Chapter 974: A Late Night Call
The president of the United States was not so easy to do, for example, in the early days of the Great Depression, Hoover had to deal with the menacing attack of the communist world, which had triggered a wave of American immigration to Russia, and even promoted the idea of the imminent demise of capitalism. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Johnson, who later became mired in the quagmire of the Vietnam War, was worried and frightened by the ancient powers on the Eastern European continent. Of course, in the near future, another red power will emerge, which will also make the United States feel helpless.
Now, for example, President Mario has given up any offensive against the Soviet Union at the end of his term, turning his attention to the mess left behind by the alchemist. He didn't know that because Kennedy missed out on the presidency, the United States lost a decade of economic take-off.
The American people have become disillusioned with him as president, and with the provisions of the Constitution, it is no longer possible for Mario to continue to sit in this position.
As the lights went out in his White House office, President Mario looked up to find that it was getting dark, and he had spent almost another night in his office. It was the first night he had ever spent in the middle of the night, and a lot of tedious work awaited him, and through the windows of the White House lawn, he would find the office lights as bright as day.
He sighed, closed the papers on the table, and rubbed his sour eyes. Just as he was about to get up to make a cup of coffee, the phone rang suddenly, Mario picked up the phone, and said in a lazy tone, "I'm President Mario." ”
Director Tenet on the other end of the phone spoke in a hurried tone, "Your Excellency, I am Director Tenet, and the CIA's informant in Moscow has received news that there has been a coup d'état in the political-political situation of the CPSU, and now I am rushing to the White House to report to you the latest situation." ”
President Mario gasped, the news made him suddenly sleepy, and immediately held the table with his hand and clenched the microphone, "Come here now, I will notify the national security adviser and let him come to the office." ”
President Mario put down the phone, the news more irritating than doping, and his hands trembled a little, waiting for the situation to develop further.
A minute later, another phone call was made from the Counsellor of the American ambassador to Moscow, who also reported the news, and declared that the building of the Supreme Soviet Congress was surrounded by armored troops, and that they did not know which side was at a disadvantage.
"As soon as I find out, I need to know the latest situation of the coup in Moscow. Let the ambassador report to me every two hours, and I need to prepare the information for the next situation. ”
He did not want to be like President Bush in the 1991 coup d'état, when everyone, including the Intelligence Committee, agreed that the August 19 coup led by Yanayev would not succeed, but reality slapped everyone in the face.
Now President Mario does not dare to make the same stupid mistake again.
The next phone call was made to National Security Adviser Berger, who woke him up from his sleep in his bed and told Berger the big news.
The other party suddenly fell asleep, realized the seriousness of the matter, got up and prepared to set off in the direction of the White House.
Soon the two cars were parked in the West Parking Lot of the White House, and Advisor Berger and Director Tenet stepped into President Mario's office at the same time.
Under the shroud of the lights, everyone's faces looked pale and bloodless, Mario was thinking about how much impact this incident would have, a coup d'état in the open and honest affected everyone's hearts, after all, the Supreme General Secretary was holding the button of a nuclear bomb launcher, and no one dared to guarantee what the outcome of the situation would turn out in the end.
"Any news?"
After meeting with Berger's advisors, President Mario eagerly asked, "Is there any news on the intelligence agents?" ”
Before Director Tenet could sit down, he began to report on the situation, "Now it is like this, the conservatives led by Lukyanov are trying to stage a coup d'état to overthrow Yanayev during his vacation to the Black Sea villa. Now the situation seems to have completely turned, with Vladimir gaining the upper hand and surrounding the White House. Our intelligence agents have observed armored forces shelling the White House building, I'm afraid...... It's an attempt to kill conservatives. ”
“……”
President Mario frowned, originally he hoped that someone could overthrow the domineering Yanayev regime in exchange for a period of peace with the United States, but now this group of people can't play Yanayev in terms of power and tactics, so that they are suppressed to the point where they can't raise their heads.
The silent Berger adviser spoke, "So in which direction are they shelling the White House, bottom?" The top floor? ”
Tenet paused for a moment, pondered the contents of the telegram, and said, "The observation on the spot is to fire at the top floor, but does it matter?" ”
"If Yanayev wanted Lukyanov dead, he would not have used deterrence to bombard the White House indiscriminately, and if not, it would mean that Yanayev was trying to force them to surrender," Berger said. I believe everyone knows how the other party dealt with traitors, right? Yeltsin didn't know where to bury it, Gorbachev directly broke the bones and scattered ashes, and Lukyanov committed the crime of a coup d'état, will it be much better than the previous two people? Of course not. ”
"It can only be said that Lukyanov has what Yanayev wants in his hands, and he will adopt this way."
Tenet raised his hand and asked, "Why wasn't Yanayev a compromise who didn't want to make the situation out of control?" After all, when this coup d'état spread, it was the entire Soviet Union that was disgraced. ”
In the minds of the leaders of every country, the coup d'état is an unspeakable scandal.
President Mario said bluntly, "When did Yanayev ever fear losing someone? He dared to arrest Yeltsin and assassinate Gorbachev in the August 19 incident, just to declare to the whole world that his methods were tough and his absolute authority. Okay guys, now we have to think about the position and attitude of the United States in this matter of the Soviet Union? ”
As soon as the voice fell, the phone rang, and Mario glanced at the phone, and his face changed.
It was a call from the Moscow Politico-Bureau.
Tenet also noticed the movement, and he looked up at President Mario.
"Is it Moscow?"
Mario nodded, took a deep breath, and prepared to pick up the microphone.
His hands trembled uncontrollably.
