USSR 1991

"Then what do you say?" Ge Tutu was obviously very dissatisfied with Plekhanov's answer. He desperately hoped to regain his position as the leader of the ruling party, and then threw all those who participated in the August [-] coup into the Siberia to mine coal.

"My method is to first let out the news that Comrade Gorbachev will return to Moscow, and then set up a bait to find out the truth. If the double is directly intercepted in the Kremlin, then it can be proved that even if Yanayev is sent Hospital treatment, he is still holding back. In this case, we will go directly to Georgia. Through the internal relations of the army over the years, all the troops that support you have been transferred to Georgia. Once the coup in Moscow fails..."

Plekhanov said with a sneer, "We will launch a separatist war in Georgia, where the national separatist sentiment is strongest. With the current military strength in Georgia, coupled with the support of Turkey or NATO, we can completely fight the Soviet Union. War of attrition. Even if Yanayev controls the army and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as long as Georgia succeeds in independence, other autonomous prefectures will follow suit, and the order Yanayev has worked so hard to maintain will collapse in an instant."

Plekhanov's character of fearing that the world will not be chaotic, coupled with the remaining part of the military strength in Ge Tutu's hands, is enough to set off a long-term and large-scale turmoil in the Soviet Union.

"Get up, President Gorbachev, you should get out of here."

Plekhanov said to Gotu, "Moscow needs you now."

Chapter 6: The Entry of the United States

When Plekhanov announced to the lieutenant that he would take Gorbachev away, he hoped that Plekhanov could explain the situation.The lieutenant stood in front of Plekhanov with a livid face, hoping that the other party could explain clearly what was going on.

"General Secretary Yanayev is undergoing emergency treatment in Moscow due to his deteriorating health. During this period, Godou will resume his position as the leader of Moscow. This is an approval document drafted by General Secretary Yanayev himself." Plekhanov also deliberately used carefully forged approval documents to deceive the trust of guarding soldiers.Because before arriving in Moscow, he didn't want any accidents to leak Ge Tutu's whereabouts.

"Let Gorbachev return to Moscow?" The lieutenant took the approval letter with some doubts, "How could General Secretary Yanayev let a person who almost destroyed the Soviet Union sit in the position of General Secretary again? This is simply absurd. How could Moscow issue such an order."

Thinking of the turmoil in 1991, everyone felt lingering fear.If it weren't for General Secretary Yanayev's efforts to turn the tide, the Soviet Union might have ceased to exist long ago.Coupled with Yanayev's propaganda for so many years, Gorbachev's bad image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. How could Yanayev let such a person take the position of general secretary.

The soldier's questioning made Plekhanov very angry, but he could not make any mistakes so far, so he blamed the other party in a severe tone, "This is an order from Moscow, do you want to question it? The soldier's duty is to obey the order. Instead of disobeying the commander's order. Don't forget that you belong to the leader's security bureau, and I am your boss."

"But..." The soldier wanted to say something more, but was interrupted roughly by Plekhanov.

"There is nothing to do, you must follow the order, soldier. Besides, this is the decision of the Politburo and has nothing to do with you. All you need to do is respect the decision of Moscow." Plekhanov's tough attitude made the lieutenant in charge of security helpless, Only follow orders.What's more, they are also members of the Leader's Security Bureau, and Director Plekhanov is still his superior.

Gorbachev followed Plekhanov to the Mi-8 helicopter parked on the tarmac, and Plekhanov paved the way for Gorbachev's next trip. After all, he was the only one in Moscow with Gorbachev was in collusion with someone.

It's just that the lieutenant felt that all this was not as simple as he imagined. Looking at the helicopter in the distance, the lieutenant said worriedly, "It seems that Moscow is not peaceful again."

On the helicopter, Plekhanov negotiated with Gorbachev.After all, Gorbachev hadn't set foot in Moscow for nearly six years, and he didn't know much about many things.

"The current military and political power is in the hands of Yanayev and a group of members of the August [-]th Coup Committee, so if Comrade Gorbachev wants to fight his way through the Politburo, he has to attack the members of the August [-]th Committee .The vast majority of them controlled the upper echelons of Soviet politics.”

Plekhanov's expression was a bit gloomy, and he said slowly, "But it's very difficult. As long as we don't have an army in Moscow, even the Dzerzhinsky Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is controlled by Comrade Putin. Moscow staged a coup and was easily overthrown."

Gorbachev had spent nearly six years in the wilderness of the Ural Mountains, and he never wanted to return to that cage of freedom.So he said to Plekhanov, "If the United States knew that I was not dead, would they spare no effort to help us? After all, Moscow's enemies are their allies."

Plekhanov froze for a moment, he did not expect that Gorbachev was still looking at the attention of the Americans, so he nodded and said, "Yes, the Americans will have a high chance of participating in the incident, if If we can find a way to get in touch with the U.S. embassy."

Gorbachev waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "There is no need to go through the American embassy. It is too eye-catching. I have the contact information of the White House in my hand, just to wait for this day to come."

The dim lights in the Mi-[-] helicopter cabin hid the outline of Gorbachev's face in the darkness, with a stern expression.Plekhanov knew what that expression was, and his strong desire for revenge made Gorbachev wish he could get rid of the traitor Yanayev in the Moscow hospital.

Once this move was made, Plekhanov could not turn back.

Gorbachev began to tell Plekhanov about his plan, "We are not going to Moscow now, but to Georgia. Moscow is weak and it is difficult to do anything. But Georgia is different. I have quite Some of the remnants of the army are concentrated in Georgia, and they are also the ones who escaped the purge of the army. As long as these people are still there, we can create chaos in the Caucasus. Yanayev has not woken up, and the means are not enough The tough Pavlov can't command the army, and with the assistance of the Americans at that time, we can create a divided Russia."

