    The corners of the chess game do not seem to affect the mainstream of the chess game, but when many corners are gathered together, they can kill a dragon and reverse the situation.

    At the core of this chess game, in the center of a normal stage play, Yeltsin was finally elected President of the Russian Federation with 57% of the votes. This spineless guy who was a traitor to his country hurried to the United States before he could officially take office.  Visit to the United States as President of Russia.

    "The New York Times" commented: "Yeltsin no longer has to enter the White House through the back door to ask for an audience with the President of the United States."

    In order to determine the future status of the Soviet Union, and most importantly, whether it is necessary to continue to exist, the Soviet Union held a national referendum. However, the three Baltic countries boycotted this and did not participate in the referendum.  In fact, the three Baltic countries and Georgia have become independent from the Soviet Union, so whether to retain the Soviet Union has no practical significance for these countries.

    According to the referendum held in March 1991, more than 70% of the Soviet people still advocated retaining the Soviet Union. However, what the Soviet Union should look like after the reform has different views and opinions from the top leaders of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, different factions, and representatives of the union republics.  .  In order to coordinate the interests of the union republics, the Federal Council began to draft a new alliance treaty. The location was chosen at the Novo Ogaryovo government villa 3 kilometers away from Moscow.

    The new covenant changed the name of the Soviet Union to the "Union of Sovereign Socialist Republics", and even the abbreviation was written and pronounced the same as the abbreviation of the Soviet Union.  But even if the abbreviation is the same, the name already highlights the word sovereignty, so the central power of the Soviet Union as a unitary country will be greatly weakened, and local governments will gain more autonomy and be able to control the Soviet Union.  The center creates checks and balances.

    The Covenant discusses the status and distribution of power between the central and local governments in the new Soviet Union. In addition, how to divide the unified army, whether the command of the armed forces should be decentralized to sovereign republics, and whether economic reforms should be carried out.  Changes, such as larger-scale privatization and the issuance of new currencies in some countries; whether the unified infrastructure of transportation, oil and gas transmission, electricity, communication systems, etc. also needs to be adjusted and changed.

    Of course, figures like Gorbachev and Yeltsin will not worry about more detailed issues. The issues they are actually fighting for are more high-end, involving a series of issues such as national sovereignty, military ownership, and financial power.  It can be said that every issue here determines whether the future Soviet Union will be a unified country or a federation, or even a loose confederation.  It also determines which faction will dominate the future political situation.

    Because the topic is sensitive and the positions are quite opposing, the discussion is very explosive. Whenever the discussion at the venue becomes suffocating, Gorbachev immediately stops it and invites the representatives to have a meal.  Banquets usually help to ease the mood, but once the banquet is over, everything returns to the original state, and no one will give in easily, because if you give in, you will never be able to stand up again.

    At 2 pm on July 2, the Federal Council held another meeting. This meeting was mainly to discuss fiscal and taxation issues.  The meeting lasted two hours without making any progress.  Gorbachev believed that the central government should levy taxes on each enterprise and be responsible for adjusting the amount they paid. This put the power of finance and taxation in the hands of the central government. No matter how the following worked, as long as the central government had money and the subordinates did not have money, then  The Soviet Union was still able to maintain the strength of the center.  Yeltsin insisted that every republic must implement the principle of single-channel fixed contributions. This was obviously a matter of leaving aside the central government of the Soviet Union and allowing local governments to control financial power and bypass the economic capabilities of the central government.

    "If this is not written into the treaty, then I have nothing to do here." Gorbachev said as he packed up the folders and prepared to leave.  In fact, he wanted to put on airs and intimidate Yeltsin into making concessions.

    But Yeltsin didn't buy his account at all. He already knew what kind of thing Gorbachev was. He was indecisive, ambitious and talented. He liked to shirk responsibility when things happened. He also didn't have enough patience at all and was prone to panic and make decisions.  Ridiculous decision.

    "Don't force us to solve this problem in your absence." Yeltsin said calmly, but in fact it was the most direct threat to people's hearts.

    Gorbachev never imagined that as the President of the Soviet Union and the host of the meeting, he would be contradicted by Yeltsin like this. Moreover, Yeltsin's implicit meaning was that we can make decisions without you. The implication is that the Soviet Union  Without it, the union republics can still live a good life.  Gorbachev was in a dilemma and was extremely embarrassed. He did not get angry on the spot. After all, in front of so many representatives, he simply announced the adjournment of the meeting and found a way out.

