16 August 1991

Jia Lei deliberately got up early in the morning and went out with Kerr with big dark circles on his face, and he made an appointment to meet Boer in the tavern today.

"When did you arrive?" asked Jia Lei as he walked over to the table.

"I've been here for a while, and this is Yevkomi, my former colleague, who now works in the city government. Bauer said.

"Hello, Mr. Yevkomi! Jia Lei stretched out his hand and said.

"Hello, Young Master Jia, I'm glad to meet you. Yevkomi said.

"Bol told me you wanted to see me, don't you know what's the matter with you?" asked Yevkomi.

I am a businessman who has opened a foreign trade company in Shuangchengzi, and I recently have a batch of grain in my hand that I want to sell. However, you also know that the Soviet Union is now very strict with the grain sector, and the management of the places below is now very chaotic! There are always people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail! I want to know a few Russian officials through you, so that the people below will not dare to blackmail me. Jia Lei said bluntly.

"As I know, there are indeed some people who like to extort foreign businessmen. In this way, our deputy mayor's attitude towards businessmen is okay, and I will help you ask him when I go back today to see if he has time to meet you. Yevkomi said that he now works in the security department of the city government.

"Yes, thank you so much! Jia Lei hurriedly took out a box of Chinese cigarettes and handed it over and said.

Yevkomi took the cigarette, put one in his mouth and lit it, and put the rest in his trouser pocket.

"You're a good kid, you're very sensible! I'll definitely mention your matter to the deputy mayor when I go back." Yevkomi said.

"Can you mention today that my grain is piled up in the dock warehouse, and it costs a lot of rent a day. Jia Lei said.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, the mayor is very busy, and he's quite assertive, even if I mention him, he won't necessarily see you. Yevkomi said.

"It doesn't matter if I don't agree, I mainly want to get to know the mayor, so that it will be easier to do business in Moscow in the future! Jia Lei hurriedly said.

"Thank you? Then I'll think about it. Yevkomi said with a cigarette in his hand, he was very interested in what Jia Lei said about thanking him.

In the cigarette box that Jia Lei handed over just now, there were US dollars rolled into cigarettes, which were a thousand yuan.

On August 17, 1991, in a secret KGB stronghold, Yazov, Kryuchkov, Pavlov, Schernin and other senior Soviet officials gathered together to plot a seizure of power, and they informed Yanayev and others of their plans.

It was after this meeting that Yazov and others decided to "negotiate" with Gorbachev.

Jia Lei found a suitable Chinese word to describe this so-called negotiation - forcing the palace!

＊＊＊＊

August 18, 1991

Jia Lei got his wish and met the current deputy mayor of Moscow, Luzhkov. He was a great mayor, the most familiar stranger of the Chinese in Russia.

In 1987, Yeltsin was appointed first secretary of the Moscow city party committee by Gorbachev. Then he transferred Luzhkov from the post of head of the chemical department to chairman of the Moscow City Executive Committee.

Later, when Yeltsin was dismissed from his post as secretary of the city of Moscow because of his opposition to Gorbachev, Luzhkov continued to serve in Moscow, but he was demoted to the sidelines.

When Yeltsin made a comeback in 1991, Luzhkov followed him back to the center of power.

In June of the same year, Luzhkov and **fu jointly ran for mayor and deputy mayor, Luzhkov became deputy mayor and head of Moscow city administration, and **fu became mayor.

Don't look at Luzhkov's current status is not high, but Jia Lei knows that he is a key figure that Russian businessmen will compete to curry favor with in the future, and Jia Lei just wants to take advantage of him before he soars.

Jia Lei doesn't ask for a deep relationship, as long as he is familiar!

＊＊＊＊

"Hello Mr. Mayor, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Jia Lei said warmly as soon as he entered the door.

"Well, are you the Chinese grain merchant that Yevkomi mentioned?" asked Luzhkov, still bowing his head and approving the papers.

"Yes, let me state first! I am not a grain merchant but a foreign trader, and my trading company deals mostly in the Soviet Union in the form of clothing, textiles of all kinds, and some fruits. Because my hometown is in the border trade zone, it is very convenient to operate these. Jia Lei said.

"What are you doing, I don't care? The main reason why I asked you to come here today is to see what an eleven-year-old grain merchant looks like?" Luzhkov said, looking up at Jia Lei.

"Huh, you look younger than 11. Luzhkov said.

"Hmm...... Compared with the Russians, we Chinese people look tender, even if they stand together at the same age, whether it is height or appearance, they must look two years younger than you. Jia Lei said embarrassedly.

