(2nd update completed)

Kravchuk, chairman of the Supreme Soviet of Ukraine, rushed to the Kremlin, and before he stopped to rest, he was led directly to Yanayev's presidential office.

"Shushkevich, my friend." Kravchuk called Shushkevich from behind, and the other man turned around, leaving him with a pale and bloodless face, and barely squeezed out a smile at him. Seeing this, Kravchuk's heart couldn't help but chuckle, and he quickened his pace to meet it.

The two walked side by side, and Kravchuk whispered to Shushkevich, "What is the reason why Yanayev summoned the two of us to the president's office this time?" Since August, the two of us have been keeping to ourselves and not doing anything out of the ordinary. ”

"Hehe, can you and I figure out what Tayanaev's mind is? What happened to those who thought they were fine? Shushkovich cursed as he walked away, almost in a voice so low that only he could hear him, "I didn't expect that after a coward Gorbachev, the Soviet Union welcomed a madman Yanayev, and his reckless recklessness actually temporarily stabilized the situation in the country." ”

"Maybe the other side is really like the outside world rumors, the Kremlin is inhabited by an evil genius like Stalin." Kravchuk said, adding at the end, "But so what? Did he resist the popular will of tens of millions of people? ”

The door of the office was closed, and the two stopped at the door and waited quietly, Shushkovich was a little curious, didn't the president come to summon the two of them? Why is there still a sound of someone talking to Yanayev in the house?

Just when the two people outside the door were thinking nonsense, the closed door was opened, and the first to come out was Pavlov, who looked depressed, and he greeted the two leaders of the member countries outside the door perfunctorily, and when the second person came out, Kravchuk suddenly raised his head, but saw a person he never wanted to see again in his life, General Rogionov, the former commander-in-chief of the Caucasus Military District, who was looking at him with a cold look at the enemy.

"Chairman Kravchuk, it's been a long time, I think about it, the last time we saw each other was three years ago." General Rogionov's words were hidden in the needle, perhaps because of the weakness of his heart, and the other party's words made Kravchuk uncomfortable.

"I remember the trial of the People's Congress of the USSR in 1989, when you spoke out and insisted that the rioters were peacefully demonstrated, and that the army had beaten innocent people. And I'm responsible for the eighteen demonstrators who died in Tbilisi, isn't it? But looking at the situation today, I can't help but think of a biblical maxim: "Whoever sows the wind will be stricken by a storm." ”

Rogionov took a step forward, approached Kravchuk, and said with a cold threat on the corner of his mouth, "Kravchuk, the disaster you sowed back then will soon come." ”

Kravchuk snorted coldly, pretending not to care about Rogionov's words, but kept muttering in his heart as he stepped into the office what Yanayev was thinking. He glanced at Shushkevich beside him, and the other party also looked at him with the same complicated expression, the presence of Rogionov here was definitely not a good thing for them.

"Yo, Comrade Kravchuk and Comrade Shushkevich, welcome to you, I've been waiting for a long time." As a good politician, Yanayev can still pretend to be elated to greet the enemy in front of him, but he sneers at them in his heart.

Kravchuk, an economics teacher who advocated the implementation of a market economy, the issuance of a national currency, and the expansion of foreign trade, but which led to a continuous decline in production and a high inflation rate, Shushkevich, a professor of physics at the Belarusian Academy of Sciences, who came to power on the slogan of democracy, insisted on playing international politics, which is really ridiculous and generous.

"President Yanayev, is there something important that you are in such a hurry to summon us?" Kravchuk glanced at Rogionov, who had just gone out of the door, and turned his head to meet Yanayev's somewhat gloomy eyes, and couldn't help but shudder.

"I would like to ask you a question, at the end of 1988, the Supreme Soviet of the Estonian Soviet Republic adopted the Declaration on the Sovereignty of the Republic, do you know about this?" Yanayev asked.

Kravchuk and Shushkevich looked at each other for a moment, but both replied in unison, "We know." ”

Seeing that the two of them answered the question honestly, Yanayev, who was still holding back in his heart, continued, "It was also in that year that the whole Soviet Union blew up the wave of what was called the great display of sovereignty at that time, and there were not only union republics fighting for independence, but also autonomous republics, border regions, ethnic regions, and even some regions that did not actually exist before, and in the process of this sovereignty wind, the biggest blow to national unity was the declaration of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation Republic on the state sovereignty of Russia in 1990, It directly declares that the highest legal organ of Russia is above federal law, and do you know where the danger of this practice lies? ”

Yanayev's questions became more and more pertinent, and Kravchuk rolled his Adam's apple and replied with some difficulty that he did not know.

"I'll tell you where the danger is, it means that you are above the Soviet Constitution, that a Union State has the right to impose its will on a whole, and that this thesis of partial transcendence of the whole has a destructive power not to be underestimated, and this is what I want to say to you!"

At the end of the day, Yanayev's voice rose several decibels, and even the people passing by the door stopped and looked curiously at the closed door of the Supreme Leader, guessing what kind of argument was going on inside.

"But how can the democratic ...... of the Soviets be manifested if the member states do not have a manifestation of sovereignty," Kravchuk retorted in a low voice, bowing his head.

"I'm fucking you hypocritical democracy, democracy you're fucking fucking!" Yanayev, who was almost carried away by anger, suddenly realized that he was not speaking Russian, and quickly changed his words and said, "Ahem, sovereignty is not being pulled by you as a banner of independence against the sovereign integrity and territorial integrity of the Soviets. ”

The charge of treason is very big, and Yanayev is threatening two people in front of him with the charge of treason.

Kravchuk saw for the first time that Yanayev was like an angry lion, still roaring in a language he didn't understand at all, so he lowered his head and glanced at the silent Shushkovich next to him, and motioned with his eyes to do something.

Shushkevich, who understood it, raised his head and said, "President Yanayev, what do you mean?" ”

"What do I mean? Very simple. After beating around the bush for so long, Yanayev put his intentions on the table as a bargaining chip, "Didn't the Soviet Union have three votes in the UN? I now want to abolish the legitimate seats of the Ukrainian Republic and the Belarusian Republic in the United Nations and form a highly unified Soviet decision-making power. I have summoned both of you today to announce this to the two of you. ”

Not a discussion, but a declaration, Yanayev's attitude has shown everything, that the days of independence won by the member states in 1988 are coming to an end, and that the Iron Curtain of the Soviets will regain control of everything and form a new unbreakable alliance.

"As for whether the two of you choose to obey or die, it's up to you."

Yanayev leaned back in his chair and looked at the two leaders of the member states with uncertain expressions.
