Chapter 118 The Tough Ligachev

Ligachev wanted to take back the money in the hands of the Moscow state ministries to enrich the treasury, but this kind of thing is not so easy. Within a few days, complaint documents from various ministries and commissions flew like snowflakes to the desks of the General Office of the CPSU Central Committee and the Central Secretariat of the CPSU Central Committee.

Ligachev knew what these people were thinking without looking at them, but the heads of these ministries and commissions took it for granted. Without the support of Comrade Gorbachev, how could Ligachev plot against the leaders of these ministries and commissions on his own initiative? small coffers.

Ligachev's estimation was good, and it didn't take long for Gorbachev to send all the letters sent to him to Ligachev. Gorbachev didn't even read these letters. After a while, Gorbachev's special line called Lijiachev's office directly.

"Comrade Ligachev, don't be intimidated by temporary difficulties. There are always trade-offs in reform. I hope you can withstand the pressure and carry out the cause of national financial reform..." Gorbachev said in The tone on the phone was very firm, and he stood firmly on Ligachev's side during the conversation. If Seryozha knew Gorbachev's current attitude, he would definitely be surprised.

Why did the general secretary who had always supported Sergey suddenly join forces with Ligachev? In the final analysis, it was forced by the huge financial loophole caused by the Chernobyl incident. In fact, speaking of the relationship between Ligachev and Gorbachev, both of them were highly valued in the Andropov era, and in the Chernenko era, the two also once joined hands to fight against those in the party. A high-ranking "old man". Ligachev and Gorbachev have many like-minded places, but when Yakovlev was assigned to the Secretariat to take charge of ideology, Ligachev and Gorbachev inevitably faced a break.

Ligachev had been in charge of party affairs for a long time when he was working in the local area. As a staunch member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Ligachev never thought that there would be any problems with the Soviet socialist road pioneered by Lenin and Stalin. Ligachev had an instinctive resistance and vigilance against the West. He rarely went abroad, and he was full of opinions on how "right-leaning elements" like Yakovlev could sneak into the top leadership of the Soviet Union.

But both Ligachev, Gorbachev, and even Yakovlev were deeply concerned about the difficulties facing the Soviet economy. However, the judgments of the three people on the direction of reform are very different. Ligachev always believes that the reform should continue as Secretary Andropov and Secretary Chernenko were alive, and Yakovlev has lived in Canada for ten years. In 2010, I was very envious of this country with vast land and rich resources but no ambitions. Canada is a typical welfare society. Although it does not have much say in international affairs, its people live a happy life. Yakovlev believes that the Soviet Union should not take too many responsibilities that do not have national interests, such as leading the socialist camp to confront the West, as well as an arms race with the United States. no good.

Gorbachev gave Ligachev a shot in the arm over the phone, and Ligachev felt a little warmth in his heart. The last time they said this was when Chernenko was alive, when someone ran to Chernenko's hospital bed went to talk about Gorbachev's slander, and it happened that Lijiachev knew about it. Ligachev took the initiative to call Gorbachev to remind Gorbachev to report to the general secretary on time. At that time, neither of them would have imagined that there would be such a big difference in political views in the future.

"Secretary, how do we reply to the official letters sent by these ministries?" Ligachev's secretary took a chance and asked cautiously.

"Just tell them that this matter was decided by the central government, and they must implement it if they understand it, and they must implement it if they don't understand it! And not only must it be implemented, but it must be implemented meticulously in accordance with the requirements of the Secretariat. I will see it before the end of the month. Various departments hand over the accounts of these enterprises that hang under them to the State Planning Economic Commission,

Whoever doesn't pay me will be dismissed! Ligachev said categorically that this matter has rarely been supported by Secretary Gorbachev. Ligachev has long wanted to govern these ministries and commissions that use their power to make a fortune.

When Seryozha received the reply letter from the Central Secretariat, he angrily tore up the official letter to pieces. In his reply letter, Ligachev not only asked him to hand over the Mediterranean Trading Company to the central government, but also asked him to hand over the management rights of the VTB Bank to the Soviet State Economic Planning Committee. This matter is the rhythm of completely emptying the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.

Seryozha would never compromise with Ligachev in any case. The Mediterranean Trading Company controls the export of enterprises affiliated to other ministries and commissions, and the VTB Bank of the Soviet Union is an important tool for Seryozha and these ministries to share the spoils. Ligachev Where does the self-confidence come from to take away the rights in his hands.

"Yulia, prepare the car, I'm going to the Kremlin!" Sergey picked up the phone and said to Yulia, because Nastya was sent to London to be in charge of the work of the Foreign Trade Bank in the UK, so Sergey temporarily put Yulia, who was quite fond of him, brought him back to Moscow as his secretary. Yulia is naturally full of expectations for being able to work in the state ministries and commissions in Moscow. As for his business in Ukraine, Yulia is not worried. As long as Yulia can still hug Seryozha's thigh, he will not take pictures of himself The partners in the video chain ate her profits.

After Yulia received Seryozha's instructions, she immediately contacted the driver to prepare for departure. Along the way, Seryozha kept writing and drawing in his notebook with paper and a pen. He was thinking for a while how to persuade Gorbachev to let Ligachev back his order.

The car slowly circled the Red Square and drove into the inner city of the Kremlin through the heavily guarded side gate. Seryozha's special car stopped near the last cordon. The guard first gave a military salute, and then politely asked Seryozha to show his credentials.

"May I ask what happened recently? Why has the inspection suddenly become so strict?" It wasn't the first time Yulia came here, and he asked the guard curiously.

"I don't know, we did this according to the requirements of the staff around the general secretary. The secretariat said that the general secretary has been working too much recently. In order to try to arrange time for the general secretary to rest, they asked every former Visitors who come to visit the general secretary must wait here for arrangements!" The guard patiently explained.

"I'm sorry, the general secretary is receiving foreign guests. I'm afraid he won't be able to see you today!" Yulia and the guards were talking when a major officer came out of the room and said apologetically after saluting Sergei. ...
