Chapter 987: The first snow in winter

Mr. Grbanbridge sat alone in the Kremlin, a huge office that symbolized the supreme power center of the Soviet Russian Empire for a long time.
Sitting here was a dream he had pursued desperately in his life.
This dream finally came true this year. On March 10, 1985, Konstantin Ustinovich Chernenko passed away. On March 11, with the support of Gromyko and others, he was elected as the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Chairman of the Soviet Russian Defense Conference, becoming the youngest and most powerful controller in Soviet history. He only discovered that it turned out that all this was not as beautiful as he thought.
Now, he was able to calm down and look at all aspects of the country comprehensively and as a whole, and only at this time did he really realize how seriously Soviet Russia was sick.
The "life-long system of cadres" established in the Brezhnev era created a solid barrier to the interests of the class, which caused the entire leadership to fall into corruption and at the same time made ordinary workers who occupy the vast majority of the population irretrievably The land has lost the most basic labor enthusiasm and enthusiasm. They undertake the most onerous work but have the lowest pay. This makes them full of resentment and resistance to work. Negative sabotage is common, and the destruction of labor tools is even more vent. It is endless.
He grew up from the most ordinary tractor driver, of course he knew all this deeply.
For this reason, Soviet Russia has the largest land area in the world, with 1.9 million square kilometers of Uklan black land resources known as the "European granary", but the annual grain production does not support Soviet Russia, which is only 286 million. citizen!
This is simply a wonderful irony.
The same goes for the army and heavy industry that make Soviet Russia proud.
The large active-duty army of 3.5 million people, and the industrial facilities for military service account for 40% of the country’s total industry. Long-term, undisclosed military-related transactions have allowed them to form interest groups, and they control the entire country’s industrial lifeline. In response to threats from various parties and other reasons, the Soviet Union is forcing Russia to devote 15% of its GDP to the national defense budget every year to feed its huge army and update their equipment... And Grbanchov also knows that many countries After the equipment purchased with huge sums of money was distributed to the grassroots units, it turned into scrap iron that no one cares about in the warehouse. There have been endless incidents of theft of weapons and equipment, the use of antifreeze in vehicles and even airplanes as spirits!
Although the state has invested immensely in these areas, the reality is that Soviet Russia has been thrown farther and farther away by the Western world in the development and application of leading technologies, and it has become increasingly unable to catch up. Victor Mikhailo Vicki Chebrikov has complained at conferences more than once. The main job of his KGB now is to find ways to steal advanced equipment, basic materials and semiconductor chips from Western countries!
But Gulbanqiao believes that Mikhailovich is completely nonsense. The KGB’s most important job now is to use its independent foreign trade rights to smuggle goods on a large scale to satisfy the middle and senior leaders in the organization. Expansive personal material enjoyment!
And because of this policy that the country has long followed, the entire Soviet-Russian industrial system is in an extremely unhealthy one-sided state-they may be able to develop and produce the most advanced combat equipment that can compete with the United States, but they can't make one for civilians. Electric kettle used!
Not to mention that under the long-term influence of bureaucracy, governments at all levels have low work efficiency, superfluous work styles, and irresponsible work attitudes. Inherent interest groups, large and small, cut the power structure of the entire Soviet Russian state to pieces. ...
The internal affairs have been so bad, and the diplomacy is even worse.
The Eastern European countries that originally envisaged Soviet Russia as a nutrient have gradually become a heavy economic burden. In order to maintain the "Economic Mutual Assistance Committee" (Qianzhiyu Note: The original intention of the organization was to follow the duties of the Western "Paris Coordinating Committee". But in fact, it has never really performed its due effectiveness. Lao Maozi’s complete lack of economic planning ability allowed this organization to function normally except for meeting and cursing the streets. Countries are vying to change law to benefit Soviet Russia.) , Soviet Russia has to invest at least 2% of its gross national product to subsidize it every year; and this "economic mutual aid committee" is different from the common market, and cannot produce a virtuous circle between higher productivity and wealth; rigid thinking , Pure planning management leads to a lack of competition in management methods that make this committee more like a system in which Eastern European countries pay tribute to Soviet Russia. In fact, its current role is more like a place for accusations and excuses within the Warsaw Pact. This made the trade volume between Soviet Russia and Eastern Europe completely stagnated since the 1980s.
Soviet Russia’s defense policy within the Warsaw Pact is also one of the culprits. The security of the entire Warsaw Pact was almost solely supported by Soviet Russia. Almost all the military equipment of other countries relied on Soviet Russia’s assistance, as if their duty was not to defend their country-but Grbanchov knew that all this was actually the Soviet Union. Russia takes the blame. His previous policies have always pursued a defense policy that is radical and strong in control. It neither allows other countries in the Warsaw Pact to develop self-independent armed forces, nor does it allow these troops that were regarded as "cannon fodder" by Soviet Russia. Obtain the most advanced weapons and equipment to threaten the leadership of Soviet Russia, and even the commanding power of these forces was firmly held by Soviet Russia.
Under this policy, how could the military of other countries in the Warsaw Pact have the confidence and determination to build their own national defense capabilities?
Therefore, compared with the Soviet Union’s 15% of GDP, the investment level of other countries in the Warsaw Pact is only 6% of their national GDP on average, and they also want to reduce it again!
In any case, no matter how high the level of training and equipment is, at best, it is the cannon fodder of the Soviet Union, so why do you have to invest heavily in construction?
However, this has increased the economic burden of Soviet Russia, but Soviet Russia seems to be not satisfied with this. Under such a huge pressure in Europe, he has made enemies on all sides and opened up a new battlefield in Asia!
The war to invade Afkhan has turned into a nightmare. The garrison in Annan’s Cam Ranh Bay is more like a purely political show. In the border conflict between Huaxia and the Annan people, they can actually do nothing. .
He knew that if Soviet Russia could not find a new development path, this huge country would inevitably become weak.
A thorough reform must be carried out!
Gulbanqiao said silently to himself: "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. This is a duty that you must bear."
He opened the office window and looked out to the wide Red Square, where the cold current from Siberia has brought Moscow's first snow this winter.
One after another, like dreams and illusions.
