Chapter 272: 4+2 Negotiations


After the first popular elections in the Soviet Union, Yeltsin took the supreme power of the Russian Republic.

Sobchak, on the other hand, held Leningrad firmly in his hands.

At this moment, the head of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone fell on Nastya's head.

She was Seryosha's confidant for many years, and she had always obeyed Seryosha's words, and as Seryosha's status in the Soviet Union grew, Nastya's work became more and more important.

Although Nastya was the head of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, the importance of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone to the Soviet Union made the number one leader here a political star in the Soviet Union.

And in the western part of the Soviet Union, a city named after the Komsomol is experiencing the same opportunities as the Leningrad Special Economic Zone.

The head of the Komsomolsk Special Economic Zone is also a close confidant of Seryosha, who has been following Seryosha Pugachev since the days of the Komsomolsk.

However, because the Komsomolsk Special Economic Zone is located in the Far East, the main trading partners are only Japan, South Korea, and China.

Therefore, the status of Komsomolsk has always been inferior to that of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone.

Seryosha had now given Nastya a more complex task to negotiate with the Central Bank of Eastern Europe on plans for the formation of an industrial and energy community.

This plan is not groundless, but modelled on the European Steel and Coal Consortium, one of the predecessors of the current European Community.

Seryosha's fundamental aim was to combine the energy industry of the Soviet Union with the industry of Eastern Europe, to reduce the cost of industry in Eastern Europe through a joint approach, and to ensure the vitality of the market in Eastern Europe.

In addition, with the increase in purchasing power in Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union also had a stable place to consume energy.

The energy sources here mainly refer to coal and natural gas.

In addition to energy, Soviet electrolytic aluminum, cotton, and other mineral resources could also be added.

This plan would be of great benefit to both sides, but for now Eastern Europe had not lost its guard against the Soviet Union, so it would be better to cooperate in the form of companies rather than states, and in the future, as long as close economic ties were established, political problems would not be difficult to solve.

It is with this aim in mind that Nastya's work focuses not only on the construction of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, but also on communication and exchanges with the unified market of Eastern Europe.

Although the Central Bank of Eastern Europe actually belongs to Seryosha, Seryosha's political influence in Eastern Europe is still very weak, and the pan-democratic parties that have just gained power in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union share complex grievances and hatreds.

Nasgar's job isn't easy.

The reason why Seryosha entrusted such an important job to Nastya was actually because he had more important things.

The Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU has officially entrusted him with the matter of the merger of the two Germanys.

The loss of Eastern Europe was seen by many comrades in the party as a great failure of Gorbachev's foreign policy, and this was one of the areas where the Marxist-Leninist program in the CPSU was dissatisfied with Gorbachev.

Because of Seryosha's outstanding performance in handling the Kuwait issue, it is now widely believed that Seryosha would be better off taking over the negotiations on the merger of the two Germanys.

This puts Seryosha with a heavy responsibility.

Since Seryosha created the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, most of the Soviet Union's foreign debt problems have been resolved.

In addition to the claims of some international investors, the largest creditor of the Soviet Union is the Federal Republic of Germany, and as long as the Federal Republic of Germany is settled, the sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the Soviet Union can truly lift the danger.

As for the claims of international creditors, Seryosha can be dealt with on a rolling basis by issuing new debts for old ones.

Only by solving the debt problem will the economy of the USSR be able to move forward lightly.

So this trip to West Germany is crucial.

The parties involved in the merger of Germany included the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, as well as the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR.

This was the second time that the parties in Germany, which had been divided after the Second World War, had consulted on this issue.

Without the participation of the Soviet Union, the Federal Republic of Germany unilaterally tore up the peace agreement of World War II.

This is a serious breach of contract under international law.

So the recognition of the USSR was crucial for the Federal Republic of Germany.

Seryosha and Prime Minister Kohl actually still have some personal relationships.

When Seryosha dealt with the Red Square incident, there was a private communication between Margaret Thatcher and Kohl, and Seryosha saved Matthias Rust's life, and in return, VTB was allowed to enter the West German market to engage in normal business activities.

It was a great experience for both parties.

This time, Seryosha also used private channels to convey his bottom line to the German side through the husband of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

The Soviet Union would not agree to the merger of Germany unless the Federal Republic of Germany gave up all its foreign debts.

This request is actually a bit excessive, which is one of the reasons why Seryosha did not publicly state the conditions for negotiations.

If the Federal Republic of Germany did not agree, Seryosha would not have signed the agreement on the merger of Germany.

Chancellor Kohl was actually very dissatisfied with Seryosha's demands, but now that Seryosha is annoyed and let him walk away, German reunification will have to find another chance.

Therefore, although the German side felt embarrassed, it still planned to do what Seryosha wanted.

As long as Germany can be reunited, what if Chancellor Kohl gives up these foreign debts.

Which is more important, the reunification of the motherland or money, will those guys in the parliament be so blind Seryosha's plane first landed in East Berlin, the capital of East Germany.

Before attending the talks, Seryosha took the initiative to meet Comrade Erich Honach, an old friend of the Soviet people and former general secretary of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany.

Honecker has been in a bad situation lately, and since his retirement, he has been able to watch the GDR slide into the abyss of extinction on television.

And the current leaders of the Séordination Party of Germany, who forced Honecker to retire.

He is trying to put some of the accusations of the GDR on this old man.

Seryosha was not here to bolster Honecker.

I just hope to relieve the pressure on Comrade Honecker.

Seryosha handed over a personal letter from General Secretary Gorbachev to Honeck.

And invited Honecker to visit the Soviet Union.

Seryosha's words were a source of great relief for Honecker, who was now almost synonymous with traitors in East Germany.

But many of the charges are crimes of desire.

In view of Honeck's poor mental condition and health, Seryosha suggested that Honecker first go to the military hospital where the Soviet troops were stationed in the GDR to recuperate, so that he could have a quiet environment under the protection of the Soviet Union.

Honecker eventually accepted Seryosha's suggestion. t1706231537:
