Soviet Union 1991

On February 1, 1993, the Russian Army General Staff issued an order to select the site for the new space launch base. At that time, personnel from the Russian General Staff, the Strategic Rocket Force, the Air Force, the Navy, the Far East Military District, the Central Design Institute, the Russian Space Agency, the "Salyut" Design Bureau and other units participated in the site selection work. Finally, the Russian General Staff selected the Svobodny intercontinental ballistic missile launch site in the Amur region in the Far East because the 27th Strategic Rocket Division has been stationed here for decades.

Vostochny Space Center is one of Russia's largest and most ambitious modern space projects. It is located northwest of the city of Svobodny and southwest of the city of Shimanovsk in the Amur Region in the Russian Far East; close to the Zeya and Leya river basins; depending on the launch azimuth, it is about 600 to 800 kilometers away from the Pacific Ocean. The Oriental Port Space Center has a planned total area of ​​551.5 square kilometers and a diameter of approximately 30 kilometers. Very suitable as a new location.

The nearest city to the Vostok Space Center is Ugrigosk, Vostok, Russia. The Oriental Harbor Space Center is located at 51° north latitude. This means that, in a given orbit, the rocket can carry almost the same payload weight as when launched from Baikonur.

In addition, the advantages of launching at this location are: sparse population, short rocket launch path; proximity to large transportation networks, such as the Baikal-Amur Railway Line, Chita-Khabarovsk Highway; and abundant power resources. In the Russian Far East, the location of the Vostok Space Center will facilitate the transportation of materials to the site and the dumping of the rocket's low-stage stage into the ocean to enhance safety.

Some people also believe that this space launch center is too close to China and should not be located here. However, under the insistence of Comrade Putin, the Russian Federation ultimately chose to build it in this area.

Pavlov could no longer sit still. He had a premonition that there was a bigger conspiracy behind Yanayev's Far East plan. Before that, he had always thought that it was because of the Kara Sea super oil field. Energy resources such as the Khalin Oilfield have promoted the development of the Far East and Siberia. Now it seems that General Secretary Yanayev has other plans. While the Far East chess pieces are being carried out step by step, they are also quietly surfacing.

The Prime Minister finally mustered up the courage to raise his doubts to the leader who was almost made into a god. He must get specific and exact answers from the other party.

"General Secretary Yanayev, do you have any deeper considerations in your Far East plan? Or is your Far East plan actually wary of our previous joining countries, the current autonomous prefectures? Aiding the Far East region from Ukraine's heavy industry From the beginning to the current actions of the Baiko-Nur Space Launch Center, although some people will not link them together for the time being, what Yanayev has done is far from enough, right?”

"You want to transfer part of the economic and industrial focus to the Far East... Why is this? After finally stabilizing the franchise countries, are you going to gradually weaken them? The Ukrainian side has not received any news yet, and the transfer work has not yet been carried out. It’s just begun, but what I’m worried about is what should I do if people resist me?”

The Prime Minister's words attracted Yanayev's attention. He looked at the allies standing in front of him, looked at each other meaningfully, and took a final breath. It's time to let him know the truth. At least someone must support and understand his thoughts. Comrade Vladimir's resume still seems a bit immature, like a figure shrouded in his own light. Only when he moves from this position After going down, he would have a real chance to stand out.

"I suddenly remembered something."

While flipping through the documents on the table, Yanayev said to Pavlov casually, "During the secession crisis of the franchising countries in 1991, almost everyone focused on the disintegration of the country's territory. However, Few people have noticed the devastating blow that the separation of the member states will have on Russia. Anyway, if we have time, we can make a calculation now. "

Pavlov didn’t know why he suddenly told himself these distant things. The August 19th Incident was an action that everyone kept secret but was terrified of. If it weren’t for the fact that the leaders and sponsors had not stabilized their position in the end and defeated Yeltsin and his supporters. Those who do not know what kind of abyss the entire country will fall into in the end.

"First of all, after the countries of the original camp in Central and Eastern Europe, they will quickly fall into the arms of the West. We have devoted generations of hard work to their lands, but of course these democrats who insist on kneeling to the West will not With such backbone, they will only demolish all the industrial foundations built with the painstaking efforts of their fathers. Ukraine could have built Ulyanovsk However, under the ruins of those idiots, it was reduced to selling the blueprint. Economically, it had nothing but poor natural gas energy. What else did the people have except poverty? They had the right to education. The right to medical reimbursement, the right to never be fired. But after the disintegration, what will the franchising countries and even the Russian people have?”

"They are left with suffering, endless suffering. We promised them a bright future, but where is the bright future? They no longer have a bright future."

Pavlov remained silent and did not speak. It was difficult for him to understand the darkness Yanayev said. After all, he was the only one in the world who had witnessed the tragedy after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Disabled veterans begging on the streets, officers and soldiers using their medals in exchange for bread, and the mafia selling drugs. The glory and dignity they once had were even lower than the rotting meat in the stinking ditch. The oligarchs have turned Moscow into a rotten, class-conscious city that exudes wealth and wealth.

If Comrade Lenin lying in the coffin saw this scene, he would definitely say, "Bring me my gun, I will shoot these traitors to the motherland!"

Death does not belong to the working class, and the truth that strives for mankind will never die. It became a complete joke.

Yanayev continued in an excited tone, "My Prime Minister, the Far East is just to create a backup industrial base. When we were alive, the Soviet territory was vast, but after a hundred years from you and me, we will never see it again. After those futures, you can guarantee that no one will be watching for the crisis. During the era of the Great Depression in the Western world, many people had fantasized about moving to the Soviet Union, but who could have imagined that this beautiful scene would only last for a few decades? Just disappear."

"In order to preserve the seeds and to prevent the ideals of our ancestors from being destroyed, we must preserve the last thing. If we cannot escape the fate of signing the New Alliance Treaty, at least the Russian Federation will have a spark of counterattack."

The general secretary's rhetorical question left Pavlov speechless. Many people were just secretly glad that this super empire had not collapsed, but they did not think that if this happened again in the future, new leaders would step forward to stop it. Is field splitting happening?

Probably not.

Pavlov had not considered this situation at first, but when the general secretary said this, he suddenly understood. Many people have not figured out what will happen to this country without Yanayev?

He is the last person to block this riddled country and build the incomplete city wall. If he steps down now, Vladimir will only be able to become a conservative king at most, and he will be busy stabilizing the internal situation. It would be a nightmare to have a conservative guy come to power. They have no ability to solve the current internal problems of the Soviet Union. Seizing power will not only add fuel to the fire, but will only reappear the nightmare of 1991, and then the entire country will perish.

The conservatives thought that by removing Yanayev, they would be able to protect their existing interests, but they never thought that they themselves were blocking Yanayev's political reforms.

"General Secretary...I understand."

"I have one last question, General Secretary Yanayev."

Pavlov's last question was on point. "So whose side are you going to be on?"

"I?"

Yanayev thought about this question carefully and then smiled.

He knew what Pavlov was talking about.

"If one day I have to make a choice between someone in the political situation and myself."

Yanayev raised his head, with a resolute expression and replied in the most affirmative tone, "I will always stand on the side of the people."
