USSR 1991

This unlucky separatist was burned alive like black coals.Before he died, he still kept kneeling and crawling forward, with his hands stretched out into the distance in despair.

After a round of incendiary bombs, the entire village has turned into a burning purgatory.The flames ruthlessly devoured this group of damned rebels, and the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs watched them howling and struggling, dying in despair, and then turned them into ashes of history.

Chapter 331 Pingdu Town Lu Dabobo (1)

After nearly seven months of integration and maintenance of order, the autonomous prefecture, which was originally full of complaints, began to stabilize. Except for a small group of vested interests who were not satisfied with the reform, after a large share of their own rights and interests disappeared, the people found out that they were not satisfied with the reform. After the joining countries became autonomous prefectures, their own rights were reduced, because the economic environment was further relaxed, and even their social welfare insurance was better than before.

After the "candy" from the financial welfare expenditure was distributed to the obedient people of the autonomous prefecture, the underlying uneasy factors began to dissipate slowly under the double blow of sugar coating and shells. Of course, all the candies are not free. What is lacking in entitlement spending is made up for by hidden manipulations in taxes.The Soviet Union is only friendly to those people who work gloriously, and will never use welfare to feed a group of damn moths.

Of course, Western countries headed by the United States have very strong opinions on the reform of the member countries of the Soviet Union, although they have nothing to do with them.But how can people with a halo of freedom let go of criticizing the policies of socialist countries?Soon, a series of headlines such as "no human rights", "behavior comparable to the Nazis" and "will only deepen the distrust of the Soviet Union in the member countries" began to bless the Soviet Union.And Yanayev just accepted all the slander and criticism with a smile.The polar bear withdrew its claws not because it became timid, but because it was preparing for the next attack.

Only with regard to the Siberian migration, the United States and the Soviet Union maintained a consistent pace, believing that the group of "peace-loving" people should indeed migrate to Siberia to isolate them.Some members of Congress even expressed in a cryptic tone in private, "Thank God, if the empty city built by the Soviet Union in the Arctic Circle did not install a heating system, I would think this is the only time they did it right."

Of course, as he said, Yanayev did not install a winter heating system in that city. Imagine how many people can survive a winter in an atmosphere tens of degrees below the Arctic Circle.Since we can't decide your life and death openly, at least let you feel the cruelty of nature.

Of course, the country that reacted the most when a member country of the Soviet Union became an autonomous state was not the United States, Turkey or even a member of NATO, but the Republic of Poland.Walesa, the President of the Republic of Poland, was very angry with the actions of the Soviet Union. He even declared in public more than once that the political changes in Eastern European countries did not really bring peace and hope, and the threat from socialism still loomed They, the devil of the Kremlin, still think of various ways to pull them into the Iron Curtain.

And Yanayev’s reply was, “He is a typical persecuted delusional patient. If the Polish President is willing, I can invite him to the mental hospital in Kazan to reminisce about the old days. We will rebuild the abandoned mental hospital for him. Opening, will re-employ the original physician."

WeChat public account: Yanayev, welcome to pay attention.

"Poland once had a Prometheus plan, planning to instigate the three countries of the sea, Belarus, Ukraine, and the Caucasus to get rid of Moscow's rule and form a buffer zone for Poland. It's a pity that this ambitious plan is on another timeline , It was not completed by Comrade Godou until 1991. The second one is called the Sea Federation, hoping that the Central and Eastern European countries will be closely united around Poland, but I think this plan will never be completed.”

When Yanayev saw Walesa's ridiculous remarks, he commented a few words like a joke, "Pingduzhen Lu Dabobo, do you think you really have this opportunity to realize the unification of Poland in Europe, fantasy ?”

Yanayev did not use the word dream, unrealistic fantasy is already flattering Poland.He also doesn't understand why there will always be countries that feel good about themselves and think they can become a regional power, just like the goal of Polish President Walesa, who is committed to re-establishing Poland's historical status as a power in Eastern Europe and is committed to achieving The great revival of the Polish nation.Of course, this road has been very bumpy. The system transformation has created a situation where conservatives and radicals coexist. Some people emphasize that Poland’s unsuccessful reforms should stop and return to the communist system, while radicals believe that they should be more radical. attitude to achieve perfect marketization.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the President's Office, and Yanayev said in a low voice, please come in, and Pavlov walked in in a hurry, holding a piece of information fed back by the intelligence agency in his hand.Pavlov didn't stop when he walked in, and reported the situation directly to Yanayev. He said in a helpless tone, "It is said that Poland mobilized troops at the border and conducted dangerous live-fire exercises, and the imaginary enemy of the armored forces is still ours. , It is said that it is in response to the drill that the Soviet Union may attack at any time. I think it is necessary to inform you of this news."

