Chapter 503 503 Arrest Yeltsin
"You asked me to send troops to St. Petersburg?" Putin, who has always looked cold and indifferent, also doubled his eyes in shock, looking at the subordinates he trusted in front of him.
"Yes, it's not a bad idea, it's a great one. Getting rid of Yeltsin is an explanation to those people who hate him, and it can also make you more famous, so that some people who hate him will remember you and support you; Second, the Chinese must be so angry that Yeltsin is going to die, and they do not need Yeltsin to remain president of Russia, but a new president who can maintain goodwill with China. Once you have good relations with China and have their support, you will be the best candidate in the race for the presidency. "Nikolai plays the role of his dog-headed military advisor.
Putin took a few minutes to digest this proposal of Nikolai, and it is undeniable that it is definitely very constructive. Regardless of the part that has ties with the Chinese, it is already very worthwhile to pull down the current president and then make his own name.
What is missing in Russian politics right now? Isn't it just a politician who lacks vigor and courage? Isn't it also the thing he dreams of to show his strength through this incident, let the people know him, and officially enter the political stage of this country?
After thinking about it carefully, Putin pursed his lips and said: "Okay, let's do it, Nikolai, you go and gather our fighters, and tomorrow morning we will march to St. Petersburg, let us mud legs, go and dissolve the State Duma and the federal government!" ”
Nikolai saluted and claimed yes.
There is no doubt that Nikolai made such a proposal because of the shadow of the decision-making level of the Strategic Bureau. Asking Putin to help him pull Yeltsin down is a trick that Qi Yiming came up with. The Americans have become more and more aggressive in wanting to carve up something from Russia, although the odds are low. However, the Americans who have no discipline will not be able to reap the benefits, and it is very likely that they will also make a stumbling block for China.
A chaotic Russia is not what the United States wants to see, but it is better than a united and completely subordinate Russia to China.
The United States began to make eye contact with Yeltsin, and with the hated false title of president on Yeltsin's head, Qi Yiming felt quite constrained although he had strong force. He can not recognize Yeltsin, but this will have a certain negative effect. When the time comes, if he sets up a new government in Russia, he will inevitably have to let them fight with Yeltsin, although Yeltsin's end is inevitable, but he also hates it.
Qi Yiming not only instigated Putin to be the knife for himself, but also made a lot of supporting measures, first of all, he bribed the current commander of the Northern Fleet with a bundle of dollar bills, asking him to strictly abide by neutrality and wait until the situation is stable before swearing allegiance to the formal Russian government. The greatest significance of this is to let those strategic nuclear submarines of the Northern Fleet not make trouble for themselves.
At this time, it was inconvenient for him to seize the last of Russia's nuclear forces, so he simply studied the chairman of the committee to use a silver bullet offensive, anyway, it only took a few days, and I believe that he would recognize the situation himself.
Moreover, Qi Yiming also bribed the military chief of the Federal Russian Army garrison St. Petersburg, Yeltsin mixed very poorly in St. Petersburg, and did not pay enough attention to these troops, so after receiving Qi Yiming's money, the Federal Russian Army in St. Petersburg immediately patted his chest and promised to listen only to Moscow.
In addition, a group of more than 20 Red Police special forces ambushed in the city of St. Petersburg, and if things go wrong or Putin changes his mind, these people will directly execute Yeltsin and put the blame on Putin.
In short, after making so many preparations, he has one goal, that is, Yeltsin must die!
At the very least, it is a complete death in a political career.
……
So, with all the calculations and Putin in the dark about his exploitation, his partisans drove into St. Petersburg with great ease, and basically met with no resistance. The local garrison hid in the camp and did not come out, and although Putin was a little worried, he only sent people to keep an eye on their camp to prevent any movement. Only a small number of police forces clashed with the guerrillas, and there were no casualties as a result of the exchange of fire.
At the city hall in St. Petersburg, Putin met Yeltsin and a guy he did not know.
Nikolai pointed to the old man with a very bad face and said: "It's a Yankee, it seems that he is still the secretary of state of the United States or something, he should have come to St. Petersburg for a secret meeting with Yeltsin." ”
Putin's face turned cold, and he reprimanded: "Sure enough, I have never given up contact with foreign forces, and I feel that I have betrayed the country and sold it thoroughly enough, right?" ”
Yeltsin didn't know Putin much at all, and when he was mentioned to Putin, he didn't know who Putin was, thinking that he was a "puppet army" organized by the Chinese.
