My Realistic Simulation Game

Chapter 250 The Ye Family Has Gone Mad; The Talent Plunder Begins

"What happened?"

Qin Yuan immediately became serious, realizing that Moscow was now a crucial place where a single move could have far-reaching consequences.

As the collapse of the Soviet Union drew ever closer, even the slightest disturbance within the Kremlin could dramatically alter the external situation.

Elena took a deep breath, suppressing the panic in her eyes, and whispered, "Just now, Director Catherine sent me a message. Yesterday afternoon, the Ye family replaced all the guards at the Kremlin with their own people, and the Gorbachev family has been completely sidelined."

"Under Yeh’s pressure, at noon today, he announced his resignation from his factional position in the Soviet Union, and... he also drafted a formal telegram suggesting that the entire social workers’ faction dissolve itself."

"What did you say?"

Before Qin Yuan could speak, Ivan, standing to the side, was already visibly shocked and exclaimed, "I suggest the social worker faction disband itself?"

"What right does Gorbachev have to do this? Just because he's the party leader, does he think he can dissolve the organization that single-handedly built the Soviet Union?!"

He was also a member of the organization, one of tens of millions of members in the Soviet Union.

He had deep feelings for the Soviet Union, and even more so for the faction he belonged to. How could he not be shocked to hear such news?

If the factions have all dissolved, how far away can the dissolution of this national alliance be?
Ivan felt a surge of fear.

"Because those who dare to oppose and resist are either dead or in prison right now."

Qin Yuan's voice was calm to the point of being cruel, revealing the bloody reality: "The Ye family has now seized the moral high ground. The coup in August has essentially destroyed the foundation of the social workers' faction's rule."

“Any order issued by Gorbachev, the party leader, might not even leave the Kremlin. Even his words would have to go through Ye’s people to get out.”

“Those military leaders who switched sides, those republics who changed their flags, have now essentially sided with the Ye family.”

"The demise of this faction has now become the 'greatest common denominator' that aligns with the interests of the vast majority of people."

His words made not only Ivan, a native Soviet, but also Chen Jianhua, who was standing next to him, turn pale. They deeply felt the unpredictable and ruthless nature of political struggle.

"Elena, what other news has come from Ekaterina's side?"

Qin Yuan looked at Elena again and asked with certainty, "The Ye family has already achieved final victory in the struggle against the Ge family. His actions should not be limited to eliminating the existence of just one faction, right?"

“Yes,” Elena nodded immediately, her tone becoming even more somber, “The Ye family has already made a series of emergency personnel changes, and the first one to be dealt with is our Security Committee.”

"The director of the First General Bureau has been arrested. As for the other general bureaus and branches, except for Comrade Latvís, the director of the Second General Bureau, who is still in office temporarily for some reason, all the other key personnel have been replaced!"

"Director Ekaterina herself has been dismissed... She said that Director Latvís will likely suffer the same fate as her; it's only a matter of time."

It's more than just dismissal and a power reshuffle.

Qin Yuan knew that after the Ye family took power, due to their deep distrust and fear of this huge secret organization, the name of the Security Committee might become history.

The collapse of this organization directly resulted in a wave of unemployment for countless elite agents who had undergone the most rigorous training and possessed special skills.

These people will become one of the destabilizing factors in the various republics of the Soviet Union in the future.

But this is good news for Qin Yuan.

As the Far Eastern Group continues to expand, Far Eastern International Bank has attracted the attention of international giants.

Both he and the group's senior executives need a well-trained and highly capable security force.

While special forces are certainly a good source of talent, the latter are undoubtedly a better choice than KGB elites who are skilled in infiltration, intelligence, and counter-reconnaissance.

At the same time, it would be extremely necessary to recruit these people and build an intelligence network covering the entire Soviet Union for him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Elena.

She and Ekaterina, who had already lost her job, were among the best.

However, although Ekaterina was "unemployed," she still had a power club behind her, which made things quite different.

But all of these things convey the same message.

This game world is increasingly aligning with the course of history he knows.

All of this foreshadows an even greater upheaval to come.

"Elena, you said the announcement of the dissolution of the faction by the Gorbachevs was only issued at noon today, which is less than two hours ago. Is there any movement in Moscow now?" Qin Yuan immediately asked.

