(1st Update)

Xie Liaosha instantly understood, it turned out that the person in front of him turned out to be the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, under the majestic gaze of Yanayev, Xie Liaosha, who was usually empty-eyed, was actually frightened, he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. But Yanayev didn't leave him time to think, and said directly to Gromov beside him, "General Grollov, remember what I said before, I don't want to see scum and moths in the army, so I want you to know what to do next." ”

Gromov, who chose to stand on Yanayev's side, nodded decisively, he walked up to Seryosha and said, "You know how to do it, Comrade Seryosha." Come on your own, and don't embarrass me. From today onwards, you will be dismissed from your position, suspended from your position, and this time even your immediate boss will not be able to help you. ”

Gromov estimated that he pronounced the words "boss" very seriously, just to let Yanayev beside him know that there was a mastermind behind Seryasha, and he fell into the stone pit of Commander-in-Chief Chernavin once. However, Yanayev had no expression on his face, but silently remembered everything in his heart.

Seeing that Xie Liaosha stood still and did not move, Yanayev frowned and said impatiently, "Please give way, comrade." Don't stand in the way of heroes, you don't have that qualification. ”

Gromov, who was bent on currying favor with Yanayev, hurriedly glanced at the people around him, and the guards around him quickly came over with understanding, grabbed Seryosha's arm and dragged it out, and Seryosha, who came to his senses, grabbed Gromov's sleeve and shouted, "You can't do this to me." General Gromov. I have made meritorious contributions to the Navy. I shed blood for the Navy. Let me go, I want to see Commander-in-Chief Chernavin! ”

Gromov shook off his hand in disgust, and let the ghost of Shelyosa be dragged down by the guards howling, leaving a string of sharp mourning echoes in the corridor, which was chilling to hear.

Gromov retreated with great interest, and only Yanayev and Remus were left in the small, dark confinement cell. Remus, who hadn't slept well for a few days, raised his head, looked at the man in front of him, and said with some self-deprecation. "Am I having a bad rest these days? Why do I see the shadow of the general secretary. ”

"You read that right, Comrade Remus, I'm General Secretary Yanaev, and I'm here to pick you up." Yanayev sighed and spoke slowly, reaching out to Remuse in an attempt to pull him up. The other party just waved his hand, tilted his head, and looked at Yanayev with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

"I only want to know one thing, I have defended the interests of the Motherland. Did you do it wrong? Even Remus, who was righteous and awe-inspiring under Xie Liaosha's coercion and temptation, was full of humiliation and sadness at this moment.

"Nope. Those who safeguard the interests of the motherland are never wrong. Seeing that Remus, who was supposed to be a hero of the Soviets, was now as depressed as a prisoner, Yanayev suddenly felt distressed for no reason.

"That's good, that's good." Remuse asked, "Can I be reinstated now?" I also want to continue to defend the borders of my homeland in the seas. ”

"Comrade Remus, of course you can be reinstated." "Not only will you be reinstated, but you will be treated as a hero." Our motherland is great not because it has created a vast war machine that terrifies the West, but because of unsung heroes like you. As long as you are still there, our ideals and our struggles will not fail. ”

"Well, General Secretary Yanayev, I believe in you." At this time, the first smile of Remus, who had been silent for a long time, also stretched out his hand to grasp Yanayev's outstretched right hand, and stood up.

Seeing Remus at last, Yanayev finally breathed a sigh of relief, he looked around at the gloomy surroundings, and said, "Such a prison is only for the enemies of the Soviets, and a true hero like you should be greeted with flowers and applause. Instead of staying here to be forgotten. ”

Two hours later, a radiant Remuse appeared in the award hall at the headquarters in Severomorsk, and Remus, standing on the podium, took Alexander's hand from Yanayev unusually? Order of Nevsky. It is used to praise his heroic and decisive behavior in the Arctic Ocean crisis, and his flexible command of the battle and heavy damage to American ships.

When Remus presented the award, the audience burst into fierce applause, which was also the first time in nearly a decade that the North Sea Fleet had received such a significant medal award. So much so that Remus, who has always been calm and calm, still trembled with excitement when he faced the sudden honor.

No one would have thought that he, who was a prisoner one minute, would become a great hero of the Soviet Union's heroic battle in the next second.

"I am grateful to General Secretary Yanayev." Remus was a little excited and incoherent when he spoke, "Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I don't think I've done anything wrong, it's the unshirkable responsibility of every captain to attack a submarine that the United States has violated in the sea area!" If I had to choose again, I would still not hesitate to bump into it, even if I was imprisoned in a confinement room or retired early, I would never regret it! ”

As soon as Remus's words fell, Yanayev, who was sitting on the sidelines, stood up and took the lead in applauding, and the people in the audience saw that the general secretary was leading by example, and hurriedly stood up and applauded with the same enthusiasm. When Remus retreated, Yanayev stood on the podium and spoke, as is customary in the system, except that Yanayev's speech was far better than that of the bureaucrats who did not stick their fingers.

"This Arctic Ocean crisis, Captain Remus handled it very well, and he told the Americans with real actions that this is our sea area and the territory is sacrosanct. Today, I would also like to give the K-246 Sierra class nuclear submarine a new code name here, the Mayflower. ”

As soon as this statement was introduced, there was an uproar, and they did not expect that the general secretary would come up with such a provocative name.

And Yanayev thought that since the United States released a movie about the hunting of the Red October the year before last, he didn't mind taking advantage of this crisis to give the submarine a new name and raise his eyebrows.

Yanayev continued, his tone soothing and eloquent, "Comrades here, I have heard the saying before that the greatness of a country is not judged by how tough its words and how resolute its attitude is. It's about whether it has ever been a hero. A country without heroes is sad, and a country that forgets its heroes is shameful. Do you know the price of a nation's dignity? It was the sacrifice of countless thousands of people like Comrade Remus. Why did the USSR become so powerful after the war and become a country surrounded and hated by the Western world? It is because our fighters, the great Red Army, did not choose to abandon the Motherland at the moment of the greatest crisis. ”

Infected by his own emotions, Yanayev's eyes also turned red when he said this, he looked around at the silent crowd in the audience, and continued, "When you shout slogans, everything for the Soviets, for the revolution, for our great victory, for the defense of the dignity of the Motherland, please be like Comrade Remus, and prove it with practical deeds, not an empty slogan, or a despicable way of doing what is not the right thing to do." ”

"Our comrades have been shaken and deviated in their thinking, they enjoy the benefits provided by the people, they enjoy the painstaking efforts of their fathers, but they do not fulfill their duty to serve the people, and they also appear to be at ease, trying to suppress those people who are fighting for the motherland with the so-called free thought. I just want to advise them here that the Soviets will never forgive those who betray the people, and you will eventually be punished. "This passage is used by Yanayev to warn Chernavin and other naval liberal officers that if you choose to take refuge in the opposite side, then we will never forgive the traitor.

"I hope that all comrades can remember this sentence, and the motherland will eventually choose those who are loyal to the motherland! The Motherland will remember those who are dedicated to the Motherland! ”

As soon as the last sonorous sentence fell, the audience burst into thunderous applause. All the excited, excited, unwilling, angry, and resentful eyes gathered on Yanayev's body at this moment, and did not move away for a long time. (To be continued.) )
