Chapter 153: The Coup is Over!

(It's two chapters in one, one of which is for the Great Undead.) )

The 8.19 incident is such a big thing, is Jia Lei just a bystander?

Impossible, in fact, Jia Lei made a great effort in it, and Yeltsin was able to stand on the tank and give a speech, which was due to Jia Lei.

It is said that there are two kinds of greatest credit in a coup d'état, one is to save the driver, and the other is to rebel.

The former, Jia Lei, couldn't even think of it.

Even if Jia Lei was willing to risk his life to save him, Yeltsin would not follow a foreign kid of unknown origin, so Jia Lei hit the idea to the counterproduct.

As a foreigner, especially a foreign child, the soldiers' vigilance against Jia Lei was still very low, so Jia Lei took the opportunity to ask Farr and the others to go back and get a large amount of cigarettes, alcohol, and other gifts, and gave them to the soldiers in the car to get closer to them.

In the small talk, Jia Lei inquired that this tank team belonged to the Taman Guards, motorized, and the 2nd Lion of the Infantry Corps, and the reason why the soldiers told Jia Lei these was entirely because the paper they used to cover the tank number had been torn off by the crowd surrounding them.

In other words, all the tanks present have lost their vests!

"Come on, come on, let's smoke a cigarette and relax. Kerr and Boll walked behind Jia Lei with a suitcase, handing out gifts to the soldiers on the tank along the road.

Although Jia Lei did not send many things, only a bottle of wine and a box of cigarettes on each tank, plus two pieces of sugar per person, this was already a good thing in the Soviet Union, where the ruble was depreciated and prices were rising.

Twenty or thirty tanks nearby were almost delivered by Jia Lei, and after receiving the things sent by Jia Lei, the soldiers on the tanks were even more relaxed, even if there were impulsive young people shouting at them, none of the soldiers wanted to pull out their guns.

"Here, smoke a cigarette. Jia Lei finally walked over to a soldier who seemed to be the highest-ranking soldier present and said.

"Thank you!" the officer said, taking the cigarette.

"You look like you're under a lot of pressure, huh?" asked Jia Lei, looking at cigarette butts all over the floor.

"You can see it. The officer said.

"Yes! I see you've been smoking a box of cigarettes for the past half a day, and the floor is full of cigarette butts! Jia Lei said.

"I can't help it, I don't know what to do if I don't smoke! I'm in a terrible state of mind right now, I'm going crazy. The officer said.

"I understand that the duty of a soldier is to obey orders and defend the people! So you're feeling very uncomfortable, aren't you?" Jia Lei said as he leaned against the tank, and the three numbers 110 were written on the tank behind him.

"Yes, that's why I'm so distressed, and I don't know why the people don't understand our good intentions. We are saving this country, and we don't want it to fall apart. "Said officer Sergei Yevdokimov.

"We Chinese people have an old saying that the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear! You are now in the middle of a situation, so you are confused and cannot see the future clearly, but I, a foreigner, have nothing to do with the coup d'état, but can see the situation clearly. Jia Lei said.

"Can you see the situation clearly? Can you tell me what the situation looks like in your eyes?" asked Sergei Yevdokimov.

"Yeltsin will win, and both Gorbachev and the rebels will lose!" Jia Lei said with great certainty.

"Yeltsin will win? How is this possible? He is only the leader of a member state, how can he be compared with the two general barrels?" asked Sergei Yevdokimov.

"We Chinese people have an old saying, those who win the hearts of the people win the hearts of the people! You see, where is the hearts of the citizens present? Who is everyone shouting and supporting?" Jia Lei asked.

When Sergei Yevdokimov heard Jia Lei say this, he immediately stood up and looked around, and sure enough, most of the people present were dissatisfied with Gorbachev and the rebels, but the supporters of Yeltsin, the head of Russia, accounted for the majority.

"You're right, I really did something wrong this time! I'm going to be done for the rest of my life......" Sergei Yevdokimov said regretfully, covering his face.