After listening to the Prime Minister's narration, Yanayev nodded very flatly. A country with a national military strength that may not be as large as the Soviet Union's military district was the first to stand up and provoke a polar bear that didn't use its claws.

Pavlov put the information on his table, and said as if talking to himself, "I don't understand why Walesa, who was friendly to the Soviet Union from 1991 to 1994, would change this time. He took his stand and stood on the anti-Soviet side."

"Probably because I saw that my political career was coming to an end, and I just took advantage of the anti-Soviet wave to try to win the votes of the people again. This is the face of Western politicians. In order to consolidate their rights, they will always go Say something that is not what you mean, and do something that goes against your will. Like slashing the defense budget when the economy is tough, but turning a blind eye to those costly social welfare programs, they will all be oppressed by their own parasites Crushed."

Indeed, even Yanayev can imagine that Lech Wałęsa should be in dire straits, because his main opponent, the leader of the democratic left, former communist Alexander Kwasniewski, promised to further implement the separation of church and state. This point of view is more attractive than Walesa's broad and empty slogans.And he has a close relationship with the church, and it can even be said that Walesa, who made his fortune relying on the church, has become the target of public criticism.In short, this short-lived founder in Polish history tried every means to retain his position and power.

"Does Poland think it can win Ukraine by doing so? Even Turkey has no ability to challenge us. Does Poland, which has just escaped the shadow of the Soviet Union, think that it has the courage to challenge a superpower? Now they can It’s not the era of the Jagiello dynasty.” Yanayev also couldn’t figure out why there are always some countries that like to provoke characters they shouldn’t provoke, and they are finally carved up, such as Poland, which was divided by the Soviet Union during World War II.

"However, we have to express what Poland is doing on the border." Another meaning of Pavlov is that people have chosen to demonstrate, and the Soviet Union should cooperate no matter what, otherwise people will really think that the Soviet Union Terrified of Poland.

"That's right in the arms of the Polish president. When Turkey provokes us, the Soviet Union can demonstrate. When the United States invades us, the Soviet Union can also demonstrate. Only when Poland provokes us, the Soviet Union does not need to make any counterattacks. Does Prime Minister Pavlov think that showing off force with a psychopath is something worth showing off?" Yanayev asked back with a smile, indeed, ignoring Poland is the best humiliation.

"The snubbing of them is the best provocation. I don't believe that Poland, whose self-esteem is above all else, will endure our silent humiliation."

Chapter 332 Pingdu Town Lu Dabobo (2)

Poland itself launched a military live-fire training on the border of the Ukrainian Autonomous Prefecture. Walesa hopes to take this opportunity to guide the attention of the masses from home to abroad and divert their own contradictions.The Deputy Minister of Poland, Halski, the most powerful military hawk, also believes that it is time for the outside world to see the true strength of Su Poland. As a major Eastern European country that has been notified by the Soviet Union, how can it not show its strong side?

It can be said that the Polish side has worked hard on this border exercise, and even mobilized the second, eighth, and No.16 tank divisions, as well as two mechanized divisions for the exercise, trying to create a border area on the Polish-Ukrainian border. Feeling like a torrent of steel in Poland, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian military region showed a Russian-style disdainful expression for this kind of behavior of beating a swollen face to make a fat man.I don't even think about who gave you the equipment I had in the first place, and now I've turned my face and become a white-eyed wolf so quickly.

However, the Moscow side explicitly forbids the Ukrainian military region to provoke the Polish army at the border in any form. Facing the opponent’s provocation, they did not make some counterattacks, which made many comrades feel angry, so they thought of another way to mock the opponent. , Collectively came to watch the Polish military exercise on the border.

So a very interesting scene appeared on the Polish border. The senior leaders of the Soviet Ukrainian Military District ordered soldiers to watch the Polish army's exercises near the border. Half a day, then pack up and go back.The rest of the Polish army looked confused.

