Soviet Union 1991

"Chairman Kryuchkov, you should take a look at this, the telegram from the East German branch to the Lubyanka."

"And things were a little bit worse than we expected."

The assistant opened the door hurriedly, and before Kryuchkov, who was sitting in the chair, could react, she put the information in front of him, "KGB agents detected an assassination plot against Krenz, and just before he On the day of the speech, the assassination was carried out by a group of extreme Islamic refugee groups, and by the way, other intelligence agencies may also be involved.”

"Um?"

Kryuchkov quickly scanned the not-so-long document and frowned. If something unfortunate happened to Krenz, General Secretary Yanayev would be the first to unscrew his head.

Krenz is the key to Yanayev's establishment of the Three Kingdoms Alliance between France, Germany and the Soviet Union. On this point alone, Kryuchkov must not let the other party make any mistakes. Just a little mistake will ruin the entire next plan.

"Have we found out whether it is the CIA, MI6, or other intelligence agencies? What countermeasures do we have?" Kryuchkov asked, because the only person he could think of who was most likely to carry out the assassination was These people are gone.

"Not yet. Intelligence feedback only suspects that they are organized and premeditated."

Kryuchkov closed the book very dissatisfied, his expression as cold as a knife, cutting through the emotions of the assistants present. He was more afraid of the KGB leader in front of him than a terrorist attack.

"Then ask the people from the East German branch to find out what's going on for me immediately. I don't want anything to go wrong at this critical moment. If the organization behind it can't be found, it will be Krenz's turn after his death. them."

The assistant retreated angrily, escaping Kryuchkov's violent storm. But the KGB branch in Germany may not be so lucky...

Kryuchkov sat at the table. He thought for a long time and decided that he should still call Yanayev. After all, the general secretary had repeatedly warned Krenz that nothing should happen to him, but if something like this happened at this juncture, he would not be able to spend the years before retirement safe and sound.

Yanayev had just received the minister of energy department to discuss the Soviet Union's oil production. Before he could sit down when he returned to the office, he received a call from Kryuchkov. Kryuchkov's slightly heavy voice came from the phone. sound.

"General Secretary Yanayev, we have received reliable information that someone is about to assassinate the leader of the German Democratic Renaissance Party on the day Krenz gave his speech."

"Are you going to assassinate Krenz?"

Yanayev was not panicked yet, but he had a certain headache. He scratched his head and asked, "Has the identity of the guy who assassinated Krenz been confirmed? I want to know who dared to assassinate the candidate designated by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union."

"Intelligence feedback is that there is a group of Islamic refugees who are dissatisfied with Krenz's policies. Some of them even have the identity of former Libyan army and are suspected of being related to some extremist organizations. They want to use this incident to bring down the German Democratic Ennahda Party. It is possible that the CIA, MI6 or even the shady Republican Party may be involved, or even someone within the German Democratic Renewal Party wants to compete for the position of chancellor candidate. This kind of thing is not necessarily possible. It’s hard to explain.”

Yanayev thought for a long time and then said slowly, "I will be responsible for contacting the German side about this matter. I need the KGB to find out who is instigating this action as soon as possible. No matter who the enemy is, we cannot Take it lightly.”

"good."

Kryuchkov answered seriously that he still knew himself about this matter, otherwise he would not have immediately asked KGB agents to investigate.

Yanayev paused and finally added.

"One more thing, Comrade Kryuchkov, don't let this incident leak out, not even Jonishkis, because we don't know who the real enemy is yet. . Senator Krentz has made too many enemies.”

After hanging up the phone, Yanayev used a secret line to call Krenz. And told him the sad news tactfully.

"Assassination?"

Krenz didn't show much panic. For him, most of these secret threats fell through.

"General Secretary Yanayev wants to assassinate a candidate for prime minister. This will provoke East Germany and West Germany to tear up the peace agreement. The refugees are not smart enough, but the people who stand behind them are not idiots."

"I know."

Yanayev nodded, "So I will let the KGB intelligence personnel find out as soon as possible who is behind the fire."

Krenz unexpectedly gave Yanayev a negative answer, "No need, we will let the assassination plan proceed as scheduled, grasp their time and location. And fire the shot while I am giving a speech."

madman.

Krenz's madness quickly caught up with Yanayev when he first came to power. He knew what the other party was thinking.

"Then you can pour all the dirty water on the refugees, and your winning rate will greatly increase. You can even use this as a threat to force the Federal Republic of Germany to make concessions. After all, you occupy all the high ground. No matter what, this will It will win you a huge number of votes, and you can even use this as an excuse to expand your armaments.”

Krenz didn't speak. What he wanted to say was finished before Yanayev could.

"I know, Senator Krenz, the election is approaching, I hope you know what to do next."

The General Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party unexpectedly discovered that Krenz was far more scheming than he had imagined. Even if he took an unconventional approach, he knew where to end up.

"I have placed all my bets on this assassination, including the future of Germany. This country has been cowardly for too long, and it needs a strong man of iron and blood to awaken the sleeping people."

"At that time, I hope that the KGB will arrange these things. You know, now except for the Soviet side, I can't trust anyone, including the German Democratic Renaissance Party. God knows who is the one who planned this conspiracy."

After discussing the details with Yanaev, he replied angrily.

"When I become the leader of Germany, I will clean up all the bastards who forced Germany to death! They should be hanged on street lamps, and use their blood to wash away the shame of Germany for so many years!"

"The left-wing saint, human rights organizations, all must die!" (To be continued.)