"I don't think you're done!" Mr. Jia said.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Sergei Evdokimov, puzzled.

"Let me tell you the last sentence in Chinese, knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great!" Jia Lei said.

"I don't understand!" said Sergei Yevdokimov.

****

"What are you looking for me to do? I'm still standing guard! I can't leave my post for too long at this critical moment. Yevkomi asked angrily, and while he was still standing guard, he was hurriedly called out by the Boltors.

"Yevmi, don't be angry first, I also have to look for you because of something important. Bol hastenedly said.

"What's the big thing?

"Of course not, but what I'm going to say is related to the coup. Jia Lei said.

"You? It's not that I look down on you? You're just a foreign businessman, and you can't get involved in such a thing as a coup d'état in the Soviet Union. Kid, don't dream!" Evkomi said.

"I didn't dream, in fact I have a very important piece of information to report to Mr. Deputy Mayor! Jia Lei said.

"Important! What important information?" said Yevkomi, disbelieving.

"I rebelled against a staff officer of a tank battalion, and now he has intentions, and wants to take his tank soldiers to take refuge in you! Do you think this information is important enough?" Jia Lei asked with a smile.

"Really? Oh my God...... This...... This news is so important!" Evkomi was so frightened that the cigarette in his hand fell off.

"So can I see the honorable Mr. Luzhkov now?" asked Jia Lei.

"Yes, yes! Of course you can!" said Yevkomi with a nod of his head.

****

Less than two days later, Jia Lei stood in front of Luzhkov again, but unlike last time, this time Jia Lei was highly valued by Luzhkov.

"Yevkomi has already told me about it, I want to ask you, is what you said true?" Luzhkov asked anxiously.

I stumbled upon the officer, and in casual conversation I found that he was very disapproving of the rebellion, and that he himself was dissatisfied with the decision of the leaders above. He's in a state of confusion!" Jia Lei said.

"Yes, this rebellion came so suddenly, and many people were caught up in a daze before they knew what had happened? Luzhkov said.

"But how did you convince him to join us?" asked Luzhkov.

"How can I have that ability! I just let him recognize the facts from the perspective of a bystander, and it was the great concept of His Excellency Yeltsin that infected him, and he felt that this country would be better only under the leadership of Yeltsin!" Jia Lei said impassionedly.

The highest level of sycophancy is to fight cattle across the mountains!

It will be disgusting to pat yourself directly, but if these meaty words are repeated through the mouth of others, then it will make the person concerned feel sincere.

Yeltsin is a good leader who will bring a better tomorrow to the Russians. Luzhkov said.

"I think the most important thing for us now is to ask you to have a good talk with a staff comrade and ask him to personally swear allegiance to His Excellency Yeltsin. Jia Lei said.

"You're right! This kind of thing can't be delayed, it must be fast! If he regrets it, it will be bad. Luzhkov said nervously.

Then he went to meet the most critical little person in the 8.19 incident, Sergei Yevdokimov under the leadership of Jia Lei.

Jia Lei saw that Luzhkov skillfully made Sergei Yevdokimov, who was still a little wavering, completely fall to Yeltsin, and then led him to meet Yeltsin.

Because of his meritorious efforts in persuading him to surrender, Jia Lei was fortunate to see the scene where Sergei Yevdokimov led the tank battalion that surrounded the Russian White House and declared his allegiance to the leader of the Russian Federation.

It was from here that the scales of victory tipped in favor of Yeltsin!

And then the scene that was broadcast on major world television stations took place, where Yeltsin climbed into the 110th tank under Sergei and gave a speech to the whole world!

Yeltsin's move was highly praised at home and abroad, and the popular support rate immediately soared, and countless Moscow citizens walked out of their homes and came to the door of the White House.

It was the summer vacation, and a large number of students were the first to take to the streets, and later the citizens also came out. Citizens include almost all walks of life, including intellectual, educational, business and corporate communities.

