"Assassination of Yeltsin, I heard you right, right? Comrade Yanayev, I will never agree with you making such a mess. Baklanov, deputy chairman of the National Defense Committee, was the first to oppose Yanayev's plan, "We only need to restrict Yeltsin's personal freedom, and then coerce him to hand over his rights and resign from his post, there is no need to use assassination." ”

"Childish." Yanayev glanced at Baklanov and asked a question that left him speechless: "Yeltsin was able to bring more than 100,000 supporters from Moscow's Akademgorodok to the racecourse to hold a big parade, and only to protest the Pravda report that he was drunk in the United States." Who in this room can do that? Restricting Yeltsin's personal freedom, I am afraid that before the news reached the Kremlin, Yeltsin had already raised a resistance team to support him. ”

The historical August 19 martial law and the plan to assassinate Yeltsin were only separated by one day, which led to the final tragedy. At the moment of the beginning of martial law, Yeltsin acted faster than a cheetah, inciting the masses who did not know the truth to make trouble in the streets.

"I believe that Yeltsin was a man who understood the overall situation, after all, it was he who assassinated the president...... "Taro Dubtsev, chairman of the peasant union, still has a trace of illusions about Yeltsin. And Yanayev completely interrupted everyone's last retreat.

"Guys, guys, listen to me." Yanayev raised the videotape that Yang had been hiding in his hand and said indifferently, "The videotape in my hand was given to me by Comrade Jenolano and recorded the news of Gorbachev's assassination. If you hesitate, weaken and compromise in this way, Yeltsin has a chance to continue to grow and develop. Now the news of President Gorbachev's death has not been released, and the people have no knowledge of it. But what if I change the message in my hand to the fact that the Emergency Committee assassinated Gorbachev? At that time, Yeltsin's supporters will grow geometrically, and we will be completely in the abyss of the enemy of the people. ”

"What do you want to do? Is this a threat to us with defeat in battle? Don't forget that you are also a member of the Emergency Committee! Pugo said vigilantly.

Yanayev shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not a threat, it's just a matter of uniting everyone." Look at our Emergency Committee, a plate of loose loose sand. There are no chapters, no purpose, and I am just leading everyone to get the Soviets through the most dangerous moments, all, is there any other problem? ”

Everyone was silent, and Yanayev's aura calmed everyone, as well as those hesitant changemakers. Now that the entire conference room had become his home turf, Yanayev began to gush about the battle plan and the plan, "The current battle plan is to quickly move troops into Moscow for martial law, implement a wartime state, and the commissars of soldiers who dare to disobey orders have the right to shoot them on the spot." ”

It was the army's rapid entry into Moscow that gave Yeltsin and his followers an opportunity to counterattack.

"When the state of emergency order is issued after the army is stationed in Moscow, we have to catch Yeltsin off guard, and the tank company will surround the White House as quickly as possible, surround it without fighting, and surround the White House to the fullest." Yanayev impassionedly published his battle plan, and when everyone did not have a clear plan, Yanayev's plan was their only option.

"Surround but not fight, why?" Yazov asked suspiciously.

"Killing people is not what tanks are supposed to do, tanks are responsible for maintaining order and stability, what we have to do is to use all public places at the gate of the White House, on Red Square, to tear apart Yeltsin's hypocritical face! The curtain was erected, the video recorder was brought with them, and the video tape material was made public so that the people could know Yeltsin's true intentions. Yanayev raised the route in his hand and said fiercely. Rather than killing, he prefers to punish the heart and kill people together.

Politics is a good show of lying, and no one questions Yeltsin's motives for assassinating Gorbachev, and no one thinks about why the guards were able to bring toxins into the Foros villa. Perhaps someone will take this into account after the turmoil has passed, and the only thing the people believe at this time is that the assassin they saw with their own eyes was sent by Yeltsin.

Facts, many times, are not the same as truth.

Yanayev then discussed with the members of the committee the details of the emergency martial law and announced the dismissal of the meeting, which would be issued in the early morning of the next day, while Yazov was responsible for coordinating the mobilization of the tank units of the Guards Division tonight, and everyone came out of the meeting with bloodless faces, everyone knew that tonight would be a calm night before the storm, and tomorrow, the political situation in the Soviet Union would be turned upside down.

"May Comrade Lenin bless the Soviets." Interior Minister Pugo said in his heart as he stepped out of the conference room, and it was already dark, and the Kremlin was brilliantly lit in the night. He looked at the fire, the country like a terminally ill polar bear making its last struggle, and he couldn't help but add, "The Soviets should not have fallen, if we lost, the socialist movement really lost." ”

"Comrade Yazov and Kryuchkov, please stay." Yanayev stopped Yazov, who was about to leave. Yazov turned around and asked, a little puzzled, "Is there anything else?" Comrade Yanayev. ”

"As for the assassination, I would like to discuss it with you now, and you will call General Achalov and General Negan Agyev to discuss this matter by the way, and I will come up with a solid battle plan by 12 o'clock." Yanayev laid his hands flat on the table and waited for Yazov's answer. In the historical assassination of Yeltsin, Negan Agyev, who was an agent of the KGB, and Acharov, who was an agent of Yazov, happened to be the supreme commander of the operation.

"Yes, I'm going to get Negan." KGB Chairman Kryuchkov was as docile as a sheep in front of Yanayev, all to blame for the bloody massacre he witnessed last night. At least let him know that Yanayev is tougher than the others.

"Assassination? It's enough to have the KGB's Alpha group, and why do you want people from the War Department to get involved? Yazov did not understand why Yanayev had left himself behind.

"We need to mobilize at least two helicopters, five tanks and armored vehicles, and a special forces force of more than 20 people to complete the mission. And, from now on, we don't enable alpha groups anymore. Yanayev took a deep breath and said slowly, "I have prepared two teams from the GRU and are on standby at the KGB stronghold on Lenin Avenue. ”

"Why not use Alpha? Infiltrating the White House is the easiest option to succeed. "Yazov does not understand why Yanayev made such a decision, there is clearly the best and, at the same time, the most convenient to mobilize, but he does not use it.

Kryuchkov, who was on the sidelines, interjected, "Because the Alpha team was attacked by a mob last night and all of them died." After speaking, he smiled helplessly at Yazov.

"Are you going to give them all ......," Defense Minister Yazov immediately understood the meaning of Kryuchkov's words. Cold sweat began to ooze from his forehead, how many small movements did the vice president, who had been elected to the position of chairman of the committee, do behind their backs.

"None of this is the point of discussion, the fate of these people was decided from the beginning of Alpha's allegiance to Yeltsin. Also, who said that I was going to block Yeltsin at the White House tomorrow? If we have to wait until tomorrow to do it too late, I will do it tonight, which is Yeltsin's death. "Yanayev is finally ready to take the most crucial step in the overall plan. The news of the coup d'état will deliberately reach Yeltsin's ears tonight through some channels, when the panicked old fox will surely escape from the heavily guarded dacha to the White House, and the road leading to the White House is his grave.

Yeltsin must die!
