Chapter 648: Evacuation of the Presidential Palace

The third more

"Shamanov actually asked for $10 million in cash? Why didn't they rob it? These guys who take advantage of the fire to rob are even more damned than the capitalists! After listening to Minashvili's reply, Gorbachev abruptly stood up from his chair, and handing over a ransom of 10 million meant that he would be penniless, since the vast majority of Gorbachev's property was transferred to overseas accounts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info His capital chain is also from foreign banks.

"Three hours, the Soviet army gave us only three hours." Minashvili was a little disdainful of Gerbachev's funding, and he truthfully relayed Shamanov's original words to Gelbachev, "If Shamanov doesn't see the 10 million in three hours, the Soviet army will bomb the whole of Tbilisi, even if the city is burned to ashes and turned into ruins, they will find you." ”

"Crazy, crazy, just crazy." Gorbachev paced back and forth, apparently by this time he still wanted to bargain with the Soviet troops.

"Don't think about bargaining, President Gorbachev." Minashvili had calmed down, he sat on the chair and crossed his legs, not caring at all about the deafening explosion outside the window, he said slowly, "The Soviets will issue another reward in three hours, and whoever catches Gorbachev will receive a reward of five million dollars, whether it is the Georgian rebels or the Soviet army, and there is no limit to life or death." ”

Troshev's trick was enough to pay the ransom within three hours or not after three hours, and Gorbachev would die.

"What?" Gorbachev stopped, and he began to fall into deep thought. Now he has to think not about bargaining with the Soviets, but about how to get out of this hell alive.

"I agreed to the ransom of 10 million dollars, and you must communicate with Shamanov about this, and make sure that they open up a safe passage, and now I need to contact the CIA to settle some of the matters at hand."

Gorbachev dialed Tenet to provide a secret communication number, and the line was immediately transferred to the Pentagon, where Washington's top brass had been monitoring the situation since the Soviets began their offensive against Georgia. When they received a call from Gorbachev, all of them looked gloomy.

"It looks like the battle has failed." Director Tenet, who was sitting on the side, whispered, in fact, if it weren't for the complete transformation of the Soviet army's combat methods this time, Georgia would not have lost so ugly. After only five days, the army was defeated.

Secretary Perry turned to Tenet and said, "It seems that this is an asymmetrical war, as predicted by CIA intelligence analysts, and the chances of Gorbachev being able to draw are slim to none." ”

Even the American military observer shook his head helplessly and said to President Mario, "This is a complete copy of the Gulf War, and Gorbachev's army is simply no match for the informationized Soviet army." The Georgian Independence Army was slightly stronger than Saddam's army. ”

With that said, the next task is how to save Gorbachev from Georgia. Director Tenet has arranged for CIA agents to establish a temporary chain of command on the Turkish border and to transfer Marines to Turkish soil in the name of Turkish U.S. military exchanges, all in preparation for Gorbachev. There are even U.S. troops on the Turkish border.

"President Mario, I'm Gorbachev."

Gerbachev's tone on the phone sounded a little hurried, and the noise of explosions could be faintly heard, indicating that Gerbachev's situation was already very dangerous, and he could fall miserably at any time.

"They are about to take the presidential palace, we are now preparing to tear a gap in the weakest part of the encirclement and flee in the direction of Turkey, we hope to have troops to meet us! If it's too late, we won't be able to escape. Now it seems that there is a problem with the communications operations of the Soviet army, and the coordinated offensive between the troops has stopped, and this is our last chance. ”

President Mario replied, "No problem, President Gorbachev." We've arranged for Marines to support us in the border area, and we hope you'll be able to tell us the route of your escape so we can arrange for someone to pick you up. ”

"I'll send you the detailed route later, please hurry up, we may not be able to make it through the night."

Then in the constant echo of the busy tone, the Pentagon lost contact with Gorbachev. President Mario sat back in his chair with a solemn expression. He began issuing orders to Tenet and others.

"Gorbachev must be escorted to the borders of Turkey safe and sound, and now he is the last card in our hands, and without Gorbachev, the situation will appear even more passive."

President Mario gave Tenet the equivalent of an order that Gorbachev must be taken out of the Caucasus alive. Teney nodded, he had already arranged his staff, and was waiting for everything to be ready.

"We coordinated with the Marines that they were willing to try to get Gorbachev 10 kilometers deep into the border, and the Soviets had a CIA team to stop the pursuers. But President Mario, this time we are operating in their place, and if it is not handled well, it could become a pretext for the Soviet Union to go to war at any time......"

"Of course I do, Chief Tenet." President Mario interrupted, "And I'm willing to take full responsibility for this operation, because it's a risky gamble." ”

President Mario has bet almost all of his life on Gorbachev for the rest of his term, and as long as Gorbachev can be saved, it will be much easier to form and call for an anti-Soviet coalition.

"Chief Tenet, this mission does not allow us to fail."

Mario took a deep breath and said to the people around him, "If we fail, we may miss an opportunity to turn the tide of the situation, which means that we have to save Gorbachev, understand?" ”

"Understood."

Tenet said confidently, "We have the most advanced electronic information system in the world, which can track the status of Gorbachev at any time, and as long as they are willing to cooperate with us, they can easily evade the detection of the Soviet army." (To be continued.) )
