On December 21, nearly 100,000 people gathered in the square in front of the headquarters of the Romanian Communist Party in Bucharest, Romania, and when Ceausescu saw the black-pressed crowd standing there, he did not feel any difference, still immersed in the soul and mind of the country, and all Romanians should follow their instructions.

Many politicians made immortal deeds when they were young and middle-aged, but when they entered old age, they were stupid and stubborn, and ruined the business they had worked so hard to run in the first half of their lives. The list goes on and on, and it doesn't need to be specifically illustrated, and Ceausescu is clearly one such person.

As the second-generation leader of Romania, Ceausescu, after taking over, first reversed unjust, false and wrongful convictions, removed and criticized Georgious? This series of actions enabled him to unite the heart of the party and the people, and successfully established his personal prestige. In terms of economic construction, during the period of Ceausescu's administration, three five-year plans were formulated and completed, and Romania entered its own golden period of development, transforming from a typical agricultural country with underdeveloped industry and backward agriculture to an industrial and agricultural country with a strong industry and socialist agriculture in the process of comprehensive modernization.

However, there are also some deviations in this process, for example, like many socialist Eastern European countries, Romania pays more attention to the development of heavy industry and ignores civilian light industry, resulting in an imbalance in industrial development; In times of economic problems, Ceausescu not only failed to find ways to carry out reforms and improvements, but even demanded that all Romanians "tighten their belts and live", restricting imports when they could not meet the needs of their own people, and exporting a large number of various products abroad to pay off foreign debts.

The decline in living standards directly led to a decline in Romanian people's trust and favorability towards the Ceausescu regime, and also laid the most direct foreshadowing for future changes.

Ceausescu, who had already reached a certain point of mediocrity, did not realize that there had been an organization in the CPZ that conspired against him, nor did he realize that the West had used great force to infiltrate Romania and prepare to overthrow him, and still less did he realize that as a CP leader, he was detached from the masses, and the masses could no longer tolerate him and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

He looked at the unsettled Romanians under the podium, and instead of feeling them angry and dissatisfied, he thought that they were excited to meet the "all-knowing, all-powerful" leader.

“…… My dear Romanian compatriots, my faithful and trustworthy Romanian communists, we must always be vigilant against the dirty and hostile conspiracy of the West, the events in Timisoara are by no means simple, and we must not allow anyone to destroy our socialist country, to question the leadership of our excellent government and the Romanian Communist Party! Everyone can clearly see that a small number of saboteurs and thugs, with the connivance of the West, are constantly making trouble and attacking the government, which has seriously affected our social order and national stability. Ceausescu expressed his opinion with enthusiasm and took it for granted that his speech would put everyone on the same side as him, that the events in Timisoara were characterized as a negative riot, and that it was necessary for the regime to use all means to bring the situation under control.

But Ceausescu was not Yuri, and it was impossible to force others to accept his ideas. The Timișoara incident was fermented and exaggerated by Western public opinion, coupled with the unclear truth and heckling of the Romanian media, which finally seemed to ignite the anger in the hearts of all Romanians. The incident has long been characterized by the brutal and bloody suppression of the demonstrators by the authorities, resulting in a large number of casualties. What is the use of a government that does not protect its own people, but wants to slaughter them?

No one thought that there was a mastermind behind the whole incident, that the demonstrators were suppressed by taking drastic illegal actions and attacking government facilities, and that the number of casualties and the level of bloodshed were magnified exponentially. In any case, a repression of demonstrations that has occurred in the history of the road has been the trigger for Ceausescu to push him into the abyss.

At this time, some people in the back row of the crowd set off firecrackers, and the highly nervous secret police, believing that the perpetrators were intent on assassinating the leader, immediately shot and killed the person who set off the firecrackers, which led to a small chaos at the scene, but Ceausescu calmly pressed down with his hands to calm the situation down a little.

