Chapter 120 Predicting the Disintegration of the Soviet Union

That night, Wu Ruoying cooked four or five small dishes, which were very delicious. Considering Chen Kangjie's habit of eating chili, three of the dishes were spicy. Chen Kangjie guessed that she also learned it when she was in Qianzhou.

Zhao Zhibang and his wife don't have any children around, so the home is usually deserted after get off work. When Chen Kangjie came, the whole family became much warmer. At the dinner table, Wu Ruoying kept serving Chen Kangjie's dishes, and his love was beyond words.

After eating, the three of them went for a walk in the yard again. Maybe there had been no children in the house for a long time, so Zhao Zhibang and his wife took Chen Kangjie by the hand, feeling very relaxed and happy.

Zhao Zhibang has a son who is studying abroad now. He is studying bioengineering and is not interested in politics. In Chen Kangjie's memory, Zhao Zhibang's son did not enter the political circle in the end, but worked as a researcher in a scientific research institution.

"Xiaojie, what are you going to do in the future?" Zhao Zhibang asked about Chen Kangjie's ambitions as he walked.

"In the future, there are many things I want to do. I want to be a singer, make a movie, be an athlete, be an entrepreneur, make a lot of money, and contribute to my hometown. Don't you think it's 'messy'?", Chen Kangjie After finishing speaking, there was no echo, and innocently looked up at the two of them.

"You are really greedy. If others can do the same thing, they will have a successful career. You still want to do so much, but if you have ambition, Auntie will support you." Wu Ruoying said happily, scratching Chen Kangjie's little nose.

"Xiaojie, why don't you want to be a politician?" After hearing Chen Kangjie's words, Zhao Zhibang didn't speak, and showed no expression. After a while, he said slowly to Chen Kangjie.

"Uncle He, are you talking about being an official? It's so tiring, and you have to intrigue. Why don't you do something practical? I'm not suitable for being an official. I'm afraid I'll be a corrupt official, hehe." Chen Kangjie looked disdainful He said, but found something wrong, the person pulling him was a politician, so he quickly changed his mouth to say that he was afraid of becoming a corrupt official.

"Yes, I support you. It's really tiring to engage in politics. Why don't you do something else?" Aunt Wu really supports Chen Kangjie. She may be used to seeing many struggles by Zhao Zhibang's side. There is endless work to be done, and she is also worried about Zhao Zhibang's health, expressing her dissatisfaction with his dedication to work in this way.

"Some struggles are necessary for politicians, but it is not like you imagine. Being an official is for climbing and for your own interests. However, a real politician is for the country and the nation. There is a big difference. ", Zhao Zhibang seems to be teaching Chen Kangjie Chunchun. "But I didn't expect you to think that you would be a corrupt official, haha, so small is a 'fan of money'", Zhao Zhibang told Chen Kangjie that he would be a corrupt official, he didn't take it to heart, and instead joked about it with Chen Kangjie.

"In other occupations, I think I can also contribute to the country and the nation. As a politician, I think I should be exempted. There are too many rules and restrictions in the political arena. Let my father and godfather do it. do it".

"As a politician, you can control resources and do more things for the country and the people from a higher height, wider breadth, and deeper depth," Zhao Zhibang said with emotion.

"Uncle Zhao, then I think you will be a qualified politician, an excellent politician," Chen Kangjie said to Zhao Zhibang with pure eyes blinking.

"Haha, thank you, then Uncle Zhao will take your words as my goal." Zhao Zhibang laughed heartily.

Zhao Zhibang's rise to the top position was not smooth sailing, and Zhao Zhibang was not alone in the party who was suitable to succeed him.After nine years of succession, the successor was able to take over smoothly. During this period, there must have been many fierce fights, especially against the current party secretary of the capital. Many people supported him before his rebirth, but he was dragged into prison later.

Wu Ruoying was noncommittal to Zhao Zhibang's words, but she rolled her eyes at him. It can be seen that she is not very interested in politics.

After walking back to the villa, Zhao Zhibang turned on the TV to watch "News Network", and Chen Kangjie sat next to him to watch with him. Before his rebirth, Chen Kangjie had the habit of watching the news, so he couldn't be called a companion.Wu Ruoying didn't have much interest in this. After watching the important national affairs for a few minutes, she went back to her room to read by herself.

When the international news was broadcast later, there was a piece of news that aroused the interest of the two of them. The TV said that there had been demonstrations on the streets of Moscow, but they were quickly suppressed.This seemed to be a signal, Chen Kangjie fully caught it, Zhao Zhibang didn't seem to have it yet, but his brows were furrowed.

After watching the news, Chen Kangjie followed Zhao Zhibang to the study.Chen Kangjie also wanted to beat Zhao Zhibang's autumn wind, to see if he could find some books he was interested in. Secondly, Chen Kangjie was hesitating whether to tell Zhao Zhibang about the Soviet Union. His international political vision, but Chen Kangjie is also worried about self-defeating.

