Chapter 702

If he had not experienced history, Xie liaosha would not have realized that everything would have happened so quickly. Romanian news has been continuously reported in the news. Seryosa couldn't believe his eyes. The Ceausescu family, who had ruled Romania for decades, was executed by the angry people in a month. In addition, all kinds of protests, demonstrations, and conflicts have caused endless disturbances to almost all countries in the socialist camp.

In democratic Germany, the Berlin Wall has completely become a decoration. The people of East Germany no longer have to risk their lives to go to West Germany. People drive in groups through the checkpoints near the wall and go to West Germany to buy goods. The police forces stationed in the wall do not even need to check any documents. After removing the stumbling block of honeck, the unified socialist party of Germany began to revise its constitution and give up the dictatorship system. The East German government has begun to prepare for a general election to decide the new ruling party in East Germany. According to the current situation, there is no possibility that the German unified socialist party can win the election.

In Czechoslovakia, at the request of the people, the Czech Communist Party also adopted the policy of amending the party constitution and abandoning the one file system. The reform direction of Czechoslovakia is almost the same as that of democratic Germany. They are also preparing for the first general election. Before the election, the Czech Communist Party has completely split into two new parties.

In addition, in Bulgaria, in Yugoslavia, and even in Albania, which broke with the Soviet Union, although the process is different, the overall context is the same. The people raised a large-scale protest, the Ruling Party chose to compromise and give up its ruling position, and then held a general election. The party that originally occupied the ruling position was completely defeated, and the party property was confiscated. The similarity of this process is amazing, and not only in Eastern Europe, but also in the southern neighbor of the Soviet Union, the people's Republic of Mongolia.

This series of changes at the door of the Soviet Union made the Soviet people feel at a loss. The Soviet Union is now the time when the baby boomers of the postwar era will grow up completely. Young people under the age of 40 are the absolute majority of the Soviet population. After seeing the series of changes in the homes of their neighbors and former allies, they also have more ideas about their own country. As early as the farce of the Baltic Sea Road was staged in Estonia, Latvian and Lithuanian countries, many Russians actually went to Pushkin square to support this act of splitting the country. And there are not a few young people in the Soviet Union who have been thoroughly brainwashed by the West.

Since the Tbilisi incident, armed repression has proved to be a dead end. Tbilisi incident once caused a great disturbance at home and abroad, and the Soviet Union almost fell into the mire of blockade and sanctions once again. Therefore, since the Tbilisi incident, although more large-scale conflicts broke out among the three Baltic countries, Gorbachev's leadership has always maintained restraint, and they always hope to solve the problems of the three Baltic countries through dialogue.

However, although Gorbachev intended to have a good talk with the leaders of the three Baltic countries. But others may not get this feeling. In Lithuania, the Communist Party of Lithuania launched a Soviet conference vote on whether to leave the Soviet Union. The move split the Lithuanian Communist Party into pro Soviet and anti Soviet camps. However, in Lithuania, after all, the Lithuanian nation occupied the vast majority, so the pro Soviet Camp was always in a weak position. Although the Central Committee repeatedly refused to recognize the voting results of the Lithuanian Soviet conference, the voting was held as planned.

As early as before the vote, Gorbachev and the high level of the Soviet Communist Party delivered successive speeches, announcing that no matter what the result of the vote at the Lithuanian Soviet conference was, the central committee refused to recognize the result of the vote. At the end of the voting, the result also came out. About 70% of the representatives of the Supreme Soviet of Lithuania took part in the voting, and more than half of them were in favor of independence. Just after the end of the Lithuanian vote, the Lithuanian government officially declared that Lithuania had seceded from the Soviet Union and become an independent country.

Although the news of Lithuania's declaration of independence had long been expected by seryosa, he still felt something unspeakable in his heart. However, seryosa clearly realized that the most important issue for the Soviet Union is not the independence of Lithuania, but the social unrest caused by the failure of economic reform. Only when the economy improves can social contradictions be calmed down. This is also the reason why Xie liaosha has never been enthusiastic about his official career. I'm afraid that sitting in the position of Soviet leader is no different from sitting on the crater. Once the crisis broke out, I'm afraid it's hard to say whether I can save my life. In front of me, Ceausescu is a good example. Xie liaosha knows that he has too many secrets to tell. If he really wants to be the leader of the Soviet Union, he will put his past under a microscope for others to observe. At that time, he will participate in money laundering, collude with drug dealers and mafia, even smuggle arms and steal the Soviet Union's treasury. As long as any one of them is exposed, he and her lover will be happy, Brothers will die without a burial place. It is because he understands the danger of being a leader that he is not enthusiastic about politics. In the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, he pushed Yeltsin to the front stage and let Yeltsin inherit the political capital created by himself.

Although Lithuania declared independence, no sovereign country in the world has recognized the fact of its independence. However, there is no legal basis for independent voting in Lithuania. Because according to the declaration and treaty signed when the Soviet Union was founded, as well as the Soviet Union's previous constitutions, all the Soviet Union's republics have the right to freely withdraw from the union. Therefore, Gorbachev cannot deny the legitimacy of Lithuanian independence unless he uses force.

The Lithuanian independence incident is not an isolated incident, because now Estonia, Latvia, Georgia and Moldavia are all observing the next move of the central government. Once Lithuania really becomes a sovereign state, these areas will be completely out of the control of the Soviet Union. Most of these areas are also occupied by a single ethnic population. The Russians are not the main population in these areas, and Stalin's ethnic policy was not carried out thoroughly in these areas.

In order to cope with the impending tide of independence, Gorbachev and the Politburo decided to hold the national election of the 28th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the head of government in advance. Gorbachev hoped that this meeting would bring more different voices into the party and the Supreme Soviet conference, and deal with these contradictions through frank communication and discussion. However, before the 28th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Gorbachev must calm down the enthusiasm of young people in China to participate in politics and return to his work.
