Chapter 13 What Are the Consequences of the Upheaval in Eastern Europe?

Chapter 13 What are the consequences of the drastic changes in Eastern Europe?

In the following days, although Lin Lian still lived with Fang Mingyuan, her underwear would no longer be hung in the toilet. But even so, whenever she took a shower, the toilet was still full of women.

The rich body aroma is intoxicating.

Finding a house was not going so smoothly. In Beijing in the 1990s, it was not as easy as it was in Fang Mingyuan's previous life to find a residence that was satisfactory in terms of location, layout, decoration, and size.

Lack of money. Later, Fang Mingyuan even planned to let Lin Lian, Zhao Ya, and Feng Qian live in Chen Zhong's room, and Liu Yong live in his own place, as long as he could buy a room in this community.

Chen Zhong and the others will live there first, and then continue to make adjustments when suitable housing becomes available in the future.

The Beijing branch of Fang Family Restaurant is about to open, which takes up a lot of Lin Lian's energy. Fortunately, the Su family has informed all parties in advance, and those relevant departments have given the green light all the way. However, even so, there are still many chores.

Lin Lian was so busy that she often couldn't go home until ninety o'clock in the evening. Fang Mingyuan's family knew about his family affairs, and this kind of specific work was not his specialty. If he really wanted to get involved, he would probably only get more help and chaos, so he could only work in the kitchen.

Fang Mingyuan did her best to meet Lin Lian's needs. Every day, ginseng soup stewed by hens was prepared for her, and Lin Lian no longer needed to intervene in household chores. Fang Mingyuan hired a nanny, and she only had to come to work during the day.

That’s it.

These miscellaneous things were not basically completed until the end of Fang Mingyuan's winter vacation.

Just two days before the start of school, Su Huandong once again recruited Fang Mingyuan.

During this period, the Hai Fumin defamation case had come to a conclusion. Xun Guohui told Chi Jingyu the matter in detail. Chi Jingyu mentioned it to the Supreme Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate. The case immediately became a nine-year-old case.

The most eye-catching case in the Chinese judicial system in Year 0. The Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Supreme People's Court transferred the entire case file to the capital as quickly as possible, and quickly came to the conclusion that Hai Fumin, the facts revealed and reported were basically

It's true. Hai Dazhuang, the secretary of the Chiqieloutian Township Committee, and a government employee, abused his power to retaliate against the whistleblower in this case. And the court in Chixian County even misinterpreted the law and acted as an aide.

The relevant personnel involved in the case will naturally be held criminally responsible. The main persons in charge of the Chixian court, procuratorate, and police station will be given major demerits, demoted, and dismissed. Even Chixian

He, the county party committee secretary and the county magistrate were also severely punished. Hai Fumin was naturally acquitted, but Hai Dazhuang fled from Chi County after learning about the news and disappeared without a trace.

"Chixian County and Ji Province have issued arrest warrants, and Hai Dazhuang is wanted across the country. This matter has basically come to an end." Su Huandong said with a smile, "Are you satisfied with this result?"

Fang Mingyuan shrugged: "Let's make do." It would be a pity not to catch Hai Dazhuang and bring him to justice. And in Fang Mingyuan's view, if the result of this matter cannot become a routine

, then it does not prevent the endless "defamation of leaders" cases from occurring in previous lives. Although, in previous lives, the occurrence of such cases was concentrated in the years after two thousand years, but it does not represent the previous

Not in recent years. It is only because of the development of the Internet that citizens have more channels to disseminate information, which has exposed these cases. Before that, due to the lack of information, I don’t know how many similar cases there were.

It just happened in obscurity. This time, it was purely accidental. If I hadn't bumped into Xun Guohui, if it hadn't been for my persistence, I'm afraid it would have ended in nothing.

"Just make do?" Su Huandong raised his eyebrows, "It's not easy to have such a result." If this matter hadn't been mixed with Fang Mingyuan's contribution to the gold mine, which attracted the attention of the top management, he would have wanted to

How could it be so easy to overturn the original court's judgment and deal with such a large number of officials in such a short period of time? This is tantamount to a slap in the face to the local government.

"Grandpa Su, I think this is not enough. We should be ruthless and directly remove all the persons in charge of this case in Chi County for investigation, or even no longer use them! Only in this way can we really kill the chicken to show the monkey.

, so as to prevent similar cases from happening in the future. There was an old saying in the past, "The prefect who ruins the family, the county magistrate who destroys the family", but after all, he is still a high-quality official. A township committee secretary, this was not the case in the past.

