v2 Chapter 226: Disintegration of the Soviet Union

The transformation of McGraw Hill's novel website has failed to counterattack the status of ireader's novel website!

The ireader novel website is getting better and better, while the McGraw Hill novel website is suffering a serious loss. Offline physical books have been severely affected due to online piracy, resulting in a decline in sales, which has caused dissatisfaction among many writers!

Henry's physical book "Resident Evil" is selling so well, in addition to the excellent novel itself, it is also related to Henry's personal charm! Countless gimmicks can attract people's curiosity, and Henry is so young, he is simply an American idol and a representative of the American dream! ! !

Obviously, not everyone can learn from him. Publishing books online and offline physical books can also be sold!

Regarding the McGraw Hill novel website, Henry didn’t actually pay attention to it. The writers are also humans and profit-seeking animals. Naturally, they know which website has high traffic and which website is more profitable. They will not be stupid. It's not easy to go to a website that is not popular to publish a new book!

The ireader novel website has established its leading position in the industry, and it is difficult to be shaken by other novel websites. What's more, the company is still standing behind it.

It is now approaching the end of 1991. There are two things that are worthy of Henry's attention. One is the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the other is the next US presidential election!

The U.S. presidential campaign will begin in January 1992 and last for six months. This stage is a pre-election. The major parties compete for the presidential candidate. Clinton was elected as the chairman of the Democratic Supreme Committee as early as 1990. Therefore, he It should be possible to become the presidential candidate of the democratic parties without any dispute! ! !

In the Soviet Union, Henry had asked the Blackwater Company to send three thousand members to the Soviet Union to implement the "talent war" plan.

this time. Henry wanted to carve up the talents of the Soviet Union with European countries and even the United States. But Henry can predict the approximate time of the disintegration of the Soviet Union and a series of Russian policies afterwards, so he has made more adequate preparations, and he will not even react in various countries. Be the first to start and take away the talents!

And before that. Henry even collected information on top talents from all walks of life.

Once the Soviet Union is concerned, act immediately!

The resources used this time are very large. At the end of November, Henry rented 20 large ships that can accommodate thousands of people and distributed them at various terminals along the Russian coastal border. He also rented ten Boeing 747 aircraft for use. Escort the top high-tech talents!

This action of snatching talents must be made into a blockbuster movie!

...

Three months ago, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Moldavia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Estonia, Armenia, and Tajikistan announced their separation from the Soviet Union! Earlier. In the spring of 1990 and 1991, Lithuania, Latvia, and Georgia declared their separation from the Soviet Union!

Seeing time passing day by day, a tense atmosphere filled the entire Soviet Union. On December 8, 1991, after the heads of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine signed the agreement, the Soviet Union existed in name only!

On December 25-26, 1991, the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union confirmed the disintegration of the alliance, which meant that the Soviet Union was officially disintegrated!

"Hello, Mr. Williams, the plan has already begun!"

"Okay, pay attention to safety!!!" Henry responded indifferently. Then hung up the phone. Then he got up from his seat, a gleam of light in his eyes. I couldn't help muttering, "Hehe, the talents of the Soviet Union will be used by me!!!"

The members of Blackwater were already active in various countries and were actively taking action. At this moment, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the governments of various countries were in a state of chaos and faced a serious economic crisis. Especially in Russia, it is even more chaotic!

Yeltsin appointed Gaidar, a young liberal reformer, as the head of government to carry out radical "shock" economic reforms! "Shock" therapy is objectively speaking. The effect is very obvious, and the socialist public ownership can be ended in a very short time. Denationalization and privatization achieved!

One of the biggest characteristics of shock therapy is that "long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain", and the pain is almost after shock. Can only be reborn!

Its contents roughly include: implementing austerity financial and fiscal policies, reducing government expenditures, eliminating subsidies, liberalizing prices, implementing trade liberalization, achieving exchange rate stability through currency devaluation, further reforming the administrative and taxation system, and reducing part of the public sector and enterprises to private operations. Change, reschedule debts and accept foreign aid, etc.!

However, after this policy is implemented, ordinary people in Russia are almost desperate. The ruble has already depreciated wildly, and now the government has let it depreciate. The money in everyone's hands is almost turned into waste paper. How can I live?

The economy of the entire country was once paralyzed.

The factory closed down and the state-owned enterprise was sold at a low price!

Banks went bankrupt and laid-off workers crowded the streets in droves!

Even scientific research institutions have closed down due to lack of funds, and high-tech talents have been laid off! ! !

The Giant Bear International Headhunting Company, which Henry established in Russia, became busy and received many consultation calls!

Then, Heishui cooperated with the giant bear international headhunting company to transfer talents one after another!

As long as they are talents, they will all be taken away and sent to the United States. In order to buy people's hearts, Henry took them away with his family, and promised to arrange jobs for them in the United States!

With so many talents in Russia leaving, it is impossible not to disturb the authorities and the government, which was subsequently hindered.

However, the Blackwater Company is not a vegetarian. The smuggling route has been opened up in Russia as early as, and there are blackwater members escorted along the way. If Russia dares to intercept them, they will run if they can't beat them, and they will fight if they can!

Russia is in the midst of a storm, and the whole country is in a mess. Even the police can’t get a salary and can’t get enough food. As for the army, hehe, busy selling arms, the Blackwater Company often buys from it, and it has a good relationship with the military! So, how can the Russian government take care of so much? The talents were escorted out of Russia by Blackwater members one after another.

Henry was particularly fond of Russian arms experts and aerospace technical talents. Therefore, the main purpose of the Soviet Union's looting of talents this time was to rob these people.

Under the temptation of strong money, many talents have promised to work for Henry!

Among them, more than 400 people were taken away from the "Korolev Energy Rocket and Space Group"! Korolev is praised as the "father of launch vehicles", invented artificial satellites, and was the chief engineer and designer of the Soviet rocket program. Although he is dead, the group is in the field of rockets, satellites, and spacecraft. The technology is superb!

In addition, the Blackwater Company has also hired more than 50 technical personnel for the research and development of rocket engines from the "Power Machinery Research and Production Consortium", the most first-class rocket engine company in the Soviet Union, and 40 from the "Keldish Research Center". A number of rocket thruster research and development talents have dug more than 20 energy supply system research and development talents from the "Quantum Science Institute" ~ lightnovelpub.net~ Of course, the number of aerospace technology talents dug is far more than that. There are more than two hundred people in other companies.

Together, these talents can develop rockets, satellites, and spacecraft!

At the same time, Heishui also bought a lot of technical information at a low price!

However, Henry's pace has not been so fast. He wants to make achievements in the rocket field first, then develop satellites, and finally build spacecraft!

Henry was the first to dig people, so the people who dig were naturally among the elite. When other countries were preparing to dig people, they could not help but froze. They found that the object they wanted to dig had actually been digging away. In the end, there is no other way but to take the second place, and the level of digging is slightly worse!

The U.S. government also discovered this situation, but after investigating, it suddenly discovered that all the high-tech aerospace technical talents who had been poached had actually arrived in the U.S....

NASA Nasa is very concerned about this matter!
