Yazov managed to persuade some of the high-ranking cadres who remained in Moscow to participate in the covert operation, but Seryosha's stay in Kiev disrupted Yazov's plans. Because the Ministry of Defense of the USSR had long known that Seryosha's special opportunity landed in Moscow. Yazov was ready to control Seryosha when he got off the plane. Once Seryosha was controlled, the KGB security personnel assigned by Kryuchkov at the Foros dacha would simultaneously control Gorbachev.

"Why did Ulyanov suddenly stop in Kyiv because he sensed something? No, absolutely not! Yazov was puzzled, knowing that all those who participated in this operation were taking great risks, and if the operation failed, everyone would be discredited as traitors. And the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Yazov and others.

Yazov is now still waiting for Seryosha's next move, so as to make the next judgment. But Seryosha has not left the Ukrainian government's accommodation since he moved in.

Although Seryosha was born in the army, he never cultivated his own power in the army. The only exception is Lebed, who has now been promoted to deputy commander of the Soviet Airborne Forces, and the current commander is none other than Seryosha's old boss Grachev.

Seryosha was very vigilant and used his personal satellite phone to contact Lebed, who was in Tula, and asked if he had received an unusual order from the Ministry of Defense!

"You ask me what are the tasks of the Airborne Forces recently? The biggest task is the joint exercise with the Americans, and we have not received any other orders! Lebed felt that Seryosha's tone seemed to be somewhat unusual.

"Lebed, I think there may be something big going on in the Ministry of Defense recently, can you help me keep an eye on it!" Seryosha vaguely reminded.

"Seryosha, did you hear something?" Lebed could hear that Seryosha was now talking.

"No, Lebed, use this number to contact me if you have anything!" After Seryosha finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Although nothing was heard from Lebed, Seryosha still stayed away from Moscow. Now Seryosha has never been so nervous, and he doesn't know what kind of existence he is in the eyes of those who launched August 19. Whether it is the enemy or the object of wooing.

Seryosha thought about it, and the best choice for himself now was not to go through this troubled water. Only after making sure that Moscow is safe will Seryosha set out to reap the fruits of the August 19 victory. However, Seryosha still has to make sure of the military's reaction.

"Yulia, tell the crew, take off on time tomorrow, and at the same time tell the Ukrainian officials! We canceled our event in Ukraine and are going back to Moscow! Seryosha said these words to his secretary, and then whispered: "Arrange it for me, I will be on the plane tomorrow, but I will leave halfway!" I'm going to Leningrad for a few days! “

"Secretary, what are you?" Yulia asked, confused.

"Don't worry, I just wanted to test it! I wanted to take you away, but you're my side. If you disappear too, it will arouse suspicion in others! But if you don't dare to go, I won't force you to go! I'm going to tell you, there might be some danger this time! Seryosha explained to Yulia.

"For you, I will!" Yulia put Seryosha's hand next to her face and said seriously.

Early the next morning, Seryosha personally expressed his gratitude to the Ukrainian leader, and then Seryosha boarded his luxurious special plane under the escort of a large number of Ukrainian government officials.

The plane took off in full view of everyone and flew in the direction of Moscow.

The ears and eyes of the Ukrainian military watched Seryosha get on the plane, and until the plane took off, Seryosha did not get off again. As a result, the news that Seryosha's plane was going to fly to Moscow immediately reached Yazov's ears. After Yazov learned the news, a hanging heart finally let go. He quickly communicated with Kryuchkov. The troops of the Ministry of Defense were sent to the Moscow airport to wait for the plane to land, and then to capture Seryosha. In the village of Foros in Crimea, a group of KGB, who had received orders, stormed Gorbachev's study and quickly announced to him that he would be placed under house arrest.

However, Defense Minister Yazov ignored a problem: Seryosha was born in the Airborne Forces, and he was the only Politburo member in the Politburo who dared to jump from a height of 10,000 meters. Underneath Seryosha's plane was a huge cargo compartment, inside which Seryosha's special car was loaded. An hour after the plane took off, Seryosha quietly slipped into the cargo compartment below the plane. Here, Seryosha carried a parachute that he had already carried on his back. Then the cargo door at the tail of the plane slowly opened, looking out at the white clouds. Seryosha took a deep breath and jumped off the tail of the plane without hesitation.

When the plane landed at the Moscow airport an hour later. Yazov's men quickly surrounded Seryosha's plane, but when they stepped into the plane and wanted to take Seryosha away, they were surprised to find that Seryosha was on the plane at all.

"Where is Ulyanov?" The officer who had been ordered to come and take Seryosha away asked angrily.

"I don't know!" Yulia yelled unceremoniously.

……

What happened at the airfield caught Yazov off guard, and he did not even think that Seryosha had been an airborne soldier. His people saw Seryosha on the plane with their own eyes in Ukraine. But when the plane landed, Seryosha disappeared. What's going on? Did Seryosha jump off the plane?

But Yazov could not turn back, because Kryuchkov's side had already taken Gorbachev under control. This plan has already begun, and I can't stop hating it. Yazov then ordered the troops to march from Tula to Moscow. At the same time, the troops stationed in Moscow also received Yazov's order to quickly take over all the radio, television, newspapers and other media outlets in Moscow. to cut off the satellite broadcast signal. Cut off all external access to the city of Moscow.

As Yazov gave one order after another, the war machine of the Ministry of Defense began to act. Just after Moscow Television and Soviet State Television were taken over by the military, all the programs were replaced with ballet clips from the Soviet national drama Swan Lake, and then Soviet Vice President Yanayev appeared on television.

"I now regret to announce that President Gorbachev is temporarily unable to perform the presidency for health reasons......"
