Chapter 952 took a sharp turn
The next day soon came, and Jing Jian's house arrest life was still as usual, but there was more Jom by his side. It's just that Jom doesn't look at his eyes very much, if his appearance is still passable, Jing Jian may still have a little tolerance, but he actually looks like that? That hurts his character, do you know? Fortunately, Nona came to "neutralize" it from time to time, which made Jing Jian not completely lose his appetite.
There were still many soldiers coming in and out of the manor, but Marshal Muko hadn't been back all day. In this regard, Nona did not hide it, and said to Jing Jian in a casual chat: His uncle is busy stabilizing the situation.
However, the excitement of the first day had disappeared, and even Nona's face was sad. For conservatives, the situation has become worse and worse, and various opposition forces have begun to fight back wildly.
Dinner was served in Jing Jian's room, and two guests also came, Nona and Jom. At this time, these two people have no intention of such a strange combination, while having a meal, while watching the latest report on TV intently:
The United States and other Western powers completely rejected the actions of Yanayev and others, and expressed their support for Gorbachev and Yeltsin, and at the same time announced the suspension of economic aid to the Soviet Union and put pressure on the Soviet State Emergency Committee.
β...... US President George W. Bush, who is on vacation in Maine, held a news conference on his vacation and issued a statement: "Obviously, this is a disturbing development that will have serious consequences for Soviet society and for relations between the Soviet Union and other countries, including relations with the United States......"
"There is a general strong rhetoric in Western societies. The leaders of the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Australia, and other Western countries have made public speeches condemning the National Emergency Committee. And clearly expressed support for the current president of the USSR and the leader of the democrats, the president of Russia. In addition, a complete termination of aid to the USSR was announced......"
β...... The State Emergency Committee issued a new decree stating that the decree issued by the President of the Russian Federation, aimed at seizing the powers of the highest authorities and administrative bodies of the Soviet Union and giving the executive bodies of the republics the competences of the organs of the Union, is contrary to the Constitution and the law, and obliges all the powers and governing bodies of the Russian Federation and their heads to "absolutely implement the decisions of the State Emergency Committee of the USSR ......"
β...... The commander of the garrison of the city of Moscow announced the introduction of a curfew in Moscow from 23 o'clock to 5 a.m. on August 20 ......"
β...... The mayor of St. Petersburg delivered a televised speech in which he harshly condemned the actions of the State Emergency Committee......"
β...... The State Emergency Committee demanded that the Russian Radio and Television Committee obey the leadership of the All-Union Radio and Television Company......"
β...... The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR revoked the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia on the transfer of hundreds of armed cadets of military academies to Moscow......"
β......β
The news is dazzling, making everyone's hearts feel like a roller coaster, constantly going up and down. Of course, Jing Jian's state of mind was calmer, and Nona and Jom seemed nervous, although their nervous things were diametrically opposed.
"Why are there so many hostile elements?" Nona looked dazed, and asked such a question in front of the two of them.
Jing Jian and Jom glanced at each other, and then continued to eat. At this time, it is not good to answer anything, it is better to simply pretend to be dumb.
"You say, is there still salvation for the Soviet Union?" At this moment, Nona looked quite weak, and even burst into tears of obvious pessimism.
Jom was still pretending to be stupid, and Jing Jian couldn't bear it. He put down his knife and fork and comforted: "You have a huge land, rich resources, and great people. In any case, your country will become the most influential country in the world. β
"But what now, do they really want to bring down the country?" Nona Chu Chu looked at Jing Jian pitifully, as if she wanted to give herself psychological comfort from his words.
Even if Jing Jian knew, he would never say it. Not to mention that the current Soviet Union has accumulated so much that even the gods cannot save it. In this year alone, the national economy of the Soviet Union fell by more than 10 percent, and the Soviet people, who were reformed and reformed by your leaders, became worse and worse, and the people of the Soviet Union, who had also changed, were extremely resentful.
Jing Jian could only smile and comfort: "It's better to watch TV, maybe there's some good news." β
Unexpectedly, the next news became more and more intense:
β...... About 50,000 marchers gathered by Russian leaders and their supporters gathered around the Russian parliament building, saying they wanted to defend it. The number of strikes by Siberian coal miners has increased. They demanded: Meeting with the Supreme Leader of the USSR within 24 hours, conducting a medical examination of the Supreme Leader within three days with the participation of experts from the World Health Organization and making the results public, lifting restrictions on the activities of all instruments of public opinion in Russia, cessation of the state of emergency in the Russian Federation during the non-regular meeting of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation on 21 August, withdrawing troops to their places of origin, ensuring the unhindered exercise of the powers of the President of Russia, cessation of threats against the Russian leadership, ensuring their inviolability and free access, dissolving the State Emergency Committee of the USSR and revoking all its orders and decisions......β
β...... Lukyanov met with Rudskoi, Khasbulatov and Silaev, and promised to guarantee the normal conduct of the meeting of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation on 21 August, the return of troops stationed in Moscow to their original positions, and the guarantee that the Russian leadership would not be threatened......"
β...... The Russian president issued a statement that he began to take over the armed forces on the territory of Russia, declaring null and void all orders issued by the Minister of Defense of the USSR after August 18. The Soviet troops and KGB troops deployed on the territory of Russia were ordered to stand by in place, and all units that left their places of origin must return immediately. Yeltsin also appointed the new commander of the Leningrad Military District......"
β...... The mayor of Moscow and Leningrad openly opposed the USSR State Emergency Committee and supported Yeltsin. Lukin, chairman of the State Affairs Committee of the Supreme Soviet of Russia, said at a press conference that about 70% of the leaders of the organs of local power support the Russian leadership......"
The situation took a turn for the worse like an avalanche, like a farce, and the coup d'Γ©tat seemed to have met with all-out opposition before it had even begun.
On television footage, spontaneous soldiers of the citizens of Moscow brought food and water, they stopped in front of tank armored vehicles, planted flowers on the muzzles and muzzles of guns. Suddenly, there was a large close-up of a young soldier, and under the persuasion of the surrounding citizens, his young face seemed dazed......
