Soviet Union 1991

The sound of gunfire approached Bucharest, leaving panic on the faces of all senior members of the Congress. They began to worry about their future and fate. Perhaps like Dubcek in the Prague Spring, he believed that Yanayev's war of aggression was a continuation of Brezhnevism.

At the hastily convened Romanian People's National Conference, Constantinescu expressed his idea of ​​moving the capital to others without concealing it. He believed that Bucharest was now in a precarious situation and must be moved to Bonaka in the direction of Hungary to ensure safety.

Six hours before the meeting, NATO's vanguard had reached the border of Hungary. Soon they would be able to enter Romania and establish a military buffer zone to deal with the threat of the Soviet war machine.

President Mario believed that they had earned money by being able to station troops in Romania. After all, the White House had tried every means to infiltrate Eastern Europe without success.

However, the vast majority of members of the Congress did not stand on Constantinescu's side this time.

Their roots were in southern Romania, and fleeing meant that all industries would be abandoned.

Romania's fate became precarious, like a fishing boat drifting in a stormy sea, a slight wave could destroy all the crew. And those MPs who had already tied their fate to Constantinescu began to consider whether to change their agent. They chose Constantinescu's regime instead of Voinea's re-election because of stability. However, the stability of Romania's internal politics was broken by the invasion of external forces.

If the Soviets really wanted to support another person as the rebel troops said, the best outcome for Romania would be the confrontation between the oligarchs who supported Constantinescu and the people's class who supported Voinea. The Soviets, as the biggest pusher behind the scenes, pushed the development of Eastern European events.

Bucharest Prison was the only place that was not affected and affected. After all, no one would be interested in a group of prisoners. There was only one exception. Voinea, who was placed in a solitary prison, looked at the headlines of the newspapers. The newspapers and public opinion were controlled by the Social Democratic Party, and he could see the most real situation almost every day.

Although the cold iron bars restricted Voinea's freedom, they could not restrict his thoughts. The slogans of overthrowing oligarchs and social democratic reforms did not disappear because of his imprisonment. Instead, they became more radical with the invasion of the Soviet army. The Social Democratic Party is still fanning the flames, asking the entire Romanian people to stand up and overthrow the despicable and shameless oligarch traitors in this crisis and establish a true, socialist democratic country.

The headline version of the newspaper was the rebellion of the navy, and it almost brought out the name of "respecting the king and fighting against traitors". However, when Voinea saw this news, the corners of his mouth were obviously raised, which showed that Moscow had not given up on him.

Even if he was thrown into prison and became a veritable "abandoned child", the Soviet Union's ambition to infiltrate Romania was still not abandoned. Although it is unknown what the ideal of a democratic world advocated by Yanaev is, it has the power to inspire people. Coupled with the public opinion operation of the Social Democratic Party, the forces in Bucharest will soon be agitated. Even if the Romanian army can wipe out all the opposition in one fell swoop, they will not have time to rush to the capital. Soviet bombers hovered over Romania, determined to swallow it in one breath.

What was unusual was the attitude of the United States. Even though the Soviet Union had invaded with the most radical means, they remained silent as usual, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with it.

"It's really strange."

Voynea had been paying attention to NATO's movements since the beginning of the war, but the other party had been in a state of hesitation. It seemed that they did not want to join this war.

This attitude surprised and delighted Voinea. He was happy that if he really cooperated with the Soviet Union, he would not be driven out by the radical NATO, and even in the worst case, the two regimes could be maintained.

What was surprising was that he was worried that NATO would have other plans in the future. Although the White House's methods were not as clever as those of the Moscow regime, it did not mean that those guys were stupid.

The United States must be planning something, which is one of the reasons why Voinea has not made a statement to the outside world in prison. He hopes to wait until Bucharest is under his control before expressing his attitude and position.

Just as he was about to pick up the coffee on the table, a strange sound came from outside the window.

It sounded like the roar of some propeller helicopter. Bucharest Prison is located more than 50 kilometers away from the suburbs. Logically, no one should come to the prison at this time.

Unless...

Voynea's heart sank. It seemed that the rebellion of the navy was a bit inappropriate. Only one day had passed and Constantinescu sent people to divert the target.

