"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that this old socialist empire had finally come to an end." When Ye Ziping spoke, his expression was a little complicated.

For Ye Ziping's generation, the powerful Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was almost an invincible behemoth, and even after the rapid deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations in the sixties, everyone was in awe of the former big brother, the Soviet Union.

This socialist empire straddling the Eurasian continent, the only behemoth that can compete with US imperialism, threatens China's northern border at any time.

Although everyone followed Taizu and scolded them for "Soviet revision" and "American imperialism" as the two major evil axes in the world, in fact, many people knew that before the entire 100s, the living standards of the Soviet people were far better than the situation in our country.

Ye Ziping can't forget the situation at that time, when Taizu shouted the order of "digging deep holes, accumulating grain, and not hegemony", the whole country men, women and children went into battle, wielding pickaxes and hoes to compete under the soles of their feet, not much effort, the north and south of the river, inside and outside the Great Wall, and Shenzhou, just like the Jizhong Plain that fought the little devils back then, the tunnel network was built one after another.

Ye Ziping also pondered this matter in his heart, thinking that we were busy like this back then, and the whole people were nervous about participating in the war, all to prepare for war, in order to prevent those two bastards from throwing atomic bombs at us, but we also have atomic bombs in our family, besides, Taizu and his old man can lead the children of Xiaomi Jiabu to defeat the government army with American-style equipment, which shows how eloquent and majestic it is, how can he be afraid of "US imperialism" and "Soviet repair"? I don't know how many times they were scared to pee at the time.

This time when I arrived in the Soviet Union, I accidentally asked about it, and an official at the reception said, "Are we preparing for war?" Dig air defense? Joke, have you ever heard that the strong fear the weak? ”

The official said proudly, "You should have a good understanding of the strength of the Soviet Union at that time, except for fighting the German fascists, we have not dug even a meter of trench in the city in the past few decades." At that time, it was China that was provoking the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union did not intend to go to war with China at all, even if the two sides went to war, China was not an opponent. As for digging bomb shelters, do you think we need to do that? There is no need for us to prepare for war, and even less to dig bomb shelters. You can walk around and see if there have been any signs of digging here? ”

However, despite this, Ye Ziping also saw his loneliness from the other party's face, this old socialist empire has indeed had a lot of problems, and it is no longer as glorious as yesterday.

Ye Kai sat aside with a smile, listening to his father Ye Ziping tell him about what he had seen today, and at the same time thought of Ye Ziping's photos on the covers of major newspapers in the Soviet Union.

"I kind of understand what you mean...... Ye Ziping said suddenly, "The reform of the Soviet Union has indeed gone very wrong, once the Soviet Union really disintegrates, the entire foundation of socialism will be shaken and questioned, and China's reform cause will definitely be greatly hit." So, do you want me to come here, investigate and summarize the root causes of the failure of the Soviet reforms, and then write a series of things to submit to the Central Committee as theoretical works after returning to China? ”

Ye Kai nodded, "Naturally, this is what it means." But the point is not here, I think we must first understand that the reforms carried out by the Soviets are completely different from our reforms, and why the reforms of the Soviets have made the country poorer and poorer, while the situation in our country is different. ”

"You mean that we are different from them, and we can't question our reform because of our failures, right?" Ye Ziping asked.

"That's pretty much what it means, you're an expert in phrasing, you know." Ye Kai nodded in agreement.

Ye Kai's thinking is very clear, this time, he must not only achieve his own economic goals, but also achieve the political goal of building momentum for his father Ye Ziping.

One month is enough time for Ye Ziping to have an in-depth understanding of the current situation of the Soviet Union and write a series of articles that deeply reflect on Soviet-style reforms, and a summary conclusion after these articles will draw a perfect end to Ye Ziping's article, that is, the inevitability of the collapse of the Soviet Union.

A month later, when Ye Ziping returns to China with these achievements, he will usher in the first strong rise in his career.

"Since some people can take advantage of the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the name of opposing bourgeois liberalization to question the cause of reform and opening up promoted by Comrade Fang He, why can't we use the distinction between Soviet-style reform and domestic reform and unswervingly promote reform and opening up at home? Moreover, this will give Fang and comrades a good reason to attack. Ye Kai didn't say all the words until the point.

This time, the old Ye family made such a big effort, Ye Ziping will clear the theoretical obstacles to the domestic reform cause, and the old man Ye will promote the abolition of the Central Advisory Committee in the center, and invite the "mothers-in-law" who are pressing on Comrade Jiang Cheng's head to leave.

The current situation is very clear, as long as Comrade Jiang Cheng and Comrade Fang He are explained, and then there is the power of the old Ye family to promote, there is no problem at all if you want to put Ye Ziping on the local level and become the feudal official of a large province.

And Ye Kai also clearly knows that the next ten years will be a decade of rapid development of economic construction, and as long as he accumulates enough political achievements during the two terms, Ye Ziping's entry into the normal will be irresistible.

Even ten years later, Ye Ziping is only fifty years old.

And today's goal, Ye Kai has already set for Ye Ziping, that is, a member of the Central Political Bureau and secretary of the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee.

Of course, it is a bit difficult to win this position, but Ye Kai knows very well that after Comrade Fang and Comrade Fang have coordinated the relationship between all aspects, it is already an irresistible thing, so Comrade Hong Zheng, who is currently the secretary of the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee, will undoubtedly enter the State Council as vice premier.

The position of secretary of the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee, rather than cheapening others, is better to put it in his father's pocket.

As another key project built by the state after the Southern Special Economic Zone, the probability of making political achievements in Mingzhu City has reached almost 100 percent.
