Volume 14 The Smoke of Gunpowder Chapter 35 Come Prepared

It is said that the next day of the year's mouth month. 【Reading Network】A bad day in July of the old year, and the old concave year. Monthly Bu potassium to. The same should be remembered as well.

On this day, with the landing of the Russian Airborne Forces in Astana, the Third World War broke out.

Of course, the reality is far from that simple. On this day, many important events were born, and only by connecting them together constituted all the necessary elements for the introduction of the Third World War.

In the morning of the same day, Akayev carried out a military coup. Less than an hour after declaring his allegiance to Dudayev, Dudayev made an appearance in Yining, Xinjiang. It was announced that former Defence Minister Jerylenko would be sent to Astana to take over the Arms Control Commission in his place and to form an interim government. This arrangement deviated from the original plan, because it was not Jerylenko who was planned to return to Astana, but Dudayev. For security reasons, Dudayev accepted the advice of the republic's authorities and did not go to Astana for the time being.

Not going to Astana does not mean that Dudayev will not return to Kazakhstan. In any case, Dudayev is the democratically elected president of Kazakhstan and the top leader of Kazakhstan, recognized by dozens of countries, including the republic. Although the president is not a monarch, only by returning to the prefecture can the value and status of the president be reflected. And so it goes. Dudayev must return to Kazakhstan. The provisional government proclaimed by him had legitimacy.

As mentioned earlier, back to Kazakhstan. It doesn't mean going back to Astana.

When Kazakhstan became an independent state, it was not Astana, but Almaty.

It was in this way that less than 2 hours after announcing the dispatch of Derylenko to Astana, Dudayev boarded the convoy back home. And at noon of the same day, he left Yining and went to Almaty along the Ayigao highway in the Ili River valley. Choose to return home from the ground. And there is no more selective air route, except that it is safer. Yining to Almaty is also persuaded to multi-kilometer. Even if you drive slowly, it only takes a few hours. Because Dudayev was the supreme leader of another country, during his exile in the republic, he received the highest treatment for a visit from another country's state, that is, personal security was taken care of by the republican guard, so when he left, he was still escorted by the other country's guard. After all, it is only a little distance from Yining to Almaty, and Dudayev also signed several mutual security agreements with the republic during his administration, and the armed forces of the republic can enter Kazakhstan under special circumstances, so the Yuan Guard Force was invited by Dudayev to be responsible for the security work throughout the process.

In fact, everyone knows that Dudayev was escorted by definitely not just a few dozen security guards.

According to reports, in addition to the security unit escorting Dudayev, which is composed of the most elite special forces of the republic, in order to ensure the safe and timely return of the president-in-exile to Kazakhstan, the republican authorities have also mobilized a number of units, including air supremacy fighters, long-range artillery and air assault units. What's more. The escort also included several senior medics and a truck loaded with field medical equipment. It can be said that the entire escort work was foolproof, even if Dudayev had a heart attack, he could get to Almaty safely.

Of course, due to security concerns, Dudayev's return to the country was not announced in time.

At that time, the most eye-catching thing was Derylenko, who returned to Astana on the diplomatic plane of the Republic.

The former defense minister, who had followed Dudayev into exile in the republic, arrived at the crack of local time and, together with Major General Akayev, announced the formation of a provisional government and the takeover of the Arms Control Commission half an hour later. It was only at this point that the most important step of the military coup was taken out. In any case, Akayev is a military man, and the international community will never recognize the military-run Provisional Government, let alone the Military Control Commission. Jerylenko is different, as a former Minister of Defense, if Dudayev's legitimacy is not questioned, his identity will naturally not be questioned, and it is only natural that he exercises the power to manage the country on behalf of Dudayev.

It was in this way that in the afternoon of the same day that the republic was the first to recognize the Dudayev Provisional Government.

Less than half an hour after the republic's statement, Kim Jong-nam, the rotating chairman of the intensive group and the special envoy of the DPRK, announced at the headquarters of the intensive group in Guangzhou that the intensive group recognized the Dudayev regime as the only legitimate regime in Kazakhstan and formally accepted the request of the Dudayev authorities to join the European Union.

Within two hours, all the member states of the intensive group announced their recognition of the Dudayev regime.

This degree cannot be described as unhappy.

You know, if you go through the normal diplomatic process. It would have to take time, and the countries of the intensive bloc, such as the Republic, had done so much work last night in just a few hours, unless these governments were administratively efficient, or they were prepared.

The problem is that it is recognized by the intensive group. It does not mean that it is recognized by the international community.

In any case, the intensive group is only a regional group of countries and is not yet representative of the international community as a whole.

It was this that Russian President Cheryakov was at noon that day Moscow time. That is, Kim Jong-nam publicly stated not long after announcing his recognition of the Dudayev regime that Russia! Chuan'er does not recognize the coup regime, let alone a president who has been secretly manipulated by other regimes.

