The Soviets gave Ye Ziping's visit a very high standard of reception.
Although the two countries used to have a close relationship of comrades and brothers, after the 1960s, the relationship between China and the Soviet Union became relatively rigid. For a time, it was on the verge of a very dangerous war, and even local war conflicts broke out.
However, when fighting a wolf with a straw, both sides are afraid, so the situation is always controlled within a small area and does not ferment.
In recent years, life in the Soviet Union has been very difficult, and the unbreakable alliance has also shown signs of disintegration. Although Soviet President Gorbachev has been advocating a New Deal since he came to power, his New Deal actually abandoned the Communist Party of the Soviet Union's control of the Soviet Union.
leadership and the realization of parliamentary system, but in terms of economic construction, it is still unable to achieve anything.
When Ye Ziping, Ye Kai and his son stepped off the plane, important officials in Moscow had been waiting for a long time. After the Young Pioneers presented flowers, everyone exchanged greetings. I don't know if the other party understood them, anyway, even if they used some inappropriate words
, will also be automatically ignored by time-tested translators.
International affairs, in fact, is just the same thing. Everyone chats, eats, drinks, dances, and does some behind-the-scenes operations, and things are done.
If the reception is not good, then give the other party a try and find some awkwardness. In the end, it depends on who can't stand it first and admit defeat. Of course, what follows will be the signing of unequal treaties.
In the evening of the same day, the Vice President of the Soviet Union "Gennady Ivanovich Yanayev" personally met with Ye Ziping and his party. Ye Kai also sneaked in and participated in the meeting as a member of Minister Ye's entourage.
Yanayev was born in the village of Perevoz in Gorky Region in 1937. He is a Russian and graduated from the Gorky Agricultural College. He joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1962. Since 1986, he has served as Secretary and First Vice Chairman of the Central Council of All-Soviet Trade Unions.
,President.
At the 28th Congress of the CPSU in July 1990, Yanayev was elected as a member of the Central Committee of the CPSU for the first time. At the subsequent plenary session of the CPSU Central Committee, he was elected as a member of the Politburo and Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU in charge of international affairs.
.
At the 4th Congress of People's Deputies of the Soviet Union held in December of the same year, Yanayev was elected as the first Vice President of the Soviet Union.
This was the first time that Ye Kai met the Vice President of the Soviet Union face to face. As the second most important person in the Soviet Union under Gorbachev, in fact, his power as the Vice President was not very great, but more of a symbol.
sexual existence.
For example, if you grab a random person on the street and ask him who is the president of the Soviet Union, the other person will definitely say, "Oh, it's Gorbachev with the map of Europe tattooed on his head." And if you ask him who is the president of the Soviet Union,
Who is a vice president to say, "Hell, how would I know?!"
Yanayev is of medium height and has slightly bald hair. He has a "local support center" hairstyle, but compared to Gorbachev who is purely bald, his hair is much thicker.
It's just that the Russian spoken by the other party is really difficult to understand. Zi Ping has learned some Russian before and is probably able to have a simple conversation, but Ye Kai looks completely confused, and Zi Ping's translator doesn't speak loudly.
The meeting seemed like a secret conversation between Yanayev and Ye Ziping, which made people confused.
However, Ye Kai understood the general meaning. Yanayev meant that the people of China and the Soviet Union should strengthen economic and trade exchanges for mutual benefit and overcome difficulties, while Ye Ziping said that the traditional friendship between the people of China and the Soviet Union has a long history and should be
To consolidate and develop it, etc., especially in terms of publicity work, everyone should strengthen communication and interaction.
Ye Kai carefully observed the first and last vice president of the Soviet Union and felt that he did not look like a careerist. However, he did not know why he later launched a coup and placed Gorbachev under house arrest.
In response to the August 19 incident that shocked the whole world, the Soviet Union was disintegrated abruptly?
However, judging from Yanayev's series of actions after putting Gorbachev under house arrest, he neither mobilized the military to defend the victory, nor decisively executed Gorbachev, nor even cut off the water and electricity at Gorbachev's residence.
In terms of communications and communication, this coup is too childish.
Ye Kai was very doubtful whether the Vice President of the Soviet Union really knew how to write the word coup?
If some domestic cadres were allowed to operate it, the first thing after the coup would definitely be a bloody purge, which would destroy the channels of political opponents first before moving on to other things.
Generally speaking, the hospitality provided by the Soviet people is quite good, with high standards, high treatment, and high enthusiasm.
After the meeting, a press reception and a cocktail party were held, followed by a dance.
Ye Ziping's dancing skills were good, and he received a round of cheers from the Soviets. Ye Kai did not hesitate to give in, hugging several young Soviet girls, and performed several performances.
"How do you feel about girls from the Soviet Union?" After stopping, Zhong Liyu asked Ye Kai jealously.
Ye Kai laughed and said, "I can't compare with you. Their skin is rougher and their bodies are stronger. They are of the Yangma type and are not suitable for us Chinese."
After the dance ended, Ye Ziping talked with several leaders of the team about their recent work arrangements, and then told Ye Kai what he had seen and heard today.
"The Soviets seem to be very concerned about economic and trade exchanges. It seems that their life is really difficult." Ye Ziping said with some emotion.
"That's natural..." Ye Kai said in agreement, "When I came from the airport, I noticed that although the surrounding streets were under martial law, there were still long queues in some places. Those were the windows for receiving daily necessities.
, the life that people in the Soviet Union live today is much worse than that in our country."
"How could this happen?" Zhong Liyu asked in surprise, "The Soviet Union's industrial base is much stronger than ours, and it has the income from oil exports, so it won't be so miserable, right?"
Ziping didn't speak, but Ye Kai stood up and opened the hotel window.
A cold wind blew in, and everyone in the room shivered involuntarily.
Although it's already March, spring in Moscow is obviously still far away.
There was a faint sound of music outside the window. After listening carefully, it was the Soviet national anthem "Unbreakable Union". The music was majestic and resonant, but at this time, it seemed to have a desolate feeling like a hero who has gone and never returned.
"The unbreakable alliance is already riddled with holes and faced with many crises." Ye Kai said with great certainty, "The longevity of the great socialist empire cannot be extended beyond this year!"
