USSR 1991

The quiet conference room exploded in an instant. Some people looked at the two of them gloatingly, and more people still held sympathetic eyes, looking at them with an expression of "you are going to chat with Satan from the Ministry of Internal Affairs".

"Chairman Vladimir, what's going on? The information must be forged, someone wants to frame us!"

"Yes, it must be a political conspiracy by some people with ulterior motives. Don't be fooled!"

The two anxiously expressed their loyalty to the chairman of the Council of Ministers, but were ruthlessly refuted by the other party.

"Shut up, are you doubting the authenticity of these data?"

The chairman of the Council of Ministers angrily reprimanded him in front of everyone, "The supervisory committee has been investigating for a long time. Not only you, but also other people's criminal evidence are here. As for the specific figures, I won't say them here again. , you will enjoy the incriminating evidence in tomorrow's Moscow papers."

Evidence of other people... Those who were not clean at first felt a little flustered.The "Comrade Beria" on the stage did not know how many little secrets they had kept secret.

The malicious little joke annoyed Lukyanov thoroughly, and the chair fell to the ground with a snap.The chairman of the Council of Ministers raised his head, just in time to meet those bloodshot angry eyes, and Lukyanov's whole face was annoyed with a sauce-purple color because he was too excited.

"Comrade Vladimir, what on earth are you trying to do! Is this meeting of ministers fighting against dissidents or sitting down to discuss issues! If it is the former, I warn you not to go too far! The meeting of ministers is not a place where some people come to make small moves !"

Vladimir still had a flat expression. He looked around and found that there were quite a few people who were as angry as Lukyanov's eyes.They are more or less looking at him.His youth does not mean that he is inexperienced. Vladimir asked coldly, "What capacity are you talking to me now? Comrade Lukyanov, the head of the Organization Department, or as a judicial obstructer?"

Lukyanov was at a loss for words for a moment, he did not expect such a rebuttal.

"These criminal evidences are absolutely true and undeniable. They may not admit their crimes, but before the judge, this is their irrefutable fact! You can stop it if you want, I don't care, but you have to understand One thing, this is against the Soviet Constitution! Against the people of this country!"

The righteous condemnation made Lukyanov speechless in his rebuttal. He opened his mouth, but finally swallowed the sentence against the Soviet.

In the end, the conference room became silent, and the first confrontation broke out between the angry Lukyanov and the firm-eyed Comrade Vladimir.

The fuse has been lit.

He clenched his fists, didn't mind those hateful gazes, and replied word by word, "It's not up to you, the head of the Organization Department, to dictate who the chairman of the ministerial council wants to arrest!"

Chapter 959 Wait for me!

"Have you finished speaking? When you finish speaking, people from the supervision department will come in."

Comrade Vladimir's answer was gentle, but revealed a cold tone, "I don't think anyone will have any doubts about the evidence in this document. The evidence of corruption and bribery of Comrade Kirienko and Ugail is unmistakable. These matters should not be the responsibility of me, the chairman of the Council of Ministers, and will be handed over to the Supervisory Committee. As for whether you have committed any crimes, they will make a final judgment on you."

After passing through the gate of the supervisory committee, the two unlucky ones had no hope of surviving.At this time, he still wanted to turn his eyes to Lukyanov for help, but the other party was unmoved.It's hard for Kiriyenko to believe that under such circumstances, Lukyanov didn't stop him.He believes that under the pressure of conservatives, it is impossible for the investigators of the supervisory committee to take anyone away from here.

A drop of cold sweat fell to the ground along Lukyanov's pen tip, his face was pale, not because he didn't want to stop it, but because he couldn't stop it.There is still a bigger game of chess waiting for Vladimir and Yanayev, and the initial plan cannot be messed up because of Kiriyenko and Ugail.Be patient, just wait until the right time, after Yanayev is pulled down, Kirienko and Wugail will naturally come out safe and sound.

Vladimir is also betting on whether the opponent will tear himself apart.Lukyanov, who stood opposite him, remained motionless like a statue.

"I don't intend to stop you, right? Well, colleagues from the Supervisory Committee can come in. No one will hinder you in whatever you want to do."

