The Polish problem was put to an end for the time being, and the besieged secret legions were finally freed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Polish artillery gradually weakened until it disappeared. After nearly three weeks of siege, the desperate forces saw the last rays of light. The Polish army stopped the fierce offensive and made a planned retreat. At this time, they also received a telegram from Moscow, telling them that the crisis was over. The Soviets pushed back the Polish offensive at the negotiating table, buying them time to evacuate.

It was Yanayev's order not to attack the Polish army directly, nor to provoke any more clashes. He just wanted to pour cold water on Vojnea's head, so that the agent, who was carried away by the victory, would first calm down and figure out his own situation.

It was the Soviet Union that propped them up, and if Voynea had thought of other ambitions, Yanayev would have brought him down from Romania in minutes. It's just that now the civil war is still stalemate, and Moscow doesn't want to make a fuss. Otherwise he would still be able to secure the presidency of Bucharest?

After the end of the civil war, it is the time to really test the loyalty of the other side.

The calm outside the General Secretary's office was broken by the hurried sound of leather shoes, the chairman of the Council of Ministers had a serious expression, and passers-by could only see his indifferent expression, but not his anxiety.

He walked to Yanayev's office, had already informed Assistant Valery that he was going to meet with Comrade General Secretary immediately.

As soon as Yanayev looked up, he saw Comrade Vladimir entering the door in the dust.

"What's wrong?"

Yanayev's expression was calm, but his heart was ready to accept the bad news. Vladimir usually doesn't look for himself, and it is only after he encounters a difficult situation that he appears in front of the office with a frown.

"What's wrong? It's rare to see you look so flustered, and say something slowly. Yanayev asked the other party to sit down first, and then he would clarify the situation.

"Now the problem is bad, there is a major situation in Ukraine, the Southern Machine-Building Plant ...... There have been general strikes of workers, and they have spread widely. Now I am afraid that it will affect our plans to move to the Far East. ”

Yanayev pursed his lips and did not speak, and after a while he said, "When did this happen?" ”

"Just last night, it was said that there was no agreement on certain agreements and that the workers were not satisfied with some of the conditions proposed. Originally, Ukraine wanted to forcibly suppress the matter, but unexpectedly, the striking and demonstrative workers clashed with the police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which led to a further escalation of the conflict. General Secretary Yanayev...... If not properly handled, it will have an immeasurable impact on the plans of the Far East's heavy industry. That's what worries me the most. ”

Now it is not only Poland that is causing a headache for Yanayev, he has not yet taken a breath, and a new situation has emerged in Ukraine. Yanayev put down the pen in his hand, stared at the telegram handed over by Comrade Vladimir, and while looking at the brief message on it, he said to himself, "Those old guys, have you finally started to challenge me?" ”

Vladimir was a little overwhelmed, he still didn't understand what Yanayev was talking about.

Yanayev did not continue to dwell on this issue, he raised his head and asked, "Comrade Vladimir, what do you think of this workers' strike?" ”

"Huh?" Vladimir felt a little strange why this question was not first asked to the first secretary of Ukraine, Shecherbitsky, who should know the current situation better than himself.

"It's okay, if you have any questions, just ask, I want to hear your opinion before making a decision."

The general secretary did not seem to be in a hurry about the situation in Ukraine, and he even wanted to hear the other party's opinion with interest.

"Hmm...... It's hard to say the current situation, and part of the outbreak of this incident may be some misunderstandings caused by the lack of Ukrainian propaganda, and of course, it cannot be ruled out that there may be some ...... Other factors. ”

Speaking of this, Vladimir raised his head and glanced at the general secretary sitting in the position, the other party showed a look of interest, and he confirmed that his words did not arouse the other party's disgust before continuing, "Shecherbitsky did not report such a thing as soon as possible, but wanted to use the police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to suppress the whole thing, and as far as I know, there was no violence among the workers at first, that is, after Shecherbitsky's suppression of the riots. It doesn't seem like it's trying to suppress the contradictions, but rather intensifying them...... Until all the contradictions erupt...... Hehe......"

"Are they commanded? Or is there something else going on? ”

Yanayev did not give a direct answer, he said slowly, "But it is not clear what the situation is now, it can only be said that this is one of the possibilities, Ukraine is the stronghold of conservatives, and they will definitely not let Ukraine make any mistakes." So the initial plan for the transfer of heavy industry was originally blocked, and if Shecherbitsky had to calculate, this move was also expected. ”

"Huh?"

Even Vladimir was a little stunned, and he didn't expect that the situation in Ukraine was also within Yanayev's calculations, and how far has the struggle between Yanayev and the conservatives become?

"Could it be that the general secretary had long expected that there would be an accident in the industrial base of Ukraine?"

Yanayev shook his head.

"Not really, and I'm not a prophet of God. It's just that I think that something may happen, such as the current workers' strike. If it really takes a guess, some people in Moscow's political situation are snickering. ”

"Bastard!" Vladimir's expression was angry, they were trying so hard to save the country, but they didn't expect a group of despicable villains to stumble behind their backs.

"This is politics, Comrade Vladimir, there is no need to be filled with righteous indignation, don't look at the calm appearance of the current Politburo, in fact, there are only a lot more open and secret battles underground. These people have not yet fully surfaced, but Ukraine should be the first signal, symbolizing the shift of the struggle from the dark to the light. The next thing we face is just a lot more. It's time to battle their wits and courage. ”

Yanayev spoke so lightly that he did not see that he was worried about these things. But Vladimir was not a minority of Soviet leaders who came to power through political struggles, Khrushchev defeated the Beria gang through a sudden coup d'état, but finally retired after returning from a trip abroad by his student Brezhnev coup.

After the Romanian problem was resolved, he rarely went abroad and devoted himself to the struggle at home.

Vladimir's qualifications were not enough to overpower the senators, and Yanayev had to keep the situation in secret.

"This incident in Ukraine is both a danger and an opportunity, and I will leave this matter to you with full authority, don't let me down."

Yanayev didn't even think about it, and sent his protégé to the conservative base camp in Ukraine to fight with Shecherbitsky. And a death order was given.

"If this strike is properly resolved, your prestige within the political and political bureau will increase, and the conservatives will be even more helpless against you. Of course, if you fail, I don't need to tell you the consequences, and now the conservatives are pressing us step by step, and if there is a slight mistake, the position of chairman of the Council of Ministers will not be retained. Therefore, for those who are not capable, this is a crisis, and for those who are capable, the other party is a cocoon. It's time to teach Shecherbitsky a lesson. ”

After preparing for so long, it's time to let the other party do it alone, otherwise the successor who has been cultivated so hard will not be able to control the overall situation alone, and it is sad to think about it.

A smile appeared on the corner of Frykimir's mouth, and as soon as Yanayev said who he was going to unlucky, he would uproot the interest groups behind him.

"If you can coerce and lure you over, do it."

"If it doesn't work, you see the opportunity to act in Ukraine, as long as Shecherbitsky can step down, I don't care about anything else. It is better for the other side to fall by justifiable means, and the kind of approach that punishes Moscow will leave a lot of hands and be more troublesome. ”

Yanayev taught Comrade Vladimir what to do.

"Since they want to play, they have to see if they have enough capital."

"Just one Shecherbitsky, he also deserves it?" (To be continued.) )
