the world is at stake

"I'm a reporter, a Chinese reporter. I was ordered to cover the current Russia, but I couldn't find a suitable news topic. So I came out late at night, looking for an ordinary Russian to talk about the current political situation."

Oh... Aunt Maozi showed an expression of enlightenment, and after accepting the US dollars delivered to her, she burst out with a sentence that shocked Zhou Qingfeng.

"The reformed Russian Communist Party is great, and I firmly support the current General Secretary Sobchak. A powerful Russia is still a formidable force in the world."

what?

Sobchak is that onion?

Shouldn't the current boss of Russia be 'drunkard' Yeltsin?

Zhou Qingfeng asked tentatively, "Ma'am, what do you think of Gorbachev?"

Aunt Maozi immediately said angrily: "That's a despicable coward, a capitulator, we all misunderstood him. Fortunately, he has been executed, otherwise the country will definitely be destroyed by him."

'Map header' dead?What has Martha messed up in the world?

"And Yeltsin?"

"Ah... You mean the insider, the scab, the criminal who tried to collude with the West and betray our national interests? It's the greatest regret that he couldn't be brought to court. He died too easily."

Yeltsin is dead too?

Zhou Qingfeng asked several names in a row, and found that most of the familiar names during the disintegration of the Soviet Union were gone.The new politicians were all unknown to him.

Until Aunt Maozi in the bookstore introduced General Secretary Sobchak who was "great, wise, wise, and decisive, and saved Russia in the double crisis of politics and economy"...

Seeing the portrait of the general secretary of the Russian Communist Party, Zhou Qingfeng's eyes straightened in shock—isn't this the teacher of Putin the Great, Anatoly Alexandrovich Sobchak?

The former Soviet People's Representative, Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Soviet Legislative Council.He was elected chairman of the Supreme Soviet of Leningrad in 1990 and became the first mayor of St. Petersburg after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

This guy is now the general secretary of the Russian Communist Party?

Wait... the Russian Communist Party is still in power now?Doesn't it become a symbolic existence like a 'Chihuahua'?

Zhou Qingfeng had no choice but to shell out another hundred dollars, expressing that he would like to hear the enthusiastic aunt's views on the social and economic changes in recent years.

The drowsy Aunt Maozi suddenly became full of energy. After taking the money, she deliberately made a pot of coffee, found a can of pickles and two pieces of bread, and took out a large bottle of vodka by the way.

The coffee was for Zhou Qingfeng, and the bread was for cushioning his stomach.The vodka is aunt's own, and the pickles are the appetizers.After taking a sip of spirits and chewing on half of a pickle, the story begins.

The '91 coup' in 8.19 was successful. At that time, the general secretary of the CPSU and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev was arrested by the coup forces, and was soon publicly sentenced and sentenced to death.

During the coup, the then Russian President Yeltsin accused the coup of being illegal, stopped the army's tanks from advancing in front of the parliament building, and even tried to climb on the tanks to give a speech - he was shot in two by anti-aircraft machine guns and died on the spot.

But the conservatives of the Soviet Communist Party who led the coup had no good fruit.Defense Minister Marshal Yazov, KGB leader Kryuchkov and other hard-line members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union were also arrested later.

Behind the scenes is Sobchak's St. Petersburg gang. The important reason for the success of its forces is that they have money, and they forcibly bought powerful departments such as the military, police, and constitutional special forces by spending money.

The reason why Sobchak is rich is that one controls the state-owned banks, and the other is...

"The privatization reform of state-owned enterprises implemented by General Secretary Sobchak has won the recognition of the Western world and received large investments from Europe and the United States. Moreover, he followed the trend of democracy, disbanded the Soviet Union, and lost those lagging republics."

Make trouble for a long time or disintegrate?

Zhou Qingfeng was dumbfounded when he heard this.He asked quietly: "Ma'am, do you know a man named Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin?"

"I know." Aunt Maozi had a strange expression, "Your Excellency Putin is our deputy prime minister in charge of economic reform, how could I not know?"

Good guy, if Emperor Pu was not playing tricks behind this, Zhou Qingfeng would be able to kill him head-on.

Isn't it Putin's style of spending money to win over violent institutions, privatize and buy off the bureaucracy, and strive to promote reconciliation with the West.

Originally, the Great Emperor should have suppressed the communist forces forcefully, but now he himself has usurped the leadership of the Russian Communist Party, and he has thrown away those poor republics like a burden, instead strengthening their status.

According to Aunt Maozi, the Russian Communist Party has not even suppressed the Chechen rebellion in the first place. Instead, it is adopting soft measures to stabilize the situation, not to get involved in wars easily, to build good relations with other countries in the world, and to strive to restore national strength.

Now China's economy and national defense are still in a mess, and there is no time to back-to-back with Russia. Getting closer to Europe and the United States is Maozi's only choice.

In the bookstore there were many reports about Russia's political situation and economy in recent years. Aunt Mao Zi translated Russian into English and read them to Zhou Qingfeng.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Russian economy did suffer a major blow.But it is far from the tragic situation in the original history where the currency depreciated wildly, the inflation was more than 2000 times, and residents' savings became waste paper overnight.

According to Aunt Maozi, Deputy Prime Minister Putin's economic reforms have been very effective. The market is much richer than before, the economy is recovering, and the lives of ordinary people are still guaranteed.

"Then why Martha dragged the task into the second stage, she has already succeeded."

"Wait...the Soviet Union fell apart. This mighty, clumsy mud-footed giant fell apart anyway."

"Soviet state-owned enterprises were completely privatized, and the wealth accumulated by the people for decades was swallowed by oligarchs."

"Whoever does not feel sorry for the disintegration of the Soviet Union has no conscience; whoever wants to restore the former Soviet Union has no brains. This is what Emperor Putin said."

When Zhou Qingfeng walked out of the street bookstore with more doubts, he realized that Emperor Pu and Martha might have different ideas.No political strongman will accept the fate of being manipulated, he must want to dominate the world by himself.

"So, could it be that Emperor Pu came together with the British guy? If not, Martha's mission cannot fail, and she won't enter the second stage."

"Insidious and cunning British guy who is also good at being a shit-stirring stick. It is really the style of a corrupt country to split the 'Holy Alliance'. If you can't defeat your opponent, you will create civil strife for your opponent."

"Martha said that she made a big bet for the second stage, and said that my team can arrive in 24 hours. What is she going to do?"

Just when Zhou Qingfeng was in a daze, the boat that Martha was on docked, and after several transfers, it stopped at the door of an unremarkable apartment in the city.

Katya waited outside the apartment and asked in a low voice, "Victor is here? Is everything going well?"

Martha smiled smugly, "That kid is indeed like a hot volcano, a little teasing will erupt violently. As long as he comes, the situation will change."

Katya accompanied Martha into the apartment, and asked again: "Why didn't you tell Victor directly? As long as he grasps the correct method, he is actually very good at communicating."

"Ask Victor for help? I don't."

Martha sneered and shook her head, "Let that kid explore by himself, it's more effective than me saying it a hundred times. It's not me who is nervous now, but the traitor in the Kremlin.

Let this battle royale be more vicious. "

Chapter 03

Pu Dadi does not drink alcohol, does not smoke, is not greedy for money, and is not lecherous. His years of overseas life have made him calm, stoic, unassuming and calm.

Although this agent has not made any outstanding achievements in the field of agents, the agents themselves only need to stick to it and do not need to make public.His calm personality has been brought into full play after becoming a politician.

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia experienced a precipitous decline in national power.

Alcoholics like Yeltsin who drink too much and lose face on the streets of the United States will only lead the country into the abyss.Russia especially needs a calm leader. The worse the situation is, the more calm it is.

History has chosen Emperor Pu.As it turned out, he might not be the best, but he was by no means the worst.

Joining the 'Holy Alliance' is a godsend opportunity for Pu Dadi, he can learn a lesson and do it again or even twice.A person of his status has absolute self-confidence and will not easily change his governing style and philosophy.

In the face of Martha, who needs the support of a powerful force, Emperor Pu provided full cooperation.Even if the former used his power to kill his allies and even his subordinates, he endured it.

But political strongmen will not be willing to be inferior to others, and all forbearance is waiting for an opportunity.When Martha wanted to restart time and space and return to Russia's so-called 'most glorious period', Pu Dadi's thoughts were somewhat similar to Zhou Qingfeng's.

Why go back to a completely strange time?If you go back to the past, you will definitely win?

Even if you want to change, you must change it on your own home ground, in an era when you can control power.

Would it be better to go back to the time of Peter the Great, or Catherine II?People with this kind of thinking must have a sick mind.

Yes, after getting a good understanding of it, Emperor Pu always felt that Martha was too crazy, too stubborn, and too controlling, and she was not suitable to be a politician at all.

Martha pursues perfection too much, and always hopes that everything in the world will run according to her own ideas.If there are flaws, then find a way to correct them.

Puteri has worked as a Russian leader for 20 years, and he has been struggling in the mud for 20 years, surrounded by idiots, garbage, and moths.He admits that the reality has flaws and regrets, but strives to find a balance between different forces and groups.

As the time-space reboot of the showdown begins, the 'Holy Alliance' is tasked with preventing the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Emperor Pu was a witness to this tragedy. He knew very well that the alliance's burden was too heavy, that its interior was already rotten, and its disintegration was unstoppable, but he also knew how to strive for the best result.

While Martha was doing everything she could to save the alliance, Pu Dadi cooperated with her.

The '8.19 coup' succeeded, Gorbachev's reformers and Yeltsin's radicals were killed, and then the Soviet Communist Party's conservatives were also disintegrated by money.

The Sobchak group in St. Petersburg quickly rose to power, and took advantage of the opportunity of the referendum to keep the great banner of the CPSU.These tasks are not easy, but they do not solve the fundamental problem.

The root cause of the disintegration of the Soviet Union was the disintegration of ideology, the collapse of the economy, and the loss of hope in the country by the people.

With the help of the banner of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Emperor Pu immediately reformed the alliance, and the first thing he did was to make money.

How can we stabilize these violent institutions like 'Military and Police Constitution' without money?

Without money, how can we make the public elites who desire Westernization sing praises?

How can the people at the bottom not make trouble without money?

When a country is on the brink of an abyss and is about to fall, it is more important than anything else to give up face and part of its interests in exchange for a stable situation.The aggravation of secondary contradictions is exchanged for the alleviation of major contradictions.

But Martha was not happy. She prevented the privatization of state-owned assets, and even more prevented reconciliation with the West. She demanded the purification of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the elimination of greedy military-industrial interest groups, the trial of the corrupt bureaucracy, and the reconstruction of the distorted national spirit.

As for the alliance, it cannot be disintegrated.

The two sides can't reach an agreement at all, and the dispute over the line will be a matter of life and death.

Pu Dadi doesn't care whether the mission is successful or not, but he wants the control of the 'Holy Alliance', and he wants this space-time team.He secretly reached an agreement with the "low-key club" and turned around to attack Martha.

In the specific handling of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Pu Dadi's practice of compromising with reality and insisting on the bottom line is obviously more reliable than Martha.

Although the dungeon task cannot change the main time and space, he has shown a completely different and superior leadership ability from Martha.

The 'Holy Alliance' was immediately divided within.

Two-thirds of the staff feel that Vladimir Puteri, as the leader who has led Russia for 20 years in reality, is indeed more pragmatic, and it is more hopeful to follow him.

When Pu Dadi asked his teacher, Sobchak who replaced Gorbachev, to announce the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the establishment of the "Commonwealth of Independent States", this directly led to the failure of Martha's mission.

The 'low-key club' agreed to negotiate to make the timing of the restart 'more in the interests of both parties'.As for how to talk about it, that's another matter, the premise is that Emperor Pu can become the leader of the 'Holy Alliance'.

Knowing that the British guy's promise was unreliable, Emperor Pu still believed that power was more important.Faced with the sudden betrayal and split, Martha laughed out loud and bet heavily to drag the mission into the second phase.

In the western suburbs of Moscow, in the Rublev District, there is a group of villas located in a fir forest.

In 1664, Peter the Great's father issued an order prohibiting the construction of any 'smoking factories' in the West End.The scenery here is beautiful, the forest is dense, and there are many wild animals. There have been no large-scale industrial enterprises.

