The second half of 1991 was nothing special for the Earth as it had been in billions of previous reincarnations.

However, for the human beings struggling to survive on Earth, it is really a bit of a treacherous. The fate of mankind is like a roller coaster, crazy and unclear.

On 19 August, after secretly killing Soviet President Goto, Yanayev deceived the remaining six members of the then Emergency Committee in a vain attempt to seize supreme power in the Soviet Union.

This kind of plot, which can only appear in Hollywood movies, really happened in reality, which really surprised many people to drop their glasses all over the floor.

And the subsequent plot development is even more twists and turns. Russian President Boris Yeltsin incited the citizens of Moscow against Yanayev's conspiracy, and the armed forces in Russia were on the side of "justice".

Yeltsin had an airborne corps in his armed forces and politically won the support of a group of die-hard Gotu loyalists, and for a time it seemed to have a taste of counteroffensive.

Within a day of the coup, Yanayev's plot was on the verge of bankruptcy. At the critical moment when he was desperate and vainly trying to use force and the horror of the massacre to force the people to submit, the heroic secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Comrade Schenin, appeared in Moscow with the sailors of the Pacific Fleet.

At the meeting of the Emergency Committee, Comrade Schernin exposed Yanayev's conspiracy on the spot. After learning the truth, the remaining six members of the Emergency Committee unanimously decided to strip Yanayev of the post of vice president of the Soviet Union and put him on trial.

And the deceived six unanimously agreed that at the critical moment when the Soviet Union lost both its president and vice-president, only the upright, brave and loyal Comrade Schönin could shoulder the responsibility of leading the CPSU. The Central Committee of the CPSU held an informal meeting and announced that Schönin would take over the post of general secretary of Gotu.

This decision aroused strong opposition within the CPSU, in the union republics and in Moscow, first of all, his appointment was not entirely legitimate, and the Central Committee of the CPSU was full of 17 members, and at least half of them had to support it in order for Schönin to legally replace Gotu as the general secretary of the CPSU. However, the members of this informal meeting, including himself, were only seven people.

Of course, in a short time after that, Lukyanov, as chairman of the Supreme Soviet, stood up and expressed his support for this decision. In addition to Lukyanov, Akhromeyev, who had a wide and far-reaching influence in the Soviet army, also expressed support for Schernin.

The support of the Chief of Staff of the CPSU Central Committee, Kruzina, was crucial to Schernin, which led to his de facto control of the central position of the CPSU's activities, including all the archives, materials and communication channels of the CPSU.

By the 22nd, Schernin had basically mastered all aspects of the work of the CPSU. Of course, this is not because of his strong personality, but because Schönin is not only the secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU himself, but also has the support of Lukyanov and Kruzina, and more importantly, he has the support of Kryuchkov, Pugo and Yazov behind him.

With the support of the KGB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defense, Schönin brought the 55 Guards Division from the Pacific Fleet to Moscow to confront the Tula Corps of the Airborne Forces supporting Yeltsin.

Although the top of the party organization of the CPSU fell into the hands of Schernin, on the other hand, Yeltsin had already completed control over the Russian administration. As Yeltsin's supporters, such as the Taman Infantry Division and the Kantemirovka Division, began to arrive in Moscow one after another, the balance of forces was gradually becoming unbalanced.

At the same time, almost all newspapers circulating in Moscow leaned towards Yeltsin in their positions. Accusations and even rebukes were poured on the CPSU and Schernin, all kinds of conspiracy theories were in vogue, and even the KGB was facing an unprecedented split.

The confrontation between the Russian branch of the KGB and the Lubyanka has become so serious that there has been an exchange of fire in the course of mutual arrest. Pugo's Minister of Internal Affairs was almost on the verge of becoming a bare-bones commander, and his leadership over the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs was completely lost.

Judging by the situation in the Soviet Union as a whole, the end of the August 19 coup did not make the political situation in the fog clear. On the contrary, the August 19 incident does not seem to be the end, but only the beginning.

Moscow, Arbat Street.

It became the forefront of the confrontation between the 55th Guards Division and the Taman Division, with the Lubyanka at the heart of the "Schönin Group" in Moscow and Yeltsin's lair deployed in the White House in Moscow. The central point of the two places is the famous Arbat.

The Taman Infantry Division was admittedly the elite of the Soviet Union, and even more so a die-hard supporter of Yeltsin. The famous photo of "Yeltsin speaking on a tank", below which stands the tanks numbered 110 of the Taman Infantry Division. As Moscow's garrison rapid counter-force, its elite level is certainly at the world level.

