British civil servant

Furtseva agreed, and Alekseev dialed the phone, and hung up after the busy signal passed. If there is no accident, the call will be returned within half an hour. After a while, the satellite phone rang again, "What's the matter?" ? Alyosha."

"The first family on the map is going to the Black Sea for vacation. You once said that you must tell you that contact may be interrupted in the next few days, and you can just watch the news." Alexeyev also mentioned his wife and children by the way. When I arrived in Romania, "If nothing happens, I'll hang up."

"Wait." Alan Wilson calmed down and said while thinking, "Minister Pugo of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a Latvian. If he fails, from his point of view, there is only a dead end. Also very dangerous is Ahrome Marshal Yev, he is visiting overseas. If these people fail, they are likely to die. If you have spare energy, please help. If you don’t, just ignore it. To be honest, although I don’t know the details of this coup d’etat Who are the people, but how capable can the people promoted by the top of the map be?"

Alexeyev didn't make a sound, he hesitated and said, "Perhaps those who want to defend the motherland are much stronger than you imagined."

Alexeyev thought that Alan Wilson didn't know how powerful this lineup was, but Hao Daer didn't know that his father knew it, so he kept emphasizing that the main enemy was the liberals, the Russian president, not these seemingly Powerful Soviet leader.

Fultseva snatched the phone, paused suddenly, and then asked in broken English, "You, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't go around."

"Katyusha? From what you said, I can't really help. I just remind the children not to make low-level mistakes."

Alan Wilson heard Fultseva's voice and replied with a wry smile, "Don't care about public opinion, you can't kill someone if you scold him. If everything goes well, you won't need Alexeyev to appear on the stage. If it doesn't go well, you must use the knife." ruthless."

"You don't need to remind me, I have had two coups." Fultseva said in a deep voice, but the first time was to defend Khrushchev, and the second time was to overthrow Khrushchev.

Alan Wilson wanted to say that the matter was nothing more than three, but when he thought that his position was on the side of the mother and son of the cultural tsar, he changed it to cheering up. The supreme authority is easy to use in the UK, and this time it really can't help.

He wants to go to church tomorrow to talk to God, his old man, but he doesn't know how the diplomatic relationship between the Anglican Church and the Orthodox Church is?

Thousands of words finally turned into one sentence, "My dear, be careful, I am waiting for good news from the cultural tsar." Alan Wilson knew that this might be the last call, just as Alexeyev said, no He can only talk about the results through news and other news, and the love between children should be limited.

Now that she has chosen, she must do her best. After the call ended, Fultseva suddenly said, "I want to leave Moscow."

"Mother, aren't you?" Alekseev was taken aback. It seemed that his son was not strong enough to speak like a man with the same status as the czar and his husband. So he was leaving?

"Send me to the city of Kalinin." Fultseva replied, "Pugo, you can consider controlling him. As for Marshal Akhromeyev, he is conducting military exchanges in North America. It's easy to do." , Stop him at the airport, if we meet on the battlefield, I don't have the ability to command the army."

Furtseva felt that she was waiting for the news with her son dryly, but she was still not sure, and was going back to her hometown to back up Alexeyev.

Now the local forces in the Soviet Union have become their own kingdoms, but don’t think that there are no such things in Russia. Fortseva has been in the top leadership for decades. Where did it go.

The map head family still went on vacation as planned, including his wife Raisa and his daughter and son-in-law. The special plane landed in Foros on the shore of the Black Sea. This is the villa built after the map head came to power. It used to be a very desolate place. Not far from Cape Sarych, it is windy for a long time of the year, and Foros is only suitable for vacation in the two months of August and September.

There were no buildings near Foros before, but it was deserted and isolated.

Compared with Brezhnev, who is keen on the excitement, he regards the vacation as a group gathering. The relatively isolated environment here makes the couple have a soft spot. They feel free and can guarantee privacy.

