Soviet Godfather

Yeltsin’s anger is not without reason. In fact, two full days have passed since the initial explosion in Chernobyl. And everyone, including General Secretary Gorbachev, knew about this matter for less than twenty hours.

Why is it now necessary to convene all officials at the deputy ministerial level and above in Moscow for a late-night meeting, because according to the speculation of experts from the Ministry of Nuclear Industry, the core of the current Chernobyl 4 reactor has been melted and there is a danger of explosion at any time. Under such circumstances, the Politburo must be anxious for all officials to discuss a countermeasure.

Today's unconventional meeting was extremely efficient, because time waits for no one. General Secretary Gorbachev even omitted the opening remarks. The experts from the Ministry of Nuclear Industry who were invited to participate in this meeting tried their best to explain the current situation in Chernobyl in a way that ordinary people can understand, but everyone here is still the same. Hearing in the mist.

"Sorry, can you interrupt?" Xie Liaosha suddenly stood up and interrupted the other party's speech.

Gorbachev saw Selesha stand up and was not angry. He motioned Selesha to speak freely!

"Several comrades of the Ministry of Nuclear Industry, it is impossible for all of us here to understand what happened in Chernobyl. We are all at the level of elementary school students on nuclear issues. I would like to ask you to tell me straightforwardly. What does Chernobelli need now?"

"We need borax, boron carbide, lead powder, radiation protection suits, a lot of liquid nitrogen, large oil drilling equipment, and a lot of cement and concrete..." The experts from the Ministry of Nuclear Industry listed one by one, and most of them were present. The officials carefully recorded the relief supplies listed by the experts.

"Why do you need oil drilling equipment? What other specifications are needed, and how many units do you need?" The Minister of Petroleum Industry was speaking. He heard an expert talk about something related to him, so he immediately asked.

"We need to inject liquid nitrogen into the soil below the No. 4 core to keep the temperature below minus 100 degrees Celsius. Only in this way can we ensure that the melted core will not continue to sink and pollute groundwater."

"Our Ministry of Chemical Industry has a batch of borax, right in Odessa..."

"Our special train and transportation fleet of the Ministry of Transport can be ready within two hours..."

...

Under the mobilization of Sergei Sha, the meeting lasted only half an hour and basically clarified the responsibilities of each department. At this moment, no matter how perfunctory things are usually done, everyone who is doing it knows what to do to avoid a greater disaster in Chernobyl. Because if there is a nuclear explosion in the No. 4 reactor, it is not just a problem for the Soviet Union. The entire Eastern Europe and even the Baltic Sea coast and Turkey will be harmed by nuclear radiation. From now on, most of Ukraine and Belarus will become forbidden areas for mankind.

"Comrades, I would like to provide Chernobyl with 10 billion rubles on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and the Foreign Trade Bank. We will supervise the use of this money." Sergey Sha said at the end of the meeting.

In this emergency meeting, the protagonist is not the top leader of the country like Gorbachev, but the officials of the department like Selesha. Everyone is responsible for specific business at the highest level of the Soviet Union. Officials are very familiar with most of the areas they are responsible for. As long as the Chernobyl rescue is broken down into their own familiar areas, everyone can quickly claim their tasks.

Gorbachev was not dissatisfied with Sergei Sha’s behavior on behalf of others. On the contrary, he admired Sergei Sha’s behavior very much. Because he could completely imagine what the meeting would be like if it hadn't been for Sergeisha's unexpected speech, and maybe there would still be no progress until the next morning. What's more, Xie Liaosha was a cadre he pulled up with one hand.

After the meeting, the chairman of the Council of Ministers Ryzhkov rushed to Pripyat, Ukraine by special plane. The location of Chernobyl is very important. It is close to the Pripyat River and is surrounded by important agricultural production areas. The river network is densely covered with abundant water, and the Pripyat River is the upper reaches of the Dnieper River. Once nuclear radiation spreads into the Pripyat River, Dnepropetrovsk may also be in danger.

Therefore, even according to the general speculation of experts from the Ministry of Nuclear Industry, in order to prevent Chernobyl's nuclear radiation from spreading to a larger area through water sources, a series of dams must be built in the rivers around Chernobyl. To seal off the contaminated waters.

The budget estimated at this meeting is already an astronomical figure. This caused headaches for the Soviet Central Bank, which was already struggling with its fiscal situation. The foreign trade bank's funds have indeed solved the urgent need. Sergey Sha is not a stingy person, money is spent. During this period of time, Sergey Sha’s investment in Japanese yen has greatly increased the foreign trade bank’s funds, with a floating profit of up to 700 billion US dollars so far. If this money is only used for personal luxury life, even if Sergey Shah will spend ten lifetimes~www.wuxiaspot.com~ So Sergey Shah did not intend to keep Foreign Trade Bank out of the business during the Chernobyl incident. , He wants to contribute as much as he can to this country.

Sergei drew a large number of business experts from the Foreign Trade Bank and rushed to Ukraine. His goal was not Pripyat, but Dnepropetrovsk, a major Ukrainian town located thousands of miles away from Pripyat. Under the current circumstances, even Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, is also shrouded in the shadow of nuclear radiation. Sergei does not have to go to the danger alone. Dnepropetrovsk is now under the management of the Tymoshenko family, and it is already considered the easiest area for Selesha to control in Ukraine. Sergei intends to set up the fund turnover location of the Disaster Relief Committee in Dnepropetrovsk.

Sergei spent a week in Moscow to mobilize personnel to raise funds. During this time, Gorbachev finally confessed to the Soviet people what happened in Chernobyl. The solemn protest from the Swedish government surprised Gorbachev. He couldn't believe that the radioactive fallout from Chernobyl had drifted into Swedish airspace, so it seemed that Moscow was already insecure.

Sergei didn't want to harm his health due to nuclear radiation, but as a high-ranking Soviet official, hiding in the Far East or abroad at such a time cannot be forgiven by the Soviet people. So Selesha quickly ended his work and rushed to Dnepropetrovsk.
