"Seryosha, what are you going to do now?" Sobchak asked worriedly.

"What is the attitude of the international community now?" Seryosha poured himself a glass of wine and asked after drinking it all.

"They are still waiting, but we have already been contacted by Western diplomats in Leningrad and made it clear that the only countries that support us are Iraq and Yugoslavia, but if they don't want to support us, why should they show us favors?" Sobchak replied. To tell the truth, when Seryosha's plane had just landed at the Leningrad airport, Sobchak's first advice to Seryosha was to flee abroad immediately, but Seryosha did not take it.

Now Sobuchak did not know that Seryosha had actually learned about Grachev's intentions through Lebed. Now that the most elite airborne troops of the USSR have taken refuge, what is there to fear. At this moment, Seryosha has a crazy plan, he wants to completely overshadow Gorbachev's popularity, he wants to go back to Moscow.

"Mr. Sobchak, prepare a car for me!" Seryosha got up from his seat and said solemnly to his mentor.

"Where are you going?" Sobchak asked curiously.

"Moscow!" Seryosha replied dryly.

"You're crazy, you're going back to Moscow now? Do you know what Yazov will do to you? Sobchak said anxiously.

"For the sake of the USSR, something had to be done!" Seryosha replied.

"Why? Why are you doing this? Sobchak persuaded bitterly.

"For the sake of the USSR, and for the sake of Russia! If I didn't know Moscow, the country would fall apart! I had no choice! Seryosha said righteously. He is now completely into the play, and even he himself has begun to worship himself. Because Seryosha had just learned about Grachev's defection, Grachev had now left Moscow and was now in Lebed's office. Yazov thought he was going to Leningrad with his troops, but Lebed assured Seryosha that Grachev would give 100% of Seryosha's safety. If such a good opportunity is not taken advantage of, Seryosha's political experience for so many years will be cultivated into the belly of a dog.

Seryosha insisted on returning to Moscow, despite Sobchak's pleadings, and soon a fierce quarrel broke out in their office. Sobchak did not know that Grachev had surrendered to Seryosha. Now this news is known to only three people in the world, Grachev, Lebed, and Seryosha. The office workers working outside the office were alarmed by the sound of Sobchak and Seryosha arguing. They gathered outside the office, listened intently to the argument between the two, and soon they learned that Seryosha was going back to Moscow!

Sobchak and Seryosha had never quarreled so fiercely. And in the end, Sobchak even grabbed Seryosha's sleeve regardless of his identity, and Seryosha was dozens of years younger than Sobchak and had been a soldier, so Seryosha got rid of Sobchak's entanglement, opened the office, and strode out!

Seryosha saw a familiar figure not far away and immediately stopped him. He said to him: "Vladimir, help me gather the journalists, I will hold a press conference in half an hour at the town hall." Also help me get a car! ”

Seryosha ...... You"

"Do as I say, Vladimir!" Seryosha said in an unquestionable tone.

……

Half an hour later, almost all the journalists in Leningrad gathered in front of the Leningrad City Hall, quietly waiting for Seryosha to appear! When Seryosha appeared in front of the media in a suit with three gold stars on his chest. The flash lights on the scene literally lit up the night into a white night. Journalists familiar with the Soviet Union know that Ulyanov was honored once as a Hero of the Soviet Union and twice as a Hero of the Soviet Socialist Construction. And Seryosha's first Hero of the Soviet Union was earned with his life on the battlefield in Afghanistan, and the gold content of it is self-evident. In addition, the two medals of Heroes of the Soviet Union for the Construction of Socialism are also full of gold. One of them is the Moscow Workers' New City project, which is famous even in the world.

"Comrades, I have taken the liberty of taking up everyone's precious time. After careful consideration, I decided to leave for Moscow immediately to have in-depth communication with Comrade Yanayev on a series of events that have taken place in the past few days. ”

After Seryosha said these words, he immediately got into a Gil luxury car, and then the car quickly left the Leningrad City Hall, and the reporters were completely confused by Seryosha's statement, why did Seryosha suddenly want to return to Moscow, could it be that he and Yanayev, Yazov and others had reached some kind of agreement?

However, some journalists noticed the irregularities of the staff of the Leningrad City Hall at the scene. In particular, Sobchak, the mentor of Secretary Ulyanov, sat down on the steps of the city hall with tears in his eyes, crying like a child. On top of that, the rest of the staff seemed to be very upset.

"Excuse me, did Mr. Ulyanov return to Moscow because he reached an agreement with the Moscow Emergency Committee?" A reporter asked curiously.

"No, the secretary said, he doesn't want the country to be divided because of him......"

Seryosha sat in the driver's seat of the car and skillfully drove the car onto Highway 76 to Moscow! In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, he didn't even ask for a driver this time. At this moment, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, and Seryosha had not driven for several years since he arrived in Moscow to serve as deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee. However, once you learn the skill of driving, it is not easy to forget. So Seryosha was not worried that he would not find his way to Moscow.

Just as Seryosha was running along the long road to Moscow, suddenly he saw in the darkness sporadic fires on both sides of the road.

"What's going on, is it the army?" Seryosha was shocked.

Seryosha did not know at all, just after the media announced that Seryosha would go to Moscow alone. Tens of thousands of Soviet civilians spontaneously converged on both sides of Route 76. They expressed their support for Seryosha with their own practical actions. At this moment, between Leningrad and Moscow, the Soviets, with their own piece of patriotism, connected a bright path in the dark night.
