Soviet Union 1991

Yanayev has never overestimated the moral integrity of polar bears, especially during the most difficult period in 1991. Within the Western Army Group, everything from tank parts, antifreeze to artillery shells, and even a T72 or BMP infantry fighting vehicle dared to use 10 The U.S. dollar was sold at a low price, so he was very sure that these poor and crazy guys would sell the poplar at a low price in a rush. This is why he must not doubt the falsehood of the information. All will come to light once the internal affairs review is completed. At that time, the War Department will usher in a wonderful purge.

This was Yanayev's gift to Comrade Vladimir. Only insiders knew the circumstances of this unexpected review, including Vladimir and Varennikov, who just happened to be involved in the conspiracy. And it invisibly promoted the destruction of the die-hards in the army.

Varennikov, who had originally stormed the door angrily, became distraught when he came out. Even the assistant in the general secretary's office was surprised when he saw that scene. He originally thought there would be a non-stop confrontation, but in the end it ended in only ten minutes. All topics. Varennikov was the loser from the start. Yanayev had already prepared the trap that would lead him into the abyss. Just waiting for him to step on it.

Seeing that dull face, the office assistant generally understood something. In the next few days, news that would shock the Moscow political arena would probably leak out, and what would follow would be a complete political turmoil. If there were still competing accusations before, now he actually sympathizes with the marshal in front of him.

After taking down a marshal of the Soviet Communist Party in less than ten minutes, Yanayev almost defeated the others with an unparalleled field control method. Warn them not to act rashly. He could unseat a heavyweight in the army in ten minutes, and he could unseat others in the same short period of time.

It didn't take long for the news of Varennikov's fall from power to spread throughout the Kremlin. The most widely circulated version is that the marshal walked into the General Secretary's room angrily, and when he came out, he was stunned and silent. I quickly handed in my resignation after returning to the War Department.

Then it was Akhromeev who succeeded Varennikov. The old marshal had no complaints about this.

This dazzling change led many people to mistakenly believe that it was the result of Yanayev's intervention to help Vladimir. The young man challenged the veterans with a fearless spirit and finally won. After this incident, basically no one can stop Vladimir's progress.

Akhromeev walked into Varennikov's office, and Project Amata began. So far, important positions in the War Ministry have been occupied by comrades who support Vladimir. As for the group of Army Department officials involved in the arms reselling incident, they were under investigation and had a much harder time than what followed. Old factions will be liquidated.

No one could believe that Varennikov lost so quickly and was defeated like a mountain. It only took Yanayev ten minutes to uproot the veterans of the War Ministry who had deep roots, leaving no one behind.

Only Yanayev buried his head in the pile of documents calmly and occasionally raised his head to look at the forces that were ready to move with gloomy eyes.

With just one look, he could stop everyone's actions.

"Comrade Akhromeev, congratulations on your appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the Army Ministry."

Balaklanov stood in front of Marshal Akhromeev's new office, which reminded him of the previous owner of the office. It's as boring as the layout of this office. "It's a pity that Varennikov thought he could get justice by directly threatening the General Secretary, but he was forced out by Comrade Vladimir. Now there are rumors circulating in Moscow about the Chairman of the Council of Ministers. After he took care of the army, he stepped down. The first step should be to accumulate prestige and successfully succeed the position of general secretary next year. After all, General Secretary Yanayev is the first national leader with a stipulated eight-year term. The entire leadership bureau is paying attention to his next year. What about retirement?”

Balaklanov said to himself meaningfully, "It is precisely because of this that the forces hidden in Moscow are ready to move. If they don't do anything, they will be in trouble. These guys are full of brains. The guys who have drunk vodka cannot expect to play their cards according to their usual ideas. They are likely to take some extreme measures. It is impossible to infiltrate the Military Committee. They can only compete face-to-face with Comrade Vladimir within the Politburo. ”

Akhromeev looked at Balaklanov as if he were a stranger, and finally shook his head helplessly. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. No matter what changes occur in the political situation, he and Dzerzhinsky Divisions are the last defenders of the Red Soviet Union.

"Don't worry, there's no one in Moscow who can beat General Secretary Yanayev. But I'm still surprised that General Secretary Yanayev was able to trip up Valencia for an Armata plan. Nikov, this method is really..."

The ajar door of the office was opened, and Yazov walked in with a frightening sense of oppression, like a giant bear walking alone through the wasteland. The civil servant who was packing up documents saw that cold and majestic face, With a shake of his hand, he scattered all the information on the floor. The leather shoes are imprinted on the snow-white paper, leaving a lonely mark.

He stood with his hands behind his back in front of Balaklanov and Akhromeev, and the smile that originally bloomed on his face slowly faded. He knew that when the other person made this expression, there must be some unknown secret that needed to be reported.

"Balaclanov, you don't have to leave. I don't have anything special to say to Akhromeev. I just accidentally overheard your conversation just now... There are some things I can tell you in private... Yanaye It is impossible for General Secretary Hu to fall out with Varennikov because of Armata, and the marshal will not step down because of the main battle tank incident. "

"What did you say?"

Balaklanov waited and almost squeezed his eyeballs out of their sockets. Akhromeev, who was sitting on his desk, also had a shocked expression on his face. This was definitely the biggest "surprise" or "shock" since his reinstatement. He almost took out a small stainless steel can from his coat pocket and poured a few gallons of vodka into his mouth to suppress his shock.

"There are far more secrets in the Kremlin than everyone here knows. Varennikov's resignation is a sign of guilt and a serious dereliction of duty. So let this matter settle."

