Chapter 624: Betrayal of the Soviet Union (1)

Financial oligarch Soros and the former Federal Reserve "Lord" Si Paul... Volcker, Ann Rudin, vice president of Huā Bank, and Jeffrey Sachs, a Harvard professor, concocted a "shock therapy" that killed Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union in one blow. Soros himself summed up the therapy this way: I consider that it is necessary to show that a change in the political system leads to an improvement in the economy.

Bōlan is one place to try. I have prepared a broad set of economic reform measures, which consist of three components: monetary tightening, restructuring and debt restructuring. I believe that the three goals should be achieved at the same time, and they should be implemented separately. I advocate a macroeconomic debt-versus-share swap.

The readjustment of the industrial structure is equivalent to carrying out a comprehensive operation on the macroeconomic order, but at the same time it is necessary to tighten the money supply, which is equivalent to carrying out major surgery but refusing to give blood transfusions to patients, and the final outcome is, of course, a complete disintegration of the economy, a serious recession in production, a plummeting of people's living standards, the closure of industrial enterprises, the loss of a large number of workers, and the intensification of social unrest.

Gorbachev's economic reforms brought unprecedented chaos, and the Soviet economy was largely "shocked".

The reforms have brought more problems: the power of the capitalists has increased dramatically, to the point where they can compete with the government: the government has become more and more unpopular due to the decline in living standards: corruption is rampant, the black market abounds: all capital and wealth have been transferred to the hands of corrupt officials and capitalists, and the power of the government has been further weakened.

The Great Recession of the Russian economy made Yeltsin angry, and at the first time, he recruited Lin Yu, Danze, Milor and others into the Kremlin.

At the door of the hotel, Lin Yu, who was about to go to the Kremlin, was stopped by a man in civilian clothes, only to hear him say, "Mr. Lin Yu, the director wants me to inform you that everything is safe and you can go with confidence." ”

After speaking, the man turned around and went Lin Yu looked at his back until he disappeared, he naturally knew who the director of the bureau was in his mouth, except for Feika, the director of the security department, no one had such a great ability to ensure his safety in Russia at this time, presumably now Feika was ready, if Yeltsin dared to mess around, he would definitely make him look good.

Coming to the Kremlin, Lin Yu went directly to the president's office, which originally belonged to Gorbachev's territory, but now the owner of this place belongs to Yeltsin.

Yeltsin sneered when he saw Lin Yu coming in, then got up and said, "I believe that Mr. Lin Yu should be very clear about the purpose of my coming to you today!" ”

"Of course," Lin Yu found a seat on the sofa on the side and replied casually.

"What a ploy!" Yeltsin glanced at Dan Ze, who was sitting with Lin Yu with a cold face,

Milor, in a deep voice, "Everything is in your plan, right?" Their relationship with you is definitely more than just a friend or collaborator, right? ”

In response to his questioning, Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, "Now that you know, do you have any other questions?" ”

Yeltsin looked at Lin Yu coldly, and after a while, he returned to the presidential chair and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I didn't expect that in the end, it was cheaper, and you became your accomplice, and I became a sinner in this country." ”

Looking at him like this, Lin Yu pursed his lips disdainfully and said mockingly, "Could it be that your purpose is really just for this country?" Mr. Yeltsin, do you really think that no one knows about your interests for your family? ”

Yeltsin was silent, he did think a lot about his family during this time, as a member of the political elite, it was impossible not to think about himself and blush, but he still argued forcefully, "But compared to you, I will never do so much, I just want a little bit." ”

The ridicule on Lin Yu's face became even more obvious: "Is a little bit different from us?"

If you're on our side, I'm afraid that what we want is not enough at all, right? What's more, are we really doing it absolutely? If it is really necessary, then I will definitely not let the ruble stop at its current level but completely become waste paper, then I am afraid we will get more! ”

Yeltsin's mouth moved, but he couldn't find the words to fight back, seeing him like this, Lin Yu continued: "Mr. Yeltsin, you also need to think about the current situation, do you think that now the Russians will hate you, but have you thought about making amends?" Yeltsin frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "How to make up for it?" ”

"Let the Russian economy recover and improve, even surpassing the Soviet era" Lin Yu looked at Yeltsin and said with a smile, the sΓ¨ color on his face was like a cunning fox, "Think about it, if you can make the Russian economy develop earth-shaking in a few years, enjoy the benefits of material life and spiritual life fulfillment, will the Russians who are both free and democratic, not feel like you?" ”

Yeltsin's face was obviously excited, but he still snorted coldly: "But the current Soviet economy is completely controlled by you, how can it be so easy to recover, not to mention, the current depreciation of the ruble is amazing, many people have lost everything overnight, plus the economic recession, the unemployment rate is extremely high, and now there are a few people working in the factories, what about their source of livelihood?"

How do they spend this cold season? And?"

Yeltsin chattered and complained, and Lin Yu listened attentively, he knew that Yeltsin was trying to hint at him, the current predicament of Russia, as long as he could help him with ideas, then he didn't mind cooperating with him, so, with a hint of amusement in his heart, he listened patiently, and finally, after Yeltsin had nothing else to say, Lin Yu took it and said, "I can assure you that Ziltin will help the former Soviet Union, especially Russia, to restore its economy, even beyond the Soviet Union in the 7s." ”

Yeltsin had a suspicious expression on his face, pouted and said, "Things are not as simple as you think, restore the economy within 5 years, or even surpass the Soviet Union?" The shortcomings of the Soviet Union for decades, the economy has long been riddled with holes, coupled with the current independence of Ukraine and other countries, the depreciation of the ruble, and the change of ownership of state-owned enterprises, it is absolutely impossible to complete the economic transformation within zinc! ”

Nodding in agreement, Lin Yu smiled and said, "Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible, but don't forget, the family behind me and my think tanks, I believe in the potential of Russia, and I also believe in the ability of our family." ”

"Tell me, what are you going to do?" Yeltsin thought about it, weighed the pros and cons, and finally compromised...
