Soviet Union 1991

(Second update, good night everyone, I haven't been feeling well these past two days, so I'm not going to stay up late to make up for my sleep, so today's update will be a little less)

The Soviet Union and Japan signed a series of trade agreements, mainly focusing on the electronic technology industry, including electronic chips and software development. According to the Soviet Union, it is to learn from Japan's advantages in electronic technology in order to form a competitive advantage in the local electronic industry. As we all know, Europe has long imposed a military and technological blockade on the Soviet Union, resulting in the development of high-tech industries slightly lagging behind the West. So the Soviet Union is also racking its brains to make a breakthrough in this area.

Presumably, for other countries around, Japan, as the world's second largest economy, has become their best choice. The Soviet Union seems to be helping Japan slow down the recession after the collapse of the economic bubble, but in fact it is using this opportunity to develop its own electronic technology industry in order to break through the blockade of Europe and the United States.

The carrot and stick policy has achieved great success. The two countries that were competing against each other and wanted to start a war a few days ago have become economic partners who shook hands and made peace in the next second. Miyazawa Kiichi also put all the blame on the head of the Self-Defense Agency. On the second day after the two countries signed the treaty, Nakatani Gen announced his resignation as the director of the Self-Defense Agency.

Watching the image of the two national leaders shaking hands and talking in a friendly manner, the crowd in front of the TV was also a little confused. What tricks were these politicians playing? But they didn't understand one thing. There was only a relationship of interest between countries, and there was no reliable friendship at all.

Of course, Miyazawa Kiichi's "rebellion" would always cause dissatisfaction in another country. The US government, which did not get any benefit in this exercise crisis, protested against Miyazawa Kiichi's behavior. They believed that Japan's move was undermining the alliance between the two countries.

Of course, as a politically cunning fox, Miyazawa Kiichi was also able to mediate between the two major powers, especially after the pro-American factions were suppressed in this action. On the one hand, Prime Minister Miyazawa Kiichi continued to conduct economic trade with the Soviet Union, and on the other hand, he also increased trade cooperation with the United States, especially in terms of tariffs. Under the pressure of the Americans, he made some adjustments.

Trade barriers are the best way to protect a country's industry. Every country will set up some tariff barriers to ensure that local industries will not be strongly attacked by foreign brands. Especially in terms of tariffs, it is particularly important. Japan, which did not fully grasp its autonomy, had to use this method to win the favor of its allies.

In short, it can compete with the Qing Dynasty back then.

On the home front, the Soviet government is also trying its best to promote electronic technology in order to popularize it on a large scale. The future must be an era of modern communication technology. Yanayev does not want to turn a huge Soviet Union into a country like North Korea. At the very least, it is catching up with its southern neighbors.

The current Soviet Union is still in a transitional stage of the economic system. Although some commodities have been marketized, most of the products are still under government supervision. In the words of Rezhkov, the reforms of the year were too radical. It led to terrible inflation that almost destroyed the entire Soviet economic system.

However, the Soviet people can rest assured that they no longer have to queue up to buy bread and meat. The Soviet government has relaxed the production of daily necessities under the premise of macroeconomic control. Private production workshops have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, filling the original gap in bread supply. What Yanayev had to admit was that the farmers introduced from China were indeed much more reliable than the Slavs who only knew how to drink vodka. The soil that was originally considered uncultivated by the government also blossomed and bore fruit in the hands of the hardworking people. It alleviated some of the shortages in the grain market.

Of course, the current Soviet Union still needs to import agricultural products from China on a large scale to fill the gap. As the granary of the Soviet Union, Ukraine, Yanayev has increased the agricultural support for this member state. As long as the situation in Ukraine is stable. The people's living standards are at a moderately developed level, what democracy and freedom, go to hell.

Since the severe blow to the bureaucracy, Yanayev has also begun to work on democratic reforms. Since the August 19th coup, the government has been holding the gate of public opinion. In addition to the newspapers supported by the Soviet Propaganda Department to spread the spirit of the central government, Surkov, who obeyed Yanayev, also let the speech loosen a little to breathe. Although it is forbidden for private newspapers to be run by the people, those who stand on the position of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union still put forward some insignificant self-criticisms.

For example, it is necessary to vigorously solve the privilege and eliminate corruption. We must come from the masses and go to the masses. The government naturally responded to these voices very well and expressed its position. In the general direction, Surkov absolutely did not allow anyone to criticize the policies of the CPSU. He was committed to banning all discordant voices from the outside. Not only the Soviet Union. Even the United States is the same, otherwise there would not be a figure like McCarthy.

The freedom and democracy of the Soviet Union must be a democracy under the guidance of public opinion by the government, not a democracy controlled by external mouthpieces. Those public intellectuals who are unwilling to cooperate can only be expelled from the Soviet territory in the name of the Communist Party of China, and those who are willing to cooperate will become the secret propaganda weapons of the Soviet Propaganda Department. Use some high-level black flattery to disgust the people, and use an exaggerated kneeling and licking posture to show everything about America.

Of course. Not to mention that the masses will be disgusted, even they themselves dare not look back at the brainless words they have said.

It is no wonder that some people compare him to the second gray cardinal, Leninist, and communist Puritan who appeared in the Soviet Union since Suslov's death.

Perhaps Americans do not know that under the Soviet Union's public opinion strategy and economic recovery, the penetration of so-called liberal thoughts has become blocked, as if there is an invisible iron curtain to curb their propaganda offensive. And the construction of this invisible wall also has a credit for the Los Angeles riots. The incident of the ruthless suppression of the masses by the American police has at least shattered the image of America where freedom is long lived in the hearts of some people.

"You can do whatever you want in front of the country, even commit crimes openly, but in the United States this is an act that must be punished by law. This kind of thing has nothing to do with the system, it has nothing to do with it, it is the basic law of mankind."

This sentence was quoted by the Soviet Union as a slogan for the construction of the legal system, reminding everyone that no one can be an exception in front of the legal system. In this way, the Soviet Union gradually stabilized, and the wave of calls for a great disintegration had passed. Although there were occasional splashes, it could not make any huge waves.

But there are always some restless clowns who think they can change history and change the direction of the country's progress.

The situation in the three Baltic countries is vaguely unsettled. (To be continued.)
