Chapter 384 384 Countdown to the collapse of the Soviet Union

After a series of upheavals in Eastern Europe last year, a prairie fire finally reached the territory of the Soviet Union. This event, which was essentially an amplification of the internal problems of the Soviet Union and was fueled by the forces of the West, will be studied and written about in various forms by future generations.

In February '90, the Soviet Union officially announced its renunciation of the one-party system, and a year ago, Gorbachev was still talking: "It is necessary to accept once and for all the view that there is no political theoretical basis or social reason for the establishment of a new party in a socialist society, and that we are not talking about political pluralism, but about pluralism of opinions." The establishment of an opposition party in the Soviet Union was an abuse of democratization, a fundamental contradiction with the tasks of perestroika, and a contradiction to the interests of the people. ”

But in less than a year, I didn't expect the Soviet Union to beat itself up, give up the positions it was holding, and compromise with those voices that were actually very weak. This is also typical of Gorbachev and his administration, which is weak and bullying, and always habitually compromises when it is necessary to stand firm.

Qi Yiming felt that the difference between a one-party system and a multi-party system is not which is democratic and which is not, and the greatest role of the multiparty system is to protect the stability of national politics. Some people will ask how there can be stability in the rotation of political parties at every turn, that is, although there may be differences in the program and line of governance, while the people are not satisfied, a new party will immediately come out to take over, and then when the party is angry and resentful, the sins of the party that lost its ruling position and are in opposition will be almost forgotten by the people who are forgetful and will take power again. It is nominally democracy and the choice of the people, but in reality such a system will only allow mistakes to be repeated, and the possibility of keeping a country running is not necessarily true if we talk about the true meaning of democracy.

Then, on March 11, Lithuania, one of the three Baltic states, declared its independence, beginning a wave of secession among the Soviet republics. The Soviet Union naturally did not recognize this, but it has not been slow to take any action to react, even to another plane, it was only after nearly a year that it sent troops to Lithuania, which is the so-called "Vilnius incident", but this did not prevent Lithuania from separating from the Soviet Union, and also let other republics see the indecisiveness of the Soviet Union, which eventually contributed to an even greater disaster, the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

Lithuania has always had a long-cherished wish with Russia a few centuries ago, and there have been many wars, and after World War I, it was annexed by the Soviet Union and implemented high-pressure rule, and it is difficult to make such a complicated ******** with Maozi's emotional intelligence, so even if Lithuanians have been crowned Soviet nationals for decades, they are not sloppy at all when they have the opportunity to be independent.

Not only Lithuania, but also the other two Baltic states subsequently announced the start of their respective independence processes, although the situation in Latvia and Estonia is not as radical as Lithuania, but their respective domestic grievances against the Soviet Union have been suppressed for too long, and at this time the reunification erupted, so that the outside world seems to see that a stormy Soviet Union is approaching her end. At this point, anyone with a little political sensitivity can almost see that the Soviet Union is no longer good and may continue to exist for some time, but it is no longer the powerful country that competes with the United States for global hegemony.

The separation of the three Baltic states, coupled with the Russian Federation's declaration that Russia's domestic law is greater than the law of the Soviet Union, and a series of other events all point to Qi Yiming's expectation and nervous result, and in order to obtain the maximum benefits, Qi Yiming stepped up the preparations and deployment of all kinds of Soviet-related work at hand.

Over the past few years, Qi Yiming has cultivated a lot of power in the Soviet Union, and the main backbone is to replace important political figures with Red Alert spies, such as Nursultan Nazarbayev, Novorzlov and other military and political dignitaries. It was these high-ranking people in the Soviet Union, of course, who were not enough to fully pry the entire polar bear form, but they were also enough to progress a series of ideas after Qi Yiming.

Among these people, like Nazarbayev, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, was the de facto dictator of a country, holding all kinds of important powers, prestige and influence for a while, and using them to control some small countries, especially the five Central Asian countries, basically after independence, all of them are the same model, the leaders have not changed for decades, or the power is relatively centralized, which is much more convenient for Qi Yiming to use this strategy. The five Central Asian countries are an important part of Qi Yiming's future political map, and if there is any talk about "since ancient times", it can be said that it is reasonable.

