"The Soviet Union is finished. Let's make some money now and leave a way out for ourselves." Ye Kai said to General Dyanov.
At this time, Ye Kai was actually very depressed and quite unhappy.[]
He suddenly felt a little regretful about bringing his father Ye Ziping to Mingzhu. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong?
The Pearl City in Ye Kai's eyes is really far from the Pearl City in his impression.
At this time, Pudong had not yet begun to be developed. The entire city was like an overwhelmed old scalper, burdened with one-sixth of the central government's fiscal and taxation. However, urban construction has continued to stand still for nearly half a century.
The overall impression that Mingzhu City gave Ye Kai was that urban construction had been stagnant for a long time and the city's appearance was poor. When the Japanese Prime Minister visited Mingzhu City, he felt that the city's appearance seemed to be stuck at the level of the 1930s.
The housing structure in Mingzhu City is still dominated by old-style lanes, and nearly 20 million square meters of land need to be renovated.
The large number of old and dilapidated houses restricts the improvement of people's living environment and quality of life, while the backwardness of municipal public infrastructure hinders urban economic and social development.
Narrow roads, congested traffic, poor drainage, a severe lack of green space, and insufficient gas and communication supplies have long been troubled by the urban development of Mingzhu.
After Ye Kai came over, he took a helicopter from the military region and flew in a large circle over the entire Mingzhu City. He also took a lot of on-site photos. His face became very bad and his mood became less optimistic.
"Second Young Master, your face looks very bad." Cai Wu, who was accompanying Ye Kai on the "aerial inspection", couldn't help but say something when he saw Ye Kai's stinky face.
"No matter how bad my face is, it can't be as bad as the environment in Mingzhu." Ye Kai sighed.
If you only visit the most prosperous area of Mingzhu City, you still won’t feel how big the resistance is to the development of the entire Mingzhu City. However, if you look at it from the air, you can have a panoramic view of all the shabby houses, narrow and crowded.
The unplanned streets and factories mixed with residential buildings really made Ye Kai's heart feel chilly.
It covers an area of more than 6,000 square kilometers and has a population of 12 million in 16 districts and one county.
How much effort does it take to transform such a city into a pearl on the Pujiang River?
"But no matter what, Mingzhu City belongs to the old Ye family now." Ye Kai looked at the ground under his feet, suddenly full of pride, "For the future of the old Ye family, Mingzhu must rise! No one can stop us!"...
……,…………,……,…………,
When Ye Kai was worried about his father's acquisition of the Pearl, the Central Political Bureau was holding an emergency meeting.
It’s not that we didn’t expect the political situation in the coup in our northern neighbor, the Soviet Union, but when it actually happened, there would always be a strong and somewhat unbelievable emotion in everyone’s hearts.
In any case, various news coming from the Soviet Union showed that this huge socialist empire was indeed out of control.
Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev before the 8 concave incident was on vacation in his villa on the Crimean Peninsula.
After Gorbachev left Moscow for vacation, Soviet Vice President Yanayev and [Prime Minister] Pavlov became the top leaders in Moscow. In addition, important figures who still stayed in Moscow and worked in Moscow were the KGB [Main]
Shiklyuchkov, Defense Minister Yazov, Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Baklanov, Presidential Assistant Bolkin, Interior Minister Pugo and others.
These people all agreed that the new alliance treaty would make the country more dangerous. After about two weeks of secret preparations, on August 18, KGB agents secretly came to the Crimean Peninsula to ban Gorbachev.
, and cut off all contact with the outside world. Subsequently, under the auspices of Yanayev, the coup personnel gathered in the Kremlin and decided to establish a "National Emergency Committee."
Everyone in the Central Political Bureau is basically a figure who has been through the Sino-Soviet friendship period. They also have very complicated feelings towards the Soviet Union. They both feel that the Soviet Union has embarked on a wrong path, and at the same time feel sorry for the crisis of this former "big brother".
.
"If something unexpected happens, please ask Comrade Ye Xiangkun to talk about the situation first," Comrade Jiang Cheng said first.
The second old man, Ye Xiangkun, presides over the work of the Military Commission. He is also in charge of intelligence work here, so he naturally has to speak first.
"We have long been aware of the coup launched by Soviet Vice President Yanayev and others." The second old man, Ye Xiangkun, gave everyone a reassurance as soon as he came up.
In fact, Ye Kai has had in-depth exchanges with the second old man on this issue. Especially recently, Ye Kai went to the Soviet Union and had more in-depth discussions with General Dyanov, the head of the KGB in Kiev.
Through cooperation, we also obtained some internal information from the KGB.
Information from all sources indicates that a coup is inevitable in the Soviet Union.
Therefore, when the 819 incident happened, the second old man looked very calm and looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in his hands.
However, some people couldn't stand the look of the second old man. Xu Yongnian, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said, "Comrade Ye Xiangkun, since the Military Commission has been aware of this matter for a long time, why not submit it to the Central Political Bureau for discussion?"
Everyone nodded, thinking that for such a big matter, it should be necessary to inform the central government of the political situation. Why was the Military Commission silent?
