Chapter Twenty-Three: The World of Soviet Punishment (Part II)

(Today's third watch, listening to the Soviet march code words is really too feeling, and the lyrics in the text have changed slightly in order to rhyme.) There were several versions of the Chinese lyrics of the march, and I chose the one that sounded the most domineering. )

The situation was still deadlocked, and Yanayev warned the three leaders who tried to divide the family with the strongest attitude, "You must not take a piece of land belonging to the Soviet Union from me." And the Baltic Sea, which has the support of NATO countries behind it, is also struggling to support it. Yanayev has the illusion of returning to the historical timeline of 1959. Khrushchev was also in a terrible stalemate with Kennedy, but that time Khrushchev avoided the possibility of bringing humanity to the end of the world with his own concessions.

Despite the fact that times have changed, the political instability in the Baltic Sea, like Cuba, which is obsessed with the United States, is like a sharp nail in the heart of Moscow. If Yanayev chooses to compromise, the following domino chain reaction will cost the Soviet Union most of its republics.

Yanayev was not fighting against the three clowns in front of him, but against the vast free world behind them.

Throwing out the hand of the Baltic Fleet, and even some of the more concealed unconventional weapons were put on the table as trump cards to play the game, Yanayev had not many trump cards in his hand. The seemingly step-by-step tough attitude is really a helpless move, and no country with confidence will squander its trump card so casually. If NATO insists any longer, he will really only have the last life-saving card, the R-36M Satan ICBM.

But Yanayev is well aware that doing so is tantamount to sending humanity into a new generation of Stone Age.

And now Yanayev wants to play the penultimate trump card, like superimposing straw on a camel, Yanayev keeps exerting military pressure on NATO, one by one, until the last straw that can crush their psychological defense.

Three Tu-160 bombers, specially escorted by Su-27 fighters, took off from the airfield of the Soviet mainland and flew in the direction of the Baltic Sea. The Tu-160 bomber, known as the "pirate flag" in the West, spread its huge wings and flew like an elegant and noble swan across the clear blue sky, like a floating white island, towards the three Baltic countries.

The three Tu-160 bombers are loaded with nuclear warheads, making them a depot of nuclear weapons that moves in mid-air. As soon as Yanayev gives the order, the driver will press the red button, and the Grim Reaper will fall on the territory of the Baltic Sea in a cluster, and in an instant the three countries will become a replica of Chernobyl.

After receiving the radar alert, the three Baltic countries urgently dispatched MiG-27 fighters to intercept them, but none of the pilots dared to strike at him in a grand manner, first, the Su-27 fighters that were closely following the Tu-160 were staring at every move of the MiG-27, but if they dared to make deviant behaviors, the MiG-27 pilots had to weigh whether they were the opponents of the Su-27 "air scalpel". Second, the Tu-160 bombers are full of nuclear warheads, and no one dares to attack even if they fly over the three Baltic countries, and once those nuclear bombs explode, Estonia will not be able to escape the fate of becoming Chernobyl.

The MiG-27 pilot was given the order to monitor the movements of the Tu-160 bomber throughout the entire process, and to intercept it only when he passed over the capital. The Estonian Air Force is also helpless, this feeling is like a robber swaggering into your house to move things, but you can only watch him do whatever he wants because he is not strong enough.

So Estonian President Arnold also didn't look good at the moment he received the news. He even wanted to rush outside the conference room to see if the bomber was aiming the bomb in his direction.

"Yanayev, what are you? Threatening us with nuclear weapons? Arnold's teeth clucked, and in the face of the powerful Soviet Armed Forces, the whole of Estonia was like a lamb to the slaughter.

"Threats? President Arnold, you think too highly of yourself. Yanayev shook his head, a pen in his hand, trying to hold it on the table, "Countries like the three Baltic states don't need to use the Soviet Union's finale weapon. In other words, you can understand it, the three Baltic Sea are all armed together, and how many divisions can be compared to Moscow? Don't think too highly of yourself, the Soviet Union has never been afraid of small characters like you, it's just those guys who are behind your backs that I really want to hit. ”

"And now the bunch may be running out of patience, all I need to do is lick another handful of firewood." Yanayev gently pushed the fountain pen set up on the table, and the tip of the pen pointed right at Estonian President Arnold, like a sharp sword, pointing directly at the heart. This pen represents the last card he will make a sortie, the Soviet Panzer Division. The Estonian Armed Forces as a country's land forces, including logistics personnel, were not enough for the two Soviet armored divisions to plug the gaps.

At this point, Yanayev has played all his hands except for the Satan ICBM, which saved his life. The next thing to see is whether NATO countries will restrain themselves because of his hardline attitude.

The T72 tank was like a long steel dragon, crowding this road to the border. The tank and armored division, which was ready to go, aimed its artillery fire in the direction of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. The tank's tracks turned, and an indestructible torrent of steel would crush all the obstacles that stood in their way.

The soldier walked in a neat step, his eyes looking resolutely into the distance. AK74 rifles in their hands were ready to go, and they sang the "Soviet March" that quickly spread from the ranks, and rushed to the distant battlefield. The political commissar stood among them and sang this majestic military song composed by Yanayev himself to the front line.

The Hind helicopter flew over the soldiers' heads, and the sound waves from the turn of the propellers carried the impassioned song into the distance. Let those who dare to offend the Soviet state, for the first time, have the most primitive fear from the depths of their hearts.

"We, the Soviets, will punish the world!"

The roar of tanks crushing the road startled birds perched on the trees on the roadside, golden wheat fields fell in the direction of the gears of war, and stained-glass windows in Orthodox churches in Estonian border towns were reduced to splinters by stray bullets. The people looked at these sudden invaders in panic, just as the citizens of Budapest looked in fear in 1956.

"From the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean!"

At the outpost on the Estonian border, the soldiers with cigarettes in their mouths forgot to light the fire and watched as a torrent of armor passed by them that seemed to be in no sight. Then he was pushed to the ground and his firearm was confiscated. Until the last moment, he did not believe that the so-called torrent of steel was really an endless ocean of war.

"The song of October resounded all over the earth!"

The Estonian armored forces were not at all able to fight back in the face of the torrent of steel, and the so-called "Maginot No" strategic defense line, which claimed to be able to resist the attack of Soviet tanks, was easily torn apart, and a steady stream of Soviet tanks drove straight in without even encountering much losses.

"The Soviet Red Bear is about to arrive!"

The Estonian Army units finally despaired, their previous pride was shattered in an instant, and they now understood that the proud armored forces were no match for the Soviet tank divisions, and soon became a systematic rout and surrender, just like the Hungarian October events and the Prague Spring at the beginning, and the Soviet units were in complete control of the situation. From the beginning to the end of the offensive, it took less than four hours. The commander-in-chief of the Estonian army assured Arnold that they could hold back the Soviet forces for a week until the combined NATO forces arrived in the Soviet Union.

"Ulla!"