Fifty or sixty thousand Moscow citizens gathered on the square to protect Yeltsin and the convictions in their hearts with their flesh and blood!

And the tanks that were originally aimed at the Russian White House turned their muzzles one after another, changing their muzzles from internal to external!

Yeltsin received a rare military support at this time, while other Yeltsin supporters were still on the road because of the distance.

"Come and eat, everyone, I have prepared bread and meat sauce from Huaxia here, as well as Russian onions and soups. Jia Lei stood by the tank and pointed to several large steamers steaming white-flour steamed buns.

"Thank you for bringing us all food, it's so timely. Because we are on the verge of defection, logistics have cut off our supplies. Sergei Yevdokimov said.

"I'm afraid that even if I don't come, you won't be hungry, right? On the way here, I saw a lot of girls and people coming to bring you food? You are now heroes in the hearts of the entire Muscovites!" Jia Lei praised him.

"Yes! We are heroes! The attitude of these masses towards us is simply from hell in the morning to heaven. Sergei Yevdokimov said with emotion.

"Then I think you should thank me!" Jia Lei raised his head and said to him with a smile.

"I do have to thank you! You saved me and my soldiers from going further down the wrong path. Sergei Yevdokimov said seriously.

"No, you saved yourself! Even without me, you would have figured it out sooner or later......" Jia Lei said meaningfully.

Jia Lei's little butterfly carefully flapped its wings this time, but it only made Sergei Yevdokimov swear allegiance to Yeltsin half an hour earlier......

Historically, without Jia Lei's persuasion, Sergei Yevdokimov still saw the situation clearly and swore allegiance to Yeltsin.

"Why is your Chinese bread steamed instead of baked?" asked a soldier holding a hot steamed bun that had just come out of the pot.

"Because it's not bread at all, it's steamed buns!" Wu Niu said helplessly.

He and his daughter-in-law were helping Su Renfeng sell silk scarves in Moscow, but they were found by Jia Lei, and then Jia Lei threw them a whole cart of white noodles and several catties of baking powder and asked him to come to the square to steam steamed buns...... Steamed steamed buns......

"But Young Master Jia said that this is the bread of Huaxia Kingdom, what is a steamed bun?" another soldier also asked curiously.

In fact, it was not only the soldiers present who were present to get the steamed buns who were curious, but also the Moscow crowd in the square, because they had never seen such white and soft bread before.

"Oh, this white bread is as white as snow, and the white bread I used to eat is black bread compared to him! I'm afraid this is food that only God can eat?" said a soldier in surprise after taking the first bite of the steamed bun.

"Is it really that good?" said the other soldiers, trying to take a bite as well, and everyone began to eat wildly.

"Hiccup!" A soldier was in too much of a hurry to eat and was choked, and Jia Lei hurriedly handed him a glass of water.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, don't choke. Jia Lei hurriedly said, and then he asked Wu Niu's daughter-in-law to serve broth to the soldiers.

"Don't just eat steamed buns, drink some soup!" Jia Lei said.

"Uncle, what does this bread as white as snow taste like?" asked a little boy who was held in his mother's arms.

"It's sweet, and it's all wheat flour in one bite. As he spoke, the soldier broke off a small piece of steamed bun and stuffed it into the child's mouth, and the child immediately puffed out his cheeks and chewed like a little squirrel.

"It's so sweet! This bread is better than white bread smeared with honey!" said the Russian child, who had eaten steamed buns for the first time, in surprise.

"Oh, how can you let our little angel eat steamed buns? Wait, my brother will get you a good one." Jia Lei said.

Jia Lei glanced at the dining spot, picked up a knife and cut a steamed bun in half, then smeared two layers of thick beef sauce on it, sandwiched onions, raw cabbage and a large slice of luncheon meat, and made it into a Chinese-style burger that he used to make and eat by himself in his previous life and handed it to the little boy.

