Chapter 693

Poland and Hungary, betrayed from the socialist camp, were naturally resisted by the socialist countries headed by the Soviet Union, but the United States was quite interested in them. No, just after Walesa was elected the new Polish Prime Minister, the new US President Bush took the initiative to visit Hungary and Poland.

In Hungary, Bush promised to grant Hungary trade MFN treatment, and provide Hungary with an annual aid fund of 1 billion US dollars. This makes the Hungarian government, which is suffering from the economic downturn and insufficient supply, feel very close. The old Bush's set is also effective for Poland. As an old friend of the United States, the Solidarity Union in Walesa has benefited the American people in recent years. However, the preferential treatment in international trade has reassured the Polish government and Walesa himself. For Vanessa, who has just come to power, Bush's guarantee seems to have put a safety lock on her first term as prime minister. At least in terms of economic construction, Vanessa believes that she can turn the tide.

Since the opening of the border between Austria and Hungary, a large number of East Germans have fled to West Germany through the border. At the same time, in East Germany, the strike and demonstration activities again and again pushed the leader of East Germany to the crater of the volcano. Even the ruling party of East Germany, the unified socialist party of Germany, had the voice of letting him step down. This is just another version of Hungary's recall of Kadar.

Strikes and demonstrations for reform spread from one country to another like a plague. In Romania, six former leaders of the Romanian Communist Party openly opposed the dictatorship of Ceausescu. Although the Romanian secret police are well-known in the socialist camp, almost as famous as the KGB, people are still fearless of danger and rush to join the camp against Ceausescu.

In Bulgaria, both inside and outside the party are full of calls for the resignation of Todor zhevkov, the first Secretary of the Communist Party of Bulgaria. Zhevkov, like Kadar, has been the first Secretary of Bulgaria for a long time. Although Bulgaria has been carrying out reform since the 1960s, the reform of zhevkov has not brought any positive changes to Bulgaria, Both comrades in the party and ordinary people have lost patience with zhevkov. However, zhevkov was still unwilling to step down from the position of first secretary.

In Czechoslovakia, a public demonstration was held to commemorate the victims of the Soviet Union's invasion of Prague 20 years ago. At the event, the death of a college student triggered more rioting. In Yugoslavia, the relationship between Kosovo and Serbia is just another copy of Georgia's time. Even Albania, whose relations with the Soviet Union were broken, was in turmoil.

The blooming color revolution has made the socialist camp begin to crumble. The growing domestic democratic separatism made the Soviet Union have no stable political environment for economic construction. People are addicted to political activities such as protests and demonstrations. Who will farm, who will work in factories, and who will teach in schools?

The Soviet Red Army stationed in Hungary and Poland is no longer sustainable. Their camp is now surrounded by local troops. The slightest carelessness may lead to armed conflict. The American pledge gave Hungary and Poland the courage to say no to the Soviet Union. They even gave the Soviet government an ultimatum to withdraw all its troops within a time limit, otherwise they would send their own troops to help them leave their homeland. He couldn't see Hungary and Poland's successful faces. He personally called Gorbachev and asked the troops stationed in the two countries to raise the alert level. Xie liaosha was moved by the cold winter in the Soviet Union. Nearly 200000 troops from the two countries could only live in tents in the cold wind of Siberia if they returned home. However, Gorbachev remained unmoved. In the end, it was Shevardnadze who negotiated with the governments of the two countries for some resettlement expenses.

When the Polish garrison returned to Leningrad by boat, seryosa went to the dock to meet him. There were no welcoming people at the scene, because they were not the winners of the war for their country. Now they are just the troops expelled by Poland, and they have the same mood as those who came back from Afghanistan.

Xie liaosha gave a speech on the spot. He assured these people that they would have their own jobs when they returned to China. Although the Leningrad special economic zone is still a blank, they can build their own homes with their own hands.

Almost overnight, he had 200000 more construction workers, who set up tents around the newly built urban roads in Leningrad. In order to live in the relatively warm banjianfang when winter really comes, Xie liaosha sent countless orders to almost all the factories that can produce banjianfang in the country. He even mobilized carts to build houses in Leningrad. At the same time, Yeltsin, nasja and other cadres of the Leningrad special economic zone are all working on the construction of the front-line management board.

Under Yeltsin's excellent management, the resettlement work and construction work have always gone hand in hand. The first phase of the Leningrad petrochemical project and the Leningrad natural gas terminal have finally completed the construction work and officially put into operation, while a number of supporting resettlement residential projects have also been successfully completed. Leningrad Special Economic Zone finally has some decent demonstration projects.

The completion of the first batch of projects has given foreign investors a reassurance. In particular, the completion of the natural gas terminal has made Leningrad the largest natural gas trading market in the Baltic Sea and Northern Europe. Almost the day after the completion of the natural gas terminal, Enron, a new upstart of natural gas power generation in the U.S. market, signed a 10-year supply contract with Soviet natural gas Konzern led by chernomyrkin, with a total value of more than 10 billion US dollars.

At the same time, Gorbachev was more convinced that the Leningrad special economic zone was the right way of economic reform in the Soviet Union. Gorbachev's trust and dependence on shariosha increased, and his hostility to Yeltsin also eased.

Under the temptation of money, seryosha finally fulfilled his promise. Before the first snowfall in the Soviet Union, all the workers in Leningrad lived in prefabricated houses. The workers knew who was the reason why they didn't live in tents in the snowstorm. Although the prefabricated houses were still cold, they had at least some hope. Now every time Xie liaosha comes to inspect the construction situation, a large number of people spontaneously come to greet him. Xie liaosha enjoys this feeling from the bottom of his heart. Even if he earns several trillion dollars in Japan, there is no red scarf tied around his neck by the workers' children on the construction site to make him happy.
