Soviet Union 1991

(The second of three updates)

Speaking of it, Dudayev is one of the most wronged leaders in Chechnya. After all, he is an outlier among all the Chechen leaders. ■ Dudayev is a typical atheist and has no interest in the so-called Islamic doctrines. He just wants to use the extreme doctrines of the Wahabi sect to launch a jihad in order to achieve Chechnya's goals.

So he looks more like a Wahabi than any Wahabi, but he is a pure pagan in his bones. However, Dudayev's approach is obviously thankless, because secular sects have always been incompatible with extreme doctrines. Even if they are forced to unite because of foreign enemies, the two sects are constantly in conflict in private, and Dudayev's compromise and concessions make the conflicts between the two factions more and more frequent. From pitting teammates on the battlefield to private fights, even Dudayev began to have a headache with the Wahabi sect.

But the jihad must go on, so Dudayev must choose to sacrifice the rebellious Kadyrov to stabilize people's hearts. He even wanted to acquiesce to the Wahhabi faction to encroach on Kadyrov's power to strengthen the power of Chechen separatist forces. A united, unified and brave faction was his only choice. ▼●.ww.▼

Dudayev's drinking poison to quench thirst was naturally warmly welcomed by the Wahhabi faction. They colluded together to plan how to deal with Kadyrov. Dudayev even recalled his confidant Maskhadov from the front line and persuaded him to join the Wahhabi faction to carry out a house arrest operation.

After all, Kadyrov is the spiritual leader of the Chechen world. He can't execute Kadyrov openly. The backlash of the Sufi sect will make the situation in Chechnya even worse.

Vice President Maskhadov, who was recalled from the front line, went to Dudayev's office with a face full of hesitation. Since the Soviet army declared war, the Chechen armed forces have not had any major victories on the front line. Almost all of them were wiped out by the Soviet army's air strikes as soon as they had just achieved a small victory. They used the ground-to-air coordinated operations to the extreme. The Russian army had just attacked, and the machine gun position had not been firmly held, but it was hit by an air strike by fighter jets.

Even the slogan put forward by the Soviet Union was creepy. As long as Chechnya did not surrender. Leave the land but not the people.

And this slogan was also implemented and executed. Wherever the Soviet army passed, there were almost no living Chechen prisoners. There were only wreckage and concentrated buried bodies. ●●●▼■

Maskhadov shook his head. Putting these negative thoughts behind his mind, thinking about how to face Dudayev next, he walked to the door and handed the weapons to the soldiers stationed, then knocked on the door and waited for Dudayev's summons.

Dudayev inside said. "Please come in, Maskhadov."

Maskhadov pushed the door in, and he was a little surprised to see that Dudayev did not stand in front of the sand table to refer to the situation, but sat on the sofa with a blank face. When he saw Maskhadov, Dudayev forced a smile and said, "Maskhadov, my friend, how are you doing recently?"

The first thing Dudayev said was not that he was most concerned about the war on the front line, but how he was doing recently. Maskhadov felt a little uneasy in his heart. This abnormal greeting made Maskhadov more vigilant.

Maskhadov pulled a chair and sat down. ▼Seeing that the other party did not respond, he said, "I've been doing well recently. Oh, by the way, President Dudayev, how did you know that the person who came in just now was me?"

"Haha, my friend, you are the only one who will abide by the etiquette and knock on the door, unlike some people who don't follow the rules. Humph." Dudayev's double entendre further proved Maskhadov's doubts, thinking that he should have a secret matter to discuss with him next, or a bad one.

"Maskhadov. Let me ask you a question." Dudayev put his hands in his pockets. Without waiting for Maskhadov's answer, he said directly, "What kind of person do you think our Chief of General Staff Kadyrov is?"

"Huh? What kind of person is he?" Maskhadov was stunned for a moment. He quietly observed the changes in his facial expressions and thought for a while before giving a general answer without personal opinions and emotions, "I think he is a very good fighter, the backbone of the Islamic world, and the spiritual leader of the Chechen people."

"Well, the backbone of the Chechen world, what should we do if this backbone loses control? What should we do if he turns his guns and becomes a running dog of the Russians? Has Vice President Maskhadov considered this issue?" Dudayev looked at Maskhadov and forced him to make a choice. .ww.◆

The thing that Maskhadov was most reluctant to face finally appeared. He thought silently in his heart, is the contradiction between the secularists and the extreme doctrines really going to explode? Dudayev is obviously forcing me to stand in line. He answered cautiously, "I think President Dudayev should put the overall situation first and not act rashly. There are many people who are trying to sow discord, and perhaps they have their own purposes..."

"Enough, Maskhadov, I don't need to hear such an ambiguous answer. I just need to know, are you willing to do it or not?" Dudayev emphasized again.

The atmosphere became unusually silent and terrifying. For the first time, Maskhadov felt that the temperature in the office was colder than the severe winter outside. After thinking for a long time, he slowly answered, "Yes, I am willing to do it."

Maskhadov's weak character finally made him choose to compromise. Faced with the coercion and inducement of the Wahhabi faction, he had no other choice. After all, Maskhadov is only the nominal commander-in-chief, and the soldiers are really willing to be loyal to their respective factions. To put it simply, at this time, it is like the vassal state of Japan in the Edo period. The leaders of the large and small armies below are loyal to the actual military leaders, the armies of the major sects, and the armies of the major sects are loyal to Maskhadov. "Shogun".

Maskhadov, who had no real armed forces, was in a very depressed mood at this time.

"Very good, my friend." Dudayev beamed with joy. He patted Maskhadov on the shoulder and said, "I'm glad you made a right choice. The Chechen people will not forget your decision."

"Haha." Maskhadov smiled weakly. He looked up at the sky outside the window. He didn't know whether his move of focusing on the overall situation was right or wrong. He turned back and asked Dudayev, "You When do you plan to take action? This is more about speed than delay. The longer you delay, the higher the chance of being counterattacked by the enemy. "

Dudayev said in a low voice, "The action will be tonight. The reason why I asked you to express your position is because Maskhadov, you control the presidential guard. This is an armed force that cannot be underestimated. I will not allow you to take action tonight." The action went awry.”

Maskhadov suddenly realized that this was what Dudayev was worried about. If his presidential guard made a mistake, it would be more fatal than the failure of the arrest operation. If Maskhadov had rejected Dudayev's request...

His eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of the shotgun hidden in the corner, and he suddenly broke into a cold sweat. It turned out that Dudayev had long been prepared to silence him. If he chose to refuse, he might not be able to walk out of this door alive. Come on.

"One more thing, Maskhadov." Dudayev took off the blue-gray coat from the hanger and put it on, then straightened his clothes and prepared to go out. "Your presidential guard has jurisdiction tonight. Me, just take a good rest in my room and everything will be over when you get up tomorrow."

After Dudayev said this, he picked up the shotgun in the corner, took it out of the door without explaining anything to Maskhadov, and with the sound of the door closing, the empty office The only sound inside was the sound of Maskhadov pacing back and forth. He helplessly said towards the direction Dudayev left, "Is this considered house arrest? With Kadyrov under house arrest, can you replace his armed forces in an honest and fair manner? Don't forget Dudayev, Kady Rolf’s son Ramzan Kadyrov is also not a good person.”

It's a pity that the other party can no longer hear his advice. (To be continued.)
