Chapter 1074: Great Change
Following the 300 days of continuous safe production at Guhe Station on October 13, Tang Zhenglin has grasped the safety production more tightly, and has made great efforts to take down this year's safety year, and has now achieved 338 days of continuous safety production, and there are still 44 days by the end of this year. Moreover, as soon as the safety year is realized, and then insist on 18 days, you can achieve continuous safe production for 400 days before the Spring Festival in 92 years, which can be said to be happy events one after another, which will encourage the morale of the cadres and workers of the whole station, and play a vital role in doing a good job in next year's work.
Time into October, as several republics of the Soviet Union declared independence one after another, the international situation suddenly became tense, and the high-level paid more attention to the situation in the Soviet Union.
On November 16, the day before the election of the Ninth People's Congress of Songjiang Province, Russian leader Boris Yeltsin announced 10 presidential decrees that took over a range of powers belonging to the central financial sector of the Soviet Union, including the precious metal production sector, deprived the alliance of important financial resources and stopped funding about 80 central ministries. Later, Yeltsin announced that the Central Bank of Russia would take over the National Bank of the Soviet Union and the Bank for Foreign Economic Affairs, seizing the monetary power of the Union.
Entering December, the struggle over the fate of the Soviet Union intensified. Western countries saw that Gorbachev's momentum was gone. The original "dual-track policy" of treating the republic and the central government equally began to gradually transition to a "one-sided" policy of supporting the independence of the republics.
On December 1, 1991, the Republic of Ukraine held a referendum on secession from the Union and the election of a president. If the results of the Ukrainian vote show independence from the Union, the United States will do its best to recognize it. This change in the position of the United States played a large role in the vote in Ukraine. As a result, 99.85 per cent of voters were in favour of independence. Kravchuk, former Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of Ukraine, was elected the first President of Ukraine. In his inaugural speech, Kravchuk made it clear that Ukraine would not participate in the coalition of sovereign states initiated by Gorbachev. The independence of Ukraine, with a population of nearly 52 million and a GDP of 25 percent of the Soviet Union, was a fatal blow to Gorbachev's plans to form a new coalition.
By this time, the countries of the world had understood that the Soviet Union was already torn apart. Began to actively respond to the shock of the post-Soviet space. Due to Xu Lao's early preparations, the response plan was relatively tight, and the operation was smooth after the start. For the country to win the initiative in this international political earthquake, its political status has risen sharply, and its influence has been further strengthened.
On December 8, the leaders of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus met in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, with Gorbachev behind their backs. The communiqué issued by the three parties after the meeting said. The three countries have jointly signed an agreement on the "Commonwealth of Independent States", which consists of three countries. Among the claims. "The Soviet Union, as a subject of international law and a geopolitical reality, no longer exists", and the laws and norms of the Soviet Union are no longer applicable in the three countries. The total population, total area and economic power of these three Slavic states were overwhelmingly dominant in the Union. The decision of the three countries ultimately brought Gorbachev's efforts to conclude a new alliance treaty to naught. After the communiqué of the Minsk meeting was issued, the leaders of the five Central Asian countries of the former Soviet Union -- Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan -- issued a statement on 13 December expressing their willingness to become equal founding states of the Commonwealth of Independent States.
The situation is becoming clearer and clearer, and the collapse of the Soviet Union is a matter of time. On 21 December, the leaders of the 11 republics, in addition to the three Baltic states and Georgia, met in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and declared their readiness to participate in the "Commonwealth of Independent States" as "equal founding States". The Alma-Ata Declaration was issued. It was officially announced that "the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (i.e. the USSR) ceased to exist zài" and informed Gorbachev. Abolition of the creation of the post of President of the USSR.
On December 25, the world will remember this day. At 10 o'clock in the morning, Gorbachev arrived at the presidential palace in the Kremlin and carefully prepared a message to the people to be published in the evening. In the afternoon, Gorbachev had telephone conversations with French President Francois Mitterrand, German Chancellor Kohl, British Prime Minister John Major, and US President George W. Bush. Before announcing his resignation, Gorbachev signed one last presidential decree: resignation from the post of Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. At 19 o'clock in the evening, Gorbachev made a resignation speech to the whole country and the world. As soon as he finished his speech, he solemnly handed over the "nuclear button" (a 1.5-kilogram black briefcase containing the code for launching Soviet nuclear weapons) to the interim commander-in-chief of the "CIS" armed forces, Shaposhnikov, to Russian President Boris Yeltsin.
At 19:38, the Soviet flag with the sickle and axe, familiar to Soviet generations over the Kremlin, landed for the last time in the dark night, and the last page of Soviet history closed.
The next morning, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR held its last meeting and officially announced the cessation of the existence of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the world's financial giants began to plunder frantically in Russia, and with the shorting of the ruble by the Soros Quantum Fund, the last straw that supported the Russian economy collapsed instantly, and the Empire State Building, which the Soviets had been operating for more than 60 years, collapsed, and its economy collapsed like a dam bursting its embankment.
Wang Dahai and his team of Hong Kong financial investment company in accordance with Xiao Yuanhang's plan, keenly seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, hidden behind the quantum fund to cut this huge cake, seeing the geometric increase in speculative returns, Wang Dahai and his traders Zhang Jin, Du Meng and others trembled in their hands, their hearts trembled, and they almost couldn't believe their eyes, where is this making money, it's like robbing money!
Xiao Yuanhang has long considered the problem of transferring money out of Russia if he makes money, and in his previous life, he has seen relevant reports on the "Vantaa Plan" of the United States, which is crazy to plunder Russia's wealth. Vantaa, in collusion with corrupt Russian bureaucrats, plundered up to $27.5 trillion of wealth from Russians after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and it took 16 years to transfer the money from Russia safely, and it was also involved in a shocking lawsuit, almost losing his life, so Xiao Yuanhang thought about the issue of financial security in advance.
For the huge amount of money invested by the world's financial giants in Russia, Xiao Yuanhang's billions of yuan invested can be said to be a drop in the bucket, and his plan is to hide behind the quantum fund, after making a fortune in the early stage of Russia's financial turmoil, take advantage of the chaos to quickly transfer the money out through overseas offshore companies, and it will be too late when the Russian authorities are alert!
