Chapter 437 437 Siberia and the Far East Independence

Gorbachev's return did not regain power, and Yeltsin, who had narrowly gained power in a coup d'Γ©tat, was like a powerful villain. Before he resigned as general secretary, Goesch had appointed new heads of two powerful ministries in the name of the president of the Soviet Union, because the bigwigs in the emergency committee had been arrested or committed suicide, leaving many positions vacated. Sherbashin was the chairman of the KGB, and Moiseev was the Minister of Defense. However, Yeltsin did not accept such an appointment at all, and he could not remember that the current president of the Soviet Union was still Goethy, and the head of the emperor came directly to Gorbachev's office and said, "I will not leave the president's office unless the appointment is changed."

This imperative command is a perfect reflection of Gorbachev's loss of power, and his appointment was withdrawn even though it was televised to the whole country, and Gorbachev was like a clown. Yeltsin even stuffed him with orders that he had never communicated with Gorbachev for him to read, and forced the Russian Communist Party to stop all activities, and then looted all the assets of the Russian Communist Party. The Russian Communist Party was the most important component of the CPSU, and after the fall of the Russian Communist Party, the CPSU was also on the verge of extinction.

This was satirized in Western cartoons of this period, and the tall and muscular Yeltsin holding Gorbachev's hand like a child has vividly illustrated the power of the Soviet Union, or rather, the power of Russia.

When Yeltsin thought he had mastered the situation and began to dissolve the CPSU as a conqueror, Qi Yiming, who was fishing in Xiangshan with his son behind his back, had a dull expression and instructed Yu Shenji, a senior agent of the Strategy Bureau behind him: "It's okay to start, let's get our people moving!" ”

"Yes, Director."

The traitorous Yeltsin recognized the independence of the three Baltic states on August 24, and the other republics followed suit: Ukraine declared independence on the 24th, Belarus the next day, Moldova on the 27th, and Azerbaijan on the 30th. The five Central Asian countries have long been secretly controlled by Qi Yiming, and each has also issued a declaration of independence and sovereignty, which is much faster than the process of the other plane.

The independence of these union republics is actually nothing, and what really shocked and panicked the whole world was another thing - the joint declaration of Siberia and the Far East, which did not accept Yeltsin's policy of overthrowing the central power of the Soviet Union and canceling the activities of the Russian Communist Party and the CPSU throughout the country, and declared that Yeltsin and his henchmen were traitors who betrayed the party, the country and the people, and the lackeys of the Western capitalist world, and if Yeltsin insisted on continuing his dangerous actions, then Siberia and the Far East would definitely not be part of capitalist Russia!

No one could have imagined that things would change so dramatically at this juncture, even the Americans, who were content with the continued collapse of the Soviet Union, were shocked. The two people who made this statement were the commander of the Far Eastern Military District, Novorzlov, and the commander of the Siberian Military District, Yankov, two heads of the army with heavy weapons, and they all have nuclear weapons in their jurisdictions!

Not only that, but the Transbaikal Military District and the Far Eastern Military District actually have a Transbaikal Military District sandwiched between them, and their strength is not inferior to that of these two neighboring military districts; after the two military districts made a statement, the commander of the Transbaikal Military District, Semenov, actually disappeared, and the armed forces of the Transbaikal Military District defected to Novoznov and Yankov respectively, thus expanding the strength of the two restless army chiefs.

Novozlov received the vast Republic of Yakutia, and Yankov received the industrially developed Chita and Buryatia Republics, and the territory of the Transbaikal Military District was completely divided. Dizzyingly, Yankov proclaimed the Siberian Soviet Socialist Republic and appointed himself president of the country; Novozlov also proclaimed the establishment of the Far Eastern Soviet Socialist Republic and proclaimed himself president of the country. Coincidentally, both of them declared that Siberia and the Far East have nothing to do with the Russian Federation, are sovereign and independent republics, are socialist countries led by the CP, and even if there were any republics capable of leading them, it should be the USSR, not the Russian Federation.

This incident made Moscow dumbfounded, and just when Yeltsin was about to happily take over the legacy of the Soviet Union and establish his own Russia, he did not expect that Russia, with a total area of more than 10 million square kilometers, would be divided by the CP people in this way. Even the establishment of the republics of Siberia and the Far East has inspired some red elements who are unwilling to accept changes in the social system, and the KGB has already received some reports that some officials and people are planning to flee the Russian Federation and go to Siberia or the Far East.

In his public speech, Yeltsin strongly condemned the separatist acts of Yankov and Novozlov and strongly stated that if the two men did not come to their senses, then it could not be ruled out that Russia would take coercive measures against the separatists. However, these words are very mysterious to the Americans, the five Central Asian countries, the Caspian countries, the three Baltic countries, Ukraine, Belarus and other countries have declared their independence one after another, and their independence is not just a name, the Soviet Union's huge military base has been divided up by them, that is to say, Russia's military strength is the weakest in history.