Foros Villa, the entire construction site occupies several square kilometers. The most important thing is of course the "rest area". The main building is a very beautiful three-story building. Next to the top building is the visitor reception building, an open-air swimming pool and a stadium. There is also a small movie theater in the semi-basement of the main building.

The general administration area includes garages, boiler rooms, warehouses, guard rooms, communications offices, and other facilities that ensure the normal operation of the entire villa.

At the Belbek military airport, the special plane carrying the map head couple landed again. The family went to the unfinished Foros Villa for vacation. There was still a construction team working nearby, mainly for decoration and garden layout. As for how long it would take to complete the project, the answer was next year, that is, [-].

"It seems that we will be able to take a good vacation here next year." This time, the map leader is just avoiding the nasty hardliners' remarks, and staying here for a few days to relax. On August [-], he will return to Moscow to discuss at the Supreme Soviet meeting. Speech on the New Treaty of Union.

When there were only two of them, Mrs. Raisa asked abruptly, "Honey, before we came, Yakovlev once came to the house. He thinks you can't leave Moscow at this time, there is a risk of a coup d'etat , I don’t know if it’s right, but what do you think?”

The smile on Map Head's face faded away, and finally he let out a heavy sigh, "Dear Raisa, I messed up and now I just want to relax."

"Actually, I know that I have almost ruined the Soviet Union when I had all the advantages. I used to be able to make Boris stand aside with a single sentence when I had the most advantages. But when he chose to leave the Soviet Union, he was not in When he was against me within this framework, I found that I couldn't do anything to him."

"I hesitated. I used to trust Yakovlev very much, but I understand that the situation is caused by my trust in him. The British and Americans are now more inclined to Boris. I also know that I am not popular now, and the hardliners are the same. Don't like me, neither the Ministry of Defense nor the KGB."

"Even if the new alliance treaty is successfully signed, I can't guarantee how long it will last under Boris' political attack. I don't know what the future will hold and what other people will think of me."

Listening to her husband's words, Raisa suddenly seemed to have figured something out, "Do you also think that there will be a coup when you come out this time?"

"I don't know, maybe there may be or not." The map profile picture is a complete failure, or facing a patient with terminal cancer who has given up treatment, facing the sea breeze, his face is cloudy and uncertain.

If other people want to snatch this crown, then go for it, he can't find a way out, if others can find it, then hand over the Soviet Union to him.

On this day at Kalinin City Station, a very inconspicuous old lady came down from the station. She was borrowed by someone from the Kalinin Vodka Company as soon as she walked out of the station. "Let Alexander come to the winery to meet me." Fultseva The Alexander in his mouth is the first secretary of Kalinin City.

"No problem, Ms. Fultseva." The person in charge of the winery answered happily, and then asked, "Would you like to inspect the winery?"

"Why not? Little guy." Fultseva said enthusiastically, "Don't look at me now that I am a little older. 40 years ago, I still had the strong physique of an athlete."

The Kalinin Vodka Distillery grew during the Prohibition period and became the largest vodka brand in the Soviet Union. It depends on the spread of new ideas. This privatized group is the most famous big brand in the Soviet Union. How could the Russians not like it? What about drinking?The entire city of Kalinin also developed very well relying on this vodka group.

Most importantly, as a pioneer of privatized enterprises, the group is full of social responsibility, solved part of the unemployment problem brought by Cai Jun, and actively recruited veterans, leaving a good impression.

Of course, these veterans obviously don't like the division of the country. They are not ordinary troops, but the Soviet troops stationed in Germany.

With the departure of the map head family, a brief power vacuum appeared in Moscow. On the surface, it was nothing. After all, the map head's prestige was not high, and nothing happened today.

"It's like playing house." Alexeyev fiddled with the big-brimmed hat, and put it on with a sigh of relief. His father was right, this group of people is really bad, and it seems that he is the only one who wants a real coup d'état .

