The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Moscow, winter 1990.

Moscow this winter is colder than in previous years.

Especially in Moscow, which is close to the Arctic Circle, when you walk on the street, the wind blowing in your face is not wind, it is a cold knife.

In the cold winter, the happiest thing is to stay in a room as warm as spring, drink wine, eat meat, and chat and brag with family and friends.

This is the choice of ordinary people. For Sergeyevich, although he can also enjoy such warmth, he still lacks the real warmth and happiness.

It's just because he is a lonely man. Even his closest wife, Raisa Gorbacheva, keeps a distance and is wary of him when they are with him.

Bang!
Sergeyevich shot and killed an elk more than a hundred meters ahead, and as he watched it fall in the snow, he couldn't help but smile happily.

The subordinates immediately cheered and celebrated this moment.

The flattery made Sergeyevich smile even more.

No one doesn't like being flattered. Listening to people saying nice things about you can definitely make you happy.

It was because many times, Sergeyevich was exhausted by his enemies and could only relax and relieve stress through hunting.

“This society is rotten to the core.”

This is Sergeyevich's profound understanding, and it is also the emotion he expressed after he gained a more comprehensive understanding of the information after entering the Kremlin.

And only after that did he begin his reforms.

"Comrade Secretary, this is a call from Comrade Kiriakov from our space agency. Do you need to answer it?"

Just when Sergeyevich released the pressure and was about to set off back to Moscow, his subordinates suddenly came to report.

Of course I have to answer this call.

Kiriakov's call was to report on his work and state the historic moment of the Moscow Space Agency: the moon landing!

As early as the 1970s, when the mainland launched the Nantianmen space station project, Moscow followed suit and built its own space station.

But in the 1980s, at the end of 1981, when the mainland announced the plan for a lunar orbital space station, the Moscow Space Agency and everyone in the Kremlin were all dumbfounded.

Even people in North America were equally dumbfounded.

It turns out that the mainland's purpose of building a space station at that time was not so pure. They were actually secretly carrying out a plan for a lunar orbital space station?

It was from that time that everyone knew that the mainland wanted to achieve the grand goal of landing on the moon.

Starting from the Nantianmen Space Station, no matter whether it is Moscow or Washington, everyone knows that the mainland is not simple.

Washington is a little better. After all, they have landed on the moon a long time ago, and more than once.

But Moscow did not do that. In 1969, after being surpassed by Washington, Moscow gave up on itself.

However, the problem now is that the mainland, which was once Moscow’s little brother, now has to shit and piss on the head of its big brother, Moscow. This is absolutely not allowed!
So the Moscow Space Agency took action.

As for the lunar orbital space station, our Moscow Space Agency can also do it.

After the experiences of Vladimirovich and Ustinovich, the Moscow Space Agency restarted the moon landing plan in 1985.

Of course, Moscow has the advantage of being a latecomer, that is, Moscow’s scientific research capabilities are very strong, even invincible!
In the winter of 1990, Moscow's lunar orbital space station was about to be completed, and they were preparing to enter the moon landing phase.

Sergeyevich couldn't help but smile when he heard the good news.

"Okay, okay, I order you to ensure safety. Don't let the incident like the one that happened to the Soyuz 11 spacecraft happen again."

Although he was very happy, Sergeyevich still gave a serious warning.

"Yes, Comrade Secretary, I promise that something like this will not happen again."

Kiriakov on the other end of the phone was shocked and quickly made the assurance.

The incident of the Soyuz 11 spacecraft is still fresh in our memory. This incident can be said to be a shame for the entire Moscow Space Agency and has made Moscow a global laughing stock.

Being too eager for quick success and too proud and conceited led to such a tragedy.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Sergeyevich frowned and looked at his subordinate, because the subordinate's face was purple and he looked very embarrassed.

"what happened?"

Something bad must have happened. Is there any need to ask?

Soon, after his subordinates reported, Sergeyevich's face suddenly changed, and his whole body became full of energy and became extremely angry.

Bastard, what a bastard!
But a few hours ago, in the center of Moscow, Nikolayevich and others caused trouble again.

A group of people headed by Nikolayevich are specialized in sabotage and are a group of villains who want to steal benefits.

Sergeyevich still doesn't know who is behind the recent chaos, but there is no doubt that some people really deserve to die.

For example, this incident happened some time ago in the center of Moscow. Due to heavy snow in Moscow, two buildings that were built this summer collapsed. Several factories also caught fire due to quality problems, causing hundreds of casualties.

Behind all these situations lies a problem: corruption!

What the subordinates reported to Sergeyevich was the results of investigations into factory fires, building collapses and other cases. In the process, they also discovered that the arsenal was suffering serious losses, etc.

why?

This requires mentioning one person, and that is Brezhnev.

After Brezhnev came to power, he felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so he promoted many of his cronies.

Banderowski was the one who had the most say on this point.

Although at that time, Brezhnev invited back Andrei Gromyko, the former director of the intelligence department, to check and balance Bandrovsky for reasons of checks and balances and control of his subordinates.

But even so, Banderovsky was still very happy because he couldn't live without Brezhnev.

As more and more people gathered around Brezhnev, more and more people followed suit and tasted the sweetness.

So at that time, a "Tsarist aristocracy" emerged in the whole of Moscow that was above ordinary people.

These nobles are extremely powerful. Relying on their power and influence, they are capable of doing anything evil.

Just like the reports Sergeyevich heard now, it was actually because these people were stealing, plundering and taking collective property for themselves.

And at that time, bribery was a common phenomenon and no one cared about it.

