"Dear citizens of Moscow, I regret to inform you that the construction of the new city of workers, which we are proud of in Moscow, will be forced to stop, and the resumption of construction will have to be notified by the higher authorities......"

At about six o'clock in the afternoon Moscow time, before the evening news aired, local Moscow television stations first broadcast a speech by Yeltsin himself. In this speech, Yeltsin appeared on the television screen with tears in his eyes, regretting to inform all the citizens of Moscow that the workers' new city was about to stop.www.biquge.info

The citizens who had already invested their life savings in the bonds of the Workers' New City project were outraged, the Moscow citizens who were waiting eagerly for their move in, the construction contractors who were sweating so the workers' New City project. That night, just half an hour after the news was broadcast, thousands of agitated ordinary people gathered in front of the Moscow city government, shouting for Yeltsin to come out and explain.

At this moment, Seryosha was standing at the window of Yeltsin's office, silently watching everything below, she turned around and asked Yeltsin: "Are you ready for what follows?" ”

"Seryosha, what do you think our odds are?" Yeltsin asked, somewhat uneasy.

"Brother Boris, you are the first secretary of the city of Moscow, if you don't do this, the workers' new city will cease to exist, and all your efforts during this time will be in vain, you have to believe that we are doing good! The common people of Moscow have the right to know the truth, they have the right to refuse the unreasonable demands of the Central Committee! Seryosha encouraged Yeltsin with words that the street movement was too foreign to a bureaucrat who had been in the CPSU system all his life, and that Soviet officials had always been accountable only to their superiors, and that ordinary people did not care most of the time what they were thinking. Even with a talent like Yeltsin, it is extremely difficult for him to completely change his mind overnight.

Jeltsin took a deep breath and walked out of his office. He left the room and strode down the stairs, and some of the staff members tried to stop Yeltsin when they saw him trying to get out of the building, but Yeltsin reached out and refused the staff's kindness. He calmly walked out of the office building, through the courtyard, and then walked out of the gate of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee despite the guards.

"Citizens of Moscow, broad masses of workers, I am here! If you want to know anything, just ask, and I will tell you without reservation......" Yeltsin snatched the megaphone from the hand of one of the Internal Affairs Bureau policemen who maintained order at the scene, and then said in a loud voice.

"Secretary Yeltsin, why is the new city of workers suspended, my pension is invested in it, and the monthly interest is the vast majority of our family's income, if you stop working, what will happen to my living expenses......"

"Secretary Yeltsin, I'm going to be a father soon, where do we live when the workers' new city is suspended?"

"Secretary Yeltsin, I am a construction worker in the workers' new city, and our wages ......"

Yeltsin's appearance made the crowd even more excited, and everyone squeezed forward, just wanting an explanation, a guarantee. Yeltsin turned on the loudspeaker to the maximum, and then said in a loud voice: "The vast number of Moscow citizens, the notice of the suspension of the workers' new city was decided by the Central Secretariat, I only knew a few hours before everyone, in line with Secretary Gorbachev's call for us to be open and transparent, I decided to inform everyone of the news before the evening news, our Moscow city government has invested a lot of resources in the workers' new city project, if this project is stopped like this, what a pity!" Yeltsin wiped the cold sweat on his head with his sleeve, inciting the masses to confront the central government This kind of thing Yeltsin did for the first time, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, but fortunately, when he spoke just now, the surroundings were quite quiet, it seemed that these people listened to his words, and Yeltsin decided to add some drama to himself.

"Citizens of Moscow, comrades workers, please rest assured, we in the Moscow Municipal Party Committee must have the unshirkable duty to report this matter to the higher authorities, so that the project of the Workers' New City, which has cost tens of billions of rubles, is stopped, and we want an explanation anyway, and I assure you that if the higher authorities do not solve the problem, I will vacate the office building of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee for everyone to live in, and I and all the staff of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee will move to the unfinished house of the Workers' New City to work......" Yeltsin said impassionedly.

"Secretary Yeltsin is doing well!"

"Support Secretary Yeltsin!"

"We believe in Secretary Yeltsin!"

……

Yeltsin's attitude of threatening to vacate the Moscow City Party Committee office building was a reassuring pill for everyone, and now everyone no longer regarded the Moscow City Party Committee as an enemy. The attitude of the crowd at the scene finally eased! Yeltsin saw that there was no big problem here, so he handed the microphone to the policeman who was maintaining order next to him, and asked the guards of the city party committee to open the door and let all the people gathered at the scene into the office building of the Moscow city party committee to rest!

After Yeltsin had dealt with these things, he hurried back to his office, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked, "How is it, have you taken pictures?" ”

"Don't worry! Very good shot! I will ask Moscow TV to broadcast this video, and if they dare not broadcast it, I will send it abroad. By the way, I have already contacted the reporters of Komsomolskaya Pravda, and they will leave the front page empty tomorrow for a special report, and you will prepare it later......" Seryosha finished and packed his things and prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to go out, Seryosha said to Yeltsin: "By the way, this time will continue according to the plan we have discussed, we are not convenient to call for the time being, but please believe that the relationship between me and you is a cold one, and I will fully support you!" After Seryosha finished speaking, Yeltsin sat down on the table and made a knowing look, and the two looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word.

Seryosha's special car waited at the side door of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, quietly slipped out and got into the car, Yulia hurriedly asked: "Secretary, where are we going next?" ”

"Make an appointment with the Minister of Coal Industry for me, and I want him to wait for me at the Moscow dinner in the afternoon, and tell him that I have something important to announce to him, which is a major matter related to the tertiary production company of the Ministry of Coal Industry......," Seryosha said triumphantly.

"Yes, Minister!" Yulia hastened to add this matter to Seryosha's agenda.

"Yulia, by the way, contact the Minister of Oil and Gas Industry, as well as the Minister of Automotive Industry, and ask them to free up time for me tomorrow and the day after tomorrow......"
