye Kai asked with some curiosity.

"yes. When he was training as a junior officer, General Cupiev was a submissive one. There is nothing outstanding about it. is often teased, but such a character is actually prosperous. Five years ago, he hung up the rank of general. He even got the Marshal Star Badge, which is really incredible. Major Bout had apparently also heard his father-in-law, General Zyuanov, talk about it, so it was clearer, "When the appointment was made, all the relatives of Cupiev were stunned, and they did not expect that a man with a nest of money would become a Soviet general. ”

"That's supposed to be an illusion of what you see on the outside." When Ye Kai heard this, he laughed, "I remember." Your original leader, Comrade Leonid Brezhnev, seems to be such a person, didn't he also become the general secretary of the CPSU in the end? ”

In a party-state like the former Soviet Union, all other positions were floating clouds, and only the post of general secretary was the highest power.

Speaking of the former Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, this is also a strange flower.

Although Brezhnev participated in the Great Patriotic War and received the rank of major general, he was actually engaged in political work, and after the war he became secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, and was deeply appreciated by Stalin.

In the Central Committee of the CPSU at that time, Brezhnev was recognized as a weaker person who posed no threat to anyone. He himself has repeatedly "modestly" stated that he does not have the talent of a leader, let alone such ambition. Therefore, in the dangerous power field, he has avoided countless disasters.

In October 1964, Suslov, secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, and the head of the KGB, Sherepin, conspired to oust Khrushchev from power. At that time, someone asked Brezhnev to call Khrushchev, who was on vacation, and he was so frightened that he almost fainted, and was later forcibly pulled to the telephone.

When he heard that Khrushchev had learned of the coup, he threw himself into the arms of his friend and said in horror, "It's all over, Khrushchev will shoot us all." ”

After Khrushchev stepped down, Suslov and Sherepin reached a stalemate in the struggle for the throne, and in order to avoid losing both, they had no choice but to elect Brezhnev as the supreme leader of the Soviet Union at the plenary session of the CPSU Central Committee, and later concurrently served as chairman of the Russian Federation Bureau of the CPSU Central Committee and chairman of the Constitutional Committee of the USSR.

At the time, in the eyes of many, he was nothing more than a transitional figure.

Whenever the Politburo met to discuss major issues, many of his proposals were often vetoed, and he himself was repeatedly criticized by other members.

For the sake of his "prestige", Brezhnev even did not hesitate to beg his colleagues, saying, "The leader needs prestige, you can help!" He also asked his colleagues to take the lead in standing up and applauding when he spoke at a mass meeting to get the crowd to applaud.

However, it was this seemingly mediocre Brezhnev who quietly cut off the party henchmen of Sheleping within a few years and firmly sat on the post of general secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU.

In the first few years of Brezhnev's coming to power, he placed more emphasis on collective leadership, and the core of leadership was relatively stable. From the 70s onwards, he gradually promoted the people he trusted and set up a team of private secretaries composed of "assistant general secretaries", who often intervened in government affairs and diplomatic work.

In 1971, he participated in the Council of Ministers of the USSR to discuss the indicators of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, which he personally signed and promulgated for a break with precedent. His name, photographs, and quotations filled the Soviet press. According to statistics, after 1971, his name appeared more often in the press than Lenin.

At this time, he had changed his past practice of participating in major events with Kosygin and Podgorny, and watched the "Dvina" military exercises held by the Soviet army alone, inspected the troops conducting the exercises, and made a concluding speech, so as to expand his influence in the army.

In 1976, on Brezhnev's 70th birthday, he was appointed chairman of the Soviet Defense Council with the rank of Marshal of the Soviet Union, having never commanded a campaign.

On that day, Brezhnev, dressed in a marshal's uniform, pointed to his marshal's epaulettes, and said cheerfully to his relatives and friends who were waiting for congratulations, "Guys, look, I have survived this day!" ”

Brezhnev's words are meaningful, and before that, he thwarted the ambitious Sherepin, crowded out Podgorny, who challenged him, overthrew Kosygin, and received the high honor of "Marshal of the Soviet Union".

After 12 years of "collective leadership," he finally monopolized the party, government, and military power, and was finally able to throw off his arms and do a big job.

In June 1977, he also served as Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, and the collective leadership, which had been in name only, was finally dissolved. At this point, Brezhnev finally became the supreme head of the Soviet party, government and army.

"Comrade Brezhnev, he is still very talented...... Major Bout nodded, "at least during his reign, the Soviet Union's national power reached its peak. ”

From now on, Brezhnev should be a really smart man, a wise man.

Brezhnev had at least two things that left others in the dust, the most jokes about him, and the best reputation for him.

However, during the Brezhnev administration, the biggest reason for the economic development of the Soviet Union was the discovery of the Tyumen oil field, which at that time exceeded 40% of the world's oil reserves.

Thanks to the development of the Tyumen oil fields, the USSR received a large amount of foreign exchange and was able to import all the necessities of life.

It was precisely because of the excessive dependence on oil exports that the demise of the Soviet Union was actually planted on oil exports.

Because of the cooperation of Western countries, international oil prices plummeted, which made the economy of the Soviet Union even worse, and finally collapsed.

Now, in addition to obtaining nuclear submarines from the former Soviet Union, Ye Kai also wants to seek market share in his domestic oil and other energy industries.

"I believe that Comrade General Cupiev should be able to help us in many ways." Ye Kai said to Major Bout, and then he expressed his interest in oil and energy.

Major Bout was not very interested in this, he was more adventurous, and the eventual demise of the Soviet Union because of the oil problem also made the people of the former Soviet Union wary of the oil industry, which also led to the complete privatization of the oil industry, which is overkill to sum up in an idiom.

"He should be able to make a difference, as long as he is given enough chips." Major Bute said to Ye Kai, "My father-in-law, General Jiuanov, can also help somewhat. ”

Ye Kai nodded, as the president's national security adviser, Jiuanov should also have a certain say in this regard, especially for the state-owned enterprises below.

In fact, Ye Kai is not worried much about the acquisition, because under the leadership of the Americans, Russia is comprehensively promoting privatization, and the oil industry is also the most important part of it, he has no reason to worry about this, but in order to reduce trouble, it is also necessary to get the support of favorable figures in the military and government.

After resting in the military base for a night, early the next morning, Ye Kai, accompanied by the person in charge of the base, inspected and accepted the nuclear submarines he was going to receive.

"All the scrap that has been dismantled can be entrusted to cargo ships to pull away, but these complete nuclear submarines must be driven out of secret waterways, and then our people are responsible for sending them to a hundred nautical miles away, and then your people will receive them." The person in charge of the base said, "Of course, the training of relevant personnel can start today. ”

"Good." Ye Kai nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "Then let's go and see our ship first!" ”

"As you wish." The person in charge of the base nodded.

"This is my ship?! This sucks, right?! Half an hour later, someone let out an earth-shattering roar.