"Wow!" the little boy opened his mouth, took a hard bite, and began to chew hard.

"Is it delicious?" asked the little boy's mother.

"Woo, woo!" said the boy, slurred, his mouth so full that he couldn't hear clearly.

"Can you still eat like this?" said the soldiers present in surprise, and then many people followed Jia Lei's example and began to eat.

"Delicious, delicious!" was full of praise, and Jia Lei was not surprised.

There is nothing that Chinese food can't conquer!

"I think it's similar to the McDonald's fast-food burger on Pushkin Square!" said one of the blonde soldiers.

"Really! Is it the only fast food restaurant in the city?" asked one soldier in surprise.

"Yes!" replied the blonde soldier.

Both Gorbachev and Yeltsin, who were under house arrest, were pro-American, so country M took a wait-and-see attitude towards the current situation in the Soviet Union.

"Come on, come on, after you finish eating, remember to come to me to get dessert and cigarettes." Jia Lei stood on the No. 110 tank where Yeltsin had stood and said, and the soldiers below waved happily to him.

"Stop! Steamed buns are eaten, you can't do this to them. Standing high and looking far away, Jia Lei saw a lewd soldier stuffing two steamed buns into his chest and pinching them lewdly.

Sure enough, even if you change to a foreign country!

Lewd souls can always find a common language.

According to the recollection of a reporter from the domestic news agency

On the morning of August 20, when reporters drove to the center of the city to interview and learn about the situation, the bridge leading to the White House at the end of Kutuzov Avenue had been blocked by barricades.

A bomb-shaped huge balloon floated over the Russian "White House" with the flag of the Russian Federation hanging under it, and seven T-72 tanks of the Taman Mobu Lion were outside the barricade.

Seeing this situation at that time, the reporter felt very strange in his heart, why did the white, blue and red tricolor flag be planted on the tank?

Why is the tank gun not facing the White House but the outside of the Russian White House?

Tankmen and Soviet boys guarding barricades told reporters that the tanks had been dropped under the command of Yeltsin, the Russian general barrel, and had joined the team defending the White House.

The reporter walked across the bridge to the Russian White House, where he saw several tanks, dozens of infantry fighting vehicles, armored vehicles, and military trucks all around. Flowers were inserted on the muzzles of the chariots.

Foreigners and small business owners continued to deliver cigarettes, ice cream, and foreign beer, which was scarce at the time, to military personnel.

"At 10 o'clock last night, Agaev led 5 tanks to the side of the Russian barrel. At 6 o'clock this morning, 50 tanks of the Taman division defected. Lebed Shao Chiang's Airborne Corps was also on our side. A middle-aged female teacher jumped out of the chariot and told reporters that her questions were answered.

There were no officers present at that time, and the reporters of the New X News Agency asked several tank crews, who confirmed the above situation.

"When the Boer stuff is finished, we should go!" Jia Lei said, holding the empty cigarette box, this time he was bleeding profusely.

Not only did he bring the wheat and flour he brought to the square for Yeltsin's supporters to eat, but he also bought a large number of cigarettes, liquor, and candy from the domestic masters and distributed them to the soldiers who surrendered.

"Hey, I can finally go, this day I steamed steamed buns, and I almost steamed myself. Wu Niu wiped the sweat from his head and said.

"What are you steaming steamed buns? I'm distressed here, these cigarettes and wine are less than a dollar in China, and it costs more than a dozen yuan to buy them here. Wu Niu's daughter-in-law said.

"Don't feel sorry for you two, I want to find a way to get the mayor to give you a volunteer medal or something, and when those Maozi policemen see that you want to find fault and fine you in the future, you will show them something. I promise to save you a lot of money, and these furry bear police and customs will never embarrass you again in the future. Jia Lei said with a smile.

"Really?" Wu Niu asked in unison.

"Definitely! Jia Lei patted his chest and said.

