Unknowingly, another year is going to pass. Although the end of the year is approaching, Seryozha is still busy with the affairs of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone. Perhaps it was Gorbachev's desire to mend relations with Sergei, or perhaps it was Yakovlev's suggestion. As the Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, Father Nikolov has received a notice of retirement. And Seryozha has already had a conversation with the secretary in charge of organizational work of the Central Secretariat, and if not unexpected, Seryozha will be righted. And entered the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union as a member of the Central Committee.
Although the news has not been announced to the public, many officials at the same level as Seryozha already know about it. In the past few days, there have been congratulatory phone calls and gifts from Sergey's family. Everyone knows what it means to be a member of the Central Committee under the age of thirty. If Seryozha continued with the current momentum, he might be able to enter the Politburo in his early forties.
Seryozha doesn't care much about these things. When you are in a higher realm, you don't care much about these reputations and statuses. So what if you give him the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee. That's not the tsar, even the tsar will be decapitated if he can't settle the domestic disputes. The current Soviet Union is very similar to the Tsarist Russian Empire more than 60 years ago. If an opposition figure like Lenin was born, maybe Gorbachev would not live to the era of Russia. If you don't think you have the ability and guts of Lenin and Stalin, it's better not to try to take on the fate of an entire country.
Seryozha intends to develop the Leningrad Special Economic Zone in the next few years. At least he was once a member of the Red Army, and the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan still has to have a result. Although the employment of 100,000 people is a big problem, it is not impossible as long as there is no lack of funds. However, almost all of the US$700 billion this time came from foreign investors. Since it is financing, creditors have the right to ask about the use of funds. Therefore, in addition to establishing an administrative system for the Leningrad Special Economic Zone in the Soviet way, Seryozha also set up a Leningrad Special Economic Zone construction company in the Western way, so that overseas creditors will have a right to the Leningrad Special Economic Zone. Special economic zones conduct debt claims and fund supervision. Make sure everything fits into the Western economic system.
However, the Soviet government will not allow foreigners to control the Leningrad Special Economic Zone Construction Company. In order to bridge the differences between the two parties, Seryozha asked Yeltsin to serve as the chairman of the construction company. Yeltsin was well-known at home and abroad for his honesty and integrity when he was the secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee. Let him be the chairman of the construction company. Investors have no opinion either. It's just that Gorbachev still has resentment towards Yeltsin, but his subordinates basically have no suitable candidates except Yakovlev. Yakovlev is now taking over the work of the secretariat, and he cannot The Leningrad Special Economic Zone took care of both, and Yakovlev himself did not have much opinion on Yeltsin, so after a year of silence, Yeltsin resumed work again.
Yeltsin was very grateful for Sergey's help. Although he didn't say anything, he used his hard work to repay the friendship of Sergey. In order to do a good job in the construction of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, Yeltsin and his family settled in Leningrad.
Seeing that Yeltsin has regained his vitality, Serezha is also very happy. If Yeltsin does not come out to work, no matter how Serellisha uses the media, there is no way to help Yeltsin maintain his prestige among the masses .
Seryozha and Father Nikolov still have some things that need to be handed over, so Seryozha cannot stay in Leningrad any longer. After arranging the next stage of work in the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, Seryozha hurried back to Moscow to report to the Politburo on his financing in Europe.
Sergey's report took almost the whole morning, and the leaders of the Politburo sat down and listened to Sergey's report carefully, and took notes from time to time. At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly opened, and Seryozha's report was interrupted. I saw an official who had never met before trotting to Gorbachev's side, leaned over and said something in his ear, and Gorbachev stood up from his chair at once.
"Comrade Sergey, come here today! There is something urgent, you go back first, we will listen to the report of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone another day!" Gorbachev pretended to be relaxed to Sergey Said. Seryozha tactfully bid farewell to the leaders and left the room.
Seryozha returned to his car under the guidance of the staff. As soon as he sat down, he heard his car phone rang. President, he said on the phone: "Secretary Ulyanov, we have just received a message from comrades in Georgia that Georgian opposition leader Zvyad Gamsakhurdia led a group of More than a hundred people declared a hunger strike in Husumi, the capital of the Abkhaz Autonomous Region of Georgia, to protest against the Georgian government’s attempt to split Georgia. Now tens of thousands of people have gathered in front of the government of the Abkhaz Autonomous Region of Abkhazia in Husumi, and the scene is very loud!”
"Oh? You're so arrogant that you dare to go on a hunger strike! What's the situation there?" Sergey Sha asked the driver to drive, while earnestly inquiring about the situation.
"I don't know. Our people are watching in the hotel near the state government building. Abkhazia's postal and communication systems have been cut off. They notified me with a smuggled foreign wireless phone!"
"Let them continue to observe and keep me informed!" Seryozha ordered.
After the call was over, Seryozha secretly considered the consequences of this incident in the car. He also understood what Gorbachev's subordinates had told him. The hunger strike of hundreds of people seems not serious, but Gamsakhurdia is a Georgian opposition who almost won the Nobel Peace Prize, and his father is a Georgian literary giant. Such a figure is in front of the Abkhaz state government A hunger strike, the international influence of the Soviet Union will definitely be shattered, don't underestimate the hunger strike. Gandhi became the founding father of India by relying on this trick, and Mandela, who is still in prison in South Africa, is also a master of hunger strike. Nonviolent non-cooperation is the easiest act to arouse the sympathy of the international community, and things are really getting more and more troublesome.
