Chapter 453

To tell you the truth, just relying on the interview at yakolev's house, seliosha didn't feel how outstanding gedar was. Being able to read and be able to do are two concepts. However, since he has agreed to take over Gaidar and the other party is an expert from the National Economic Reform Commission, Xie liaosha has already figured out a wonderful position to deal with this guy, that is, chief economist of the Bank of foreign trade. Since economic theory is Gaidar's strong point, let Gaidar, as chief economist, wave the flag and shout for Xie liaosha's foreign trade policy!

February in Moscow is cold, and in New York thousands of miles away, February is also not a warm season. But gromico's heart is as hot as midsummer. Just after he came to the United States with expectation, as expected, the Secretary of state of the United States secretly contacted him. He also told gromico a great piece of good news. Reagan, the successful re elected president of the United States, wanted to meet him to discuss the mutual trust and regional security between the two countries.

How gromico wanted to immediately disclose the news to the media all over the world and comrades of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union! But gromico just held back, because the Americans chose to meet in secret. What's more, gromico doesn't know what conditions the Americans are going to put forward. What if the talks break down during the meeting and make the relationship more stiff, or the American lion opens his mouth?

Gromico finally consulted General Secretary Chernenko. When Chernenko learned the news, he was extremely excited. He had long been tired of the arms race with the Americans. Although Andropov took office as General Secretary for a short time, some of Andropov's reform measures are very effective. If the Americans are willing to let the Soviet Union take a breath in the arms race, the Soviet Union's economy may be able to return to the normal track.

Gromico quickly left the UN General Assembly to his aides, but he did not show up. Gromico hoped that there would not be too much news leaked from the media before the meeting. Mainly because gromiko didn't want Gorbachev's people to notice.

And what is Gorbachev doing these days? He is now busy receiving central committee members who have come to Moscow one after another to attend the Supreme Soviet Congress. Gorbachev's successor position has now been basically determined, and general secretary Chernenko's inability to manage politics for many years has given Gorbachev more rights. Now Gorbachev's terms of reference include agriculture, economy, education, ideology and foreign affairs. His efforts over the past year have been seen by all, especially after Gorbachev's return from Britain. Basically, everyone has regarded him as the successor of general secretary Chernenko.

The Supreme Soviet Congress gave Gorbachev and local cadres an opportunity to get to know each other. Of course, there are not a few central committee members who have taken the initiative to come to the door and work hard. Gorbachev doesn't want to make a vow to be an official and cause trouble for himself. He just wants to continue to consolidate his position in a low-key way.

Gorbachev is waiting, gromiko is waiting, and so is shariosha. However, general secretary Chernenko, who should have grasped the overall situation, is now trying to adapt to breathing in the ward.

Chernenko has severe emphysema. As early as when Andropov was running for the next leader after his death, Chernenko concealed his illness from the comrades of the Party Central Committee and the Political Bureau. Chernenko had thought that he would have time to complete the mission entrusted to him by history and lead the Soviet Union out of difficulties, but he did not have the time.

The supreme leader of the Soviet Union will never retire, and only the moment of his death will he be released. Since Chernenko's illness worsened, almost every public activity will torture him to death. At the October revolution memorial ceremony, Chernenko stood on Lenin's tomb for nearly three hours in the cold wind and heavy snow. When he came back, Chernenko couldn't even believe he was alive.

Chernenko is now worrying about how to deal with the next Supreme Soviet Congress. This is the last Supreme Soviet meeting of the twenty Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It is impossible for Chernenko not to attend at all. Now he is even a little afraid of these activities. For the first time, he feels the torture brought by rights. Khrushchev, who was ousted from power, and Brezhnev, who was elevated after a stroke, must have experienced this feeling. Now it's Chernenko's turn.

In this year, Gorbachev miraculously changed from Chernenko's opponent to Chernenko's reliable partner. On the contrary, gromico became the biggest obstacle in the process of Chernenko's economic reform.

Looking back on gromiko's deeds in the past year, he tried every means to block Gorbachev's visit to Britain and Western Europe to improve relations. He also prevented East German leader Ehrlich onak from going to West Germany for a historic meeting with West German leader Willy Brandt. It seems that gromico did not want to give the Soviet Union a moment's respite.

Chernenko is temporarily forgetting his illness because of the divergence of thinking in his mind. At this time, a knock on the door makes Chernenko pay attention to his physical pain again.

"General secretary, this is the document sent by the Kremlin today!" A secretary put a large pile of documents at Chernenko's feet. Chernenko raised his hand, and the other party immediately understood what Chernenko meant. So he began to read it to Chernenko sentence by sentence. When Chernenko listens to the whole document, if he nods and agrees, the Secretary will use the photocopier to add Chernenko's autograph at the end of the document.

"Am I not deceiving myself?" Chernenko's heart suddenly sighed.

In this way, the efficiency of handling official business is extremely slow. It won't be long before Chernenko will lose patience and ask the Secretary to sign all the documents directly. As a matter of fact, Chernenko's habit has spread all over the world. If the Politburo doesn't want Chernenko to veto any issues, just put this document at the bottom.

Although Chernenko has tried his best to prove his existence, in fact, he has been elevated by the staff around him and the Politburo. Chernenko doesn't even have the strength to sign now. It seems that he still controls everything. In fact, he is just doing useless work.
