"Thinking about it this way, Ge Shi is really an unlucky bastard, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the country that has reached his hands is already full of holes, and there is no way to return to heaven. At all times, the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Ye Laosi took a sip of tea.

"The CPSU is the only party that got rich at its own funeral." He Junyao narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

"Poof......" Ye Laosi said with a smile, "It's really incisive to think about." Privilege and corruption made the CPSU gradually lose popularity. If you turn your back on the people, you will be spurned by the people. ”

Ye Laosi played with the small porcelain cup as white as snow in his hand, leaned back against the sofa, and said lightly, "From 1922 to this year, the Soviet Union has existed for a full 70 years in human history. In the past 70 years, from Lenin to Gorbachev, the corruption of the cadre group has always been like a bone gangrene, and the entire 70-year history of corruption in the Soviet Union has been a history. ”

"Lenin's era: guard against cadre privileges, but privileges have been overflowing. Although the restrictions on cadres in terms of wages are very strict, corruption outside of cadres' salaries has long been rampant. And the Stalin era: the blatant institutionalization and legalization of the corruption of the privileges of cadres. The supreme leader took the lead in degeneration, giving "money bags" to high-ranking cadres and bribes, and the entire cadre group was pervasive with privilege and corruption. The leading cadres live in a paradise; The living conditions of the common people were worse than in the tsarist era. Khrushchev era: The first attack on the corrupt system of cadre privileges ended in the fact that these bureaucrats, who had lost their privileges, were determined to get rid of Khrushchev and became Brezhnev's "political allies". The Brezhnev era: the happiest golden period for the corrupt cadres of the CPSU, Brezhnev's rise to power was very thanks to the support of the cadres who "lost their corrupt privileges at the hands of Khrushchev"; In return, Brezhnev created an excellent environment for corruption for these cadres unprecedented in the history of the CPSU.

Not only did it restore all the cadre privileges that Khrushchev had revoked, but it also added new privileges. The same as Stalin. Brezhnev was also always at the forefront of corruption. Throughout the Brezhnev era, "many secretaries of the CPSU, secretaries of the state party committees, secretaries of the regional party committees, members of the Central Committee were involved in dirty business." "There have been numerous cases of collusion, abuse of power, and corruption and bribery among senior leaders. With the exception of a few cases, most cases of corruption were not revealed until after Brooke's death. Boe's personal greed played a strong "exemplary" and "leading" role in this corruption feast. Bourse accepts almost all kinds of valuable gifts sent to the door. ”

"Hey...... When the unlucky guy came to power, his economic reform could only be a tragedy under the total corruption, and no effective measures were taken against the corruption of privileges, and the economic reform eventually became a corruption carnival. After coming to power, Goeth initiated a policy of liberalizing economic reforms, but failed to take effective measures to solve the problem of corruption among the privileged strata of cadres. Most of the privileges inherited from the Brezhnev era have been preserved. The result: with the deepening of liberalization reforms in the economic sphere. Taking advantage of the opportunity of being close to the water, and lacking the advantage of effective supervision, the privileged stratum of the bureaucracy quickly replaced the management power in their hands with the management power, thus transforming themselves from managers of state wealth to possessors of state wealth one after another. The so-called "reform". In fact, it has become a race for the wealth of the country for the privileged. Whoever was the manager before the reform became the occupier and the owner after the reform. Ye Laosi was embarrassed and full of emotion, he raised his eyes to look at He Junyao, and said silently, "What about us?"

"Governing the country first governs the officials." The tea in He Junyao's hand was exhausted in one gulp.

"Governing the country first governs the officials". Since the pre-Qin period in China, all wise politicians have attached great importance to the strict requirements and management of officials at all levels. Check the chronology table of the past dynasties, the second year of the reign of Huan Gong. That is, in 710 B.C.E. It's been 2,721 years since then. In that distant era, the ancient politicians of our country put forward such a deafening and great idea, how could we not feel sincere admiration and pride for the descendants of Yan and Huang! This glorious thought. It has influenced generations of politicians from ancient times to the present day. On the positive side, this idea is the unswerving and effective strategy of governing the country for all wise men and wise men with lofty aspirations and great talents; It is in the history of Chinese civilization. The cornerstone of every peaceful and prosperous era.

From the opposite point of view, in the history of our country, every dynasty that was poor and weak, chaotic, and corrupt and festering was all the bitter fruit of violating this idea. The reasons for the rise and fall of the country and the chaos are varied and varied, but tracing back to the source, ninety-nine are one, and most of the roots are in the "rule of officials". Proceeding from this ideological consensus, politicians who take governing the country and the people as their own responsibility have naturally comprehended and deduced the strategy of "governing the country before governing the officials".

