Chapter 80 The Disintegration of the Soviet Union

"Son, why haven't you started working yet?"

Meng Shuang was resting today. When she woke up in the morning, she saw Li Yifeng hanging on the sofa watching TV and not going to work. She was suddenly surprised. It was a weekend two days ago, and Li Yifeng stayed at home every day and didn't go out. She thought her son was resting, but today was Monday. Meng Shuang was dissatisfied with Li Yifeng's appearance. Why did she go to Lingnan and she didn't want to go to work?

Only then did Li Yifeng remember that he forgot to tell his mother that he had been fired by the Huaxia Daily.

"Mom, I was fired by the newspaper."

Li Yifeng said lightly, but his eyes were fixed on the Central Program on TV.

Meng Shuang nodded at first, but was stunned for a moment: "You were fired!"

After his voice rose a few decibels, Meng Shuang quickly walked to his son: "Xiaofeng, aren't you kidding with mom?"

She couldn't figure out what mistake her son made, and she would be fired by the newspaper. Even if that article caused an uproar, she would not have dismissed Li Yifeng from public office regardless of the face of the Li family.

A dignified Beijing University graduate was expelled from the newspaper, which made Meng Shuang's face look ugly all of a sudden.

Just as she was about to speak, Li Yifeng pointed to the scene that suddenly flashed on the TV and smiled: "Mom, it seems that the leaders of the newspaper are about to cry!"

The TV screen is Central Station 1, which is broadcasting important news. Looking at the round and bulging tower buildings on the screen, Meng Shuang smiled and said, "It seems to be Europe."

But then what the CCTV News reporter holding a microphone said in front of the picture made her stunned.

"Now we are reporting for you in Moscow, and the Kremlin is behind me. Just early this morning, a military coup occurred in Moscow. The soldiers of the coup occupied the Kremlin. The military spokesperson said that they had successfully controlled the situation and we are still understanding the details."

Meng Shuang looked at his son with a strange expression. Li Yifeng had already guessed this scene. His article was clearly written. The result of the intensification of conflicts in the Soviet Union would inevitably lead to a massive change, and even more intensely, such an unreasonable event that might turn into a military coup.

As expected, Li Yifeng was right. The contradictions in the Soviet Union were indeed extremely intensified, and huge turmoil was right in front of him.

On the evening of the 19th, the China News Broadcast broadcasted news that a coup occurred in the Alliance of Soviet Socialist Republics and conservative forces occupied the Kremlin.

In the following days, history did not change at all, just as Li Yifeng knew in his previous life, but the time for the Soviet Union to announce its disintegration was ahead of the beginning of September. On September 5, the Soviet President announced his resignation and handed over state power to the Russian President. The next day, the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union passed the last resolution, announcing that the Soviet Union ceased to exist, and from then on, the Soviet Union officially disintegrated.

At this moment, the conservative forces in China finally gained the upper hand and began to hype theories of opposing bourgeois liberalization and preventing peaceful evolution.

Of course, no matter what population it is, Li Yifeng's original article was hailed as far-sighted and epoch-making strategic forward-looking.

"Brother, don't you know? People in the capital are now talking about you, saying that you were studying the King of Zhuang before. If you didn't make a name for three years, you will make a big splash!"

Sitting at the bar at the night bar, Huang Zixuan, who had just returned to the capital, said with a smile beside Li Yifeng.

Li Yifeng shook his head helplessly: "Don't listen to people outside talking nonsense."

He knew very well that things had come to this point and were far from over.

This can be seen from the various documents published to the public every day. Li Yifeng heard from his mother that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television alone received several different versions of documents. Today is the "Five-Year Plan Revision Outline" issued by the General Office of the State Council, which is to treat reform and opening up carefully. Tomorrow, the "Step Better, Be bolder - How to deal with propaganda work in the tide of reform and opening up" issued by the Central Propaganda Department. Everyone in the local area has at a loss and wonder what adjustments will be made to the central policy. Local factional struggles have become insignificant in this ideological collision, and this ideological collision is actually a reflection of the highest-level factional struggle.

After taking a sip of wine, Li Yifeng knew that a bigger storm would come.

"You guys drink it, I'll do something."

Li Yifeng patted Huang Zixuan on the shoulder, stood up and said to Huang Zixuan.

Huang Zixuan was stunned, but nodded and personally sent Li Yifeng to the door of Yese Bar.

This time when he came back from Lingnan, Li Yifeng had the remaining money in his hand and bought himself a sedan. It was not very high-end, but just a very ordinary Santanner. After all, with the conditions, if he still squeezes the bus every day, it would not be Li Yifeng's style.

"By the way, brother, Sister Qingyan will be back tomorrow. Do you want to pick her up at the airport?" Huang Zixuan suddenly said to Li Yifeng.

Li Yifeng thought for a while: "Forget it, I'm not suitable for showing up recently. If it weren't for your birthday today, I wouldn't plan to go out. Go and pick up Sister Qingyan, and tell her by the way, I'll treat her to dinner the day after tomorrow and discuss something."

Huang Zixuan nodded and agreed, watching Li Yifeng drive away from the bar.

When he drove home, Li Yifeng was stunned as soon as he entered the door. Uncle Li Zhenhua and father Li Zhenqing were sitting on the sofa and talking about something.

"Dad, uncle." Although he was a little confused, Li Yifeng still greeted the two elders respectfully.

Li Zhenqing now likes this son. An article made the Li family invincible. Now, no one dares to fire at the Li family, whether it is a conservative or a reformist. The reason is very simple. Li Yifeng had long foresaw the problems in the Soviet Union, which shows that the elders have good teaching in their daily lives. Who can say what?

Li Zhenhua was also mixed with emotion when he looked at Li Yifeng. The Soviet incident caused great damage to the Mu family's vitality. Mr. Mu had already confirmed that he would retreat at the meeting next year and retreat completely. And just last week, the Mu family's power in the military was completely cleaned up. Although he lost the opportunity to become the Minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, he also used his nephew's article to keep his current position. It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for Li Yifeng's article, the Mu family would lose trust in him and start suppressing him, I am afraid that this time, he would be doomed. After all, he was very close to Mr. Mu's proposal before.

Now the conservative forces have the upper hand in the top management. Li Zhenhua came to see his younger brother today to discuss with Li Zhenqing to see how to deal with this situation next.

"Xiaofeng, sit down, uncle has something to ask you."
