Chapter 544 Fang Mingyuan's Efforts
July 1990, 21, history will always remember this day
On this day, Lithuania, a republic of the Soviet Union, located on the shore of the Baltic Sea, with a total area of [-] square kilometers and a population of more than [-] million, officially declared its independence from the Soviet Union
At 40 o'clock in the morning, the President of the Republic of Lithuania, Adamkus, read the Declaration of Lithuanian Independence, and then the Lithuanian Parliament held a special session to celebrate Lithuanian Independence.The Lithuanian government also held a series of celebrations, including a solemn flag-raising ceremony on Independence Square.Since the [-]s, the Soviet flag that has been flying next to the flag of the Republic of Lithuania has not been hoisted this time, only the Lithuanian flag ushered in the dawn of a new day alone
Lithuanian President Adamkus also delivered an impassioned speech at the flag raising ceremony, in which President Adamkus deeply thanked the signers of the original Declaration of Independence.
Lithuania's declaration of independence caused great shock among Soviet leaders in the Kremlin
The first step of Lithuania's independence was to take over Lithuania's borders from the Soviet army, and the Lithuanian government also proposed that the Soviet army withdraw "decently" immediately, otherwise the two sides would become "hostile" countries.
People all over the world were shocked by this sudden change. From their point of view, the Lithuanian government's challenge to the Soviet Union's powerful national power seemed tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble and killing itself. With a land area of more than 6 square kilometers and a population of more than three million, it is really insignificant compared to the Soviet Union, which has a land area of more than [-] million square kilometers and a population of nearly [-] million.It even only needs an order from the Soviet leader, and in just a few days, the Soviet army can control the entire territory of Lithuania.
But the Lithuanians were elated and even ready to fight for independence.Many Lithuanians said in interviews with the media - 'We never thought we were part of the Soviet Union'.
When this news came out, people all over the world immediately turned their attention to the Soviet Union, to this small country by the Baltic Sea. Like the October incident in Hungary, troops were sent to suppress it.
Fang Mingyuan was immediately called back to the capital by Su Huandong.
"Mingyuan, what are your thoughts on Lithuania's independence incident? Can Lithuania truly become independent?" Su Huandong asked solemnly.The impact of this news on him was too great. Until now, Su Huandong still felt that the independence of Lithuania was impossible.But it did happen again. Thinking of the changes that occurred in Eastern Europe, Fang Mingyuan had talked to himself in advance, and during the Chinese New Year, he also vaguely mentioned that the Soviet Union is now socially unstable. Su Huandong couldn't help but have a question. Fang Mingyuan probably had a premonition about this matter.
"The independence of Lithuania is a great shock to the Soviet government. I think that the Soviet government should use various methods to avoid the expansion of this incident, and will try its best to suppress Lithuania's independence request. I personally think that the subsequent As the situation changes, the Soviet government is likely to use the army," Fang Mingyuan said bluntly.
"Use the army?" Su Huandong took a light breath. Although he had already thought of such a conjecture, hearing it from Fang Mingyuan still gave him a considerable shock.
"The leader of the Soviet government who used the army is very clear that if Lithuania's independence cannot be suppressed, then Lithuania's independence may become the trigger for the disintegration of the Soviet Union." Fang Mingyuan threw out a bigger bomb
"The Soviet Union disintegrated," Su Huandong cried out.For their generation, the Soviet Union stood in front of them like a mountain, so difficult to climb.Especially with its huge military strength, the oppressive Huaxia was a little out of breath.Such a country with the largest territory in the world, a country whose military strength is comparable to that of the United States, and a country whose economic strength is only inferior to the United States, may now face disintegration, which is really unbelievable
Fang Mingyuan understood his feelings very well, not to mention the current Su Huandong, even after December [-] in the previous life, after the flag of the Soviet Union was lowered from the Kremlin, the vast majority of people in the world still felt that it was like A dream, a superpower with strong military and economic strength that had weighed on the hearts of China and Western countries for decades, unexpectedly perished just like that
"Yes, the Soviet Union disintegrated. Grandpa Su, I believe that you know the current situation of the Soviet Union better than most people in the country. Since Stalin came to power, the successive Soviet governments have tried their best to suppress the other republics in the Soviet Union. Vigorously oppose local nationalism and maintain the tradition of Great Russian chauvinism. Therefore, all the cadres and intellectuals in the union republics who are dissatisfied with the central policy, demand the expansion of autonomy, and praise the historical and cultural traditions of their own nations are all regarded as bourgeois elements. Imprisonment, attacking and suppressing dissatisfied and resisting ethnic minorities as class enemies of socialism. Using class struggle to deal with ethnic issues results in the artificial creation of class contradictions and class struggles in ethnic relations, and puts the Internal contradictions were artificially transformed into contradictions between ourselves and the enemy, resulting in the expansion of long-term class struggles, seriously hurting the feelings of these ethnic groups, deepening the crisis of ethnic relations, and fueling the tendency of ethnic separation. These contradictions, during the Cold War period, because of the enemy of the United States, and It didn't show up. But the fact that the conflict didn't show up doesn't mean the conflict disappeared, but like a sleeping volcano, the longer it accumulates, the more violent it will erupt." Fang Mingyuan said in a deep voice, "The Soviet Union and ours The situation is different. We have the Han nationality as the main body. No matter which province we are in, the Han nationality has a stable majority. However, in the republics of the Soviet Union, the Russians do not have a stable majority. Lithuania is one of them. "
Su Huandong nodded, what Fang Mingyuan said was indeed the current situation in the Soviet Union.