He keenly realized that a huge number of officials in Moscow were members of factions, and if this big tree fell, how would the monkeys deal with themselves?

Chaos often breeds from within.

"Yellen signed a decree declaring the social workers' faction an illegal faction, and nearly five hundred people in various ministries have been dismissed from their posts." Elena had clearly conducted a thorough investigation, but her face grew increasingly pale as she reported. "And this was all done within the last two hours. This order has already been distributed to major cities, and it's estimated that by tomorrow, the entire Soviet Union will be in uproar."

Her voice trembled as she said those words.

Because it's very simple: the social workers' faction existed in the Soviet Union for over seventy years, with more than ten million members, deeply embedded in every capillary of the state's governance.

Such a brutal purge is tantamount to tearing apart the bureaucratic system that keeps this vast country running in an instant.

What will be the result?
Without a doubt, it was a nationwide panic, an exodus of people, and a disruption of social order.

Such a prediction was beyond the comprehension of Elena and Qin Yuan.

Even Chen Jianhua and Ivan could clearly sense it.

"They've gone mad! Has the Ye family gone mad?!" Ivan clutched his head, unable to comprehend it, his face contorted in anguish. "Don't they know what the consequences of their actions will be? How did this country come to this? Why, why did it happen?"

"Because of power." Qin Yuan's voice remained frighteningly calm, as if stating a physical law.

"In order to eliminate dissidents and consolidate his newly acquired supreme power, Ye had to carry out an indiscriminate and unlimited large-scale purge."

"That's politics, and politics is just that cruel."

However, amidst this impending, unprecedented chaos, Qin Yuan saw a tremendous advantage.

It's easier to fish in troubled waters; the more chaotic the situation, the more profit he can extract.

According to his speculation, Ye was so eager that he didn't even have time to carefully consider the matter before taking action.

The next target will inevitably be that enormous factional asset!

But, it's too late.

Qin Yuan sneered inwardly.

The key figures who once controlled this asset are now either dead or imprisoned.

The relevant accounts and channels had already been altered beyond recognition and largely transferred by Latvians, Sobček, and others through Ekaterina and Qin Yuan.

The Ye family is only now realizing they need to take over this inheritance; they'll probably only end up with an empty shell!
His Far East Group and Far East International Bank are helping Latvians and other "old nobles" to frantically liquidate and transfer these assets.

Once fully digested, his wealth and achievements in this game world will reach an unimaginable height.

Time waits not for us!

Thinking of this, Qin Yuan immediately ordered Wu Weiguo: "Weiguo, prepare the car, we're going back to headquarters immediately!"

He must stay in the central command and expedite the process.

Apart from Ivan, who remained at the Ochakov beverage factory, Chen Jianhua and Elena both chose to go back with Qin Yuan.

Because the Ochakov beverage factory is located in the eastern suburbs of Moscow, while the Far East Group headquarters building is located on the banks of the Moscow River in western Moscow.

Therefore, you have to cross the entire city center to get there.

Two black Volga cars drove across the still solemn and dignified Red Square and turned onto Nikolayevsky Prospekt.

Just then, Qin Yuan's gaze was suddenly drawn to several newly opened stores on both sides of the street.

He waved his hand, signaling the driver to stop the car.

Qin Yuan pointed to the shops outside the window that had signs for "International Travel Agency" or "Consulting Service Center" and asked Elena, "Elena, do you know when these 'travel agencies' were opened?"

"A travel agency?" Elena followed his gaze, a hint of doubt flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She couldn't understand why Qin Yuan would suddenly become interested in these inconspicuous little shops at such a turbulent time.

What she didn't know was that in Qin Yuan's memories from his previous life, a large number of such "travel agencies" had sprung up on the streets on the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union.

They ostensibly process overseas travel, but in reality, it's a front supported by certain Western institutions and intelligence organizations.

It was specifically for processing "escape" permits for scientists, researchers, engineers, experts, and scholars from various key departments of the Soviet Union.

Previously, Western countries had engaged in financial and asset plunder against the Soviet Union.

Now, the final step, and the most decisive one.

The "talent poaching" has already begun quietly.
