USSR 1991

Everyone's voices were sonorous and powerful, and the Red Square became quiet at this moment, only the sound of hunting and dancing when the wind blew past the red flag.

These designations, which may have been canceled during the integration of the army, are indelible memories in the hearts of this group of people. They symbolize the struggle and belief in the past.After everyone reported their respective identities, in the end everyone took up their positions together, looked at the fluttering red flag, and said in a unified and firm voice, "All the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War here present, to the great motherland! , the great Soviet, salute!"

Chapter 159

The next part was that all representatives laid flowers on the tombstone of the unknown soldier, and Yanayev, together with representatives from the six countries, went to the Martyrs' Garden in Alexander Garden.Yanayev placed the flowers on the marble in front of the tombstone, and everyone turned to a cluster of delicate flowers on the line of the tombstone.

"The military parade this time is very exciting, President Yanayev. I hope the Soviet Union can maintain this upward momentum. After all, since 1985, our great socialist movement has been suffering from major blows from within." Czech Republic The leader of Slovakia, Straski, came over to say hello to Yanayev.

"Fortunately, President Jan Strasky, what is the situation in Czechoslovakia now? You also know that Gorbachev made an unforgivable mistake, which caused us to lose one ally after another."

"The situation is not optimistic, President Yanayev." President Strasky sighed sadly, "Since the democratization of politics and open reforms, the Communist Party in Eastern Europe has been forced to give up its ruling status. Even the Czech Republic The Communist Party of Slovakia is now surviving in a precarious situation. Now Czechoslovakia has entered a transitional period of democratization."

Yanayev is also a little worried. If the ruling Communist Party of Czechoslovakia also loses its status, the Soviet Union will become the last socialist country on the European continent.He asked in a low voice, "If Czechoslovakia re-enforces its rule now, is it too late?"

"Pandora's box has been opened." Strasky smiled wryly and shook his head. "How could members of the democrats who have tasted the taste of power give up this great opportunity, and democratization reform is the general trend now. If we go against the trend Because, I am afraid that the Communist Party will no longer even exist as a ruling party.”

"Do you still remember how the democrats got their start?" Yanayev briefly mentioned the leader who was about to lose his ruling status next year.

"Huh?" Strasky turned his head and looked at Yanayev in confusion, but the other party just smiled slyly, with a trace of unfathomable conspiracy.

"Didn't the slogans of the so-called democrats back then be for freedom, against bureaucracy and corruption? Then they began to march on the streets to demonstrate against the military and police, but the police's fear of doing anything led to the intensification of the democratization movement. Finally, in the Under the laissez-faire of Moscow and the fierce offensive of the democrats, the increasingly isolated Communist Party finally succumbed to the despotic power of a group of populists."

"I don't quite understand what you're talking about, President Yanayev." Strasky hoped that Yanayev could say what he wanted to say directly.

"Since the democrats can come to power through street politics, why can't communism continue to govern in a different way through violent revolution? As long as you can play tricks on the corruption of the democrats, there will naturally be people who don't know the truth. Yanayev felt a little emotional. He had only been in politics for so many years, but he had completely forgotten the glorious tradition of launching a mass uprising.

Wasn’t it the same in Ukraine back then? Street politics used social issues to bring down democratically-elected President Viktor Yanukovych, and then the so-called natural gas oligarch Tymoshenko came to power, which became the source of long-term turmoil in Ukraine.

"Change another skin and continue to be in power?" Strasky was a little puzzled, and the leader of the Eastern European Communist Party, who was dogmatic, couldn't understand what Yanayev said, "Is it still a socialist country if you change a skin?" ?”

Yanayev shook his head helplessly. He pointed to the Chinese representative not far away who was wearing glasses and was talking to Minister of Defense Yazov in fluent Russian. "The essence of socialism is to liberate and develop productive forces. , eliminate exploitation and eliminate polarization. Just like the big socialist country in Asia that is thriving, can you say that it is not a socialist country because it allows the development of a multi-ownership economy?"

This time it was Strasky's turn to shake his head.

"That's right. A country with strong administrative control measures and free economic development will be the best model for the future socialist model. I have already pointed out the road ahead, and what to do next is up to you. .”

Yanayev is just a guide. At the beginning, the West used this trick to split the socialist camp, and now Yanayev uses this trick in turn to sanction Eastern European countries.However, it must be a long and arduous process to infiltrate in a situation where socialism has lost its vitality.

As long as the Soviet Union has not disintegrated, Yanayev can afford to wait.However, those oligarchs who have just sat on the throne of power and started to dig out the country's wealth in a hurry, don't know how long it will take to consume energy.When the gap between rich and poor reaches a disparity upper limit, the flowers of violent revolution will bloom in Eastern Europe.

