USSR 1991

He accused the other party angrily, "If we lose power, your life will not be much better. We are in the same boat. Without conservatives, you will have no good end! Just wait, Yanayev There is no mercy in the eradication of traitors."

After a long silence, a reply came from the other end of the phone, "No, I didn't betray you. They gave Ukraine a decent chance to withdraw from this war. If it continues to stir up trouble, not only me, but the entire Ukrainian government will Renewal, as you said, General Secretary Yanayev is absolutely merciless when he strikes. I don’t plan to be in the same boat as you, I have changed a camp.”

Secherbitski's refusal was as decisive as him. Now even Ukraine is not optimistic about their future, and the conservatives will be even more difficult.

Speaking of ruthlessness, Lubyanov thought of those dead opponents. From Ukraine to the Baltic Sea to Chechnya, those who died in the struggle with Yanayev were enough to fill the Red Square.

He didn't want to be a pinch of loess under the high throne.

Thinking of this, Lubyanov felt a sense of panic on his back, as if a pair of sinister eyes were watching him from behind, showing sharp fangs when he was not paying attention.Fear spread in the heart deep in his chest, slowly grasping his neck steadily.

"Comrade Lukyanov? Are you all right?"

The sudden voice interrupted the organization minister's contemplation. The Mediterranean hairstyle raised his head, and the face that he hated and hated was appearing in front of him. He couldn't express his dissatisfaction. At this time, the conservatives and Yanayev has not yet broken skins. Although the two sides are in a state of incongruity, there is still a minimum of cooperation.

He smiled and looked at Yanayev, "Ah, I'm here, what did General Secretary Yanayev just say?"

Yanayev, who was sitting directly opposite, smiled, and said indifferently, "I mean, I rarely chat with you in the office, basically I meet you at important conference speeches, for the organization department things, so here today, I have only one purpose."

"I want to know what your intentions are?"

Lukyanov frowned, pretending not to understand what Yanayev was saying.

"Heh, you don't need to look confused. It's just me and you here today. In fact, Sechelbitski was transferred to Moldova as the deputy secretary instead of directly being tried by the people's court. You can guess the reason Bar?"

Lukyanov asked in a low voice, "Because he made a deal with you?"

As soon as he finished saying this, he regretted it, obviously he shouldn't have said anything about Ukraine at this time.It seemed he had nothing to do with it.

Yanayev also told the other party the news without hesitation, "Yes, we made a deal with us. He said a name, so we let him go. It's that simple, the name he said He is the mastermind behind the scenes, and everything that happened in Ukraine is closely related to him. All the blame was even put on that person, so we let him go, and that's all."

The corner of Lukyanov's mouth twitched, and he said slowly, "So... who is the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"The mastermind..."

Yanayev paused for a while, pretending to be mysterious, "It's just..."

Chapter 954 Sublime Faith

"...It's a secret."

Yanayev's mystification made Lukyanov very unhappy. He could conclude that the other party knew something, but he didn't speak for a certain purpose.So I further asked the other party, "This is not the answer I want to know. What did General Secretary Yanayev and Secherbitsky say? Who is that name? These are all important, so I hope the general secretary can give come up with a satisfactory answer."

Yanayev stared at the other party with a strange look, and asked, "Why are you so curious about this secret, Comrade Lukyanov, I remember that you have no relationship with Ukraine, right?"

Lukyanov was stunned, and only then did he realize that Yanayev actually dug a trap for him to jump into. Everything was fake, and those words just now were just for his attitude.Now, in turn, I don't know how to answer the other party's question.

"I... I think this matter may affect the future fate of Moscow..."

Lukyanov was at a loss for words for a while, not knowing how to refute the other party's words.

However, Yanayev didn't seem to want to delve further into this issue. He was not interested in the small movements of the flies behind his back. Even if Lukyanov was speechless, he finally waved his hand and told him to leave. .

"Our conversation is over, Comrade Lukyanov. Oh, the 'attempt' I asked about before, you just pretend I didn't ask about it. After all, there are some secrets that should not be known by too many people."

"..."

The more Yanayev tried to confuse, he hesitated to speak.The more he felt scared and panicked, Sechelbitski had given him the last "advice" before, either stop the small moves behind his back, or he had already weighed his own fate.Apparently the time had come for his decision to be given.