The first thousand, 750 and eight chapters of farce-like first day

Fortseva almost left Moscow head-to-head with the map. From the moment she boarded the plane, Alekseev was staring at the leaders of the Soviet Union who were planning a coup. According to his thinking, it must be a thunderbolt. , as Yanayev called the main members to his home, he knew that something was coming.

Just now, he was enthusiastically participating in the meeting as a non-staff member without the knowledge of the main members, and also learned of a new term emergency committee.

The person who appeared at Yanayev's house was Soviet Prime Minister Pavlov, who was the original Chairman of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Internal Affairs Pugo.And the Deputy Chairman of the Defense Committee of the USSR Oleg Dmitrievich Baklanov.

Vasily Aleksandrovich Starodubtsev, Chairman of the Peasants' Union of the USSR; Alexander Invanovich Tjakov, Chairman of the Union of State Enterprises of the USSR - Industry, Construction, Transport, Post and Telecommunications.

Let's go and give it a try. 】

At the moment of discussing the content of the coup, Alexeyev was taken aback. Yanayev almost repeatedly emphasized when he was sober that even if one person in the Soviet Union died as a result, the coup this time was a failure and ran counter to our ideals.

Alexeyev heard at least six repetitions, he almost smashed his earphones, are you doing a coup or just kidding?

What to do if there is no coup d'état, you need to debate, directly ask the Russian president to debate, none of these members can debate the Russian president.

The reason why I say sober is because this meeting on the first day of the couple's vacation on the map quickly turned into drinking, and from the subsequent content, it seems that all Yanayev's guests were drunk Drunk, Alexeyev directly crossed out six people from the list of the State of Emergency Committee, leaving the names of Minister of Defense Yazov and Chairman of the National Security Council Kryuchkov.

If Alan Wilson can contact Hao Daer at this time, he will definitely be able to give reasonable suggestions. In fact, during the August [-] incident, most of the members just occupied the field, and it was Yazov and Krucci who really played a role. Cove, a Minister of Defense and a Chairman of the KGB, knew that the coup was not a joke, and wanted to be ready for battle from the beginning.

As for the vice president and the prime minister of the Soviet Union, what they thought was that as long as they proudly raised their chests, the Khitan people would obediently submit without causing casualties.Everyone has withdrawn from the Soviet Communist Party, thinking that in the past, the problem was solved by holding an internal meeting?

Alekseev, who was a little bit above, believed his father's words at this time, and could not act together with these joking big shots, and ordered several people in the monitoring equipment, "The people on the 24-hour monitoring list must not leave blanks. .” The watch list also has the name of the Russian president.

"Vice Chairman, we will never let go of any gaps." Several young faces gave a military salute to Alekseyev. They also knew that the matter was of great importance, and the work at this moment absolutely determined the fate of the Soviet Union.

Alexeyev nodded solemnly. In fact, not only the monitoring room, but also the faces of the entire operation were quite young, and he was specially selected from various places. The situation in the Soviet Union has deteriorated in recent years, and the information has been chaotic. The Higher Secret Service School is also protected from confusing information.

Wanting to get rid of these confusing information, Alexeyev thought of a group of schools that cultivated agents from a young age, including seven towns including Gazna, so he selected personnel from the seven spy cities and arranged them for the required posts. Go up, make sure this time the action can be as directed.

Today's monitoring content is really eye-opening. The members of the emergency committee at Yanayev's home were all drunk, which directly dispelled his delusions. At least six of the official members are not trustworthy. I don't know. How about the Minister of Defense and the Chairman of the KGB, and a couple of other names mentioned.

"Ligachev and Ryzhkov are not on the list of the emergency committee." Alekseev left the monitoring room, really wanting to talk to his father, but after a short thought, he, a KGB chairman in his 40s, It is absolutely unreasonable to always ask a foreigner for advice. You must pass this level by yourself.

