Chapter 748: Take off
"Yes, my comrades should have done it a long time ago!"
It was also Comrade Shening, who had just gotten the news from the TV, waving his fists excitedly. He was more aware of the situation in the upper echelons of the Soviet Union, and naturally understood in his heart that the so-called health problems were completely non-existent!
There was no shortage of opponents in the upper echelons of the USSR, although in fact the upper echelons of the CPSU were almost all reformists, but the interests were also very different. For these people in the CPSU system, maintaining the existence of the Soviet Union was the foundation of their existence.
Once the "New Alliance Treaty" is signed, the map head and the top brass of the union republics who hold real power will definitely purge them of these obstructive guys.
In fact, why did Kryuchkov dare to carry out a coup d'état, and really rally the support of almost the entire Soviet Central Committee? Because these current high-level leaders have already booked the telephone poles around Red Square at the head of the map.
If they don't get up and overturn the map, they won't be able to run away from the fate of hanging street lamps.
However, there are still some changes here and in history, and the secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, who was supposed to personally carry out the house arrest of the head of the map, missed the opportunity because he needed to lead a delegation to China.
Kryuchkov got the news too late, and he, the chairman of the KGB Security Committee, even needed to be in the Moscow Press to get the specific text of the New Union Treaty. After announcing the news that the new alliance treaty would be signed on the 20th, the map head rushed to the Crimea for a "vacation" as soon as possible, in fact, to give the other high-ranking leaders of the Central Committee of the CPSU a time difference and cook the raw rice to maturity.
By the time the treaty was revealed on the 15th, Kryuchkov began to gather his men for a coup d'état three days later on the 19th, when Schöningdu had already eaten breakfast in China.
In this way, the fate of Comrade Schernin, who was originally the most staunch organizer of the August 19 incident, was completely changed.
Although he did not become the actual executor of the incident, when the secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Schernin saw the news on television, he was still full of excitement.
In any case, it seems that before the Soviet Union slipped into the abyss of no return, someone finally stood up and turned the tide!
"Please arrange the plane as soon as possible to the Chinese comrades, I must rush back to Moscow. The rest of the delegation can stay here for the time being, whether it's a passenger plane, a helicopter, or even a fighter jet, for Lenin's sake, I can't wait even a minute!"
After thinking for a moment in the hotel suite where he was received, Scherning immediately found the reception staff of the Chinese side and made a request without delay.
As for the reaction of the Chinese side, he was somewhat impressed. Even in this kind of global shock, these foreign affairs personnel are quite calm. Nervous but not flustered, on the one hand, to spread the news, but also to help him pack his luggage in advance, so that he can save time when he leaves.
The director in charge of reception quickly arrived to negotiate with Schönin and said that he had coordinated a business jet for him to get him back to Moscow as quickly as possible.
"Comrade Schernin, please rest assured. The director of the Chinese side looked at his watch and said sincerely: "As long as the coordination with the Soviet civil aviation is completed, the plane will be able to take off immediately." In less than eight hours, you will be landing in Moscow. ”
"Thank you to the Chinese comrades!" Schönin looked a little nervous, but not so flustered, and still managed to maintain the calm demeanor of a Soviet state leader. He shook hands vigorously with the director and directed the Soviet mission around him to start evacuating.
The luggage had already been loaded into the car, and after receiving the director's reply, Schernin did not want to waste a moment, and immediately boarded the car and headed to the airport. As soon as the formalities for the entry of the aircraft from the Soviet side are completed, the plane can take off immediately.
At this time, Nanyuan Airport had already planned a special passage, and the Soviet car drove directly to the tarmac all the way non-stop. At the end of a cleared runway, a Gulfstream III business jet was parked. The plane's engines have already warmed up, and at the first command, they can immediately fly into the sky.
As for the speed of the Chinese response and meticulous arrangements, Schernin seems quite satisfied. It wasn't until he got on the plane that this bald old man from Russia, who always had a straight face, couldn't help but show a relaxed look on his face.
However, things didn't seem to be going so well, and Schönin, who was sitting in a comfortable plane seat, kept raising his wrist to check his watch. I was sure that it was not a delusion caused by my anxiety, but that I had really waited for a full hour, but the plane showed no signs of taking off.
Schining, who frequently looked out of the porthole, had a hint of foreboding when he saw Comrade Director's car reappear in his gaze. Sure enough, in this tense moment, even the slightest thing can lead to unpredictable risks.
