Chapter 540: The Expected Next Step

The fourth update

The atmosphere in the Kremlin's office became solemn, and only Kryuchkov and Yanayev were in this office, and the secrets they spoke of were only known to a small area of the upper echelons, and Kryuchkov was the only one who knew about Yanayev's overall plan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I really can't think of any other tricks for the Americans, General Secretary Yanayev. They have already withdrawn the aircraft carrier from Turkish waters and even sent only one Secretary of State, Madeleine, to negotiate with Mazyer. But you don't have any chips in your hand, that's too much to say, right? "Kryuchkov racked his brains to analyze where the Americans would place their next move. But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he always felt as if he had overlooked an important step.

Yanayev flipped through the documents and said to Kryuchkov without raising his head, "The Americans will only look for the most useful chess pieces." Which piece of the Turkish situation do you think is most exciting for the CIA? ”

Kryuchkov thought for a long time, clapped his hands in a flash of realization, and said to Yanayev, "Could it be that their new pawn is the Kurdistan Workers' Party?" No, now that Öcalan is a person who has been politically asylum in Moscow, how could he agree to cooperate with the Americans? Moreover, the United States is also a staunch supporter of the Turkish government. ”

"The problem is that the world has changed." Yanayev sighed, closed the file on the table, and gently pushed him aside. Days of intense work have brought Yanayev to the point of maximum fatigue. He desperately needed rest to recondition his body and regain his energy.

"The United States supports Demirel's pro-Western regime, and as for the somewhat ambiguous military, the Americans will not give him a good face. Moreover, the Turkish army's control of the situation does not meet the expectations of the United States. So the Americans need to put pressure on General Mazyer. At this time, the Kurdistan Workers' Party was his best choice. And one of the things that we negotiated with General Mazyer was not to let the southeastern part of Turkey unrest. ”

Yanayev was talking to Kryuchkov with his eyes almost closed, and Kryuchkov saw Yanayev looking tired, and specially lowered his voice, "Then how to deal with the problem of the Kurdistan Workers' Party?" ”

"How long has it been since Öcalan contacted you?" Yanayev asked coldly.

Kryuchkov was caught off guard by Yanayev's question, he thought for a moment and then gave a cautious figure: "We have not been contacted for more than three weeks since we told the PKK to wait for the right moment. ”

Yanayev suddenly opened his eyes, turned back to Kryuchkov and said, "That means that since the coup d'état, Öcalan has not been in contact with the KGB in Turkey for more than five days?" ”

"Yes." Kryuchkov nodded, not understanding why Yanayev suddenly brought it up.

"Oh no, it's really not good." Yanayev got up from his chair and leaned back on the table to think about the problem, "According to Öcalan's character, he will definitely be eager to contact Moscow after the Turkish coup, and Öcalan will seize this perfect opportunity to riot." But five days had passed, and he still hadn't moved. What does this mean? ”

"Is it ......" Kryuchkov's eyes rolled, and he quickly guessed what Yanayev was going to say, "Is it because the PKK wants to seize the opportunity to go it alone, so it is not ready to go directly through Moscow?" ”

"But what about the funding of their activities? Moscow, however, has cut off financial aid as a precautionary measure. If Öcalan wants to start a large-scale riot, he needs financial support. Then the most likely thing that remains is that he has already received the money from somewhere else, and the person who is most likely to pay for the money is ......" Yanayev was in a somewhat upset mood, and he almost ignored this step of the Americans.

"It's the CIA." Kryuchkov said the answer, and he felt a little scared when he thought of this, not thinking that one of the hole cards he had in his hand might have quietly become someone else's hand. It is no wonder that Yanayev has been stressing that he must keep abreast of the movements of the PKK at all times to prevent accidents.

Yanayev said solemnly, "Comrade Kryuchkov, now I need you to confirm something. Using the pawns planted by the KGB within the PKK, there is really intelligence on whether there is any preparation for an attack. If there is, it will be fed back to the Kremlin immediately. ”

"I see, General Secretary Yanayev."

Kryuchkov did not dare to delay for a moment on this issue and immediately got up and returned to the Lubyanka. He needs to personally supervise this kind of intelligence feedback work, otherwise the stone hanging in his heart will never fall. He glanced back at Yanayev and whispered, "General Secretary Yanayev, you haven't had a good rest for almost a week, it's time to take a break." We're all worried that your body won't be able to take it anymore. ”

Hearing Kryuchkov's words, Yanayev turned around and said to him with a smile, "This matter has not been resolved, how can you sleep peacefully." You go and get busy with your business first, Comrade Kryuchkov. I'd like to think about it quietly, huh. ”

After Kryuchkov left the room, Yanayev slowly sat down on the sofa. He was indeed very tired, and a good rest had become a luxury at this time, and he wanted to squint, but this red republic needed to support itself, and if even he fell, then there was really no navigator.

A portrait of Comrade Stalin hangs on the wall of the office, which Yanayev himself chose in that position. Next to it are Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko, except for the missing portrait of Gor-Ba-Chev. Stalin's portrait is surprisingly placed in the center. As if to correct the mistakes made during the Khrushchev period.

"The leader of steel is long gone."

"But the will of steel will eventually be inherited."

Yanayev's memories of the past had become blurry, but this sentence was deeply imprinted in his mind. That's why it's what has sustained him so far. Indelible faith, as well as iron will and spirit. From Stalingrad to later Moscow's Red Square, countless people have laid the foundations of a great republic for this great faith.

Yanayev is the Guardian of the Republic, and he stands in the position where the country needs it most.

Not a step back.

Until it falls. (To be continued.) )