Lukyanov of the fly got up and was about to say goodbye to Yanayev, but the words the other party said suddenly made him stop in his tracks.Yanayev still maintained his slow and methodical smoking action, as if what he said had nothing to do with him.

"If you don't stop, many people will die. This is not an advice, but a notice. I have seen too much blood and death in the past eight years. There are many old friends and friends lying on the tombstone of the New Saintess Cemetery. I don't want to One more tombstone is added, you can either exit quietly, or... have a grand burial."

The pupils shrank suddenly, and Lukyanov clenched his fists. He could feel the fine sweat on his palms, and he was directly pulled into...

He felt that this office was a cage. They seemed to be proud, but they were actually controlled by an invisible hand, and they couldn't escape at all.Lukyanov suddenly remembered what Yanayev said a long time ago.

"After all, a fighter with flaws is a fighter after all, and a perfect fly is just a fly."

They are flies in a cage.

There is nowhere to run.

Lukyanov left the Kremlin in a daze, and Yanayev looked at his frightened background with a half-smile, and shook off the fiery red spot between his hands, and the soot fell down on the red spot along his fingertips. on the carpet, and was trampled down by leather shoes.

It's like stepping on a smug bug.

Valery, the director of the general secretary's office, walked in after Lukyanov left the office. He turned his head and looked at the corridor where Lukyanov disappeared, and said slowly, "It seems to have succeeded? Just now I saw the head of the organization who was in a daze. It looks like a lost dog with nowhere to escape, tsk tsk. I thought Lukyanov was capable, but in the end it was nothing more than that." Yanayev breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some lingering fear, " If Pavlov is on their side, I will feel a headache. Fortunately, the old comrades are quite high-minded and unwilling to get involved in this muddy water. The following people can't make much trouble .”

Yanayev nodded, "They have already begun to realize that they have nowhere to go."

An invisible net was rushing towards Lukyanov, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get rid of the shackles.

"Comrade Valery, any trouble in the Kremlin will not escape your eyes. Lukyanov is already frightened now. He needs someone who can cooperate with the inside and outside. Monitor my every move in the Kremlin, you In the Kremlin, I feel at ease."

Yanayev has already noticed that some people around him are likely to collude with conservatives, but he still doesn't know where the fish is, and once it is caught, it will be wiped out immediately.

Since he came here in 1991, he has been calm and joyful. No matter what order the general secretary gives, he will faithfully carry it out. "I see, General Secretary Yanayev. I will handle the rest. .”

"Thank you for your hard work. I will go to the Black Sea Villa for a week of vacation in April, so I hope you can control the situation."

Valery's eyes lit up, and he seemed to realize what General Secretary Yanayev was thinking, and asked tentatively, "The general secretary said that he intentionally created a loophole, and then led the snake out of the hole?"

"You have always been very smart, that's why, except for Comrade Vladimir, I will hand over this place to you, and let you make the layout. If I am not there, their pressure will be gone, and those people will be more easily attacked. lure out."

"There are many snakes, not just one. Those potential interest groups who try to sabotage our great construction, those potential interest groups who are out of self-interest and disregarding the interests of the people, are the targets of attack. Only by eradicating them one by one can the bloated giant regain its strength. To gain a new life, the ossified constitution accumulated from Comrade Stalin has not been completely eradicated, and this is destined to be a long and arduous process.”

Valery nodded. He understood Yanayev's plan, and the link he made was probably part of the overall layout, and there were more plans that were carried out in secret, and he had no chance to know about it. .The deeper you understand, the more you will feel that Yanayev is an impenetrable fog.

A great patriot.Sinister schemer, accursed communist.

There are also ordinary men who have taken off the cloak of power.

"No problem, I will take charge of the arrangements. But we don't necessarily guarantee that they will act..."

"Set up a good game, they will always take the bait, the water has been muddied, and they will soon be unable to hold back and jump out."

Yanayev turned around and suddenly said to Valery, "Sometimes, do people think I'm stupid?"

"Ok?"

Valery didn't expect the general secretary to say this suddenly, and he froze in place for a moment, not knowing how to answer the other party.

Yanayev shook his head mockingly, and said, "Not only you, but many people who have come from that era will have the same empathy. After overthrowing Gorbachev and Yeltsin and other careerists in sheep's clothing, now Another group of diehards who don’t want to make progress will be beaten. How many people in the party are willing to follow me after fighting to the end?”

"General Secretary..."

Yanayev did not stop, and continued talking on his own.
