Chapter 938: I will always be on the side of the people

On February 1, 1993, the General Staff of the Russian Army issued an order to select the site for the new space launch base. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 At that time, the personnel of the General Staff of the Russian Army, the Strategic Rocket Forces, the Air Force, the Navy, the Far Eastern Military District, the Central Design and Research Institute, the Russian Space Agency, the Salyut Design Bureau and other units participated in the site selection work. Finally, the General Staff of the Russian Army chose the Svobodne ICBM launch site in the Amur Region in the Far East, since the 27th Strategic Rocket Division has been stationed here for decades.

The Vostochny Space Center is one of the largest and most ambitious space projects of modern Russia. It is located in the Russian Far East, northwest of the city of Svobodny and southwest of the city of Shimanovsk, Amur region; close to the basins of the Jieya and Leya rivers; Depending on the launch azimuth, it is about 600 to 800 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean. The total planned area of the Oriental Port Space Center is 551.5 square kilometers, with a diameter of about 30 kilometers. Ideal as a new site.

The nearest city to the Vostochny Space Center is Ugrigorsk, the port of Vostochny in Russia. The geographical location of the Vostochny Harbor Space Center is at 51° north latitude. This means that in a given orbit, the rocket can carry almost the same payload weight as it did when launched from Baikonur.

In addition, the advantages of launching at this location are: sparse population, short rocket launch path; proximity to large transport networks, such as the Baikal-Amur railway line, the Chita-Khabarovsk highway; Electricity resources are abundant. In the Russian Far East, the location of the Vostochny Space Center will facilitate the transportation of materials to the site and the abandonment of the lower stages of the rocket to the sea, enhancing safety.

There are also those who believe that the space launch center is too close to China and should not be located here, but at the insistence of Comrade Putin, the Russian Federation finally chose to build it in this area.

Pavlov could no longer sit still, he had a hunch that there was a bigger conspiracy behind Yanayev's Far East plan was slowly surfacing, he had always thought that it was because of the Kara Sea super oil field, Sakhalin oil field and other energy resources to promote the development of the Far East and Siberia, now it seems that General Secretary Yanayev has other plans, while the Far East chess pieces are being carried out step by step, they are also quietly surfacing.

The Prime Minister finally mustered up the courage to question the leader who had been almost made into a god. He has to get concrete, definite answers from the other person's mouth.

"General Secretary Yanayev, do you have a deeper consideration for your Far Eastern plans? Or is your Far Eastern project actually wary of our former member states, the current autonomous oblasts? From Ukraine's heavy industrial assistance to the Far East, to the current approach to the Baiko-Nur Cosmodrome, although some people will not connect them for the time being, what Yanayev has done is far from enough, right? ”

"You have to shift part of the economic and industrial focus to the Far East...... Why is that? It took a long time to stabilize the member countries, is this to gradually weaken them? The Ukrainian side has not received news yet, and the transfer work has just begun, but what should I do if I am worried about the resistance of the public? ”

The Prime Minister's words caught Yanayev's attention, and he looked at his allies standing side by side in front of him, only to look at each other meaningfully, and finally took a breath. It's also time for him to know the truth, at least someone has to support and understand his ideas, Comrade Vladimir is still a little immature on his resume, like a figure shrouded in his own light, and only after he goes down from this position, he will have a real chance to stand out.

"I suddenly remembered something."

"In 1991, when the Union was in crisis, almost everyone focused on the disintegration of the territory of the country. But few people have paid attention to the devastating blow that the secession of the member states will have on Russia. It's okay, anyway, if we have time, we can make an estimate now. ”

Pavlov didn't know why he suddenly told himself about these distant things, the August 19 incident was a secretive but terrifying action for everyone, and if it wasn't for the fact that the leading initiators stabilized their positions and defeated Yeltsin and his supporters, I don't know what kind of abyss the whole country would have fallen into in the end.

"First of all, after the independence of the former communist bloc countries in Central and Eastern Europe, they will quickly fall into the arms of the West. We have poured our hearts and souls into their soil for generations, but these democrats who insist on kneeling and licking the West certainly do not have such backbone, they will only tear down all the industrial bases built by their fathers, Ukraine could have built the Ulyanovsk aircraft carrier, but in the end under the abuse of those fools, they can only be reduced to selling the design at a low price. There is nothing left economically except for pitiful natural gas energy. What do the people have besides poverty? In Soviet times they had the right to education, the right to medical reimbursement, the right to never be fired. But what is there left of the Union States, and even of the Russian people, after the disintegration? ”

"What is left for them is suffering, suffering without end. We promised to give them a bright future, but where is the bright future? They don't have a bright future anymore. ”

Pavlov was silent and did not speak, it was difficult for him to appreciate the darkness of Yanayev's words, after all, he was the only one in this world who had witnessed the tragedy after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The disabled veterans begging on the streets, the officers and soldiers who exchange their medals for bread, the mafia selling drugs, the glory and dignity of the past are lower than rotten flesh in the stinking gutter. The oligarchs turned Moscow into a rotten, hierarchical city that exuded drunkenness.

If Comrade Lenin, who was lying in the coffin, saw this scene, he would have said, "Bring me my gun, I will shoot these traitors to the Motherland!" ”

Death does not belong to the working class, and the truth of the struggle for humanity will never perish. It turned into a complete joke.

Yanayev continued in an excited tone, "My Prime Minister, the Far East is just about creating a backup industrial base. When we were still alive, the territory of the Soviets was vast, but when you and I were a hundred years later, when we could no longer see those futures, you could guarantee that no one would be eyeing the crisis, no one would be eyeing it. In the era of the Great Depression in the Western world, many people fantasized about moving to the Soviet Union, but who would have thought that this beautiful scene would only last for a few decades and then disappear. ”

"In order to preserve the seeds, so that the ideals of our ancestors are not destroyed. We have to keep everything to the last of us. If in the end it is impossible to avoid the fate of signing the "New Union Treaty", at least the Russian Federation will still have a trace of fire to fight back. ”

The general secretary's rhetorical question left Pavlov speechless, and many people were only secretly glad that this super-empire had not collapsed, but did not think that if this situation happened again in the future, would there be a new leader who would stand up to prevent this split from happening?

Probably not.

Pavlov did not think about this situation at first, but when the general secretary said this, he suddenly understood. Many people have not figured out what will happen to this country without Yanayev?

He is the last person to plug up this devastated country and build the broken walls, and if he steps down now, Vladimir will only become a king of defense at best, and he will be busy stabilizing the internal situation. It's a nightmare to get conservative guys on the bench. They simply did not have the ability to solve the internal problems of the current USSR, and the seizure of power, in addition to adding fuel to the fire, would only allow the nightmare of 1991 to be repeated, and then the whole country would go to its demise.

Conservatives thought that by stepping down Yanayev, they would be able to preserve their existing interests, but they did not realize that it was they who were now blocking Yanayev's political reforms.

"General Secretary...... I know. ”

"I have one last question, General Secretary Yanayev."

Pavlov's last question was meaningful, he said, "So which side will you be on?" ”

"Me?"

Yanayev pondered the question for a moment, then smiled.

He knew what Pavlov was talking about.

"If one day I have to make a choice between some people in politics and myself."

Yanayev raised his head, replied with the most affirmative tone with a resolute expression, "I will always be on the side of the people." (To be continued.) )
