Soviet Godfather

Vol 5 Chapter 40: Escalation of conflict

In New York, the staff in the Plaza Hotel are racing against time to make the final preparations for the arrival of the distinguished guests. In order to take over the reservation from the US State Department, the rooms on the two highest floors of the Plaza Hotel have not been open to the public for nearly a month. Not only that, several of the largest suites were requested by the staff of the State Council to replace the wallpaper and interior decoration. The largest suite was also required to install tatami mats.

This reception activity inspired the staff of the Plaza Hotel, whether it is a waiter, a cleaner, or a chef. As long as it was the personnel involved in the specific tasks of this reception, everyone was checked out by special agents from Washington.

The Plaza Hotel hasn’t had an event of this kind for a long time. Even the last time a king from a certain country in the Middle East stayed at the Plaza Hotel, there was no such strict requirement. However, the Special Intelligence Bureau obviously did not think that the owner of the hotel would notice this incident, and also reported their every move to the Deputy Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Soviet Union.

Sergei's situation has been very dangerous since he got on the bar with Ligachev. Ligachev even took the matter to the regular meeting of the Central Committee for discussion. However, what Ligachev did not expect was that there were actually two more people on the Central Committee who sang the ring with him in front of the gong and the drum. Those two were not others, but the former Soviet construction minister who was once embarrassed by him. Chin, and Yakovlev, who was under him but served as the propaganda minister of the CPSU Central Committee.

Why is it called the former Minister of Construction? Because Yeltsin has been promoted, he succeeded Grishin, who was forced to retire, and was transferred from the Ministry of Construction to the position of Secretary of the Moscow City Party Committee by Gorbachev. At the same time, he was also logical. He also served as secretary of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and alternate member of the Politburo, and was promoted to the ranks of national leaders.

It stands to reason that Yeltsin is now Ligachev's direct subordinate, and Yeltsin should not blame his boss. But there is one account that Yeltsin knew, that is, after he became the secretary of the Moscow City Party Committee, the Workers’ Village still had to go on. The financing is inseparable from the support of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. If the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation is controlled by Ligachev, then the workers' new village in Yeltsin will be unfinished. So after weighing the pros and cons, Yeltsin took the initiative to stand on Sergei's side.

In addition to Yeltsin, the Propaganda Minister of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Yakovlev, clashed with Ligachev on the Central Committee. As the secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, Ligachev is responsible for all tasks of the Secretariat. Naturally, the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the CPSU is also within the scope of Ligachev's authority.

As the chief planner of Gorbachev's political reforms, Yakovlev has always advocated full opening up in the ideological field, especially on some historically sensitive issues, so that the people in China should have the full right to know. These views of Yakovlev have been supported by many young officials. But Ligachev was not among them.

Sergey Sha is a banner among young cadres and an important ally of Yakovlev’s Secretary Gorbachev. Because the political status of Ligachev and Selesha was too far apart, Yakovlev took the responsibility of counterattack Ligachev on his part.

In this context, the regular meetings of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the regular meetings of the Central Committee have become the battlefields of the open parties represented by Yeltsin and Yakovlev and the conservatives represented by Ligachev. . And Gorbachev watched the development silently behind the scenes, and was not in a hurry to make a ruling on the dispute.

With two elder brothers in front of them sheltering themselves from the wind and rain, Sergei's pressure was much less. The most important thing is that this matter makes Ligachev's face extremely ugly. But he dared not push this matter to General Secretary Gorbachev to deal with, because that would not only make him incapable, but more importantly, Sergey was a member of Gorbachev.

It doesn’t mean that Ligachev is really helpless. He asked for a list of senior officials from the Foreign Trade Bank and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation from the Organization Department. Screening one by one can break the key to the fortress of Seryosha from the inside. character. Soon, a person's name aroused Ligachev's interest.

"How is the relationship between Yegor Gydar and Ulyanov?" Ligachev asked his subordinates about the name of the chief economist of the Foreign Trade Bank on the list.

"He! He is my classmate at Moscow University. Before entering the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, he served as a senior adviser to the State Economic Reform Commission. At that time, Houyakovlev admired him very much, but he himself was still pensioning at the Soviet Academy of Sciences. , There was no way to use this person, so he was introduced to Ulyanov..." Ligachev's staff explained to Ligachev.

"So, does Ulyanov take him seriously?" Ligachev asked disappointedly.

"No, it's just the opposite! The last time I ate with him, he told me that Ulyanov did not reuse him, just let him bear the name of the chief economist, but only for Ulyanov's economy. The policy creates public opinion in the newspapers. If the secretary can give him a chance, I believe he will come to us!" the staff officer told Ligachev.

"When are you free, ask him to come out for a meal again! Let him help us investigate what happened to the Foreign Trade Bank~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I always feel that Ulyanov is obstructed by hundreds of methods in front of me There is an ulterior secret behind our audit of the Foreign Trade Bank!" Ligachev instructed the staff.

"Secretary, this Yegor Gaidar is a slippery head, and although he has no rights in the foreign trade bank, but the treatment is good! I am afraid that the general position Gaidar will not easily take refuge in us!" the staff officer said to Ligachev.

"That's it!" Ligachev became a little disappointed. Now in Moscow's officialdom, who doesn't know that the treatment of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation is the best among all ministries and commissions. Not to mention Yegor Gaidar as an executive of the Foreign Trade Bank. Ligachev is mainly in charge of party affairs. Although his power is heavy, his financial resources are incomparable. Ligachev thought about it, and finally said to his staff: "Tell him, if he can bring us valuable clues, I will let him be the deputy editor-in-chief!"

The staff swallowed a little enviously, nodded and said yes, then turned and left Ligachev's office. After coming out, the staff officer returned to his office in despair. He closed the door and slumped in his chair, regretting why he had introduced Yegor Gydar to Ligachev. That's all right now. People will soon be in the position of deputy editor-in-chief, only one step away from the Central Committee members. Why couldn't Secretary Ligachev give himself this opportunity? ...