"I'm very sorry, Comrade Schönin. ”
The director boarded the plane and did not have time to catch his breath, so he explained the situation to him: "We have never been able to get in touch with the air traffic control of the Moscow side, and you know that there should be a state of emergency there now. It is not clear what kind of state Moscow airports are in. ”
"I am the secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, and I now allow this plane to enter Soviet airspace in my capacity!" Schönin tilted his head towards the cockpit and said, "If you are worried about the safety of the pilot, I can let my assistant fly this plane." I am responsible for any resulting results. ”
"Comrade Schernin, please also understand our difficult ......"
The director groaned slightly, shook his head with difficulty, and said: "The situation in Moscow is not clear, and China's attitude is not to intervene too much. At this time, there were Chinese planes entering the USSR, and our work would be very difficult. ”
At this juncture of the race against time, both sides of the conversation abandoned their usual diplomatic rhetoric and began to speak out. Schönin couldn't say anything about the director's answer. However, the deep disappointment in his eyes couldn't help but be a little moved.
"In this way, we have a compromise. "The director took the plunge and came up with a solution.
"This plane can take off immediately in China, and if the route is changed, let it fly to Fuyuan. At the same time, we will arrange for a helicopter to take you to the border in Fuyuan, where you will cross into the Soviet Union, which is very close to Komsomolsk. You know that the problem of cross-border routes is huge, but if it is the Soviet Union's own aircraft......"
"Okay, that's it!" Schannin waved his hand, immediately interrupting the director's narration, and instantly understood his intentions.
The change of plane will not delay him too much, and as long as Schönin enters the territory of the Soviet Union, his status will have a very large influence. Asking the Far East to send him to Moscow would be very simple. And there is another layer of advantage of doing so, that is, it can completely eliminate the Chinese side from this operation.
In one fell swoop, it bypassed the approval of the Moscow Civil Aviation Agency, which did not know when it would be able to resume operations. For Schöning, every second counts at this time.
"Please rest assured—" Shen Ning finally shook the director's hand vigorously, and said with a straight face: "I will always remember the friendship of Chinese comrades." ”
"Comrade Schannin, I wish you a smooth journey. The director didn't say much to greet, nodded in greeting, and immediately turned around and got off the plane.
The Gulfstream III business jet, which had already entered the best condition, rushed into the sky at the fastest speed.
……
The boundary marker on the Sino-Soviet border was clearly visible on the side of the road, and the army-green Z-9 helicopter slowly landed next to the boundary marker. As soon as the door opened, Schöning, who was clutching his hat and braving the wind, jumped out of the cabin.
On the opposite side of the road, a Ka-25 helicopter was already on standby at the same time.
Schönin ran almost all the way and rushed into the Ka-25 helicopter, which was already a little old. To tell the truth, as the secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, most of the time he was absolutely forbidden to fly such a vehicle that was not as safe as civil aviation.
However, at this time, if he could not give orders directly to the Pacific Fleet, he would have asked the fleet to send him directly to Moscow with a Yak-38 capable of vertical take-off and landing.
Truth be told, if there is only one Russian in the Soviet Union today, it must be Shenin.
It has nothing to do with race or blood, but here we are talking about those "fighting peoples" who can run after bears, spiritual Russians.
Compared with the old army leader Yazov, who could only curse and spit, Schernin was more like a Red Army soldier. Among a group of pig teammates who can't even get a coup d'état, Schönin is likely to be the only GCD......
Not only did he not care about ending the lives of his enemies, but he also didn't care about his own safety. Not to mention the soft bones Yanayev, the difference between the two is at least 0.1 Comrade Stalin.
The rotors of the Ka-25 roared, and Schönin threw all the accompanying staff on the Sino-Soviet border. He strapped himself tightly to the compact back seat of the Ka-25, and suddenly felt a little distracted when he looked at the vast earth under his feet.
Even if they were able to prevent the signing of a new alliance treaty at the head of the map this time, what would be the future path of the Soviet Union?
If the map head was able to push the Soviet Union to a dead end with such impunity, didn't these high-level leaders have the slightest responsibility? Only then did they come to a Jedi counterattack? And even if he was defeated, the terminally ill Soviet Union would not be cured by this. It is precisely because no one can come up with an effective treatment plan that the Mongolian doctor at the head of the map will take advantage of the loophole, right?
Killing the map head is only the first step, the problem is that if he goes down, the mess of the Soviet Union will have to be cleaned up by these people.
Just as Schönin was deep in thought, suddenly the man in the passenger seat of the helicopter turned around and handed him an ear bag.
"Comrade Secretary, you can call me Korolev. ”