Voinea put down the coffee. It was impossible to escape through the layers of iron bars, and the orange prison uniform made him particularly eye-catching.

Just as he felt strange, the prison sounded a red alarm. The fully armed explosion-proof prison guards began to run to the end of the corridor. They were still trying to rule everyone.

"The Soviets are coming!"

Voynea approached the window curiously, but saw an amazing scene.

It was a fully armed Mi-28 helicopter, with rocket nest holes and 30mm machine guns aimed at the prison's observation tower. Bucharest Prison had no plan to deal with the invasion of armed helicopters. The rifle in his hand could not penetrate the heavy steel plates of these low-altitude hunters.

The other two Mi-28s approached silently from another place. Electromagnetic interference turned Bucharest Prison into an isolated island. No help information could be dissipated from here.

"Boom!"

The flames of the explosion raised the temperature outside to a scorching high temperature, burning people's skin. The unbearable heat wave made Voinea lie down instinctively, almost singeing his beard.

Then the whole prison turned into a hell of gunfire. He listened to the familiar gunshots of the Kalashnikov rifle, approaching from far to near in the busy corridor.

Voinea took off his glasses and waited for the last moment to come.

The sudden explosion drilled into his ear, torturing his eardrum wantonly. The buzzing sound swept over his ears like a wave, and the original hustle and bustle was sucked into the vacuum sponge. The sound of the whole world seemed to disappear.

He saw a group of guys in black uniforms rushing in, and after hurriedly checking Voinea's physical condition and confirming that he was fine, they immediately carried him out the door.

"Mr. Voinea, the Soviet representatives are ready to welcome you back to the position of Romanian President. Now it's time to welcome the people."

The commander took him to the armed helicopter and fled the scene. Thanks to the fact that the Romanian Air Force and Air Defense Forces had not had radar equipment for many years, it was easy to invade their systems with electronic warfare and paralyze the entire network link.

The plan code-named "Red Aid" was fully implemented by Comrade Vladimir, and the command fully cooperated with his plan. Perhaps it was because they saw that Vladimir's coming to power after Yanayev's abdication had become a foregone conclusion, so the military also tried to please the future successor of the Soviet Union.

The plan did not suffer much loss, and Vladimir even overestimated the strength of the Romanian army. More than a decade of corruption and degeneration has made the former people's army no longer combat-effective. It has become a hollowed-out decoration.

Voinea sat in the special reception room of the Soviet command, feeling a little panic.

When he got off the helicopter, he was startled by the huge armored force. Although most of them were BMP infantry fighting vehicles, the most surprising thing was the rows of densely packed T55 tanks and the figures of Romanian soldiers.

Could it be that... the Romanian military had already participated in the rebellion?

This terrible idea has been lingering since the moment it formed in his mind.

The closed door was opened, and a guy wearing Soviet camouflage uniforms but not looking like a soldier appeared in his field of vision.

This calm face made him feel familiar, and when he was about to ask, the translator next to him spoke first.

"This is Comrade Vladimir."

"Vladimir? Comrade Lisboa, who has been the Chairman of the Council of Ministers for several years and is expected to become the youngest General Secretary?"

To be honest, the other party's youth made Voinea a little jealous.

"Yes, Mr. Voinea, oh no, maybe after today we should call you the President of Romania."

Vladimir's celebration was just right.

"Don't be so proud so early, I'm just a little curious, when did you turn the Third Motorized Infantry Division of Romania against you?"

Voinea snorted coldly, originally the defender of the southeastern gateway of Romania, the defender of the gateway to the Danube Delta, actually betrayed the motherland openly.

"It's a secret of the KGB, so it's not convenient to talk about it in detail, but we have been planning it for a long time. Otherwise, do you think our airborne division will firmly control the area around Bucharest in a short time? Do you think we will appear here without fear?"

There are enough things that make Voinea dumbfounded, and he wants to figure out the other party's intentions.

"Tell me, what is your purpose?"

"The purpose is very simple. To establish a pro-Soviet regime here. When we have settled everything, we will hand over the Romanian army to you."

Comrade Vladimir approached the other party, stared at the slightly surprised face with interest, and asked, "Are you satisfied with our conditions?" (To be continued.)
