"What's the situation outside?" Jiao Guoping ran downstairs without even getting dressed, stopped a waiter and asked in Russian.

The full army is like a parade of rats, swaying under the window, who can not be nervous, who can not be afraid?

The waiter looked quite calm, and said in a low voice, "It's Baku's internal security forces. Didn't you hear the morning broadcast? Baku has entered a state of emergency."

"I don't understand Turkic." For the Chinese in the 90s, Russian was one of the most important foreign languages, but Turkic was the clearest minor language.But in Azerbaijan at this time, the national language was changed to Turkic, and the national radio and television were all in Turkic, which made Jiao Guoping feel extremely inconvenient.

The waiter at the Shaqi Hotel was well-trained, and seeing Jiao Guoping's interest, he immediately explained: "I heard from the radio that Baku and Ganja City have entered a state of emergency, and they are not allowed to go out at night. You must have a valid reason to go out during the day. The special police force has started martial law in Baku, and the internal security forces will go to the Ganja area to restore law and order. In addition, His Excellency the President delivered a speech."

Although not logical, the waiter still gave the information.

Jiao Guoping rubbed the corners of his eyes twice, seemed to see something, and ran to the phone at the end of the corridor without saying a word.

The waiter looked at his back and stretched out his hand, imagining the feeling of the tip falling into his palm.

This time, no one stopped Jiao Guoping from making a call, and he quickly contacted the embassy to get the latest news. Lead troops that are loyal to themselves.Uprising from Ganja, marching on the capital Baku, demanding the resignation of Eric Bey.And the Azerbaijani Internal Guard.In fact, it was going to the front to resist Husseinov's soldiers.

There is no doubt that Sioux City's prediction is correct!

Thinking of this conclusion, Jiao Guoping lost interest in talking while holding the phone.

"Why don't you talk?" The embassy military attache on the other end of the phone said loudly: "The situation is chaotic now. Where are you? What happened?"

"I'm in the Shaqi Hotel, and I can't go back for the time being." Jiao Guoping didn't say much.

Say what?

Do tell the embassy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Su Cheng already guessed it?The information he got one day in advance lost its value by this time.

Sioux City's forecast.It is being realized step by step.

Although the final outcome is cloudy, the situation has indeed changed dramatically.

Whether it is a diplomat like Jiao Guoping or the reporters running around in the hotel, I am afraid that Elchibey will no longer be regarded as the hope of Central Asia.

The good words of the past will eventually pass away with the wind.the person being evaluated.Will taste the ups and downs of reality.

The Popular Front members who were punished by Elchibey could only secretly lick their wounds whether they were happy or not.But old warlords like Husseinov will not be so obedient.

Husseinov's qualifications are no worse than Elchi Bey's, and he also performed well in the war in the Naka region, because of his outstanding military exploits he was also awarded the title of Azerbaijan's national hero.

In the war with Armenia, although Husseinov was defeated, his army was weak.Non-war crimes.

Elchibey dismissed his position as the commander of the National Army, and Husseinov naturally refused to accept it.Most of the people who are as full of resentment as him are local power factions.These people, even in the Soviet era, were not so content with themselves, let alone facing the scholar-born Elchibey who was just getting into politics.

On the one hand, the strength of the People's Front party has been weakened, and on the other hand, there are local forces who are not convinced. Even if Husseinov can bear it, the people around him will force him to carry this big banner.

When Elchibey traded the future and destiny of others in exchange for the end of the demonstration and great prestige, local resistance was inevitable.

The difference lies only in the scope and consequences of the revolt.

Elchibey, who has always been a hardliner, made the same choice this time as he chose to counter the rebellion by force in the face of the Naka controversy!

Baku's Internal Guard remains the most powerful force in Azerbaijan.They have the best equipment, the best pay, and the hardest training.

This army is also where Elchibey's confidence lies.Similar to the National Revolutionary Army in the era of Sun Yat-sen in China, the quality of the internal guards is commendable in all aspects, and it is effectively controlled by the "People's Front".

Baku's market has not yet been chaotic, but also because of people's trust in the internal security forces.More than half of Azerbaijan's military expenditure has been invested in this army, and their strength is of course stronger than Husseinov's army.

But Jiao Guoping was far from feeling at ease. After he hung up the phone, he thought about it for a while, but he couldn't figure it out, so he went to look for Sucheng.

Shaqi Restaurant is not big, Jiao Guoping quickly found Su Cheng in the bar on the basement floor.

"Baku's internal security forces and special police are dispatched, you really aren't afraid of being arrested." Jiao Guoping calmed down, and half-jokingly sat beside Su Cheng.

"Give him a glass too." Su Cheng said to the bartender, but asked instead, "Why didn't you go back?"

