Ligachev wanted to take back the money from the Moscow state ministries and committees to enrich the treasury, but this kind of thing was not so easy. Within a few days, the complaints from various ministries flew to the desks of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee like snowflakes.

Ligachev knew what these people were thinking without looking at it, but the heads of these ministries were too natural. Without Comrade Gorbachev's support, how could Ligachev take his own initiative to calculate the small treasury of these ministries and commissions?

Ligachev estimated that it was good. Not long after, Gorbachev sent all the letters sent to him. Gorbachev didn't even read these letters. After a while, Gorbachev's dedicated line directly called Ligachev's office.

"Comrade Ligachev, don't be scared by temporary difficulties. Reforms must always make choices. I hope you can withstand the pressure and carry out the cause of national fiscal reform..." Gorbachev's tone on the phone was very firm, and he stood firmly on Ligachev's side in his words. If Seriosha knew Gorbachev's current attitude, he would definitely be shocked.

Why did the General Secretary, who always supported Seriosha, suddenly joined forces with Ligachev? In the final analysis, it was due to the huge financial loopholes caused by the Chernobyl incident. In fact, when it comes to the relationship between Ligachev and Gorbachev, both of them were valued during the Andropov era, and in the Chernenko era, the two had once joined hands to fight against the powerful "old men" in the party. Ligachev and Gorbachev had many like-minded places, but when Yakovlev was arranged to take charge of ideology in the secretariat, Ligachev and Gorbachev inevitably faced a break.

Ligachev was responsible for party affairs for a long time when he was working in the local area. As a firm member of the Soviet Communist Party, Ligachev never thought that there would be any problems with the Soviet socialist path pioneered by Lenin and Stalin. Ligachev had instinctive resistance and vigilance against the West. He rarely went abroad and was full of opinions about the "rightist" like Yakovlev who could sneak into the supreme leadership of the Soviet Union.

However, both Ligachev, Gorbachev, and even Yakovlev were deeply worried about the difficulties faced by the Soviet Union's economy. However, the three people's judgments on the direction of reform were very different. Ligachev always believed that reform should continue in the way of Secretary Andropov and Secretary Chernek when they were alive. Yakovlev lived in Canada for ten years and was very envious of this country with vast land and wealth but no ambitions. Canada is a typical welfare society. Although he does not have much say in international affairs, his people live a happy life. Yakovlev believes that the Soviet Union should not bear too much responsibility without national interests, such as leading the socialist camp and the confrontation with the West, and an arms race with the United States. In Yakovlev, this is of no benefit to improving the quality of life of the people.

Gorbachev gave Ligachev a shot of a heart attack by phone, and Ligachev felt a hint of warmth in his heart. The last time they said that they lived was when Chernenko was alive. Someone ran to Chernenko's hospital bed to talk about Gorbachev's slander, and Ligachev happened to know about this. Ligachev took the initiative to call Gorbachev to report his work to the General Secretary on time. At that time, neither of them would have thought that there would be such a big difference in political views in the future.

"Secretary, how do we reply to the official letters sent by these ministries?" Ligachev's secretary found an opportunity and asked cautiously.

"Just tell them that this matter was decided by the central government. They understand that it must be implemented, and they do not understand that it must be implemented! And not only must it be implemented, but also meticulously implemented in accordance with the requirements of the Secretariat. Before the end of the month, I will see that various departments hand over the accounts of these enterprises under them to the National Planning and Economic Commission. Whoever does not hand over me will be removed from their posts!" Ligachev said firmly. This matter was rarely supported by Secretary Gorbachev. Ligachev had long wanted to cure these ministries and commissions that used their power to make a fortune.

When Seriosha received a reply from the Central Secretariat, he angrily tore the official letter to pieces. In his reply, Ligachev not only asked him to hand over the Mediterranean Trade Company to the Central Committee, but also asked him to hand over the management rights of the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank to the Soviet National Planning and Economic Commission. This is to completely emptiate the rhythm of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

Selyosci would never compromise with Ligachev in any case. The Mediterranean Trade Company controlled the export of other subsidiaries and commissions, while the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank was an important tool for Selyosci and these ministries to divide the spoils. Where did Ligachev get the confidence to take away the rights in his hands?

"Yulia, prepare the car, I'm going to the Kremlin!" Seriosha picked up the phone and said to Yulia. Because Nasja was sent to London to take charge of the work of the foreign trade bank in the UK, Seriosha temporarily brought Yulia, who was quite fond of her, back to Moscow as his secretary. Yulia was naturally full of expectations for working in the national ministries and commissions in Moscow. As for his business in Ukraine, Yulia was not worried. As long as Yulia could still hold Seriosha's thigh, he would not take a videotape and swallow her profits.

After receiving Seriosha's instructions, Yulia immediately contacted the driver to set off. Seriosha kept writing and drawing on the notebook with paper and pen. He was thinking about how to convince Gorbachev to let Ligachev take back his life.

The car slowly bypassed the Red Square and drove into the inner city of the Kremlin from the heavily guarded side door. Selyosci's special car stopped near the last cordon. The guards first saluted a military salute, and then politely asked Selyosci to present their ID.

"Is there anything wrong recently? Why has the inspection suddenly become so strict?" This was not the first time Yulia has been here. He asked the guards curiously.

"I don't know, we did this according to the requirements of the staff around the General Secretary. The Secretariat said that the General Secretary has worked too much recently. In order to arrange time as much as possible for the General Secretary to rest well, they asked every visitor who came to visit the General Secretary to wait here for arrangements!" The guard explained patiently.
