"Since the East China Sea Fleet has been dispatched, then this time the matter must be done, otherwise there will be no face!" After Zhang San sighed, he was a little troubled by gains and losses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info《》Friendly hand-hitting
Ye Kai immediately smiled, "If it's really embarrassing, then I'm in front." ”
Having said that, Ye Kai didn't think that he could be embarrassed, especially when he came over this time, he was also on multiple tasks, and picking up nuclear submarines was one of them, but using the depreciation of the ruble to make a big fuss and acquire Russia's energy industry was the main thing behind.
"Second Young Man take a rest first, I'll go and contact Major Bout with the people in the shipyard, and try to go over and have a look as soon as possible." Zhang San said to Ye Kai.
"Hmm." Ye Kai nodded, he did feel a little tired.
Recently, he has been busy with a lot of things, although he is in good physical condition, but the psychological pressure is still relatively large, so the requirements for sleep are also relatively high.
After Zhang San immediately, Ye Kai ate some beetroot soup, ate a few pieces of smoked fish and bread, and rested early.
In the middle of the night, Ye Kai felt a little cold, and when he woke up, he found that the house was a little cold, it turned out that the heating here didn't know when it was stopped, the temperature was very low for a while, and it was really uncomfortable for people like them who lived in a temperate climate.
Ye Kai covered himself with another layer of quilt, and then continued to sleep.
Later, I heard gunshots and some noisy sounds, and when I opened one eye, I could see the distant flames faintly visible through the floor-to-ceiling curtain.
Moscow, indeed, is not very stable!
This sleep was until ten o'clock in the morning, and the same group of naval officers and soldiers who came over were scattered in different places, so there was no direct contact with Ye Kai, and their communication work was controlled by Zhang San and others, which was also to better protect Ye Kai.
Although Russia's national security forces have been weakened to a certain extent and there is a certain amount of confusion, the strength is still not to be underestimated, so the military is very concerned about Ye Kai's security and has made some arrangements.
After Ye Kai finished washing up and had lunch, Zhang San hadn't come over, so Ye Kai opened some newspapers and periodicals provided by the hotel to read, many of which were descriptions of the 819 incident last year.
Actually, many of them are in Chinese, probably to let the guests understand the truth of the incident.
What surprised Ye Kai even more was that this documentary was actually written by a Chinese, and it was a foreign correspondent at that time.
In the early morning of August 19, 1991, the bureau chief hurriedly called the sleeping reporters to a meeting, saying that a long-distance call from Beijing had informed them that Gorbachev had "stepped aside" and that the "Emergency Committee" had begun to exercise its powers. They were shocked and quickly assigned the interview task. After 5 minutes, everyone drove in a car in the direction of central Moscow.
Before their car drove 1 kilometer, they saw an armored car and a military truck full of soldiers parked in front of them, and the reporter got out of the car and asked the officer sitting in the car, why did he come to Moscow?
The officer said only one word on mission, then turned his head away and ignored them.
As their car continued to drive towards the city center, something strange happened, not only did they not see any military vehicles along the way, but also pedestrians were rare.
When they arrived at Red Square, the atmosphere was as calm as usual, as if they had been detached from the current situation, and they asked a few random tourists, all of whom were from other places, saying that they had not heard the news and did not know what the "state of emergency" was.
A few minutes later, they rushed to the White House, the seat of the Supreme Soviet, and arrived one step ahead of the coup army.
They went to ask the guards guarding the White House gate, and it turned out that the guards were still dozing there, saying that they didn't know anything, and the two key locations of the Army General Headquarters and the Department of Defense were also surprisingly calm.
When they arrived at the Kremlin again, they saw that more than a dozen armored transport vehicles had arrived, and the numbers of the military vehicles printed on the bodies of each armored vehicle were covered with blue carbon paper.
Later, many ordinary people rushed out, surrounded the military vehicles, and constantly shouted and cursed at the soldiers on the military vehicles, and the carbon paper covering the car numbers was quickly removed and thrown all over the ground, and the scene was very chaotic.
The coup troops' military vehicles were thwarted from moving, and a small car drove into the White House at a leisurely pace, only to learn later that it was Yeltsin's motorcade.
At that time, they felt very strange, since it was a coup d'état, Yeltsin and his gang should have been arrested a long time ago, how could they watch them enter the White House and then organize a counterattack against themselves?
Later, a joint statement in the name of President Boris Yeltsin, Vice President Rudskoi, Speaker of the Russian Federation Khasbulatov and Prime Minister Siraev was heard from the loudspeakers on Red Square, calling on the people to oppose the military coup and defend the democratic regime.