    A few days later, Gorbachev once again held a secret meeting with Yeltsin, Nazarbayev and other leaders of the union republics in power in Novo-Ogaryovo. He did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all. The differences and contradictions were so serious.  Huge, but naively believed that this discussion could completely solve the alliance tax issues left in the draft alliance treaty. He even wanted toA date was set for signing the new alliance treaty, even though the intention to sign was not reached at this time.

    Not only that, in the secret meeting, Yeltsin and Nazarbayev suggested to Gorbachev that in order to calm the pressure from conservatives within the CPSU, KGB Chairman Kryuchkov and Defense Minister Yazov should be directly transferred to  , Interior Minister Pugo, Soviet Vice President Yanayev and Prime Minister Pavlov and other high-level officials of the Soviet Communist Party were replaced by more liberal and enlightened figures to promote the entire negotiation process, in case those who have a tough attitude are simply unwilling  The conservatives who allowed the Soviet Union to be weakened delayed the Soviet Union's "big plan" to resurrect from the ashes.  Gorbachev was originally dissatisfied with the old obstructionists and stubborn conservatives. At this moment, he clearly forgot that he and Yeltsin were not on the same side, and Yeltsin could not completely think about him, so Gorbachev once again made an appearance.  This was a foolish thing. He agreed to the proposal to replace these senior conservatives of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

    But who are the people Gorbachev wants to punish? They are the most powerful politicians in the Soviet central government.  The secret talks held in the Novo Ogaryovo villa had actually been monitored by the KGB. When the conservatives heard that Yeltsin, Gorbachev and others were actually trying to harm themselves, of course they could not tolerate such provocative actions, and even more  It is to protect one's own power.

    In fact, the degree of unity among conservatives is beyond people's imagination. For example, Yeltsin's radicals, in addition to the so-called democratic liberals and party rebels, are either nationalists from various places. They are loosely organized, have only been established for a short time, and have no organizational structure.  What is too effective is basically relying on the support of the West and its own propaganda.

    The list of conservative bosses is scary enough: KGB Director Vladimir Kryuchkov, Soviet Defense Minister Dmitry Yazov, Soviet Interior Minister Boris Pugo, Soviet  Prime Minister Valentin Pavlov, Vice President of the Soviet Union Gennady Yanayev, Vice Chairman of the Defense Council of the Soviet Union Oleg Baklanov, Gorbachev's Secretariat Chief Valery  Bolding and Shenin, member of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and so on.

    ??Almost all the senior officials in the cabinet who can be named by name have already boarded the same ship.  When Gorbachev planned to replace some senior conservative officials, these conservative leaders finally couldn't sit still.

    Pavlov said anxiously: "Once Gorbachev's order is issued, we will be finished. We will probably never rise again in this life. That white-eyed wolf Yeltsin will turn the Soviet Union into Russia, and those of us who have too much  People with a strong red color are even placed under house arrest and under surveillance.¡±

    Kryuchkov said secretly: "In this case, we should not let them have this opportunity to knock us down and then do things that can only undermine the stability of the country."

    Yazov raised his brows and asked: "Vladimir, you mean, we are about to launch an attack now."

    As soon as the word was spoken, almost everyone held their breath. The KGB had been preparing for a long time ago how to deal with the Soviet Union's emergency situation. In fact, this was a "coup guide" with the purpose of maintaining the Soviet Union and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.  At the same time, attacking those lawless radicals also taught the brainless Ge Shi a lessonØ­

    Those who participated in this small group knew from the day they joined that they might eventually embark on this dangerous path and launch a coup to remove those eyesores and put the country back on the right track.

    But this is not an easy thing. Even these gentlemen, who are above the rest, know that due to the decline in living conditions and the Western propaganda offensive, many Soviet people believe that the Soviet system and the existence of the Soviet Union are the culprits that caused their miserable lives.  , and if they want to protect the Soviet Union, they may go against most of the citizens, even if the citizens are deceived.

    Kryuchkov said: "It is still possible to choose to withdraw at this time. We respect the choice of any comrade."

    ????????????? In fact, some of these people are really courageous, but there is no use worrying about it at this point. If you take a risk, you will die, but if you don¡¯t risk your life, your life may be mediocre.

    After looking around for a week, Kryuchkov found that no one expressed willingness to retreat, and then nodded and said: "The loyalty and love of all comrades for the country will be remembered by future generations."

    But everyone knows that the people who launched the coup may be criticized in the future, and the weapon of public opinion is in the hands of the West. They don¡¯t know how this coup will be written.
