The seventh shift is complete

Perhaps these armed men, who had not experienced real fear, could not understand how terrible the Soviet soldiers who fought for their faith were, and the Wehrmacht, who confronted the Soviet Red Army back then, knew best how terrifying the existence of the Red Army that was shouting for the attack of Ula all over the mountains, and even when I recalled it after many years, there was only the deepest and instinctive fear in the depths of my mind.

Just like their slogan of Arahu Akbar, the GRU soldiers for the motherland stubbornly resisted the first wave of attack, and the GRU members, who have always believed that caliber is justice and firepower is truth, brought AGS-17 grenade launchers, which were smuggled from the Soviet Union, and each 30mm grenade explosion caused great damage to the attacking Libyan Freedom Battalion fighters, not only paid the price of the destruction of three armed pickup trucks, but also did not even conquer the gate.

Soldiers standing on the roof of the building raised their middle fingers at the Libyan armed militia who were retreating backwards, and a body had fallen in front of the embassy, all of them were Freedom Battalion militiamen who tried to violate the embassy.

At this time, the Moscow side exploded, and Defense Minister Yazov, who was about to fall asleep, was forcibly pulled out of the bed and rushed to the White House, while at the same time there was Comrade Kryuchkov, the chairman of the KGB, and when they arrived at the conference room on the third floor of the Kremlin, Yanayev was smoking a cigarette in a dull manner.

Other people also arrived one after another, Comrade Yazov looked around, basically all of them were high-level officials of the Air Force, even including the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force Deynegin, so many powerful high-level military backgrounds gathered together, there was absolutely nothing good.

"Our embassy in Benghazi was attacked by militants. The casualties are uncertain at this time. Security personnel inside the embassy are engaged in a battle with the militants. ”

Yanayev's words instantly ignited the silent conference room. Everyone is talking to each other. Because this matter is so sensitive, even Defense Minister Yazov did not think of a countermeasure for a while.

"No need to discuss, everything you can think of before you came here. Including reaching out to our allies for help. Yanayev threw away his cigarette butts, folded his hands on top of each other, and said coldly, "Including asking for help from the United Revolutionary Front of Libya and the Red Crescent Brigade, but the reply I got was that I couldn't spare troops." Almost at the same time as the attack on the embassy in Benghazi. The Liberty Battalion launched an offensive against the other two groups. ”

When Yanayev said this, everyone fell silent, so that the attack on the embassy was not an accident, it was definitely a trap designed by someone.

"And what about the Libyan opposition government? They can't just watch a country's embassy be attacked in their own base, right? Jeynegin asked.

"The Foreign Ministry tried to intervene with the Libyan opposition, but the response was not clear. It seems that the person who designed this bureau was very thoughtful, and all the forces that the Soviet Union could ask for help were blocked by him. ”

Yazov gasped, which meant that the other side was definitely another country that wanted to further muddy the situation in Benghazi, where the Soviet ambassador died, not only dealt a blow to the Soviet Union's foreign strategy, but also quickly filled the power vacuum in Benghazi. And the countries heading for Benghazi are all in love with oil.

"So comrades. It's time to show our attitude, ambassador of the Soviet Union, to save or not to save? "Yanayev now has to vote on everyone's attitude here.

"Help, how to save it?" Kryuchkov asked that this was a big problem, and if the Soviet Union sent troops into Libya, it would mean interfering in the internal affairs of Libya and provoking the sovereignty of the opposition. At that time, it will definitely be used by Western countries to make a big fuss, and maybe the other side wants the Soviet Union to do this, so as to force the Soviet Union to withdraw from Libya.

"Remember Israel's Thunderbolt initiative?" Yanayev asked.

Comrade Kryuchkov nodded, Operation Thunderbolt was a great feat in the history of hostage rescue, Israeli special forces made a long journey to Uganda in five countries and successfully rescued the crew members who had been taken hostage by the Palestine Liberation Organization. When Yanayev mentioned this, Kryuchkov understood what Yanayev was thinking. But Benghazi is not a Uganda and cannot achieve the goal of rescuing the besieged people as soon as possible.

"Even if our assault team takes off from Ukraine and rushes to Benghazi, it will take far longer than they can sustain, how can they be rescued?" Kryuchkov raised another question.

"What if it takes off in Syria?" Yanayev asked rhetorically.

Take off in Syria? Kryuchkov froze for a moment, he did not expect such a hand.

"We have a GRU intelligence unit at our air base in Syria that can go to Benghazi to rescue them, but these people must wear clothes and equipment without any national markings, and these people are not special forces sent by the Soviet government, but a volunteer without any name."

"I see, the use of this unmarked force can skillfully avoid the accusations of international public opinion, so that we will not be protested by the Libyan interim government, and the requisitioned Syrian planes will not be able to find fault even if the opposition base camp wants to find fault."

"That's right, that's it." Yanayev nodded.

"The armed men who tried to kidnap the ambassador were also thinking of a quick solution, and the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for them, and after this series of operations, the Red Crescent Brigade and the United Revolutionary Front of Libya would also go to the aid of the Soviet embassy, and then the anti-Soviet armed personnel would have no chance."

Kryuchkov had to admire Yanayev's thoughtfulness, so that the special forces entered Libya in an open and honest manner, and were not blamed by international public opinion.

"Time is urgent, and Comrade Kryuchkov and Comrade Yazov are also requested to quickly come up with a feasible plan for rescue, and Comrade Deynegin, the Air Force hopes that you can deploy reliable pilots in time."

"No problem." Jeynegin nodded.

Yanayev said solemnly, "Comrades, we will never abandon any of our compatriots. Even if we are infamous later, the government will take them back, whether it is ambassadors or civilians, and let everyone overseas know that the motherland is their eternal backing. (To be continued.) )