Although Yeltsin won the support of the army in the coup, his control over the army was still limited, and at this time, he hastily launched a civil war when the regime was not stable. Moreover, the Far Eastern Military District controlled the Soviet Union's Pacific Fleet, and the two republics controlled hundreds of thousands of ground troops and a large amount of air force in the three major military districts, while Yeltsin's available force was very limited.

After the independence of Siberia, there was also a commotion in the neighboring Volga-Ural region, and at the time of the August 19 coup, the commander of the military district, Makashev, openly expressed his support for the Yanayev party. Now that their neighbors are all "reversed", how can this obviously more "reactionary" person still be able to endure it?

Makashev is not the person controlled by Qi Yiming, Qi Yiming is already a little stretched to control the two regions of Siberia and the Far East, and he also wants to get the Ural region, but if he really divides another force to do the work of the Urals, maybe something will go wrong in Siberia and the Far East. Qi Yiming is more happy to see Makashev doing nonsense on his own, and he also knows a little about this person, and the other is a political figure in the CP of the Russian Federation, and he even organized an armed force against Yeltsin during the constitutional crisis in '93. I am somewhat of a ruffian, with a strong sense of anti-Semitism and racism. To put it bluntly, he is a scum CP person.

It would be nothing if Yeltsin had taken advantage of the general trend to subdue the military leaders everywhere, but now it is clear that the warlords of the two frontier areas are going to work against Yeltsin, and there are all indications that the masses in these regions are still more in favor of the preservation of the Soviets than for the so-called Russian Federation. This situation is, of course, the result of Qi Yiming's deliberate propaganda and the influence of the Spiritual Beacon Tower, in short, especially the ethnic Russians in the Far East, who have begun to have a relatively large difference in psychological identity from the Russians in Europe.

If Yeltsin wanted to quell the rebellion at this time, he would feel very troublesome, and Makashev was obviously not easy to deal with, if Yeltsin transferred Makashev to attack Siberia, Makashev would agree? Moreover, the success of Yankov and Novorzlov may give Makashev a false impression that as long as he has soldiers in his hands, then he can have the final say, and whether Makashev will choose to be equally self-reliant has also become a focus of observation from the outside world.

From the perspective of the West, on the one hand, they hope that the Soviet Union will be finished as soon as possible, but on the other hand, they are happy to see more than 10 million square kilometers of land split from Russia, so that Russia can only become a regional power in the future, and lose its influence in the world. But obviously, if Russia fights a real fire with Siberia and the Far East, what if they start to drop atomic bombs on each other? After learning of the independence of Siberia and the Far East, the elder Bush was so entangled that he immediately jumped out to make a speech.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ We understand the difficulties encountered by the Soviet Union in the transition period, and understand that all parties have different insistences and understandings, but in any case, differences should not be resolved by force, and the United States calls on all parties concerned to exercise as much restraint as possible and to properly communicate and talk to solve the problem, and the United States is also willing to play a positive and beneficial role in this process. ”

This sounds a bit like a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Celestial Empire, but the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Celestial Empire is more cautious: "Our country expresses grave concern about the situation in the Soviet Union and urges all parties to exercise restraint and calm ......"

It is Qi Yiming who squats behind the back to control the overall situation, so China does not need to be too eager at this time, let alone directly choose sides. Qi Yiming also knew that Yeltsin was in a lot of trouble now, that the strength of the CPSU had not yet been completely cut off by him, and that the emergence of two independent Soviet republics would enable some suppressed CPSU elements to find a way out and a barrier, and some people would definitely cite them as foreign aid to confront Yeltsin's party in Moscow.

However, Qi Yiming also underestimated Yeltsin, and he believed that Yeltsin was unlikely to really take tough measures against Yankov and Novozlov, and even his regime could not be guaranteed. However, Yeltsin adopted other methods, and Yeltsin began to expose the corruption of some CP officials on a large scale, exposing the large-scale phenomenon of small coffers and abuse of power for personal gain.

At his behest, some writers began to criticize the CPSU on a large scale, describing the CPSU as an anti-national, anti-religious, and anti-human rights villain, a parasite, and without the slightest positive significance. Obviously, such a statement is very marketable in Russia, and many people have increased their disgust with the CPSU, and there have even been cases of attacking and killing CP people, and everyone who has not announced their resignation from the party is in danger.

The hostility and anger of the masses towards the CPSU was soon transferred to the Siberians and the Far Easterners, who considered them shameful scum and tried to divide Russia and perpetuate the filthy doctrine in the country.

In this way, Yeltsin stabilized his regime at a faster pace, and the decentralization of power with the republics began rapidly. Yeltsin preferred to pay more economic or other conditions in order to receive military power from the union republics, and the orientation of this is self-evident.
