After the meal, everyone still didn’t want to leave. They were enjoying the breeze and admiring the antique courtyard with a cup of tea in their hands. In the capital city at the end of August, the weather was much brighter. Although it was hot at noon, the courtyard was lined with green trees.

I don't feel hot either.

"What time does the flight depart from Nannan?" Liang Zi asked after taking a sip of tea.

"It was around two o'clock in the afternoon."

Grandma Liang said: "I'm leaving now. Study hard and come back soon. Don't let the family worry about you."

"Yeah! I know." Fang Monan knew that the old man was saying what his mother and the others said every time. After the meal, his mother became silent. The reluctance in his eyes could be seen by everyone. It was very clear.

Hurry, when Mobei and Auntie get used to it, she will come back and guard them.[

My mother remained silent and held up the teacup to block the tears that were about to fall.

Liang Zi looked at his watch and it was getting late, "You don't plan to see Ye Laosi anymore." She didn't ask him to notify anyone that she was in the capital.

"I'll leave this to you. After reading it, he will know how to do it." Fang Monan took out the file bag, which contained a lot of things she had written. I believe Brother Ye will know its value after reading it and what to do with it.

Liang Zi put Fang Monan on the plane, but her mother didn't go. She was afraid that she couldn't control herself. The first time the three of them left together, she didn't feel it. It took them half a year to know that they were no longer together.

The life of the three of them was so difficult.

When Ye Laosi got the news, Fang Monan's plane had already flown away. He hurried to the courtyard, where Liang Zi was waiting for him.

Liang Zi looked at him sweating profusely and panting, "Here are the things Nannan gave you." He put them on the table, "Don't think she is so miserable. Besides, she is on your property. Borrow a few.

We don’t dare to play tricks on you even if you are too brave.”

"Okay, take your time and see for yourself." Liang Zi stood up and passed by him, gently closing the door. After two months of getting along with him, we couldn't say we were close to each other, so we had a good friendship.

Ye Laosi sat down, wiped his sweat, and took two sips of tea. He opened Liangzi and handed him a brown paper bag. He tore open the opening and pulled out a stack of paper with the words 'Your Opportunity' written on it. Ye Laosi looked at it.

The eyes are getting wider and wider. Mainly about the Soviet economy, politics, military, nationality, etc.:

Due to the long-term implementation of a highly centralized planned economy, all five-year plans of the Soviet Union except for the first two five-year plans were not truly completed. The economic development rate declined rapidly in the post-war decades, and the gap with developed countries in the world also gradually increased.

The crisis is getting bigger and bigger. The Soviet Union has entered the predicament of long-term economic recession since the mid-1970s, and the traditional extensive economy cannot be maintained. It should be pointed out that this economic crisis is not a local short-term crisis in a certain field.

crisis, but an overall long-term crisis.

Although the Soviet Union is known as the "most developed socialist country", it has long been in short supply of major consumer goods. After more than 70 years of construction, the Soviet Union's per capita GNP was US$3,396 in 1985, not only lagging behind Western developed countries, but also lagging behind some countries in Asia and Latin America.

The per capita income of the Soviet Union is about one-third that of Western countries. However, due to the Soviet Union's policy of controlling consumption and high accumulation, the gap between the Soviet people's living standards and that of the West is even greater. In 1985, the per capita housing area was only 15 square meters, which was the highest in Western countries.

50%; the number of cars per 100 households is 14, which is only 1750% of that in Western countries. Major consumer goods are in chronic shortage and insufficient supply, and often need to be supplied on a voucher basis. The people's living standards have dropped from the fifth place in Europe before the revolution to the

In the 1980s, he ranked 88th in the world.

Although the Soviet Union has advanced aerospace, weapons and biotechnology, only 25 to 30% of scientific research results are used, and the average transformation cycle takes 10 to 12 years, while in the United States, 85% of scientific research results are transformed into productivity within 5 years. In

In the field of modern technology, the Soviet Union lags behind Western developed countries by 15 to 20 years, and the gap is getting wider and wider.

The technology of Soviet civilian industrial products is very backward and the quality of products is poor. Even according to the most optimistic estimates, only 18% of Soviet industrial products meet international standards. They are not competitive at all in the international market. Due to the lack of competitiveness of industrial products, the Soviet Union can only rely on sales

Natural resources, especially oil resources, earn foreign exchange and become a raw material exporting country.