"Well, it seems to be true. After Luzhkov finished speaking, he picked up another document and looked at it.

"You seem to be busy, shouldn't I bother you?" Jia Lei asked tentatively.

"It's okay! I know about you, and I've told me everything. I welcome you to sell grain in our country, after all, the most scarce thing in our country is food. I know a good deal about merchants, and as long as you don't set a price that is too excessive, and doesn't cause outrage among the citizens of Moscow, no one will be embarrassed by you. Luzhkov said to Jia Lei.

"Mr. Mayor, don't worry, I will definitely not cause public outrage, I have always paid attention to the willingness of both parties in my business, and I will not raise prices. Moreover, my grain is sold to nomadic tribes in the mountains of Siberia, and it will definitely not cause public outrage in the cities. Jia Lei hurriedly said.

"Since you are doing business in Siberia, why did you come to Moscow to find me?" Luzhkov finally stopped his pen and looked up at Jia Lei and asked.

"The people in Siberia are so poor that they will buy some grain at most, but this time I helped a relative buy some grain and sold it locally to earn some pocket money! Jia Lei hurriedly said.

"Yes, you're very discerning. Moscow is the best city in the Soviet Union!" Luzhkov said with satisfaction after hearing Jia Lei's answer.

"Of course, I believe that Moscow will become more prosperous under the leadership of you and Lord Yeltsin!" Jia Lei hurriedly patted his ass.

"Haha! You're right, when I have a chance in the future, I will definitely pass on your evaluation to Mr. Zongtong. Let him know that even foreign children are confident in his leadership skills. Luzhkov said with a smile, and Jia Lei also smiled when he heard this.

At 16:30 on August 18, 1991,

Bakranov, Schernin, Borkin, the head of the KGB guard chief Plekhanov and his entourage came to the Foros dacha in the Crimea.

Opened by Plekhanov, they smoothly entered the heavily guarded dacha, and as the head of the KGB guards, he had the power to give any orders to any outpost, and Gorbachev's chief of guards had to follow the order to let them go.

At that time, Gorbachev was resting in his nightgown, and when he learned that someone was asking to see him, Gorbachev was surprised and said: "I didn't invite anyone!"

He decided to call the deputy general manager Tongyanayev to ask why, but he realized that all the calls were not working. In fact, all telephone lines around the villa, including doctors, cooks, and other staff, were cut off.

Dozens of minutes later, Gorbachev finally received this group of uninvited guests, and he understood very well that these people were not good!

"The country is in the midst of a catastrophe and no other measures can save it, and they have set up a state of emergency committee to sign a general decree on the implementation of the state of emergency," Baklanov said. ”

Gorbachev categorically rejected his offer!

"If you don't want to sign the decree of the chief copper, then hand over the power of the chief copper to Yanayev!" Baklanov saw this.

"Go and rest, we're going to do this dirty thing, and then you can come back. Someone said.

Gorbachev angrily rejected the offer!

After being vetoed again, these people are in a hurry!

"Then you resign!" someone shouted.

This was the end of the conversation, and the crowd parted unhappily and immediately left.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Baklanov and Borkin returned to Moscow, and they informed Kryuchkov and Yanayev of the progress.

Guards who had been replaced, armed with submachine guns, surrounded the Foros villa and blocked every exit. A regiment cut off the airstrip of the airfield with two tractors, where two Gorbachev's special planes were parked.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, the KGB special forces "Alpha" group surrounded Yeltsin's dacha on the outskirts of Moscow, but did not act further.

At 4:30, Yazov sent a secret telegram to all the deputy ministers of the Ministry of Defense and the four commanders of the major military districts, ordering all troops to enter a state of readiness for battle.

In the early morning of the 19th, just after the big bell on the Kremlin bell tower had struck six times, Soviet television and radio stations simultaneously broadcast an explosive news:

Gorbachev ceased to perform the duties of chief copper for health reasons, and according to the Constitution of the Soviet Union, Deputy General Copper Yanayev acted as chief copper, and all powers of the state were transferred to the State Emergency Committee of the Soviet Union.

＊＊＊＊

At the same time, Jia Lei was huddled with his bodyguards two streets away from Yeltsin's villa, shivering.

"Oh my god! I'm freezing to death, it's only August, isn't it? It's so cold at night in Moscow. Jia Lei said.

"Boss, we're much colder here than you because of the latitude, but we're used to it. Why don't you warm up with hot water? Kerr handed Jia Lei a glass of water and said.