"Uncle Zhao, what do you think of the news about the parade in the Soviet Union just now?" After thinking for a while, Chen Kangjie decided to try it out.

"This shows that the current political situation in the Soviet Union is unstable, but it has been quickly suppressed." In fact, Zhao Zhibang first thought of the domestic demonstrations in 89.He hesitated for a while before answering Chen Kangjie's view of the Soviet Union.

"Uncle Zhao, have you seen on TV, what's so special about those parades?" Chen Kangjie asked slyly.

"What's the difference? What's the difference? From the perspective of age, it includes three generations of old, middle-aged and young people. From the perspective of clothing and behavior, there are all classes, students, workers and cadres. You mean..." Zhao Zhibang said Suomei recalled the phone call just now, and said slowly.Finally, a thought flashed into my head, and I couldn't continue.

"Hmm, Uncle Zhao, what do you think of?" Chen Kangjie asked with a proud smile.

"Little guy, what are you doing? Inspiring Uncle Zhao?" Zhao Zhibang pointed to Chen Kangjie and said with a smile, looking very happy and relieved, completely contrary to what he said.

"Uncle Zhao, you are wronging me, how dare I, I just asked casually, and you said everything else, I just listened carefully." The treacherous Chen Kangjie put on an innocent and pitiful look.

"Little slicker", Zhao Zhibang said in a compliment, and then his expression became solemn again, "judging from the details, most of the Soviet people are very dissatisfied with their life today. If this is the case, there is indeed a big crisis lurking in the Soviet Union. The attitude of the military is not good.”

"Do you think the situation in the Soviet Union may deteriorate?" Chen Kangjie picked up a book casually and continued to ask.

Zhao Zhibang was a little strange, why Chen Kangjie was so interested in this issue, this is an international event, logically a child is not very interested.But Chen Kangjie gave him a very good impression, very smart, mature and eager to learn.So, I took a sip from the teacup, organized the words, and returned:

"The situation in the Soviet Union has the possibility of deteriorating. However, as the party that has been in power for 80 to [-] years, the Soviet Union is also a superpower and should be able to control the situation." Afterwards, Zhao Zhibang spoke more and more slowly, as if he did not agree with his own words. Also have doubts.

"Uncle Zhao, do you think the Soviet Union will collapse? In other words, will the Soviet Union disintegrate?" Chen Kangjie ignored Zhao Zhibang's ambiguous answer, looked away from the book, and asked Zhao Zhibang seriously.

"Disintegration?" Zhao Zhibang was a little shocked by this conclusion. It's not that he didn't see the "chaotic" situation of the Soviet Union, but he judged the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the short term. It is estimated that few people would dare to make such a judgment at this time. Where is the overall strength of the Soviet Union? In other words, it is extremely difficult for the Soviet Union to collapse, and the Soviet Union was once the big brother of China.

"Yes, disintegrated," Chen Kangjie replied in the affirmative.

Zhao Zhibang lit a cigarette, stood up, took two puffs and then sat down. Chen Kangjie was still staring at him, feeling that Zhao Zhibang was thinking and contemplating.

"How did you make this judgment?" Zhao Zhibang didn't answer Chen Kangjie's question directly, but asked Chen Kangjie in reverse. However, from the words, Chen Kangjie knew that he believed that the Soviet Union would really disintegrate. He just wanted to hear what Chen Kangjie said. The reason is also to find a support point for one's own judgment.

"If it is to disintegrate the Soviet Union by force, it is almost impossible, even the United States can't do it, but the economy of the Soviet Union has reached the brink of collapse, and the United States will not fail to see this. Do you think that at this time, the United States Don’t you want to give it a shot?” At this point, Chen Kangjie put down his book and sat down in front of Zhao Zhibang, “The United States will never let go of this opportunity and will definitely pull the Soviet Union into the abyss economically. The Soviet Union implements Shock therapy has already planted factors of instability in the country. Many people, especially the elite, have already shown signs of taking the capitalist route. Throughout the Soviet Union's development period, it only paid attention to military industry and ignored the civilian economy. , this also makes the people more and more dissatisfied with the 'government'. Now the Soviet Union's prices are soaring and the ruble is depreciating. As long as there are people with ulterior motives in the party and the army, the Soviet Union will fall apart from the inside. It may not be long. , I heard people from Hongyuan say that they have already felt this atmosphere in the Soviet Union, and the rulers of the entire Soviet Union are trying to make money at this time, so I guess that within a year, the Soviet Union will become history.”

When Chen Kangjie said these words, he had completely forgotten that he was still a primary school student. In order to convince Zhao Zhibang, Chen Kangjie actually lied and involved Hongyuan International.

Zhao Zhibang stubbed out the cigarette butt and lit another one. He did not comment on Chen Kangjie's remarks, but was thinking quietly.