It is a bit like the late Qing Dynasty, when the prices of transactions were clearly marked, such as a ninth-rank official only needed 5,000 taels of silver. After 1966, Chen Guohua proposed the white glove enterprise.

Zhao Zunmin, Zhang Qingshan, Ma Shouchang and others who entered Moscow to carry out white glove enterprise tasks took advantage of this common social phenomenon and began their infiltration work like fish in water.

The high profits earned by China Resources Corporation every year are actually because the entire Moscow has almost become a dumping market for mainland electronic products.

You have to know that at that time, the products produced in the mainland, such as Huashuo computers, electronic dictionaries, Huami mobile phones, and Huaxing digital SLR cameras, had no competitors that could compete with them, let alone in Moscow, even in the whole world.

What's more, Moscow is a place like this?
Moscow is located in the northernmost part of the world and is one of the countries closest to the Arctic Circle, with an extremely cold climate all year round.

Even in summer, that is, in June, July and August, the temperature is above ten degrees, but it will not be higher than forty degrees at the hottest time, and the high temperature of twenty or thirty degrees is not long.

But in winter, the temperature has once reached minus 68 degrees Celsius, which is so horrible.

So in a place like this, even if China Resources' electronic products come here, they will sometimes crash.

The electronic technology products produced in Moscow are really not that good, at least there is no grass growing there.

why?
Because Zhang Qingshan, Zhao Zunmin, Ma Shouchang and others had already fed the people surrounding Brezhnev.

Zhao Zunmin and his men have accurate targets and can deal with those nobles with great precision.

Because this noble group is very large, it is impossible for Zhao Zunmin and his team to contact all of them, so they can only "precisely strike".

You know, the entire aristocratic group exceeds 700,000 people. If you count their families, the total number exceeds a staggering 3 million.

It was almost equivalent to the population of half of the capital in the 1950s and accounted for 1.5 percent of the total population of Moscow at that time.

So this aristocratic group is really huge.

They are extremely greedy and demand without limit.

If it weren't for Zhao Zunmin and his group who knew how to play tricks and how to "borrow the power of others", otherwise, the profits earned by the white glove companies in Moscow would not be enough for these nobles to share.

After all, these nobles are not stupid!
For example, Nikolayevich is definitely a very greedy person.

Of course, what he coveted was far beyond anyone's imagination.

It was also because of this that he was bribed by Zhao Zunmin and others. It can even be said that Zhao Zunmin was just one of the people used by Nikolayevich.

On the chessboard of Moscow, most people are chess pieces, and many people are not even qualified to be chess pieces.

But Nikolayevich wanted to be a chess player, so his pattern and vision were very different.

He would not hesitate even if it meant sacrificing so many lives.

Otherwise, Sergeyevich would be sad when he heard that so many people died in the factory fire.

On the contrary, when Nikolayevich learned the news, he was not sad but very happy.

Because as long as Sergeyevich was busy dealing with these things, he, Nikolayevich, would have a better chance of completing the theft.

"Old Zhao, what should we do now?"

In an office in Moscow, Zhao Zunmin and others gathered for a meeting.

One of the two factories that caught fire was the private property of the nobleman Petrovich, who was invested by Zhao Zunmin and his team.

When this nobleman named Petrovich learned about the accident at the factory, the first thing he did was not to look for the factory manager, but to ask Zhao Zunmin and others for compensation.

It’s so outrageous that his mother opened the door for outrageous things. It’s so outrageous.

"What else can we do? We should pay them back!"

Zhao Zunmin rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Hurry up and contact them and explain this matter in detail. I hope they can reply to us as soon as possible."

It is well known how greedy Petrovich is.

No one wants such a thing to happen, but it seems to be inevitable.

Because the construction company responsible for the construction of the Petrovich factory was itself a company made up of a bunch of idiots.

Therefore, cutting corners is a common practice, and fires in factories are inevitable.

When greed becomes a social phenomenon, more "natural disasters and man-made calamities" occur in society. Isn't this normal?

Zhang Qingshan and Ma Shouchang looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

The latter said:

"Lao Zhao, this is 30 million rubles after all, it is not a small amount of money."

Zhao Zunmin hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then he remained silent.

Now 1.8 rubles can be exchanged for one US dollar, which means it is equivalent to more than 16 million US dollars.

This is definitely not a small amount of money, because in 1990, the US dollar was still the strongest currency in the world, without a doubt.

In the capital, Song Xuyan received the news from Zhao Zunmin and others, and told Chen Guohua about it.

Upon hearing this, the latter was immediately angered and laughed, saying:
"No way? So much money was just given directly to the other party? And the other party also asked for payment in US dollars and gold?"

This Petrovich has a really big appetite. He actually asked for a huge amount.
Don’t be afraid of overeating yourself to death!

"What's the difference? Rubles and dollars are no different from gold, right?"

Wang Dingzuo on the side asked in confusion, and Chen Guohua immediately rolled his eyes:
"I say, Lao Wang, you are often in charge of white glove companies. Have you forgotten how those Wall Street wolves do things?"

Song Xuyan immediately continued:

"Old Chen, are you saying there's a big difference here?"

"Ok!"

Chen Guohua nodded, and then briefly analyzed with them the current chaos in Moscow. After the overall situation in Tokyo emerges, chaos will inevitably arise in Moscow as well.

It can even be said that the fuse for the chaos in Moscow was laid as early as the 1960s and 1970s.

Not to mention an ordinary squad leader like Sergeyevich, even if Brezhnev came back to life, or anyone else, there would be nothing they could do.

How could such an irreversible mess be turned around so easily?
That was a carnival of more than 700,000 nobles. It was so difficult! (End of this chapter)