"The three countries in the Baltic Sea were all independent countries back then, but they were divided up by the Soviet Union and Germany through a treaty in World War II. Later, the Soviet Union defeated Germany and forcibly included it in its own territory. It can be said that the nationals of these countries agree with the Soviet Union. It was not high at first. But after becoming a Soviet citizen, they were forcefully purged by the Soviet government, which occupied the majority of the leadership positions of ethnic Russians. Not only did the original conflicts between the ethnic groups not be resolved, but they forged new enmities. Now there are Opportunities will naturally erupt. Hey, after Lithuania's independence, I believe that other two countries will also declare independence in the near future. This will trigger a domino. When more and more republics declare independence, Can the Soviet Union survive?"
Su Huandong pondered for a long time before he said: "Mingyuan, what do you mean, if the Soviet Union really disintegrated, the main reason is that their national policy went astray?"
"No, no, no." Fang Mingyuan shook his head like a rattle, "I personally think that the most important reason for the disintegration of the Soviet Union is that the Soviet Communist Party is no longer what it used to be. Ordinary citizens broke away and became a special class above the Soviet citizens, a class that sucked blood by attaching to the Soviet citizens. What they did made the ordinary citizens of the Soviet Union feel the prestige and credibility of the government. It was completely lost. The nationals' disappointment with the Soviet Union is the root cause of this result."
"In addition to the deteriorating domestic economic situation in the Soviet Union, it is difficult to guarantee the basic life of the people. Compared with the nationals of European and American countries, the gap in living standards between the two sides is too large, there are too many unfair treatments, and the psychological imbalance of the people. This also exacerbated the process of the disintegration of the Soviet Union. If the overall living standard of the Soviets is no less than that of the United States, I think that even if this conflict breaks out, it is impossible to sweep the entire Soviet Union.”
Fang Mingyuan's words were not aimless.During the disintegration of the Soviet Union, although other nationalities, such as the nationals of the three Baltic countries, believed that after joining the Soviet Union, their lives would be worse than before. Their living standards were almost the same as those of their northern European neighbors, and they watched their neighbors' living standards flourish. However, he himself is like the sun is fading away, how can he be balanced in his heart.The Russians are also angry about this, thinking that Russia has assumed too many obligations to other nations, which has caused the living standards of the Russians to decline. , Even many media outlets in the Russian Republic have called for the separation of Russia from other republics.
In a country like the Soviet Union, the media largely represent the official meaning. As the main body of the Soviet Union, the top leaders of the Russian Republic, which is also the largest and most powerful country, have revealed this mentality. It can be said that it was unexpected, but it was within reason.
Su Huandong and Fang Mingyuan talked for a long time in the study, from noon to night, and after a hasty dinner, the two continued to talk late at night. That night, Fang Mingyuan stayed at Su's house.The next morning, he stayed away from Su's house and drove to the Capital Airport.The business in Japan has not been completed yet, and he has to rush back to Japan before Cameron returns to the United States and Kazuki Aso returns to the Soviet Union.
"What can be said, I have said it all, how much benefit the government can get from the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and how much warning it can get, whether it can be more enlightened than in the previous life, only God knows." Fang Mingyuan thought sighed.
