Soviet Godfather

Vol 5 Chapter 118: Tough Ligachev

Ligachev wants to reclaim the financial resources in the hands of the Moscow State Ministry to replenish the treasury, but this kind of thing is so easy. Within a few days, complaints from various ministries and commissions flew to the desks of the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the CPSU.

Ligachev didn’t need to look at it to know what these people were thinking about, but the heads of these ministries took it for granted. Without the support of Comrade Gorbachev, how could Ligachev calculate the work of these ministries on his own initiative? Small vault.

Ligachev's estimate was good, and it didn't take long for Gorbachev to send all the letters sent to him. Gorbachev didn't even read these letters. After a while, Gorbachev's special line directly called Lijiachev's office.

"Comrade Ligachev, don't be intimidated by temporary difficulties. Reforms always require some choices. I hope you can withstand the pressure and carry forward the cause of national fiscal reform..." Gorbachev said The tone on the phone was very determined, and he stood firmly on Ligachev's side during the conversation. If Selesha knew Gorbachev's current attitude, he would definitely be surprised.

Why did the general secretary, who has always supported Selesha, suddenly join forces with Ligachev? In the final analysis, it was forced by the huge financial loophole caused by the Chernobyl incident. In fact, speaking of the relationship between Ligachev and Gorbachev, both of them were reused in Andropov’s era. In Chernenko’s era, the two also once joined hands against those in the party. A high-ranking "old man". Ligachev and Gorbachev had many similarities, but when Yakovlev was assigned to the secretariat to take charge of ideology, Ligachev and Gorbachev inevitably faced a break.

Ligachev was responsible for party affairs for a long time when he was working in the local area. As a firm member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Ligachev never thought that the Soviet socialist road pioneered by Lenin and Stalin would have any problems. Ligachev has an instinctive resistance and vigilance towards the West. He rarely goes abroad. He is full of opinions about the possibility of "Rightists" like Yakovlev being able to enter the highest leadership of the Soviet Union.

But both Ligachev, Gorbachev, and even Yakovlev were deeply worried about the difficulties faced by the Soviet Union's economy. However, the three people’s judgments on the direction of reform are quite different. Ligachev always believes that the reform should continue as Secretary Andropov and Secretary Chernenko were alive, and Yakovlev has lived in Canada for ten years. In 1988, I was very envious of this vast country with no ambitions. Canada is a typical welfare society. Although there is not much right to speak in international affairs, its people live a happy life. Yakovlev believed that the Soviet Union should not take on too many responsibilities without national interests, such as leading the socialist camp and confronting the West, as well as an arms race with the United States. In Yakovlev’s opinion, this is important for improving the quality of life of the people. No benefit.

Gorbachev gave Ligachev a shot on the phone. Ligachev felt a touch of warmth in his heart. The last time the two said that they lived when Chernenko was alive, someone ran to him. Chernenko's bed went to talk about Gorbachev's slander, and it happened that Lijiachev knew about it. Ligachev took the initiative to call to remind Gorbachev to report to the General Secretary on time. At that time, neither of them would have thought that there would be such a big difference in political views in the future.

"Secretary, how do we reply to the official letters sent by these ministries?" Ligachev's secretary found an opportunity and cautiously asked for advice.

"Just tell them that this matter was set by the central government. They understand that they must implement it, but they must implement it if they don't understand it! And not only must it be implemented, but it must be implemented meticulously in accordance with the requirements of the Secretariat. I will see it before the end of the month Each department handed over the accounts of these companies under their own to the State Planning Economic Commission, and whoever doesn’t hand it over, I’ll be removed from the post!” Ligachev said categorically. This is something that Gorbachev won. With the support of the secretary, Ligachev had long wanted to manage these ministries that used their power to make a fortune.

When Seryosha received a reply from the Secretariat of the Central Committee, he angrily tore the official letter to pieces. In his reply, Ligachev not only asked him to hand over the Mediterranean Trading Company to the Central Committee, but also asked him to hand over the management of the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank to the Soviet State Planning Economic Committee. This matter is to completely evade the rhythm of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.

Sergey Sha will not compromise with Ligachev in any way. The Mediterranean Trading Company controls the important task of exporting by enterprises affiliated to other ministries and commissions, and the VTB is an important tool for Sergey and these ministries to divide the spoils. Ligachev Where does the self-confidence come from to take away the rights in their hands.

"Yulia, get the car, I'm going to the Kremlin!" Sergey said to Yulia, picking up the phone, because Nasja was sent to London to take charge of the work of the Foreign Trade Bank in the UK, so Sergey temporarily took Yulia, who had a good impression, brought back to Moscow as her secretary. Yulia is naturally full of expectations for being able to work in the state ministries and commissions in Moscow. As for his business in Ukraine, Yulia is not worried, as long as Yulia can hold Selesha’s thigh~www.readwn.com ~ He didn't take his own videotape and the partner of the chain company swallowed her profits.

After receiving Sergei Sha’s instructions, Yulia immediately contacted the driver to prepare to set off. Along the way, Sergei kept writing and drawing on the notebook with paper and pen. He was thinking about how to persuade Gorbachev to let Ligachev take his life back.

The car slowly bypassed the Red Square and drove into the inner city of the Kremlin through the heavily guarded side door. Sergei's special car stopped near the last cordon. The guards first saluted a military salute, and then politely asked Seryosha to show his credentials.

"May I ask what happened recently? Why has the inspection suddenly become so strict?" Yulia was not here for the first time, he asked the guard curiously.

"I don’t know. We did this in accordance with the requirements of the staff around the General Secretary. The Secretariat said that the General Secretary has done too much work recently. In order to arrange time for the General Secretary to rest well, they asked everyone Visitors who come to visit the General Secretary must wait here for arrangements!" The guard explained patiently.

"Sorry, the general secretary is receiving foreign guests, I'm afraid he can't see you today!" Yulia and the guards were talking, a major officer walked out of the room and saluted Seriosha, then said apologetically. ...
