USSR 1991

It seems that the general secretary should have other plans in the near future, and Far East's actions are far less simple than he imagined.With such efforts to develop the defensive Far East, is it to create an economic center again?If we talk about cooperating with countries in the Asia-Pacific region, it is indeed the best choice.

"Forget it, let's save these questions to the general secretary when he comes back. It should be time to take a good rest now."

Thinking of this, Pavlov was about to wash up in the bathroom with a bath towel, but the sudden knock on the door startled Pavlov, he stood up, sorted his clothes, walked to the door, looked out through the peephole, just in time I saw Lukyanov standing at the door, looking around.

"Comrade Pavlov, it's me."

Lukyanov looked around while talking, stretched out his hand and pressed the doorbell.

Pavlov opened the door and pulled him in.The other party's face was a little ugly, and he said coldly, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you that we don't want to contact you in private?"

Lukyanov took off his leather shoes and said, "Of course I know. If it weren't for the change in the situation, I wouldn't be here. Doesn't Comrade Pavlov welcome me in and sit down?"

Pavlov stepped aside helplessly, "Let's talk first."

After speaking, he turned and walked to the wine cabinet, uncorked a bottle of vodka, took two goblets and filled them with the colorless alcohol that Russians are crazy about.Then he walked up to Lukyanov, handed the vodka to him, and shook it.

"Have a drink?"

"No."

Seeing the other party's simple and clear rejection of himself, Pavlov also realized that something difficult might have happened. He asked, "What's the matter? I have never seen such a serious expression on your face. My Central Organization of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Minister of the Ministry. You have the power to appoint people in this country, is there anyone you can't handle?"

"Of course there is one, our dear Comrade General Secretary."

Originally, he wanted to drink the pure brew in the glass, but after hearing this sentence, Pavlov's movements stopped again.He looked at the other party with a strange look, but there was some kind of anger in his tone. He said slowly, "What do you want to do? I finally reached an agreement. Don't you want to mess around?"

"We don't want to mess around. I don't care about the matter of Luzhkov and Anatoly, but according to the replies from Tidjakov and Secherbytsky, General Secretary Yanayev is wary of Ukraine. idea, and the action of that idea is to crush conservatives in Ukraine."

Pavlov raised his head, looked at the other party with a smile that was not a smile, and said slowly, "Even Ukrainian First Secretary Secherbytsky has become yours, it seems that your infiltration work is very good. Not bad. Could it be that after stepping down from the position of Chairman of the Supreme Soviet Presidium, Minister Lukyanov, do you still have greater ambitions?"

After Yanayev’s complete coup, he immediately transferred Lukyanov’s position, from the Minister of Administration and the Supreme General Secretary of the Soviet to the real power position of Minister of Organization, and removed Gorbachio from this position. Husband faction candidates.

This is a reward for reciprocating the favor.

Minister Lukyanov said bitterly, "No, but he wants to attack Ukraine, which is something we cannot tolerate. He can handle our Comrade Varennikov in 10 minutes, don't you think we won't do it? , can Ukraine keep it?"

Pavlov did not answer the other party's question, he just looked at Lukyanov slowly and put the wine on the glass.

"Oh, I thought that the Smolensk people only cared about their own hometown. I didn't expect that even Ukraine would be included in your calculations. That's right, Secherbitsky was a conservative before he was removed from power by Gorbachev At that time, General Secretary Yanayev was busy dealing with international pressure, and he never thought that his dear comrades would make small moves behind the scenes and quietly form a small internal group. Tsk tsk tsk, this is to rest assured that you will trust your back Is your comrade going to end?"

"..."

"Please don't represent me in your case. So far I haven't seen any way to destroy the Ukrainian conservative position, but if you want to win power, I think you are going in the wrong direction."

Pavlov raised his legs, and he directly blocked all the thoughts the other party wanted to say next.

Lukyanov stopped. He originally thought that Prime Minister Pavlov should be the most persuasive, but he didn't expect the other party to reject him without thinking.

Prime Minister Pavlov said in a cold voice, "Comrade Shenin was replaced by the younger Surkov as the secretary of the secretariat. There has already been a rift between you and the general secretary. At that time, the external environment was bad, and you were facing The civil war in Chechnya and other messy situations did not make much change in the end. Now that the general secretary has reversed the disadvantages in the late 80s and successfully tore apart the encirclement in Romania, you feel that the time is ripe and you are ready to push the other side out of power ? This is a clever move to seize the fruits of the revolution. Perhaps others have not realized that this group of people seems to be in a stable rear, but in fact they have been brewing ulterior plots."

"How can you be so shameless! He is the leader who saved the country!"

Pavlov suddenly raised his voice. In recent years, he has been supporting domestic stability, economic development and reform of the political framework in order to break through the deadlock.It also serves as a mediator between radical reformers and conservatives to ease the contradictions between the two parties.

Originally, he thought that the contradiction had been resolved, but now it seems that his vision is not enough.Contradictions are only temporarily suppressed. Under the current situation of foreign enemies, various factions are huddling together to keep warm. Once the crisis is over, some guys who are ready to move are ready to take action.

Lukyanov's remarks are not only his own, but also an interest group behind it.Pavlov knew who it was, but he didn't want to pierce the paper.

An awkward silence followed the angry accusations.

"The general secretary said that the term of office is eight years... which means that he will step down next year. Do you know what that means?"

Lukyanov asked suddenly, "He used Minister of Internal Affairs Pugo as a gunman to get rid of Anatoly and Luzhkov. You don't remember that. Everyone was surprised by Luzhkov's death. He was very powerful. The mayor of Moscow committed suicide in such an understatement. Do you think we don't know what he is thinking? He is step by step to eradicate the power of our conservatives, and for young people such as Vladimir and Surkov Pave the way!"

Lukyanov stood up uncontrollably, and he almost grabbed Pavlov by the collar to let him see the bloody fact clearly.No kidding, Pavlov was supposed to be on the side of the conservatives, and after Gorbachev's death, the conservatives ushered in a spring of real development and growth.

But they were afraid, afraid of the silent figure standing in the shadow of the office.

Lukyanov's voice was piercing.

"He wasn't the only one who stepped down in 1999."

With a bang, the goblet was thrown on the floor, and it was instantly shattered, leaving only sharp and sharp fragments. Accompanied by the scream of the head of the organization department, it ruthlessly pierced a fact.

"Maybe I will also add the heroes who came over from the August [-] incident!"

"He wants us to bury him with him!"

Chapter 936 It's a pity, the general secretary

"The eight years he said meant pulling all the bureaucrats of the old Soviet Union into the coffin with him! He meant letting us colleagues who were involved in the August [-] coup d'etat go down with him! He was preparing to create a new political era! You Understand what I mean? I admit that his political views are correct, but everything he does will sacrifice our interests to complete the blueprint of his own vision! We are not willing to accept this sacrifice! We do not want to be buried with him ! We just want to protect our own interests!"

Lukyanov leaned on the sofa, and the anger just now vented all the anger in his chest, and he gasped heavily to calm himself down.

Pavlov froze.He remembered what Ogarkov's deputy, Makhmut Akhmatovich Galeyev, had said in his commemorative text, "If personal interests are not considered, everyone will raise their hands in favor of reform. Considering personal interests, everyone will unanimously oppose reform."

Conservatives are all considering their own gains and losses, and they are full of fear of Yanayev's reforms.In the August [-]th coup, in addition to keeping everything the martyrs had fought for, it was more about keeping their jobs.The top leaders of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union are also human beings, and they also have their own interests and selfishness. They couldn't bear their power being weakened step by step by Yanayev, and were finally killed on the beach by the sweeping waves.

Hearing this sentence, Pavlov finally couldn't hold back his anger. At this time, they were still thinking about it, and Pavlov really couldn't stand it.

The sudden outburst of emotion startled Lukyanov.

"Shut up, head of the Organization Department, so what are you talking about? You are going to only a part of the power, but what else does the general secretary have? He has nothing but the position of the general secretary! The 1990 He lost two daughters in that disaster, Svetlana and Maria. What do you know, he gave it all to this country! Seize power! Squeeze out! Is this how you treat a hero who saved the Soviets?"

Anger enveloped the entire living room, and Pavlov felt a pain in his chest from the roar just now. Although he thought that the general secretary had gone too far in certain things, his purpose was to make the country prosperous.You can call him ruthless, dictatorial, and unreasonable, and the organization calculates to achieve the goal, but you can't call him a traitor.

Pavlov sat on the ground somewhat dejectedly. Lukyanov wanted to pull him up, but he waved his hand to reject the other party's kindness. He stared at the debris on the ground and said slowly, "You can't do this, he will spend his whole life Dedicated to this country..."

Lukyanov withdrew his outstretched hand. He looked a little hesitant, but he still insisted on his own thoughts, "I know Comrade Pavlov's position, but there has been no turning point on this matter. Yanayev If we want to reform, it will inevitably affect the current political framework, and we cannot let the reformists step on our heads. The Politburo was created by the veterans of the central government. We must keep it no matter what!"

"Gorbachev's reforms almost destroyed the Soviet Union. We cannot allow the events of 1991 to repeat the same mistakes and allow General Secretary Yanayev to destroy the entire interest group."

It seems that today should be nothing, Lukyanov got up to leave, there is nothing to talk about between him and Pavlov.

"Comrade Pavlov won't tell the story of our conversation?"

Before leaving, the head of the organization department paused. He turned his head and looked at the old figure sitting in the living room, feeling a little unbearable.Originally, he was supposed to be the backbone of the conservatives, but he did not expect that in the end he was only willing to mediate the relationship between the reformers and the conservatives, acting as a middleman.

Everyone has compassion and sympathy for Pavlov, but this does not mean that they will not kill them when the other party threatens their own interests.

This is politics, you can commit crimes, but you must never make mistakes.

"You can't stop the general secretary."

When he was about to walk out of the entrance, the figure behind him suddenly said, "He doesn't even look down on the think tank of the White House. You are not their opponents at all. Give up, Comrade Lukyanov. At least the conservatives can still hold their ground, but If you really want to attack the general secretary, there is no turning back."

Lukyanov didn't speak, he turned and went out to leave Pavlov's villa.
