USSR 1991

Dare to point fingers at the Soviet Union's religious policy, does Ka Dazuo know how to write dead words?

"But this is not enough to persuade the Soviet Union to unite with you to deal with Gaddafi." What Yanayev said was true. If it was only a verbal condemnation and no actual interests were violated, the Soviet Union would be regarded as a wild lunatic.Back then, China decided to intervene not only because Gaddafi wanted to establish diplomatic relations with Taiwan, but because Gaddafi made it impossible for him to get off the table in front of the international stage on the issue of China's nuclear weapons.

"You know, so far, Gaddafi is still buying our weapons, that is to say, he is still an arms customer of the Soviet Union. Does our enemy want us to give up arms customers, will we agree?" Yanayev deliberately asked so.

Warren was taken aback. He didn't expect Yanayev to tell the relationship between the Soviet Union and Gaddafi so honestly. After all, Libya, the seven major arms importing countries in the third world, has a profound arms deal with the Soviet Union. relation.

Yanayev actually doesn't care whether the West will attack Gaddafi. The only thing he cares about is whether Gaddafi will fall. After all, if the government forces fall, Yanayev will lose hundreds of millions of arms in vain Business.If a government that is close to the West is supported, the last bit of his family property in the Mediterranean will be wiped out like this.

The Soviet Union knew what the United States wanted to do. The refugee wave after the Libyan civil strife was a disaster for Europe. Now there is a Muslim refugee wave in Yugoslavia. If there is another Libya, Germany and France should cry.Moreover, after the Soviet Union lost Libya, it meant that he had no allies to trade with in the Mediterranean. Egypt chose to turn against the Soviet Union in 1972.

But now that the Soviet Union has greatly shrunk its front, it has no time to take care of its North African allies in the Mediterranean.

"Of course, these issues are not beyond discussion. Our request is also very simple. Give us the leaders of the other Baltic countries hiding in the United States, and we will acquiesce in your actions against Gaddafi." Yana Yeve will naturally not make the Americans happy.

He has always been worried about the leaders of the two governments-in-exile of Lithuania and Latvia. It can be said that this is also the reason why there are hidden dangers among the joining countries.Except for Georgia, which has always been zealous, only the separatist forces in the three Baltic countries are still fantasizing about long live freedom.

Hang the spiritual pillar of separatism on the gallows, and after foreign political forces cut off their aid, those people will be like headless flies unable to find their way.

"Deal." Warren replied that the governments-in-exile of Lithuania and Latvia are now a burden for the United States, and they can reach a consensus on these goals by throwing them off and handing them back to the Soviet Union as soon as possible.If you really want to kill Gaddafi, China should be the one that has the least opinion.

"It's really a very pleasant cooperation." Secretary of State Warren and Yanayev shook hands again, betraying insignificant small countries for the benefit of the permanent members of the United Nations. This is a striking similarity between the Soviet Union and the United States .

Anyway, when the Libyan people wake up tomorrow, they will see that the Soviet Union's official attitude towards Libya will change from a supportive ally to a passer-by who doesn't care.Immediately afterwards, the United States will unite other countries to instigate a Jasmine Revolution in Libya.

The moment Comrade Yanayev betrayed Libya, he was determined to use the interests of a country to cause a social crisis in the Western world.Because no one would have thought that those potential green cancers would cause social problems that would cause headaches for all countries in Europe in the future.

2Chapter 16 Small meeting of the Politburo

On the third floor of the Senate House of the Kremlin, there is a meeting room specially used by members of the Politburo. In the Gorbachev era, this was a meeting room specially used for Politburo meetings.Now Yanayev has turned the conference room into a dedicated, private meeting place.Although in the eyes of some people, doing so does not conform to the so-called traditional regulations.But no one objected, because the Soviet Communist Party is such a strange place, and the leaders have absolute right to speak in some innocuous aspects.

This time the secret meeting was attended by Chairman of the Council of Ministers Ryzhkov, Prime Minister Pavlov, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party Polozkov, First Secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee Prokofiev, two of the secretaries He was re-elected from the 28th Congress and served as a member of the new Politburo.Even Pavlov, Ryzhkov, and even Yanayev himself are the new members elected in the No.20 Ninth Congress.

Those who sat in the conference room were either powerful figures in Russia, or important leaders of the government departments of the entire Soviet Communist Party.Although Ryzhkov took away half of Pavlov's rights, he was able to better balance the power between the two people, avoiding the danger of a dominant family, and avoiding the reappearance of an ambitious council of ministers in 1953 chairman.

Checks and balances and centralization have always been important and eternal existences in the Soviet political system.

Yanayev did not bring these people together on a whim. He wanted to know what the results of his reforms were.After August 1991, Ryzhkov, who served as Minister of Economy, began to use his own policy means. Compared with Gorbachev's unrealistic chaos, Ryzhkov seemed to be much more steady and steady.The first is to stabilize the fluctuations in the semi-open market, the government regains control over prices, and has an absolute say in important materials, instead of leaving all adjustments to the so-called invisible hands.After stabilizing the market, Ryzhkov then began to slowly loosen the policy. A small number of commodities were handed over to the market for management, and then slowly expanded this category.

