CHAPTER XXXI
Fee Chapter (24 points)
After eating, everyone didn't want to leave, blowing a gust of breeze, admiring the antique courtyard, and holding a cup of tea in their hands. At the end of August, the weather in the capital was much brighter, and although it was hot and dry at noon, the yard was full of green trees and did not feel hot.
"What time is the plane in the south." Liang Zi took a sip of tea and asked.
"It's more than two o'clock."
The grandmother of the Liang family said that she was leaving, study hard, hurry up, and don't let the family worry about it. ”
"Well, me." The old man Fang Monan was saying every word that his mother said, and after the meal, his mother began to be silent, and the reluctance in her eyes could be seen by everyone. Soon, when Mo Bei and Aunt Xiao got used to her, she would guard them.
Mom was silent, holding the teacup to block the tears that were about to fall.
Liang Zi looked at his watch, "You don't plan to see Ye Laosi." She didn't let him inform anyone that she was going to the capital.
"I'll leave this to you, and he'll do it after reading it." Fang Monan took out the file bag, and she wrote it thickly, and after Fourth Brother Ye read it, it was worth it, and it should be done.
Liang Zi sent Fang Monan on the plane, but her mother didn't go, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to control it. The first time the three of them walked together, she didn't feel it yet. After experiencing them no longer for half a year, the life of missing the three of them is so difficult.
When Ye Laosi got the news, Fang Monan's plane had already flown away, and he hurried to the courtyard, where Liang Zi was waiting for him.
Liang Zi looked at him sweating profusely and panting, "Nannan gave it to you here." He put it on the table, "Don't think of her so badly, besides, on your land, we don't dare to play with you if you borrow a few guts." ”
"Okay, you take your time." Liang Zi got up and passed by him, closed the door gently, and got along with him for two months.
Ye Laosi sat down, wiped his sweat, and poured two sips of tea. Opened Liang Zi and handed him a brown paper bag, tore the opening, and pulled out a stack of paper from it that read 'Your Chance'. Ye Laosi's eyes widened as he watched. Mainly about the economic, political, military, national, etc. of the USSR:
As a result of the highly centralized planned economy practiced for a long time, all the Soviet Union's five-year plans except for the first two five-year plans were not truly completed, and the rate of economic development declined rapidly in the post-war decades, and the gap between the Soviet Union and the developed countries of the world also widened. Since the mid-70s of the 20th century, the Soviet Union has entered the predicament of a long-term economic recession, and the traditional extensive economy can no longer be sustained. It should be pointed out that this kind of economic crisis is not a local short-term crisis in a certain field, but a long-term crisis of an overall nature.
Although the Soviet Union claimed to be the "most developed socialist country", the supply of major consumer goods was chronically insufficient. After more than 70 years of construction, the per capita GNP of the Soviet Union in 1985 was 3,396 US dollars, lagging behind not only the developed countries of the West, but also some countries in Asia and Latin America. The per capita income of the Soviet Union was about one-third of that of Western countries, but due to the Soviet Union's policy of controlling consumption and high accumulation, the living standards of the Soviets were even more different from those of the West. In 1985, the per capita housing area was only 15 square meters, which was 50 in Western countries; The number of cars per 100 households is 14, which is only 17.50 in Western countries. Major consumer goods are chronically in short supply and often need to be supplied by ticket. The people's living standards fell from the fifth place in Europe to the eighty-eighth place in the world in the eighties.
Although the Soviet Union has developed astronautics, weapons and biotechnology, only 25~30 scientific research results have been adopted, and the average transformation cycle takes 10~12 years, while the United States has 85 scientific research achievements that are transformed into productive forces within 5 years. In the field of modern technology, the USSR lagged behind the developed countries of the West by 15~20 years, and the gap is getting wider and wider.
Soviet civilian industrial products were very technologically backward and of inferior quality, and even according to the most optimistic estimates, only 18 of Soviet industrial products met international standards and were not at all competitive in the international market. Due to the lack of competitiveness of industrial products, the Soviet Union had to earn foreign exchange by selling natural resources, especially oil resources, and became an exporter of raw materials.
Soviet agriculture was backward and inefficient for a long time. Due to successive agricultural failures, the Soviet Union was forced to spend foreign exchange, which was already a scarce resource, to import grain, spending more than $7 billion a year, and was financially stretched. At the same time, the scrapping rate of agricultural tractors in the Soviet Union reached 12.5 per year, three times that of the United States; a large number of crops were lost because they could not be harvested in time, and even if they were harvested, 20 percent of grain and 33 percent of potatoes were spoiled and spoiled every year because of poor storage, and they were inedible. In 1980, half of the country's collective farms and state farms were not profitable.