Although Cheryakov did not mention whether Russia would take action, almost all news media believed that this statement by the Russian president was a precautionary shot against the authorities of the republic, lest the authorities of the republic overreact to the sudden actions of the Russian army, causing the situation to become unfavorable for Russia.

The problem is, in the case of determination to do something. Any actions of the Russian army will cause the authorities of the republic to overreact. After Cheryakov's statement, Al Jazeera made a comprehensive analysis of the situation. Of course. This Arab TV station reports. The most eye-catching thing is not the analysis of the situation, after all, what the situation is like, most viewers know in their hearts. What really interests people is some of the heavy information revealed by this TV station. For example, when Cheryakov made his statement, the main forces of Russia's Ural-Caucasus theater, the Siberian theater, and the Far Eastern theater were all in a state of combat readiness, and several strategic mobile units had already left their camps and were heading to the nearest air base. That is, the Russian authorities have already made a decision to intervene militarily, and the Russian army will soon cross the border and suppress the military coup in Kazakhstan with lightning speed, as it did more than a year ago.

The problem is that the military coup d'état more than a year ago was written and directed by the Russian authorities, and this time it is different.

After Al Jazeera shook out the details of the Russian army, it was 108,000 miles away from the area, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with the military coup, and it reported on the deployment of the republican ** team. It is claimed that the ground forces deployed in the northeastern and northwestern regions of the Republic have long been put into combat readiness, and the Republic Air Force has sent more anti-aircraft fighter units, including some strategic bombers

Empty.

The meaning of this report is clear, that is, the republic has also planned it a long time ago.

Of course, there is a sequence of reports, and it is easy to assume that the republican authorities, as Russia's neighbor and the most likely to be threatened, are on alert because Russia has raised its military alert.

At this point, the matter is not over.

European television, which also had little to do with the incident, also lost no time in following up, and almost all of its key news was speaking for the Republic. For example, Agence France-Presse (AFP) mentioned in its news report that the authorities of the Republic have not increased their troops to the northwest and northeast. It was only an appropriate increase in the alert level of the garrison units in the adjacent areas. In this sense, the republic did not mean to send troops to Kazakhstan. When reporting the second batch of key news, the European news media turned their attention back at the same time, claiming that the Russian army facing the European continent had also raised its alert level, and some of the main field troops had even left the camp and entered a combat state. That is, the military mobilization of Russia is not directed only against Kazakhstan, but in all directions. Although in subsequent comments. Some commentators believe that Russia has appropriately raised the level of military alert, and it has also stepped out of local security considerations, and has no ill will towards European countries, but these commentators have intentionally or unintentionally mentioned one point, that is, Russia is definitely not the opponent of the republic, even if it can enter Kazakhstan first, it is very likely to be defeated by the powerful republican ** team, in order to prevent the mainland from being attacked, the Russian authorities are very likely to kidnap Europe, and use Europe's strategic security as a threat to force the republican authorities to make concessions and retreat. In this way, the public anger in Europe can be imagined, and the attitude of European governments can also be imagined.

The canonical struggle is important, but it does not completely change the situation.

At a time when the news media, which have little to do with the military coup in Kazakhstan, are raging, the situation in Kazakhstan is deteriorating.

Around evening, the advance of the 2nd Armored Division of the Kazakh Army from Karaganda reached the southern outskirts of Astana and exchanged fire with the infantry companies of the 1st Infantry Division, the garrison of the capital garrison that had carried out the coup d'état. Although the battle was short, after the attack was unsuccessful, the forward units of the unstable 2nd Panzer Division stopped the attack and voluntarily retreated several thousand meters. Disengagement from the infantry division, but this battle meant that the military coup would never end hastily, and due to the execution of Tostoevsky, the Kazakh troops who had been loyal to him had lost their allegiance, and would certainly not do their best to attack Astana until the situation became clear. To put it more bluntly, as long as Dudayev gained a foothold in Almaty and the provisional government in Astana began to function normally, a single pardon could make a few generals who had returned to Beijing give up resistance. If Russia does not take decisive action at the right time, it will definitely lose Kazakhstan completely.

For Russia, there is already no choice. It can only be intervened by troops, and it must be intervened immediately.

By this time, night had fallen. Due to military control, it was previously known as the "City That Never Sleeps in Central Asia." Because Astana is a newly built city, there is no industrial and agricultural foundation, so Astana is not only the capital of Kazakhstan, but also follows the example of Las Vegas in the United States, with tourism as the main direction of development, and is the only city in Central Asia where gambling is legal, except for the lights of street guards and patrol convoys. The whole city was immersed in darkness, as if there was no life at all.

It was also on this night that the first shots of the three world wars were fired.