In this era, it may be impossible to blatantly incorporate the five Central Asian countries into China's territory, but Qi Yiming has other ways to regard the five Central Asian countries as China's unbreakable alliance, strategic hinterland, and raw material acquisition place. Once established, the five Central Asian countries will be able to travel from land to the Middle East, the choke point of Eurasia, and at the same time have a suppressive effect on South Asia. For countries located on the eastern side of the continent, Central Asia is equivalent to the chess eye part of the whole game, and if you get it, you will live, and there will be more tricks to play. In addition, from the experience of another dimension, only a controllable and stable Central Asia can ensure peace and stability in China's western Xinjiang region, and those separatist forces and terrorist activities can be better contained.

Not only the five Central Asian countries, Qi Yiming also set his sights on the broader and more resource-rich Siberian region and the Far East, of course, these two regions are definitely much more difficult than the five Central Asian countries. These areas are all regions directly under Russia, not union republics, etc., and the majority of the local residents are also ethnic Russians who have immigrated from before, and they do not have any necessary separatist sentiments, which has brought difficulties to Qi Yiming's actions.

Qi Yiming's approach is to take a multi-pronged approach, first, at the high-level political level, to establish the differences between the two regions and the Russian Federation, such as the surprise of values, if both regions want to maintain the socialist system, and Russia will definitely and inevitably abandon the structure of the Soviet Union and turn to capitalism, then this is a good excuse for differences and antagonism. Moreover, if there is widespread opposition from the people, even if Qi Yiming can complete the independence of Siberia and the Far East, a series of subsequent tasks will not go smoothly, and he will often face counter-attacks, which makes the regimes he controls tireless. There are also solutions to public opinion, starting with the forcible but secret construction of psychic beacons, instilling in the locals socialist values and the admiration for independence. The softer ones are secretly carrying out propaganda in these places, such as opening special Russian-language radio channels, changing people's hearts and minds through economic influence, and so on.

Qi Yiming has been doing these things for a long time, but they are definitely not something that can be done in a day or two. Qi Yiming's border trade in the Northeast has lasted for several years, just to serve a series of Qi Yiming's strategies.

Qi Yiming sometimes looked at the process of the collapse of the Soviet Union in another plane, and felt that the end of the Soviet Union was too rapid, and there was no blood and rain to accompany it, which was simply a bit incredible considering the character of the fighting nation. Of course, some people will put on such things as "the general trend" and "the ultimate truth", saying that any use of force to maintain the Soviet Union is unpopular and contrary to the trend of historical development, and will be immediately crushed and flattened by the wheel of history. The Taman division marched into Moscow, but ended up on Yeltsin's pirate ship, which was related to Yeltsin's repeated visits to comfort the soldiers when the CPSU turned a cold eye to them. Most of the armies in other regions have also accepted the fact that the Soviet Union collapsed and Russia was reborn from the flesh of the Soviet Union, perhaps they were really deluded into thinking that the Soviet Union really survived, and even the people above were planning to betray the country, and they did not need to pay their lives for some lofty concepts.

The collapse of the Soviet Union cannot be smooth sailing and drizzle, as is the case in Eastern Europe, Qi Yiming will completely destroy the Soviet Union, but not so imbecile and undignified. A contest between the red forces and the lackeys under the domination of the West will be enough to concern people's hearts, and at the same time show the world that GC fighters will definitely not admit defeat without fighting, and the socialist camp will definitely not be ****, which can be regarded as a shock to the West.

Of course, there is a relatively big technical problem here, that is, the Soviet Union has tens of thousands of nuclear warheads, and it doesn't matter if there is a civil war, but there is a real fire in the fight, or those irresponsible generals take it by surprise, and finally a nuclear war is launched, that is, Qi Yiming plays with fire and burns himself, so in order to give this kind of consequence an insurance, Qi Yiming also has to control the form of the war, and the intensity must be suppressed below a certain level.

In order to deal with the Soviet Union, Qi Yiming also deployed his own Red Police Corps, which was ready to defend the country's interests and deal with crises at any time. After years of reserves, Qi Yiming's Red Guard Legion alone has a huge army of 1.2 million, divided into ten group armies. The 1.2 million troops of these ten group armies are likely to be the best equipped and most combat-effective troops on the planet, not only equipped with a large number of mechanized weapons such as 99 Tan and MIFV multi-purpose infantry vehicles, but also a large number of Apocalypse tanks, Reaper mechas, centurion siege mecha and other weapons that are beyond the times.

Not only the army, but also the navy and air force in Qi Yiming's hands have formed a quite large scale, but in most cases, the navy and air force of the PLA are enough to support the Red Guard Corps, so it is debatable whether they still have room to play.
