USSR 1991

"As for Poland, since Kowasniewski is so obsessed with his obsession and wants to be a dog of the West..."

"I will make his life worse than death."

A few days later, a telegram was sent from the Kremlin to the Secret Corps, which was besieged by Polish troops in eastern Romania.

"Communist fighters who are still fighting on the front lines, I know that you are facing the most severe test. The Luke Day regime has gone mad. He threatened to use NATO bombing to exhaust the last man. To win at all costs, we must Let him know that this is not so easy. This is a victory that can only be bought with human life. We must use all resources in our hands, make good use of every bullet, and use all means to take down the corrupt and depraved bourgeois regime. The motherland is trying to find a way to never forget you and never leave a compatriot behind. You must let the Poles and the NATO Army know that this is communism. We must let them know that the working class will not be defeated. Even if we all die in battle, the spirit of communism will live on forever, and your achievements will never be erased! Long live!"

9 Chapter Forty

"When it comes to fighting for the Soviet Union, when it comes to fighting for the ideal of liberating all mankind, at the most critical moment, no one is willing to go. Isn't the ideal and the doctrine become things that cannot be seen or touched? Those of us, these people People who are regarded as scourges by capitalists, who are regarded as the greatest threat by financial giants, oligarchs, and dictators all over the world, have been sacrificing all the time, as we speak, as we eat. People with names , such as Chevagra, such as Zoya, without a name, such as those heroes who fell on the unknown tombstone, died under the enemy's butcher's knife, died on the way of upholding the truth, and died in front of thousands of people. You must not take half a step back when you are damned, so that everyone can know that our struggle for communism is true, and it is true that we died for injustice and for millions of suffering people."

"At the time of the August [-]th incident, I was ready to die in the Kremlin or somewhere in Moscow. I want to remind everyone that some people did fight for this country, but unfortunately they failed In case you want to talk about it in the future, when you are passionate, but you can’t find a name to say. In the eyes of some people, these fighters who insist on faith may seem a little stupid, thinking that they have not accomplished anything , but if the struggle for communism is regarded as a career, after all, these talents have really done things, and they are truly fighting for the great cause of all mankind for life. The real me dedicates everything to the people I love. We Some things can be forgotten, but those more unknown people must not be forgotten. They are the backbone of this country, the spiritual pillar of this country!"

Comrade Pavlov's sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the quiet auditorium, and thunderous applause broke out suddenly just as he finished speaking, flooding the entire podium like a wave.

Since Yanayev came to power, interactions such as speeches at the University of Leaders have gradually increased. He is committed to breaking the high-level attitude of the top Politburo like a castle in the air, and encouraging others to go out of the White House and the Kremlin to communicate with the people. Communication and contact, we are committed to creating an image of being close to the people with a sense of presence, not a face with a politician's smile printed in the newspaper.

Pavlov's speech received enthusiastic responses from college students, and the most frequently asked question was the sentence, what is the essence of socialism.

"It is not socialism at all if it fails to bring people's lives to a better stage while reducing the unequal distribution of wealth! Remember, you are the masters of this country, and the people have rights determine the future of the country."

Pavlov's ingenious answer greeted the applause of the crowd again. Compared with being rejected by people eight years ago, Yanayev has now completely changed the Soviet Communist Party, which had a bad reputation.

Equality, justice, and no exploitation, Pavlov described a beautiful vision for all.

After finishing his speech at Moscow University, Pavlov's next step was to go to the Moscow city government to listen to a work report, but he obviously didn't realize that he would meet Lukyanov at the university.

The other party was wearing casual sportswear, sitting on a bench beside the Moscow University campus, holding a magazine in his hand.Looks like a casually laid-back college professor, not reminiscent of him being a high-level leader.

Pavlov sat down beside him, but his expression was alert to his surroundings.

"Don't worry, their eyeliner has not been exaggerated to this point. But your speech is wonderful, um... dedicate everything to the people I love... This is what General Secretary Yanayev said of?"

"It's the same with you yourself. You don't have a follower. Do you want to avoid everyone's eyeliner? You want to talk to me so hard. I hope it's not the same rhetoric as before. But I still have a little hope in my heart. "

"What little hope?"

