Chapter 915: A Monster Loyal to the People
The dispute between Pavlov and Yanayev eventually ended with the prime minister's concession as a compromise. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
During the years when Yanayev was busy intriguing with President Mario, only Pavlov silently supported the general secretary behind his back, following the policy of reform and gradual economic easing to cushion the situation in the Soviet Union and ease internal contradictions and pressures.
He and Ryzhkov were once regarded as the two troikas in the Soviet Union, but now they have gone to the opposite side of Yanayev because of the problem of their position. Something has changed, as Yanayev and Pugo put it, "When the loyal guardian degenerates into a powerful man of profit, I will choose not to hesitate to do it." Perhaps no one can guarantee that anyone will be as loyal and selfless as Suslov or Akhromeyev. But at least don't stop me from moving forward. β
It was because of this incident that Pugo was willing to help Yanayev with his party purge plan.
Pavlov promised the General Secretary that the political team would rein in the interference of the reform faction and fully supported the handover of Comrade Vladimir. The condition was that Yanayev raise his noble hand, spare the group, and ensure that no prison would befall the patriarchs.
"Deal."
The conservative faction's concession ensured that Pugo would not be subjected to backlash and repression in the future.
"But I can only guarantee that I won't use conservative members for this period of time, and it's none of my business what the leadership team will do next after I retire. But when the time comes, the guy who can see the form clearly should also take the initiative to step down from that position, and those who firmly grasp the power and are unwilling to let go, naturally someone will clean them up. β
The two men, who had also been carved by the wind and frost of the years, looked at each other silently at this time. The two, who celebrated their birthday together on the night of August 18, 1991, have begun to part ways.
"The last question, did General Secretary Yanayev treat Comrade Pugo as an outcast from the very beginning?"
Pavlov suppressed his anger, even though the sacrifice of political interests was inevitable. But he couldn't bear to be treated like this by a person whose power had been continuously weakened by the general secretary since 1991 and had not even complained a word.
"Would you believe me if I said that Comrade Pugo did it voluntarily?"
The sudden rhetorical question made him lose his proportion, he had imagined many excuses, but he did not expect that the Minister of the Interior, Pugo, was so great that he was willing to sacrifice everything.
"Even if there is a group of moths around us, we can't deny that there is always a small group of people with ideals and beliefs who sacrifice everything for this country."
Yanayev also sighed, "Pugo's sacrifice is enough, and I will definitely not let the conservatives lift a finger on him again." If anyone had done anything to him because of the deaths of Anatoly and Luzhkov, he would weigh his weight and not be able to move the Supreme General Secretary of the Soviets. β
"Please go back and tell them, although this sentence is a bit rude, but I still want to say that if Pugo is missing a finger, I want their whole family to be buried."
"I understand, thank you for the noble hand raised by the general secretary."
After receiving Yanayev's assurance, Pavlov was also relieved. The other party is not so ruthless that he wants to dissociate himself from him.
When he left the office of the General Secretary, Pavlov suddenly had a very strange feeling in his heart, it seemed that all this was not as simple as he imagined. He carefully recalled the whole story of the incident, and at the beginning, some people even prepared a desperate struggle to break the net. A coup d'Γ©tat was a last resort, and they were definitely no match for Yanayev, who had absolute power and prestige in the army.
But after he stepped into the office, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the other party easily agreed that he would not continue to expand the cleaning surface, and he would stop after cleaning up some small roles.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and even he thought that this negotiation was easy and unexpected. Let him feel that the other party's inaction is a noble hand to them.
"Could it be that from the very beginning he was only thinking of a small purge, and he was only deliberately making a huge noise, so that we would mistakenly think that there would be a big purge to follow. He first pushed everyone into a desperate situation, and when he was about to break the net, he gave the gang a ray of light. The conservatives naturally agreed to Yanayev's request in order to survive, so that the resistance to their attempts to prevent the next leader from succeeding to the throne disappeared, and the conservatives secretly rejoiced that the new leadership transition went smoothly...... They all thought they had won...... In fact, it is all in the plans of the general secretary......"
Pavlov recalls the moment he walked out the door, seeing Yanayev's eyes and smile with indescribable meaning. It's like he's mocking someone.
He stood in the hallway, cold.
