(First update, please give me a favor, everyone, please vote for "Big Times 1958" and let it enter the top ten of the monthly vote list. Qingshan, I can only help you here. Xiao Chenchen who silently supports you behind the scenes~)

The 29th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union established three things. First, it established and affirmed Stalin's historical status and criticized and corrected the malicious smears of Stalin in the past. Second, it established socialist democracy with Soviet characteristics to replace Gorbachev's so-called humane democratic socialism. In short, the ideological rectification has come to a temporary end.

The third thing, which Yanayev believes is the most important, is the Soviet government's "opening up" and "saving" policies. Saving includes cutting social welfare and abandoning some currently unrealistic aerospace high-altitude projects. Everyone says that the Soviet Union's arms race and space race dragged down the economy of the Red Republic, but they overlooked one point. The Soviet Union had high livelihood expenditures that were no less than those of the Western welfare society. In the 1970s, the Soviet Union's oil exports earned enough foreign exchange to support a country's welfare expenditures. However, since the economy began to weaken in the 1980s, the Soviet government had to pay high welfare on the one hand and maintain the reasonable operation of the country on the other.

Cutting welfare projects is to eliminate the lazy mentality of the people and let them return to work to contribute their own value, rather than staying at home and eating the government's capital. Otherwise, even a country with a good economy can become a Greece.

In terms of "opening up", it is to start the comprehensive and balanced development of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries, especially the development of high-tech industries. Yanayev focuses on this area. Although the Soviet Union caught up with the wave of the third scientific and technological revolution, in today's development of high-tech information technology, the Soviet Union's military industry development model has become somewhat out of date. The previous conservative grasp of the electron tube has also led to the Soviet Union's increasingly narrow path in computer technology.

The Soviet Union's computer technology is not standing still, but it is progressing slowly.

Increasing the research and development of transistors is just one of Yanayev's reforms, although it is not as good as the United States in terms of overall high-tech. However, the Soviet Union, which has mastered black technology, has successfully developed the mini-personal computer with a light pen touch screen in 1969. It was just limited by the level and political factors at the time, and many great innovations did not continue, such as the Soviet Union's ternary operation rules.

The strategy of a strong country in science and technology. When Yanayev put forward this slogan at the meeting. People can't help but tremble and become energetic. The Soviet Union already has heavy industrial technological achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. Why should it put forward the slogan of a strong country in science and technology?

It was difficult for Yanayev to explain to them the future ten years from now and how technology would change a person's life. "The high-tech industry has brought about revolutionary changes in society. For example, the mobile phones we see now only have the functions of communication and communication. Who knows whether they will be able to process data like computers in ten or twenty years? What we need to do is to vigorously promote the development of high-tech industries."

"The United States has now realized this key point. Whoever masters technology in the future will control the world!"

Perhaps only a few people can understand the true meaning of Yanayev's impassioned speech, but what he has to do is to raise the Soviet Union's technological development to a new level with a future vision.

This meeting was not like the 28th meeting room full of quarrels and abuse. Instead, everyone was quietly listening to Yanayev's speech alone. Those declarations that pierced everyone's hearts and the far-sighted decisions made the general secretary shrouded in a mysterious veil.

The truth of their leader, the great leader, slogans and declarations became Yanayev's spiritual weapon to win over the representatives.

It was as if the person standing in front of them was not an ordinary General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, but... a great god, a god who led the country out of difficulties.

"The General Secretary is simply the reincarnation of Ivan the Terrible!" One of the literary representatives was shocked by this idea that suddenly popped up in his mind. But he thought about it again, and Yanayev's actions were indeed very similar to the most famous Tsar in history, Ivan IV, and he was even slightly adapted from the life experience of Ivan IV.

A great orator, a king who suppressed and massacred privileged nobles. An invader who conquered the European continent, a visionary leader, a cruel but kind tyrant. Ivan IV.

He shook his head to cut off this ridiculous idea, but from time to time, Solzhenitsyn's article on the Soviet Tsar would appear in his mind, and it seemed that the protagonist in it slowly overlapped with the image of the emotional orator on the stage.

When he really came to his senses, this most unorthodox and shortest congress in history ended just like that. Yanaev explained and planned the future tasks and the direction of the entire country in the most concise summary. Just as the delegates stood up and left the Great Hall, the writer representative saw the gray-haired Yanaev slowly packing up his manuscripts in his seat.

"Maybe, I can write a biography for the General Secretary?" The bold idea jumped out of his mind, and the writer's pores all over his body stretched out because of excitement. He stood up and walked towards Yanaev, full of curiosity and questions. He wanted to understand what secrets this person who changed the direction of Soviet history was hiding.

This time, the 29th Congress of the CPSU ended smoothly with applause. Although no one mentioned the leadership of General Secretary Yanaev during the meeting, everyone knew at the end that a stable and powerful leadership group with Yanaev as the leader was rising. Judging from the previous situation, this leadership group was fully capable of leading the Soviet Union out of its current economic difficulties.

When the delegates walked out of the Great Hall, the heavy rain had stopped, and the heavy clouds were torn apart by the sun, casting a flood of white light on the ground, illuminating the solemn and solemn steps in front of the Kremlin, leading to a brighter distance.

"The future seems to be as bright as this weather." The representative of the Soviet secretary from Belarus showed a gratified smile. He raised his head and looked at the crowd around him. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood in such good weather. The secretary turned his head and looked at the red star at the top of the tip of the Kremlin tower, like a burning flame, symbolizing the never-extinguished red spirit. (To be continued.)
