Soviet Godfather

Just after the news that Selesha appeared in Leningrad, Yazov and others were in a difficult situation! Although the Emergency Management Committee has declared that the capital Moscow has entered a state of martial law. But those Moscow citizens who learned of the coup d’état from the media outside Moscow, which has not yet been controlled, took to the streets one after another.

Sergey's reputation is so good, just as Yazov and Kryuchkov could not believe that Sergey was in collusion with foreign countries, embezzling and accepting bribes. How can the people of Moscow and the people of the Soviet Union believe that this is a fact? Moreover, since Sergei Shah established the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, he has transferred all of his business to Leningrad. In Moscow's Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank, the Soviet Construction Bank for Housing and Public Utilities, and the Mediterranean Trading Company, there is no iron and steel evidence that can prove the crime of Sergei. . Although Chebyshev and Rabanikov’s testimony can convict Selesha, they are KGB members and are not convincing to most people.

Originally, a careful coup d’état was spoiled because of Sergei Sha’s escape. Sergei now claims in Leningrad that he will take over the power of the Soviet president. It seems to have caused a strong threat to the emergency committee. under these circumstances. Yazov had to take more radical measures.

"Comrade Grachev, tell the paratroopers to be ready at any time. After half an hour, they will immediately raid Leningrad Airport and control the situation on Leningrad. Remember to let them try to capture Ulyanov alive. If you allow, kill him!" Yazov picked up the red telephone on the desk and directly connected to the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Airborne Corps Commander Grachev.

Just before Yazov was about to put down the phone, he suddenly remembered something, so he said to Grachev: "Ulyanov is a paratrooper. You won't have anything to do with him?"

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief. Although Ulyanov and I have a superior relationship in Afghanistan, our relationship is not good. Everyone in the airborne troops knows this fact! One of my military command errors that year was almost impossible. Killed him in the Paghman Valley! Later he escaped from there nine deaths, and he has been blaming me for so many years I have never interacted with him!" Grachev explained on the phone.

"That's good, Comrade Grachev, Ulyanov is a traitor to the motherland, you must complete the task assigned to you by your superiors, and set off as soon as possible. I am in Moscow waiting for the news of your victory!" He was relieved of Grachev. Yazov knew something about Grachev and Ulyanov. After all, the paratroopers have a Paghman hero company, and Sergei's Hero of the Soviet Union title is also a real deal in exchange for his life.

"Yes, promise to complete the task!" Grachev replied loudly.

But when he put down the phone, Grachev was lost in thought. Should we follow Yazov’s orders and go to Leningrad to control the situation? Now Yazov and others have taken control of Moscow, and Gorbachev has fallen into the hands of the Emergency Committee. As the most elite force in the Soviet Union, if Grachev obeyed Yazov’s orders and raided Leningrad Airport in an emergency like the Prague Spring of that year, and thus controlled the city of Leningrad, then Selesha would absolutely not be able to. Parry. But is this really the right choice?

Grachev didn't tell the truth to Yazov at all. His relationship with Sergey Sha is not very good, but his relationship with Lebed is very good. Lebed and Sergey were born and died brothers in the Paghman Valley. If you want to raid Leningrad, you must not tell Lebed. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Xie Liaosha will get news and go abroad just after taking off from his side. How to do?

What would happen if I took refuge in Seriosha? Everyone can tell that Gorbachev has begun to train him as a successor. The other faction within the CPSU, Yakovlev’s democratic program faction, has recently begun to abandon its own ideas and move closer to Selesha’s faction. The severe split caused by the CPSU since its 28th National Congress is slowly healing. Moreover, Sergeysha has been engaged in large-scale construction in the Russian Republic in recent years. Because of these projects, the unemployment rate in the Russian Republic is much better than that of Ukraine, Belarus, and the Baltic countries. The Russians are grateful to Liao Sha, and other leaders of the republic have endorsed Se Liao Sha. If nothing happens now, Grachev will most likely be forced to retire after Selesha takes office...

Just as Grachev was lost in thought, a loud noise outside the window interrupted his thoughts. Grachev walked to the window. He saw an incredible scene.

"Shame on the coup!"

"We don't want a military dictatorship!"

"Yanayev get out!"

...

With the announcement of martial law in Moscow, Grachev actually saw a large number of people gathering on the street not far away from the city center! what happened?

Grachev immediately asked his subordinates about the situation~www.readwn.com~ After the subordinates went out to find out, they replied to Grachev: "Report to the commander-in-chief. Not long ago, Minister Ulyanov called on Leningrad. There is a general political strike throughout the country. Many people have heard about it through the radio. The workers of the Likhachev Automobile Factory have refused to work, and the residents of the Workers’ New Town are also marching. In addition to the Moscow State University..."

Grachev was surprised when he heard the news. He did not expect the news to spread so quickly, and the people's reaction this time was so intense. Now Grachev hesitated even more. He looked at the black phone on the desk, which led to the Ryazan Airborne Division School. Grachev knew that Lebed was now in Ryazan, preparing for the planned US-Soviet airborne joint combat exercise, and the most elite Soviet airborne troops are now training in Ryazan.

Grachev was hesitating whether to execute Yazov's orders. Now in Moscow, on the street outside the paratrooper headquarters, the crowd participating in the parade could not be seen at a glance. Think about it, this happened when the armored troops had already entered the city! However, Sergei served as an official in Moscow for many years. The Workers’ New City alone satisfied the dream of many families owning their own houses in the capital. Is it possible for these people to stand up against Sergei?

After understanding these questions, Grachev has already made a decision, and he feels that Yazov will lose this time!

Grachev picked up the black telephone on the table, and after a while, Lebed's voice came from there!

"Commander-in-chief, what instructions do you have?" Lebed already knew what had happened. He just waited for the above order to be issued and immediately notified Sergei.

"Lebed, can you contact Seryosha? Tell him, Yazov ordered us to arrest him!"...
