At three o'clock in the afternoon on November 1, British Prime Minister John ?? Major had a telephone conversation with US President George W. Bush, and the two discussed Sakhalin.
Britain is an all-weather ally of the United States.
On many international issues, Sakhalin is no exception, and this is the second time that the two sides have communicated.
John?? Major's attitude is clear:
I still mean that Sakhalin independence is more beneficial to us, and it will be able to weaken Russia to the greatest extent after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Otherwise we will face another USSR.
Bush seems to object: You are indeed right, but you should be well aware that Sakhalin has more than 4,000 nuclear warheads.
If Sakhalin becomes independent, another nuclear power will appear in the world.
Unlike Ukraine, Belarus and other countries, we have negotiated agreements with Yeltsin to reduce nuclear weapons.
After the collapse of the USSR, the republics, with the exception of Russia, will not retain nuclear weapons.
But will Tchaikovsky promise to destroy all nuclear weapons? I have already sent someone to contact him, and his ambiguous attitude is very suspicious.
Compared to Tchaikovsky, Yeltsin was clearly easier to control.
John?? Major shook his head repeatedly: No, no, no, I know what you think, you think that Sakhalin's uncertainty is a threat to the United States.
But you should not sacrifice the interests of Britain and Europe.
Even with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia remains the greatest potential threat to all of Europe, and we must do everything we can to weaken it.
Only then can we sleep soundly.
Bush's tone was a little helpless: Okay, I think I already understand your position, but I need a little time to think about it seriously.
And it is also necessary to think of a reason to deal with Yeltsin.
――――――――――――――――
Following the declaration of the CPSU as an illegal organization at the Assembly of People's Deputies of Russia on 23 August and the demand that the CPSU cease all activities in Russia,
Yeltsin issued another order on November 5,
A complete ban on the activities of the Soviet Republic and the Russian Communist Party in the territory of the Russian Federation was declared.
Thus, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which had been in power for 93 years and had been in power for 74 years, had completely collapsed with nearly 20 million members throughout the Soviet Union.
Of course, the collapse of the Soviet Communist Party does not mean that the Soviet Union does not exist.
Although Gorbachev resigned as general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union as early as August 24, he was still the president of the Soviet Union, although he no longer had real power.
By this time, even a fool could see that the Soviet Union could no longer exist.
Also on this day, British Prime Minister John ?? Speaking at an event, Major said: "Yesterday I just met with the special envoy from Sakhalin.
We talked about a series of issues.
Including whether or not to recognize Sakhalin's international status. To this, my answer is yes, Sakhalin's independence is in the national interest of the United Kingdom.
Of course, it is also in the interests of Europe as a whole.
I have already had several telephone conversations with Francois Mitterrand (French president) and Kohl (German Chancellor) on the phone.
We have reached a preliminary agreement.
If Britain, France and Germany, the three most important countries in Europe, support Sakhalin,
Then the United States is also very likely to express its support.
At that time, the major Western countries will support the fact that Sakhalin will be granted de facto independent status, even if Russia opposes it.
And with the military power at the disposal of Sakhalin.
There will be another military power and a nuclear power in the world. Its overall strength is comparable to that of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, etc.
Russia will also be weakened by at least 20%.
How could Yeltsin and other Russian leaders be willing, in John?? After Major made this remark, Yeltsin immediately lashed out harshly.
Accusing John?? Major's words are extremely wrong.
Russia is now in the midst of the most dramatic transformation in more than half a century, and we will redefine Western-style democratic institutions and values.
This is for the benefit of all Russians.
They have been oppressed for too long. We had hoped that Western countries would be able to help us, but now it seems that this is impossible.
Certain people are trying to dismember Russia.
This is what I do not allow with all Russians, and we will have to take all possible measures in order to preserve the integrity of the country.
――――――――――――――――
That being said, there are limits to what Russia can play, and now the struggle with the Soviet Central Committee is in its final stages.
It is not advisable to make extraneous branches.
There is another cruel reality that he must face, and that is that he has been difficult to ride a tiger.
Even if he wanted to stop now, those who followed him and the forces he represented would push him on, and he couldn't help it.
And if he insists on withdrawing,
Not only is it equally impossible for the Soviet Union to come back from the dead, it is highly likely that he will die and someone else will take his place.
This is the reality and cruelty of political struggle.
While Yeltsin was preoccupied with the Sakhalin issue, the KGB reported something that was enough to rekindle his anger -
There are traitors in the top of the KGB!
Osipov, the head of the 6th Directorate of the KGB, who was responsible for counterintelligence intelligence reconnaissance at the Defense Industry Targets and Scientific Research Center, defected.
And took away a large number of materials from the KGB and the technical data and technical personnel of several design bureaus.
Among them were Rostislav Belyakov, chief designer of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, and I.D. Spaisky, chief designer of the Ruby Design Bureau.
The two national treasure scientists were arrested by Osipov a week ago.
