Chapter 120 Yeltsin's Difficult Choice
"Seryozha, did you come up with a good idea?" Yeltsin saw that Seryozha regained his spirits and suddenly became full of confidence from being depressed. Naturally, he was curious about what good idea Seryozha had thought of.
"Brother Boris, you know that I was in the UK for a while to discuss coal export business. Do you know what happened in the UK at that time?" Seryozha asked mysteriously.
"At that time, I was still working in Sverdlovsk Oblast. How could I know what you, a ministerial cadre, were doing? Don't be fooled and tell me, I'm so anxious!" Yeltsin asked impatiently.
"At that time, the British coal workers were on strike. Everyone believed that under the impact of the most powerful trade union in the country, Mrs. Thatcher's government would not take long to step down. As a result, I chose to support Mrs. Thatcher for the Soviet Union. With the support of Soviet coal, the Thatcher cabinet lasted for a whole year to quell the strike. I am not telling you this matter to say how strong Mrs. Thatcher is, but to ask you , if there is such a massive demonstration in Moscow, what do you think our Secretary Gorbachev, who admires the West so much and wants to invite the President of the United States to be the second-in-command in the party, will do?" Serio Sha picked up the cold coffee on the table, raised his cup to Yeltsin as a salute, and drank it like vodka.
"Seryozha, you are too courageous. Do you know what the consequences will be if you do this? You want to encourage the citizens of Moscow to fight against the central government..." After Yeltsin heard Seryozha's plan, cold sweat broke out on his forehead All down.
"Brother Boris, are you afraid? Let me ask you, is the advocacy of openness supported by Secretary Yakovlev and Secretary Gorbachev! Why can those pro-Western imperial literati criticize Stalin and Khrushchev? , Brezhnev, and even Andropov and Chernenko, who just died, were not spared. Could it be that the leaders of our party are all wrong, and only Comrade Gorbachev is the only one right? Brother Boris, the citizens of Moscow have the right to stand up and say no to the government in order to protect their legal property, but these ordinary people have never done such a thing. They need a leader. What you have done in Moscow in the past six months In order to make many Muscovites respect you, don't you just watch your hard-earned good reputation be destroyed by Ligachev..." Seryozha impassionedly encouraged Yeltsin.
Seryozha doesn't want to stand up and be the first bird now, he is different from Yeltsin. Yeltsin has only been working in Moscow for a few months, so there should be nothing unclean. And Seryozha is a shameful thing under the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation's ass. He needs someone to help him slow down Ligachev. At least before the transfer of funds from Japan is completed, the Foreign Trade Bank needs time to annihilate the evidence that Seryozha stole Soviet state assets.
"Seryozha, I still can't make up my mind, I..." Yeltsin frowned and said hesitantly.
"Brother Boris, let me ask you, with your current political capital, which member of the Politburo do you think you can kick out, so as to surpass the embarrassing level of your current alternate member of the Politburo? Waldnadze? Don’t forget that besides Moscow, the Soviet Union also has Leningrad. You are all the most powerful contenders for the Politburo! Well, I’ll assume that you can enter the Politburo and become the country’s top leader, don’t you? Can you rank ahead of Ligachev? At most, you will be placed in the Secretariat of the Central Committee to take charge of some miscellaneous matters! Do you think that with your relationship with Ligachev, you can show your ambitions in the Secretariat? No!" Seryosha said directly to Yeltsin, the cruel reality made Yeltsin fall into silence, and he has always hoped that he can occupy a bigger stage, although his current achievements are not small However, Yeltsin was still unable to raise his head in front of Ryzhkov, Chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers, who was also from Sverdlovsk.
"Brother Boris, your greatest capital is not the support of Secretary Gorbachev. No matter how much we pay, it is not as good as Yakovlev's position in the heart of the General Secretary. Your capital is the support of the people of Moscow to you. Your support is due to your down-to-earth work style of going deep into the masses! Moscow citizens’ aversion and distaste for bureaucracy makes them naturally regard you as their spokesperson. I can tell you in the newspaper every day what you have done in Moscow I saw on the Internet, what I saw was not a deliberate propaganda ordered by the superiors, but an objective and fair evaluation of your efforts by the reporters based on their own conscience. You don’t know your name, even British newspapers have reported it Right?" Seryozha's last question made Yeltsin look up, and then asked with great concern:
"No way? What did they say about me?"
"They say that you are the most enlightened official in the Soviet Union, a man of action. You have absolutely no arrogance and ignorance of Soviet officials in you..." These words Seryosha said were not deceiving Yeltsin, what he said was To be honest, Yeltsin's reputation among ordinary people has been greatly enhanced because of Yeltsin's series of reforms in Moscow. In order to rectify the work discipline of the Moscow city government, Yeltsin has so far removed 22 top officials from 32 Moscow districts. Foreign journalists gathered in Moscow, and of course they would not let this news figure go.
"Okay, Sergey, I agree with your plan! Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Yeltsin was serious about asking Sergey for advice. He had never been to England, and he had little experience in instigating the masses in Moscow. nothing!
"Brother Boris, do you have the guts to make a speech on TV and tell the citizens of Moscow exactly what happened? Brother Boris, please remember that openness is the basic principle set by the Party Central Committee on the second day. Program, we did not violate discipline and state law, and we were completely following the requirements of the Party Central Committee to disclose the truth to the masses and citizens..." Sergey Sha was afraid that Yeltsin would not have enough confidence, so he wanted to strike while the iron was hot to let Yeltsin completely let go of his burden.
"Don't worry, there is no problem! There is no turning back when we open the bow. There is nothing wrong with us disclosing the truth. Even if the central government wants to blame me in the future, I have a reason to follow!" Boris said with a determined tone.
"Brother Boris, please rest assured. After you publicly stand up, I will unite with other departments to support you. If Ligachev wants to destroy the stability and unity of the country, he must have the consciousness to bear the anger of the people!" Seryozha said viciously. ...