Vladimir clapped his hands, and the door was opened.When some people saw the investigators walking in, they began to fidget and look around. To be honest, few of the people sitting here had clean backgrounds. They were afraid that the devils from the Supervisory Committee would come and pat them on the shoulders and pronounce the sentence. He said like a death sentence, "Comrade, please come with me."

They were all greeted by Vladimir, so they controlled Kirienko and Ugail without saying a word, and pulled them towards the direction outside the door.Just like what Vladimir said, he didn't care about other people at all, which also made those guys who survived the disaster lean on their chairs and almost had a heart attack.

"Comrade Lukyanov, this is a frame-up against us, we didn't... don't pull me, let me go!"

Kiriyenko cried out in despair, wanting to break free from their control, he firmly grasped his shoulders with both hands, unable to struggle at all.Some looked at the motionless Lukyanov with disappointment in their eyes.

After the shouting in the hallway subsided again, Vladimir looked around and asked, "Okay, does anyone have any other questions now? If not, let's continue the meeting?" "

This tactic of killing chickens and monkeys has made others afraid to speak again. I am afraid that this is an open break between the young and conservative. Vladimir took Kiriyenko and Ugail to provoke Lukyanov.They won't let conservatives go any further.

No one wanted to hear what Vladimir said in his speech. The other ministers were all out of their minds. The tragedy of Kirienko and Ugail being dragged down is still vivid in their minds. After experiencing this doomsday After the meeting, they no longer dared to underestimate the middle-aged man sitting in the protagonist's position, whose qualifications and age are not as good as theirs.

After the meeting, they left the Kremlin as quickly as if they were fleeing from a disaster. Maybe they would open a bottle of vodka to celebrate when they go back tonight. They really should celebrate.

Lukyanov stayed as expected, and there was one last silent conversation between him and Vladimir.He rubbed his tired eyes, and said word by word, "Comrade Yanayev, is this ready to declare war? Remove Luzhkov, I think the conservatives can tolerate his suppression, but Kiriyenko And Ugail stepped down, are you going to come and die? For the sake of the organization, it is not good for anyone to tear the face first, but it will drag the country into the abyss. Civil war is cheap. America, not us."

Vladimir put his chin in his hands and listened quietly to the other party's speech. After listening to this awe-inspiring exposition, he frowned and said, "I know what you want to do, Comrade Lukyanov. It's a pity that Ki Comrades Lienko and Ugail, they should have been able to go farther. But since they chose to stand on your side, they have to bear the corresponding risks. Comrade Yanayev has already spoken, in his Black Sea villa Before the vacation is over, I hope you can surrender your power. He doesn't want to see the final scene of life and death."

Black Sea vacation ends...

Lukyanov sneered, the aloof general secretary didn't understand yet, they didn't plan to negotiate properly at all, but took the most direct way to end his rule.Yanayev's final journey was Villa Foros, both the beginning and the end of everything that happened in 1991.

Soon, Yanayev, who thought he was in control of everything, would end up like Khrushchev. When he was on vacation in the Black Sea, Brezhnev informed Khrushchev to attend the meeting of the Central Committee Presidium and read all his The charges forced him to resign.On the same day that Khrushchev and Mikoyan flew back to Moscow, a meeting of the Presidium of the Central Committee was held in the Kremlin.The National Security Council headed by Semichasny immediately replaced the guards outside Khrushchev's conference rooms, apartments and dachas.

Criticism and condemnation flooded Khrushchev at meetings of the Bureau of the Central Committee.He tried to refute and defend, but no one listened to him, and he was interrupted by other people's impassioned speeches as soon as he opened his mouth.Finally, the next day, I couldn't stand it any longer and announced my resignation.

Lukyanov’s method was exactly the same as Podgorny’s. He even had spies from the Presidential Security Bureau planning this matter. Every move in the Foros villa would not escape his eyes, and the most important thing was the enemy in front of him.

Following the example of convening a meeting of the Presidium of the Central Committee, directly killing Vladimir in the meeting, after the death of the Council of Ministers, no one can reduce the political status of the conservatives.

"I will consider what General Secretary Yanayev said."

In order to win the final victory, we have to take temporary patience and concessions. "Before Yanayev returns, the conservatives will give him a satisfactory answer."

"Let him wait for me."

9 The Countdown to Chapter Sixty Begins

When Moscow entered the dead of night, the whole city was silent in a quiet atmosphere.

