Chapter 957: Catch them all
Since Yanayev had cornered them, the simple-minded Slavs took the most direct approach, just as the general secretary had done to Gorbachev and Yeltsin, and set a precedent for coup killings. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info Perhaps even Yanayev did not realize that his risky bet would become the object of imitation by some careerists with ulterior motives.
"Ahem, I don't think I'm going to be able to get out of this dangerous game......"
The voice on the other side was full of helplessness, knowing that Lukyanov was going to play a dangerous game, he couldn't stop the other party from continuing to play. Either pull the whole conservative faction to gamble on the game, or be wrapped up in a slowly tightening net and die. One is an execution, the other is a reprieve.
"It's not a dangerous game, it's for our future. If Yanayev succeeds, a lot of people will die in Moscow, no one wants to see those tragedies happen again, someone must stand up and stop him! ”
Lukyanov does not want to see the bloody scene of 1991 again, many of whom are vested interests in Moscow, and it is impossible for them to let go, either Yanayev uses the most brutal means to push the forces that hinder reform to reshuffle the cards, or they drive Yanayev from power, and the final outcome is a heavy disaster for Moscow.
"I will make other arrangements for the specific situation, so don't reveal your identity for the time being...... Wait. As soon as the news of the Black Sea vacation is confirmed, I will start making arrangements. ”
The coup d'état is a meticulous game, and Lukyanov needs to consider the consequences of the reshuffling of interests, Vladimir, Surkov and other young Zhuang factions will be suppressed, and the elders will further consolidate the fruits of their victory.
When Lukyanov walked out of the room, his hands were trembling, no one knew that this man with his hat pressed very low, who was holding the secret of subverting the political situation in Moscow, walked out of the lobby of the hotel, and his figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.
On this day, Moscow was calm.
With great interest, General Secretary Yanayev stepped out of the red wall, the red domed building that imprisoned him for so long that he forgot what the outside world was like.
Politics and intrigue are intertwined, and he has always lived in the very center of the vortex, with all kinds of people appearing around him with different purposes, some of them are fierce, some are kind and smiling, and the ultimate goal is only political interests.
Vladimir's performance in Tbilisi, Ukraine, has already won the applause of the vast majority of the Politburo veterans, and no matter how much they try to drag down the outstanding young people, they will not be able to stop the expansion ambitions of the Young Zhuang. Just as the rusty battleships of the old days are destined to be replaced by the aircraft carriers of the new era, there is no need for them to make small moves behind their backs.
Yanayev stood in front of Stalin's famous tomb, looking at the tombstone that belonged to Stalin, followed by Vladimir. The middle-aged man in the back didn't understand why he chose to meet him here, there was no place more secure and confidential than the general secretary's office.
When he said this idea, Yanayev denied it, "Safety? No one can feel safe when there may be traitors lurking around them, Comrade Vladimir, this quiet cemetery is safer than the Kremlin office, because only the dead can hear the conversation between you and me. ”
Both Lenin's Tomb and the Tomb of Famous People were temporarily closed to create a space for Yanayev to communicate. But the general secretary's words are even more penetrating than these tombstones.
"Are the conservatives getting moving?"
Vladimir said excitedly, glad that his plan had succeeded.
"The bait has been spreading, and I don't know what kind of fish I will catch. Now they are still circling around the bait, not knowing whether to bite down or not, these people will not take the bait until the most critical moment, and we need to push it again until they think they can't wait any longer. ”
The Black Sea vacation only created a condition, and the specific inducement had to wait for Yanayev to continue to push them, until the other side thought that they were cornered, and they jumped out.
Yanayev was not at all afraid of their rebellion, he was afraid that the conservatives would not rebel, it was like a thorn in the chest, unable to shrink freedom.
"The Central Special Inspection Commission will continue to attack the conservatives, and the people standing next to them will be arrested one by one, and they will naturally lose their breath. You are now the chairman of the Council of Ministers, and arresting them at a meeting of the White House will give the conservatives an even bigger shock. Just imagine, when we have become so unscrupulous that conservatives have no other way but to jump out and launch a coup d'état. ”
"They don't have an army."
Comrade Vladimir made the point, "Without the army, I really can't think of any capital for a coup d'état for them?" Is it just a few people at hand to control the hundreds or thousands of war machines of the other Soviets? We have the Dzerzhinsky division, the Taman infantry division, and the Kantemirovka division, and they have nothing. ”
Yanayev lowered his head and smiled, as if to make fun of the naivety of the chairman of the Council of Ministers. He touched the pen on the table and said thoughtfully, "If the most direct and simple method is adopted, and the most radical method is to cut off our heads before the army moves, even if we have a few divisions of combat effectiveness, it will not help, and then the political situation in Moscow will only be left with a few old men who are almost half a foot in the coffin, what can the army do but obey?" There is no need to think about it, the old commanders who are concerned about the overall situation, that is, Akhromeyev, will definitely not rashly take the form of conflict between the army and the government, because he starts from the overall situation in everything he does. Even if Akhromeyev had the slightest bit of selfishness, I would have regarded him as the last firewall to ensure the results of reform, but it's a pity ......"
Placing Akhromeyev in the position of field marshal also had a certain sense of compromise, and he did not favor the conservatives as well as the young ones, and although he was friendly with Yanayev, he acted more like a mediator.
"In the next few days, I have been closely monitoring Moscow's movements, and the time is not far off for them to take radical measures. When the time comes......"
Yanayev's hand slowly drooped, and he secretly clenched his fists, he had endured it for a long time, originally that part of the people eight years ago should have died with Goto.
"Don't blame me for killing them all in spite of what I did eight years ago."
