Chapter 240: Eastern Europe in Turmoil


Poland and Hungary, which had defected from the socialist camp, were naturally resisted by the socialist countries, led by the Soviet Union, but the United States was interested in them.

No, Walesa has just been elected as the new prime minister of Poland, and the new US President George W.

Bush has taken the initiative to visit Hungary and Poland.

In Hungary, Bush pledged to give Hungary most-favored-nation trade status and also provided Hungary with $1 billion a year in aid funds.

This made the Hungarian government, which has suffered from the economic downturn and the lack of supply, feel more intimate, and the old Bush Sr.'

s plan is also effective for Poland, as an old friend of the United States, Walesa's Solidarity Union has not lost the benefits of the American and American people over the years.

However, the preferential treatment in international trade reassured both the Polish government and Walesa himself.

For Walesa, who has just emerged from power, Bush's assurances seem to have put a safety lock on Walesa's first term as prime minister, and Walesa believes that he can turn things around, at least in terms of economic construction.

The discoloration of Hungary and Poland did not only affect these two countries, but since the opening of the Austro-Khalin-China border, large numbers of East Germans have fled to West Germany through the Austro-Khalin.

At the same time, in East Germany, strike demonstrations after strikes pushed East German leader Honecker onto the crater, and even within East Germany's ruling party, the Socialist Unity Party of Germany, there were calls for Honeck's resignation.

This is simply another copy of the Hungarian ouster of Kadar.

Strikes and demonstrations demanding reform spread like a plague from one country to another.

In Romania, six former leaders of the Romanian Communist Party openly opposed Ceausescu's dictatorship.

Despite the fact that Romania's secret police were known as the socialist camp, on a par with the KGB, people were not afraid of danger and rushed to join the opposition to Ceausescu.

In Bulgaria, there were calls for the resignation of Todorzhvkov, the first secretary of the Communist Party of Bulgaria, who, like Kadar, had been the first secretary of Bulgaria for a long time, and although Bulgaria had been carrying out reforms since the sixties, Zhivkov's reforms had not brought any benign changes to Bulgaria, and both the party comrades and ordinary people had lost patience with Zhivkov.

But Zhivkov was still reluctant to step down from the post of first secretary.

In Czechoslovakia, a public parade was held in memory of those killed in the Soviet invasion of Prague twenty years earlier.

During the event, the death of a college student sparked even more riots.

And in Yugoslavia, relations between Kosovo and Serbia are simply a replica of another Georgian time.

Even Albania, which had broken relations with the Soviet Union, was in turmoil.

The color revolutions that have blossomed everywhere have made the socialist camp teeter.

Moreover, the intensifying democratic separatism in China made it impossible for the Soviet Union to have a stable political environment for economic construction.

People are addicted to political activities such as protests and demonstrations, who will farm the land, who will work in the factories, and who will teach in the schools The Soviet Red Army, stationed in Hungary and Poland, was already untenable.

The outside of their camp is now surrounded by local troops.

The slightest carelessness could lead to armed conflict.

The Americans' assurances gave Hungary and Poland the courage to say no to the Soviet Union.

They even gave the Soviet government an ultimatum to withdraw all its garrisons within a time limit, otherwise they would send their own troops to help the Soviet garrisons leave their homeland.

Seryosha couldn't look down on Hungary and Poland as villains.

He personally called Gorbachev and asked the garrisons stationed in both countries to raise the level of alert.

Seryosha was moved by emotion, because the Soviet Union was about to enter a cold winter, and if the nearly 200,000 troops stationed in the two countries returned home now, they could only live in tents in the cold wind of Siberia, but Gorbachev was still unmoved, and in the end, Shevardnadze negotiated some resettlement costs from the governments of the two countries.

When the Polish garrison returned to Leningrad on ships, Seryosha personally went to the pier to meet them.

There was no welcoming crowd at the scene, because they were not the victors of the war for their country, and now they were just withdrawn from the Polish expulsion, and they were in a similar mood to the troops who had returned from Afghanistan.

Seryosha was present to give a speech, and he thought that these people would be assured that they would all have their jobs when they returned to China.

Although the Leningrad Special Economic Zone is still a blank slate, they can build their own homes with their own hands.

Almost overnight, Seryosha had another 200,000 construction workers who pitched tents around the newly built city roads in Leningrad.

In order to allow everyone to live in relatively warm slab houses when winter really comes, Seryosha has sent countless orders to almost all factories in the country that can produce slab houses.

He even mobilized wagons to transport slabs to Leningrad to build houses.

At the same time, the cadres of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, such as Yeltsin and Nastya, were all on the front line to manage the construction of the board houses.

Under Yeltsin's excellent management, resettlement and construction work have been carried out in parallel, the first phase of the Leningrad petrochemical project and the Leningrad gas terminal have finally been completed and the construction work has begun to be officially put into operation, and the corresponding supporting resettlement housing projects have also been successfully completed.

The Leningrad Special Economic Zone finally has some decent exemplary projects.

The completion of the first projects was a reassurance to foreign investors, especially the completion of the gas terminal, which made Leningrad the largest gas trading market in the Baltic and Nordic regions.

Almost the day after the completion of the gas terminal, Enron, an upstart in the US market for natural gas-fired power generation, signed a ten-year supply contract with the Soviet Union's natural gas Conzen, led by Chernomyrdin, with a total contract value of more than $10 billion.

This news made Gorbachev look at Seryosha for a while, and at the same time made Gorbachev more convinced that the Leningrad Special Economic Zone was the right way to reform the economy of the Soviet Union.

Gorbachev became more trusting and dependent on Seryosha, and at the same time his hostility towards Yeltsin eased.

Selyosa finally fulfilled his promise before the first snowfall in the Soviet Union, and before the first snowfall in the Soviet Union, all the workers in Leningrad lived in the slab houses, and the workers knew in their hearts who they did not shiver in their tents in the blizzard, and although it was still cold in the slab houses, they at least had some hope.

Now every time Seryosha comes to inspect the construction situation, a large number of people spontaneously come to greet him, and Seryosha enjoys this feeling in his heart, even if he has earned trillions of dollars back in Japan, he has not been happy by the children of the workers on the construction site to tie red scarves around his neck. t1706231537:
