"Now we come to welcome, the pride of Russia, the most trusted comrade of Secretary Ulyanov, Boris Yeltsin" With a burst of exaggerated introductions, Yeltsin ran onto the stage in a jacket and waved to the young people in the audience.
In response to the first elections in the Soviet Union, almost every candidate tried his best to be elected.
However, most people's minds are still stuck in the old era, and they always think that politics should be a serious matter.
But Seryosha does not see it that way, now the Soviet Union is the post-war baby boom generation, they have not experienced the many tribulations of the Stalin era, and the Soviet Union's ideological changes again and again have also made the country's young people no longer conform to the rules, they do not like the Soviet culture that their own government admires in line with the ideological aesthetics of the Soviet Communist Party, but they have a soft spot for American movies and Western music, which are rivals.
In order to win the affection of young people, the gray-haired Yeltsin had to take off the suit he had worn for many years and put on the jacket and sneakers that were popular among young people.
And it was this change that made Yeltsin stand out from all the candidates and become the most popular politician among young people.
From Leningrad, to Moscow, to Gorky.
Yeltsin's campaign was held one after another, and each time foreign stars were invited to participate.
Naturally, this also had an immediate effect, and Yeltsin's election meeting was almost comparable to the concert of European and American stars.
Each of the election meetings attracted a large number of young people to participate.
Under this unconventional propaganda tactics, Yeltsin's approval ratings left his rivals far behind.
Under these circumstances, the contenders within the CPSU decided to withdraw from the contest for the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Republic and seek other positions, and even if Gorbachev no longer liked Yeltsin, he could not monopolize the power to demand that Yeltsin give up the election.
It was in this context that Yeltsin's election through the party primary was almost a foregone conclusion that he would become the only candidate of the CPSU in the Russian republic.
Correspondingly, the resources of the CPSU will inevitably begin to tilt towards Yeltsin.
Elections are a lot of work, and participating in them means that your life will be carefully watched under a microscope, and Seryosha is most afraid of this kind of thing.
Seryosha has become accustomed to a low-key life, and although he is a politician, he is not just a politician.
Because most politicians in elected countries are actually just puppets in the hands of some people, there are very few politicians in this world who can decide their own destiny and do whatever they want.
Saddam Hussein was clearly one such politician, or rather he wanted to be one.
In the land of Arabia, although the largest and richest country is Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia has long been accustomed to being a pawn of the United States.
Seryosha is now playing a big game of chess, and he wants to use this opportunity to help Kuwait recover and reach into the rich land of the Middle East.
Control the center of this world's energy.
Just after the Kuwaiti government-in-exile and the International Risk Consulting Company signed the largest defense outsourcing contract in history with Saudi Arabia, the International Risk Consulting Company immediately announced that it would hire William Westmoreland, the top commander of the US military in the Vietnam War and a retired four-star general of the US Army, as the commander-in-chief of the mercenaries of the International Risk Consulting Company in this military operation.
Less than 24 hours later, with the full support of the Pentagon, 6,000 mercenaries from international risk consulting firms, a total of 10 special operations regiments, arrived in Saudi Arabia and then left for the Shako border area.
Because the U.S. military has not yet received approval from Congress, it is now unable to provide fire support to mercenaries from international risk consulting firms.
In accordance with the strategy developed by the Pentagon and General Westmoreland, the first stage was to construct several artillery positions along the Shako border and to carve out a position in Kuwait with strong firepower.
The undeclared Iraqi army would never have imagined that there was such a solution in the world, and that Kuwait had actually found a mercenary unit to deal with the regular Iraqi army.
It's really overwhelming.
Saddam Hussein didn't think the 6,000-strong force could make much of a stir until the Shakeh border artillery fire rang out.
It was only after 6,000 mercenaries from international risk consulting firms broke through the Iraqi army's defensive line under the cover of artillery fire and infiltrated Iraq in pieces that the trouble really came.
Six thousand mercenaries, trained in the most rigorous special operations, with the assistance of supporters of the local Kuwaiti government, soon launched a war of indiscriminate annihilation against the Iraqi occupation forces.
Iraqi armored units appearing on the streets began to be attacked by anti-tank mines and car bombs, while Iraqi soldiers patrolling the streets began to be killed by bullets from unknown directions.
As a result of the continuous shelling along the Shako border, the Iraqi army was unable to resist and had to retreat, so the mercenaries of the international risk consulting firm had a solid rear.
Weapons and equipment of all kinds were transported through the area to Kuwaiti territory.
Despite their technical and tactical skills, the mercenaries of international risk consulting firms were always on the weak side until the US military officially declared war.
The Iraqi army has absolute air supremacy in Kuwait and a strong army combat capability.
However, the Iraqi side clearly underestimated the level of mercenary commanders of the international risk consulting firm.
General William Westmoreland, the commander-in-chief of the American forces in the Vietnam War, suffered from the North Vietnamese guerrillas in Vietnam, and in Kuwait, the seventy-two-year-old General William Westmoreland finally had the opportunity to apply the tactics he had learned from Ho Chi Minh's army to the enemy.
The battle is very similar to what happened in Vietnam, except that now international risk consulting firms are playing the role of North Vietnamese guerrillas, Iraq is playing the role of the combined forces of the United States and South Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia is playing the role of China.
The Vietnam War was a lifelong sore spot in William Westmoreland's heart, and he has been studying the war since his retirement, and his years in Vietnam have long made William Westmoreland understand the guerrilla tactics of his old opponent.
It is precisely because of this situation that the battle for Kuwait's restoration has become a tailwind for international risk consulting firms.
In just half a month, the mercenaries of the international risk consulting firm killed thousands of Iraqi regular troops and destroyed nearly 100 combat vehicles of Iraqi armored forces.
International risk consulting firms have made a name for themselves, and Kuwait has begun to regain confidence.
William Westmoreland knew very well what he was going to do, and before the US military officially entered the war, he was going to give his big opponent, the Iraqi army, a good bloodletting. 45 t1706231537:
