The German side soon sent diplomats stationed in London to the London office of the Foreign Trade Bank of the Soviet Union to visit Sergey's former secretary, Nastya. Prime Minister Thatcher's husband, Denis, also personally handed over a letter of trust to Sergei Nastya. Nastya told Seryozha about the matter that night, and after a preliminary understanding of the situation, Seryozha asked Nastya to return to Moscow with the letter.
Nastya has been working in London for almost a year. During this year, in addition to the work assigned by Seryozha, Nastya also studied a financial aspect at the London School of Economics and Political Science. degree. In general, Na Sijia finally got acquainted with some business in the bank job. In fact, as a manager, the most important thing is not to have superb financial skills or rich financial knowledge, but the most important thing is to have the ability to bear pressure and continue to learn. Because for financial institutions, superior treatment and generous salary will always attract the best minds to join. If you don't understand some problems, just ask your subordinates to write you a detailed report.
After Nastya returned to Moscow, Seryozha had a long conversation with her. Things in the UK have basically come to an end, and Nastya's degree is a one-year master's degree in the UK, and it will be almost over in one month. Sergey asked Nastya about her personal plans, whether to stay abroad or return to Moscow to work. Nastya did not express her personal opinion, and she said that she would completely follow Sergey's arrangement.
"Nastya, it's not easy for me to intervene in the matter of the German boy. This matter made Gorbachev feel distrust of the Ministry of Defense. I feel that the Ministry of Defense may make big moves, so I plan to wait until the situation calms down a little. Get involved after a while. You first tell the German side for me, and tell them that I have agreed to this matter, but let them not worry, and just keep in touch with the Soviet diplomatic department!" Seryozha and Nastia After discussing the business, the two had dinner together. Now Seryozha no longer regards Nastya as his subordinate. She has helped Seryozha handle many important matters and has always been loyal. Seryozha now He has already regarded her as a trustworthy person of his own.
Nastya stayed in Moscow for a week or so when he left for London. Things really went as Seryozha expected. Defense Minister Sergei Sokolov was dismissed from his post for "serious negligence in commanding the army", and the new Defense Minister Dmitry Yasov was supposed to be the deputy in charge of personnel arrangements at the Ministry of Defense. The minister, who ranked last among all the deputy ministers, was promoted to the position of minister by surpassing several top-ranking deputy ministers at once. This is simply a great humiliation to the officials of the military system. Because Gorbachev's move was obviously a punishment for the Ministry of National Defense. In addition, the new Minister of Defense he arranged was not convincing, which also caused dissatisfaction among many veterans to a certain extent.
This matter involved not only the position of the Minister of Defense, but also a series of personnel adjustments. But what made Sergesha happy was that Lebed was lucky to be promoted during this personnel adjustment and became the commander of the Tula Airborne Division. But the cunning Grachev took advantage of this opportunity to become a major general,
Officially entered the ranks of the high-level military. Of course, these are things for later.
Seryozha felt that the matter was almost done, so he went to visit Mathias Rust through his KGB acquaintances, and then he found an opportunity to contact Yakovlev, and Yakovlev This matter was discussed.
"The general secretary is going to deal with this kid like this?" Sergey asked Yakovlev bluntly. Since Ligachev rectified the ministries, the close relationship between the two people has been separated. It's been a long time.
"I don't know. The Federal Republic of Germany is asking for this guy to be released every day, and they have joined forces with other Western countries to agree. The general secretary is having a headache now. If he is released, it will be an embarrassment to the Soviet Union, but if he is not released, the Federal Republic of Germany will Germany is our rare economic partner, if the relationship is too stiff, it will not be worth the loss!" Yakovlev shook his head and sighed.
"Secretary Yakovlev, have you ever considered that this kid is still a minor? Our Soviet laws have always been lenient to minors, and we still owe a large foreign debt to the Federal Republic of Germany? This foreign debt will be due next year. It's due, why don't we take this opportunity to ask the Federal Republic of Germany to relieve our foreign debts, or extend the debts?" Seryozha suggested to Yakovlev.
"It's not that we haven't considered this issue, but I'm worried that this kid will talk nonsense after being released and damage the dignity of our Soviet Union! Moreover, we lost too many people this time, and it is really impossible to explain if we don't punish this guy! "Yakovlev still said worriedly.
"Secretary Yakovlev, we can't handle this matter with emotions. The whole world is watching us? We have already made a big joke, and we can't do it again on this matter." Hurt the image of the country! Why can't we judge this young man normally according to the laws of the Soviet Union? We can also invite foreign media to participate in the live broadcast of this court trial. This at least proves that we are under the regime, at least we can It proves that our legal system is sound..." Seryozha tried hard to persuade.
"Live broadcast, what if this kid talks nonsense in court?" Yakovlev asked back.
"Isn't that plane still in our hands? Let the Air Force think of a way and take a few photos, such as letting our fighter jets follow this plane or something! Just prove that we have spotted this plane long ago Well, it's not that we didn't discover him, but we didn't take any action because we didn't want to hurt him! Even if this kid denies it, it can only appear that he is trying to elevate himself deliberately." Seryozha gave an example.
"Is the debt matter easy to deal with?" Yakovlev did not directly agree, but instead turned the topic to the debt issue that Seryozha had just mentioned.
"This is a door-to-door opportunity, and only if we cooperate properly, then the debt of the Federal Republic of Germany must be postponed anyway, and I am still considering whether it is possible to allow German companies to invest in our country and use foreign capital to help We develop our industry and our economy!" Seryosha asked Yakovlev for instructions.
"You have a good idea, but how do you want to cooperate?" Yakovlev asked.
"I heard that the Gorky Automobile Factory has not been profitable in the past few years. I want to cooperate with a German automobile company to establish a joint venture automobile factory, just like our neighboring country China..." Sergey Sha replied.