In the name of providing top-secret technical information to foreign forces. Three days later, they left the USSR with Osipov, and their whereabouts are now unknown.
And the headquarters of the 6th Bureau of the KGB also caught fire on that day.
The entire headquarters was burned to the ground.
According to later investigations, the fire was clearly deliberately set on fire, resulting in the death of hundreds of people, most of them so-called prisoners held in dungeons.
But it does not include Osipov, Belyakov and Spaisky.
In addition, many top scientists, such as Tupolev, who were previously imprisoned in the underground prison of the headquarters of the Sixth Bureau, were not included in the deaths.
That is, they are also missing.
This incident is undoubtedly extremely serious, and you must know that both Belyakov, Tupolev and others are national treasures of the Soviet Union.
Now they're all missing.
Even now the KGB is in the stage of civil strife, but it is still organizing forces to conduct investigations, and finally some tangible results have been achieved.
In the report to Yeltsin, the whereabouts of Osipov were clearly pointed out.
Hong Kong!
And it is said by name that Hong Kong tycoon Wei Xiong may be behind the scenes, and those missing scientists may be hidden by Wei Xiong somewhere in Hong Kong.
Including top scientists such as Tupolev, the number should be more than a hundred.
The exact number of people is still under investigation.
As for the specific technical information that Osipov took away and how much it was, the report said that the time was too short and it was still under investigation.
After reading it, Yeltsin was so angry that he almost tore the report to shreds.
According to the report, it is very likely that Osipov betrayed two years ago, but for such a long time, it was not discovered.
He also took advantage of his position to do so many things.
Thinking of so many national treasure-level scientists and top-secret technical data falling into the hands of foreigners, he felt a sense of anger burning in his heart.
This anger was no less than when I first heard of Sakhalin's independence.
As a brilliant politician, he certainly knows the importance of Tupolev and others to Russia, even more than most.
He almost ordered the KGB to assassinate Wei Xiong on the spot.
But in the end, I held back. For the same reason, now that we are in the final stage of the struggle against the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, it is not appropriate to make extraneous problems.
You must know that Wei Xiong is not an ordinary rich man.
If it was really assassinated by the KGB, it would inevitably cause an uproar around the world. What's more, there are still many things that have not been clarified.
After much consideration, he simply ordered the KGB to investigate the whole matter as soon as possible.
……
Osipov withdrew to Hong Kong more than half a month later than scheduled, passing through Egypt and Vietnam to avoid being tracked.
When Wei Xiong saw the big gift that Osipov brought him, he almost didn't laugh three times.
I.D. Spaisky, Chief Designer of the Ruby Design Bureau, Steislav Belyakov, Chief Designer of the Mikoyan Design Bureau,
Vyacheslav Shuvalov, Deputy Chief Designer of the Central Institute of Machine-Building Research,
In addition, Sergei Kuzhugetovich Chirkov, deputy chief designer of the Tikhomilov Institute of Instrument-Making, is a national treasure scientist.
In addition, there are five at the level of chief designer.
From the 1st Moscow Design Bureau (electronics), the Northern Design Bureau (ships) and the Marine Equipment Design Bureau (nuclear reactors).
Among them, Speith and Kibelyakov were directly named by him.
In addition to these top scientists in weapons and equipment, there is also a medical scientist, Igor Ivanovich Korvanov.
This person does not work for a university or a hospital.
It's the KGB!
He is a top medical scientist in the field of cranial nerves, affiliated with a secret research and development institute under the KGB, and TX3 is his work.
And according to Osipov,
During the secret capture of Korvanov, he ordered the laboratory to be burned down, including all the technical materials stored in it.
Naturally, this also includes the technical data of the TX3.
In other words, from now on, the KGB will no longer have the ability to make TX3s, and all they can use is what they have on hand.
Apparently, Osipov also considered the capabilities of the TX3 to be terrifying.
Otherwise, before retreating, he would not have secretly captured Korvanov at the risk of being discovered and burned down the laboratory.
Osipov's ambitions can also be seen from this.
Because it was a complete evacuation, this time Osipov scraped all the things that could be looted, and there were four full boxes of technical data alone.
Almost all the old bottom of the Soviet Union was dug out.
Only Osipov, director of the Sixth Bureau of the Sixth Bureau, who is in charge of counterintelligence and intelligence reconnaissance work of national defense scientific research institutes, has such great ability.
To put it bluntly, it is a self-theft.
No matter how capable the intelligence agencies of other countries are, they will have to steal one or two pieces of information at best, and they will have to take huge risks.
It is said that in the past two years, Osipov has not only guarded and stolen himself, but also performed his duties.
Because of the chaos in the Soviet Union, espionage activities in the Soviet Union were particularly rampant, and one of their main targets was technical information.
Even if it is as strong as the United States, it is very interested in some of the top technologies of the Soviet Union.
For example, rocket engines and nuclear submarine manufacturing technology, the Soviet Union is not only no worse than the United States, but even surpasses it.
