Chapter 988: Candidate No. 2

From the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the ninth day of the new year, after so many days of gastroenteritis vomiting and diarrhea, I was finally able to come out and change my text

"We've had the toughest time in the past few years. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info includes the blockade of the West, the betrayal of allies, and even the brink of civil war. However, this is all in the past. The Soviets went through the hardest moments, and we won the last war. Walked out of the shadow of failure. ”

Yanayev looked around, Surkov, Yazov, and Vladimir were all quietly listening to him, and the meeting was silent. They are all the fathers who came to this August 19 coup, and of course, some of them have left here forever.

Akhromeyev, who took Karennikov's place, also appeared in the conference room very unexpectedly, at a meeting that did not belong to him, and some people privately speculated that Yanayev was showing favor to the army, thanks to Akhromeyev and the Ministry of Defense for sending tanks to surround the Supreme Soviet building, so it is not surprising that the figure of the military representative appeared here.

Yanayev's tone was very calm, but every word that came out of his mouth represented the supreme will of the country.

"Our forces are back in Eastern Europe, and those damned traitors have paid the price. I would like to thank all of you for all your efforts, and your contributions will be remembered forever and will last forever. ”

After speaking, the audience burst into applause.

What Yanayev said is no longer important, what matters is that after this coup d'Γ©tat, everyone here will be reborn as a new elite, with the exception of one person, of course.

Comrade Pavlov knew that he should leave here, and even if Yanayev and his colleagues in the August 19 Committee were willing to forgive him for his past, for political reasons, a traitor could never sit in the position of prime minister of the Soviet Union, and his resignation was justified.

"Are you leaving?"

Pavlov nodded, showing a very light expression, "Let's go, the people who should be detained are in the Sailors Silent Prison, what reason do I have to stay here, General Secretary Yanayev, my task has been completed, but some people are not at ease when they see the figure of the conservative standing here, and only when I completely disappear can I extinguish the last glimmer of hope in their hearts." ”

Yanayev asked calmly, leaning against the marble pillar in the hallway, holding a cigarette in one hand, and said slowly, "Where are you going to go in the future?" ”

Pavlov took a deep breath and said, "Return to the Smolinsk region, where I was born, and now it's time to go back." In the past eight years, everything I have done can be regarded as complete, and it is time to hand it over to someone else, and I recommend Comrade Kovalev to be the ......"

"There are already people who have been considered for the post of prime minister of the Soviet Union." Yanayev abruptly interrupted Pavlov's words, "Comrade Pavlov don't worry about this issue, we have made a series of preparations. ”

Pavlov was stunned, but he didn't expect that Yanayev already had a new prime minister in mind.

"The current Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of Belarus, Alexander Grigorievich Lukashenko, will take your place as the new Prime Minister of the Soviet Union."

Lukashenko?

Pavlov's first image is the feat of bringing down Shushkevich's old fox in one go, when everyone rumored that Lukashenko had Yanayev behind him, and now listening to the general secretary's tone to transfer him to Moscow, there may be a deeper meaning behind it. In other words, he's prepared for both.

If Pavlov takes the initiative to resign, Lukashenko will take over the post of prime minister of the Soviet Union as soon as possible, and if Pavlov does not submit his resignation, I am afraid that Lukashenko will also be transferred to the central government.

Although loyal to Yanayev, he is also a traitor to the conservatives.

"Comrade General Secretary has been ready for a long time?"

Pavlov seemed to have relieved himself of his heavy responsibilities and breathed a sigh of relief, "Lukashenko has good ability, if he is allowed to take the position of prime minister of the Soviet Union, it is also deserved, and he is still Belarusian, and he can also gag the mouths of some people - don't say it so ugly, as if the Soviet Union is just the Soviet Union of the Russians." ”

Yanayev did not continue to dwell on the issue of Lukashenko, his recognition of Lukashenko's ability does not need to be repeated by Pavlov, Comrade Lukashenko was originally the second candidate, if this coup d'Γ©tat is unexpected by him and leads to a global collapse, Yanayev will start an emergency filing as soon as possible, and Lukashenko will form a shadow cabinet in Belarus to resist the conservative regime. Of course, this chance may only be one in a million, so the Belarusian dad has no chance to make a big splash in this thrilling coup.

"It was ready some time ago, Comrade Lukashenko, and now you should be on your way to the Kremlin, Comrade Pavlov, I suggest that you should go back and have a good rest and prepare for the handover."

In Pavlov's view, Yanayev at this time seemed a little cold and impersonal, he was indeed a strongman on the issue of power, and Lukashenko just complemented him.

There's nothing more to say.

Pavlov turned around and took one last look at the Kremlin, and soon he would say goodbye to it all, with Lukashenko entering Moscow and leaving the city alone.

"Comrade Pavlov."

Yanayev stopped him from behind, and Pavlov was stunned for a moment.

"Why don't you go to my house for a drink after work today?"

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Even if it is a farewell dinner for you, not in your capacity as General Secretary of the Soviet, but in your capacity as an old friend." ”

A black sedan drove into the Kremlin's parking lot, and a middle-aged man in a black suit got out of the car, straightened his tie and walked in the direction of the Kremlin gate.

A familiar new face always attracts the attention of others, especially such a resolute and composed face, and an equally deep gaze, walking to the door of the office director, the middle-aged man stood at the door and paused and knocked on the door.

Valery didn't look up, just pushed his glasses and said please come in.

The next thing the middle-aged man said made Valery, who was immersed in the pile of papers, instantly raise his head and look at him.

"Hello, Director Valery, I'm Comrade Lukashenko."
