Soviet Godfather

"Selesha, it's done!" Yakovlev made a special trip on the phone in a joyful voice. Although there will be corresponding reports on TV soon, Yakovlev still wants to personally Inform Gorbachev's ministers of this good news. Bayi Chinese Network? ㈠?

After putting down the phone, Selesha felt excited. Although he had known that the final winner was Gorbachev, Selesha knew that all of this was hard-won because he had experienced this year's struggle personally.

The first thing Gorbachev did after taking office was the funeral of General Secretary Chernenko, the third highest leader of the Soviet Union to die within three years. The frequent replacement of high-ranking leaders has put the Soviet Union's political situation in a state of instability, and the great cause of reform has therefore stagnated.

Not only was economic reform delayed, the anti-corruption campaign advocated by Andropov was also completely rejected. Sergey Sha knows exactly what Gorbachev is. In the first two years of his administration, Sergey Sha will not expand his financial business to the country in any way.

With the announcement of the list of the funeral committee of General Secretary Chernenko, the people soon knew who the new head was. Gromyko did not withdraw from the stage of Moscow politics. He was elected chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet. This position is nominally the state of the Soviet Union, but in fact it has only symbolic meaning.

Seryosha was honored to be appointed as a member of the funeral committee of General Secretary Chernenko. This is not an honor that everyone can get, because Zuravlev, Sergei's immediate boss, did not get the honor. Sergei knew that this was Gorbachev's reward for himself.

Seryosha devoted himself wholeheartedly to the work of the funeral committee. This time he is still in charge of external liaison work and is responsible for inviting foreign dignitaries to attend Chernenko's funeral. Nasca will be responsible for the specific matters, and Sergei only needs to lead the overall situation.

Chernenko’s funeral was the same as before. Two days before the funeral, Chernenko’s coffin was parked at the Moscow Workers’ Cultural Center for people to mourn. The outside of the cultural center was full of garlands sent by the masses, but there were few ordinary people who could actually walk into the mourning hall to admire Chernenko’s appearance.

The first to arrive was naturally the members of the Politburo led by Gorbachev. They wore a red cuff with black border on their right arm, which was a symbol of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. As a ministerial official, Seryosha came with his colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. Because Seryosha was placed in the funeral committee by Gorbachev, several colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation expressed their gratitude. Liao Sha is a bit estranged, but Sergei doesn't care about these things anymore, because soon Gorbachev will make major adjustments to personnel affairs. At that time, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation will be completely subdued by Seriosha.

The worship ceremony lasted for two days. During these two days, meeting the envoys and representatives of various countries who came to attend the funeral became Gorbachev's most important work. The reception of these big names is Sergei's main official business these days.

The delegation from the United Kingdom was very familiar with Sergei, but Sergei didn't know them very well. But this does not prevent Sergey Sha from establishing a new friendship with them. Seryosha made an appointment with the trade official in the British delegation. Seryosha invited the other party to wait until after the funeral to go to the Ural Heavy Machinery Factory to inspect the landing of the steam turbine. The other party happily agreed.

During the funeral ceremony of General Secretary Chernenko, Sergei Shah was fortunate to stand on Lenin’s tomb overlooking the spectacular view of the entire Red Square. The phalanx of the masses in the distance was full of portraits of Chernenko and commemorative slogans.

Right above Lenin’s tomb, Gorbachev expressed his eulogy to the 200,000 people who came to the burial ceremony, remembering and summarizing the achievements of General Secretary Chernenko in his life.

Afterwards, everyone walked down the tomb of Ning and came to the back of a gun cart carrying the coffin of General Secretary Chernenko, and followed the slowly advancing gun cart around the field for three weeks. The coffin was then placed in the Cemetery of the New Saints.

The Politburo Standing Committee members with Gorbachev serving as Chernenko’s support, Gromyko and Gorbachev stood on the left and right sides of the first row, and Chernenko The relatives of the general secretary followed closely behind him.

The common people can only see the burial ceremony inside the Cemetery of the New Maidens on TV. Although Sergei can walk into the cemetery, he can only stand outside the crowd and watch.

The silence in the cemetery was broken by the sound of gunshots from the guards firing in tribute. After a round of gunfire, Chernenko’s relatives stepped forward to say goodbye to him, and then the coffin was closed~www.readwn .com~ Slowly put it into the tomb dug in advance, covered with floating soil, the leader of the red empire was so calm.

After Chernenko was buried, Gorbachev led everyone back to the top of Lenin's Tomb, because a grand military parade was about to take place. With Gorbachev's order, the honor guards of the three services passed through the Red Square in neat steps. When the guard of honor passed under Lenin's tomb, they would shout loudly: "Ula!"

Gorbachev took off his hat and held it in his hand, waving his salute to the soldiers of the Red Army, watching the army phalanx and Soviet weapons of various types passing on the Red Square. Representatives from various European countries gradually began to think differently. The Soviet Union’s powerful military strength is the sword of Damocles hanging over the European countries. Both Eastern and Western Europe were afraid of Soviet military power.

But now is not the time to consider the feelings of the representatives of these countries. The sudden death of Chernenko, who took office just a year ago, brought a huge blow to the people of the Soviet Union. A military parade can greatly enhance the confidence and pride of the Soviet people in the country.

Yeltsin quietly walked to Selesha's side, looked at the parade below, and said with emotion: "If our country can have fewer weapons, it would be great to invest funds in undertakings related to the national economy and the people's livelihood! "

"When you arrive in Moscow, you can go to Secretary Gorbachev to discuss these matters in person. By the way, how is the handover of our Workers' New City project now? When are you planning to take office?" .

"Yakovlev told me that I can come to Moscow next month, and you can't do without your help, brother Selesha!" Yeltsin said excitedly.

"That's for sure!" Sergey replied happily.