"Too many questions, I'm reluctant to go back." Jiao Guoping stared at Su Cheng, and said, "I have to admit that the development of the situation has turned around a bit, but it hasn't reached the critical point yet. I still don't understand why you are so sure Aliyev going to power? There's too much...too much..."

"key point?"

"Yes, there are too many key points." Jiao Guoping picked up a third glass of gin with a wry smile, and drank it clean in one gulp, with a sharp sip.

Su Cheng signaled the bartender to refill it, picked up the glass and sipped it slowly, and said with a smile: "The real key point has passed. Now there are only two things left, the result of the internal guards' suppression of the Ganja rebellion, and Ali's It's just whether Yev can come to power."

"The most beneficial thing for you is the failure of the internal defense forces, and Husseinov's victory in Baku, but the loss is huge, and both sides suffer, right?" Jiao Guoping is still very good at analyzing these.

"This is almost destined." Su Cheng said as if narrating.

Jiao Guoping was taken aback: "Azerbaijan's internal guards are the strongest, just in terms of equipment. They are better than Husseinov's army. I don't know much about military affairs, but there are almost the same number of internal guards with better equipment. Troops. Even if the rebellion cannot be suppressed quickly, it is not inevitable."

Su Cheng glanced at him and said, "The equipment is better? Where did you know that?"

"This... Azerbaijan receives the most military expenditures, it is the internal guards."

"That's one of the reasons why Husseinov's soldiers are aggrieved. They are working hard on the front line, but they are not treated as well as the casual internal guards. However, the source of funding for equipment. Not necessarily Azerbaijani government funds."

Jiao Guoping thought of a possibility and asked in surprise, "Have you funded Husseinov?"

"To be precise, Aliyev funded Husseinov."

"How much did you fund? Where did you get the arms?"

"It's the land of the Soviet Union. As long as there are US dollars, there are no arms." Su Cheng said, "Aliyev distributed a total of 5000 million US dollars to Husseinov. This time, he sponsored another million U.S. dollars. Not much. A total of 00 million."

"7000 million dollars..." Jiao Guoping drank the gin in his glass again.Just like what Su Cheng said, in the territory of the former Soviet Union, as long as you have money, you can buy any kind of ammunition, and you can have as much as you want.The former Soviet Union is like an infinite arsenal of supplies, a steady stream of gifts to the opposition all over the world.In this part of Azerbaijan, if you buy ak47 wholesale, at most 3 dollars is enough.If you meet a conscientious one, maybe you can get 300 rounds of ammunition as a bonus.

7000 million US dollars to purchase arms in Azerbaijan.An elite tank brigade can be bought, and if it is used to arm light infantry, that number is too much.Not to mention that Husseinov had other sources of funding.

"Will Baku's internal guards lose?" Jiao Guoping said bitterly.

"Don't worry, we'll see the outcome soon." Su Cheng said a word, drank the contents of the cup, and went upstairs to sleep.

For the next few days, nothing happened to him.

Jiao Guoping hesitated again and again, and finally returned to the embassy.

At such tense moments, party members always hope to snuggle in the arms of the organization.

Guo Jingxiang and others naturally made some inquiries, but there was no result.No matter how you say it, Jiao Guoping is a real-time deputy director. He doesn't want to say it, and no one can force him to say it.

And the development of the situation made Jiao Guoping lose interest in speaking more and more.

When the state of emergency was implemented for the second week, the city of Baku became chaotic again.

During the day, the streets that should have been deserted and quiet became lively again.

All kinds of vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians, like Chinese returning home during the Spring Festival, are busy preparing to leave the city or stay in the city.

The food in the grocery store was snapped up, the transportation vehicles were crowded, and the black market for pawning and exchanging goods opened up all over Baku overnight... The soldiers of the special police force took care of it at first, but the crowd increased rapidly. It makes them change from actively making laws to being indifferent.

The next day, some members of the special police unit were even absent.

When such information gathered at the Chinese embassy, ​​Jiao Guoping realized clearly that the internal guards were defeated.

His idea was confirmed that afternoon.

The staff of the embassy sent to buy newspapers sprinted back to the embassy, ​​holding the freshly baked evening paper in their hands, and shouted loudly: "The internal guards have been defeated, and Husseinov has advanced into Baku!"

"Routed?" The meaning of the word is much more severe than defeat.

The military attache of the embassy was the first to understand, and immediately said: "Close the door and send a telegram to the country."

"Any more news?" Guo Jingxiang snatched the newspaper nervously, skipping the large picture of Husseinov standing on the tank, and read the summary first.

The translator at the embassy read at the same time: "His Excellency Husseinov, former commander of the National Army, announced that representatives from all parties were invited to gather in Baku to discuss the future of Azerbaijan. The invited representatives are: Aliyev ..."

The first name was Aliyev, and Guo Jingxiang's face turned pale.

This is definitely not a good sign. He couldn't imagine Minister Zheng's expression when he received this telegram.