These two people who used to be the number two figures on the map at different times, Ryzhkov is now a representative of the Supreme Soviet, which is equivalent to a member of Parliament in the United Kingdom. , who now has no position at all, was ordered to retire last year.

But are you really retired?In Kalinin City, Ligachev looked at Fortseva in astonishment, "Comrade Ekaterina, what do you mean?"

"The motherland has reached an extremely dangerous time, can't you see it? Comrade Ligachev?" Furtseva asked with a half-smile, "The situation is already very dangerous, just watch it, and Mikhail will be there soon. If we completely lose power, we will also lose the motherland that we have fought for all our lives."

Ligachev's heart fluctuated, and he asked with trembling voice, "Is someone planning a coup? Get him out of power?"

"Yes, but I'm not optimistic about them." Fultseva's eldest son did not choose to contact a foreigner again in the end, but the senior mother still hoped that the cultural tsar would give some advice.

Fultseva’s opinion is that she can’t directly help with this matter, and can only rely on Alexeyev herself, but she can help with one thing, which is to organize an experienced ruling team to help make the situation clear afterwards. The country stabilized.The premise is victory, failure is nothing.

"Comrade Ligachev, what do you think of Marshal Akhromeyev?" Fortseva looked at Ligachev and asked. She was actually not very familiar with Marshal Akhromeyev, because the two were active The age was different. Marshal Akhromeyev was ten years younger than Furtseva, and he was a late bloomer.

Fultseva was already the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee in the 50s. It can be said that she was already a powerful female representative 40 years ago.

Marshal Akhromeyev did not become a leader in the military until the 80s, and he has not yet been the number one figure in the military.

"I can only say that Marshal Akhromeyev has a very bad perception of Mikhail." Ligachev mentioned one thing to explain where this perception is. Simply put, it was once in the face of When it comes to the map head, the map head is called the Gandhi of the Soviet Union.

"That's really an evaluation that makes the sky bluer." Fultseva raised her eyebrows, and she had no illusions about the emergency committee from Alexeyev's report.

The people promoted by these map heads are too poor. He wants to organize his own emergency committee. I don't know if Ligachev has any candidates.

Fortseva was actually selected, for example, the Shelepin group that was once uprooted by Brezhnev, the supporters of Podgorny, and even the supporters of Brezhnev, are now probably older It's useless, but if they are all gathered together, at least the crowd looks very powerful.

"Where are they?" KGB Chairman Kryuchkov found that at the critical moment, no one could be found anywhere, and the only one who could be found was Yazov. Finally, the two came to Yanayev's home and saw a group of Drunk emergency committee member.

Kryuchkov was furious and scolded Yanayev's guards. They were like a group of pig teammates. On the first day the map leader left Moscow, he handed over such an answer sheet?

"Where's Pavlov?" Yazov looked around at his sleepy-eyed colleagues and asked the guard where the Soviet Prime Minister was.

"Minister of Defense, the Prime Minister has already left due to drinking and feeling unwell." The guard replied tremblingly. After all, the status of the Soviet Minister of Defense was still very threatening.

Yazov who inquired did not know at this time that Pavlov had already gone to the hospital because of drinking too much, but from the scene in front of him, Yazov intuitively felt that this operation had little hope of success. As an atheist, he himself should not Thinking so, but the scene in front of him is really not a good sign.

"It seems that there are only two of us." Leaving Yanayev's house, Yazov said to Kryuchkov abruptly, referring to this operation, only the military and the KGB can do it. Reliance, as for the performance of these vice presidents and prime ministers, just don't hold back.

"The two of us? That's enough." Kryuchkov gritted his teeth for a moment, "If the new alliance treaty is not stopped, the Soviet Union will become history. We must act immediately and mobilize the army into the city. At the same time, I will send special agents to take the Russian President Take control."

Alexeyev was busier than the members of the emergency committee, trying to find out who was on the list given by his mother, Semychasny?Xie Lepin, each of these names seems to be the main members of the coup in the 60s, and they had the same status as members of the emergency committee.