However, no matter what kind of elite troops they are, as a violent machine, the army will always be the most expensive toy.

For Yeltsin, he could get the support of the army with all kinds of promises and bribes to the commander-in-chief. But he didn't have any extra money to start this gold-swallowing beast.

At the forefront of this confrontation, the contrast between the two armies can be described as layered.

The muzzle of the T-64 of the Taman Infantry Division was raised high, as if it were invincible. However, the soldiers who operated these war machines were dejected, the uniforms they wore looked quite old, the maintenance of weapons and equipment was not up to standard, and the soldiers exchanged heads and ears from time to time while standing guard.

On the other hand, on the side of the 55th Guards Division, although it is a lightly armed paratroop regiment with no heavy equipment, the soldiers are wearing new and straight military uniforms, and the blue light of the guns and equipment is flashing, and the faces of the soldiers are even more red.

The mental outlook of the 55 Guards Division is really looking at the soldiers of the Taman Infantry Division.

"It's time to eat! It's time to eat!"

Wearing a white apron and writing "Big Mom", the logistics "cook" pushed the stainless steel food truck off the truck. The lid of the giant insulated bucket was lifted, and a rich smell of potato beef stew wafted out.

The soldiers of the 55th Guards Division who stood guard left a squad, and the rest of them lined up in a noisy formation, holding lunch boxes in their hands and began to receive food.

Whole wheat roasted brown bread served with fragrant potato beef stew can make your mouth water. The aroma gradually wafted from the side of the 55th Guards Division to the side of the Taman Infantry Division, and suddenly a rumbling sound sounded in the stomach.

"These bastards can actually eat potato beef stew!"

The dining truck on the Taman's side had already arrived, but it couldn't even guarantee hot food, and only field rations that were unpalatable and doubtful were provided. Field rations in any country could not be called delicious, except for the British army, which was what they usually ate.

Comparing the two sides, the soldiers of the Taman Infantry Division swallowed saliva and were indignant. The standard of food for ordinary Soviet soldiers was 85 rubles per month, which in the sixties would have made the Soviet army a trembling military force that led the world. However, in the nineties, the food standard of the Soviet army still did not change, but the same food standard is now even a bowl of beetroot soup is already a luxury.

Not to mention potato goulash, garrisons like the Taman Infantry Division can't get any good things for smuggling. With such a small amount of 85 rubles, I can't even see a piece of pork on weekdays.

"Look at you, you *** elements who support separatism!"

The soldiers of the 55th Guards Division, who had received the food, came over with a lunch box triumphantly and shouted provocatively: "With your listless appearance, you must lower the muzzle of the gun when shooting, otherwise the recoil will be able to rush you!"

"As far as you look like a ghost, you are also worthy of being called Taman Division!" 55 Someone from the Guards Division was pointing at the back, seemingly quietly, but in fact, he wanted everyone to be able to hear it: "I heard that in the Taman Division, it is now popular to wear briefs." Why? Because briefs can be worn 12 times!"

"Haha, is there such a thing?" The soldiers of the 55th Guards Division erupted in unbridled laughter.

The soldier at the beginning knocked on the lunch box in his hand, hummed and sneered: "You want to be free, okay, what a beautiful thing." But we'd rather have a goulash with potatoes, so let's go hungry first, free warriors. I'm sorry, but on the road to communism, we will go first!"

The 55 Guards Division's quartermaster support is on the accounts of the Pacific Fleet, and the Pacific Fleet has long been fed up and down, inside and out, just by engaging in Sino-Soviet "trade" in these years. In terms of mental state alone, there is simply not a single unit in the Soviet army that can be compared.

Although eating cannot completely determine the combat effectiveness of the troops, poor eating will definitely have a serious impact on the combat effectiveness of the troops. The commanders of the Pacific Fleet also know how their good days come about, and they can be said to be doing their best to maintain their combat effectiveness. In terms of spending money to buy the hearts of the military, he has never been soft.

After coming and going, the soldiers below the Pacific Fleet and the rest of the Soviet army completely pulled off the grade. Not only is there no problem of unstable military morale, but one or two of them have the arrogance of "Lao Tzu is the first in the world".

"Phew!" Another soldier next to him couldn't help but come over and spit when he was halfway through eating: "Taman Division? Do you remember what mission you carried to enter Moscow in 1953? What you are doing now is worthy of the red flag you are flying? Lao Tzu is a member of the greatest and most powerful army of the Soviet Red Army, what about you!"

"The only thing you can get is eternal shame!"
