Soviet Union 1991

Main text Chapter 504 Big Storm

Third update

Yanayev returned to the command post, where Marshal Smirev was waiting for him. After seeing Yanayev, Smiryev came over and whispered, "General Secretary Yanayev, everyone is waiting for you to hold a celebration banquet."

"I just went out to express my feelings." Yanayev said, "You can help me with the celebration party, Comrade Smiryev. At least Marshal Azov is not here, and no one will stop you from having a meal at the wine table. play.”

"General Secretary Yanayev, it's not good for you to tease like this." Smiryev scratched his head in embarrassment. Yanayev had an unusual kindness to Smiryev. It can be said that he was sitting in the Soviet Union. The position of Navy Commander-in-Chief depends entirely on Yanayev's promotion, otherwise he doesn't know how long he would have to stay in the position of deputy staff officer before he can get ahead. But who knows that except Smiryev, the other naval generals are the confidants of the Goshi faction. That's why Smiryev, the most junior person, came to power so quickly. It was also because of Yanayev's relationship that Yazov included Smiryev in his care.

"Getting back to the subject, Comrade Smiryev, the Lotus satellite has been successfully launched, so I hope that the Red Navy can start to change its previous combat plans and strategies with the help of the vine system. I think the naval generals are very optimistic about me as a leader. It’s a big complaint, after all, it forced many generals to change careers.”

"Of course there is no problem, General Secretary Yanayev." Smiryev assured Yanayev.

"So Comrade Smiryev, there is still a key issue that needs you to solve." When Yanayev said this, his face became obviously gloomy. Smiryev followed Yanayev's movements very understandingly and went to a remote place to talk. After all, the less others know about some things at the top, the better.

"It's about those die-hards who are blocking the changes in the Soviet army. I hope you can purge them from the army. Marshal Ogarkov has been planning for so long just to prepare for this change. We no longer need Guys who stick to the rules, we only need those pioneers who welcome the new era. The old era has passed. If those who are greedy for the glory of the past are unwilling to come out, let them die with the old era. "

Once it comes to issues about the interests of the Soviet Union, Yanayev becomes emotionless. For him, the interests of the motherland always come first, followed by personal emotions. Even if you had outstanding achievements in the past, Yanayev would not give him any mercy. Being promoted overtly and subtly being demoted is already extremely merciful, but failure to appreciate promotion may directly cause the opponent to retire early. Precisely because he realized the importance of modernizing and informatizing the army, he took the risk to give Marshal Ogarkov a second chance and let him become the vanguard to clear away the officers who opposed modernization within the army.

The situation of the Soviet Union's navy was slightly better, and the Soviet armored forces were the focus of Yanayev's attack. In particular, those hawks who believed in the torrent of steel pushing Europe flatly became conservatives who blocked the construction of information-based troops.

"I will, General Secretary Yanayev."

Smiryev nodded a little stiffly, but he would definitely carry out Yanayev's orders faithfully, because he stood on Yanayev's side and unconditionally supported Yanayev's decision.

This is bound to be the second bombshell since the Soviet Union's large-scale troop dismantling in 1991.

At this time Yanayev was ready for the impact.

With the support of Air Marshal Shaposhnikov and General Valenshnikov, Yanayev's job of cleaning up the conservatives became much easier. In addition, Marshal Ogarkov had already As for the initial deployment, the opposition parties to Yanayev's military reform have now become the targets of targeted elimination. Yanayev is not in a hurry for the time being. As long as they are all pulled out, the entire Soviet army will There will be a new life.

The most important thing is for the middle-level military officers to quickly fill the vacancies after the senior officers are poached, and to ensure that the Soviet army after the reform has a tradition of maintaining good work style. This is the key issue Yanayev is concerned about.

And then all he has to do is wait for good news.

Yanayev did not stay in Kazakhstan, but went directly to Astana to take a flight back to Moscow. The busy Yanayev did not have time to slowly enjoy the scenery in Kazakhstan. Maybe someone in Europe Some conspiracy is being planned.

After returning to snowy Moscow from the dry climate of Kazakhstan, Yanayev looked a little tired, but he couldn't stop and rest now. After all, there were still a lot of documents waiting for him to review and approve.

As soon as he returned to the Kremlin, before Yanayev could sit down, Vladimir and Yazov walked into the office at the same time. Looking at these two people who happened to be the same, Yanayev suddenly felt a very ominous feeling in his heart. premonition.

Next they brought Yanayev shocking news.

Vladimir took a deep breath and said slowly, "A series of large-scale riots broke out in the Ingushetia region. Now the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are heading to the Ingushetia region to carry out suppressive operations. The riots occurred four hours ago. The Ingushetia region has entered level one alert, and troops stationed in North Ossetia are also advancing towards Ingushetia.”

After listening to Vladimir's report quietly, Yanayev couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Since Kryuchkov gave up, the entire KGB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have become Vladimir's single-handed departments. It can be said that the deputy minister is now the top person in charge of intelligence work and domestic security.

But it is also because of Putin's ability that Yanaev turned a blind eye to the power struggle between him and Kryuchkov, and even secretly protected the young future successor in some special circumstances.

"Have you found out the cause of the riot? I mean which party instigated the riot." Yanaev seemed very calm. The Caucasus region has been a frequent area of ​​ethnic conflicts since ancient times. In addition to the high-pressure ethnic policy, there is also the support of a controllable agent in the Caucasus region to maintain the stability and unity of the entire region.

"It is... the remaining sectarian armed forces of Wahhabi." Vladimir reported the bad news to Yanaev.

Yanaev's face changed instantly.

Obviously, he did not expect this situation to happen. (To be continued.)