Just as Yanayev was saying hello to the leaders of other countries, the serious-looking Minister of Internal Affairs stepped forward. He went straight to Yanayev and whispered in his ear, "Yanayev General Secretary, I have something to report to you. 38 Chechen terrorists sneaked into the city of Beslan in North Ossetia. They stormed into a middle school and took hundreds of students hostage."

Yanayev's smiling expression froze on his face, and he asked in disbelief, "You mean that Chechen terrorists entered Beslan and took a group of unarmed students hostage?"

"Yes." Pugo also thought for a long time before telling Yanayev the unfortunate news before the celebration was over.

"This is simply a replica of the Beslan incident in 2004!" What surprised Yanayev the most was the butterfly effect that occurred after the early end of the Chechen war. The incident that originally occurred in 2004 in history was actually brought forward by 12 years. , which caught him off guard.And it was specially chosen to celebrate the victory of the Anti-Fascist War on this day.

"Comrade Yazov, please explain to the foreign guests for me." Yanayev just greeted the Minister of Defense in a hurry, and then hurried back to the White House. While walking, he issued orders to Pugo in an orderly manner. "I also informed Comrade Kryuchkov that he ordered the reorganized Alpha team in his hands to rush to Beslan immediately, and asked him to inform the KGB intelligence agency that we need the support of the signal flag special forces. All anti-terrorist armed forces that can be used Use all your strength, hurry up."

This was the first time Pugo saw Yanayev with such an angry expression. If he observed carefully, he would find that the nails had been deeply sunk into the flesh of the palm of his hand.If this incident is not properly resolved, it will be another painful blow to the image of the Soviet government.

"Also, immediately prepare a special plane and notify Comrade Putin to let him go to Beslan with me. I will be there in person for this incident." The original Beslan crisis was caused by mistakes in on-site work. A small number of terrorists absconded among the crowd.This time Yanayev will monitor the whole process to avoid such a terrible tragedy from happening again.

The joy just now completely disappeared at this moment. Yanayev glanced at the red flag flying in the Kremlin, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.Before, he thought that enough people died, and the Chechen terrorists would stop. Now it seems that Yanayev is too kind to this group of people.

Draining the last drop of blood from this group of people and letting the Wahhabi faction completely disappear in the Transcaucasus region is the real solution.

Pugo hadn't taken a few steps before he was stopped by Yanayev behind him, but the moment he turned his head, what he saw was not the glamorous and majestic Soviet leader, but a red devil with fierce eyes .

Yanayev tried to use the calmest tone to give Pugo an order, "Also, no matter what the final situation is, after this matter is resolved, all the Chechens involved in this matter, as well as the funders behind Chechnya , I don't want to see these people alive. See their dead bodies."

"I don't care where these people are hiding, even if they are hiding in Buckingham Palace or in the Pentagon, KGB agents will find them one by one, kill as many as they have, their friends, family members, their children, everyone Don't let it go. Kill until no terrorist dares to attack the Soviet Union, or until those Islamic believers are extinct. We must let these religious elements know what will happen if they anger the Soviet Union."

"I said so, do you understand?"

Chapter 1 The Beslan Incident (1)

The Beslan incident this time was planned by Khatab and Basayev, and executed by his loyal deputy, Colonel Madasyev. The 37 people he led were also diehards of Islam. The attack plan was carefully planned by them. The layout was specially chosen to celebrate the victory of the Anti-Fascist War on this day.

This incident spread throughout the Soviet Union through the media faster than the victory parade. Such a terrorist attack on young children occurred. Leaders of other countries participating in the military parade issued a statement of condemnation in the Kremlin.Accused the incident of "anti-humanity and anti-peace" atrocities.Regarding this incident, even the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Gary, called on the Chechen militants to remain calm and restrained, and not to harm innocent children.

Only the western world chose to remain silent as always. In fact, this group of ulterior motives knows where the explosives and weapons of these Chechen militants come from.The director of the CIA even nodded slightly when he saw the scene of the crying parents on TV, thinking that the previous assistance to the militants finally had the effect he wanted to see.

But precisely because this day is the anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Fascist War, the terrorists who attacked Beslan Middle School did not hold more than 1000 students hostage as in history, but only held more than 300 students.

This time the extremists did not choose to kill wildly. They came with a political purpose. The purpose of holding hostage was to release Dudayev who was detained in the Vorkuta political prison awaiting execution.

Kalashnikov's guns were aimed at those innocent children. The extremist militants in black masks paced back and forth, watching every move outside the window vigilantly. Infantry mines are waiting for the Soviet army to forcibly break into them.

