Chapter 416: Landing in Moscow

Further on, there was the city of Torzhok, and Rust's route was almost along the railway, and only then would he be able to find his destination accurately.

In the airspace here, there are helicopters everywhere, and Rust is flying and watching, Mi-17, Mi-26 helicopters, all kinds of helicopters, are flying in the sky, and there are even Ka-25 helicopters with coaxial reversal.

What are they doing? Rust was very curious, he watched the helicopters, flying around him, Rust's Cessna was mixed in, and no one noticed his existence.

Little did he know that the day before, there had just been an air crash in which a MiG-25 collided with a Tu-22M strategic bomber. The sky here is full of helicopters on search missions. Rust's flight speed and altitude were perfectly matched by the helicopter, and although there was no response from the friend or foe identifier, the radar operators here rightfully identified it as one of many rescue helicopters without any suspicion.

On this day, there are coincidences everywhere, and when there are many coincidences, it is no longer a coincidence, but some kind of conspiracy.

For this day, Gorbachev has been preparing for a long time, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to completely bring down those diehards in the army! Everything along the way was carefully designed by him.

Of course, in addition to these, there is also the final level.

As the capital of the great Red Empire, the air defense network near Moscow is very tight, any UFO that dares to approach Moscow will be ruthlessly shot down, there are many radars around Moscow to form a tight air defense network, even ultra-low-altitude flying objects, will be detected, and there are rubber sleeve anti-missile systems near Moscow. Even if a nuclear bomb flies over, they have enough ability to fight back.

In the Kremlin, Gorbachev sat in his chair and said to Ogarkov next to him: "East German adventurers, where have you been?" ”

"I guess there will be another ten minutes or so." Ogarkov said, completely obedient to Ogarkov's team. Just waiting on the route, they could even see the Cessna plane with their eyes.

"An order was given to shut down the automated control system of the Moscow air defense network for a shutdown overhaul." Gorbachev said: "We want to give this young man the last chance. ”

"Yes." Ogarkov said that he was the only one who knew about Gorbachev's plan, and that even the KGB did not know about this secret operation.

Rust didn't know how thrilling he was along the way, he just knew. Having managed to get into the skies over Moscow, he saw the spires of the buildings, and his heart was constantly crying out.

Unfortunately, it was already late now, and his plane set off in the morning, maintaining a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, and by the time it arrived in Moscow, it was already half past seven in the evening.

I have finally completed this great adventure. I am the bravest person! Rust was overjoyed in his heart, right now. He is faced with the last question, where to land?

The Kremlin is the political center of the USSR, and all orders are sent from there, so it's better to land there!

Rust flew towards the center of Moscow. However, when he circled the Kremlin, he did not see a suitable platform for take-off and landing, and his plane, although small, also needed more than 100 meters of open space. And there can be no tall buildings on either side, the inside of the Kremlin is not suitable.

Looking at the spire buildings, Rust knew that he couldn't land, but when he flew over, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Isn't that the Basil Cathedral?

Turning on the landing lights, Rust twisted the lever back and forth, watching the flaps on the wings sway back and forth, and the plane swaying from side to side, as he flew over the heads of the crowd.

And these people, too, raised their heads and watched him fly by, waving their arms at him.

On the street, Kosolukov, the sentry in charge of the patrol, looked at the plane overhead, and very nervously ran to a nearby telephone booth to call his superior, Major Tokarev on duty at the Red Square Security Service.

"Report to the Major, a plane was spotted, flying over Red Square." Kosolukov said.

A lazy voice came from there: "There is a plane taking aerial photography today, it must be an aerial helicopter, you don't have to worry about it, just be careful not to let the cow break into Red Square." ”

Hung up, Kosolukov still sensed that something was wrong, helicopter? Just flew over, not a helicopter, but a fixed-wing propeller aircraft!

However, the sky really didn't belong to him, and at this moment, he saw the plane pulling down the trajectory, about to descend!

There were too many people here, and Rust didn't want to cause an accident by his landing, so, after trying three times, he finally found a suitable place, at the southern end of the bridge over the Moscow River, the wheels of the plane rubbed against the ground, he gently pressed the brakes, and the plane finally stopped.

