Chapter 96: Capable Yulia

"Minister Ulyanov, thank you for rushing to Ukraine to participate in the rescue work of Chernobyl at a critical moment..." Seryozha had just gotten off the plane when he saw the Ukrainian officials who came to receive him at the airport. However, apart from Yulia and Gennady of the Tymoshenko family, Seryozha had no impression of the rest.

"Thank you comrades for coming to the airport to welcome me, but now is an extraordinary period, and comrades should still focus on work!" Seryosha said earnestly while shaking hands with the receiving officials.

Now in the image of Seryozha, speaking of such old city words will not make these officials with an average age of 50 or 60 feel awkward at all. Recently, Seryozha has followed Yeltsin's suggestion and has been subtly changing his image, hoping to look "older" from the outside. He deliberately grew a beard and added a few strands of silver hair to his sideburns. At first glance, Seryozha appeared to be in his thirties. This change did not happen overnight, but subtly changed the image of Seryozha in other people's minds.

This time Seryozha came to Dnepropetrovsk with a large amount of cash, mainly to provide financial and material support for the Chernobyl rescue operation. At present, the entire Soviet Union has taken action. The Ministry of Defense even recalled the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army Valentin Ivankovich Valennikov from Afghanistan to serve as the commander-in-chief of the rescue operation at Chernobyl. The commander-in-chief of the Soviet Chemical Corps, General Pikalov, had personally inspected it from above Chernobyl at the risk of nuclear radiation. More than a dozen combat divisions, including the 17th, 51st, 97th, 15th, and 40th Guards Motorized Infantry Divisions under the entire Kyiv Military District and the 34th and 161st Motorized Infantry Divisions in other parts of Ukraine, were mobilized.

The residents of Pripyat have all been evacuated to other cities in the Soviet Union, and the firefighters and Red Army soldiers who showed severe symptoms of nuclear contamination during the rescue of Chernobyl were sent to the Sixth Army Hospital in Moscow by plane to get treatment. The Ministry of Transport even adjusted the railway lines in Ukraine to ensure that relief supplies destined for Pripyat can reach the scene as quickly as possible.

Although Seryozha's mission in Dnepropetrovsk was not life-threatening, he was not at all easy. He is responsible for accommodating the 53,000 Pripyat residents evacuated from Pripyat. In addition, he is also responsible for allocating relief supplies to Chernobyl. These tasks are cumbersome and heavy. It had been a long time since Seryozha was personally responsible for so many tasks.

Since Nastya is still not around in England, Seryozha made an exception and arranged for Yulia to work by his side in addition to the cadres brought from Moscow. Seryozha was still very impressed with Yulia's abilities. He did not misunderstand the person. Under Yulia's arrangement, the work in Dnepropetrovsk finally began to become clear and orderly. stand up.

The hundreds of thousands of engineering troops drawn from the Russian Republic soon arrived in Ukraine. Their task is to build 130 dams within an area of ​​more than 1,300 square kilometers around Chernobyl in Ukraine and Belarus to prevent nuclear accidents from polluting the surrounding rivers.

In addition, large cities with certain industrial strength, such as Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, Minsk, the capital of Belarus, and Dnepropetrovsk, are responsible for the production of large quantities of industrial liquid nitrogen to meet the needs of the Chernobyl nuclear accident site. , because according to the suggestion of experts from the Soviet Academy of Sciences, there is a need to use oil drilling equipment to open a channel extending below Chernobyl from the side, and inject liquid nitrogen through this channel to cool down the reactor. The consumption of liquid nitrogen is huge, requiring about 25 tons per day. It is impossible to meet such a huge demand close to the factory in Kyiv.

As Yulia gradually took over more and more work, Seryozha could finally take a good breath. The losses to the Soviet Union from this man-made disaster were enormous. The 10 billion rubles provided by Seryozha were almost spent in less than a month. Although the overall capital needs have not yet been estimated, Sergesha expects to need another 10 billion rubles.

What happened at Chernobyl was really not at the right time, because the debt negotiations between Gaidar and the Federal Republic of Germany had already reached a consensus. . But because of the Chernobyl nuclear leak, Sergesha could only embezzle the money used to repay foreign debts for disaster relief, and the VTB Bank of the Soviet Union fell into a credit crisis.

The Germans did not extend the Soviet Union's debt because of the Chernobyl incident. On the contrary, they hoped to use this as an excuse to discuss the issue of reunification with the Soviet Union. This is simply taking advantage of the fire. In order to let the Germans die, Sergey asked Mikhail to borrow a large amount of funds from the Bank of Japan and the Bank of Tokyo, totaling about 20 billion U.S. dollars to end the Soviet debt in the hands of the Federal Republic of Germany. The remaining funds were thrown into the account of the newly established insurance company in the United States by Seryozha.

The Chernobyl incident not only seriously injured the Soviet Union, but also made Seryosha feel unprecedented financial constraints. But now Sergesha still does not intend to sell the yen assets in his hand to cash out. Because the yen is still in a strong upward trend.

However, during this period of time, Yulia has gained a lot of glory by being with Seryozha. Since Seryozha is now the chief logistics officer of the rescue operation, she came to Dnepropetrovsk to meet Seryozha. People are basically officials with high backs, so Yulia got acquainted with many prominent figures in Ukrainian politics.

Seryozha was not dissatisfied with Yulia's use of her own guise to make friends with powerful people. In fact, he admired Yulia's personality very much. Serezha was born as an orphan, while Yulia was born in a rural family in Dnipropetrovsk, and her mother was Armenian. Man made his way in the political circles of the Soviet Union. Both Seryozha and Yulia Que are ambitious and want to make some achievements. So when Seryozha saw Yulia, he remembered the life when he was living in Gorky City, selling medicines on the black market in a humble way, attracting people's eyes and being discriminated against. So Seryozha unknowingly began to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.
