USSR 1991

The smile on Yanayev's face froze.

He scratched his head, not knowing how to answer the question.

"Or did Yanayev never trust these people since the August [-]th coup? He has always been on guard against them?"

Yanayev didn't seem angry when others exposed the secret, but explained with some relief, "You still know."

"I just realized that too."

Even if Vladimir knows, it doesn’t matter. He originally came from the distant future, and he has also studied the political struggles in the Soviet Union very thoroughly. Standing on the "shoulders of giants" to look at the problem, the purpose and means of the conservatives are also the same. It looks much the same.It can only be said that Yanayev's vision has surpassed their era, so Vladimir was amazed by the general secretary's long-term vision.

Aside from these factors, as a person of the same era, he may not be able to see longer than others.

Yanayev replied very frankly, "Yes, the August [-]th coup, except for me, everyone else was basically single-handedly promoted by Comrade Gorbachev, even if they were united because of internal and external troubles at the beginning. , but over time internal contradictions will erupt collectively, especially in the absence of external aggression, there is bound to be a fierce conflict between reformists and conservatives. If it is eased, I am afraid that you will not be able to suppress it after I step down Those senior figures. After all, in terms of seniority, you are not ranked high. In fact, I had anticipated this scene five or six years ago. Although I always wanted to avoid it, it happened in the end... One, I would choose this country."

After so many years, they finally parted ways because of interests.

Yanayev narrowed his eyes, all this is the end of fate.Don't blame yourself for being merciless since they chose the exact opposite path.

"Since they are destined to go on the road, let me personally send them off on the last journey."

"In fact, we are all old people who do not conform to this era. Comrade Lukyanov will go first, and I will follow later."

Chapter 964 An April Fool's Joke

Yanayev officially embarked on a special plane to Foros Holiday Villa in the Black Sea. Before leaving, he took a look at the magnificent palace behind him. The red brick walls looked beautiful under the setting sun, and the Moskva River was still quiet. Flowing quietly, shuttling through this quiet ancient city.The poetic soul essence of Gogol and Pushkin has long since aged in the cemetery, and the rotting coffins buried deep in the graveyard emit the same disgusting stench as this red palace.

Those undercurrents of traitors extended their greedy claws to the supreme seat of power, trying to pull the captain who guided the old warship forward from the command room and change the flag into their own colors.

The general secretary just stood there quietly without speaking.

Watching their every move with cold eyes.

Next, he no longer needed to think about other issues, the script had already been arranged, and the people on the stage only had to follow his script step by step.An invisible hand controls all kinds of politicians and bureaucrats to go down step by step. They can't see the abyss under their feet. Every force thinks that they have a chance to win.

The convoy left the Kremlin and went to the airport. Next, he will fly directly to Foros Villa for vacation. Many people wonder why Yanayev did not choose Orenda Villa in Crimea, but chose to arrest Gore. Bachev's Villa Forros?

Because every Soviet leader has a preference for choosing a holiday villa, only Yanayev ordered that anyone be prohibited from making a request to build a villa, and no high-level leader is allowed to use state funds to build such a flashy project.

In Yanayev's eyes Villa Foros was not a leisure resort, but a disgrace.

Between 1996 and 1997, there were two major construction sites in the Soviet Union: one was to repair a sarcophagus covering the fourth reactor of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Chernobyl, and the other was in Saray, Crimea The Foros Villa was built for the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union near Cape Qi.Neither the leader of the Soviet Union nor the leaders of Western countries had such a villa before. Only the villa built by Ceausescu is more luxurious than this one.

After Gorbachev stepped down, Yanayev always reminded himself that he must not repeat the same mistakes.

The general secretary is a public servant of the people, and he is not qualified to ride on their heads and lord them over.

The final destination of the plane was the Belbek military airport. At the airport closest to the holiday villa, a convoy from the KGB leader's security bureau was already waiting there to take the general secretary to the heavily guarded villa.

The real winner was hiding in the presidential plane, quietly reading a financial magazine.The head of the Presidential Security Bureau, Generalov, sat next to Yanayev, never taking his eyes off him for a moment.

This is his first face-to-face contact with Chairman Yanayev. It may be because of his previous superior, Plekhanov. The work is entrusted to him.This led to an embarrassing situation for Gneyralov. In the eyes of everyone, he is the person most likely to know all the secrets of the chairman, but in fact Vladimir is his real confidant, who has mastered most of the secrets of the Kremlin people.

"Comrade Generalov."

Yanayev's cry startled him from his seat and looked around vigilantly, but he realized his gaffe and sat down quickly, apologizing to the general secretary, "I'm sorry, general secretary, I've been too nervous these days .”

"What is Generalov thinking, why does he look so out of his mind? I thought something happened to you. There are a lot of things going on in the Kremlin these days, and you have to worry about it."

Fearing that his actions would arouse the other party's suspicion, Generalov went on to explain, "It's because of the recent changes in the general secretary's arrangements, and I have to take all the circumstances into consideration, so...that led to such tension. .”

Yanayev smiled and waved his hand to show that he didn't care.In my heart, I watched the mockery of the other party's funny performance. It seems that the wind that I deliberately leaked has scared the conservatives enough, otherwise Comrade Gneralov would not look like an enemy like he is now.What could be more terrifying to him than facing a guy who doesn't play his cards according to common sense and drives them to nowhere.

When he heard that there were many things going on in the Kremlin, Gneralov's expression changed obviously. He looked at Yanayev a little unnaturally, and finally nodded.

