"It's not Iraq, they can't even produce the materials they produce..." Molensky shook his head. "I don't know where to go. The recruiters didn't have a clear statement. They just asked us to prepare. There will be a car to pick us up tomorrow and set off in unison."

"What if I don't want to go then? Will there be any danger?" Isabella asked worriedly. "Do you know about this in the factory?"

She has a lot of worries.

"If everyone wants to go back on their word, even if they don't want to go, there will be no one forcing them. They said that they don't need to bring their luggage or anything, and they don't need to bring food or anything. They just need to bring their valuable personal belongings with them... I don't know when I will come back in the future." Molensky also didn't know about this matter.

When he said this, the children playing in the yard were smiling happily, and the women who prepared the ingredients had a happy and sincere smile on their faces, which had been a long time since they saw them.

Looking at the dilapidated environment of the yard, Molensky didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment.

He even felt in his heart that he would probably never come back in his life if he left this time.

Betray the country?

This does not exist.

They just want to survive and to grow up healthily for the children.

If you don’t find a new way out, you will even starve to death if you continue like this.

Even Molensky, most of the children have grown up, but they cannot get any jobs. They can only hang out every day and rely on the small income of their families to maintain a basic life.

Salary has become history.

Almost everyone has forgotten when the last time they paid their salary.

"Is there really such a good thing over there?" Isabella still didn't believe it. "Don't let us go then, it's worse than the domestic environment."

Once you leave your country, you will become rootless duckweed.

The country is strong and there is no problem anywhere.

But the country becomes weaker, and this is not a good thing.

The powerful Soviet Union is no longer as strong as before, and even its own people cannot support it.

"It is said that it is an engine factory, and the salary is not too high and the security is relatively sufficient. Everyone will get $1,000 in cash before boarding the ship." Molensky introduced the conditions to several people.

Each person, a $1,000 settlement fee.

"Even if you don't go there, you will be paid $200 in cash and let people leave..."

"What if they snatch it back after getting on board? Once they get on board, they don't know where they will be in the future. We..." As women, Isabella always feels that this matter is not very reliable.

Not only did I feel at ease, but I was also worried.

It’s useless to distribute dollars after getting on board.

And when you get to the place, will it be slaughtered by others?

"No, I believe them. For them, what we need is our help to build the engine! And we need to work to get a better life and provide children with good growth conditions. Everyone, see how long has it been since they were so happy?" Molensky asked, pointing to the children who burst into sincere smiles from time to time in the yard.

Everyone looked at the yard, and almost everyone who didn't know the inside story showed a long-lost smile because of the abundant supplies.

With the collapse of the Soviet economy, Ukraine's aviation manufacturing industry, tank manufacturing, surface ships, etc. have all stopped.

There are no other products available in these factories.

"Damn it, those bastards, even the equipment in the factory was sold..."

"Perhaps we will use our original equipment in the future." Urimov said, "Today, the last batch of equipment in the factory is being packaged. Even if many people want to stop it, they can't do anything..."

The area about three kilometers away from the yard where a group of people holds a gathering has a continuous rough style, mottled appearance, and looks old. It has a brick and wood structure factory with Soviet characteristics.

This factory is a tank engine assembly factory under the Kharicov Machinery Manufacturing Bureau.

The factory and the open spaces are covered with weeds.

Even some concrete paved inside were pushed away by the tenacious vitality of the grass emerging from the ground.

For a long time, no one saw those who once walked into the workshop with a confident smile on their faces, causing various machinery and equipment to roar to produce the powerful engines used to allow the Soviet army to lightning attack any enemy tank.

But today, it is different from the previous situation.

In the open area in front of various workshops in the factory, there are many large trailers and cranes.

In front of these vehicles, there were countless workers wearing dirty work clothes.

Today, the workers do not have the confident smiles of the past.

Everyone's faces were full of anger.

They stopped these vehicles that installed important production equipment in the factory.

This is already the last batch of equipment in the factory.