The Soviet Union was economically backward, materially scarce, and its people's living standards could not be improved for a long time, and the gap between the Soviet Union and the West was widening day by day. Fundamentally shake the people's superiority over socialism. Among the leaders of the Soviet Union, Andropov was a rare man of understanding, who made an astonishing remark at an internal meeting of the CPSU: "The main danger of the Soviet Union does not come from world imperialism, but from the misery and poverty of the people."
The excessively centralized system of political power put the CPSU, as the core of the leadership of the Union, in a political state completely lacking a supervisory mechanism. The CPSU's system of appointing cadres and holding posts for life has created a good environment for the formation of vested interest groups. The bureaucracy is overcrowded and overcrowded; Vested interest groups embezzled and took bribes, became arrogant and extravagant, and the CPSU gradually lost its prestige among the masses. In particular, during the Brezhnev era, the Soviet leaders were rigid in their thinking and conformist, which delayed the opportunity for development and reform, and domestic problems piled up. After entering the 80s, the political crisis of the Soviet Union was inevitably revealed: in just three years, the three supreme leaders died one after another, and the rule of the sick man deprived the Soviet Union of the precious development opportunity of the first five years of the 80s.
The "socialism" of the Stalinist model did not bring a satisfactory life to the Soviet people, which led to resistance, disgust and indifference to the traditional model. This sentiment is especially strong when the affluent life of the upper classes contrasts with the lives of ordinary people, and it forms a question about the legitimacy of the rule of the CPSU.
Tsarist Russia was founded by aggression and expansion, which made the Soviet Union the country with the largest number of nationalities in the world, and its national development was extremely uneven, many nationalities were still in the tribal stage, and the national question was very acute for a long time. Both Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union pursued a high-pressure policy of oppression and assimilation against ethnic minorities.
In the 70s of the 20 th century, out of the need to compete with the United States for world hegemony, the Soviet Union engaged in an irrational arms race, resulting in military expenditures reaching one-quarter of its national income and carrying a heavy burden. At the same time, the Soviet Union stretched out its hand everywhere to prop up pro-Soviet regimes and guerrillas and plot a military coup, which aroused widespread resentment in the international community. In 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and immediately fell into the quagmire of guerrilla warfare, which not only caused a long-term "bleeding wound" to the Soviet Union, which cost billions of rubles every year, but also greatly damaged the international image of the Soviet Union.
After Ronald Reagan came to power in 1981, he changed the original US contraction strategy, countered the expansion of the Soviet Union with a tough attitude everywhere, and announced that he would conduct research on the "Star Wars" program, setting off a new round of arms race**. At this time, the Soviet Union, which was in a difficult situation at home and abroad, could no longer cope with it and was forced to carry out a comprehensive contraction.
At the end, there is a sarcastic joke that the Soviet Union is a train that cannot continue because the tracks have reached the end. Every leader has handled this crisis in a way that has done so; Stalin ordered the driver and conductor to be shot; Khrushchev rehabilitated them; Brezhnev closed the curtains and ordered the train to be rocked from side to side, creating the illusion that the train was running; Gorbachev pulled back the curtains, leaned out of the window and shouted that there were no more railroad tracks ahead, no rails ahead"
Ye Laosi looked at it again and again, and then looked carefully, at this time it was already sunset, and the room was dark. I think it's completely impossible, although the Soviet Union broke off diplomatic relations, but the fathers in the family still have deep feelings for Big Brother, it's simply impossible, but the data is careful, it can't be made up, and besides, she doesn't need this to fool him, it's not a joke.
He just wants to make some money, and there is no need to rise to the international level
"This ...... This...... You'll have to talk to someone. Ye Laosi called He Junyao, and during the waiting period, he read the stack of materials word by word. With his hands on the circle chair, his fingers tapping gently on the armrests with rhythm, he fell into deep thought.
When He Junyao arrived, it was already early on, and after he pushed the door in, there was only one figure sitting on the circle chair inside. "You kid will enjoy it, looking for such a good place." Seeing that he didn't say anything, "Are you weird?" Packed deep. He found the switch and turned the light on.
Ye Laosi suddenly didn't adapt to the light, blocked it with his hand, squinted his eyes and said Boss, you are here. ”
"I'll show you some information, but you have to be prepared." Ye Laosi said mysteriously.
He Junyao took it, and sneered at you, kid is a ...... me" The voice was suddenly stuck. He took a quick look at it. Looking at Ye Laosi, "It's impossible" He Junyao didn't say. "The Soviet Union's external data is not what it looks like."
"Impossible, isn't our country also whitewashed and peaceful" Ye Laosi pouted, although he felt uncomfortable, but this was the truth.
