When Voramir woke up from his coma, it was a few days later. His armored vehicle was attacked by anti-tank mines. The shock wave at the bottom tore open the weak chassis armor and took the lives of five members of the armored vehicle. Only he escaped danger by chance, but a shrapnel hit his eye. ([] )

The injury on his leg was cured in Kabul Hospital, but Voramir's left eye lost his light forever.

Voramir had to return to the Soviet Union from the front line because he was no longer suitable for fighting at this time.

According to Voramir's situation, he should be able to retire from the army, but he devoted almost all his life to the army. Voramir was reluctant to leave the army. Therefore, in his good friend Andrepavlovich, who is now the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kiev Military Region, transferred him to the logistics position of the Kharkov military base in Ukraine, which is close to the Russian Republic and far from the western European front. It is an important logistics base in the Soviet Union.

However, Voramir has been resentful of one thing, and his disability has not been paid. Could it be that it has been embezzled by some people?

"Our current Soviet Union is in a standstill in all aspects. We have a large number of farms, but our food cannot be self-sufficient. Our people even need to queue up to buy bread. Our economic income can only rely on the output of energy. All of this requires a firm leader to rejuvenate our country." Ligachev said.

Foreign Minister Gromiko listened to Ligachev's words and asked, "So, who do you think is the most suitable person for this firm leader?"

"We must first let the people have enough food. Gorbachev, who was born in the Minister of Agriculture, has been actively carrying out reforms in recent years. Everyone has seen the results. Gorbachev is relatively young and has sufficient energy and vitality to continue to carry out reforms. I believe Comrade Gorbachev can definitely take on this task." Ligachev said.

Now, the old Chernenko has been admitted to the hospital again. Chernenko is a transitional figure, and who is the next General Secretary is a concern for many people.

The Soviet regime change was a comprehensive contest, mainly depending on who could win over enough veterans, such as Gromiko and Ustinov in front of him!

The old guard Gromiko, as a diplomat on the front line, is now the foreign minister. He has experienced the Stalin era, Malenkov era, Khrushchev era, Brezhnev era, and Andropov era. As early as the Stalin era, he was favored by Stalin and served as the Soviet ambassador to the United States. If we include the current Chernenko, Gromiko can be regarded as a veteran of the Six Dynasties. Since he has been in the Politburo for many years, he has played an increasingly important role in policies and plans. For example, in the process of Andropov and Chernenko taking office, Gromiko was fully supported.

And the other one, Ustinov. Not to mention, he is the current Soviet Minister of Defense, and the most powerful military force of the Soviet Union is in his hands.

As a staunch supporter of Gorbachev, Ligachev lobbied the two men several times.

"Now, the various problems faced by the Soviet Union are already relatively complicated. We must find a young and capable person to lead the Soviet Union to the future." Ligachev said: "Gorbachev is deeply appreciated by General Secretary Andropov. Gorbachev made great contributions in General Secretary Andropov's reforms."

The elderly and sick husbands have been in charge of the country for several years. In three years, three leaders of the Party and the state appeared. At this time, a common voice has appeared in the top leaders of the Soviet Union: "We can't go on like this anymore." The Soviet Union and the country need new blood and a "young and strong" leader!

Therefore, Ligachev lobbied them from all aspects, such as Grishen and Romanov who were trying to reach the peak of power, had no advantage, because Grishen was already seventy years old at this time, while Gorbachev was only fifty-four years old.

Victor Vasilyevich Grishin was born in Sherpukov, Moscow Prefecture in 1914. He became the Soviet Red Army and fought bravely from 1938 to 1940. He joined the Soviet Union in 1941. He was promoted repeatedly, and was promoted to Moscow in 1967, entering the core of power of the Soviet Union. He served as an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee. In 1971, he became a formal member.

Grishin is also a tough-minded person who is used for reform. He acts actively and is Gorbachev's biggest competitor. However, it's a pity that he is too old.

Ligachev's words made Gromiko and Ustinov fall into deep thought. Until now, they have not determined which side to support, the Soviet Union, and this huge empire, who needs to take the helm?

The old Chernenko may not be able to do so soon, and they need to make a decision!

"What measures does Gorbachev have to save our country's economic disadvantage?" Gromiko asked.

Now, the Soviet Union needs reform. If it does not reform, then the Soviet Union will enter a dead end that cannot be withdrawn. Almost everyone knows that the so-called developed socialism has not been realized, and they have some deviations in theory. Therefore, they agree with Andropov's reform very much.

"Our country needs reform, and Comrade Gorbachev is the main representative of reform. Although it has not been formally proposed, I have communicated with him that it is impractical to be eager to overthrow the economy. What we need to do now is to comprehensively improve socialism in a planned and comprehensive manner. There is a "non-adversarial contradiction" between our production relations and productivity. With the development of productivity, production relations should be adjusted and improved frequently. We need to put out some funds to focus on the development of our agriculture. At the same time, we need to accelerate the development of the machinery industry and continue to catch up with the United States. Also, we must launch an anti-alcoholic campaign, starting with this movement, and combat some of the social problems in our current society." Ligachev said.

"We need to think about it again." Gromiko looked at Ustinov and said to Ligachev.

Ligachev was a little surprised. Did he say it wrong?

Watching Ligachev go out, Ustinov asked, "How is it? Do you have a different opinion on what Ligachev said?"

Gromiko said: "Now, General Secretary Chernenko is still here, we don't need to draw conclusions so quickly. We need to observe again that our country needs reform, but how to reform, I always feel that Gorbachev is not as steady as General Secretary Andropov. The steps he needs to take are a bit big."

Gromiko's considerations were very thorough. After all, there were already some things deeply rooted in the development of the Soviet Union. Now, Gorbachev wants to break this framework. Can it be achieved?

"How is it, did they agree?" Gorbachev asked.

Ligachev shook his head: "At the beginning, I felt that they were very moved, but then, they did not agree as I expected."

These two old foxes will not express their opinions until the last moment, Gorbachev thought to himself.

"We also need to win the support of KGB Chairman Chebrikov. With his support, we have the greatest hope," Ligachev said.

Looking at the person who was running back and forth for him, Gorbachev was very moved. Now, Ligachev was the one who stood firmly on his side.

"Ligachev, why do you support me so much?" Gorbachev suddenly asked such a very incompetent question. At this time, he really wanted to know that although the two were old friends for more than ten years, and although they had reached a tacit understanding.

"Because, I am sure that you are the only leader of our Soviet Union who can walk in trouble," Ligachev said.

At this time, Ligachev was very supportive of Gorbachev, but, a few years later, Ligachev finally began to oppose Gorbachev's theory, and the two parted ways...Amir, our next move is to establish a stable supply relationship in Ukraine and import a large number of weapons from Ukraine." Kusai said to Amir Mahmoud, who was in charge of military equipment.

After several actions, Kusai was very satisfied with Amir, so the next very focused action needs to be arranged now, that is, importing weapons from Ukraine!

"This..." Amir thought for a while and then replied: "Okay, I will immediately make a request to the Soviet Union, and then contact the responsible departments of Ukraine. What weapons do we need to import from Ukraine?"

Kusai shook his head: "The actions we are about to carry out do not need to alarm the top leaders of the Soviet Union with great fanfare. Who are they working for now to become the next Soviet leader? How can we bother them at such a critical moment! At most, we only need to contact those departments that directly possess weapons and reach an agreement with them."

When Kusai finished saying this, Amir was obviously shocked. President Kusai said this, wasn’t he just going to smuggle weapons from the Soviet Union? However, President Kusai has always been very wise, and he must have his purpose when he said this.
