Lithuania's independence set a very bad precedent among the Soviet republics, and the Supreme Soviet Conference of Estonia and Latvia, which followed closely, also announced the start of the process of independence. Therefore, for Gorbachev and the Soviet central government, the 28th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was the last opportunity for the Soviet Union to gather the country.

Although Lithuania has declared independence, the Lithuanian Communist Party has split, and from the Soviet constitutional procedures, unilateral declaration of independence is invalid and must be officially recognized by the Supreme Soviet. Therefore, Lithuania still sent representatives to participate in the 28th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

Selyoscis was not in Leningrad. He obtained the status of people's representatives through elections from foreign economic and trade systems. Therefore, the election of people's representatives in the Leningrad region happened to leave a large number of vacancies for the people of Selyoscis. Sobchak, Yeltsin, Nasja, Goman and Pugachev were elected as people's representatives in the Leningrad region and entered the Leningrad Soviet Conference.

The original intention of this election was to allow various political factions of the Soviet Union to temporarily unite and put the contradictions on the table of the Supreme Soviet Conference to discuss publicly. Therefore, many democratic factions who had never held public office appeared on the list of people's representatives. Seryosha could imagine what the 28th Congress would look like based on this list alone.

Although Seriosha was very popular at the 28th National Congress, it is very likely that he would go further in his career, age has always been a flaw for Seriosha. Therefore, Jeltsin, under Seriosha, became the key target of support. Whether in terms of age or resume, Jeltsin is a trump card in Seriosha. Now the cooperation between Seriosha and Jeltsin has a good understanding. Seriosha can easily raise funds for various large-scale infrastructure construction, and Jeltsin has rich experience in managing these projects. It can help Seriosha deal with some trivial things in the project process. And Jeltsin is now very

Cherishing feathers, Selyosha would not worry that he would fill his pockets. However, Selyosha would not really not give the Jeltsin family any benefits. With his help, Tatyana, the daughter of Jeltsin, now runs a board building factory, responsible for providing part of the residential board building houses for Selyosha’s huge natural gas pipeline project. Because Selyosha’s natural gas pipeline will run through the entire Russian Republic, the project is too huge, and the pulling effect on the Soviet domestic industry is simply immediate. There are countless board building factories like this, so the small business of the Jeltsin family is not at all prominent.

The total investment of the entire natural gas pipeline project is nearly US$200 billion. After completion, Gorky Financial Group will obtain 50 years of exclusive operating rights. This is a bot project that uses international funds to build. The so-called bot is the abbreviation of construction-operation-transfer. Seriosha provides funds for the entire project through financial institutions under Gorky Group, and then earns costs and profits through operation, and finally transfers it to Su.

The United Government. The Soviet government did not spend a penny in the entire process, but in fifty years, it would obtain a natural gas pipeline across the east and west of the Russian Republic. Areas including the Tyumen Oil and Gas Field and Siberian Oil and Gas Field will be connected by this pipeline. In addition, this pipeline will also extend northward in Leningrad, connecting the natural gas pipelines of Sweden, Finland and Norway, and connecting the existing natural gas pipelines in Central Asia and the Caucasus to the south. Finally, it will be connected to the already built pan-European natural gas pipeline project.

The entire project is too huge, and many European media even call this pipeline the eighth miracle of mankind. In fact, this project had already started construction very early. The project began early exploration work when Seriosha went to Europe to raise funds. Later, due to the Georgia incident, European investors were not confident enough, so a large wave of withdrawals occurred, and the entire project was once in a difficult situation. In a critical moment, the Bank of Colombia took action to revitalize the entire project. Later, Occupy Petroleum, Glencore, Enron Energy, British Natural Gas Corporation, etc. participated one after another. Then a brand new company was established - Eurasian Natural Gas Group.

In the future, including early construction and later operations, the Eurasia Natural Gas Group will be responsible for the Eurasia Natural Gas Group. Among the shareholders of the Eurasia Natural Gas Group, Seriosha's Gorky Group directly or indirectly controls 60% of the shares, while the remaining 40% are mainly controlled by European investors. As for those investors who withdraw from the middle, they may even regret their intestines now.

Because this is a bot project, the entire project construction can generate profits one day earlier. Seriosha issued a dead order to build a main gas pipeline that runs through the east and west by the end of the year. It was under such harsh conditions that the entire gas pipeline project absorbed a large amount of labor at once, and even the engineering troops of the Soviet Red Army were put into this project.

In Sverdlovsk Oblast, the hometown of Jelitsin, the proud Ural Heavy Machinery Factory of the Soviet Heavy Industry has opened a full horsepower to produce steam turbines for the Eurasian natural gas pipeline engineering. In Ukraine, Dneprpetrovsk, the sufficient orders for Eurasian natural gas pipeline projects have revived many already in troubled steel companies.

Controlling natural gas has always been Selyosha's wish for many years, because oil resources have long been controlled by the seven sisters of Petroleum. No matter how much Selyosha blew, it would not cause much waves. Natural gas is different. In the future, the basic energy of electricity, metallurgy and other industries in the entire Europe will be natural gas. Controlling natural gas is equivalent to pinching the throat of the entire European industry. The stable profits brought by natural gas are beyond the reach of oil.

The Eurasian Natural Gas Group has seen a glimmer of hope for the entire Soviet Union's storm economy. Not only Europe, but even Japan and South Korea in the Far East, are looking forward to the early start of production of this project. Japan's desire for natural gas has reached a near-crazy point. It is precisely because of this bait that Seriosha obtained the natural gas pipeline production technology that the Soviet Union could not master for many years, and the key technology for the production of large gas turbines. Seriosha has now spread these technologies to the metallurgical industries of Ukraine, Russia and Poland. This has reduced the total cost of the entire natural gas pipeline project by a huge margin.