In the early morning of August 20, the end of Kutuzov Street, between the White House and the embassy of the republic, was blocked by barricades. Outside the barricade were 7 T-72 tanks of the Taman Motorized Infantry Division of the Rapid Reaction Force.
The crossroads leading to the Kremlin on Red Square and Nerima Square have been blocked by the military, the southern exit from Red Square is blocked by iron railings and police cars, and 100 meters away at the head of the Moscow River bridge, seven T-80 tanks, one ammunition truck and one fuel tanker.
But the journalists felt that the signs were not quite right, that this did not look like a coup d'état, but like a defense of Yeltsin.
The muzzle of the tank was pointed not in the direction of Yeltsin's office, but in the opposite direction.
Instead of the sickle-hammer red flag, the red-white-blue tricolor was planted on the tank, and they asked the soldiers on the tank what was going on?
The soldiers told the reporters that Major General Lebed had already led them in changing their flag the previous night, and now they were loyal only to Yeltsin.
A middle-aged female teacher jumped out of the tank and told reporters that at 10 o'clock last night, Major Agaev led five tanks to Yeltsin's side. At 6 o'clock this morning, another 50 tanks of the Taman division defected.
Then the reporter asked several tankmen, and they all confirmed the above situation.
Around the White House, several tanks, dozens of infantry fighting vehicles, armored vehicles and military trucks are parked.
The soldiers and the Moscow girls sat side by side on the tanks, talking and laughing, and the girls wore soldiers' overcoats and put flowers on the muzzles of the tanks.
Citizens and foreign journalists were constantly delivering cigarettes, ice cream, and canned foreign beer to soldiers, and it was a rare pleasure to be able to drink canned foreign beer at that time.
A young man saw that they were foreign correspondents, so he led the reporters to climb the barrier near the wall of the White House, and he saw that the inside of the White House was normal, and the bread in the yard was piled up like a hill, and these breads were thrown by many citizens who were worried about the lack of food in the White House, and they threw it through the wall, which showed that the people's hearts were turned against them.
In front of the Moscow city hall on Gorky Street, leaflets and slogans calling for an indefinite strike until the fall of the junta are plastered on the walls and telephone poles, and most of the content is to spread rumors of the defection of the troops and foreign condemnation of the emergency committee.
On Pushkin Square, only one McDonald's fast-food restaurant is still open, customers line up for two or three hundred meters, and there are more customers than usual in other food stores, and people who are full of fear of the future are rushing to buy flour and eggs in large quantities.
On the television news at 21 o'clock in the evening, the deputy director of the political department of the Soviet army refuted the rumors that the troops had defected, but the situation took a turn for the worse, and the coup troops withdrew to their stations.
The reporter on duty at the branch held that this situation was contrary to the domestic forecast, and he could not make up his mind whether to send the press to China.
In the end, they decided to send the manuscript back to China first, because this is the real situation observed by the reporter on the spot, so they should report it truthfully, and as for how to publish the manuscript, it should be decided by the head office.
After this incident, the reporters also learned about the Soviet Union from another side, and also realized that the CPSU had lost its ability to govern. The coup d'état was set up in a state of emergency committee, and the top figures were in it, but in the end the operation ended in failure, to put it bluntly, in the end, I didn't even know how to defend the regime, and I was full of emotion when I thought about it.
After Ye Kai read these documentary reports, he also felt a little strange, I don't know how these drafts became promotional materials in the Moscow Hotel, could it be that there are also reporters with an unfirm position in the bureau?
Thinking about this possibility, there should still be a possibility, and it is important to know that journalists, especially foreign correspondents, are usually exposed to more things, and it is inevitable that they will be influenced by external forces and eventually waver in their convictions and positions.
He took a notebook and wrote down his thoughts on it, planning to show it to Old Man Ye when he went back.
Although this is a trivial matter, but the impact is still very great, Ye Kai feels that it is necessary to go back and discuss with the old man, for the public opinion propaganda, how to do it, it still needs to be considered, sometimes, there is no benefit in covering up the facts, because when the truth of a matter is concealed or distorted, it is suddenly exposed, then the consequences may be very serious.
Ye Kai always believes that there is no need to deal with the disintegration of the Soviet Union in a low-key manner, on the contrary, it should be a good thing to take this opportunity to launch a larger discussion, summarize the reasons for the failure of the Soviet Union, and make suggestions and suggestions for the reform of the domestic economic and political systems.
He felt that some of the high-level practices of the domestic top were inappropriate, and sometimes they were too weak, and there were many weaknesses in their operational methods, but on the contrary, they were more likely to be used by others and turned into weapons to attack the republic.
The lack of transparency of information and the lack of access to information can fool the public in a short period of time, but the adverse effects are also very significant.
Before Ye Kai's Chinese version of the magazine was finished, Zhang San had already arrived.
