Soviet Godfather - v5 Chapter 254
The independence of Lithuania set a very bad precedent among the republics of the Soviet Union, followed by the Supreme Soviet of Estonia and Latvia also announced the start of the independence process. Therefore, for Gorbachev and the Soviet central government, the 28th National Congress of the CPSU is the last opportunity for the Soviet Union to unite the country.
Although Lithuania has declared independence, the Lithuanian Communist Party has split, and from the perspective of the Soviet constitutional procedures, unilateral declaration of independence is invalid and must be officially recognized by the Supreme Soviet. Therefore, Lithuania still sent representatives to participate in the 28th National Congress of the CPSU.
Sergei’s electoral district is not in Leningrad. He obtained the status of the people’s representative through elections in the foreign economic and trade system. Therefore, the election of the people’s representative in the Leningrad region happened to leave a large number of vacancies for the Sergey faction. Chuck, Yeltsin, Nastia, Gorman, and Pugachev were elected as the people’s representatives of the Leningrad region and entered the Leningrad Soviet Conference.
The original intention of this election was to allow the various political factions in the Soviet Union to temporarily unite and put contradictions on the table of the Supreme Soviet Conference for public discussion. Therefore, many democratic establishment factions that have never held public office have appeared on the list of people’s representatives. With this list alone, Sergei can imagine what the 28th Congress will look like.
Although Sergey Sha’s voice was very high at the 28th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and it is very likely that he will go further in his career, but his age is always the flaw of Sergey. Therefore, Yeltsin under Sergeisha became the key support target. Whether in terms of age or resume, Yeltsin is a trump card in Sergeisha’s hand. Now Sergey and Yeltsin have a good tacit understanding of cooperation. Sergey can easily raise funds for various large-scale infrastructure constructions, and Yeltsin has rich experience in the management of these projects. Can help Sergei Sha to deal with some trivial things in the process of the project. And Yeltsin now cherishes feathers very much, and Sergei will not worry that he will fill his pockets. However, Sergey Shah will not really not give the Yeltsin family a little benefit. With his help, Yeltsin’s daughter Tatyana now runs a board construction factory and is responsible for Shaping the huge natural gas pipeline for Selechin. The project provides part of the residential board building. Because Sergei’s natural gas pipeline will run through the entire territory of the Russian Republic, the project is too large, and it has an immediate effect on the pulling effect of the domestic industry in the Soviet Union. Just like this, I don’t know how many factories there are. This little business of the Yeltsin family is not at all unremarkable.
The total investment of the entire natural gas pipeline project is nearly 200 billion U.S. dollars. After completion, Gorky Financial Group will obtain the exclusive right to operate for 50 years. This is a bot project built with international funds. The so-called bot is buldoperatetransfer, which is the English abbreviation for construction and operation transfer. Sergei provided funds for the entire project through financial institutions under the Gorky Group, and then earned back costs and profits through operations, and finally transferred it to the Soviet government. The Soviet government does not need to spend a penny during the whole process, but it will get a natural gas pipeline that spans the east and west of the Republic of Russia in 50 years. The Tyumen oil and gas fields and the Siberian oil and gas fields will be connected by this pipeline. In addition, this pipeline will extend northward in Leningrad, connecting the natural gas pipelines of Sweden, Finland, and Norway, and connecting Central Asia and the existing natural gas pipelines in the Caucasus to the south. Finally, it is connected to the already completed pan-European natural gas pipeline project.
The entire project is so huge that many European media even call this pipeline the eighth wonder of mankind. In fact, the construction of this project has started very early. As early as when Sergei went to Europe for financing, the project began its preliminary exploration work. Later, because of the Georgia incident, the lack of confidence in European investors caused a large wave of divestments. , The whole project was once in trouble. In a critical moment, the Bank of Colombia took the initiative to revitalize the entire project. Later, Occidental Petroleum Corporation, Glencore, Enron Energy, British Gas Corporation, etc. have all participated. A brand-new company, the Eurasian Gas Group, was specially established afterwards.
In the future, Eurasian Gas Group will be responsible for the early construction and later operations. Among the shareholders of the entire Eurasian Gas Group, Sergei’s Gorky Group directly or indirectly controls 60% of the shares, and the remaining 40% is mainly controlled by European investors. As for those investors who withdrew halfway, I am afraid that even their intestines are regrettable now~www.mtlnovel.com~Because this is a bot project, completing the construction of the entire project one day earlier can generate profits one day earlier. Sergei Sha gave a deadly order on this, demanding that the main natural gas pipeline connecting east to west be built before the end of the year. It was under such harsh conditions that the entire natural gas pipeline project absorbed a large amount of labor at once, and even the engineering units of the Soviet Red Army were put into this project.
In Yeltsin’s hometown, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Ural Heavy Machinery Plant, the pride of Soviet heavy industry, ran full horsepower to produce special steam turbines for the Eurasian natural gas pipeline project. In Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, Sufficient orders for the Eurasian natural gas pipeline project have revived many iron and steel companies that have been in trouble.
Controlling natural gas has always been Sergey Sha’s wish for many years, because oil resources have long been controlled by the Seven Sisters of Oil. No matter how much Sergey Sha’s flutter, he can’t make a lot of waves. Natural gas is different. In the future, electricity for the whole of Europe. The basic energy source for industries such as metallurgy is natural gas. Controlling natural gas is equivalent to choking the entire European industry. The stable profits brought by natural gas are even more unmatched by oil.
The Eurasian Gas Group has given the entire Soviet Union’s precarious economy a glimmer of light. Not only the entire Europe, but even Japan and South Korea in the Far East are looking forward to the project’s early commissioning. Japan’s desire for natural gas is now almost crazy. It is precisely because of this bait that Sergei obtained from Japan the natural gas pipeline production technology that the Soviet Union could not master for many years, and the key technology for the production of large gas turbines. Sergei has now spread these technologies to the metallurgical industries in Ukraine, Russia and Poland. This has reduced the total cost of the entire natural gas pipeline project by a large margin. …
