Chapter 78 The Congress of the Supreme Soviet
"The president held a friendly and friendly talks with Soviet Foreign Minister Gromiko who came to attend the UN General Assembly not long ago. Both sides expressed inconvenience to disclose the specific content of the talks. It is reported that this is the first time that the Reagan government has met with the Soviet leader since its internship. Some commentators believe that this meeting was the reagan government's accusation that he refused to contact the Soviet leader in order to fight back against his accusations..."
At the White House press conference, a White House spokesperson suddenly revealed to the media that Gromiko and Reagan had a meeting, which caused a thousand waves. In less than 24 hours, the whole world knew about this surprising meeting.
However, Gromiko, one of the parties involved, was very dissatisfied with the meeting. The Americans simply emphasized the issue of the Soviet Union's medium-range missiles deployed on the western border. There was no intention of reconciliation with the Soviet Union. Gromiko became an excuse for Reagan to block his opponent's attack on him.
When the news reached Moscow, Gorbachev was not only surprised, but also feared Gromiko's diplomatic ability. He still didn't know whether Gromiko and Reagan had reached any agreement. If Gromiko achieved a major victory on the diplomatic front, then new variables would appear in the dispute over the second-in-command of the Soviet Union.
Gorbachev would never allow this to happen, so he began to intensively meet with the top leaders of the franchise republics. Since Gorbachev held economic power, all franchise republics faced the problem of supply of materials. Therefore, Gorbachev was absolutely attractive to the leaders of some small franchise republics.
Gorbakkav promised to increase central financial support for the three Franchise republics along the Boro coast - Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The first secretaries of the three Franchise republics quickly expressed their firm support for Secretary Gorbachev's economic policies. Immediately afterwards, the three Transcaucasian countries - Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia also chose Gorbachev's camp, and finally the Republic of Moldavia, which borders Romania, also participated.
The one who supports Gorbachev the most is the first secretary of Georgia, Shevaldnaze, who is now a member of the Politburo. Since Georgia is close to Chechnya, it sometimes has to bear a lot of unnecessary pressure to serve as the first secretary there. Shevaldnaze desperately wanted to work in Moscow, so Gorbachev naturally agreed secretly.
When Gromiko returned to Moscow, he had no outstanding achievements to be made in the Politburo. Gromiko sorted out his meeting with President Reagan into a written report and submitted it to the Politburo. Naturally, there was nothing in this report that praised the American government. While reading the report, Gorbachev took the opportunity to attack Gromiko.
It was under this undercurrent that Seriosha welcomed his first National Congress of the Supreme Soviet. Before nine o'clock in the morning of the first day of the conference, the national Soviet deputies from all over the country rushed to the Kremlin Hall in black Volga cars.
After Seriosha's special car stopped in the square in front of the Kremlin Hall, Seriosha stepped onto the red carpet leading to the venue. There were too many representatives today. This was the first time since Seriosha traveled through time that he had seen so many people attend the same event. He had just walked out of the car, and soon comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs gathered around him. Seriosha followed them into the venue with the flow of people.
The interior of the venue was brightly lit, and at first glance there were dense seats. The background of the rostrum was a huge modern portrait of Lenin, with the words 1922-1985 marked below. Seryosha felt that such a big scene could only be compared with the funeral of the leader.
Seriosha soon found his seat. His seat was in the second row near the rostrum. In the front row were the seats of ministers, and on the rostrum were the seats of the Politburo members. As nine o'clock approached, the venue was filled with people. As a burst of applause rang out, everyone stood up and welcomed the national leaders, led by General Secretary Chernenko.
The conference host walked to the podium and announced loudly: "Everyone stood up and sang the national anthem!"
Seryosha immediately stood up from his seat, and soon after, the song "Unbreakable Alliance" sounded in the venue.
The group chorus of nearly 10,000 people created a shocking effect, and Selyossa even felt that his blood was about to rise. Selyossa couldn't help looking at General Secretary Chernenko in the center of the rostrum. Secretary Chernenko's lips were singing slightly, and his face seemed to be much better.
After the national anthem was over, Seriosha returned to his seat! Although he had already entered the ranks of senior Soviet officials, at the Supreme Soviet Conference, the most time to be able to make a report was also the ministerial episode. Due to the special alliance nature of the Soviet Union, the first secretary of each franchise republic is two levels higher than the ministers. Because above the ministerial officials, there are higher-level departments such as the Alliance Academy and the Nationalities Academy.
This meeting was a government rather than a party meeting, so the first to report on the stage was Gyhonov, the chairman of the Soviet Union's Joint Ministers. After Kosykin's reform failed and forced to retire, Brezhnev was sent to the position of prime minister. However, he did not bring the Soviet economy back to a satisfactory road. Five years of career as chairman of the Joint Ministers has proved Gyhonov's ability. If nothing unexpected happens, Gyhonov will retire at the Second Conference of the Soviet Communist Party next year. As for his successor, it is still hard to say. At present, Gorbachev has the highest call, but there is a premise that Chernenko still occupies the position of General Secretary.