August 21, 1991 at 1 a.m. train station

"Boss, why are we leaving now, now is the most critical moment?" asked Kerr, puzzled.

"Kerr, we have a saying in China called Torrent Retreat, we should retreat! I am a Chinese, it doesn't matter if I took advantage of the troubled waters to fish in the troubled waters two days ago, and when things calm down, if we foreigners still jump up and down, we will be suspected of being spies!" Jia Lei said.

"Didn't His Excellency Yeltsin personally meet and praise you?" said Bauer, incredulously.

"You don't know enough about politics, this event is going to turn into a big earthquake that will shatter the entire Soviet Union! Usually a big earthquake of this magnitude will last for two or three years, and we should stay away from the epicenter at this time so as not to be injured by mistake. Jia Lei looked at the night outside the window and said.

"Then we don't have to leave now, can we? at least we can wait until the results come out. Kerr said.

As Russians, they are still very concerned about the future fate of their country.

"The result is not ......obvious," Jia Lei had just said this, and gunshots rang out in the distant city.

"What's the matter? Why would anyone use a gun?" asked the four Kerr, immediately surprised.

The whole car was full of people looking through the windows at Moscow, which was moving away!

"The results are out!" Jia Lei said with a sigh when he heard the gunshot.

****

On the afternoon of August 20, 1991, Kryuchkov, Yazov, and Pugo finally decided to attack the White House in Moscow.

The offensive plan, named "Battle of the Thunder", was carried out by the special forces Alpha group and the Wimpel group, supported by paratroopers, the Moscow Russian special police (fork) reconnaissance unit, the Dzerzhinsky Lion of the Internal Affairs * Army, three tank companies and a helicopter squadron.

KGB Special Forces Alpha Group, the commander in charge of this mission, Viktor Karpukhin, dressed in civilian clothes, went to the vicinity of the White House to look at the terrain and found that it could not be unsuitable for the battlefield.

There are 50,000 or 60,000 volunteers who claim to defend the White House near the White House, most of them are unarmed students, and as long as they shoot at a gun, they don't know how many people will die, and the most likely to be hurt are these middle school students who have not yet grown up, and the Alpha Team commander was forced to decide to abandon the mission.

At about 1 a.m. on August 21, not far from the White House, a column of infantry fighting vehicles* of the Tamanskaya Motorized Lion was blocked in a tunnel by a barricade built by trolleybuses and road clearers.

Dmitry Komal climbed onto an infantry fighting vehicle and attempted to plug the observation hole with a canvas, but he may have then fallen from the infantry fighting vehicle or was shot to his death.

Vladimir Usov, who was present, tried to help him get killed, but there were also eyewitnesses who said he may have been hit by an unintentional ricochet.

At about the same time, a third man, Ilya Krichevsky, was also shot dead for unknown reasons, and several others were wounded, and the infantry fighting vehicle was set on fire by the crowd but no soldiers died.

These three people are the only three victims of this decisive positive change that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union!

Throughout the history of countless countries in the world, only the Soviets would put the safety of the people first, and only three victims were absolutely unprecedented.

Most people also feel that this will be a record for those who have never come after!

It is worth mentioning that there were also 3 indirect deaths in this coup!

The three indirect deaths were former high-ranking government officials who committed suicide after the failure of the positive change.

*****

24 August 1991

Moscow held solemn funerals for Komal, Usor and Krichevsky, and hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to mourn them.

Yeltsin and other Russian leaders and many well-known figures of society spoke at the memorial meeting.

But Gorbachev, the Soviet barrel that had already been rescued, did not take part in this event!

But he issued an order to award the title of Hero of the Soviet Union to the three victims, the last in the entire history of the Soviet Union.

The end of a certain party of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union

On August 24 Gorbachev resigned from the post of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and Ivashko became acting secretary until August 29 and resigned in the same way.

Since then, the Soviet Union has begun to disintegrate...... I want to talk about "Rebirth 1990: The Invisible Rich" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
