Chapter 326: Surprise Attack
(The first is that it's time to overcome lazy cancer and work hard to code words, think about a person who has nothing in his twenties and still imagines himself as a writer, and he can't even support himself if he doesn't work hard to code words.) )
As soon as Shushkevich finished speaking, the originally quiet square outside the Georgian parliament building was suddenly broken by the sound of a sharp siren, and the first reaction of everyone in the conference room was to turn their heads to look at the door, which was originally closed by a brute force outside. Soldiers in the uniforms of the Ministry of Internal Affairs rushed into the conference room, and with such a swift movement that barely gave the security personnel any time to react, they snatched their guns from their hands, and then the soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs aimed their Kalashnikov at all the Georgian conspiracy groups that were ready to make a final resistance. Warn the other person not to act rashly.
This time, the KGB dispatched far more troops than the troops of Steiner and Beishvili in rebellion, and there were even many BMP infantry vehicles outside to block the entire square, heavily armed soldiers patrolled back and forth, the access to the outside world was blocked, and the whole square was filled with political suspicion and tension. On this night, the citizens of Tbilisi will feel the terrible effects of the events that took place on them.
This is definitely the most serious political crisis since the August 19 incident in 1991.
The Mi-8 helicopter hovered over the Georgian parliament, the searchlight on the plane pierced the dark night sky, and every suspicious shadow was being explored, this time the Caucasus Military District and the KGB issued an order not to leave anyone behind, so the muzzle of the 12.7mm machine gun carefully searched for the prey that might have absconded, and then gave them a fatal blow.
This time, the net was personally supervised by General Rodionov, who personally landed on the square in a Mi-8 helicopter. The empty Georgian parliament building was littered with heavily defended soldiers. General Rodionov was under the protection of a group of soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Enter the Parliament building.
At the door of the conference room. He saw Shushkevich, who was making a victory gesture at him, and said with a smile, "Thanks to Comrade Rodionov's timely assistance, I was not torn to pieces by a group of desperate and frenzied madmen." ”
Rodionov did not speak, but only despised the triumphant little man from his heart, and then walked into the conference room. The councillors inside were still firmly confined to their seats, and the order had been given that no one was allowed to leave the small room until Rodionov arrived.
When the real power of the Caucasus appeared before them. Everyone's hearts tightened at once, as if suddenly a ferocious and cunning wolf had broken into the realm. Rodionov, a hawk who gained the title of butcher in the Tbilisi riots, is suffocating from the style of the iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck to the size of the Siberian Bear.
After the humiliation of 1989 and the glory of 1991, Rodionov, who was greatly appreciated by Yanayev, became a trump card for the general secretary in the Caucasus, giving him great power. It is aimed at and suppresses those national forces that attempt to split the country, eliminate potential religious extremists, and suppress all forces that want to split the member states by high-pressure and harsh means.
After entering the conference room, Rodionov sat in the position of Shushkevich in front of him, he looked around at the people around him who did not dare to come out, and said with a smile. "I used to say this after dealing with the political turmoil of 1991. After the indulgences of the Gorba-Cuff era, these people will eventually pay the price for their unrestful actions. But apparently some people have not learned a profound lesson, and they think that they can still start a wave of Western liberal movement on Georgian soil, have they forgotten that the times have long abandoned this group of people? ”
No one dared to speak, not to mention Ishvili, the initiator, who did not even dare to raise his head to look at General Rodionov.
"We are very fortunate that the events in Georgia and the Baltic states in 1991 dealt with many people, even some of the relatives and friends of the comrades here, died in what you call the Stalinist purge." Rodionov specially used the word rejoicing, which stirred everyone's nerves.
However, his speech was not finished, and Rodionov said in a small but majestic voice, "I am glad that in 1991 these damned fellows deserved it, that their destruction saved the Caucasus, and that their descendants are like them, ignorant of what they do, and are ready to follow the path of those who deserve it, so that we can completely stabilize the situation in the entire Caucasus." In exchange for the eternal peace of the entire Union Nation, everyone is willing to see such an ending. You are to blame, but we breathe a sigh of relief and take what we need. ”
"Bastard!" Someone finally couldn't take it anymore, got up and wanted to pounce on Rodionov, but was kicked back to his seat by the soldiers next to him, he gritted his teeth and looked at the enemy in front of him, if he could, he would rather die with the enemy in front of him.
"You are like the remnants of the Bourbon dynasty, dissatisfied with our system and wanting to return to the era of replacing hereditary power with capital and controlling the people of a country? Let people create value for a small group of you through their hard work? It's a dream, in the USSR, the power in this country is not what Moscow says, and even more so what you get, but belongs to the people of the entire Soviet Union. ”
"Not only you, but the entire Caucasus will be implicated in your coup d'état." Rodionov said with a sneer.
"Not just because of what our relationship is? Isn't your game not just against us in Tbilisi? Steiner panicked, clenching his fists tightly, trying to keep himself calm. From the moment Rodionov made a tirade, he had a vague feeling that this was a conspiracy and that there was an even bigger conspiracy behind it.
"Do you really think that a Tbilisi rebel group would be worthy of such painstaking design and layout? From the moment we got the letter of complaint from Comrade Shushkevich, we had every reason to arrest all of you and throw them into the secret prisons of the KGB for examination. ”
"But we didn't, do you know why?" Rodionov asked rhetorically.
Steiner, who was not too stupid, understood in an instant, and he stared at Rodionov tightly, as if watching the demon Satan replied in a trembling tone, "Do you want us to start a rebellion and then take the opportunity to stabilize the situation in Tbilisi, oh no, Georgia?" Oh my God, your goal is not us at all, but all of Georgia. Moscow could even use this to put Georgia under stronger control, say, by withdrawing the member states? ”
Hearing this, everyone present could no longer hold back whispering, if this is really the case, Moscow's methods can be described as extremely vicious, deliberately using a coup d'état against Georgia, so that the people of this land will lose the last hope of independence, and completely become a plaything in the hands of the Kremlin.
Rodionov shook his head, Steiner and his group were still too naïve to think that the Kremlin was targeting this group of narrow nationalists? Between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, Georgia, Chechnya, Armenia, and Azerbaijan are all in Yanayev's pocket, and no country is allowed to extend its own influence into it.
"The events in Georgia were nothing more than a trigger for a major change in the Caucasus, and even on the Crimean peninsula, on the Baltic coast, and don't think that the Soviet Union's ambition was to think only of a small Georgia. From picking up the Wahhabis in Chechnya and driving them to the Arctic Circle, is it really just to prevent the spread of terrorism in the Caucasus? ”
At this point, Steiner finally guessed the true intentions of the Moscow side, and if it turned out to be his thoughts, then Yanayev would perform an unprecedented feat, not even in the Stalin era.
"After this incident in Georgia, we will tighten our control over all the member states, yes, by abolishing them and turning them into autonomous regions of the Soviet Union." (To be continued.) )
