Chapter 769: One Bad Move

Due to the high degree of information closure in other countries of the Soviet Union. In order to study the political situation in these countries, CIA officials www.biquge.info have to carefully reveal clues such as leaders' titles, rankings, and seats from official publications, radio and television, and slogan propaganda, in order to find clues about changes in the political situation. This particular craft is known as Kremlinology. Of course, it also has a more witty name, Kremlin astrology.

For example, after the arrest of Comrade Beria in July 1953, the news about him in the party newspaper immediately disappeared, and the CIA deduced that Khrushchev had won the political struggle. For example, after Chernenko's death, Khrushchev appeared in front of everyone as a "coffin bearer", because he was closest to Chernenko's coffin, and the CIA also noticed that this man with a birthmark on his head would become the future owner of the Kremlin.

No one can do it quietly, and the C.I.A. relies on the clues left behind to determine what is happening within the Kremlin's political walls.

In the same way, the closeness of the people around Yanayev also determines the person's status in the government department, and even in the party. Although Yanayev and US Secretary of State Warren Mina Christopher were having a friendly conversation, this did not prevent those around him from gathering intelligence around the leader.

Charles could see that the six people standing behind Yanayev to the left were Defense Minister Yazov, Minister of Internal Affairs Pugo, Prime Minister Pavlov, KGB Chairman Kryuchkov, and Chairman of the Council of Ministers Comrade Ryzhkov. Standing on the right are Vladimir Putin, the traditionally low-key undersecretary of the Interior Ministry, and Surkov, the CIA's propaganda minister, who is also a headache for the CIA. And the head of the Soviet arms export company, Chemezov, stood in a cold position not far away, watching everything in the conference field.

One is the sword and shield of the Soviet Union, and the other is the minister of the "Ministry of Truth" hated by the free world. It is clear that on one side are Yanayev's comrades-in-arms who fought alongside Yanayev in the August 19 coup, and on the other side are the future successors of the Soviet Union.

"Since the abolition of Pavlov's prime minister and concurrent chairman of the Council of Ministers, Ryzhkov can be said to have acquired at least half of the rights of Prime Minister Pavlov. This also poses a problem. There is also a reshuffle of the division of power. Although Ryzhkov is still at the end of the line, it can only show that Yanayev is more optimistic about Pavlov, and at the same time he is also wary of him, deeply afraid that this old friend will give himself an August 19 incident. ”

Charles silently analyzed in his heart, "The positions of the chairman of the KGB and the minister of internal affairs are obviously not the same, eh? Does this mean that Yanayev is more optimistic about the Ministry of Internal Affairs than the KGB? After all, the Ministry of the Interior has such a powerful army as the President's Defense Armament. ”

"In the end, there are the little-known Surkov and Putin, it stands to reason that the identity of the gray cardinal should be closer to the successor, but why is the **** photographed in front of Surkov? At least I know that this young man was involved in the events in Tbilisi and Beslan, but not to such an extent? ”

"And most importantly, what does it mean to have two young people like this side by side with ****** old men? Logically speaking, the most likely successor should be Pavlov. Now to start cutting Pavlov's power, does it mean that Yanayev will continue to consolidate his power? Could it be that the current Kremlin is calm on the surface, but in fact it is turbulent? ”

The more Charles thought about it, the more successful Yanayev's strategy became. One of the most puzzling things about the spies present was also a means of Yanayev's "anti-Kremlin studies", deliberately using a mixture of true and false information to mislead the thinking of everyone present.

It is true that in the events of Tbilisi and Beslan, the newspaper propaganda distributed all the credit of **** to other people, but **** gained something more important than fame, Yanayev's appreciation. The tough means also made him feel at ease to include **** in the political candidate, one of them.

If Yanayev only supports one political candidate, it only means that he is no different from ********** in some aspects of emotional intelligence, but he also supports one Surkov to form a counterbalance, but it can distract everyone's firepower and hatred. After all, in the original history, Surkov was the most reliable political partner of ****, and the means would not be far behind. Surkov is ****'s most reliable political partner, and his means will not be far behind. Surkov is ****'s most reliable political partner, and his means will not be far behind. Surkov is the most reliable political partner, and his means are not far behind.

dddddd's

So far, and, at the same time, let them accumulate political capital for themselves. Ryzhkov, Pavlov, Pugo, Yazov and other hardliners with real power have not yet ended, and young people can only choose to endure.

And Yanayev's next target to be trained, Mezzov, will be transferred to the Ministry of Defense Industry after the "test" of Soviet arms exports is over, and then slowly wait for the opportunity. Young people don't have to rush to be famous all over the world, there will be opportunities for you to flourish in the future.

And balancing the power between several old men, Yanayev has already begun to act. The next target will be the Minister of Internal Affairs, who seems to be in good contact at the moment, after all, he has a very important armed force in the Soviet Union. Yanayev came to power by relying on the armed forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he also did not want to be ousted by the armed forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although he can support Pu = Jing to become a formal minister, he can't let the **** who lacks qualifications straighten up.

Therefore, the constant weakening of the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the KGB has firmly controlled the army in his own hands, which is the primary goal of Yanayev's domestic policy.

The microphone was sent to Yanayev, who was standing on the stage, looked around at the guests, as well as the dense crowd, and the originally noisy quartet fell silent. Everyone is waiting for the general secretary's speech.

Yanayev sorted out his thoughts for a moment and said, "I want to briefly tell you one thing here today, the United States and the Soviet Union will vigorously reduce chemical weapons, such as mustard-gas, sand-forest, tower-collapse, VX, Soman and other weapons of mass destruction. Respond to the call of the United Nations and human rights organizations to contribute to world peace. ”

At the same time, he extended his left hand to introduce the U.S. Secretary of State, who was standing aside, "We have also reached a preliminary agreement with the U.S. government that both countries will reduce chemical weapons." However, the exact amount will be determined through detailed discussions. That's why we're standing here. This is because it is incumbent upon everyone to maintain world peace and uphold humanity and human rights. "Yes, yes, yes

As he said this, Yanayev glanced at Secretary of State Warren, and when he lied, he was as calm as ever, which is a condition that every good politician must have. Warren smiled and glanced at Yanayev and nodded.

"This is a small step for humanity, and at the same time a giant step for peace in our world." As Yanayev finished his last sentence, the crowd began to applaud, and he also clapped his hands symbolically, and then stepped back to wait for Warren to speak.

Also as a brilliant politician, Warren's speech is naturally impeccable. When he talks about chemical weapons, he just says a bland thank God that we don't have to embrace this stupid weapon that could poison our own people on the battlefield. For at least nearly a decade, the United States stopped using poison gas bombs.

Yanayev heard this somewhat harshly, the last time the United States used chemical weapons on a large scale was in the early days of the Vietnam War, and the Soviet Union most recently in the war in Afghanistan, Warren was mocking the stupidity of the Soviet Union.

Yanayev did not refute him, but smiled calmly, now it is just a warm-up game, and the real competition between the United States and the Soviet Union will be held when the next secret meeting is held.

"Hopefully, the new self-confident secretary of state will be able to deal with our attack in a timely manner." Yanayev pondered silently in his heart. (To be continued.) )