But the situation has not completely calmed down, and the loudspeaker that came out of nowhere shouted: "The secret police have shot and killed!" ”

The crowd didn't care if it was true or not, they couldn't really see what was going on, so when they heard the news that the police had started killing people, everyone panicked, and many people were at a loss as to what to do. It was at this time that some people set an example for all the people at the rally, some students and ordinary citizens suddenly shouted slogans against Ceausescu and for the Communist Party to step down and end the dictatorship, and others shouted for revenge for the victims of Timisoara.

Ceausescu saw that the news was wrong, and immediately stopped the event and left the scene under the escort of his henchmen.

This scene was also captured by the cameras that were being broadcast, and it was relaxed to the whole of Romania, and when ordinary Romanians saw the Bucharest people shouting slogans for Ceausescu to step down, the whole revolution was even better, and people began to sympathize with the victims of Timisoara, and began to accuse Ceausescu of his unscrupulous and tyrannical nature, and all the atmosphere came to an end.

"These damn mobs, these brainless idiots!" Ceausescu returned to his official residence and still could not calm his anger, this was originally an occasion to show his support for himself quickly turned into a demonstration against him, Ceausescu had never been in power for decades, and he was too old to make the right choice.

"What about Millia's coal pusher? Give him an order to immediately send out an army to drive away this mob that does not know the height of the sky. ”

Ceausescu's wife, and the first deputy prime minister of Romania, Elena? Ceausescu said: "These mobs are stubborn and resolute, and I am afraid that mere dispersal will not be effective in deterring Xiaoxiao." "Behind a successful man there is often a great woman, and behind a mediocre man there is often an evil and vicious woman.

Ceausescu's eyes froze, and he said: "Well, if someone does not obey the order and tells Milia to shoot them directly, my country does not need such disobedient people!" ”

Ceausescu's directive was sent to Defense Minister Vasily? In Milia's case, the Minister of Defense enjoyed considerable prestige in the military, but he was not in tune with Ceausescu, who would even openly call him a "coal pusher" and lacked basic respect.

At this juncture, Milia was shocked to receive Ceausescu's order, and he directly threw the order aside and replied: "I can't carry out such an order, our people's army is to defend the people, not to suppress the people!" ”

Ceausescu's men said angrily: "Those people are clearly mobs, and they deserve to be exterminated!" ”

Milia said stiffly: "Forgive me! ”

Ceausescu's henchmen were furious, and Milia was also quite worried. On the one hand, he was really reluctant to shoot at ordinary demonstrators, and on the other hand, if he did, Ceausescu would still not like him, and he might have pulled him out of the tank afterwards, saying that he had done all this willingly, and denied that the order came from him. Milia was not stupid at all, he knew that if he did not take this order, he might die, but if he received this order, not only would he definitely die, but his reputation would definitely be ruined, in this case, he would die a glorious death.

When the news came back to Ceausescu, Ceausescu was not only angry, but also a little frightened, because today's events made him feel that everything was out of his control, and the people who had supported him had become enemies, and those who had listened to his orders directly disobeyed him.

"No, I want them to know that I am still the master of this country!" Ceausescu slapped the table and immediately ordered his henchmen to go and execute Miria, and with this vigorous and tough gesture, he would completely deter those who were dissatisfied and dissatisfied with him. He had become accustomed to gaining authority in a fearful way, but he did not know that the way of things must be reversed, and when people were already terrified, they stopped being afraid, and began to make the last effort to prevent the tragic situation.

By the time Ceausescu's men arrived at the Ministry of Defense, the building was empty, and Defense Minister Milia was gone. At this time, even these loyal lackeys of Ceausescu sniffed out a hint of something not quite right and became a little worried.

Milia committed suicide in a dilemma in its original history, and his family accused Ceausescu of executing him. Later, after investigation, it was believed that he committed suicide with the pistol of the attendant, but there are still many suspicions. In this plane, the Strategy Bureau had already arranged a series of means, and after Milia rejected Ceausescu on the front foot, Nicolai sent agents lurking in the Ministry of Defense to rescue Milia on the back foot.

Although Milia did not join the Patriotic Front, after he refused Ceausescu's order to suppress it, he was a very useful pawn that must be properly preserved and fought for. Milia didn't know who had saved him, but he was more worried about the future of Romania.