"Boss, it seems that my former colleagues have given me the right news, and these people really dare to make a coup d'état!" said Boer, looking at the soldiers in the distance with a telescope in surprise.

As soon as Boer returned to Moscow, he was sent by Jia Lei to have a relationship with his former friends and colleagues, and Boer relied on Jia Lei's continuous supply of money to greet his former classmates and colleagues to drink and eat every day, and he has become closer to many people in a month.

As soon as Yeltsin's villa was surrounded at 4 o'clock today, someone called to remind him that the situation outside was tense!

When Jia Lei heard the news, he immediately jumped up, began to pick up the things that had been prepared a long time ago, and hurriedly began to assemble them, and others thought that this was his temporary idea.

"They make a fuss with them, let's just watch, we're coming over after they split the winners, now let's not go over, if someone gets too nervous and shoots us off, it will be bad." Jia Lei said to the four Soviet bodyguards, and everyone nodded immediately.

"But what are we waiting for, boss?" asked Kerr, puzzled.

"We're waiting for the winner! Whoever wins, you all put their slogans on this red flag, and then we'll go over to them and pretend to be their supporters. Jia Lei pointed to the flag he had spent ten minutes sewing out of a piece of red silk.

This flag is very ugly, it is a simple flag that is sewn in the front of a large rectangular red silk, and then a long stick is inserted in it, and it is improvised to assemble a simple flag!

In order to show that he didn't know about this kind of thing before, all things were only prepared raw materials, and Jia Lei pretended to be as if he only knew after the incident!

Then he can start caring about this matter justifiably, like most ordinary people.

Early in the morning of August 19, 1991

"Dad, get up, there's a coup d'état!" Yeltsin was woken up by his daughter from her sleep.

Yeltsin didn't believe it at first, and he said to his daughter: "What's the matter with you, what are you kidding?" Yeltsin told his daughter that he did not believe it was true at first.

Soon, Yeltsin's chief of the guard Korzhakov rushed to the villa and began to set up sentry posts around the perimeter, and the head of the Russian government, Rishilaev, and other dignitaries immediately came to meet him.

The TV in the villa was able to receive programs normally, the phone was working fine, and even the fax was unblocked. The coup d'état was either too confident or too stupid.

Yeltsin and everyone drafted the "Letter of the Russian Leader to the Citizens", calling for the urgent convening of the People's Congress of the Soviet Union, the return of power to Gorbachev, the cancellation of all resolutions of the State Emergency Committee, and the holding of an indefinite general strike across the country.

At this moment, the 1st Division of the Tula Airborne Forces, led by Grachev, had arrived in Moscow. Yeltsin had a smooth conversation with him and won the support of the other party.

Yeltsin already felt that going to the White House (the Russian parliament building) would turn the tide more than staying at home. His proposal was opposed by his aides, who could be ambushed at any moment when he went out.

The crowd even found equipment and asked Yeltsin to disguise himself as a fisherman in order to slip along the Moskva River in a small boat. Yeltsin ignored these suggestions, greeted his supporters outside the door, and then drove straight to the White House in a special car escorted by the guards' submachine guns.

The strange thing is that Yeltsin went all the way unimpeded. It turned out that "Alpha" did not receive any order to explicitly arrest Yeltsin.

＊＊＊＊

"Yeltsin is out, follow along!" Jia Lei saw Yeltsin go out and immediately mixed in with the supporters outside the door, holding the largest, reddest and brightest flag in the crowd and began to wave the flag and shout.

"Long live the Russian people! Long live freedom!" Kerr and Boer, their four bodyguards, surrounded Jia Lei and shouted loudly with their fists raised.

The big red flag in Jia Lei's hand, which reads Long Live Democracy, is particularly conspicuous among a group of bare-handed supporters, and it is so conspicuous that Yeltsin specially waved his hand to Jia Lei before getting into the car to express his gratitude.

"Thank you for your support of me, I will not let the plot of these traitors succeed, and I will definitely oppose it to the end no matter what. Yeltsin said to the supporters below.

At this time, Kerr and the others around Jia Lei became even more excited, and they shouted Yeltsin's slogan together with other crowds and ran after Yeltsin's car.

"You idiots stop me! Can you run on two legs on four wheels?" said Jare, pulling Kerr by the hand.

"And what are we going to do?" asked Burr excitedly.

"Isn't our car still parked over there, let's drive up immediately, and we will always support Yeltsin! Now is the time when he needs us the most!" Jia Lei said waving the big flag in his hand.