Azov thought it over carefully in his mind, and when he confirmed that he had nothing to say, he was about to turn around and go out. The moment he was about to step out of the door with his black leather shoes, he paused, as if he thought of something. He looked back at the two of them meaningfully.

"By the way, General Secretary Yanayev knows far more secrets than we imagined. Who he wants to step down is just a matter of words. We have all made major mistakes more or less, maybe It’s just accidental, and even we don’t know where the mistakes are, but all the mistakes are secretly recorded on paper or in the minds of some people.”

Azov pointed to his head and forced a smile.

"I trust anyone to make the right choice."

Then he turned around and walked out without hesitation, leaving Balaklanov and Akhromeev looking at each other.

The Deputy Minister of Defense slapped his head in annoyance. Under Azov's kind words, he suddenly understood a lot of things, "If this is true... the current General Secretary Yanayev, right The strength of power has reached an unparalleled level. Varennikov's downfall was not accidental...I am afraid that the General Secretary had anticipated this scene many years ago, huh, they all lost. "

Balaklanov muttered a lot of words to himself that Akhromeev could not understand. Finally, he turned around with helplessness written on his expression. He said to Balaklanov, "Just like Comrade Yazov said, never try to betray Comrade General Secretary. Especially you, Marshal Akhromeev, your identity is even more embarrassing. Soldiers are involved in In political struggles, it is a taboo in every leader’s heart to play the role of the final defender of the party.”

At this point, Balaklanov's lips turned white. Perhaps he had unintentionally glimpsed the appearance of the abyssal beast, recalling the blood-red eyes and a row of sharp saw teeth with lingering fear.

"He is far more terrifying than we imagined. Everything we do is within the plan of the other party..."

After leaving the Army Staff, Yazov met Vladimir in the corridor. Looking at the direction the other party was heading, he understood what the other party wanted to do in an instant. He pointed his finger behind him and said, "You don't have to go. Yanayev has told them everything I need to say. I think they are overturned now. Congratulations, Chairman of the Council of Ministers, for winning Akhromeev and Balaklanov’s loyalty.”

Vladimir stopped. Today's busy schedule had prevented him from closing his eyes for several days. After hearing Yazov's words, he almost fell to the ground with weak legs, and then squeezed out a tired smile. He also stretched out his left hand and took the other hand that the other person extended.

"Then thank Minister Yazov first. I will tell him about General Secretary Yanayev. Also, regarding the matter of Marshal Varennikov, General Secretary Yanayev is really here Can you take care of him in ten minutes?"

This has become a secret that everyone is secretly exploring. Everyone wants to know what secrets the two sides said inside the closed door of the general secretary's office that day.

Azov smiled and shook his head. Vladimir was still very young. Compared with some old and cunning guys, he was like a young boy who just came out of the recruit company. But I really don’t blame him. If Yanayev hadn’t been the driving force behind it, he might have just reached the level of deputy director, not to mention arguing with a group of major generals on crisis issues within the military committee. As a front-line commander, he often in front of the media and reporters.

Although he didn't know why the General Secretary valued Vladimir so much, he could only respect the General Secretary's choice. After all, he at least had a thorough understanding of the issue of successor.

Yazov explained, "Yanayev did not target Marshal Varennikov. Even in his eyes, if he really wanted to take action, Varennikov would just win in an instant. Everyone thought it was Because of Amata, the truth you can actually see is just the tip of a huge iceberg."

"What?"

Vladimir stopped and glanced around, confirming that no one could hear their conversation before asking in a low voice, "Does Minister Azov know any secrets? Regarding Varennikov and this sudden The Secret of Resignation Change.”

"have no idea."

Yazov simply pretended to be deaf and dumb. There are some things that are harmful if others know too much about them.

"But I am very responsible to tell you that Varennikov stepped down within ten minutes not because of Armata's problem, but a more serious problem. Otherwise, it would be no less difficult to bring down a field marshal than Winning the Battle of Stalingrad was still difficult under the leadership of Tukhachevsky. General Secretary Yanayev was involved in more hidden and serious problems. Do you all think that the Supervisory Committee's raid on the Army Ministry was the result of the factional struggle between the two sides? In fact, it was the General Secretary who used this struggle to achieve some ulterior motives after Varennikov lost power. Marshal Khromeyev’s re-release further confirms my view that other reasons are what led to the nightmare ending.”

"By the way, what does General Secretary Yanayev want to do?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the general secretary's next move should be on the oil issue."

Vladimir raised his head and answered the other party slowly and logically, "The opposition was General Secretary Yanayev's biggest obstacle in energy diplomacy before. They believed that cooperation with China and Japan would lead to the Soviet energy market being monopolized by others. …”

Azov stopped. He did not expect that the other party would make such ridiculous remarks. At the same time, he also understood why the Far East development plan began to slow down. Yanayev believed that trying to use one billion US dollars to improve and build the social foundation of the Far East would become a good consideration for attracting investment and development from other countries.

"I completely agree with General Secretary Yanayev's approach. If nothing is done, oil will only be in their own hands. At least those countries that are clamoring for price cuts have already been planning everything else. If the Soviet Union cannot continue to maintain As a major oil country, its fate is not much better than that of some self-proclaimed old capitalist countries.”

Vladimir's fanatical admiration for Yanayev and his awe for the absolute leader are deeply engraved in his memory and lingering.

"So I agree, send them to hell." (To be continued.)
