Chapter 139: Privatization in the United States
Sitting in a wheelchair, Andropov's eyes were already a little dim, his spirit was not very good, after a serious illness, he felt quite weak, but just now, he still came here without hesitation, because he was the general secretary of the Soviet!
Under his nose, such a serious incident happened, and in advance, he didn't even notice it! If Andrei hadn't made a timely move, the entire Soviet Union would have fallen into the hands of the conspirators!
Although Andrei is young, he has already shown enough wrists! Originally, I was worried that Andrei only understood military affairs and did not understand politics, especially how Andrei should choose in the face of his former colleagues. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
And now it seems that he is too careful, and when necessary, Andre will also kill decisively! He used forceful means to stop this political crisis, Andrei, the most suitable leader of the Soviets! His youth made the Soviets even more energetic!
Andropov's hand gently patted Catherine's hand: "My little Nana, what a good man you chose at the beginning. ”
Catherine's heart is also infinitely satisfied, although this incident is too tortuous, but the final ending is satisfying, her own man has become the successor of this huge empire!
The coup d'état, which took place in June '84, took place quite suddenly, and suddenly the entire Soviet people did not react at all. At most, the news they heard was the death of Marshal Ustinov, and the rest of the news was not known at all.
In the middle of the month, Moscow officially announced a series of appointments, and at the same time, a large number of political prisoners, after interrogation, were either shot, some were taken to distant Siberia, to pay for their crimes through labor in the mines.
During this period, the 4th Tank Division remained in the city of Moscow, and the official explanation was that several heinous murderers had escaped from Moscow prisons and needed to be placed under martial law and arrested, and ordinary citizens were also consciously examined.
At the same time, on the Internet, all kinds of rhetoric soon disappeared, and in their place, they were to promote the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, who fought cruelly with the enemy in order to defend the Soviets, and today's happy life is not easy to come by!
Pravda, the Red Star, and even more began to publish all kinds of articles, how can they hold high the banner of their predecessors and continue to push the Soviets to new heights?
Behind this, of course, it is Andrei's handiwork, and now, the most important thing for Andrei is to stabilize the political situation in the Soviets! He will never let the conspirators continue to have a stage to perform!
A few months later, across the ocean, the magnificent election also came to an end.
There is no doubt that Bush won the election, and Bush's opponent, the Democratic Party's Mondale, won only 13 electoral votes in his hometown of Minnesota and Washington, D.C., setting a record for the largest margin of electoral votes, and Bush's votes were 525!
Bush won the election! And for him, the new battle has just begun, and Bush is facing a mess!
Due to European reasons, the United States is almost now a betrayal, and the American economy is also languishing because of low oil prices! The United States had intended to get a blood transfusion from Africa, but the war in South Africa had slipped to the brink of getting out of control.
How does the United States emerge from these adversities? How can the United States continue to develop its economy and become a world power?
The first thing Bush did when he took office was to promote privatization!
The United States, as a capitalist country, still has huge state-owned enterprises! These state-owned enterprises control the lifeblood of the United States and control industries that are extremely important to the country and the country, such as the aerospace and nuclear industries. Of course, the United States is not called a state-owned enterprise, and it has a new name, which is called the Federal Corporation.
There are many theories about the true positioning of these companies, and some even refer to them as private companies, but there is a big difference between them.
The United States is one of the few developed countries in the West that has not gone through the repeated process of nationalization to privatization and then nationalization. Now, for example, in the United Kingdom, the Iron Lady is firmly pursuing the full privatization of state-owned enterprises, and has successfully turned losses into profits.
In the United States, federal corporations operate on a large scale and have special business contents, and they still have an important position and influence in social and economic life, especially in the financial and economic stability and macroeconomic management of the federal government.
At present, the business activities of the Federal Corporation are mainly distributed in the areas of letters of credit and finance, insurance, public services, communication satellites, transportation and communication media. The well-known National Railroad Passenger Corporation, the Commercial Credit Corporation, the Communications Satellite Corporation, the Public Broadcasting Corporation, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and the Tennessee Canal Authority are all federal corporations that play an important role in various fields.
Bush's approach is to completely privatize a large number of federal corporations! In this way, the US government will be able to raise enough funds to cope with the return of dollars, otherwise, those returning dollars will completely crush the US economy! At the same time, the government will also have more funds to continue to develop the economy!
Moreover, after privatization, with the injection of private capital, these companies can develop greatly.
For example, in the field of astronautics, the United States is already far behind! If the United States wants to catch up, it needs the injection of private capital!
The United States opened up its space space to allow private companies to conduct space exploration, and just after this announcement, the first private space company in the United States, SpaceX, was founded!
Of course, this company has nothing to do with the company of the same name in later generations, the young man named Musk, who is still a minor. No one knows the background of this company, but this company has just been established, and the initial start-up capital is as high as 10 billion US dollars! And the follow-up injection of funds will also be tens of billions of dollars!
As a result, many rocket experts who serve NASA have resigned from the company and have been poached to this company with high salaries, and at the same time, the company's first project has been in full swing!
Development of a high-thrust rocket with a near-earth carrying capacity of 200 tons! This kind of rocket will be modified on the previous Saturn-5 rocket! In this way, the difficulty of research can be minimized, and at the same time, it is also convenient to complete the development and launch as soon as possible!
SpaceX claims that it will complete the development and launch of this rocket in three years! At the same time, they will also develop a space station and spacecraft, and will compete with NASA's space shuttle! At the same time, they will also open a business model where if someone is willing to experience space flight, they can carry passengers! (To be continued.) )
