The third more

Yanayev returned to the command post, and at this time Marshal Smiryev was waiting for him. After seeing Yanayev, Smirev walked over and whispered, "General Secretary Yanayev, everyone is waiting for you to have a celebration banquet." ”

"I just went out and sighed." Yanayev said, "You will do it for me, Comrade Smirev. It's good that Marshal Yazov is not here, and no one is stopping you from playing at the wine table. ”

"General Secretary Yanayev, it's not good for you to ridicule like this." Smirev scratched his head embarrassedly, Yanayev has an unusual affection for Smirev, it can be said that sitting in the position of commander-in-chief of the Soviet Red Navy depends on Yanayev's promotion, otherwise he doesn't know how long he will stay in the position of deputy staff officer to get ahead. But who made all the admirals except for Smirev the henchmen of the Go-style faction. That's why Smirev, who has the least seniority, came to power so quickly, and it is also because of Yanayev's relationship that Yazov will include Smiryev as the object of care.

"Getting back to the point, Comrade Smirev, the Lotus satellite has been successfully launched, so I hope that the Red Navy will be able to start changing its previous battle plan and strategy with the help of the vine system, I think the admirals have a lot of complaints about me as a leader, after all, many generals have been forced to change careers."

"Of course there are no problems, General Secretary Yanayev." Smiryev assured Yanayev.

"So Comrade Smirev, there is one more crucial issue that you need to solve." When Yanayev said this, his face visibly became a little gloomy. And Smiryev followed Yanayev's movements very well and went to a remote place to talk. After all, there are some things at the top, the less others know about them, the better.

"It's about the diehards who are blocking the change in the Soviet army, and I want you to purge them from within the army, Marshal Ogarkov has been planning for so long to prepare for this change. We no longer need conformists, we just need those avant-garde who are embracing a new era. The old times are gone, and those who covet the glory of the past should let them die with the old times if they are not willing to come out. ”

When it came to the question of the interests of the Soviet Union, Yanayev became devoid of the slightest emotion, for whom the interests of the Fatherland always came first, and personal feelings second. Even if you have performed outstanding deeds in the past, Yanayev will not open the net for him. Mingsheng and secretly descending are already extraordinarily generous, and if you don't know how to lift, you may directly let the other party retire early. It was precisely because he realized the importance of modernizing and informatizing the army that he took the risk of giving Marshal Ogarkov a second chance to become the vanguard of the army in clearing the army of officers who opposed modernization.

The situation of the Soviet navy was slightly better, and the Soviet armored forces were the focus of Yanayev's attack, especially those hawks who believed in the steel torrent to push Europe flat, and they became conservatives who blocked the construction of information troops.

"I will, General Secretary Yanayev."

Smirev nodded a little stiffly, but he would definitely faithfully carry out Yanayev's orders, because he stood on Yanayev's side and unconditionally supported Yanayev's decision.

This is bound to be the second bombshell since the Soviet Union's massive troop drawdowns in 1991.

And by this time Yanayev was ready for the onslaught.

With the support of Air Marshal Shaposhnikov and General Valentshnikov, Yanayev's work of cleaning up the conservatives is much easier, coupled with the deployment of Marshal Ogarkov as early as two years ago, the current opposition parties of Yanayev's army reform have become the targets of targeted killing, Yanayev is not in a hurry for the time being, as long as they are all pulled out, the entire Soviet army will usher in a new life.

The most important thing is to make the mid-level officers of the army quickly fill the void after the top ranks have been poached, and to ensure that the reformed Soviet army has a tradition of maintaining a good work style, which is the key issue that Yanayev is concerned about.

And then he just has to wait for the good news.

Yanayev did not stay in Kazakhstan for more, but went directly to Astana to take a flight back to Moscow, and Yanayev, who was busy with tasks, did not have time to enjoy the scenery in Kazakh Oblast, and maybe someone in Europe was planning some kind of conspiracy.

Returning from the dry climate of Kazakhstan to snowy Moscow, Yanayev looked a little tired, but he could not stop to rest now, after all, there was still a lot of paperwork waiting for him to approve.

As soon as he returned to the Kremlin, before Yanayev sat down, Vladimir and Yazov walked into the office at the same time.

Next, they brought Yanayev a shocking piece of news.

Vladimir took a deep breath and said slowly, "A series of large-scale unrest has broken out in the Ingushetia region, and now the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are going to the Ingushetia region to carry out suppressive operations. Four hours before the riots, the Ingushetia region had been put on level 1 alert. Forces stationed in North Ossetia are also advancing towards the Ingushetia region. ”

Yanayev quietly listened to Vladimir's report and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Since Kryuchkov left it alone, the entire KGB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have become the departments controlled by Vladimir, and it can be said that now the deputy minister is the first person in charge of intelligence work and internal security.

But it was precisely because of Putin's ability that Yanayev turned a blind eye to the power struggle between him and Kryuchkov, and even secretly intervened to protect the young future successor under some special circumstances.

"Has the cause of the riots been identified? I'm talking about which side instigated the riots. Yanayev is very calm, the Caucasus has been a frequent area of ethnic conflicts since ancient times, and in addition to the high-pressure ethnic policy, there is also the establishment of a controllable agent in the Caucasus to maintain the stability and unity of the entire region.

"Yes...... The remnants of the sectarian armed forces of the Wahhabis. "Vladimir reported the bad news to Yanayev.

Yanayev's face changed instantly.

Apparently he didn't expect this to happen either. (To be continued.) )