Of course, it is much more than the United States that is engaged in espionage.
There are also the United Kingdom, France, Germany, South Korea, Japan, China, North Korea, India, etc., including almost all major countries in the world.
With such rampant espionage activities, many people have naturally been caught.
There were also a few Chinese spies, but all of them were later released, and the others were not so lucky.
The fire that Osipov set when he evacuated made everyone charred.
After listening to Osipov's introduction of Spacety and others one by one,
Wei Xiong waved his hand and asked them to be taken down to rest, and the four large boxes of technical materials were also taken away, leaving only Osipov alone.
Wei Xiong happily raised the red wine and gestured to Osipov.
smiled and said: "Mr. has worked really hard in the past few years, I toast you, and at the same time celebrate the foreseeable glory of Galaxy Aerospace." ”
The two glasses touched each other lightly, making a clinking sound.
After taking a sip of red wine, Osipov said directly: "Now that I have completed the task, I hope that Mr. Wei can fulfill Wei Xiong's promise." ”
Wei Xiong shrugged his shoulders lightly: "Of course, from today onwards, you will be the commander of the East Factory." ”
When planning to build the East Factory, Wei Xiong had an agreement with Osipov that Osipov would lead the East Plant, and Wei Xiong would not ask about specific affairs.
And according to Osipov, the East Plant will serve only Wei Xiong.
It is precisely on the basis of this agreement that Osipov will spare no effort to carry out the task assigned by Wei Xiong, and even delay his evacuation by half a month than expected.
You must know that the KGB is already suspicious of him, and every day of delay is more dangerous.
Hearing this, Osipov's face immediately showed a smile, but this smile did not last long before being replaced by a frowning brow.
"But before that you need to take a break. ”
Wei Xiong still had a smile on the corner of his mouth, but what he said made Osipov feel unusual: "What do you mean by this?"
At this time, Yoshiko Fujita, who was standing on the side, walked towards Osipov.
Osipov's face sank, and his hand quickly reached into his clothes and pulled out a pocket pistol the size of a palm, but Fujita Yoshiko was faster than her.
As soon as he pulled out his pistol, he felt a flash in front of him, and Yoshiko Fujita was in front of him.
Then he clicked on his chest.
Then...... He found that he couldn't move, as if he had been immobilized, and the pistol he had just pulled out was raised in mid-air.
It's not that they can't all move, at least their eyes and mouth can still move.
Although he was an executive of the KGB, he had never seen or experienced such a strange thing, and he would inevitably feel a little scared in his heart.
But he tried to keep himself calm.
"Mr. Wei, what do you mean by this? Do you want to break the agreement?"
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Wei Xiong's mouth: "Do you think I will put the intelligence agency in the hands of an ambitious person?"
Osipov replied with a sneer:
"Now the operation of the East Plant relies on my network, without me, do you think Garchikov would still be loyal to you?"
Wei Xiong cocked Erlang's legs and said slowly, "Do you think I will take you down if I'm not sure?"
Hearing this, Osipov was stunned: "Did you use TX3 to hypnotize them?"
"No way, they're all injected with antibodies, and TX3 doesn't work for them at all. ”
It is said that after the TX3 was developed, the KGB top brass saw that it was a double-edged sword, which could greatly compete for the strength of the KGB.
It is also possible to be exploited by the enemy.
Because Dr. Korvanov has developed an antibody to TX3, as long as the antibody is injected, even if TX3 is ingested by mistake, it will not work.
Most of the top of the USSR and the top of the KGB were vaccinated with this antibody.
And in order to ensure that the people sent to Hong Kong to set up the East Factory would not be controlled by TX3, Osipov specially inoculated them with antibodies.
It is precisely because of this that he has always been confident that Wei Xiong will not dare to backtrack.
But the truth is clearly not what he thinks.
Wei Xiong lit a cigar, took a leisurely puff, and said with a smile: "Nothing in this world is impossible, especially for me. ”
"Of course, you do have a lot of credit, so I'll continue to let you take charge of the East Factory. ”
When Osipov saw the evil smile on the corner of Wei Xiong's mouth, he immediately had a very bad premonition in his heart, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
"You can't do this to me, I've done so much for it, and I promise to be loyal to you. ”
He has realized that Wei Xiong has another way to control people, and listening to what Wei Xiong said, he will obviously be the next person to be controlled.
This is something he can't accept in any way.
In his original vision, taking command of the East Factory was only the first step, and then he would take control of Wei Xiong and take over everything Wei Xiong owned.
Including wealth and women.
Then use Wei Xiong's wealth to develop and expand the East Factory, and build the East Factory into a powerful intelligence agency that can influence the world situation.
In his view, this vision is entirely possible.
But it's a pity that Wei Xiong is not an ordinary person, and his ideas for ordinary people are of no use to Wei Xiong at all.
The result is self-immolation.
Wei Xiong smiled slightly: "I said, I will fulfill my promise to make you the leader of the East Factory, but I just need you to rest for a while." ”