A petty official who has entered the mainstream can clamor to expose and report him, which is an insult to the party, the government, and all Chinese people. And the court actually handles it accordingly. Hai Fumin is imprisoned, and his wife, children, and children are reduced to beggars. Such consequences will be

What kind of impression does the world have? The reputation of the party and the government can be easily removed by more than just smearing it?" Fang Mingyuan said bluntly, looking directly into Su Huandong's eyes.

Su Huandong sighed softly. He didn't know what kind of psychological feelings such a result would bring to the people. However, being in a high position does not mean that he can do whatever he wants. What's more, the judicial aspect is not his at all.

Within the scope of jurisdiction, it is not difficult to complain and exert some influence, but it is extremely difficult to really change anything.

Fang Mingyuan looked at Su Huandong's slightly older face, but in the end he still didn't say everything in his heart. How could he not understand Su Huandong's difficulty? If this matter was easy to handle, why did he wait until twenty years after the previous life?

Cases like this are still emerging one after another, challenging the endurance of the people.

"Grandpa Su, let's not talk about this. This time, I have some ideas that I want to share with you." Fang Mingyuan took the initiative to change the topic. Promoting judicial independence is a long and arduous task, and he wants to take a step forward

In place, that is undoubtedly a foolish dream.

"What's your idea?" Su Huandong was immediately interested. Every time Fang Mingyuan solemnly said that he wanted to exchange ideas with him, he would always be surprised.

"Grandpa, you must know that on December 23 last year, US President Bush and Soviet leader Gorbachev announced the end of the Cold War at the summit in Malta."

Su Huandong's eyes flashed with surprise, and he nodded slowly: "Yes, this is a sensational news. As a government official, how could you not know about it?"

After the end of World War II in Europe, the Yalta System began to take shape. In 1949, the United States-led NATO was established in Western Europe and both sides of the Atlantic, promoting capitalism and vigorously supporting anti-Soviet regimes in Europe, regardless of whether their governments were

Democracy or dictatorship. At the same time, the Soviet Union vigorously strengthened its military occupation of Eastern European countries, promoted communism and supported pro-Soviet communist regimes. In 1955, the Warsaw Pact was established. At that time, except Yugoslavia, all Eastern European

All countries joined, and the socialist camp headed by the Soviet Union formally formed a military alliance in Eastern Europe. The political blocs between the United States and the Soviet Union launched an all-out confrontation in Europe, and the world has since entered the "Cold War Period."

During the decades of the "Cold War", the entire world had been shrouded in the cloud of nuclear war. However, with the decline of the Soviet Union's economy and the coming to power of Gorbachev, the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union was, on the surface,

It was gradually easing until the leaders of the two countries announced the end of the cold war in Malta, and the whole world cheered.

"So last year, the Polish United Workers' Party implemented the policy of political pluralism and trade union pluralism and held a roundtable meeting with Solidarity. The meeting reached an agreement on legalizing Solidarity and holding parliamentary elections. Only in last year's general election, Poland was united

The Workers' Party lost, Solidarity won, and the government was formed. Does this mark a drastic change in Poland's political and economic system?" Fang Mingyuan then asked.

"Yes! Judging from the ruling program of the past six months since Solidarity came to power, it can be said that Poland has officially embarked on the path of pursuing Western-style parliamentary democracy in politics and the development of a market economy based on privatization in economy.

Road." Su Huandong nodded. In fact, it's not just that. On the 30th of last month, the Polish United Workers' Party held its 11th Congress and announced that the United Workers' Party would cease its activities. A man who had been in power for 45 years and had nearly three

The big party with millions of members was dissolved in this way.

"President Ceausescu of the Republic of Romania was overthrown by the people at the end of last year. Grandpa must have paid attention to this matter, right?"

Su Huandong continued to nod. President Ceausescu encountered clear opposition from the masses at the mass meeting at the end of the year. Later, he convened a meeting of party, government, and military leaders and decided to suppress the masses. However, the Minister of Defense refused to carry out the order.

He was shot, but the chief of staff and a group of officers turned against Ceausescu and pushed him from power.

He also knew that the Romanian leader undermined intra-party democracy and was disconnected from the masses. Especially in the later period of Ceausescu's administration, he practiced personal arbitrariness and even family rule. His wife was in charge of cadre evaluation within the party.