However, Alexeyev easily found the first person, Semichasny, who lives in Moscow, Kalinin is not far from Moscow, and soon met Voltseva.

The first thousand 750 chapters and nine reasons for doing it

Semichasny has lost the style of 20 years ago. Compared with the KGB chairman who was in his 30s at the time, this important figure of the Shelepin Group came to Kalinin without anyone noticing, and then met him who was not close at the time. , but can not be called the enemy of Fultseva.

Semichasny is a KGB chairman with a low sense of presence. This is because he was too young at the time. He became the head of the most powerful department just after 35 years old. Zenev let go.

Of course it's also because of his youth. Even now, Semichasny is not too old, and he seems to be more energetic than Ligachev.

"Katyusha, you want a coup?" After hearing Fultseva's purpose, Semichasny was taken aback. If he remembered correctly, Fultseva should have left the Central Committee for many years, and he himself has retired. Next, still thinking about a coup?Who listens to you?

"Vladimir, you were the youngest department head in the country back then." Furtseva replied noncommittally, "In fact, you didn't have a high sense of existence at the time, and you were avoiding Brezhnev's attention. In fact, our response was similar. , the reason why the results are different, I have to mention a weakness in me, which can also become an advantage at critical moments, I am a woman."

The Soviet Union is very equal, but it does not deliberately prove equality, so Fultseva has been at the top of the Soviet Union for more than 20 years without causing trouble, but it is certainly impossible to be the number one person.

It is also because of her gender-protective color that her children have made it to today step by step, and they are about to start participating in the coup d'état.

"But you have already retired, who can you ask for help?" Semichasny shook his head. From Fultseva, he knew that the coup d'état that gathered almost all the heads of important departments had already begun. There is room for Fortseva to play.

"Why can't it work." Fultseva was full of fighting spirit at this time, and she didn't show any signs of aging, she said every word, "Now I am about to carry out the third coup d'etat in my life."

Semichasny felt that the cultural tsar was crazy, but in fact Semichasny had left the Central Committee for too long, and thought that the CPSU was an invincible and combative organization.But Fultseva, who had another phone call with Alexeyev, knew that the members of the emergency committee were drunk on the first day, and she was already disappointed in the team of the strongest coup in history.

"What, are they drunk?" Semichasny looked shocked. Now that the KGB has become like this, he didn't know that Kryuchkov was not among the people drinking.

But this incident gave Semichasny a very bad impression. If the members of the emergency committee are like this, it is really hard to say.

Fultseva asked if there was any contact with friends in Semichasny. The latter nodded and said, of course there was, including Yegorychev, the first secretary of Moscow at the time, Kharazov, the second secretary of Lithuania, and the oil industry. Minister Tikunov, TASS President Meshatsev, Azerbaijan First Secretary Kochemasov, Soviet Radio Chairman Goryunov, Leningrad City Party First Secretary Tolskikov, etc.

"Look, in fact, you people were strong enough back then, didn't you lose to Brezhnev in the end? Now, looking at the positions of Yanayev and others, you feel that you will definitely succeed?"

Fultseva spoke with a faint smile. She didn't mean to laugh at these young men back then, but to give everyone a chance, "I'm different from you. I have a proud son."

As for the fact that there is another man who can help at any time on the same level as her husband, Semichasny doesn't need to know. He only needs to know that the son of the cultural tsar is now in a position to be wooed.

Semichasny opened his mouth. The KGB executives and the top leaders of the Moscow security department are of course worth wooing. If Alexeyev does not obey orders, Kryuchkov really has nothing to do.

In a trance, the youngest KGB chairman at the time recalled the two coups in Fultseva's life. During the first coup, Fultseva stood guard at the Moscow airport and persuaded the committee members to support Khrushchev one by one. The second time was to cut off Khrushchev's supporters. It seems that the cultural tsar has such a believable charm.