Russian tsars, dignitaries, writers, and generals all preferred to live in Rublev District.Lenin also lived here for a while.Writers Gorky, Chekhov, and painter Levitan also had their own houses in the area.

Aircraft are not allowed to pass over this area.If you get close to this place, your phone will lose signal.Several core sites are not for sale at all, and only the Presidential Affairs Administration has the right to allocate them to "our own people".

Putin lives here and likes to work from home.As for the Kremlin's presidential office, that place has become a tourist attraction, and it is used for publicity and display.

When I wake up at noon every day, three briefings will be sent to Pu Dadi's desktop.

One is the domestic intelligence of the Russian Federal Security Service, the other is the international intelligence of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, and the report of the Russian Federal Guard.

Although he currently only holds the position of Deputy Prime Minister in charge of the economy, Emperor Puteri still controls the lifeline of the entire Russia.He is not very interested in how to manage the country now, after all, this is just a copy mission.

The important issue now was to capture Martha and force her to surrender her power, preferably by killing her.But that woman's psychic powers are too weird, she doesn't let go of power, and it's hard for others to find her.

Entering the second phase, the 'Holy Alliance' was tasked with rebuilding the Soviets.This sounds impossible.So the essence of the matter became the infighting of the 'Holy Alliance'.

When Pu Dadi woke up every day, what he cared most about was whether his "Military Police Xiante" had caught Masha Vodianova and her remaining seven or eight followers.

When I opened the FSB report, the first item was about the murder in St. Petersburg—the media tycoon Prokhorov held a dinner party on the 'Aurora' and was attacked.

More than a dozen people were killed in the attack. In addition to Prokhorov himself, two senior federal officials, including the mayor of St. Petersburg, were also killed on the spot during the dinner.

This is no small case.

According to the transcript provided by the survivors of the incident, the attackers were a man and a woman, plus a boat.

The woman's features were exactly Martha's features.Everyone who met her, male or female, said she was as beautiful as the goddess of dawn.

As for the men, the only clear ones are Asian faces.The specific appearance, few people can tell clearly.Or all that can be said is dead.

As a result of stabilizing the overall situation of the country, Russia's "military and police constitution special" did not appear to collapse like a landslide.Its working efficiency is still very high.

Before dawn, the federal secret service tracked down the "cross-country Mercedes" driven away by the male suspect, and then chased it to the bookstore that was still open late at night.

The Russian Federal Security Service is the frightening KGB in the past. The bookstore aunt was scared to death by the federal secret service who came to her door, crying and describing the Asian "reporter" who appeared late at night.

But the topic of conversation between the aunt and the 'reporter' does not sound like a big deal, that is, the changes in Russia's political situation in the past three or four years are all public information.

Auntie has repeatedly stated that she is absolutely loyal to the Russian Federation, and there is no slander in her conversations with foreign guests.As for the appearance of the Asian, the police gave a relatively accurate portrait based on his description.

Seeing the portrait, Yipu Dadi's calmness made his heart tense - this Asian should not appear at all, and wherever he goes, there will be chaos and chaos.

Prokhorov's body has been picked up from the Neva River and is being sent for examination.The forensic doctor's description confirmed the accuracy of the police portrait from the side - more than half of the corpse's ribs were kicked off, and there were multiple comminuted fractures.

The carpet on the afterdeck of the 'Aurora' was torn to shreds during the attack.The federal secret service was deeply puzzled by this, and later had a guess-someone's legs were too strong during the fight, causing havoc with every move.

It's not like people did it.

The Security Bureau stated that it would do its best to investigate this case of vicious violence against federal officials and legitimate businessmen, but Pu Dadi knew that something more serious had happened.

"Martha is a crazy woman, would she rather lose everything than bow her head?"

Grabbing the portrait of the suspect in the briefing and staring at it for a long time, Pu Dadi instinctively called the Federal Security Bureau with one request - to find the suspect, and if he was sure, kill him by all means possible.

'Holy Light' had also cooperated with Pu Dadi before.But as long as there is an opportunity, Emperor Pu will definitely turn his face and be ruthless. 'Holy Light' hoped that Maozi was half dead, and Maozi didn't want 'Holy Light' to be too strong.