At the forefront, it was Chervinsky who went forward to give the work

Although the name is "Always Ready." "But whether it can be released or not is not up to the airborne brigade. Rather, it was up to the airlift troops, who were tasked with the airdrop mission, to decide. It can be said that this is also the biggest drawback of the Russian Airborne Forces. At a time when the Army of the Republic was carrying out a comprehensive reform and establishing the world's largest army aviation unit to enable the Airborne Forces to fight on their own, the Russian authorities still retained the old establishment, that is, transport planes serving the Airborne Forces under the name of the Air Force. Deployment to the Airborne Forces was made only when it was used. As a result, the efficiency of the mobilization of transport fleets will definitely suffer. In other words, it is impossible for the transport aircraft units subordinate to the Air Force to be in a state of combat readiness at all times, as is the case with the Airborne Forces, and therefore it is impossible to dispatch them immediately after receiving an order.

Flying all day, the 1st Airborne Brigade waited for a group of transport planes.

Be honest. The mobilization of the Russian army is not slow. To know. In the flying day old point blade. That is, when the first troops of the first airborne brigade left on transport planes, it was only many hours before the coup d'état, and less than an hour before receiving the combat order. Objectively speaking, at that time, the only one that could do better than the Russian army was probably the Republic Army, and the mobilization of the US Army was not necessarily faster than that of the Russian army. In fact, the Army of the Republic only required the main forces to be put into battle within hours of receiving the order. From the actual situation, because Astana has been controlled by the coup forces, and the 1st Infantry Division of the Kazakh Army is its trump card, and the Russian airborne forces lack sufficient heavy equipment, the risk of landing in the daytime sky is very large, and it is better to choose to be airborne at night. In other words, even if the transport fleet of the Russian Air Force is prepared in advance, it is not possible to send the 1st Airborne Brigade over during the day.

The 4th Airborne Brigade was able to get out in the evening. It's pretty good.

From Yekatezhona to Astana. The straight-line distance is only a kilometer, and for a tactical transport aircraft that can fly in a subtone cruise, it is the maximum number of hours from takeoff to airdrop.

At the old point, the Russian transport fleet arrived at the drop field located northwest of Zaestana.

In just a few minutes, the first units of the Airborne Brigade of the Congo, led by Colonel Alofu himself, set foot on the soil of Kazakhstan. Colonel Alof probably never imagined that his every move was under surveillance, and that there were no secrets about the actions of the 1st Airborne Brigade.

At that time, a suborbital unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was circling about a kilometer above Astana.

Thanks to accurate tactical intelligence, the relevant actions are naturally accurate.

About a minute before Colonel Alov jumped out of the transport plane, that is, about the old point, Dudayev, who had returned to Almaty, made a public appearance and announced it to the multinational consuls who had been invited. He formally took over the interim government and exercised the power to lead the country as the democratically elected president.

Although this is only a very brief statement. But the significance is extraordinary.

From a legal point of view, Dudayev's move is tantamount to declaring the end of anarchy in Kazakhstan, so any country that wants to send troops into Kazakhstan must obtain the consent of the Dudayev regime, or accept the invitation of the Dudayev regime, otherwise it will be a military invasion.

Looking at the actions of the first airborne brigade, it is not difficult to understand the reason for Dudayev's appearance at this time.

Although Dudayev's meeting with the consuls of several countries was broadcast live on several television stations, the Russian authorities were the first to learn about the situation. But with the response mechanism of the Russian authorities, it will certainly not be possible to contact the Airborne Brigade of the Congolese, which has already reached the skies over Astana, in a matter of minutes. According to some information declassified after the war, the commander of the Russian Army, Chervinsky, managed to contact Alov at that time, but was not able to get in touch. From this, it can be concluded that the Republican ** team must have done tricks in Astana, such as conducting directional communication jamming on the group of Russian transport aircraft carrying the 1st Airborne Brigade of the Congo, making it impossible to communicate with the rear through satellite lines. All in all, with the Russian airborne troops led by Alov stepping on the soil of Kazakhstan, the Russian invasion of Kazakhstan is an ironclad and unchangeable fact.

Since there is an invasion, there is also anti-aggression resistance.

With Kazakhstan's strength, it is naturally impossible to resist Russia's military aggression.

The 1st Airborne Brigade of the Central Army, which had completed the airborne procession, encountered a patrol unit of the Kazakh Army and the Infantry Brigade northwest of Astana, and engaged in a brief exchange of fire, killing and wounding many Kazakh officers and men.

A few minutes later, Dudayev officially received the Consul General of the Republic in Almaty and presented his credentials to the Republic.

It was also at this time that Dudayev, who had not yet sat on the hot ass, made a formal request for assistance to the authorities of the republic, hoping that the republic would send troops to help Kazakhstan resist the invasion.

According to the plan, "the consul general of the republic in Almaty immediately made this message through the communication line of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic is announcing the diplomatic request of the Dudayev regime and expressing its acceptance of the invitation to send troops to help Kazakhstan resist the invasion and protect the country's sovereignty and territory.

At this point, both instigators of the Third World War had taken action. , If you want to know what will happen next, please log in, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!