"In 1992, we got rid of the nightmare of negative economic growth. This year's economic growth rate was 1.1%. Compared with the economic recession of -1990% in 1991 and 1.3, such achievements are not easy. Great credit It is still due to the general principles and policies of President Yanayev." Ryzhkov read the recent data reports seriously, and he was paranoid and sensitive to numbers as a former Minister of Economy.

"So what about the social aspect? Comrades Prokofiev and Polozkov, I want to hear your views." The final result of political instability will affect social instability, so living within the high wall Yanayev needs other people to understand what's going on outside.

"In 1991, security incidents in Moscow reached the highest peak in history, with 456 security incidents in just one year, excluding political demonstrations such as parades. After 1992, there were only 389 incidents. This year, security incidents have dropped again, with only 311 security incidents."

Hearing Prokofiev's answer, Yanayev was finally in a better mood than before. He had a headache when he thought of the ignorant people standing in the square on August [-]th. After it was made public, Yeltsin’s supporters almost disappeared in Moscow. Now freedom and democracy have become synonymous with dirty foot wraps in the Soviet Union. Most people will no longer agree with these dirty ideas mixed with peaceful evolution policy .

"Russia's economic environment is also much better than before. The main reason is that the economic growth has shown a good trend. In 1993, the economic growth rate increased by 150% compared with the previous year. From the original negative growth to the current 1.4 % rate of economic growth," Polozkov replied.

"Then Comrades Pavlov and Ryzhkov, the economic work of the Soviet Union will still be handed over to you. The Soviet economy has picked up, but it is still far from reaching its previous heyday." Yanayev said euphemistically I hope they can do their best to improve the economy of the Soviet Union.

"Similarly, I also know that there are still many difficulties now, and I hope that everyone here can understand us, because we have tried our best." Speaking of this, Yanayev also took a special look at Polozkov. Russia was the first internal force to split at the beginning, and now he hopes that Polozkov can contain the political disaster that spread from Russia itself to the entire member countries.

Everyone nodded at the same time, saying that they would respect General Secretary Yanayev's decision.But only Yanayev himself knows how difficult it is to take the Soviet economy one step further.Almost every step is a tightrope walk on the cliff, if you don't pay attention, the whole army will be wiped out.

After the small secret meeting dissipated, Yanayev asked Pavlov to stay briefly. He still had some things to explain to Pavlov.Yanayev drew the heavy curtains of the conference room, and the room was illuminated by the crystal lamp, and there were only two silent men.

"I want to know your recent thoughts, Comrade Pavlov." Yanayev didn't like to beat around the bush, and said directly, "Especially after Ryzhkov became the chairman of the Council of Ministers, I want to know your How is the work going?"

Yanayev is also equivalent to asking in disguise whether you are dissatisfied with Ryzhkov's snatching of your rights?In fact, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers that Yanayev became independent has much less actual power than the previous one. Its power is only included in the scope of the economy and people's livelihood, and other powers are still tightly held by Pavlov. hands.

"Thank you General Secretary for your concern. My work is going smoothly. Comrade Ryzhkov is also worthy of being the former chairman of the Council of Ministers. His experience in this area is obviously much better than mine. Of course, if I say Whether I agree with the general secretary's approach, I can say yes and respect the general secretary's decision."

Hearing Pavlov's answer, Yanayev's heart finally stabilized. No matter whether what Pavlov said was sincere or against his will, he had heard an explanation.Even if the other party is trying to seize power, he can kick him out of the list of Politburo members.After all, Yanayev was the one who wielded absolute power.

"Very good, Comrade Pavlov, go ahead and get busy," Yanayev said.

Pavlov nodded and replied, "If there is nothing else, I will go first, General Secretary Yanayev."

"Goodbye, Comrade Pavlov." Yanayev waved goodbye, watching the other party's figure slowly disappear from his sight. At this time, he picked up the recent work itinerary list, and in the original itinerary to visit the Union Republic Draw a circle on the , and then add another piece of work arrangement information.

Investigate military industrial enterprises across the country, and give corresponding pointers to the projects they carry out.

After the Soviet Union abolished a large number of troops and sealed up part of its arms, the rest were sold and sold to third world countries.At this time, the Soviet Union's arms were in a period of shortage. The old batch had been retired, but the new batch had not yet formed a corresponding combat effectiveness.

Yanayev's move is nothing more than telling others that although the Soviet Union has given up the arms race and space race with the United States, this does not mean that the Soviet military industry has been stagnant. What he has to do is to use Practical actions tell others that the general secretary respects the Soviet military projects very much.

After writing this line, Yanayev wrote another sentence on the other side of the memo. Although there were only a few short letters, the information revealed in it could shock at least half of the top Soviet government .After finishing writing, Yanayev felt something was wrong, crumpled it up and threw it into the trash can.Avoid discovering your deepest thoughts.