A highly promoted member of the Politburo and first deputy prime minister of the government, the de facto second-in-command of Romania; his son is an alternate member of the Politburo and first secretary of the League Central Committee; his three brothers are deputy ministers of defense and chief political officers.

Director of the Ministry of Agriculture, Deputy Director of the State Planning Commission, and Principal of the School for Senior Police Officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs; his brother-in-law is the Secretary of the Central Committee in charge of agriculture, and even his daughter-in-law is the Vice Chairman of the All-China Women's Federation, Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and Chairman of the National Young Pioneers.

There are no less than dozens of people from this family holding important positions in the party, government and military departments, and they actually control all aspects of the country's political, economic, military and social life.

And he also knew that the former president of the Republic of Romania had been secretly executed.

"I believe grandpa has also noticed the changes in the Democratic Republic of Germany?" Fang Mingyuan blinked and said, "Have you ever thought about why all this happened?"

The situation in the GDR changed drastically in 1989. Starting in May of the same year, a large number of GDR citizens fled to the Federal Republic of Germany. Later, demonstrations of varying sizes broke out in many cities, demanding the relaxation of restrictions on overseas travel and news media.

In October, President Honecker of the Democratic Republic of Germany announced his resignation. Subsequently, the policy of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany changed: it recognized the opposition organization "New Forum" as a legal organization; it decided to implement a multi-party system. In November, the citizens of East and West Berlin were separated for nearly three months.

The "Berlin Wall" that had lasted for ten years was torn down. In December, Federal German Chancellor Kohl proposed a ten-point plan for the reunification of the two Germanys. It can be said that the changes in the two Germanys are dizzying.

Su Huandong's expression became solemn. This series of domino-like changes in Eastern European countries in 1989 can be said to have shocked China and foreign countries. Why did such an unheard-of event happen? Why did these socialist countries develop in such a short period of time?

How could such a drastic change occur within a short period of time? Su Huandong had also thought deeply about this issue.

In the late period of the Cold War, social contradictions in all aspects of these Eastern European countries became increasingly prominent. Due to the over-one-sided emphasis on the development of heavy industry, there was a huge gap in people's living standards compared with Western European countries. Moreover, the ruling parties and governments of these Eastern European countries

Because of the lack of supervision and elections, corruption and abuses of law and human rights continue to occur.

Looking at all the parties in Eastern Europe, they all have a large number of party members, accounting for a high proportion of the national population. Generally, they can reach 10% of the national population. In some countries, they can even reach 20%. The large number of party members

If the number of members increases, the overall personal quality of party members will inevitably decline. And because it is the ruling party, joining the party can be said to be the capital of an official, resulting in many people who are not qualified at all in political literacy to become officials.

They have entered the party one after another. However, after the number of party members in Eastern European countries increased, the political education of party members did not keep up in a timely manner. Instead, it was relaxed. In some countries, the political education of party members even existed in name only. The requirements for party members were confused with

Ordinary people, many party members are even inferior to ordinary people after joining the party. As a result, the party's image in the minds of the people has been seriously damaged.

At the same time, the standards for the selection of party leaders have also been lowered, and their quality has greatly declined. Party cadres, especially leading cadres, are specialized, enjoy privileges, and are constantly corrupted, which undermines the party's own construction.

For example, President Ceausescu of the Republic of Romania is the most vivid example. Many old party members in Poland commented that their previous leaders had "different advantages" but "shared shortcomings", and they all had "excessive centralization and insufficient democracy."

.It can be said that the decline in the quality of party members and party cadres is an important reason for the dissatisfaction of the people in Eastern European countries and the final drastic changes.

After Gorbachev came to power, the Soviet Union implemented a "democratic socialist" program that promoted the reorganization of Eastern European parties. At the same time, Gorbachev adopted the "Sinatra Doctrine" to reduce his control over Eastern European countries. This resulted in

Various conflicts accumulated over a long period of time in Eastern European countries during the Cold War have erupted for the first time.

Of course, the factors of peaceful evolution promoted by Western countries led by the United States are naturally indispensable.

"I believe the reasons for the drastic changes in Eastern European countries are enough for you, Grandpa Su, to write a book." Fang Mingyuan said softly, "I just want to know now that Poland has fallen, Romania has fallen, Hungary seems to have also fallen, the Democratic Republic of Germany has fallen, and Bulgaria has fallen.

It’s also up in the air. If this continues, what will happen to the Soviet Union? Will it brazenly launch a war? Or may it disintegrate?"
