Chapter 270: The Caucasus and Chechnya (Part II)
In September 1999, he dispatched 100,000 troops to direct troops into Chechnya from two directions to blockade and launch military strikes against Chechnya.
After aerial bombardment and ground encirclement, a large number of Chechen armed forces were eliminated, and the Russian army controlled almost the entire territory of Chechnya. However, the remaining armed forces in Chechnya have been reduced to fragments, and guerrilla tactics have been adopted both inside and outside Chechnya, with frequent assassinations and terrorist activities.
In particular, in the past two years, Chechen militants have been rampant in their activities and have continuously committed terrorist attacks, causing a large number of casualties and property losses.
In early February 2000, the Russian army captured Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, and won a decisive victory in the counterinsurgency operation.
On 8 June 2000, he signed a decree introducing direct presidential administration of Chechnya, which was to be implemented by Kazantsev, the President's representative in the North Caucasus.
On 16 June 2000, the Mufti of Chechnya, Kadyrov, an opposition to the former Maskhadov government, was appointed head of the Chechen interim government.
At the beginning of 2001, it was ordered that the task of clearing the remnants of Chechnya bandits be transferred from the Ministry of Defence to the Federal Security Service. A government and permanent executive bodies were established in Chechnya, and Ilyasov, the former head of the Stavropol government, was appointed prime minister of the new Chechen government.
This marked the beginning of the transition of Chechnya from a state of war to a state of normalcy.
Since February 2001, the Russian authorities have withdrawn their troops from Chechnya.
After the "9/11" incident, the United States significantly softened its stance on the Chechen issue out of the need to build a global anti-terrorist coalition. The Chechen separatists have been dealt a heavy blow politically and militarily are powerless to carry out a counterattack, and regard the creation of terrorist attacks as the only effective means of obstructing the Chechen peace process.
In the second half of 2002, the activities of Chechen terrorists became increasingly rampant, shooting down federal military planes with missiles on many occasions and causing a number of vicious terrorist incidents.
On 23 October 2002, Chechen terrorists occupied a theater in Moscow, took nearly 800 hostages, and demanded an end to the war in Chechnya and the withdrawal of federal troops from Chechnya. The Russian special forces took action on the 26th, supplemented by the release of narcotic chemical gases and other means, and rescued all the remaining hostages after the death of 129 hostages.
On 27 December 2002, Chechen terrorists drove two vehicles loaded with explosives into a Chechen government building, destroying the entire building, killing at least 83 people and injuring more than 100.
In October 2003, Kadyrov was officially elected President of Chechnya of the Russian Federation.
On 9 May 2004, a bomb exploded in Chechnya, killing President Ahmad Kadyrov instantly.
On 29 August 2004, after a presidential election, Alu Arkhanov was elected president.
On 1 September 2004, Chechen separatist militants took students, teachers and parents hostage at the No. 1 Secondary School in Beslan, Republic of North Ossetia, in southern Russia, which ended on 3 September 2004. A total of 333 people were killed.
In March 2005, former Chechen President Maskhadov died in fighting with Russia.
On 4 March 2006, Ramzan Kadyrov, the son of Akhmad Kadyrov, was appointed Prime Minister of the Chechen Republic.
In July 2006, Basayev, a hard-line independence activist and leader in directing terrorist operations against Russia, was killed in combat with Russia's Federal Security Service.
On 5 April 2007, Ramzan Kadyrov was sworn in as President of Chechnya.
On 16 April 2009, the Russian authorities declared the war in Chechnya officially over.
The Chechens are not just legends, it is said that in the Russian army, the Chechens would bully the Russian soldiers, making them clean their boots and do other services. There are even rumors in the army: "I would rather fall into the hands of the enemy than be comrades-in-arms with the Chechens!" 》
I said to Sergey that even if Ruslan is a Chechen, the chief of police will not turn against his colleagues just because of this, right?
Sergey looked at me and smiled and said:
- "Linna, I really can't treat you like a little girl anymore! Someone had called the director, but I also told Ruslan not to get too many people involved. After all, the police also have to eat, and everyone knows that their salaries are really pitiful! ”
What I didn't expect was that Sergey inadvertently revealed his opinion of me! Although I felt that I might not be Sergei's right-hand man, as Daniel said, I did not expect that I was just a little girl in Sergei's eyes.
Could it be that he gave me my birthday and took me back to China for the New Year, and even helped me solve "Acne Scars" this time, not out of reward for my work, but out of his gentlemanly act of hoeing the strong and helping the weak?
Hearing Sergei say that he no longer treats me as a little girl, I think he must have noticed something in me. Although I am not sensitive to these changes myself, I think they must be there.
His words also made me explore the difference between Sergei's feelings in the past two years:
Although Sergei has always given the impression of being shrewd, capable, calm and wise. But now compared with before, he still has less youthful ambition, and more experience and experience of generosity and open-mindedness.
After this incident, there were no more extortion incidents against Chinese in the Lyubolino market. That "Acne Scar" also disappeared from everyone's sight.