"Hey, you dare to say it with this mouth." He Junyao thumped him in the chest. "What do you want?"
"Where did you come from, if the data in this is true, it should be top secret." He Junyao frowned and asked seriously.
"I don't, someone else gave it, a child handed it to me and ran away." Ye Laosi lied without blushing and heartbeat, because the last page was annotated that it was not allowed to tell anyone that it was written by Fang Monan, and the excuse is that you can find it casually, Fourth Brother Ye. rushed to others and called him Fourth Brother Ye, whether it was true or not, he had to be righteous and angry, and he couldn't betray her.
"You think I will." He Junyao raised his eyebrows and asked. "Don't say it."
"This? I want to confirm whether the data inside is real. Ye Lao Si said, "Grandpa He has a wide range of connections, and he has his subordinates in the security intelligence system, so check it." ”
"What if it turns out to be true?" He Junyao asked.
Ye Laosi smiled, "Then you will be rich, you are also our country, there is no shortage of what they need." I want to think that when Lao Maozi broke off diplomatic relations, he not only withdrew the experts, but also repaid the debts. I heard that at that time, when agricultural products were used to pay off debts, eggs, potatoes, and apples had to be sieveed, and they were not needed for large or small products. Pork has to be stuck in fat, fat or thin, as long as it is just right. ”
"Don't be too happy, you guy. The authenticity of the data must be confirmed first. He Junyao said rationally.
"Of course, if it doesn't work, I'll go to the Soviet Union and have a look." Ye Laosi was infected by the wonderful situation depicted in his heart.
"Don't forget, the relationship between the two countries is still frozen now, and if you go, you won't be afraid of being treated as a spy." He Junyao poured a basin of cold water on him, "You give me honesty, let me confirm it first, and then think about it in the long run." ”
"And where did you get the capital, just the three walnuts and two dates in your hand are not enough to stuff your teeth." He Junyao poured another basin of cold water.
"Is this ...... There's always a way. Ye Laosi said, go and ask Liang Zi again. But boss, you'd better confirm it for me first."
"Then let's go," Ye Laosi said, and the two jumped into the military vehicle and rushed towards He Junyao's house.
After a few turns, the military vehicle finally entered a quiet alley with rows of courtyard houses on both sides. If it weren't for the guards standing upright at the door, they would have thought they had come to an antique tourist spot. The He family is also a courtyard house, with a deep courtyard, and the night in early autumn is a little cool. After they got out of the car, they hurriedly walked in.
The lights in the house were still on, and the old man He sat in the middle of the room with a horizontal knife, and when he saw his grandson coming in, he couldn't help but feel pantothenic acid in his heart, and he always felt sorry for this child.
As soon as I saw Ye Laosi, who was like a monkey behind him, he came with kindness, but he didn't come for some days. Although his tone was kind, the old man had been in a high position for a long time, and his power was quite deep, and Ye Laosi sat on his right hand like a bell, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.
"Grandpa. It's so late and I haven't rested. He Junyao asked with a serious face, "Where's grandma?" ”
"Your grandmother rested first," Old Man He said.
Old Man He looked at his coffin face, and he couldn't get angry, "Hey, don't put this dead face on me, I get angry when I see it." He was furious, especially when he saw his grandson's poker face, his heart ached, how good a young man he used to be, and the past was unbearable.
"Grandpa He, we have something to do with you." Ye Laosi hurriedly said.
"Something" Old Man He raised his eyebrows and teased, "Did you poke the basket again and didn't dare to go home, and came to find help." ”
"Grandpa He, is Si'er a troublemaker in your eyes, and you have to move rescuers if something happens." Ye Laosi said dissatisfied.
Isn't it? Tell me about someone your age....... ”
He Junyao looked at his grandfather and began to speak at length, "Grandpa, I have a document here that I need your help to confirm." He handed it to Mr. He, and helped find reading glasses to put on.
Old Man He turned it very slowly, frowned, and looked at it for a long time. The room was silent, only the sound of the 'tick-tock' clock, and He Junyao quietly went out and served two bowls of noodles. A bowl was handed to Ye Laosi, and when he was called out by Ye Laosi, he didn't eat dinner.
"Where did you come from?" Old Man He took off his reading glasses, his face was serious, and he looked at the two juniors with sharp eyes.
"Grandpa, you don't care where you came from, you can confirm the authenticity for me first, especially about economic data." He Junyao said unhurriedly, and did not forget to finish the soup in the bowl.
Ye Laosi gave a thumbs up in his heart, 'Cow', only the boss dared to talk in front of those old men, and the others saw it, just like a mouse seeing a cat, and they didn't dare to breathe.
