Important news had entered the eyes of the higher-ups? What was Feng Yu talking about?
Feng Yu saw that Zhang Ruiqiang did not object, so he said: "Then, Mayor Zhang, it seems that you agree. Then sit tight, the news is – the Soviet Union will be disbanded next year! "
"What did you say?!" Zhang Ruiqiang was shocked. The Soviet Union is disintegrating?
Of course, he knew that the situation in the Soviet Union was unstable. A few allied countries, including Russia, had announced that they wanted to leave the Soviet Union. But they did not succeed. Some countries' leaders did not even announce it, and other countries did not recognize it.
Furthermore, as long as the Soviet Union's President Mikhail Gorbachev was still around, the Soviet Union would not disintegrate. Yeltsin might be Russia's top leader now, but he was not the Russian President. If Mikhail Gorbachev can remove Yeltsin from his position once, he can do it again!
Did this Feng Yu get some information from the Soviet Union, or was he using this information to distract him?
"Mayor Zhang, you still don't believe me?"
"Do you know what you're saying? How could the Soviet Union disintegrate? Once the Soviet Union disintegrates, many of its allies' economies will collapse. They will not agree to the disintegration of the Soviet Union! "
There were two opinions in China. One thought that since Russia had declared its independence, the disintegration of the Soviet Union was inevitable. It was only a matter of time before the Soviet Union disintegrated. The Soviet Union's economy was not strong enough to support such a big alliance.
Of course, there were some people who believed that the Soviet Union would never disintegrate. They felt that President Mikhail Gorbachev would be able to turn the situation around and ensure the stability of the Soviet Union. Mikhail Gorbachev should have the ability to do so. After all, many military leaders were promoted by him.
Furthermore, if the Soviet Union disintegrated, what would happen to the economies of the Soviet Union's allies? The Soviet Union's transformation from a planned economy to a market economy was a failure. Many of the allied countries' economies were too simple and illogical. Without the Soviet Union's control, how are those allied countries going to survive?
What do you think we will rely on to make a living in the future? Some countries could not even achieve self-sufficiency in their basic living necessities. Once there was a problem with their exports, wouldn't the country's economy be finished?
Those allied countries' military leaders will surely support Mikhail Gorbachev and ensure the Soviet Union will not disintegrate. Those who were causing a ruckus, including Yeltsin, would definitely be punished!
Zhang Ruiqiang had also considered these two scenarios, but he couldn't make a judgment. He thought that both scenarios were possible, but he couldn't be 100% sure.
If Feng Yu said that the Soviet Union might disintegrate, he would believe it. But Feng Yu said that the Soviet Union will disintegrate next year. He felt that this was impossible. How could it be so fast?
"Mayor Zhang, you should know that I have some friends in the Soviet Union. From the planes I bought, you should also know that one of them is the son of a military general. Now, the Soviet Union was divided. One side supported President Mikhail Gorbachev and wanted to maintain the status quo. But the Soviet Union's people might not agree. One side felt that a new leader should be elected, and Yeltsin was the most popular. There is another group of people who feel that the Soviet Union only exists in name. Why not just disband the Soviet Union and go back to their own homes. "
"The number of people supporting Mikhail Gorbachev is decreasing. Everyone can tell that Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms are a failure. Our country's reforms are based on the Soviet Union's experience and lessons. Even so, there are many problems with our reforms. The Soviet Union's industrial development had tilted. The heavy industries were leaning towards the military, and the light industries were almost abandoned. Now, we had caught up with them. In the future, we will be able to surpass them. Who would believe this in the past? "
"Furthermore, other than industries, what else does the Soviet Union's economy have? Their main source of income is mining! The Soviet Union's political parties wanted to elect a new leader, and Yeltsin was the most popular. He was the first to declare Russia's independence. This means that he does not agree to the Soviet Union's existence. If the Soviet Union was only left with Russia, do you think it would be easier to save the Soviet Union? "
"Wait. What do you mean? If the Soviet Union is only left with Russia, can Russia annex the other allied countries?" Zhang Ruiqiang interrupted Feng Yu. He will never believe this. Furthermore, what's the difference between the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union?
Feng Yu thought. The annexation of the former allied countries to Russia had happened in the future, and it was during Putin's term. But now, it was different. Yeltsin will not agree to let Russia annex those smaller countries.
"Mayor Zhang, the Soviet Union is divided into 3 allied countries. The strongest one is Russia, followed by Ukraine and Belarus. Among them, the country with the largest land area, the richest resources, and the largest number of industrial and military enterprises was Russia. It had more than 60% of the entire Soviet Union. If Russia can take over all of the Soviet Union's overseas resources, do you think Russia can recover quickly? "
"What? Russia can take over all of the Soviet Union's overseas resources? How is this possible? Will the other allied countries agree? " Zhang Ruiqiang also thought about this. If he was Yeltsin, he will also not want the Soviet Union. Russia is enough. Russia is still one of the world's strongest militaries. Also, Russia does not need to take care of those allied countries, and its economy can recover faster.
"Mayor Zhang, this is not about whether the other allied countries agree or not. It is about who has the most military power. Mikhail Gorbachev could no longer suppress the Soviet Union's military leaders. The only thing he can do is to ask for help. He can only ask for help from a strong political power, which is close to the Soviet Union, like our country. That's why Mikhail Gorbachev will invite our country's leaders and promise us some benefits in exchange for our support. This will also be an excuse for the opposition parties to attack him. Giving us benefits is equivalent to betraying the country! "
Zhang Ruiqiang's hands trembled. Feng Yu's analysis was too scary. Could this really happen?
"How can you be sure that what you said is correct?"
"After some time, there will be news of our country's leaders visiting the Soviet Union. This will be the evidence. Also, those Soviet Union's allied countries will quickly establish diplomatic relations with us in exchange for our support. This is also what we want to see. If our neighboring countries are too strong, it will not be a good thing for us. "Feng Yu said.
"Who told you all these? Your friend from the Soviet Union? "Zhang Ruiqiang stared at Feng Yu.
Feng Yu sat up straight and took a sip of tea: "These are what I heard and saw in the Soviet Union and Hong Kong. I came to this conclusion after summarizing what I heard and saw."
"Hong Kong? There are people studying the Soviet Union's politics? "
"They are studying the economy. But it is undeniable that politics and economics are closely related. Studying the Soviet Union's politics is to benefit from the economy. Mayor Zhang, what I said will be verified soon. Furthermore, if the Soviet Union is not disintegrating, do you think I can buy a cheap plane? Mayor Zhang, think about it carefully. If it's me, I will support the disintegration of the Soviet Union. When the disintegration of the Soviet Union really happens, the higher-ups will definitely notice you! "
Zhang Ruiqiang was in a dilemma. He wants to believe what Feng Yu said. This was a good opportunity for him. But he was also afraid that Feng Yu was wrong. If this was the case, he would lose. His current position might be the highest position he could get in the future.
