Chapter 1529 Standing at the top of world civilization
Chapter 1531 Standing at the top of world civilization
In the summer of 1985, the weather in Beijing was extremely hot.
Moscow is much cooler in comparison.
Since Qernenko's death, the game that lasted for several months finally came to an end.
In the end, there was no fierce conflict, nor was there any situation where one party overwhelmed the other.
After the two sides were in a stalemate for more than a month, they finally chose to compromise.
Xie Lieping gained the greatest fame with the support of Lao Toka, and as expected, after he reappeared at the core of power in Moscow, a group of old subordinates immediately gathered around him in a short period of time.
Although these people are all marginal figures, they have at least reorganized a basic base.
Then there is the fact that Xie Lieping was somewhat popular in kgb back then, especially since Androbo had passed away, and Xie Lieping had obtained the title. In addition to the original old people, there were also new people who chose to join, whether it was speculation or investment, no doubt
The greatest benefit is from burning a cold stove.
As a deal, Gromi replaced Lao Tokar and became the number two figure. This was also the condition for Gromi and other local factions to accept Sheliepin's rise to power.
At the same time, Xie Lieping and Lao Toka also promised to maintain the status quo.
This condition is actually quite worth pondering.
What does maintaining the status quo mean?
It is to continue to implement Androbo and Chernenko's reform measures unchanged. This condition is tantamount to completely betraying the interests of local factions in Central Asia.
Androbo's previous strategy was to use the Afhan as a knife to stab at the local factions in Central Asia.
On the contrary, they did not take much action against other local factions. Whether it was the Far East, the Caucasus, or the more powerful Ukrainian and Leningrad factions, they did not suffer any substantial losses.
This condition is also a compromise. The subtext is that you can reform Ge, as long as you attack those guys in Central Asia.
Twenty years ago, Xie Lieping would definitely not have agreed to such dirty conditions, but now... he is no longer a young and energetic young man in his early forties.
Twenty years of being on the sidelines at least taught him to restrain his minions.
As for Lao Toca, he also took a back seat to third place. It seems that he has made a huge sacrifice, but don't forget that he is already over eighty years old and will not live long.
Any personal sacrifice in exchange for greater benefits is worth it to him.
After staying in Moscow for nearly a month, Du Fei returned to China.
The situation of Speedlink this time is generally good.
There were no fierce conflicts, no turmoil, and no killings. It was considered a smooth transition.
If nothing else happens, at least there won't be any major changes in the next few years.
The only variable is the Central Asian local faction that was sacrificed.
These people originally wanted to take advantage of the death of Androbo and Chernenko to take advantage of the opportunity to make a comeback.
Now that it has become a bargaining chip in the transaction, I will definitely not be willing to accept it.
But in terms of the overall situation, starting from the Afhan War and after several years of continuous suppression, the power of the local factions in Central Asia has been greatly weakened, and now I am afraid they cannot make much trouble.
But Du Fei had a hunch that the balance achieved by sacrificing the Central Asian local factions this time would not last long.
Although the strength of the local factions in Central Asia is not as good as before, the battle between trapped beasts is even crazier.
This makes this balance very fragile, and there are various uncertain factors, such as the bodies of old Tokaya and Gromi, and the rapid growth of Sheliepin.
But no matter what, at least the current situation has blocked the way for some people.
…
The year has turned and the time has come to 1986.
The Chinese New Year will be here in just over a month, and the capital city is shrouded in a blanket of snow.
It snowed for two consecutive days, intermittently and never stopped, and even if someone cleared it away, a thick layer would inevitably accumulate.
Du Fei was drinking tea in the office when suddenly the phone on the desk rang.
Last year, the telephones in his office were switched from dial telephones to touch-tone ones.
Next to the phone stood a big red butt monitor.
This is the latest small computer developed by Jinzhou at the end of last year.
And under Du Fei's suggestion, he designed a keyboard, mouse, and Chinese character operating system.
In fact, even Du Fei had not expected this Chinese character operating system.
He had only proposed the concept of the mouse before and was able to come up with the mouse before Apple.
The Chinese character operating system is purely the result of our scientists' own efforts.
Du Fei was shocked when he saw this computer for the first time.
Under the guidance of a dedicated person and after using it for a few times, he realized that the computer technology in this world was likely to have huge deviations.