"I hope you will change your mind."

Lukyanov laughed out loud, but his eyes turned gloomy. He didn't come to admit his mistakes and beg for mercy. For the head of the Organization Department, only political stance is the most important thing, and everything else can be stepped aside.

"I know that he has already started to make a move. First Ukraine, then the Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture. Where is the next target? The three Baltic countries? Does he want to continuously weaken the economic strength of the autonomous prefectures so that the Russian state can become the most prosperous region? This should not be the socialist fairness he advocated? And why choose the cold permafrost in 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 the devastating consequences of Yanayev's every decision-making step for conservatives.So today he is standing here not to convey a good-faith reconciliation through Pavlov, but to try to win over the last ally.

"Enough, Lukyanov, you don't understand what the General Secretary is thinking! The Far East Project didn't target the conservatives, but you just blocked what they were going to do."

"Yeah, of course I don't know what he's going to do. A group of people were investigated by the Moscow financial supervision department a few days ago, and Yanayev is targeting us everywhere. Don't forget, Comrade Pavlov, you are ours One, since Yanayev is sitting there because of us, we can get him down as well, that's all."

Lukyanov stretched his waist seemingly casually, and said with emotion, "I like smart people. You should know the influence of conservatives in the Politburo, so I don't want Comrade Prime Minister to embark on a wrong path of no return." .”

"I have the same question, Comrade Lukyanov."

Pavlov turned around, "Since when did you think that political struggles are won by numbers?"

Lukyanov said nothing, "What do you mean?"

"I admit that the current Moscow is a period of collective leadership politics. Do you think that you can drive people to a dead end like the August [-] coup? Think about how many important positions are held by conservatives? Don't forget that you are in the army. The power has collapsed, and Comrade Varennikov has stepped down. Although Comrade Akhromeyev is not from Yanayev, he will not respond to your call, and the chairman of the Council of Ministers, who is ahead of you, Vladimir Comrade Radimir, do you still have any cards that can overwhelm your opponent?"

Lukyanov was silent, thinking about it while rubbing his hands.He knew what Pavlov said. Although Yanayev was not many people, he always had the advantage.

This is also why he doesn't care about the opponent's small movements.

Why should a man who occupies an absolute position have trouble with a swarm of flies?They seem to be powerful and think they can occupy an absolute advantage, but in fact they are just a mob that can be broken with one blow.

"General Secretary Yanayev has been thinking about his old love, so he didn't do anything. He was never afraid at all!" The previous conversation completely understood the general secretary's position.

"He will not terminate his actions because of the obstruction of the other party. Anyone who really threatens the interests of the country will never show mercy. Yeltsin, Gorbachev, Umarov, Dudayev, the people who fell in front of him Is there still less? Where are those guys who thought they had a chance to win? Are you going to follow in their footsteps? Haven’t you seen these bloody losers?”

"Give up, it's still too late."

Lukyanov shook his head, he had nothing 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 were still a series of plans to be deployed, and Lukyanov had no time to continue talking with people he couldn't win over.Before he took two steps, Pavlov stopped him from behind.

"Turn back, hand over your power, Yanayev will be lenient."

The low-key organization minister turned his head and smiled at the prime minister, but his expression was determined.

"It's too late. We've come this far, which means we can't turn back. So we will become enemies in the end, not the last comrades-in-arms... It's too difficult to turn back... Besides, the war has just started, we won't lose, absolutely I won't lose!"

Pavlov sneered and said, "Yeah, those who are obsessed with obsession will find it difficult to turn around!"

"Goodbye, Comrade Pavlov."

Lukyanov waved his hand, and his figure gradually disappeared from the end of his vision.Only the prime minister was left standing there, staring at the direction where he disappeared in a daze.

Chapter 941 Everyone Wants to Kill One by One

Voinea's control of the situation in Ukraine has been unparalleled, especially in the offensive of the Lukeri regime, forcing the Polish army to retreat steadily, and it is almost pushed to the crumbling siege.The Bucharest Legion knew that their offensive was going well because a mysterious legion was pulling part of the Polish armored division in the east, otherwise it would be almost impossible to reach the current level with their abilities.It was also for this reason that Voinea wanted to take that city even more recklessly.