"Don't forget that Kalinin City is the logistics base of the Moscow Military District. Do you know the division of labor of the Kalinin Vodka Group?" Fultseva introduced confidently, "In fact, these workers are divided according to the establishment, a production line They were all comrades-in-arms of the same unit. The squad leader was the team leader, the company commander was the section leader, and the battalion commander was the production director.”

Kalinin Vodka did not break up the retired Soviet army in Germany, but changed its name to carry out production work. The people are still those people, but they have no weapons for the time being.

Semichasny still gave Fortseva a suggestion. There is no need to look for Podgorny’s supporters. Sherest, as the leader of Ukraine, played an irreplaceable role in the rise of local nationalism. Thank you. Erbitski promoted almost as many people.

"So that's the case." Fultseva nodded when she heard it. She really didn't know the inside story of the struggle between Brezhnev and Podgorny.

Come on, Sherest loves Ukraine and the Ukrainian language more than any other Kiev politician.Once when he went to a state, he noticed a slogan "Complete the construction project one month ahead of schedule", and pointed out dissatisfiedly: "The slogan is written in Russian, but obviously all the people working here are Ukrainians."

Moscow is wary of such moves, seeing them as signs of nationalism and separatism.Sherest relied on a section of Ukrainian intellectuals who often spoke bitterly of what had happened to their nation and blamed it on Russia.

If Fortseva supports the Khitans, then these Ukrainian cultural intellectuals are useful, and if they support the Emergency Reloading Committee, then they cannot be found.

"You will know when the time comes." Fultseva did not say her purpose. Alekseev's position is in a position of being wooed. If the emergency committee acts vigorously, there must be nothing to say. Judging from a day's work, you can't be cannon fodder with these idiots.

The mother and son reached a consensus on this time, which was also the third coup that Fultseva had experienced in her life, and they wanted to be the one whose fate was not controlled.

After a long phone call and estimation of various emergencies, the mother and son decided to see the action of the emergency committee. If they were still playing around like this, they would side with the Russian president.

Such a precious thing as time was wasted by the members of these emergency equipment committees. This made Alexeyev couldn't bear to look directly at it. The onlookers were so angry, especially Minister of Defense Yazov and KGB Chairman Kryuchkov. He said that although the two knew that this was not a small matter, they were not the leaders of the executive department. To be justified, the leaders of the administrative department still need to come forward. Vice President Yazov and Prime Minister Pavlov can be such people. No way.

During the precious time, Yazov issued an appeal in the Ministry of Defense to call on the members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in the army to strengthen their unity and defend the motherland. This appeal directly awakened Yakovlev.

The former Minister of Propaganda, now the Presidential Advisor, directly called the reporter of Izvestia, accused the conservatives of the CPSU of wanting a coup, and announced on the spot that he would withdraw from the CPSU.

Alan Wilson, who has been suppressing his contact with Moscow, is staring at any news from Moscow almost every day. Hearing Yakovlev's public remarks, he glanced at the time and saw that it was only August [-]th. He took a deep breath. Take a breath, it's really a joke.

The secret planning of a coup d'etat group with the strongest lineup in history can even be seen by a person who is only an adviser to the president now, which shows the level of these members.

This appeal from the Ministry of National Defense directly made Kryuchkov unable to sit still. At this moment, he had a feeling that the clown turned out to be himself. He just felt that even the heads of several administrative departments are unreliable. Yazov is fine, just let Yazov and the others stand.

But I didn't expect that the military leader would publicly tell their purpose through a letter before he took any action. The angry Kryuchkov went directly to Yazov. Why didn't he discuss it with him in the open letter? Yazov I don't think there is any problem with this, "let the people understand our purpose."

"It's nonsense, we could have made things up and explained them later." Kryuchkov took a deep breath. He didn't expect the Ministry of Defense to be so naive.

Yakovlev's actions directly caused disagreements in the emergency committee, and there was a voice that he still wanted to act rashly.
