Soviet Union 1991

First update

As expected by Yanayev, on the third day after the Syrian offensive was blocked, Maziyel announced his resignation as the President of Turkey at a press conference. Under pressure from all sides, Maziyel had no cards to play. He lost everything in this gamble, and had no choice but to elect Ahmet Necdet Sezer to become the new President of Turkey.

For Yanayev, this result was a win-lose. The win was to keep the current Syria, not let Turkey provoke unrest in Syria, and maintain the stability of the domestic affairs of the Middle East allies. The loser was that in this way, the Soviet Union might not be able to prevent the US military from establishing an anti-missile program in Turkey. This will be another long struggle for Yanayev.

The oil production reduction plan announced by OPEC countries is also continuing to torment Ryutaro Hashimoto. Since the start of the plan a week ago, the price of oil has increased by $10 per barrel, which is undoubtedly stimulating countries trying to conduct new oil transactions with the Soviet Union. Japan, South Korea and China are both indignant and helpless about what OPEC has done. After all, they are the leaders of crude oil prices in the world.

When the dollar is linked to oil, the economic hegemony of the United States is revealed.

Ryutaro Hashimoto called Yanaev more than once, trying to change the new agreement price to lower the oil export price in the Soviet Far East. The shrewd Japanese Prime Minister saw an opportunity. The reduction in oil production in the Middle East is a pressure for them and for the Soviet Union. Once the Asia-Pacific countries give up the deal under this invisible threat, then Yanaev's previous actions will be in vain.

Things have developed to this point, how can Yanaev tolerate failure. Comrade Miller, the newly appointed deputy minister of the energy development department, naturally entered Yanaev's eyes. As Putin's future Kremlin Eight Vajra, Yanaev included these young people in the objects of cultivation. I hope that when the old guys retire from the system, they will not drag the young people down. Comrade Vladimir represents the future of the Soviet Union, while Yanaev and his colleagues who persisted in the August 19th Incident will bid farewell to this red republic as the past.

The Soviet Union will only be reborn, not perish.

For Miller, it is an extremely honorable thing to be trusted by Yanaev. Even he does not know why he can gain the trust of Dmitrev, the Deputy Minister of Trade, in a short period of time, and then almost rise to become the youngest Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Energy.

Yanaev just saw the talent of this young man. For the old-fashioned bureaucratic system, the talents of young people are often suppressed. Even the Soviet Propaganda Department was separated from the system by Yanaev to become an independent department, which slightly saved the bad political propaganda image.

"What do you think about the recent announcement of the production cut by the Middle East Petroleum Exporting Organization, Comrade Miller?"

Yanaev always has a certain high hope for young people. He asked Miller to come to his office not to ask Miller for advice, but to see how far the other party can go in the future through his attitude.

"OPEC has reduced crude oil production by about 10% in almost half a month, and international oil prices have also begun to rise sharply. This is a provocation to our Far East development plan and oil export plan. General Secretary Yanaev, we can take advantage of this time to increase oil production and provide crude oil to Asia-Pacific countries."

"Isn't OPEC's bottom line from the monopoly of the oil price market? As long as we can break this monopoly, their sanctions will be invalid."

Ambitious Miller said shockingly, "The best thing is to let Asia-Pacific countries settle oil with rubles. In this way, even the Americans can't stop our oil sales."

Oil is linked to the ruble. Miller's ambition is indeed not small, but Yanaev is confident that the Soviet Union does not have this ability. After all, the last country that tried to settle oil with the euro has now been shattered by the attack of Tomahawk cruise missiles. As for the euro that wants to challenge the monopoly of the US dollar hegemony? During the European debt crisis, Goldman Sachs Investment Bank almost used a financial fraud method to cheat Greece, Spain, Italy and Germany.

At the beginning, Goldman Sachs helped the Greek government cover up a public debt of up to 1 billion euros through financial means, so that the Greek government met the standards for joining the euro zone on its books, and successfully sent Greece into the euro zone. It also planted the seeds for the subsequent crisis.

If the European debt crisis is not a means used by the Americans to destroy the euro zone, then it is as ridiculous as the United States becoming a hegemon in order to maintain world peace.

No wonder the capitalists became the biggest obstacle to the workers' movement at that time. The Soviet Union, which was in the period of economic reform, did not want to face a strong financial shock. However, these methods of Goldman Sachs would not work in the Soviet Union. Because the Soviet political economy was completely in the hands of the government, Yanayev did not have to borrow money from capitalists to maintain operations. And capitalists like the separation of powers the most, because the separation of powers gives capitalists the opportunity to use their dirty means to make money. Greek politicians sold out the country and the people's interests in exchange for their own votes. Bringing Greece into the euro zone seems to be the best result for political performance.

"The Soviet Union's economic strength is not yet at the point where it can settle rubles with oil. Comrade Miller's idea is good, but it is too difficult to implement."

Yanaev hopes to let the euro challenge the US financial hegemony first, so that he can take advantage of the opportunity to reap the benefits. Of course, when necessary, the Soviet Union will join hands with China to build an economy so that it can cope with the financial challenges from the West after the US defeats the EU.

Yanaev leaned back in his chair and said slowly, "Comrade Miller, you still need to ask other people for advice on this issue. Our most important goal now is economic construction, not entangled in international crises. Therefore, the Soviet Union's foreign policy for nearly six years has been mainly defensive, not offensive."

Yanaev put a document on the table, "This is our last trump card to defeat Saudi Arabia and enhance the confidence of Asia-Pacific countries. This card is to give them a shot of adrenaline when the Asia-Pacific countries are about to lose confidence."

Yanaev's eyes became deep. It is estimated that those complacent guys would not expect that they still have such a trump card in their hands.