No country is willing to send fighter jets to cover Luke Day anymore. The financial oligarchs are like the last dynasty, realizing that they have no power to recover. There is a chance of turning the corner and expecting NATO forces to win the war again.

Hope and despair continued to torment them, and with the stalemate of the war seemingly degenerating into an endless entanglement, Voinea was thinking about which direction he should develop the unified Romania after the war was over.

It is inevitable to be pro-Soviet. Without the support of the Soviet Union, Voinea would not have been able to complete the unified civil war. He will stand in Yanayev's position and fight against the coveted Western regime.Moreover, Romania is also an important area for oil export. A very important part of the reason why NATO chose them to start is to contain the Soviet Union's oil export in the cradle.

The scramble for oil pipelines played an important role in the Romanian war, and some NATO officers even concluded that it was an oil pipeline proxy war under the cloak of changing political systems.

The Soviet Union did not lack the political determination and resource advantages to revive the oil industry. What it needed was to try to negotiate with the West and import more efficient oil extraction equipment and technology.At the Plenary Session of the CPSU Central Committee in 1955, the member of the Central Committee of the CPSU I. F. Tevo pointed out excitedly that only by improving the lagging situation in the field of technology and equipment as soon as possible can it be possible to improve the low efficiency of the oil industry.In the list of oil equipment and technology that the Soviet Union intends to import from Europe, large-diameter oil pipelines are at the top of the list. After World War II, with the relative depletion of the Baku oil field in the traditional oil production area, the oil base of the Soviet Union gradually moved eastward to West Siberia.Whether it is to transport oil to the European part of the country, which is the economic center of gravity, or to export to European countries in exchange for foreign exchange and technical equipment, sufficiently cheap and efficient means of transportation are needed, among which large-diameter pipeline transportation is the most economical.According to the calculation of the American scholar Jensen, if the oil pipeline uses 40-inch steel pipes, the freight will be 24% less than 30.00-inch steel pipes, and 70.00% less than railway transportation.

Unfortunately, as the scholar Jensen pointed out, the production capacity of large-diameter steel pipes in the Soviet Union can only reach a "symbolic amount", which cannot meet the needs of long-distance oil transportation.On the contrary, the United States has 70.00% of the world's production capacity of steel pipes above 24 inches.However, since the United States has imposed a trade embargo on the Soviet Union and its socialist allies since the beginning of the Cold War, Moscow has no choice but to exchange oil for related equipment from Europe.However, since the Soviet Union broke the limit on steel pipe production capacity, Europe and the United States have failed to use the Paris Coordinating Association to interfere. They can only block the Soviet Union's oil transportation policy through political interference. Even in terms of oil equipment, the EU can no longer sit on the ground and raise prices up.

Now they will lose even Romania, this is the most desperate ending.

Voinea was sitting in his office watching the telegram from the front. Suddenly he received a call from the Kremlin. Yanayev seldom cared about the situation in Romania. Today was an exceptional call to ask about the situation. The only thing he cared about was Voine How long will it take for Asia to unify the entire country.

"It's almost there. Now the Lukeri regime is in jeopardy, and our troops can push them away at any time. General Secretary Yanayev, I think it's time..."

"To shut up."

Yanayev interrupted Voinea's report neatly. He held the microphone and said, "I only care about one thing. You have torn apart the opponent's line of defense. Why hasn't the Eastern Legion supported you yet? Troops, what are you doing?"

Voinea stood up in a jerk, knowing that Yanayev was planning to come over to question the teacher.Originally, the Eastern Legion was not his own force, so he thought that the other party could delay a little longer, and it would not be too late to support them after he took Luke Day.But Luke Ri's tenacity exceeded their imagination, and the battle has been stalemate for three weeks and there is still no breakthrough.The Red Army, which was surrounded by heavy siege, was hit when it was wiped out.

The general secretary was very angry, and the consequences were very serious.

"We have not given up the reinforcements. As long as the Luke Ri regime is relieved, we will immediately reinforce the final siege troops in the east..."
