Chapter 656: The Great Hour
The first update
The end of the Five-Day War heralded the complete failure of the West's attempt to intervene in the USSR through the Caucasus, and the heroes of the 58th Army, who made outstanding contributions to this war, were received by the Kremlin with great grapemon. Yanayev personally presented the Hero of the Soviet Union with the medal of www.biquge.info Hero of the Soviet Union as a way of encouragement to those who had made significant contributions to the country. This is also the first time that Yanayev has officially awarded the Order of the Hero of the Soviet Union since the hawthorn incident in 1991.
In order to set an example for the entire Soviet people, Yanayev did not forget anyone who had made significant contributions to the country, and Yanayev had previously passed a bill to raise the standard of pensions for those who received the Order of the Soviet Union to 510% of the base level of state pensions, as a sign of respect for the heroes.
The Kremlin is resplendent with crystal chandeliers giving off a soft glow. And here stood full of soldiers from the 58th Group Army, who were talking and laughing about the next awards, and they were all people who had made outstanding contributions to the war.
Troshev stood in front of Yanayev, looking a little haggard and withered, looking a little overworked, but his eyes were still bright. Being awarded the Order of the Hero of the Soviet Union is an honor for every serviceman, for whom it is a great and sacred honor.
As the commander-in-chief of the operation, Troshev did an excellent job of fulfilling the tasks assigned to him by the Kremlin, and did not allow any Georgian rebels to cross the Soviet Union's Caucasus mountain border.
However, Troshev's performance was still a little helpless, and he said to Yanayev with a little apology, "It's a pity that we still haven't found the commander of the Georgian rebels, Minashvili, sorry, General Secretary Yanayev, we only confirmed that Plekhanov and Gerbachev were killed." Now parts of the Caucasus are still searching for Minashvili's whereabouts. ”
Minashvili, whose whereabouts are unknown, became a source of concern for Troshev, and it is clear that the top commander of the Georgian rebels did not flee with Gorbachev, and his body was not found during the liquidation of the presidential palace in Tbilisi. Although the Soviets posted a wanted notice in Georgia, it was not easy to catch the fox.
However, one Minashvili can no longer affect the situation in the Caucasus, and the death of the most appealing Gorbachev means that the rebellion is completely over. It is only a matter of time before the remainder is arrested.
Yanayev patted Troshev on the shoulder and motioned for him to relax, "Our focus is on Gorbachev, as long as he dies, the Caucasus will be completely pacified." And, by the way, it deterred the remaining rebel forces and made them understand that this was the result of opposing the Soviet Union. ”
Yanayev's gaze became gloomy, and he said slowly, "And I want everyone to know that any force that dares to oppose the Soviet Union, whether they are hiding in the mountains or in the dense forests, we can pull out these rats and eliminate them one by one." ”
The guerrilla tactics of the Chechen War were no longer feasible, and the new Soviet army's precision strike method could destroy any hiding target, and the new Soviet army's operation this time was a textbook demonstration.
If Yanayev guessed correctly, the Western Europeans would be frowning by now. The successful military reform of the Soviet Union will shock the whole world.
The award ceremony began, Yanayev walked up to the podium amid the applause of the crowd, and all eyes were on the general secretary, as if as long as he was alive, the USSR would not fall.
A great leader always shows his charisma in the right places.
"Comrades, I'm very happy to see you here, and I think I'll be even happier when you stand on the podium. Because I am honored to see so many Soviet heroes standing here, one after the other, for the sake of the Motherland. and to share this great moment with you. ”
The whole hall fell silent, except for Yanayev standing on the stage, looking at everyone with an encouraging look.
"This is a hall of honor for heroes, we have received Soviet soldiers who were forgotten in Afghanistan, naval soldiers who survived the Arabian Sea conflict, and pilots who died in the Hawthorn Incident. It is precisely because of their bravery and sacrifice that the prosperity and stability of this country have been exchanged. Every land on which we stand is the peace that our ancestors poured out with their blood and lives. ”
"We have faced fascist invasions, we have faced the hostility of the Western world, the isolation of the whole world. But our faith will not fade, and Dostoevsky said that a truly great people can never be willing to play a secondary or even an important role in the cause of humanity, but to play the main role regularly and exclusively. Yes, as he said, we are the giant bear of the Soviets, the leader of the recast red order, the nightmare of the Western free world! We exist to free all oppressed people from the shackles of the old era. ”
"And I know that when I die, someone will throw a whole pile of garbage on my grave, and I don't care about the name of dictator, tyrant who persecuted freedom, and butcher, because the winds of history will surely blow that garbage away mercilessly. Time will give me the most just verdict on who is the savior of this country! I have a clear conscience about this country, just like everyone here. ”
In the entire Georgia Hall, only Yanayev's voice was sonorous and powerful, outlining everyone's emotional resonance in a few words.
"This society needs heroes, and the cause of heroes continues. Perhaps the people have begun to gradually forget the turmoil of 1991, but the heroic deeds will never be erased, and they will forever remain in the annals of history and will never be forgotten! ”
"Tbilisi in 1991, the Baltic in 1991, Ukraine in 1991, our fighters told everyone with the strongest conviction that this great country would not fall!"
Fierce applause echoed in the hall, and Yanayev stood in front of the emblem of the Soviet Union, his eyes determined and his gaze deep. Troshev from the audience wiped the wetness from the corner of his eye, and the applause was stronger than before.
"The unfalling flag, the sacred faith and the great path will always guide each of us forward."
"Long live the Soviets!" (To be continued.) )