The armored vehicles of the Ministry of the Interior have already surrounded the entire school, and soldiers with live ammunition have set up a cordon several hundred meters away to separate the crowd of onlookers from the anxious parents.This order came from Moscow, thousands of miles away, and Yanayev directly sent it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Caucasus. It must mobilize as many people as possible to maintain order on the scene.Some of the casualties caused by the Beslan incident that year were also related to the fact that the parents who came with guns did not obey orders and opened fire indiscriminately.

Moreover, because the information was too transparent at the beginning, the extremist organization personnel hidden in the crowd tipped off the internal accomplices, which also exposed the special forces attack in advance.

Moreover, the Caucasus has a strong folk style since ancient times, and many people in the Soviet army came from this place.Those parents might just pick out a retired Alpha, a pennant, a member of the Blue Hat Special Forces, or a Soviet veteran of the war in Afghanistan.In terms of combat effectiveness, this group of parents is no less than the group of thugs in the school, but the on-site commanders do not believe that unorganized and undisciplined people can defeat a group of well-armed thugs.

In addition, Yanayev also handed over the responsibility of the incident to the army, avoiding some officials who are not familiar with the situation to talk about it on paper. Under the circumstances, the explosives were detonated and caused heavy casualties in the gymnasium.

Some of the parents gathered around the cordon held Kalashnikov rifles, some held Makarov pistols, and some even held Mosin Nagant rifles equipped with PU scopes. Armed civilians surrounded the cordon. Shouting loudly that they also want to join the fight, for their own children.

Putin was the supreme commander present at the scene. When Yanayev was not present at the scene, he was responsible for coordinating the actions of the army and providing advice to the site commander based on his work experience in the KGB.Yanayev is not afraid to face the public, but his face is too eye-catching.No extremist can ever forget the face that terrified them.Because the order of the Soviet army to kill Chechen militants came from this middle-aged man who likes to be silent.

If there was a Black Widow or an outsider accomplice hidden in the crowd, Yanayev would be in danger.Therefore, it is the best choice for Putin to come forward. First, he is a shadowy man hiding in the Kremlin. Few people know that he is also one of the planners of hunting down militants.

"Parents, calm down. I can understand your feelings." Putin stood in front of all the parents who were armed with live ammunition, and tried his best to comfort this group of aggrieved people.If the matter cannot be properly resolved, the special forces will have to fight this group of tough retired soldiers before they attack the school.

But poor Comrade Vladimir was still a little weaker, and was soon surrounded by those parents as on-site commanders. Although there were a few soldiers around to maintain order, they couldn't stand the pushing and shoving of nearly 100 people .

"My daughter is only six years old, and she is still inside, let me go and take her!" the anxious parent shouted angrily.

"My child is too. I was going to pick him up for dinner today!" A parent with red eyes couldn't accept the bad news anyway.

"My son's birthday is today. If something happens to him, I will never let you go! It was you who stopped me from saving him!" The emotional parents pointed their guns at Putin's head, and the soldiers next to him saw this Yijing immediately rushed forward to stop the parent, but was stopped by Putin.

"I know you are suffering, but I am not as anxious as you are." Putin stepped forward and put his forehead against the gun, he said, "But is it useful for you to rush in to save the child? Know those How many trip wire mines and grenades the gangsters have ambushed in the corner? Do you know where they installed the explosives, waiting for you to go up and die? You don’t even know!”

"Without command and discipline, you going up to rescue is tantamount to dying. What will happen to those children in the event of a firefight? You are brave and fearless and can sacrifice, but what about the lives of those children? If you think that you will do better than the army in rescue, then You shoot me first and walk over my body. I will never sacrifice an innocent child because of you!"

"If you think this will make you more emotionally stable, just shoot." Putin closed his eyes after speaking.

Seeing Putin's crazy behavior, all the parents calmed down. It was the first time they saw such a tough and fearless commander. In fact, Putin's words just now made the emotional parents overwhelmed. A basin of cold water.It is true that rushing in to save the child when he is not familiar with the situation is tantamount to letting the child die.

Thinking of this, many people slowly put down their guns.And the parent who threatened him before also removed the muzzle from Putin's forehead, and he said to Putin apologetically, "I'm sorry, I offended you just now, comrade."

"It's okay, I understand your feelings." Putin patted the parent on the shoulder, and then said to the audience gathered at the scene, "We promise and guarantee to you that we will do our best to ensure the safety of the children. Now please put down Let the firearms in your hand be kept by the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, okay? I am worried that if any parent’s gun goes off, the gangsters will start killing regardless of everything, and it will really be irreparable at that time. "

"Okay." All the parents agreed.