On the second day of the military exercise, there were no additional patrolling troops on the Ukrainian border, and there was not even a special reduction of patrolling armored troops because of the Polish military exercise.Of course, such a seemingly disdainful adventurous approach is actually well prepared by the Soviet armed forces stationed in Ukraine. They ambushed a force on the border. Armored divisions will deal head-on blows to incoming enemies.

After all, Poland once had a dark history of wanting to annex western Ukraine, so the Soviet Union maintained its status quo on the surface, but in fact stepped up its secret vigilance to prevent the other party from making fake plays.

Obviously, Poland did not have the guts. Their military exercises did not provoke the Soviet Union's vigilance, and they became more and more perfunctory.And Minister of Defense Yazov issued a statement on the Polish military exercise at the Moscow press conference, "Presumably everyone is very curious about the exercise of the Polish troops on the border. We can see from the first day of the exercise of the Polish army that the Soviet Union does not need to be on the ground at all." The border was heavily guarded, because we had every reason to believe that such a team would be driven back by Soviet armored forces before it penetrated tens of kilometers into Ukraine."

Very arrogant and provocative, Yazov's subtext is that I am not saying that the Soviet Union looked down on Poland, but that Poland is an indisputable garbage, not worth our fingers at all.

Such a statement is enough to make people sad, especially the ambitious president who wanted to provoke a political conflict between Poland and the Soviet Union, Walesa.

"This is not the same script as we agreed, Comrade Halski. Why are the Soviets so restrained? They don't even look down on us, thinking that Poland's military strength is nothing more than a joke."

The reaction of the Soviet Union was like a slap in the face of Walesa. He walked around the office aggrievedly, looked up and looked out the window, just in time to see that Josef Poniato The bronze statue of Prince Wowski, the nobleman who was given the title of Marshal of the Empire, conveyed a strong and unyielding spirit to Walesa. It is for this reason that he will try his best to express Poland's tough and powerful in foreign policy. On the one hand, even at the expense of offending a few major European countries, let them look at themselves seriously.

It is precisely because of this that the ridiculous pride of Poland was laughed at by the Soviet Union.Of course, the anger brought by the ridicule made Wawensa germinate in his heart the idea that he must make Moscow suffer.

"Perhaps Moscow doesn't even bother with our small military strength? We think we should continue to conduct military exercises on the border so that the Soviet Union will pay attention to us." Halski is worthy of being an unrealistic visionary like Walesa, He came up with an idea that seemed bold but was actually stupid.

"We can conduct offensive exercises on the border, which will definitely attract the attention of the Soviet Union. It is best for the president to be there to observe the war in person, which will further establish your position in the hearts of the masses. Prove to them that we can not only resist Against the Soviet Union's attack, it can even counterattack Ukraine within 24 hours, capture Kiev, and form a hostile situation with the Soviet army."

The Polish side naively thought that the Soviet Union's ignorance was just pretending to ignore itself, and only further provocations could provoke the nerves of the Red Empire.Poland, who obviously overestimated its own strength, looked at one very important thing, that is, in the European continent, the Soviet Union is a terrible role that Britain, France and Germany must treat with caution. It is just a newly independent country that has not even achieved economic revitalization. Just a small country.

The president personally supervised the exercise. This proposal caught Walesa's eyes. Indeed, this would not only increase his prestige in the army, but also act as a deterrent to the Soviet Union. Of course he was willing to do such an action that would kill two birds with one stone.

"Very good, then the next military exercise will be personally arranged by Comrade Harsky. The best time can be set in the last ten days. We will conduct an offensive exercise across the border again. Try to let the Soviet Union make a Outcry in response."

The new military exercise announced by Walesa and Halski has aroused strong resistance among the people. They think it is just a meaningless money-burning operation. Poland has already conducted a military exercise before, and in You lost your face during the military exercise, and now you want to show your face to the other party again, begging the Soviet Union to slap them in the face again?

After seeing the news, Yanayev just said silently that the special plane of the Polish president should not fall from the sky. After all, the weather in western Ukraine is not very good after winter. After all, their president’s luck is also related to this weather. Same, not always good.

Chapter 333 Pingdu Town Lu Dabobo (3)

Perhaps Yanayev’s crow’s mouth had a hint of prophecy and reality. Two days before the military exercise, Polish President Lech Walesa’s special plane was going to Rzeszow in the Carpathians, and then passed the connecting flight. After getting off the plane, go directly to the designated military exercise location.

