Chapter 940: It's too hard to turn back
"When it comes to fighting for the Soviets, when it comes to fighting for the ideal of emancipating all mankind, but no one wants to go to the most critical moment, isn't the ideal and ism something that cannot be seen or touched? We, these people who are regarded by the capitalists as the beasts of the flood, by the financial giants, oligarchs, and dictators of the world, are being sacrificed all the time, just as we speak, just as we eat. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info people with names, such as Chevagra, such as Zoya, without names, such as those heroes who fell in the nameless tombstones, died under the enemy's butcher's knife, died on the way to adhere to the path of truth, died in front of the eyes of these tens of millions of people, and must not take half a step back when it is really time to die, so that everyone can know that our struggle for communism is real, and it is also true that we die for injustices and tens of millions of suffering people. ”
"By the time of the August 19 incident, I was ready to die in the Kremlin or in a corner of Moscow. I want to remind you that it is true that there are people who have fought for this country, and unfortunately they have failed. lest when you want to talk about it in the future, when you are enthusiastic, you will not find a name that you can say. In the eyes of some people, these fighters who insist on their faith may seem a little stupid, thinking that they have not accomplished anything, but if we regard the struggle for communism as a cause, after all, it is these people who have really done things, and they have really fought for the great cause of all mankind for life, and I have truly dedicated everything to the people I love. We can forget something, but we must not forget the more nameless people. They are the backbone of this country, the spiritual pillar of this country! ”
The quiet auditorium reverberated with the sonorous voice of Comrade Pavlov, and as soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause suddenly erupted, flooding the entire podium like a tidal wave.
Since Yanayev came to power, there has been more interaction with the leader's university speeches, and he has worked to break the coldness of the political-political leadership, encouraging others to get out of the White House and the Kremlin to communicate with the people, and working to create a pro-people image with a sense of presence, rather than a politician-like smile printed in the newspaper.
Pavlov's speech was enthusiastically answered by the university students, and the most frequently asked question was the same sentence, what is the essence of socialism.
"Bringing the people's lives to a better stage and reducing the unequal distribution of wealth is not socialism at all if it does not do this basic point! Remember, you are the masters of this country, and the people have the right to decide the future of the country. ”
Pavlov's clever answer was once again greeted with applause from the crowd, and compared with the ostracism of eight years ago, Yanayev now has completely changed the face of the CPSU, which had a poor reputation.
Equality, justice, and the absence of exploitation, Pavlov described a beautiful vision to all.
After his lecture at Moscow University, Pavlov's next step was to go to the Moscow city government to receive a work report, although he apparently did not realize that he would meet Lukyanov at the university.
The other was dressed in casual sportswear and sat on a bench next to the Moscow University road, holding a magazine in his hand. It looks like a casually idle university professor without reminiscent of him as a top leader.
Pavlov sat down beside him, his expression wary.
"Don't worry, their eyeliner hasn't been exaggerated to that point. But your presentation was wonderful, huh...... Give everything to the people I love...... This passage was uttered by General Secretary Yanayev? ”
"It's the same with you, you don't have a single retinue, do you want to avoid everyone's eyes, so desperately trying to talk to me, I hope it's not the same rhetoric as before. But I still have a little hope in my heart. ”
"What little expectations?"
"Hopefully you'll change your mind."
Lukyanov laughed, but his eyes became gloomy, he didn't come to admit his mistake and beg for mercy, for the head of the organization department, only the political position is the most important, and everything else can be set aside.
"I know that he has already started to shoot, first Ukraine, then the Kazakh Autonomous Region, where is the next target? The three Baltic states? Is he trying to constantly weaken the economic power of the member autonomous regions in order to make the Russian regions the richest regions? Isn't that the socialist fairness he advocated? And why choose the cold frozen soil of the Far East, even if the oil resources are abundant, it can't stand such a waste, right? ”
Lukyanov clenched his fists, and he could imagine what devastating consequences Yanayev's every decision would have for conservatives. So today he stands here, not to convey a good-faith rapprochement through Pavlov, but to try to win over the last ally.
"Enough, Lukyanov, you don't understand what the general secretary is thinking at all! The Far East Plan didn't target the conservatives, but you just stopped what people were going to do. ”
"Yes, of course I don't understand what he is going to do, the Moscow financial regulatory department was investigated and punished a few days ago, and Yanayev is targeting us everywhere. Don't forget, Comrade Pavlov, you are one of us, and since Yanayev is in that position because we are sitting, we can also let him down, that's all. ”
Lukyanov stretched his waist seemingly casually, and said with emotion, "I like smart people, you should know the influence of conservatives within the Politburo, so I don't want Comrade Prime Minister to go down a wrong road of no return." ”
"I have the same question, Comrade Lukyanov."
Pavlov turned around, "When did you start thinking that political struggles are won by outnumbering people?" ”
Lukyanov did not speak, "What do you mean?" ”
"I admit that Moscow is now a period of collective leadership politics, and you think that you can still drive people to a dead end like the August 19 coup? Think about how many important positions are held by conservatives? Do not forget that your forces within the army have fallen, and Comrade Valennikov has stepped down. Although Comrade Akhromeyev is not one of Yanayev, he will not respond to your call, and Comrade Vladimir, Chairman of the Council of Ministers, who is inferior to you, do you still have cards that can overshadow the other side? ”
Lukyanov was silent, rubbing his hands and thinking about it at the same time. What Pavlov said he knew was that Yanayev, although there were not many people, he had always had an advantage.
This is also why he doesn't care about the other party's small actions.
Why should a person who occupies an absolute position be bothered by a swarm of flies? They seem to have a strong momentum and think they can have an absolute advantage, but in fact they are just a rabble, and they can be broken with one blow.
"General Secretary Yanayev has been thinking about the old feelings, so he didn't do it, he was not afraid at all!" The previous conversation was a thorough understanding of the general secretary's position.
"He will not stop his actions because of the other side's obstruction, and anyone who really threatens the interests of the country will never be merciful. Yeltsin, Gorbachev, Umarov, Dudayev, are there still fewer people who fell in front of him? Where are all the guys who thought they were going to win? Will you also follow in their footsteps? Don't you see these bloody losers? ”
"Give up, it's still too late."
Lukyanov shook his head, he had nothing more to say to Pavlov. Since I can't convince my former comrades-in-arms, I just hope that the other party will not stand on the opposite side.
He stood up and walked forward, there was still a series of plans to be deployed, and Lukyanov did not have time to continue talking to those who could not be wooed. Before he could take two steps, Pavlov stopped him from behind.
"Turn back, hand over your power, Yanayev will open the net."
The low-key organization minister turned his head and smiled at the prime minister, but his expression was resolute.
"It's too late, and the fact that we've come this far means it's impossible to turn back. So after all, they will become enemies, not the last comrades-in-arms...... Want to go back...... It's too hard to turn back...... What's more, the war has just begun, and we will not lose, absolutely not! ”
Pavlov sneered and said, "Yes, it is too difficult for those who are obsessed to turn back!" ”
"Goodbye, Comrade Pavlov."
Lukyanov waved his hand, and the figure faded into obscurity. The Prime Minister was left standing alone, staring in a daze in the direction in which he had disappeared. (To be continued.) )
