Under the guidance of Gorbachev's idea of ​​economic development as the center, batches of military projects were forced to be cut in half. Faced with the military's dissatisfaction and complaints, Selyosha was helpless. The interests of the army will definitely be damaged. Moreover, Selyosha would not let the military do business no matter what. For those subordinate officers and soldiers, Selyosha could let them work in the enterprise, but for those military talents who were middle-aged and had been studying how to fight against the US imperialists all their lives, it would be a bit of a waste of talent to let them work in the enterprise.

Faced with the military's dissatisfaction and complaints, Selyosha had no choice but to try to resolve the military's conflicts, such as transforming warships piloted in the Pacific Fleet into fishing boats and ex-federation fishing business with retired officers and soldiers. Not only did he provide a large amount of seafood to the Soviet Union, but he also indirectly generated income for the military system. However, this kind of show of goodwill is just a drop in the bucket for the military and the KGB system.

Gorbachev has long stopped taking the KGB and the Ministry of Defense as one thing. Faced with the trend of independence of the franchised republics, Gorbachev planned to draft a "New Alliance Treaty" to replace the treaty to join the Soviet Union in 1922. However, these things are actually meaningless to Seriosha. Because the franchised republics have the risk of breaking away from the Soviet leadership and establishing their own businesses. Therefore, Seriosha dared not invest in these areas, fearing that meat buns will go and fight dogs without returning. Faced with the reality that Seriosha brought the Soviet economy back on track, the dissatisfaction of the franchised republics has increased day by day.

Seriosha was afraid that separatism would affect his investment, so Seriosha was very biased to concentrate all the projects on Russia. This made other franchised republics even more dissatisfied, and to a certain extent encouraged the rise of separatist forces. Seriosha was helpless about this, just as Western capitalists regarded Eastern European countries that had just escaped from the Soviet Union as investment forbidden areas, and Seriosha also regarded those franchised republics that wanted independence as investment forbidden areas.

Judging from the current situation, armed intervention and economic envelopment cannot make the Soviet Union as it used to be. Because armed intervention will attract international sanctions, in that case, the Soviet Union's just-improved economy will slide back into the abyss, and economic envelopment will be even more unreliable. Who knows whether those guys will give the Soviet Union a backhand after eating the big meal given by Seriosha?

Gorbachev and Yakovlev's new thinking policies made people of all ethnic groups in the Soviet Union start to consider the issue based on their own ethnicity rather than the starting point of the Soviet Union. Once the people's hearts are dispersed, it is impossible to gather them again.

At a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union not long ago, the Politburo member who represented Estonia and Latvia's interests asked Seriosha why the end of the Eurasian natural gas pipeline project was in Leningrad in the territory of the Russian Republic, rather than the port cities in Estonia and Latvia? Seriosha answered this question at the time.

"Because the source of investment in the Eurasian natural gas pipeline project is international creditors, and the Soviet government guaranteed the debts of this project. Estonia and Latvia have already declared independence on their own. If the Eurasian natural gas pipeline wants to be built into the above-mentioned areas, it will not only be inconsistent with the law, but will also arouse doubts from international creditors!"

Although the governments of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Moldavia were indignant, they could not refute it. They did not realize that not all countries in this world could be permanently neutral like Switzerland. These Soviet republics left the help of the Soviet Union and brought the economy back on track was a dream. Their economic level could not get rid of their dependence on major powers at all. They either went to the United States to ask for assistance or turned to the Soviet Union. The third other way was to join the unified market organization in Eastern Europe. Otherwise, there would be no other way out.

Franchise republics like Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have now completely exhausted the favorable feelings of the Soviet people. They want to enjoy the glory of the Soviet economy and not want to be led by the Soviet Union. How can such good things happen in the world? Seryosha has long published his views on these countries publicly. For those franchise republics that self-determinate and the Soviet Union and want to come back to take advantage of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union has no obligation to support them.

Selyosha treated these unchanging areas as burdens. Now he wished that these areas would become independent as soon as possible. The province would increase political risks to his economic development without reason. However, the conservative military did not see this, and some comrades in the party did not see this. They always believed that the independence of these republics should be used to prevent them from using all the Soviet capabilities. This has an irreconcilable contradiction with Selyosha's overall economic development.

Seriosha did not refuse this request from the military. Because he knew very well that these people made it. However, Seriosha could not use force to solve the independence problem of the franchised republic. However, under the political unstable situation, economic win-win would not necessarily achieve the expected results. This made Seriosha very embarrassed.

Gorbachev's "New Alliance Plan" is essentially similar to the unified market created by Seriosha in Eastern Europe. In many places, Seriosha can see the shadow of the unified market. However, Seriosha is also resistant to the "New Alliance Plan". Because once the "New Alliance Plan" is implemented, it will form a de facto competitive relationship with the unified market of the Gorky Group. The best result for Seriosha is that the Soviet Union will be completely disbanded, and then all the republics will become members of the unified market organization. Only in this way can Seriosha's own Eastern Euro circulate in a vast area from Eastern Europe to the Far East, thereby controlling the economies of countries along the way through currency.