Recently Walesa has been struggling to deal with the resistance campaign launched by the public. They think that Walesa's actions are making fun of Poland's border security. They don't believe that the Soviet Union will not take action after Poland's military provocation.And Walesa didn't expect that his practice of diverting domestic conflicts would attract criticism from others.

Obviously he has to face a very bad situation, after all, he has to pretend to be forced to kneel.The date of the exercise is approaching day by day, and it is impossible for Lech Walesa to refuse the exercise that is of great significance to the army. He can only arrange the itinerary in a hurry two days before the start, and go to the Carpathian Mountains where the exercise is held as quickly as possible. area.

But very unfortunately, when Lech Walesa arrived in Rzeszow in the Carpathians and was about to go to Bircea's military base airport, he encountered a rare heavy fog.The outdated avionics system of the Tu154 airliner is difficult to land safely in such fog, and the air force base has already indicated that their ground navigation system is not advanced enough to make a Tu154 whose safety performance can be compared to a flying coffin in the air The civil airliner landed safely in the foggy environment.

After reporting the situation to Polish President Lech Walesa, he should have listened to the captain's suggestion, but he was going to another place for an alternate landing, but because the date of the exercise was approaching, he insisted on landing at the military airport under his feet.He also reprimanded the tower personnel on the ground, "As the tower ground personnel of the air force base, they don't even have the ground navigation of civil aviation airliners. What is the country spending so much money to support you? It's not for you to sit in front of the screen." Chatting, I don't care what method you use, in short, I don't believe that my special plane can't land here."

Then Wawensa patted the captain on the shoulder and said with encouragement, "I know you are the best, you are the best. You will definitely be able to pass through this fog and land safely on the airport. Look at the Soviet civil aviation The passenger plane has successfully landed blindly in so many bad weather conditions, why can't we?"

Of course, the president, who has only received elementary school and vocational school education, does not know how big the risk of an ILS is. Using the instrument landing system in Figure 154 coupled with the ILS equipment of the air force base is simply a nightmare. In most cases, it relies on electronic equipment, and in a few cases it is based on its own judgment. Of course, Walesa also ignored the bloody cases of failed blind landings.

Under normal circumstances, the captain would have rejected such an absurd proposal long ago, but since the other party was the President of Poland, he had no room for rejection and could only try his best.

Everyone returned to their seats and fastened their seat belts, and the plane began a blind landing.It was very smooth at the beginning. Under the navigation of the system, the plane gradually descended. Wawensa looked out of the gray window, showing a gratified expression, but his gratification was soon hit by a burst of ups and downs. broken.

Prestige official account: Yanayev, welcome to pay attention.

Just when it was about to reach the ground, the blind landing system suddenly issued a warning, and the plane descended below the glide line provided by the blind landing.At this time, the flight crew wanted to correct the course but it was too late. The plane was falling at a speed off course and would soon hit the runway.

The captain tried his best to control the plane, trying to correct the mistakes he made before, but it was too late, the approaching ground made him think of a dangerous word, crash and die.The co-pilot said desperately, "No, the data provided by our previous system is fundamentally wrong. From the very beginning, our plane deviated from the glide line, which led us into a bigger mistake. Now there is no way. Corrected."

The angle of descent in Figure 154 was too large, the whole plane crashed to the ground, and flew forward with inertia on the runway of the airport. At this time, the wings of the plane had been broken, and the tumbling body was split and disintegrated by the friction of electric light and flint all the way. In the end, only one section of the fuselage rolled off the runway and fell into the jungle. Such a thrilling scene left a group of people on the tower stunned.

"My God, did the president crash?"

Some people have not recovered from the shock, but he soon notified the personnel to go to the scene to search and rescue the injured, and the president must be sent out of the scene as soon as possible and rushed to the hospital for treatment.Just when the troops arrived, there were several loud explosions from the disintegrated and burning wreckage of the plane. The dazzling flames in the mist made the rescue troops face a bigger problem, how to find the victims in the fire. The Polish president engulfed in raging fire.

The burning flames are extraordinarily dazzling in the depths of the foggy forest. Even a layer of thick fog can make people see the huge fireball rising from a few hundred meters away, just like a pure natural fireball. The ground navigation signs are the same, but the scene looks a little ironic.