Several factory leaders in suits were holding handheld speakers and persuading the angry workers: "Comrades, everyone should understand the difficulties in the factory... We have not paid wages for two years. Our lives have made us very sad as factory leaders... The troops no longer have money to produce tanks, and the country has no funds to supplement..."

"You are treason!"

"Yes! You guys are selling national assets!"

"Without equipment, and when the country needs us to make it, how do we make it?"

Faced with the explanation from the factory leaders, these workers simply disagree.

The equipment in the factory has been emptied by these bastards.

The workers and technicians on the front line of production can’t even afford to eat, and these leading cadres still have various banquets all day long, and their quality of life has not been reduced at all.

Where does this money come from?

All are inventory resources sold in the factory.

Now, even the equipment is sold.

Everyone's life will be gone in the future.

No more jobs.

"Comrades! I know everyone is very sad. The Soviet Union is over! Our country does not need such a huge tank manufacturer... We are just a part of the engine manufacturer..."

The factory leaders explained with great thought.

"As leaders, in our hands, the factory is so unwilling to fall to such a level." The leader looked lonely and continued: "The superiors have asked all units to find their own way out! We need to transform and purchase production equipment and study new products... If the transformation cannot be successful, everyone will lose their jobs... and the superior authorities cannot provide funds, so we can only seek the source of funds ourselves..."

"Fuck, you sold equipment for your officials to squander! Don't believe them! The so-called transformation is just a lie, an excuse for them to sell equipment... Once you lose equipment, we will never have any job opportunities again..." A middle-aged worker in his forties stood up.

The others were also excited.

I was about to rush up and kill these bastards who sold the equipment in the factory.

"You are the borers of the factory! Now there is no production task, and you will start reselling the equipment in the factory!"

"Everyone misunderstood us! As cadres, it represents the image of the factory! We are a large factory with strong technical strength. If the leader wears rags, others will think that he has no strength... Look, please open your eyes and see, except for the suits we bought from street stalls, what are we wearing inside..."

The factory leader had no choice but to climb onto a container.

Under the gaze of all the workers, they took off their suits outside.

Looking at the factory leaders, everyone was stunned.

The leaders who took off their suits surprised everyone.

The leaders originally buttoned the suits, but after taking off their coats, the shirts inside were incomplete!

There is only one collar, not even a sleeve.

There is also some fabric on both sides of the buttons...

"Comrades! There is no task in the factory, and everyone's life is not easy... For everyone's life, the factory leaders have to seek business every day and seek opportunities suitable for our development... We are an engine manufacturer, and finally found a long-term order to produce automobile engines... But we need funds, whether it is the funds negotiated with the other party or the new production line, we need..."

The factory leaders turned lonely.

Anyway, they have the same meaning - if you want the factory to survive, you must have business.

And the business, they found it.

But to produce new products, new equipment, tooling and fixtures must be included.

All of this requires money.

How do you get the money?

The superiors did not approve the funds at all, and everyone could not afford their salary.

The only way now is to sell equipment.

"We keep all the general equipment, and everyone knows this. Now, only by selling these equipment can we have startup funds..."

What a good leader.

For everyone's life, they are under such great pressure, and everyone's disagreement.

The workers who were originally angry and indignant, now began to blame themselves.

And in the corner not far from here, there are several people from Dongfang Kong.

"Uncle, this bastard actually used a fake collar to fool these workers... If these workers knew the truth..." Luo Feng looked at the scene in the distance and shook his head.

He was exhausted and felt tired after standing for a few minutes. Liu Dongsheng, who was haggard, yawned and snorted coldly: "If they hadn't had their high-skill methods, could we get those high-precision machine tools? And the price was low..."

"My uncle, these equipment are fine, let's go back and rest early."

Seeing that Liu Dong and Shengfeng could blow down, standing for a few minutes, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Luo Feng wanted to help him, but was pushed away by Liu Dongsheng: "I haven't reached that level yet!"

Without pushing Luo Feng, he staggered and almost fell down.

"Let's go and go to the dock to see. These bastards can't do anything well." Liu Dongsheng was helpless.

Walking is always floating.
