Soviet Union 1991

The third update is complete

The Beslan incident was planned by Khattab and Basayev, and executed by his loyal deputy Colonel Madasyev. The 37 people led by them were also diehards of Islamic doctrine. The attack plan was carefully planned by them, and they specially chose the day to celebrate the victory of the anti-fascist war.

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 parade issued a condemnation statement in the Kremlin. They accused the incident of "anti-human and anti-peace" atrocities. Regarding this incident, even UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali called on 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, these guys with guilty consciences knew where the explosives and weapons of these Chechen militants came from. The CIA director even nodded slightly when he saw the parents crying heart-wrenchingly on TV, thinking that the previous assistance to the militants finally had the effect he wanted to see.

However, because this day was the anniversary of the victory of the anti-fascist war, the terrorists who attacked Beslan Middle School did not hold more than a thousand students hostage as in history, but only held more than 300 people.

This time the extremists did not choose to kill crazily. They came with political purposes. The purpose of the hostages was to release Dudayev who was imprisoned in Vorkuta Political Prison awaiting the death penalty.

The muzzle of the Kalashnikov gun was aimed at those innocent children. The extreme militants wearing black masks paced back and forth, watching every move outside the window vigilantly. They were full of booby traps and anti-infantry mines at the corners of the corridor, waiting for the Soviet army to forcefully attack.

The armored vehicles of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have surrounded the entire school. Soldiers with live ammunition set up a cordon a few hundred meters away, separating the crowd of onlookers from the anxious parents. This order came from Moscow thousands of miles away, and was directly issued by Yanaev to the Ministry of Internal Affairs troops in the Caucasus. They 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 parents who came with guns and fired randomly without listening to orders.

Moreover, because the information was too transparent at the beginning, the extremist organization members hidden in the crowd informed their internal accomplices. It also exposed the special forces' attack in advance.

Moreover, the Caucasians have been tough since ancient times, and many people in the Soviet army came from this place. Those parents may pick out any retired Alpha, Signal Flag, Blue Hat Special Forces members. Or Soviet veterans who have been in war in Afghanistan for a long time. In terms of combat effectiveness, this group of parents is no less than the gangsters in the school, but the on-site commanders do not believe that the unorganized and undisciplined loose personnel can defeat a group of well-armed thugs.

In addition, Yanayev also handed over the incident to the army to avoid some officials who were not familiar with the situation talking about it on paper. The Beslan incident that year was also because a group of guys who were pointing fingers decided to attack violently, and Alpha detonated explosives when he was not familiar with the internal situation, causing heavy casualties in the gymnasium.

Some parents gathered around the cordon holding Kalashnikov rifles, some holding Makarov pistols, and even some holding Mosin-Nagant rifles with PU scopes installed. Armed civilians surrounded the cordon and shouted loudly that they also wanted to join the battle for their children.

Putin was the highest commander at the scene. When Yanayev was not at the scene, he was responsible for coordinating the actions of the army and providing advice to the on-site commander based on his work experience in the KGB. Yanayev was not afraid to face the people, but his face was too eye-catching. No extremist will forget the face that frightened them. Because the Soviet army's order to massacre Chechen militants came from this middle-aged man who liked to remain silent.

If there was a black widow or an accomplice with external contacts hidden in the crowd. Yanayev's situation would be dangerous. So Putin is the best choice. First, he is a shadow man hidden in the Kremlin, and few people know that he is also one of the planners of the operation to hunt down militants.

"Parents, calm down. I understand your feelings." Putin stood in front of all the parents with guns and tried his best to comfort this group of indignant people. If the matter cannot be properly resolved, the special forces will have to fight a fierce battle with this group of tough retired soldiers before they attack the school.

However, poor Comrade Vladimir was still a little weak, and was soon surrounded by those parents as the commander on the scene. Although there were several soldiers around to maintain order, they could not withstand the shoving of nearly a hundred people.

"My daughter is only six years old, she's still inside. Let me go and save her!" the anxious parent shouted angrily.

"My child too, I was supposed to take him home for dinner today!" A parent with red eyes could not accept the bad news anyway.

"My son's birthday today, if anything happens to him, I will never let you go! You stopped me from saving him!" The emotional parent pointed the gun at Putin's head. The soldier next to him saw this scene and 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 took a step forward and put his forehead against the muzzle of the gun. He said, "But what's the use of your anxiety? Forcefully rush in to save the children? Do you know how many tripwire mines and grenades the bandits have buried in the corner? Do you know where they installed the explosives, waiting for you to go up and die? You don't know!"

"Your rescue without command and discipline is equivalent to death. What will happen to those children if there is an exchange of fire? You are brave and fearless and can sacrifice, but what about the lives of those children? If you think you can do better than the army to rescue, then shoot me first and step over my body. I will never let an innocent child sacrifice because of you!"

"If you think doing this will make you more emotional, then shoot." Putin closed his eyes after saying that.

Seeing Putin's crazy move, all the parents calmed down. It was the first time for them to see such a tough and fearless commander. In fact, Putin's words just now also poured cold water on the emotional parents. It is true that rushing in to save the children in unfamiliar circumstances is tantamount to sending the children to their deaths.

Thinking of this, many people slowly put down their guns. The parent who threatened him before also moved the muzzle of the gun away from Putin's forehead. He said to Putin with apology, "I'm sorry, I offended you just now, comrade."

"It's okay, I understand your feelings." Putin patted the parent's shoulder, and then said to the audience gathered at the scene, "We promise and guarantee to you that we will do everything we can to ensure the safety of the children. Now please put down your guns and hand them over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for unified custody, okay? I'm worried that if any parent's gun goes off, the criminals will start killing regardless of everything, and then it will really be irreparable."

"Okay." All the parents responded.

Putin deliberately exaggerated the facts. After hearing his words, the parents who were at a loss were also worried that their recklessness would harm the children inside, so they unloaded their weapons and handed them to the soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for safekeeping. Putin used the parents' eagerness to save people to cleverly resolve a potential crisis.

"Please wait patiently, we will definitely properly resolve this attack and give everyone an explanation." Seeing that most of the parents put down their guns, Putin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the ideological work of these parents can still be done. If it is delayed for half a day, it may be hard to say.

"Commander, I have a request." The parent standing next to him said emotionally, "I beg you to give me a chance to shoot the terrorists. I will never let anyone who hurts my son go!"

"Don't worry, the Soviet Union will not agree to let the terrorists live first. They will execute them all without leaving a single one."

At this moment, Putin showed the toughness and determination of the future gray cardinal of the Kremlin. (To be continued.)
