"Why should I believe that you are from the U.S. Embassy, if this is a trap, I will be finished?" Even in the face of the most dangerous circumstances, Lukyanov still did not lose his ability to think. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The info crisis only made him a little flustered, but he was still in a state of absolute calm.

The voice on the other end of the phone was particularly gloomy, and he sneered and said, "Look out the window, do you have any other options now?" When they lose patience, they will know what true cruelty is. Although I don't know why they didn't just move the White House, maybe you still have evidence of their fears? ”

"This is the price offered by the CIA, you give evidence in exchange for our right of asylum, from the moment you step into the US embassy in Moscow, you are on US soil, the Soviet Union does not dare to do anything to you, you can rest assured. Comrade Lukyanov, you should know that the United States has such strength to provide you with asylum, and then our CIA side will specially design a bureau to let you escape. There will be absolutely no doubt about it. ”

Lukyanov also sneered and said, "Oh? Is it? What about escaping to the U.S. Embassy? If Yanayev orders an attack, will your forces be able to resist it? I can tell you that he will command the Taman Division to storm the embassy, kill your men, drag me out of the safe house, and maybe even execute me in front of the ambassador. Don't doubt it, the general secretary did this kind of thing. ”

The voice on the other side paused for a moment, then said slowly, "Then we will have a fair reason to rally allies and start a war." ”

Although Lukyanov did not believe what he said, he had no choice but to try his luck. Sitting here, the final outcome is either lose or die, and you still have a chance to survive by escaping from the embassy.

However, he was not optimistic about the final result, and the Americans did not realize that his so-called secret was nothing more than Prime Minister Pavlov. But Lukyanov wanted to increase his stakes and deliberately said, "If you want me to give you the secret, this secret is related to the secret communication methods of all missile silos in the Soviet Union, even road missile launchers." It's enough for you to change the tide of the battle. But I have one more condition, only when I set foot on American soil can I really hand over the secret to you, and you will not get anything until I am not safe. ”

"I agree to your request."

The other party agreed very happily, "So how are you going to come over?" I guess you should have a small number of armed forces ready for the coup, right? But with just such a few people, it seems that Comrade Lukyanov will not be able to break out of the encirclement at all? ”

"Of course I can get out, and I'm swaggering."

Seeing a glimmer of light, Lukyanov clenched his fists, he grabbed Pavlov beside him, and said fiercely, "Now that the Prime Minister of the Soviet Union is also in my hands, if the Taman Division and the Dzerzhinsky Division do not let me out, I will execute Pavlov in the White House in front of Moscow TV." ”

With the Prime Minister of the Soviet Union as a hostage, only Lukyanov dared to do such a shocking act. The other party seemed to believe what he said, and said directly, "Okay, if you can get to the door of the U.S. Embassy, we can provide you with shelter, and if you can't, I'm sorry, just as if this conversation never happened." ”

Then he hung up the phone abruptly.

Lukyanov sat down on the ground, crying and laughing. Unexpectedly, the last person to help him was actually the biggest enemy of the Soviet Union.

If he could survive as a traitor, he was willing to try.

Rudskoi also heard the other party just now, he looked at the other party with a pale face, and stopped talking. It is clear that he vacillated between the two options of Hero of the Soviet Union and traitor to the state. Originally, he was a communist fighter who won the title of Hero of the Soviet Union in the war in Afghanistan, but he did not expect to become a traitor who betrayed his homeland today.

"Are you going with me? General Rudskoi. ”

Lukyanov asked, in fact, taking Pavlov hostage could not be done by him alone, and it was necessary to use the strength of Rudskoi's army to escape.

"If you come with me, you won't die at least. Even if you become a traitor to this country, you can still survive in the free world, and if I'm not mistaken, the money you have stored in an overseas bank is enough for you to squander the rest of your life in the free world. There is no shame in fleeing from Moscow, be realistic, my dear comrade, it is more important to live than anything else, did you think the same thing when you were arrested in the war in Afghanistan? Otherwise, how could you have survived so long in a prisoner of war camp for guerrilla fighters. ”

Rudskoi still did not act, he hesitated.

"Or if you are going to die here, Yanayev will also take back all the honors, including your title of Hero of the Soviet Union, General Rudskoi. Follow me is the right choice. ”

Rudskoi finally sighed and took a step forward. He had no choice. Realistically, going to the U.S. Embassy is the last resort.

"Don't try to escape, don't even think about it."

Pavlov did not know when he broke free from the rope, stood up, stopped in front of Lukyanov and said, "The whole country will not forgive you, Comrade Lukyanov." If you step into the U.S. Embassy, that's the biggest mistake you're making. ”

As if correcting a child who had made a mistake, Pavlov scolded the other party sharply, "You are betraying the Motherland, betraying the Soviets, and no one will forgive you for your actions." ”

"I didn't betray the Motherland, I just wanted to live, and it was the same for you, Comrade Pavlov. We all just want to live well! ”

"Shut up, if it weren't for your ambition to launch a coup d'état, how could you have ended up in the current situation."

Rudskoi hinted with a look that before Pavlov's words could be finished, two soldiers twisted their hands and pushed them to their knees, and the whole person fell down.

Lukyanov's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said in a cold tone, "What I do, you don't care." ”

While there was a lot of fuss about betrayal in the White House, they didn't notice that the shelling had stopped. Yazov did not order the Alpha squad to storm the White House, because he thought of a better way.

Lure the snake out of the hole.

The phone call to Lukyanov was the bait he had set, and now it was only necessary to wait for the most fatal mistake to be made by those who had no way out.