Soviet agriculture has been backward and inefficient for a long time. Due to successive years of poor harvests, the Soviet Union was forced to spend foreign exchange, which was already a scarce resource, to import grain, spending more than 7 billion U.S. dollars every year, and the economy was stretched. At the same time, the scrap rate of Soviet agricultural tractors reached 125 per year.

%, three times that of the United States; a large number of crops are lost because they cannot be harvested in time. Even if they are harvested, 20% of the grain and 33% of the potatoes are rotten and spoiled due to poor storage every year, making them illegal to eat. In 1980, half of the collective farms in the country

And state farms are not profitable.

The Soviet Union was economically backward and lacked material. The people's living standards could not be improved for a long time, and the gap with the West was getting wider and wider. This fundamentally caused the people to waver in the superiority of socialism. Among the Soviet leaders, Andropov was the most

A rare man of understanding, he made a shocking statement at an internal meeting of the Soviet Communist Party: "The main danger to the Soviet Union does not come from world imperialism, but from the poverty of the people."

The excessive political centralization system put the CPSU, as the core of the alliance's leadership, in a political state that completely lacked a supervisory mechanism. The cadre appointment system and tenure system of the CPSU created a good environment for the formation of vested interest groups. The bureaucracy was overcrowded,

People were superfluous; vested interest groups engaged in corruption, bribery, and extravagance. The Soviet Communist Party gradually lost its prestige among the people. Especially in the Brezhnev era, the Soviet leaders were rigid in their thinking and stuck to the rules, which delayed the opportunity for development and reform, and domestic problems piled up.

Rushan. After entering the 1980s, the political crisis of the Soviet Union inevitably emerged: within just three years, three top leaders passed away one after another, and the sick man's rule caused the Soviet Union to lose precious development opportunities in the first five years of the 1980s.

Stalin's model of "socialism" did not bring a satisfactory life to the Soviet people, leading to people's resistance, disgust and indifference to the traditional model. This sentiment became even more pronounced when there was a huge contrast between the wealthy life of the upper class and the life of ordinary people.

It was so intense that people questioned the legitimacy of the rule of the Soviet Communist Party.

Tsarist Russia started by aggression and expansion, which made the Soviet Union the country with the most ethnic groups in the world, and the development of ethnic groups was extremely uneven. Many ethnic groups are still in the tribal stage, and ethnic issues have long been very acute. Both Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union have

Ethnic minorities have implemented high-pressure policies of oppression and assimilation.

In the 1970s, out of the need to compete with the United States for world hegemony, the Soviet Union engaged in an irrational arms race, causing military expenditures to reach a quarter of national income and shouldering a heavy burden. At the same time, the Soviet Union reached out everywhere to support

The pro-Soviet regime and guerrillas planned a military coup, which aroused widespread disgust in the international community. In 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and immediately fell into the quagmire of guerrilla war. This not only caused the Soviet Union a "bleeding wound" that could not be healed for a long time, but also cost the Soviet Union every year.

billions of rubles, and greatly damaged the Soviet Union's international image.

After Reagan came to power in 1981, he changed the original US contraction strategy and responded with a tough attitude to the expansion of the Soviet Union. He also announced that he would conduct research on the "Star Wars" project, setting off a new round of arms race climax. At this time, the Soviet Union, which was beleaguered internally and externally,

No longer able to cope, he was forced to carry out comprehensive contraction.[

There is also a satirical joke at the end. The Soviet Union is a train that cannot keep moving because the track has reached its end. Each leader dealt with the crisis in his own way; Stalin ordered the driver and conductor to be shot; Khrushchev

To vindicate them; Brezhnev closed the curtain and ordered the train to be rocked left and right, creating the illusion that the train was running; Gorbachev opened the curtain, leaned out and shouted: "There are no rails ahead.

There are no railroad tracks ahead!"

Ye Laosi read it over and over again. It was already sunset and the room was dark. He felt that this was completely impossible. Although diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union were severed, the fathers of the family still had deep feelings for Big Brother.

This is simply impossible, but the data is so careful that it cannot be fabricated. Besides, there is no need for her to fool him with this! This is no joke.

He just wants to make some money, there is no need to rise to the international level!

"This... this... we have to discuss it with someone." Ye Laosi called He Junyao. While waiting for someone, he read the stack of information word by word. He put his hands on the armchair and moved his fingers rhythmically.

He tapped the armrest gently and fell into deep thought.

When He Junyao arrived, the lights were already on. After he walked in, there was only a figure sitting on an armchair. "You kid knows how to enjoy yourself. How did you find such a good place?" Seeing that he didn't say a word, "What are you doing?