"Bastard, I am the legitimate president of Russia, the representative and symbol of the country, what right do you have to arrest me, rebel thief!" Yeltsin shouted.
Putin snorted and said: "In the whole country, are there any more chaotic and thief guys than you and Gorbachev?" ”
He didn't want to talk nonsense with this guy anymore, and loudly announced: "I declare that the illegal Yeltsin government and the State Duma are immediately dissolved, and in addition, Yeltsin has been arrested for treason, dereliction of duty, and betrayal of state secrets, removed from the presidency, and awaited trial by law!" ”
In any era, if you want to engage in struggle, except for some high-level situations that can be done by buttoning your hat, most of the time you still need to withdraw the name of the law as a tiger's skin. Obviously, it was not a very difficult thing to fabricate charges against Yeltsin, and Putin casually pulled out a few of them and asked the partisans to take this guy who was still scolding and swearing.
Eagleberg glanced at Yeltsin, he didn't expect things to come to this point, but he didn't feel sorry for it, he felt that Yeltsin would not succeed from the beginning, and now it was just a little earlier.
He looked at the young leader in front of him, although his appearance was not particularly outstanding, and he was not very tall among the Russian hair, but he had a particularly cold and calm temperament. He looks very low-key on the outside, but he can feel a kind of flamboyance in this blandness.
"This is an ambitious man!" Eagleberg judged.
Putin glanced at Eagleberg and said, "I've frightened you, Mr. Secretary, maybe now we can have a good talk." ”
Nikolai, who was standing beside him, was not a good object, although he had guided Putin to be friendly to China before, but any politician with brains would think of using the power of another big country to suppress China in such a situation, so as to achieve a balance between Russia in the middle as much as possible, and protect his own interests.
The point is that Nikolai can't say anything to refute it yet, because even if there is no agreement with the United States, such a meeting is necessary and important for Putin.
"Very happy, haven't asked yet, are you?" Eagleberg asked, Yeltsin couldn't get in, and if this guy was a figure worth cultivating, he wouldn't mind taking advantage of it.
"Vladimir? Putin, there is no name that anyone has heard of now, and there will be no one who will not know the name in the future! ”
……
The meeting between Putin and Eagleberg was short, because Eagleberg was tired and frightened today, so Putin arranged for him to rest again. Nikolai accompanied Putin and Eagleberg throughout the meeting, Putin did not speak English very well, and Nikolai was fluent in English and could act as his interpreter.
In the middle, Nikolai thought about translating something wrong and causing the two sides to fall out, but in the end he chose not to do it.
Putin and Eagleberg did not talk about anything too practical, but more about greetings. Putin talked about his previous experience in East Germany as a KGB, and the two also discussed the advantages and disadvantages of German and American cars, and finally Putin mentioned some of his own events after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and Eagleberg listened most attentively in this part.
After the conversation, Nikolai couldn't help but ask Putin: "Boss, why are you just talking about something that is not nutritious, and shouldn't you win the support of the Americans?" ”
Putin said very calmly: "I'm not Yeltsin, I'm not interested in betraying the country or anything." It's necessary to have a relationship with the United States, but I'm not interested in being an American's dog. ”
Nikolai asked again: "Then why are you talking about those contents?" ”
"First of all, to calm the American who was about to explode his gallbladder, and then to show him what kind of person I am. I don't need to know him, but he needs to understand me, even from small things. ”
Nikolai said bitterly: "It's like an interview!" ”
Putin finally showed a very shallow smile and said: "I'm afraid it will take some time to deal with the Americans, and then we should prepare a press conference, to be honest, I'm still a little nervous!" ”
Nikolai also smiled kindly and asked, "So do you want to contact the Chinese now?" ”
Putin thought for a moment and said: "Send those useless parliamentarians and officials to Moscow, you do it yourself, talk to the Chinese behind the scenes, I want to know what they are going to do." ”
He didn't know that Nikolai went to Moscow not to communicate, but to report to work, and Nikolai was secretly relieved, it seems that he can still win over Putin.
Later in the evening, Putin issued a statement that he personally read through St. Petersburg's television station and foreign correspondents, in which he said that Yeltsin, the illegitimate president, was angry and resentful during his term of office, and that the charges of dereliction of duty, corruption, and treason were unforgivable, and that Putin now represents the Russian people in his presidency and called on the Russian people to unite at a difficult juncture to discuss the state of affairs and discuss a political solution that will be helpful to Russia's future.
