Chapter 528 Disintegration!

December 25, 1991, early morning.

Gorbachev signed his last presidential decree: resigning as Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces and handing over control of the armed forces and the "nuclear button" to Yelikin.

At 19:25 on December 25, 1991, Russia, Moscow, National Television, Central Studio.

Gorbachev, wearing a black suit and looking haggard, walked to the podium surrounded by Yelkin and other Big Three.

There is no reporter here, no outsiders, just cold photography equipment, and a depressing atmosphere so heavy that it makes you breathless.

The three giants looked at each other, and then Yelkin cast his eyes on Gorbachev. This big man who had led the alliance through the last period of ups and downs was like a helpless child at the moment, meeting the two for the first time. At that time, the high-spirited spirit he showed was completely different.

Yelkin felt extremely sad.

The death of the supreme leader of every generation is full of legend, whether sad or joyful. No matter what, Gorbachev will be remembered by history, and his name will be constantly mentioned in the history textbooks of various countries many years later.

Of course, his name was also mentioned together.

Because he will lead this once most powerful country to another peak, and glory will be created in his hands and passed down!

"Your Excellency, the time has come." Yelikin reminded lightly, "We will go out first."

As he spoke, he quietly exited the studio with the other two people, leaving the last time and space for Gorbachev.

After a while, the old Gorbachev coughed heavily, and then turned to the microphone and everyone in front of the TV.

To the whole world.

spoke.

"In view of the situation that developed after the establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent States, I ceased my activities as president. This decision was taken out of principled considerations."

"I firmly advocate the independence of the people of all ethnic groups and the sovereignty of the country; at the same time, I advocate the retention of alliance countries and the integrity of the country. However, the situation developed along another path, and the policy of dismembering and splitting the country prevailed. I cannot agree to this.”

"I am also troubled by the loss of our people's citizenship to a great country, which will have very heavy consequences for everyone."

Gorbachev looked serious, but he ended his speech with an optimistic prediction: "I believe that sooner or later, our joint efforts will bear fruit, and our people will live in a prosperous and democratic society."

"Everyone, with immediate effect, I will resign as president of the Federation."

A simple sentence that completes an era.

It also opened a new curtain for another era!

At 19:38, the national flag with the sickle and hammer pattern over the Kremlin was lowered, and the white, blue and red tricolor flag was raised on the flagpole.

In front of the color TV, some people screamed, some were silent, some were howling, some were laughing wildly, and some were quickly changing channels, seemingly not caring about these international events.

Gorbachev's declaration was specifically chosen during Christmas, the most important time for Westerners, and kept countless people awake at night.

Kitahara Sosuke, who was also waiting in front of the TV, hugged Chino Rin. They were the only ones in the empty living room. This time, even the Kitahara sisters who were his personal guards were pushed away by him.

He wanted to enjoy this joy alone with Qianye Rin.

Looking at the old man's appearance on the TV, Chino Rin, who didn't care much about current affairs, suddenly felt the body of Kitahara Sosuke, who was hugging him, trembling slightly.

She looked up at his profile.

This is the first time.

She clearly felt Kitahara Sosuke's violent mood swings.

In the past, no matter what kind of big events it was, it was difficult to shake him at all.

Even when he was forced into a desperate situation after making a bet with the Takeshita family, he responded with a smile and no excessive emotional ups and downs at all.

And this time.

Kitahara Sosuke was obviously moved.

In fact, only he himself understands the taste and feelings of this best.

On the one hand, the biggest stone in his heart was finally settled, and on the other hand, he really witnessed the end of a legend in this era.

In 1992, in his previous life, he would have been a little kid who didn't understand current affairs, politics, or the changes in the world.

But in this life, after traveling back in time, Kitahara Sosuke was not only deeply involved in it, but also gained huge benefits from it.

According to the game, this is a legendary achievement and honor, something that countless people can only dream of in their lifetime.

Because he will definitely be recorded in the annals of Japanese history, and may even appear in future textbooks.

It's quite exciting to think about it.

He hugged Qianye Rin tightly, and the two cuddled together without much communication.

On December 26, 1991, the coalition held its last meeting in Moscow and announced that the coalition would cease to exist, marking the official disintegration of the Soviet Union.

At the same time, Alimzhanov announced that the alliance that had been all-powerful for more than half a century would be disbanded. The representatives said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways.

At this time, in Chiyoda District, Tokyo, Japan, the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky.

"It's sunny after the rain." Yamada Xiao looked up at the blue and clear sky, an expression of excitement that could not be concealed filled his face, "It seems that the weather will be good recently, right, Sayuri-chan?"

Yamakawa Sayuri is holding a folder in her hand, wearing an OL uniform suit, a pair of slender legs wrapped in black stockings, she has a short haircut, she has just married Nohara Yuta, she is a young woman, she is so tender that she can squeeze water, every move she makes With a hint of charm and shyness.

Previously, Kitahara Sosuke promised to give her a big wedding gift when she got married. On the wedding day, she didn't expect that Kitahara Sosuke would directly give her a club!

Although the Kitahara club has been following Kitahara Sosuke since it became official, Yamakawa Sayuri does not like to rely on her relationship with Kobayashi Kyoko to go through the back door, nor does she want her husband to use this method to get a promotion and salary increase.

Therefore, among the first group of people who followed Kitahara Sosuke, she was the worst off.

This time, Kitahara Securities was established in London, England, with Kyoko Kobayashi as the president, and Sayuri Yamakawa as the president of Kitahara Securities' branch in Osaka. She also officially resigned from the position of Kitahara Sosuke's personal secretary.

At this time, she and Yamada Xiao were invited to attend an internal meeting of the Japan Financial Association, with the purpose of discussing the ownership of the pile of rubles in Japan.

This matter was originally caused by Kitahara Sosuke. Their Kitahara club was not affected in any way, and they were naturally relaxed and happy when they came to the meeting.

But she didn't really like the man next to her who kept smiling and flattering Kitahara Sosuke.

He's only in his thirties, but he looks so sophisticated.

"Yes." She said casually, Yamakawa Sayuri walked straight to the venue.

Looking at her leaving back, Yamada Xiao smiled coldly and said nothing.
