Soviet Union 1991

Just when Yanayev was almost losing his patience, he finally got the signal from the Americans to issue a negotiation statement. The Bush administration held a press conference and called on all parties to exercise restraint. Force was not the only way to resolve disputes, and it hoped that everyone could sit at the negotiating table and engage in friendly consultations. Of course, Bush's statement made Yanayev feel that the United States had gotten the wrong speech.

The United Kingdom and Germany, which are also NATO allies, felt very awkward when they heard this. It was you, the United States, who proposed to charge into the war. How come it was you, the United States of America, who came out to play the role of mediator when a crisis occurred in the end.

Selling and counting the money for others was the only feeling that German Chancellor Helmut Kohl felt at this moment. It was also the first time that he had a slight crack of trust in his trusted ally, the United States. It seems that the other party's face is a bit unfamiliar, and he is no longer the respected international friend who selflessly provided help during Berlin's crisis.

Of course, Yanayev was happy to accept this US mediation and was willing to conduct friendly consultations and exchanges with Western European countries on the conflicts that occurred in the Baltic Sea incident. One second he was holding up a Kalashnikov rifle with a fierce look. In the next second, the red polar bear turned into an elegant aristocrat wearing a gentleman's dress and sitting at the negotiation table chatting and laughing with Western European countries. The sudden change in the painting style made these guys a little confused.

Yanayev was not surprised at all. The Slavic people are not rude bandits. They are good at the war aesthetics of weapons and violence, and they are also good at the elegant art of music and painting. What impressed Yanayev the most was his performance during the Patriotic War. Soviet soldier playing the piano among the ruins of the city. This time, the elegant Russian aristocrats will go from Moscow to Munich for negotiations with sincerity.

It is said that the two leaders who escaped, Vytautas and Anatole, will also appear at the meeting.

"Comrade Putin, do you know that from the moment nuclear weapons were developed, communism almost lost the chance to unify the world. No matter how powerful the Soviet Union seemed to others later, he was A country with fatal flaws." Putin, who was riding in the car with Yanayev, heard the president's sentiments and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

But Yanayev did not give Putin a chance to answer, and continued to talk to himself, "Marx said before that the proletariat is to liberate the world through struggle and break the chains of bondage. But the invention of the atomic bomb made the world war a An impossible war, because once a nuclear war breaks out, the earth will enter the most terrible winter, and no country can stand up from the ruins. This will make it impossible for the proletariat to free itself from the shackles of the old era and gain new life. , do you understand what I said?”

"The inability to uniformly distribute global interests, coupled with the abnormal development of the state-planned economy in the later stages, finally brought the Soviet Communist Party to the brink of collapse. In order to realize our great ideals, we need to change our policy. From now on, economic construction will be more important than Ideological struggle is more important. Of course, I will tell you, Comrade Putin, please don’t spread it, otherwise there will be a big disturbance.”

Yanayev lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and looked into the distance with a hint of melancholy, "I am old and may not have much time left to waste. And you, full of vigor and spirit, should not be with me. This sluggish red empire will grow old together. When the Soviet Union has passed this most difficult period, a new, stable and huge empire will be delivered to you. By then, I hope you can lead the people to victory. "

How long was the most difficult period? Yanayev didn't know either. Anyway, he knew that the Soviet Union would never be able to return to its most powerful level during the Brezhnev period. When I discussed the effectiveness of economic reforms with Ryzhkov before, he also said that even if a stable reform plan is followed, a new stable economic situation will not be formed until at least 1999. This does not guarantee the risk of failure of the United States and those Western European countries that interfere with it.

It’s 1999, let’s call it 1999. The rule of lifelong responsibility for the top leader should be changed. The predecessors have been suppressing the younger generations, so how can the younger generations come forward? Are we going to let the Western world criticize us and say that the replacement of Soviet leaders relied solely on coups?

This passage can be said to have finalized Comrade Vladimir's political career in the future. The sudden surprise made the young Putin stunned. After being dazed for a while, he cautiously asked the question he had always wanted to ask, "Why me?"

Why you? Faced with this problem, Yanayev was a little speechless for a moment. Yes, if the damn time travel hadn't given me such a bad body, I wouldn't have to be so anxious to step down from the top position of the supreme leader. down. But Yanayev is now the supreme leader of the CPSU, and his words and deeds will represent the entire country. I can only pretend to be deep and say, "In the entire Moscow political arena, you are the only seedling I have found that is worth cultivating. I have always believed that you are the best person to lead the Soviet Union to glory. You have stayed by my side these past few years. See the outside world. Although you were exposed to enough things when you were a KGB agent, when you are in the leadership, you see things from a different perspective. "

Some outsiders have speculated about the relationship between Putin and Yanayev before. Some people even believed that Putin was Yanayev's illegitimate son. In fact, Yanayev's fancy for Putin's ability was just based on the inertial thinking of a historical traveler. . If it had been a few years earlier, he would have been able to prevent the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and prevent the United States from using oil to attack the Soviet Union. These two things can be said to be the biggest indirect drivers of the Soviet Union's disintegration. But all this has become an established fact. All Yanayev can do is to prevent some future things from happening.

Putin was so moved by Yanayev's words that he could not speak. He bowed deeply to Yanayev and said, "I will never forget the cultivation that the General Secretary has given me."

"Haha, I am just acting as a guide. It is your ability that attracts many admirers like a light that cannot be concealed. I also hope that you can learn something new from this Baltic crisis. For example Diplomatic means, political means, as you can see, if Western European countries did not choose the negotiating table in the end, we would have lost a lot. There will only be more such political adventure means in the future, so I also hope that you can be mentally prepared first. "

Putin nodded, and just as he was about to speak, the car stopped. They finally arrived at their destination, the conference building in Munich. Decades ago, Britain and France chose appeasement here, and decades later Western European countries also chose compromise here.

"Now, my assistant in the general secretary's office, come with me to crush the last line of defense of the Soviet enemies." Yanayev smiled at Putin.

The door of the presidential seat was opened, and the flashing spotlights outside the car window were dazzling. Yanayev stepped out of the car and waved to the journalists who were watching eagerly outside the police cordon. Putin followed closely behind him, showing for the first time With a determined look on his face, the superior walked towards the door of the Munich conference venue with firm steps behind Yanayev.

Hello enemies of the Soviet Union, here comes the red polar bear.