According to the current situation, three major branches have emerged according to the camp.
One of them must be headed by America, Du Fei’s pre-travel technology.
The second is Sulian's computer system, including the famous ternary computer.
The third is the computer and network systems that Huaguo has spent tens of billions of dollars on over the past few years.
Not long ago, two computer bases, one in the south and one in the north, completed the first large-scale remote data transmission through telephone lines.
Although there are still many problems, slow speed, and data loss, it is undeniable that this is a milestone achievement.
But, to be honest, this computer produced by Huaguang Electronics Factory really did not meet Du Fei's aesthetics.
The red engineering plastic monitor back shell is copied from the black and white TV, and the mouse and keyboard are of the same color...
Du Fei answered the phone and his expression changed immediately.
Ten minutes ago, America's Challenger space shuttle suddenly exploded dozens of seconds after takeoff.
Du Fei had known for a long time that something would happen to America's space shuttle, probably in the past year or two.
I wasn't particularly surprised when I heard the news, but after all, it was a big deal.
After the successful launch of America's space shuttle, there were actually some voices hoping that we would follow suit and at least make some technical preparations.
After all, Huaguo has some foundation at this time. Whether it is economic or technological, it is not comparable to the same period before Du Fei traveled through time.
This put Zhu's father under some pressure, especially from the army.
Although there has been continuous disarmament in recent years, it does not mean that the importance of the military has declined. On the contrary, military expenditures and scientific research expenses have increased significantly every year.
This explosion can pour some cold water on some people's minds and calm them down.
However, to Du Fei, the space shuttle explosion was just an irrelevant episode.
Now his focus is more on Kuching.
The Asian Games will be held in Kuching in six months, and preparations are currently in the final stages.
South Korea, which was originally supposed to host the 1986 Asian Games, had to wait until 1990.
…
Unexpectedly, a few months later, when the Asian Games in Kuching were about to begin, something happened to SULIN.
Du Fei walked quickly into Dad Zhu's office.
Dad Zhu’s expression was serious and he was on the phone.
When he saw Du Fei coming in, he raised his hand to signal him to sit down. He continued talking for another two minutes before putting down the red phone. He walked toward Du Fei and said in a deep voice, "Sure enough, something happened!"
Du Fei nodded and asked: "To what extent has it developed?"
When Xie Lieping came to power last year, only the local Central Asian factions were sacrificed. At that time, Du Fei felt that those people would not just sit back and die.
In addition, Mosco's authority was unable to exert its maximum efficiency in factional checks and balances, giving those people an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Du Fei judged that if Xie Lieping did not take measures as soon as possible, something would happen to Central Asia sooner or later.
However, Xie Lieping has never taken any action. From the beginning of last year to the present year and a half, he has only done one thing: rebuilding the team.
With his own prestige and qualifications, as well as the highest reputation in his hands, and with the help of old Toka, the new Sheliepin sect was quickly formed and grew rapidly.
In addition, Shelepin completely turned a blind eye to the actions of the Central Asian local factions.
Some people analyze that he has no real power in his hands and has too much time to take care of himself between the two major factions. Others feel that twenty years of negotiation has long killed the former Shulike, and the current Xie Lieping is just a lifeless old bureaucrat.
During the Chinese New Year, I was discussing with Dad Zhu and his three uncles who were back home, and Dad Zhu woke Du Fei up with a word.
I'm afraid it's not that Xie Lieping didn't take action, but that he just wanted to wait for the local factions in Central Asia to make the matter bigger.
Many things are usually difficult to handle, but under special circumstances it may only take one sentence.
It was this special situation that Xie Lieping was waiting for. If it didn't exist, then he would create one artificially.
Looking now, Dad Zhu’s previous judgment was absolutely correct.
Du Fei couldn't help but frown. Although this trick was effective, it had serious side effects, especially the damage to the Guo family's reputation.
A rebellion broke out in the dignified Speed Alliance, which is simply shocking!
If it were Xie Lieping twenty years ago, he would never have used this method, but now...
Du Fei said: "Dad, this matter is not trivial. Will it lead to a big change? Once Sulian is defeated, America will definitely go all out to deal with us."