Faced with this kind of cross-examination from the highest level, the second elder Ye Xiangkun remained very calm. He coughed and said, "Regarding the Soviet coup, the Military Commission believes that there is no need to make a fuss. If this coup can last for three days, they are considered powerful. Fundamentally,
From a political point of view, the so-called National Emergency Committee cannot be established at all... So we think there is no need to alarm the central government." "Three days?! Is this the collective opinion of the Military Commission?!" Chairman Xu Yongnian of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference listened and said,
Full of anger, he felt that the second old man was fooling him. "You must know that the people involved in the coup included Soviet Vice President Yanayev and [Prime Minister] Pavlov, in addition to KGB [Chief] Shikryuch
Kove, Minister of Defense Yazov, Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Baklanov, Assistant to the President Bolkin, Minister of the Interior Pugo and others, with such a huge force united, you think they can only insist on
Three days?! Comrade Ye Xiangkun, I don’t know where your confidence comes from?!”
The opinions of CPPCC Chairman Xu Yongnian also represent the aspirations of many committee members. Everyone is a little dissatisfied with the response of the Military Commission. How come there was no reaction in advance for such a big matter?
What is the Soviet Union? The largest socialist country in the world, the country with the longest border with the Republic. Once civil strife breaks out in the Soviet Union, the domestic military must make corresponding contingency measures, right? For example, mobilize the army and make changes.
Deploy forces, even light up the intercontinental ballistic missiles a little to play a certain deterrent effect, etc. You are better off now, saying nothing and not reacting at all. Is this what the Central Military Commission should do?
Of course, it is also possible that although the Military Commission made adjustments, it did not inform the central government of the political situation. This possibility also exists.
But that would be a bigger problem. The military has its own way of doing things, so does it have to break away from the leadership of the party?
Everyone in the conference room became energetic. They felt that what happened today seemed a bit unusual. Chairman Xu Yongnian of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference suddenly targeted Ye Xiangkun in such a high-profile manner. It seemed that he meant to point fingers at the old Ye family. Could it be that he was planning to take advantage of the situation? Taking this opportunity, he launched an attack on the entire Ye family?
The military power has always been the foundation of the Ye family. If we want to take down the second master Ye Xiangkun through this matter now, it is a good opportunity.
But when everyone looked at Ye Xianqian, they found that Mr. Ye looked calm and could not see any expression at all. For a moment, they felt a little hesitant. They wondered whether they should take advantage of this opportunity to add insult to injury?
The Ye family's power in the military is huge. If they themselves do something wrong and are taken down, they can't blame others.
"The Military Commission naturally has a set of rules and regulations of the Military Commission." The second old man said without any fear, his face darkened.
The second old man was also a former tiger general, and his aura was comparable to that of Xu Yongnian, the chairman of the CPPCC who was actually a civil servant. His face darkened, and it seemed that the temperature in the conference room had dropped several degrees.
At this time, many people realized that people who have been on the battlefield are different - they have murderous intent!
"You" CPPCC Chairman Xu Yongnian was pushed back by the second old man's words, his face turned pale.
In fact, there is only one person who can directly question the work of the Central Military Commission to Ye Xiangkun, the second elder, and that is Comrade Jiang Cheng, who also serves as the head of the Central Military Commission.
However, as the No. 1 commander, Comrade Jiang Cheng comes from the civilian system and does not have much say in the specific affairs of the military. What he wants to grasp is just the general trend, such as the power to appoint and remove personnel. As for the details, it is really not the Military Commission. The chief executive should pay attention.
"The Military Commission naturally has its own rules of conduct, but the matter is so important that it is reasonable for the Central Political Bureau to ask for intervention." Premier Yun suddenly spoke.
Mr. Ye said nothing, and Comrade Jiang Cheng seemed to be thinking about something and did not hear these words.
A cold light shone in the eyes of the second old man, and he thought that it was indeed true. The old Ye family had won the position of Secretary of the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee. Although no one had time to react at the time, when they thought about it now, everyone They all went into battle shirtless.
However, the second old man was not completely unprepared for this, so he reiterated his position: "The opinion of the Military Commission is clear. The Soviet coup is a farce. It will naturally end in three days. There is no need to discuss it, and there is no need for this." There is a need to make drastic adjustments to domestic defense.
As for the diplomatic response, it is not within the authority of the Military Commission, and we have no right to comment.
The second old man’s position is firm and his meaning is very clear. Our decision will definitely not be wrong because we are professionals. We will not participate in your decision because we are not professional.
Yun [Premier] and CPPCC Chairman Xu Yongnian listened to the second old man's words, and they were firm and unquestionable, but they could not do anything to him. As the second old man said, the Military Commission naturally has its own rules of conduct. Comrade Jiang Cheng If Chief No. 1 doesn't say anything, others can't do anything.
"Okay, three days, right? Then we'll see what happens!" Chairman Xu Yongnian of the CPPCC snorted.
He never believed that such a large-scale coup that affected the top leadership of the Soviet Union could not withstand even three days after imprisoning the president? Impossible!!
