Soviet Godfather

"The President had a cordial and friendly meeting with the Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko who came to the UN General Assembly not long ago. Both sides expressed inconvenience to disclose the specific content of the meeting. It is reported that this is the first time that the Reagan administration began when it came to power. This time I met with the leaders of the Soviet Union. Some commentators believe that this meeting was the Reagan administration’s accusation that he refused to contact the Soviet leaders..."

At the regular press conference of the White House, the White House spokesperson suddenly leaked to the media the news of Gromyko and Reagan's meeting, which caused a wave of waves. In less than twenty-four hours, the whole world knew about this unexpected meeting.

However, Gromyko, as one of the parties, was very dissatisfied with this meeting. The Americans just blindly emphasized the problem of the Soviet Union's medium-range missiles deployed on the western border. There is no intention of reconciliation with the Soviet Union at all. Gromyko became Reagan's excuse to stop his opponents from attacking his Soviet policy.

The news reached Moscow. In addition to being surprised, Gorbachev was also terrified of Gromyko's diplomatic ability. He still doesn't know if Gromyko and Reagan have reached any agreement. If Gromyko achieves a major victory on the diplomatic front, then there will be new variables in the fight for the second in command of the Soviet Union.

Gorbachev would never allow this to happen, so he began to intensively meet the leaders of the republics. Because Gorbachev holds the economic power in his hands, all the republics are facing the problem of material supply. Therefore, Gorbachev is absolutely attractive to the leaders of certain small republics.

Gorbachev pledged to increase central financial support to the three republics along the Baltic coast-Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The first secretaries of the three republics soon expressed their firm support for Secretary Gorbachev’s economic policies. Then the three Transcaucasian countries-Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia also chose Gorbachev's camp, and finally the Republic of Moldavia, which borders Romania, also participated.

For Gorbachev, the first secretary of Georgia, Shevardnadze, who supported Gorbachev most, is now a member of the Politburo. Because Georgia is close to Chechnya, serving as the first secretary there sometimes has to bear a lot of unnecessary pressure. Shevardnadze urgently wanted to work in Moscow, so Gorbachev naturally agreed in secret.

When Gromyko returned to Moscow, he had nothing to come up with at the Politburo. Gromyko compiled his meeting with President Reagan into a written report and submitted it to the Politburo. Naturally, there is nothing in this report to praise the US government. Gorbachev, who had read the report, breathed a sigh of relief, but also took the opportunity to let his subordinates attack Gromyko.

It was under this turbulent situation that Sergei Shah ushered in his first Supreme Soviet National Congress. Before nine o'clock in the morning on the first day of the conference, representatives of the national Soviets from all over the country arrived in the Kremlin hall in black Volga cars one after another.

After Selesha's special car stopped on the square in front of the Kremlin Hall, Selesha stepped onto the red carpet leading to the venue. There are too many representatives today, and it is the first time that Sergei has seen so many people participate in the same event since his journey. He just got out of the car, and soon comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation gathered around him. Sergei followed them into the venue with the flow of people.

The interior of the venue was brightly lit, and at first glance there were densely packed seats. The background of the rostrum is a huge, modern head of Lenin, with the words from 1922 to 1985 marked below. Sergei felt that such a big scene can only be compared with the funeral of the leader.

Sergei quickly found his seat. His seat was in the second row near the rostrum. The front row was filled with ministers' seats, and on the rostrum were the seats of Politburo members. As nine o'clock approached, the venue was filled with people one after another. With a round of applause, everyone stood up to welcome the national leaders headed by General Secretary Chernenko.

The host of the conference walked to the podium and announced loudly: "All stand up and sing the national anthem!"

Sergei immediately got up from his seat, and soon afterwards the singing of the song rang in the venue.

The collective chorus of nearly 10,000 people created a shocking effect, and Xie Liaosha even felt that his blood was about to boil. Sergei couldn't help looking at General Secretary Chernenko who was in the center of the rostrum. I saw Secretary Chernenko’s lips sing slightly ~www.readwn.com~ and his complexion seemed to be much better.

After the national anthem was over, Seriosha returned to his seat! Although he has entered the ranks of senior Soviet officials. However, at the Supreme Soviet Conference, the last official who was able to make a report on the stage was also the official in the first episode of Minister. Due to the special alliance nature of the Soviet Union, the first secretaries of the republics are two ranks higher than the ministers. Because above the ministerial officials, there are higher-level departments such as the Union Academy and the National Academy.

This meeting was a government meeting, not a party affairs meeting, so the first to make a report was the chairman of the Soviet Union of Ministers Tikhonov. After Kosygin’s reform failed and forced to retire, Brezhnev was sent to the post of prime minister. But he did not bring the Soviet economy back to a satisfactory path. The five-year career as chairman of the Joint Council of Ministers has proven Tikhonov’s ability. If not surprisingly, Tikhonov will retire at the 27th National Congress of the CPSU next year. As for his successor, it is still hard to say. At present, Gorbachev's voice is the highest, but this has a premise that Chernenko still occupies the position of general secretary.

The morning meeting lasted for two hours, followed by a lunch break. Delegates will return to the hotel to rest for a while, and then continue to participate in the afternoon meeting. Sergey walked out of the meeting and was about to ask the driver to pick him up, when Minister Zhuravlev's secretary suddenly stopped him and asked Sergey to discuss the report of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. Sergey Sha did not show any emotions. He followed Minister Zhuravlev's secretary and got into another car. Minister Zhuravlev was sitting in the car. Minister Zhuravlev suggested Sergeysha to have lunch with him and to consider the contents of the report by the way. Sergey smiled and agreed.