It turned out that this was the real purpose of Yanayev, and they were completely calculated. Former comrades-in-arms and comrades were also calculated by him, thinking that it was a purge of the tiger and the snake...... It turns out that the anticlimactic is his real purpose......
Pavlov looked back, he no longer had the courage to knock on the closed door, perhaps inside he was laughing insolently, laughing at the success of his plot, laughing at the other party for stepping into his trap completely.
Pavlov sighed and said slowly, "No one can calculate him anymore...... General Secretary Yanayev, your hand is even more shocking than the purge of Comrade Stalin back then. β
Yanayev sat in his office and breathed a sigh of relief. "Maybe Pavlov will see through my true thoughts in a few days," he muttered, but the conservatives have no chance of turning back." If they dare to go back, the next step will not be a small-scale purge, but a real purge from Moscow of all those who stand in the way of reform. β
Politicians' promises are as cheap as a bitch's chastity, but when it comes to balancing interests, they don't dare to break their promises.
Sniffing his nose, the smoke-filled office really made him feel tight.
Yanayev wanted to go out on his own, to stand outside Red Square to clear his mind, and the intrigues of the past few days had been physically and mentally exhausting.
After leaving his office in the Kremlin, Yanayev sat alone on the banks of the Moscow River, quietly watching the river gradually become bright and colorful at night. The glittering buildings on both sides have transformed the river that flows peacefully in the darkness into a sparkling bond, and although the curtain of silence has fallen on Red Square, a new round of killing drama is slowly unfolding in the city.
The cleaning has begun.
Moscow, which had been calm for a long time, ushered in turmoil and unrest, and soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to frequently shuttle through the streets and alleys, imposing martial law on the entire city. The people are anxiously discussing whether there will be any changes in the upper echelons of the Moscow government that will lead to the current situation.
Infantry chariots accompanied by soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs armed with Kalashnikov rifles moved through the streets, and the orders given directly by Comrade Vladimir were to carry out the targeted elimination plan.
After nightfall, the silence of Moscow was broken by the sound of gunfire, and the soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs stormed the nightclub, arresting those involved in the blacklist, whose only umbrella was gone after Anatoly's death. In the face of General Secretary Yanayev, the only fate for these Jewish gang members was to be executed.
He just looked at the colorful world on the other side, and his body and the dark Kremlin slowly melted into the night.
Yanayev did not like Jews, especially Jews who wanted to thrive in Moscow's underground society. These Jews used violence and crime to try to control Moscow, but they did not expect that their unintentional actions would draw the resentment of the Kremlin's top brass.
The fact that the Soviet Union united the Jews in the country during World War II did not mean that Yanayev would indulge them. The words of the Jewish commissar before his execution, "I am a commissar and a Jew" are certainly tragic and resolute, but in the face of these moths that are making waves in Moscow, Yanayev will only communicate with them with bullets.
The general secretary, who is extremely disgusted with the gangsters, decided to use this incident as a starting point to severely punish those who disrupt social order.
Comrade Vladimir's battle plan was to break into the territory of the gangsters with lightning speed and carry out a decapitation operation. According to Yanayev's instructions, there was no need to go through the judicial steps to make the arrest. Once recognized as "criminals" by the Moscow side, only bullets awaited their execution.
Such a method can be used only in extraordinary times, and he would not have used such extreme methods if it were not for the sake of stabilizing the internal environment for the subsequent re-election, including raising the prestige of Comrade Vladimir.
"It's old, it's really old. In the past, the August 19 coup d'Γ©tat still put its hand on the button of nuclear weapons and negotiated face-to-face with the leaders of all member countries. Now it's just a small-scale purge, and it needs to take care of so many forces...... Then you little gangsters are out of luck, waiting to be a tool to vent your anger. β
Yanayev was holding a cigarette, and a Moskva River blocked him from the world of flowers opposite.
"Enjoy, moths, this is one of the few times you have to celebrate."
"Vladimir will never show mercy."
He was suddenly a little curious to see how those people would end up, but he didn't have to think about it to know that Moscow would be doused with blood tonight. After tonight, Vladimir should be the bloody butcher of Moscow, and the minor unrest in the Politburo could be mistaken for the hand of the chairman of the Council of Ministers.
They're CCCP.
A terrible monster loyal to the people. (To be continued.) )