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, who was praised by historians as the "Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty", once said with deep feeling when summing up his experience in governing the country: "If the officials are not honest and peaceful, the rule will decline." ”。 Tang Zhen, a thinker and political commentator in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and known as the "Four Famous Enlightenment Thinkers" along with Wang Fuzhi, Huang Zongxi, and Gu Yanwu, wrote in his famous book "Hidden Books": "The world is difficult to govern, and everyone thinks that the people are difficult to govern, but those who do not know the incurable are not the people and the officials. ”

This is naturally a conclusion drawn from observing the lessons learned from the rise and fall of many dynasties. If the officials are honest, the country and the people will be safe; If the officials are corrupt, the country will be ruined. Looking at the historical books, the history of 5,000 years of civilization, positive and negative examples, are everywhere, and the list is endless. As the old saying goes: "Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He." Looking back on history, we can completely say: the rise and fall of the country and the chaos, "success is also ruled, defeat is also ruled." Ye Lao Siyang sprinkled a tirade to vent the depression in his heart. However, human beings are always foolishly repeating the same mistakes over and over again. ”

He Junyao's index finger tapped lightly on the armrest, not to mention anything else, just about the pension case, as Xiang Nan'er said, corruption is also accumulating, and the corruption time is as long as ten years, and it is not a complicity for such a long time. They really all eat dry food.

"It's not the same kind of mistake, it's human nature." He Junyao already felt something.

"Goeth came to power and led the Soviet state to carry out the so-called democratic and humane structural reform, and since the reform is to be "reformed", it will inevitably be "moved", and this "movement" will inevitably break the original structure of non-matching interests, thus touching the interests of some people. And Goe's reform move is very big, and it can be said that he has fundamentally touched the fundamental interests of the entire national leadership. When you think about it, Goeh is faced with a huge number of entangled interest groups, and it is hell that he can succeed. Therefore, it can be unceremoniously said that Goe's so-called reforms were doomed to failure from the beginning, and that he would end up with nothing to gain except to set himself on fire. Ye Laosi continued.

"How will the future change?" He Junyao said, "After Ge came to power, the CPSU gradually split into three major factions: the "traditional faction" headed by Rhi, the "centrist" led by Ge, and the "radical faction" headed by Ye. The "traditionalists" advocated the gradual advancement of reforms in the Soviet Union under the leadership of the CPSU and with Marxism-Leninism as the basic principle. The "radicals" did not believe in communism and attracted the support of the masses under the banner of "anti-corruption". These two factions are sharply opposed, and the "centrists" oscillate between them. ”

"The traditionalists are full of popular sentiment and have no power to return to the sky, but what are the political ideas of the radicals? To put it bluntly, they want to overthrow the Soviet power in collaboration with the capitalist enemies of the West, they want to engage in separatism, and no matter how nice they say, they will never be able to cover up this fact. Now their power is expanding rapidly, and that's because the vast majority of people in this country have been blinded by their illusory promises that they will completely achieve democracy and freedom, that they will get huge state loans from the Americans to restore the economy, and that only they can make the Russian people live a prosperous life, all of which seem to me to be shit. I can say with certainty that the radicals will not succeed, and that will be the beginning of the real disaster of the country once their so-called program is realized, and then these people will have too many troubles to count, and they will just patronize the stable regime and have no time to care about us. ”

Ye Laosi was born in a political family, and has an extremely keen political vision and sensitivity, especially for onlookers, who can see more clearly and thoroughly.

He Junyao filled the teacup for the two, "The East and the West, this has always been an old enemy, the hatred between the two sides has been condensed from the ancestors for a few generations, and now this old opponent who has been fighting for nearly a hundred years, and the cold war for decades, now suddenly stood up and said that he would contribute money and efforts to help them get out of the predicament." It's really nothing to do, and it's either a traitor or a thief, and they believe it. ”

"Hah! This kind of promise really sounds hypocritical and feels hypocritical, but they take it seriously, and they really don't know what kind of wind is pumping in their heads. Ye Laosi took a sip of the teacup and continued. Looking at the demonstrators on the streets, holding banners and shouting slogans, they are simply self-righteous idiots who have water in their heads, and they accuse the military and police in front of them of being lackeys of the Bolsheviks and swords in the hands of dictators, but what are they themselves? They are not also lackeys of the radicals, swords in the hands of anti-government forces. Moreover, compared with the salaried military police, their "lackeys" and "swords", who are destined to receive no benefit, seem to be cheaper, so cheap that they are worth nothing. It's so silly and pathetic at the same time.

Any political dispute can not be a simple struggle for power, in the final analysis, power is a tool for the distribution of economic interests, it is like an abacus, who can hold the abacus, who can win more economic interests, therefore, political disputes in the final analysis or the struggle for economic interests, this point will not change at any time.