On the note lying in the waste paper basket was written a sentence, reducing the number of people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and cutting the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

2Chapter 17 Thank you on behalf of the motherland

If there is one piece of news that has caused a sensation in the top Soviet Union recently, it is Yanayev's appointment as the chairman of the Military Industrial Committee.This is the first time Yanayev has concurrently served as the chairman of other departments since he came to power, and this time the decree on the "upgrade" of the Military-Industrial Committee has also been signed. According to Moscow, the committee is directly ordered by the General Secretary, which can improve Administrative Efficiency.

The Military Industry Committee of the Soviet Union is a government agency that makes decisions on major national defense projects and plans. Its scope of functions includes the research and development and production of weapons and equipment, the transformation and reorganization of defense industry and military industry departments, cooperation between military industry departments, national weapons and equipment plans, and defense orders, etc. .

After the "upgrading" of the Soviet Union's military-industrial committee, it will resolve the issue of import substitution to a greater extent, and better bridge the differences between the government, factories and other institutions by being directly responsible to the top Soviet leader.At the same time, Yanayev also announced that the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union Borisov will serve as the executive secretary of the committee.

People with a keen political sense vaguely felt the unusual taste from this upgrade and reorganization. After the August 1991 coup in 225, the Soviet Union almost stopped the research and development of all major military projects, except for key points such as aircraft carrier construction. In addition to care items, such as the launch of the Blizzard, and the follow-up production of the An-[-] transport aircraft have all come to a standstill.The order issued by Moscow at that time was that the government had reached the most difficult moment, and two-thirds of all scientific research funding for military research projects would be cancelled.

Until now, the Blizzard has only been lying quietly in Baikonur's factory building, and has been sealed up by the Soviet Union indefinitely.

Now Deputy Minister of Defense Borisov has received an order from General Secretary Yanayev, Chairman of the Military Industry Committee, to appropriately increase funds to support certain necessary military projects.

The "key" notices placed in front of Borisov include the first batch of projects including the "Yacques 141" research and development plan, "T80U follow-up improvement plan", "MiG 33 follow-up production plan", "Trial plan for Ka 50 armed helicopter ,” “Akula-Class Nuclear Attack Submarine Production Project.”

Other military projects have more or less returned to their previous R&D and production levels, such as Su-30, Su-33, Su-34 and so on.However, the reason why Yanayev included these projects in his focus is also because he saw the long-term and beneficial nature of the planned development.Although the MiG 33 is a transitional fighter from the fourth generation to the fifth generation, its reliable performance was also included in the first batch of standard multi-purpose fighters for mass production in 1991 and 1995, but it was finally funded due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union. , failed to achieve.

When a country's assets are controlled by a group of despicable and shameless economic and political oligarchs, even the country's national defense security cannot be guaranteed. This is the saddest thing.The reason why Yanayev resumed key projects is that he does not want to see such a tragedy repeated on the territory of the Soviet Union.

"Jacques 141 research and development project, why is the Military Industry Committee suddenly interested in this project that is about to be dismantled by the government?" Alexander Nikolaevich Dondukov asked strangely.

He is the main designer of Yak 141. Since 1985, he has worked in the Yakovlev Design Bureau. Yak 141 is his hard work. Because of the various accidents that occurred in Yak 38 before, he also decided to develop it. A more reliable vertical take-off and landing carrier-based fighter to replace the original aircraft.

At this time, the Kiev class has been forcibly retired from the navy. It can be said that the soil developed for the Yak 141 no longer exists. The mainstream of the Soviet navy is also the Su 33 carrier-based aircraft.However, the Military Industry Committee confirmed that the Yak 141, as a mature vertical take-off and landing model of the Soviet Union, has an irreplaceable aspect in combat.

In short, if the Soviet Union sells all four Kiev-class ships, it will be equivalent to broadening the road for international arms sales for the Yak 141, and the Soviet Navy will not only use a single Su-33 carrier-based aircraft. Jacques 141 will also be included in their consideration, although the logistics may cry and curse.

Just imagine, if the Soviet government tightened its pockets and used the Su 33 as a carrier-based aircraft that was prohibited from exporting, then India could only buy MiG 29 or Yak 141. For the latter, India, which has the Yak 38 carrier-based aircraft May be more inclined to the latter.

Of course, in addition to Asan, South Korea has two other countries that do not know when to buy Soviet aircraft carriers, and they will also become potential customers of Yak 141.

"Yes, the designer of Dondukov, our military industry committee believes that the Yak 141 project is beneficial to the development of national defense construction, so we come to announce this to you." It is not a discussion, nor is it a plea. Borisov almost used Tell the Yakovlev Design Bureau in an imperative tone that you have received financial assistance from the Soviet military project.

Perhaps the happiness came too suddenly, and the Dondukov designers were very surprised. After all, their research and development funds were reduced to only one-third of the level a year ago. In the end, the Yakovlev Design Bureau had to spend part of it themselves. Just when Don Dukov thought that the Jacques 141 plan was completely aborted, the Military Industry Committee sent them the gospel.

"I hope Comrade Dondukov can keep this support plan a secret." Borisov put his index finger on his lips and made a silent gesture.After all, these support plans are secret, and once they spread in the military industry, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among others.
