Chapter 983: Forgiveness and Loyalty
The author completed today's update in a state of high fever, wishing everyone a happy Year of the Rooster and a happy Chinese New Year's Eve
The sound of leather shoes trampling on the marble floor echoed in the quiet corridor, and a middle-aged man with a serious face was walking to the office at the end of the corridor with a notebook in his hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info He was followed by a guard, and the conference room was ordered not to bring any weapons into the room, but he needed soldiers to maintain the chaos that might occur.
Comrade Vladimir, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked to the door, and the soldiers standing on either side pushed it open. As soon as he entered the conference room, he saw a group of uneasy officers waiting for him to arrive. After seeing Vladimir, they all stopped talking, and subconsciously stood up and looked at Comrade Vladimir.
Some even have trembling hands, and Vladimir's rising prestige in the military in recent years is evident as he is Moscow's second strongman after Yanayev. Coupled with the fall of Lukyanov, the conservatives can no longer afford to make any waves, and everyone else knows that he is firmly in control of the political situation, and no one can shake his position.
Looking around, almost all of them were guys who survived the coup d'état, and as for those who were determined to rebel with Lukyanov, I am afraid that it would not be up to them to greet them now. Yanayev would personally bring the soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to talk to them about Marx and Engels.
Vladimir spoke directly, in a serious tone, "I want to talk to everyone here about your colleagues, including old friends here. Comrade Yurkin was just approached this morning for a conversation with General Secretary Yanayev on charges of participating in a conspiracy and rebellion. Perhaps everyone knows what will happen to Comrade Yurkin, and I don't want to say more. ”
"Oh yes, and Colonel Mitskoi, who spent the war in Afghanistan, maybe some of you don't know, but that's okay. We will never forgive him for not only supporting Yeltsin's anti-geming regime in 1991, but even supporting Lukyanov's mobilization of troops to carry out a coup d'état. As for his fate...... You may have learned something about it through other means. ”
Vladimir wanted to stop talking, which was enough to deter all the officers present who were more or less closely related to "Lukyanov", who had been forced to agree to the other party and would promise the most benefits once the coup was successful. Now, it seems, his expectations have become a dead letter.
Vladimir nodded, and the members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs behind him put a tape on the table, he looked around at the soldiers around him, and said, "As you can see, all the secrets are in this tape." This is evidence of Lukyanov's confession. And it may involve all of you who are seated. ”
Some closed their eyes in despair, and they could already guess that the soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would take off their medals, take off their uniforms, and be court-martialed for trial.
Even the script has already guessed, what more can they expect?
Looking forward to Vladimir's change of heart? It was even more difficult than getting Germany to take Moscow.
But apparently everyone else in the room guessed what Vladimir meant. He reached out and retrieved the tape from his desk, then began to tear it roll by roll, and as the others watched in amazement, he held it high and threw it on the ground, stomping on it twice.
"You think I'm going to punish you? Oh no, that's my answer. "Vladimir doesn't care at all whether they care what they're thinking," none of us knows, "whether this tape is a frame-up by Lukyanov to sow discord between the general secretary and the military." After all, the general secretary has taken all the people we have found out, and there is no direct evidence to prove that you have any other relationship with Comrade Lukyanov. That's why I'm destroying this tape in front of you today to tell you that you have nothing to do with Lukyanov's betrayal. We have decided that we will not blame the past. ”
Forgive somebody's past misdeeds?
Some of the people in the room stared at Vladimir, and he thought the other party was joking. The coup d'état failed and they were not to blame, and they could not understand what the other side was doing.
"Any questions?" Vladimir looked around, for him, the past was the best outcome, and it was no problem to trade the secret of keeping his mouth shut forever for the support of the restless wall-riders.
Vlakinir dared to do so, not only because of Yanayev's support, but also because of their ability to control the coup. The August 19 coup d'état of 1991 plunged almost the entire country into a terrible crisis. If Yanayev compromised with Yeltsin, he would not be able to control the overall situation.
As for Lukyanov, who has no competitiveness at all, even if all the conservatives are mobilized, they will not be able to shake Yanayev's foundation.
At this time, the policy of carrots and sticks is particularly important. That is, to obtain the internal forces of the original Lukyanov, to digest the last batch of potential enemies, and to allow Comrade Vladimir to increase his internal control, completely deepen the internal prestige of the Airborne Forces, and get the best of both worlds.
He should even thank General Secretary Yanayev for having won this wonderful opportunity for himself.
"Ladies and gentlemen, all of you here are quiet and have finished listening."
Vladimir motioned to the noisy conference room to calm down, "If you don't have any dissent, this meeting is over." The secrets of the past are forever left in the past, and no one else is allowed to talk about them. ”
Vladimir's words reassured everyone. Breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the attitude of the CPSU to the political situation, it is now raining and the sky is clear, and there is nothing else.
Of course, they will not know that Vladimir has decided, within the limits of his term, to order everyone present one after another to retire early and expel from the Airborne Forces.
Before leaving, Vladimir seemed to remember something, reminding everyone present not to get too carried away,
"By the way, I hope you can support the Politburo a lot in the future, and if something similar happens, it will not be simply forgiven. Those who turn their backs on loyalty, will be dealt with personally by General Secretary Yanayev. I hope you don't get to that point, and I don't think anyone will think about what kind of end will happen to the people who are treated by General Secretary Yanayev. ”
Vladimir spoke in a calm manner, leaving a group of stunned people behind him.
Goodbye, everybody.