I don't know how many steps the devil sitting directly opposite him has calculated?Is it possible that even the information he obtained was within his calculations? For a while, he even suspected that the information he obtained was false. Yanayev had other secrets hidden and did not let him know.

This feeling is very bad, as if being manipulated by a pair of invisible hands, vaguely pushing into some invisible abyss.He believed that the general secretary with a calm expression in front of him was the power behind the scenes to manipulate everything.

"By the way, Comrade Gneyralov, I really want to know a question. Do you feel that some comrades in Moscow are trying to carry out some big plans?"

Generalov accidentally knocked over the glass on the table, and the water in it spilled all over the floor.He looked at Yanayev with a strange expression, and even subconsciously rubbed his hands on his waist, preparing to draw his gun.

Instead of drawing a gun and risking assassinating the chairman, he kept the bullets in the gun for himself.If the chairman already knows that he is a traitor around him, he will be shot into a sieve by the surrounding security personnel before he draws out his gun.

Generalov smelled a dangerous signal. The man in front of him was, no, to be precise, more like a demon, a monster who saw through everything.

"what happened to you?"

Yanayev also noticed his restlessness, and asked a little puzzled, "Why does he look a little nervous? Do you also know that there is a secret force in Moscow?"

Realizing his gaffe, Gnieralov quickly put his hands down. He almost revealed his identity just now and vetoed Yanayev's statement, "No, I didn't feel anything strange, I just felt sorry for Yanayev. I'm a little curious about General Secretary Hu's words. Who dares to do tricks behind your back?"

Yanayev explained, "There are many careerists in the Politburo and those who have been suppressed by me. I think these people are forming a secret alliance. If I were them, I would wait until I went to Foros Villa. Do it, hold an emergency meeting, unify the comrades of the Politburo. And tell them that if they don't unite against Yanayev, they will be wiped out. I think these people will not hesitate to stand together in order to save their lives , stood up against me. Back then when Beria was arrested and Khrushchev was forcibly retired, didn’t they all use the same method? These people have no innovations, so they can’t use newer methods? Why do they use new methods every time? It’s all about waiting until the people in power leave the Kremlin.”

After listening to the other party's complaints, Generalov didn't know how to reply to the general secretary. He felt that what he said pointed to Lukyanov and his actions.

"Um……"

"I'm on the president's special plane, and now is the best chance for them to do something. It's a pity, if they don't do something now, they will never have a chance in the future."

"..."

After listening to what Yanayev said, Generalov secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and sneered in his heart.The other party didn't realize that his setup had already been seen through. He thought he had a chance to win, but in fact there was another group of people watching his every move.Generalov secretly complained about his paranoia.Yanayev will not discover the secret between him and Lukyanov. Once Vladimir is dealt with and Yanayev is forced back, they will push Pavlov to the position of chairman.It's like a withdrawal from the drama in 1991.

Gnieralov didn't realize that he made exactly the same mistake as Plekhanov. He was too optimistic when he estimated the situation, and he didn't expect the person standing behind him.

But what Yanayev said next made the director of the leader's security bureau unable to laugh anymore.

"Hey, everyone thinks that they are in control of the overall situation... but they don't know that there is a bigger situation waiting for these people behind them. It is them, not me, who will be locked up in the Kazan Asylum."

"You say so, Comrade Generalov?"

Chapter 965 General Secretary, You Are Arrested

The designer Chekomalev considers Villa Foros to be the culmination of all his creations, the most perfect leader's villa.

Yanayev felt that this was a prison, a prison worse than the Kremlin.

The entire Foros villa area is strictly guarded by excellent guards.The guards here include not only KGB Ninth Bureau personnel, but also units of the Border Guards, who are on duty both on land and at sea.The border guards of Cape Sarech, this force has been greatly strengthened after the construction of Villa Foros.The area outside the villa is designated as a military-controlled area.The Belbek Military Airport is the closest airport to Foros Villa. The infrastructure of this airport is constantly expanding, and a special apron has been built for the leader's aircraft.

Centering on Foros, the southernmost point along the coast of Crimea, a huge military guard group was formed.

"At that time, the construction of Foros Villa was progressing very quickly. There were more than 2000 construction engineers fighting on the vast construction site, including the construction team inside the KGB. Many construction materials were directly transported from abroad by transport plane. Marble It is purchased from Italy, and the sanitary ware is a product of Germany. The former Soviet President Gorbachev paid close attention to the progress of the project, and his Mrs. Raisa often visited the construction site of Foros Villa. A good part of the area was knocked down and rebuilt, regardless of the resulting cost. The architectural plan kept adding new costly items, such as seasonal cinemas, artificial stone caves, winter gardens, elevators leading from the main building to the sea, and so on. At that time, there were internal voices saying that the Villa Foros and the sarcophagus of Chernobyl were the two major buildings of the Soviet at that time. In fact, the people could not be blamed for betraying the Soviet. Perhaps Comrade Brezhnev did not expect that he inherited Stalin, and the bureaucratic system he strengthened would be the last straw that broke the camel's back."

Yanayev explained while looking at the scenery outside the window.He rarely came to the holiday villa. Since he took office, he has only been to this beach twice. The rest of the time is busy with work and intrigue in the dim general secretary's office, and he rarely steps out of the red beach. brick wall.

"April is not a good season for vacation. Forros is always windy all year round, and it only stops slightly in July and August."