?Why are you pretending to be so deep?" He found the switch and turned on the light.

Ye Laosi was not used to the light, so he blocked it with his hand, narrowed his eyes and said: "Boss, you are here."

"I'll give you some information, but you have to be mentally prepared." Ye Laosi said mysteriously.

He Junyao took it over and sneered: "What kind of me are you kid..." His voice suddenly stopped. He browsed through it quickly. He looked at Ye Laosi and said, "Impossible!" He Junyao said in disbelief. "The Soviet Union

The external data is not what it looks like.”

"How is it impossible? Our country also pretends to be peaceful!" Ye Laosi curled his lips and said, although he felt uncomfortable, but this is a fact.

"Hey! You have such a mouth! You dare to say anything." He Junyao punched his chest. "What do you want?"

"Where did you get it? If the data here is true, it should be classified as top secret." He Junyao frowned and asked seriously.

"I don't know, someone else gave it to me, but a kid ran away after handing it to me." Ye Laosi lied without a blush on his face, because the last page had a note not to tell anyone that it was written by Fang Monan.

, you can make any excuse, Fourth Brother Ye. Even calling him Brother Ye to others, whether it is true or not, he has to be loyal and cannot betray her.

"Do you think I will believe it?" He Junyao raised his eyebrows and asked. "Forget it if you don't say it."

"Is this this? I want to confirm whether the data inside is true." Ye Laosi said, "Grandpa He has many connections. He has subordinates in the security intelligence system. Let's verify it."

"What if it is proven to be true?" He Junyao asked.

Ye Laosi chuckled, "That would make a fortune. You also know that our country has no shortage of what they need. I remember when Lao Maozi broke off diplomatic relations, he not only withdrew the experts, but also had to pay off the debt. I heard that when we used agricultural products to pay off the debt,

Eggs, potatoes, and apples must be passed through a sieve, and no matter whether they are too big or too small; pork must be soaked in fat, whether it is fat or thin, as long as it is just right.”

"You guy, don't get too happy too early. You have to verify the authenticity of the data first." He Junyao said rationally.

"Of course, if it doesn't work, I can just go to the Soviet Union and have a look." Ye Laosi was affected by the wonderful situation described in his heart.

"Don't forget, the relationship between the two countries is still frozen! If you go, you won't be afraid of being regarded as a spy." He Junyao poured a basin of cold water on it, "Be honest with me, or let me confirm it first, and then make a long-term plan."

"And where did you get the capital? The three walnuts and two dates in your hand are not enough to fill the gap between your teeth." He Junyao poured another basin of cold water.

"Is this... there will always be a way." Ye Laosi said, and then asked Liang Zi. "But boss, you'd better confirm it for me first!"

"Let's go then!" Ye Laosi said, and the two of them jumped on the military vehicle and quickly ran towards He Junyao's home.[

The military vehicle turned countless corners and finally entered a quiet alley with rows of courtyard houses on both sides. If it weren't for the guard standing straight at the door, I would have thought it had arrived at an antique tourist attraction. The He family is also a courtyard house.

, the courtyard was deep, and the early autumn night was slightly cool. After they got off the car, they hurriedly walked in.

The lights in the room were still on. Mr. He was sitting in the middle of the room. When he saw his grandson coming in, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. He always felt sorry for the child.

When he saw the monkey-like Ye Laosi behind him, he said kindly: "Why is Si'er here? But he hasn't been here for some time." Although his tone was kind, the old man had been in a high position for a long time and had accumulated great power. Ye Laosi sat down.

Sitting on his right side like a bell, he didn't dare to make any mistakes.

"Grandpa, it's so late and you haven't rested yet." He Junyao asked seriously with a straight face, "Where's grandma?"

"Your grandma needs to rest first," Mr. He said.

Mr. He was furious when he saw his coffin face, "Hey! Don't give me this dead face, I'll get angry when I see it." He was furious, especially when he saw his grandson's poker face.

My heart aches because such a good young man in the past cannot bear to look back on the past.

"Grandpa He, we have something to do with you." Ye Laosi said quickly.

"Something's wrong!" Mr. He raised his eyebrows and teased. "Did you make trouble again and dare not go home, so you came to find reinforcements."

"Grandpa He. In your eyes, Si'er is just a troublemaker. If something goes wrong, you have to call in reinforcements." Ye Laosi said dissatisfied.