Dad Zhu pursed his lips, took a few puffs of cigarette, and said with a heavy heart: "Let's take a look at the situation first... It shouldn't be the case. Leaving aside Shelieping, Lao Toka and Gromi are both scheming.
people."
Du Fei nodded in agreement. One thing is certain, this matter will not last long, but many, many people will definitely die.
…
Sure enough, at noon the next day, Xie Lieping came forward directly to give a televised speech.
It clearly expressed a strong position that any sinner who attempts to undermine the Soviet Union will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
At the same time, troops began to be mobilized from Europe to establish a counterinsurgency posture.
But that night, an airborne troop stationed in Afhan suddenly raided Alam, the capital of Kazakhstan, overnight.
Because there was internal support, there was no exchange of fire. They directly occupied the airport and then broke into the city...
Early the next morning, when Du Fei got up, he received the exact news that everything was over.
Facing this result, Du Fei couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Is this the method of ‘Iron Fist Shulik’?
Old Tokar is also old and comes from a decent background. This is not his style.
Gromi, on the other hand, came from a foreign teacher's family, and he did not have the courage and determination to do so.
It can only be Xie Lieping.
The plank road was built in the Ming Dynasty, and the sound was heard in the east and attacked in the west.
More importantly, in just one and a half years, Shelieping was able to command the garrison as far away as Afhan.
Du Fei didn't know how he did it.
Judging from the results alone, Xie Lieping, who was knocked off the dust from the clouds and was severely trained for twenty years, now shows abilities and skills that are even better than Androbo.
It took less than three days for the outside world to realize that the whole thing was over before it was too late to take any action.
Moscow announced to the outside world that it had defeated the insurgent activities of a small group of bad elements.
Secretly, he took advantage of the situation and completely wiped out the local factions in Central Asia.
During the period of back-and-forth communication and consultation between the Gromy family, Sherepin backhandedly gained power in Central Asia.
At this point, Xie Lieping completed a magnificent turn in one and a half years.
In Moscow, he reorganized his base and joined forces with Old Toka, which was enough to suppress Gromi.
At the local level, it conquered Central Asia in one fell swoop. It was no longer the temporary puppet that some people thought it was, but actually held real power.
This set of extremely fast and violent actions not only caught many people in Speed Alliance by surprise, but America was also confused.
When I first learned that there was civil strife among my old rivals, I immediately felt like I had been given a shot of blood, thinking I had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Unexpectedly, we just discussed it for a while and it was over before we even thought about how to intervene.
Afterwards, some newspapers lamented that this was probably the best chance to defeat SMU.
Subsequently, Xie Lieping kept his promise and did not continue to attack the local factions, but instead focused on rectifying work style issues.
From work style to life style, clean up the atmosphere.
Because it is a large-scale attack, it is not targeted at a certain local faction, and the crackdown is not too strong. Although some people complain privately, it will not lead to a big fight.
In this atmosphere, time came to 1987.
In this year, the war between Babylon and Persia finally ended.
Almost at the same time, Sulian gave up the plan to seize the seaport of Indu Ocean, and after Xie Liepin took Central Asia, he announced the end of the operation in Afhan and withdrew from Afhan without mercy.
The Afhan War was a legacy of the Polezhny era. For Shelepin, there was no worry about ending this war.
Especially after he gained control of Central Asia, it became even more urgent to end the war and restore stability.
And as Shate continues to increase production and oil price futures continue to fall, Sulian's finances are tight.
From a practical perspective, it is indeed necessary to stop the bleeding as soon as possible.
…
The following summer, the capital ushered in the largest sports meeting in history.
The number of participating countries exceeded that of the previous Moscow and Los Angeles Games, and the total number of athletes also created a record high.
After several years of renovation, with a total investment of more than 4 billion, the new look of the ancient capital was shown to the world along with the televised footage.
The huge and majestic stadium, the spacious and flat roads, the beautiful athletes' village, and the grand opening and closing ceremonies...
After 1949, for the first time, the whole world saw this ancient Eastern country that had stood at the top of world civilization for thousands of years. It once again became the third most powerful fruit company in terms of comprehensive strength after America and Sulian.
In the end, the medal list of this Games was still ranked first by SDL and second by America. However, with the home field advantage, Huaguo won 50 gold medals, almost the same as the first two, leaving the second tier behind.