Many people have fallen on the bed and entered the dreamland, leaving only a group of conspirators ready to move, carrying out some shady secrets under the cover of night.

Moths attracted by the flames lingered around the dim chandelier hanging above the head, and the cramped apartment was full of papers and photos. No one would have thought that two high-ranking Moscow leaders would appear in this apartment to discuss something. Some dark secrets.

Smoking a cigarette, Gneralov unfolded a huge building structure diagram on the desktop. He marked several important locations on the map with a pen, turned around and said to Comrade Lukyanov behind him with a cigarette in his mouth, "Foros Villa has already arranged our people in some important positions. Once you take action, we will cut off the internal power supply of the villa, and then strictly control Yanayev in his bedroom. Come in and out, our people will turn the Foros Villa into an airtight temporary prison until you complete the plan in Moscow. You will not tell him the bad news. But you must remind you that there are stationed near the Foros Villa The strength of two divisions, and a Black Sea Fleet. So you should understand what I mean. The time is very short, and we can solve all the troubles in one night at the latest, otherwise we are likely to face a an army."

Lukyanov waved his fingers, thinking about the feasibility of Generalov's plan, and finally asked, "Can we arrange more manpower? I think the KGB leadership may be slightly short of manpower."

"I can't."

Gneyralov flicked the pen and dropped it directly on the map.He threw the cigarette butt in his mouth into the ashtray, turned his head and said to Lukyanov, "In addition to the normal arrangements, I mobilized a special operations team in Alpha to ensure the success of the plan. This is almost It is everyone I can mobilize. If you want more people, you must go through official procedures, so that it is easy to be detected. Our coup is not about the number of people, but about the speed of action. As long as we can If the coup d'état in Moscow is ended in a certain way, the pressure hanging over the Foros villa will naturally dissipate."

Gnieralov and Lukyanov have been planning for almost a year, and there are also backup plans such as assassinating the general secretary, including poisoning and causing plane crashes, but without exception, they are all because of the strict defense of the Vladimir team. was rejected.

Lukyanov went to the window and opened a small shutter, from which he could just see the red star on the Kremlin dome.This apartment was rented out by Gnieralov a few years ago, and anti-reconnaissance treatment was carried out. No one thought that just near the Red Square, an ordinary small apartment would become a base for planning a coup d'etat.

The gray walls are covered with photos of Vladimir's appearances on various occasions, as well as his recent meeting schedule. They have recorded some key data very carefully, and are fully prepared for the next coup.The windows were sealed, and only a fluorescent lamp illuminated the dimly lit room.

"Pull down the shutters, Comrade Lukyanov. Now we can only assume that there are enemies lurking outside, and that they are aware of the next move, if you don't want to be detected by the KGB agents outside. Be careful with everything. Go wrong. One step and it's all lost. I don't want to hear you babbling about why you failed while exiled to Siberia."

Gnieralov pinned Yanayev's photo on the wall. He looked at this man with a peaceful smile, but felt a strange sense of fear in his heart.He is afraid of the pressure brought by the other party, lingering around him like a lingering red ghost, always reminding himself that there is a pair of invisible eyes staring at him in the dark.

With the Kremlin as the center, countless spider silks continue to spread and weave throughout Moscow, and finally become a dense intelligence network, and any disturbance cannot hide from the keen eyes in the office.He turned the Kremlin into a spider's lair for those who betrayed the Soviet prey.

"After Yanayev arrives at the Black Sea villa, we will immediately hold an emergency meeting and let him attend without Vladimir noticing. The meeting place is full of our agents. Once he appears, we will immediately Control... In this way, even if Moscow is controlled by a few divisions, they are already exhausted, and it is impossible to make waves again."

Conservatives are not rootless. When the army realizes that the young men are no longer able to fight back, they will naturally stand on the conservative side. Anyway, the army has no losses in the coup. Whoever holds power will obey the Politburo leadership.

Lukyanov is very satisfied with his plan so far. Apart from the urgency of time, this is the most powerful counterattack against Yanayev. After the news came from the Foros holiday villa, Vladimir had died in an accident The way the funeral was held.

He certainly did not expect that the empire he built would be crushed by his allies in one fell swoop.Not to mention that the successors he had cultivated so hard would fall one by one after his power was cut.
