Chapter 122 Winning Corrosion
Not long after Yeltsin's televised speech was broadcast, a reprimanding phone call from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union directly hit Yeltsin's office. Ligachev said angrily on the phone: "Yeltsin , You idiot, do you know what you are doing? Do you still have party spirit and principles!
"Secretary Lijiaqiaofu, it is precisely because I have party spirit and principles and respond to the call of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China that I made this matter public to the people of Moscow. The people have the right to know when they You can live in your own new house, which is not mentioned in your official documents, I think you'd better inform the lower-level organizations like our Moscow City Committee..." Yeltsin said quietly on the phone ***************'s publicity made Ligachev go back.
"You..., you just wait to check all the members on ***********!" Ligachev then slammed the phone down. Yeltsin is not afraid at all now, he is now using the political views of the Communist Party of China to oppose the administrative views of the Communist Party of China. Red Flag, but what time is it now? Now is the time when those pro-Western intellectuals are chasing after the Communist Party. Who dares to say that Yeltsin is not responding to a public call? He also dared to say that Yeltsin was wrong to do so.
The counterattack on Yeltsin's side has already begun, and Seryozha's side is not idle. At his request, a reporter from Komsomolskaya Pravda interviewed Yeltsin overnight, representatives of some residents in the Workers' New City, and workers on the construction site of the Workers' New City. Then a special issue was sorted out, and the newspaper was distributed through the Soviet postal system before dawn. The next morning, the news of the suspension of work in the Moscow Workers' New City became a big news that caused a sensation throughout the country.
In Gorky, those citizens who bought the bonds of the new city of Moscow workers went to the Gorky state government to ask for an explanation. In Moscow and Leningrad, some intellectuals who sympathized with Yeltsin also took up their pens and joined the condemnation of Liga Among Geoff's ranks.
Although Ligachev had already made some mental preparations, he couldn't come up with any good solutions for the sudden bad influence that spread all over the country!
If Seryozha's counterattack only had such a little energy, then Ligachev would not take much effort to resolve it. Although Yeltsin is an alternate member of the Communist Party, in terms of strength, Yeltsin and Liga Geoff was very different. In order to support Yeltsin to the maximum extent, Seryozha also prepared a series of backhands.
It is almost the end of the year at this time, and one month later will be the New Year-Christmas holiday that the Soviet people look forward to every year. And at the juncture of this festival, the units of each system more or less have to give some benefits to the workers. Taking the coal system as an example, they use the tertiary production company under the Ministry of Coal Industry to purchase New Year gifts from the skilled tertiary production company of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and the ministries and commissions of other systems basically do the same. Seryozha now plans to make a fuss about these benefits.
In a box at the Moscow Hotel, Seryozha consulted with the Minister of Coal Industry about dealing with Ligachev,
The other party rushed over full of doubts, and as soon as they met, they asked Yeltsin if Sergey knew about the matter on Yeltsin's side. Seryozha did not answer his question. He said with a relaxed expression, "Mr. Minister, I would like to ask you to do a small thing for me!"
"Don't dare, Seryozha, as long as I don't stand up against Secretary Lijiaqiao like Yeltsin, I can do anything!" The Minister of Coal Industry looked at Seryozha with wandering eyes. I was afraid that Sergey would also push him to the foreground to confront Ligachev head-on. If so, he, the Minister of Coal Industry, would really not be able to refuse. Now Britain is a big buyer of coal imports from the Soviet Union. The Ministry of Coal Industry has no way to sell coal to the British, but Ligachev is not easy to mess with... What an embarrassment!
"Don't worry, the things I explained are not difficult to handle! Don't you give coal workers some benefits every month? I remember there are vodka, soap, masks, work shoes, etc., Mr. Minister, I want you to give all these benefits Cancel it for me..." Seryozha raised his glass and toasted to the minister of the Ministry of Coal Industry.
"Don't worry, Xie Liaosha, I'm sure you'll handle such a small matter properly!" The Minister of Coal Industry breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the workers' welfare had only been stopped, and then thought about it again. This kind of thing is not difficult to do, and Ligachev can still be disgusting and disgusting. Even if it becomes a big trouble, he has no responsibility. Let Ligachev take the blame for this!
After talking about the business, Seriosha dismissed everyone in the room except the Minister of Coal Industry, and then said to the other party in a low voice: "Mr. Minister, this time we are talking to **** I know what you're thinking, you're thinking that maybe you can do what Ligachev asked you to do, and you might get promoted, but what's the use of that? It's only tens of thousands of rubles a year. Mr. Minister, I have here a draft of one million rubles from the VTB Bank, which is payable at sight to anyone who holds it. If you stand on our side in this conflict, every one of you You can receive this amount every month, if you choose to betray us for the extra tens of thousands of rubles every year, do you still remember Secretary Xie Lepin?" Xie Liaosha changed the subject and suddenly mentioned Xie Lepin. If this name was placed more than ten years ago, it would definitely be a well-known figure. At that time, Shelepin was the youngest Communist Party member and the most popular candidate for the general secretary. Even Brezhnev wanted him three times. However, it was such a person who was kicked out of the Communist Party by Brezhnev in the end, and then could only do nothing to wait for retirement. Not long ago, it was suddenly reported in Moscow political circles that Shelepin had Prices in Moscow are too high and I want to move back to Voronezh.
What Seryozha said was to tell the other party what the world is like now. With the tens of thousands of extra wages, you can't buy anything in Moscow. You might as well rely on me and follow me to earn some money for your future retirement life. prepare!
At this moment, the Minister of Coal Industry once again rang out Brezhnev's famous saying-none of us can live on wages.
