Chapter 136: The Last Empire, The Last Man
The second update is complete
The news of Chernavin's arrest was like a bombshell that suddenly ignited the entire Soviet army, the most senior official of the army to be arrested so far. And when Gromov saw this newspaper, he was secretly glad that he was on the right side at the most critical moment, so he could now drink coffee in the office unharmed, instead of being investigated by the party organization in the courtroom.
Gromov, who had heard of how the men of the discipline department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs dealt with traitors, had long heard of them, and as soon as he thought about those cruel methods, he panicked.
"Maybe after Chernavin is dismissed, my position will be able to go to the next level, hehe." Gromov thought proudly that he was now in Yanayev, which blind guy dared to target him. What's more, Gromov has already betrayed the secrets of the vast majority of officials, making them victims of this political struggle. Now Gromov is stepping on the bones of others, climbing step by step on the road to his own success.
Just when Gromov put the newspaper and was about to start the day's work, the door of the office was suddenly knocked open by several strangers, which startled Gromov, he quickly raised his head, and saw several guys dressed in the internal affairs department walking quickly in front of Gromov, and said unhurriedly, "I'm sorry Comrade Gromov, now please follow us." ”
"Coming with you?" Gromov smiled and said absently, "No kidding, comrade. Do you know who I am? Dare to move me to try, call your leaders over and talk about it! ”
In the face of Gromov's arrogant attitude, the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs still patiently explained. "Of course we know who you are. In fact, the arrest was personally ordered by President Yanayev. Oh yes. He also asked us to convey to you, thank you for the information, but no one can change what I have decided to do. After saying that, the censors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also made a gesture of please, signaling Gromov to cooperate obediently and not to make the situation embarrassing.
Gromov's heart suddenly chuckled, and he scratched his head and said anxiously. "I don't believe it, I don't believe your nonsense, hell, I'm going to see President Yanayev, don't drag me, I'm from the president's side, you can't do this to me."
"General Secretary Yanayev said that he has only the last people around him, and opportunists will always be his enemies." The soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs repeated one side again, only this time they directly grabbed Gromov's hand. Forcibly dragged him out of the office. The entire corridor echoed with the heart-rending screams of Gromov as he was taken away. Those who heard the shouts were so panicked that their hands holding pens were shaking.
Poor General Gromov, who did not survive a few days after the storm, became the number two man in Yanayev's fight against corruption.
A few days later, news of Gromov's ouster was transmitted throughout the country through the Soviet government's newspapers. This time it was not just the army that was shocked, but the entire Soviet Union. This was only possible when the Iron Leaders were fighting their political opponents and maintaining stability and unity, while Yanayev was able to attack the military bureaucracy simply because of corruption.
With the spirit of not being broken by jade, he opened a knife to the army that had been stubborn for a long time. The repercussions and resistance to Yanayev were obvious, and the thresholds of the offices of Defense Minister Yazov and Field Marshal Valennikov, who supported Yanayev, were about to be broken by former colleagues and students, who asked for the help of two men to say good things in front of Yanayev and not let themselves be lost to the members of the damned disciplinary committee.
And the two only said that they couldn't help, and then they sent away these friends who came to the door to plead, Yanayev had let go of the words before, and no one saw them. Those who have problems will be investigated and dealt with, and those who have no problems will be promoted. First Deputy Commander of the Navy Smirev took over Chernavin and concurrently held the post of Chief of the General Staff of the Navy.
Yanayev was not stupid, and drastic reforms would inevitably offend the old interest groups, so he also recruited a group of young Zhuang factions gathered around him to support the purge. Many of them were the beneficiaries of the Great Purge, so they spared no support for Yanayev's reforms.
In this way, the old bureaucracy was slowly sorted out, those who should be assigned were sent to Siberia to dig coal, those who should be demoted were transferred to the idle departments to stay, and only those who actively supported Yanayev's reforms and whose backgrounds were clean became substitutes for those who were about to rot the wood
At this point, Yanayev finally took control of the absolute power of the Soviet Union's navy, land and air force, and the situation in the turbulent member states gradually calmed down, except for those communist countries in Eastern Europe that had evolved peacefully and could not be saved, he regained control of the situation, and put the Soviet Union, which was about to collapse with its last breath, back on track, although the Soviet Union was still in economic difficulties. But NATO's encirclement is still impenetrable, and unless the giant red bear falls with a bang, they will not rest on their laurels.
The Soviet Union finally became the last remaining communist country on the European continent.
The red prairie fire that once swept almost all of Europe has become a sporadic afterglow, which is embarrassing.
It was already late at night, and Yanayev, who was still working at his desk in the cold night, raised his head and rubbed his sore eyes. Putting down the pen in his hand for a while, he recalled the various processes of the past year or so, he was almost the most aggrieved general secretary of the Soviet Union, before which the entire Western world, including itself, the bureaucratic class denounced him as "the brutal tsar of dictatorship, autocracy, communism!" "Their hearts are invariably wishing that the Soviet Union would die as soon as possible, and then they could get a piece of the people's property and become a real oligarch.
Just when these people were about to become oligarchs to rule Russia, Yanayev stood up alone and stopped in front of them, and told them in a weak but still firm voice that as long as I am still here, you should not think about ruining the efforts of your ancestors, our glory and dreams.
They were angry, they attacked them en masse, and even though Yanayev was scarred in the end, he gritted his teeth, unwilling to put down the great banner in his hand, unwilling to fall.
In the end, the people who laughed at him deserved it, and the fire that was about to be extinguished was rekindled, under the careful care of a scarred man.
The last man of the Soviet Empire, the last man to defend glory and dreams. In this time and space of rebirth, he has indeed achieved great ideals, and the banner of his father's generation has been passed down and is endless. Even if he is the last person left, he will still continue on this lonely road.
Yanayev lowered his head and continued to work, the thick pile of reports around him gradually thinned, and it was only after he had finished all his work that Yanayev raised his head.
At this time, the sky of Moscow has begun to whiten, and the light blue sky looks particularly bright and dazzling against the background of the morning glow, and the scene of steaming clouds makes Yanayev turn off the table lamp that has accompanied him all night, and look at the scenery outside the window that is gradually becoming lively.
"The darkness will dissipate before dawn, and our ideals will eventually shine like a thousand rays of light on our path."
Yanayev, dressed in a thick coat, stood in front of the windowsill with a cup of black coffee in his hand and muttered, "The old struggle is over, and the new battle is about to begin." I don't know my enemies, are you ready? ”
"The vengeful Red Bear will return to the North Continent, and all enemies will tremble over it!"
