Soviet Godfather - v5 Chapter 248
When Walesa was elected as Poland’s first elected prime minister in the middle of last year. He is full of confidence in Poland under the leadership of Solidarity. He believes that he can lead Poland to get rid of years of bad governance and build a democratic and free Poland.
But when Walesa took a tough attitude towards the Soviet Union and expelled members of the Gorky Brotherhood from within the Solidarity trade union, everything began to develop in an uncontrollable direction. Although the Americans provided one billion U.S. dollars in financial support to the new Polish government, Walesa turned his back on the promise he had made to Selesha in a perfidious manner. He not only restricted the large-scale commercial acquisitions of the Gorky Brotherhood in Poland, but also completely offended the Soviet government. The Soviet government not only cancelled a series of preferential policies granted to Poland, but also cut off trade with Poland. The Gorky Brotherhood even directly pulled out of the Polish market.
When this happened, Walesa was very disapproving, because he believed that the Americans would not let Poland fend for themselves. American companies would enter the Polish market like a tide, bringing a lot of jobs for Poles. , And Poland’s economy will take off from there like a rocket. But the facts slapped Walesa in the face severely. American companies have not flocked to Poland like a tide, not even a single one. On the contrary, Leningrad, facing across the sea, gathered a group of powerful European and American companies to settle here.
Although the economy has not improved, prices have taken off like a rocket. Due to the withdrawal of the Gorky Brotherhood, Glencore and the Soviet Mediterranean Trading Company ceased their business activities in Poland. The goods on the market began to become more and more in demand. After Walesa was in power for half a year, prices were even twice as high as before he was elected. What makes the Polish people even more dissatisfied is that because the Soviet Union interrupted the natural gas and energy trade with the Polish government, the residents of most parts of Poland had an unforgettable and cold winter. Most of Poland had no place in the whole winter. Heating supply. Even the capital, Warsaw, is the same.
The successive ruling mistakes made many Poles disappointed in Walesa’s ability to govern the country, but the prime minister was elected by himself. Unless there is any corruption in Walesa, he will have to wait until the end of his term with tears. Anyway, freedom of speech is now released, and Walesa still relies on the position of prime minister and refuses to resign. So in the Polish folk, people began to tease Walesa like the first secretary of the Polish United Workers’ Party Jaruzelski did in the past.
If you catch a Polish guy in the street this year, ask him what songs he has been popular recently. Most of them will be happy to sing two new songs for you, and soon a group of people will gather on the street to sing together. One of these two songs is called “Wałęsa, where did my 100 million yuan go?” “, another song is called “You Never Trust an Electrician”. From the title of the song, it can be seen that these two songs are satirizing Walesa’s poor governance skills.
These two songs quickly became popular throughout Poland, and even the radio’s song-on-demand program sometimes played them in response to the strong request of the listeners. The people did their best to use their ingenuity to disgust Walesa. Even when Walesa held a press conference, some reporters asked whether they knew of these two songs. Walesa’s expression was awkward to death.
Political reform cannot fundamentally eliminate the difficulties faced by the economy. Because economic problems must be solved by economic means. Leningrad, facing Gdansk, Poland across the sea, is an excellent proof. Since the start of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone project a year ago, hundreds of thousands of soldiers who withdrew from Afghanistan lay down their weapons and became construction workers in the Leningrad Special Economic Zone. The Leningrad Special Economic Zone has a new look. Especially after the natural gas terminal and petrochemical project in the Leningrad Special Economic Zone were put into operation, more and more merchant ships were on the Baltic Sea route.
It is not that there are no people who understand the Poles. After being completely disappointed in Walesa, they set their sights on the model of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone. Speaking of it, Solidarity is not exactly a working-class political party. It is actually more like a loose political alliance. Solidarity actually has many people from the intellectual and religious circles. They quickly realized how much Walesa was capable. So within the Solidarity trade union, some opposition figures gradually appeared.
These people clearly recognized how unreliable the American promises were. At the same time, they also realized that Poland could not completely separate from the Soviet Union and the Gorky Brotherhood. When the approval ratings of Walesa inside and outside the party began to hit new lows repeatedly, these opposition groups finally couldn’t help but stepped forward and raised their opposition to Walesa’s poor policy.
Faced with high domestic prices and tight supply, as well as industries that have been shut down due to lack of energy. The Polish leadership had to reconsider its relationship with the Soviet Union and its attitude towards the issue of the Gorky Brotherhood.
So, under the repeated invitations of the Solidarity trade union and Walesa, Yuri, who had left the United States in anger, was invited back to Poland to participate in the reception and commemorative activities of the Polish government. The Soviet Union also received goodwill from Poland through various channels. Actions.
Seeing that Poland’s attitude has softened, Seleosa stopped continuing his blockade policy~www.mtlnovel.com~ He sent his confidant Nasga to Warsaw to contact the Polish government. And Yuri also came from Walesa’s kindness. After repeated weighings, Sergei finally changed his attitude towards Poland in order to prevent the Polish market from falling into the hands of others.
The Polish request was quickly transferred to Selesha. Perhaps the development of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone is too fast. They want to cooperate with the Leningrad Special Economic Zone and use the Leningrad Special Economic Zone to revitalize the Polish economy.
After all, Poland is a big country in Eastern Europe, and there are still some good things, such as the Polish FSO Automobile Company, which is famous for producing Polonaise, and the rich copper and zinc resources in Poland, and even Seleosa Urgently needed industrial raw materials. So when Walesa changed his attitude, Sergei did not share his general knowledge.
So under the sole management of Nasca, Gorky Volkswagen quickly came forward to discuss with the Polish government the cooperation intention to acquire FSO Automotive. Sergei intends to keep the Polonez brand as a sub-brand of Volkswagen. In addition, Glencore and Mediterranean Trading Company have also resumed business relations with Poland. Glencore will acquire several large copper and zinc mines, and Mediterranean Trading Company will resume exporting natural gas and oil to Poland.
The poor Polish government did not look forward to the salvation of the Americans, but first looked forward to the partition of the Gorky consortium.