The pedestrians here looked at him with amazement, only to see that out of the plane was a young man they had never seen before, this person was wearing a flight jacket common in the West, and he was not Soviet!

"Hello, I'm from Germany!" Rust shouted in German: "I came here with friendship, I like Moscow very much. ”

At this time, Rust was completely showing his abilities, it was a huge adventure, and he succeeded!

Unfortunately, instead of a welcome applause, everyone was retreating, and a group of sentries in gray uniforms hurried over.

"What are you going to do?" Rust looked at these people, set himself up, dragged himself into a car, and felt bad, he was just a civilian, and he didn't have any malicious intent!

And this plane was quickly towed away, but unfortunately, this incident quickly spread all over the world.

When Defense Minister Marshal Sokolov found out about this, he was taken aback, a young man from Germany, piloting a civilian plane, from West Germany to Moscow! And along the way, there was no reaction from your own air defense system! This is a huge dereliction of duty! The whole world is watching the jokes of the Soviet Union, if this time it is not civilian planes, but NATO bombers, Moscow has already been bombed by NATO!

"This matter must be investigated and dealt with strictly!" Marshal Sokolov said.

"Comrade Minister of Defense, General Secretary Gorbachev summoned you." It was at this moment that Marshal Sokolov received an order.

When Marshal Sokolov approached Gorbachev's office, he heard an angry voice inside: "Our army, are they all rice buckets?" Our troops, armed with tens of billions of rubles, can't even intercept a civilian plane? What's the use of you still in the army? ”

He pushed open the door and saw Air Marshal Kordinov, Deputy Minister of Defense and Commander-in-Chief of the Air Defense Forces, Senior General Lushev, Deputy Minister of National Defense, and others in the office, being scolded by Gorbachev to the point of blood.

Marshal Sokolov pushed the door in, looked at the furious Gorbachev, and said: "I'm sorry, General Secretary, this time our air defense forces have made serious mistakes, and as Minister of Defense, I have an unshirkable responsibility." ”

Marshal Sokolov knew that these people were brought up by him, and they were his henchmen, and at this time, he had to support his henchmen, and he was their strong backing.

Taking all the responsibility on himself, Sokolov did not shirk.

"There are serious problems in the army, the air defense system is aging, the new information system is not being applied, and the electronic system is old, which has led to the continuous loopholes in our air defense network. This shows that our army has indeed made a serious mistake! Gorbachev said: "As the commander-in-chief of the army, Sokolov, you have the greatest responsibility, and now, I order, to remove you from the post of defense minister." ”

Suddenly, Sokolov's face turned pale for a while, and he suddenly thought of something, Gorbachev had long looked at himself unpleasantly!

This time, there was such a serious mistake, although he was responsible, but at most, it was a leadership responsibility, and it was enough to catch some fighters of the air defense forces below and hold them accountable, but now, Gorbachev said that his responsibility was the most important, and he removed himself from his post!

But I just said that it is mainly my own responsibility! How stupid! Now, I don't even have a chance to refute myself! Moreover, Gorbachev said something just now, this time the vulnerability of the air defense system is not the problem of a certain radar soldier on the front line, the entire air defense system is aging, the information capability is not strong, and the electronic technology is outdated. He is going to take this opportunity to carry out a big blood exchange!

"Kordunov, Lushev, and all of you have been relieved of their current positions!" Gorbachev said: "The army needs new ideas, and it cannot always cling to the old artillery!" It's the age of information! ”

Gorbachev's actions were very sharp, and this time, a German civilian plane, driven straight in, landed in Moscow, and it was simply a slap in the face of the powerful red Soviet Union.

All 10 generals and 298 lieutenant officers, including Defense Minister Sokolov, Deputy Ministers Kordinov and Lushev, were removed from their posts for serious dereliction of duty. At the same time, Marshal Ogarkov, who was in Turkmenistan and was responsible for directing the war in Afghanistan, was transferred back to Moscow to serve as the Minister of Defense of the USSR.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that through this incident, Gorbachev consolidated his position, and those disobedient generals all went home, and he finally achieved the absolute leadership of the Soviet Union. (To be continued......)