"We'll have to wait for the data, but there's a guy who's just from the Soviet Union and can ask him." Old man He said, and hit it himself.
About twenty minutes later, a sudden brake sounded outside the gate, and a man in his thirties ran in from outside, saluting Old Man He, "Good chief"
"Let's sit down," said Old Man He.
He Junyao and Ye Laosi also knew each other, and the two sides stood up to greet each other, and then sat down together.
"Xiao Wu, I called you so late, please tell me what you have seen and felt about life in the Soviet Union." Although Old Man He is very kind, in the eyes of the person opposite, he is still so strong.
Xiao Wu was very surprised, the old man called him so late to listen to his life. He Junyao and Ye Zhenhua, who were listening, stared at him with shining eyes. Taking a deep breath, he slowly spoke about what he had seen and heard in the Soviet Union this year.
After finishing speaking, Old Man He asked his grandson to send him out.
Ye Laosi excitedly congratulated Grandpa, it seems that sixty percent of this information is true, the ratio of the dollar to the ruble on the black market is 1..15, and the official ratio is 1..0.9. ”
"A little bit, our country's foreign exchange control is strict." Old Man He warned with a glaring of eyes.
"Hehe......" Ye Laosi looked at the old man with a sneer and covered his mouth.
"You monkey." Old man He was deeply touched, he also went to the Soviet Union when he was young, "Alas, big brother...... I can't imagine ...... such a development. ”
"Grandpa, now is not the time to sigh, judging from the information, there is also Xiao Wu's personal contact just now. Since the death of Comrade Chernenko, Gorbachev took over. The political situation in the Soviet Union has begun to highlight contradictions and problems. The reform of corporate autonomy that began in the Chernenko era. By now, the tide of opposition has intensified. You. The Soviet Union focused on heavy industry and the military industry. Daily necessities are scarce. Food is also in short supply. Here's our chance. He Junyao said seriously.
Even though Mr. He didn't work in the economic trunk line, he still knew something about this. In this way, as long as someone can operate it well, you can definitely make huge profits from it. Rely on daily necessities, in-demand supplies, food and other products. Taking advantage of the increasingly chaotic situation in the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union was exchanged for advanced heavy industrial equipment, such as machine tools, advanced stamping presses, and advanced military scientific research materials and weapons. Scientific research materials and data on aircraft carriers, fighter planes, missiles, and other equipment.
Old man He saw it more far-reaching, "If the Soviet Union continues to develop like this, then its control over Warsaw will also be weakened, that is to say, its Eastern European partners, Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania will also have a bad future. It seems that the reconnaissance over there must be strengthened, and the Yankees must not be allowed to hold their guns at the door of their homes. After saying this, he sighed again, alas, these things are still difficult to do without money."
Can't say it if you're a junior? At this time, it is not easy to make statements, and whether the country is good or not, they can't be clearer.
"That's it, wait for my news." Old Man He finally spoke, holding a stack of papers, he felt heavy.
Ye Laosi was also in a hurry, so he had to go home obediently.
When only He Junyao and his grandchildren were left in the living room, the old man pointed to the pile of materials and asked Do you see the person who wrote the information. ”
He Junyao took the information, rubbed his chin, thought about it and looked at the words, the pen is vigorous, the font is steady and powerful, he is an open-minded person, the font from the beginning and the end is always unhurried, there is little difference, it is written by a steady person, not mixed with personal emotions, and the content is objective. And he is very familiar with the economy, and everything else is generalized. The language is short and clean, as if it is making a summary, there is no malice towards us, and it should not be a trap. The age must be in his thirties, otherwise he would not be able to practice this good handwriting, and the words are written with his left hand. ”
Old Man He smiled and looked at his grandson who was talking eloquently in front of him, "Oh, then do you say it's a man or." ”
This sentence choked He Junyao half to death, looked at the information again, and really couldn't see the euphemism of the font, saying that the man wrote it, but some details were noted one by one, the man was not so careful, and admitted, "Grandpa, forgive me for being clumsy, I really didn't see men and women." ”
Old Man He looked at his embarrassed grandson for a long time, and finally saw him embarrassed, and his face changed. "It should be written."
"Huh?" He Junyao had a calm face, raised his eyebrows and waited for the old man's high view.
"On the paper, there is a faint fragrance, not the fragrance of pen and ink, nor is it not inherent on the paper, but the hand pressed on the paper when writing and brought it up." Old Man He said.
He Junyao picked up the information, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it carefully, it was very light and light, if he didn't smell it carefully, he would think it was the fragrance of pen and ink.
"Boy, you have to learn slowly." Old Man He was so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits, looking at his grandson who was hit. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to () subscribe, reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