In order to fulfill his desire for revenge, Gorbachev will do whatever it takes, and he has two allies as soon as he comes out, one is Turkey and the other is the United States.

"I think President Mario will be very happy when he hears that I am still alive. After all, the United States and the Soviet Union have been at a disadvantage in the disputes between the United States and the Soviet Union all these years. My appearance will affect the entire situation. It may even eventually change the fate of the Soviet Union .This evil empire will one day become a true liberal democracy."

In order to achieve the goal of revenge, Gorbachev did not hesitate to move closer to the United States.What's more, in his mind, the Soviet Union was just an evil empire, and sooner or later he would destroy this empire in his own hands.

Gorbachev took the encrypted phone in Plekhanov's hand, and he will dial the number of the White House President's Office.This is how he communicated with White House leaders when he was president.

When the other party connected from the busy tone, Gorbachev said very calmly, "Please help me to get through to the President of the United States and tell him that there is a very urgent matter that needs help from the other party."

There must not be many people who know the special line of the White House. The other party asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"I am the leader of the former Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev."

Chapter 6 Fifteen Risky Bets

When President Mario heard Gorbachev's voice on the phone, his first reaction was that it was a bad prank.But what the other party said next made President Mario's face serious.

"Listen, President Mario. I had a secret order with the White House during the 1991 coup that would serve as a secret code to transport me out of the USSR: 'Tango' 'Juliet' 'Alpha' 'Tango'. Just The CIA failed to get me out because of the KGB's first move in Crimea. If you ask the CIA, they will tell you the truth. Oh, and my old friend President Bush, He's very aware of it too."

President Mario put down the phone and said to the assistant beside him, "Call me to Director Tenet immediately, fast."

However, the tone on the other end of the phone seemed a little anxious, "Listen to me first, Moscow is now in political turmoil. Yanayev is undergoing surgery in Moscow because of his health. We are preparing to stage a coup to overthrow August [-]th. Committee rule, back in power."

President Mario asked calmly, "So what? Let's join this dangerous game?"

Gorbachev said, "The risk of a coup in Moscow is huge, and I don't have any influence in Moscow. So we will go to Georgia to start a rebellion. I hope that the United States and Turkey will fund us behind the scenes, even if it creates a divided Soviet Union. I don't hesitate to say so. Do you understand me?"

Just as President Mario was about to speak, Gorbachev said first, "Okay, our call will stop here. I will continue to call Moscow later. Please keep the communication open."

After Gorbachev finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately, and only President Mario was left alone with a microphone in a daze.what is this?It's just incredible.If Gorbachev hadn't died, President Mario would have laughed out loud in his dreams.He immediately notified the assistant, "Call consultant Berger and Chief of Staff Bowers to my office, as soon as possible."

Obviously, an opportunity came before President Mario. The United States has tried for many years to break through the last obstacle of the Iron Curtain without success. Now that the Soviet Union is likely to trigger an internal crisis, the White House has the opportunity to take advantage of it and complete the dismemberment of the year. The lofty ideals of the Soviet Union.

Soon Bowles, Tenet and Berger came to the President's Office, and President Mario quickly confirmed the unfinished evacuation code in Chief Tenet's mouth.So President Mario's face became serious.

"President Mario, this is a rare opportunity. We may even use this coup to reverse the situation between the Soviet Union and the United States in one fell swoop." Advisor Berger said excitedly, "Secretly support Gorbachev to let the Soviet Union Civil strife. We're going to get in there and do what we almost did in 1991."

"But is it possible that this is a trap?" Bowers said cautiously. "The person who announced that he had been dead for six years suddenly reappeared in front of the world. How do you feel that there are ulterior secrets behind this. The Soviets are not Idiot, does it make sense to keep Gorbachev alive?"

Director Tenet refuted Powers, "But if the Soviet Union wanted to act, it could have used this to lure us into the bait in 1991. Why wait until six years later. And Yanayev recently visited Bulgaria. The trip to Romania was hastily canceled for some reason, and from these clues, it is not impossible for Yanayev to fall into a coma."

"Okay, gentlemen. The most important thing now is whether we want to join this game. If we join, how will we enter the game." President Mario interrupted everyone, and he looked around.It feels like this could be a conversation that changes the situation in the world.To intervene or not to intervene, he needs the affirmation of others.

"Join, of course." Director Tenet first expressed his thoughts, "We don't need to directly intervene in the internal disputes of the Soviet Union. We only need to use Turkey to fund the Georgian rebels and create a split Caucasus. Yana Yev’s high-handed ethnic policy can suppress the rebellion in the Caucasus region. But if there is civil unrest in Georgia, it can take the opportunity to extend the rebellion to other regions.”

"I support Director Tenet's idea. Anyway, it is Turkey that is really funding, and it has nothing to do with the United States, right?" Consultant Berger put forward his opinion, "If the final coup fails, then we can take Go Erbachev rescued Georgia as a bargaining chip to blackmail the Soviet Union. If the coup succeeds and a pro-Western Soviet leader comes to power, the collapse of this red empire is just around the corner.”

The top officials of the White House dream of the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the removal of the last threat of NATO.If Yanayev hadn't supported the entire country by himself, the current Soviet Union might have ceased to exist long ago.

Berger's statement is very simple, no matter what the outcome of the civil strife is, it has nothing to do with them.This is the brilliance of Berger's swimsuits. They just instigated their agents to assist Gorbachev, not directly themselves.On this point, the Soviet Union has nothing to do with the United States.

"What does Bowles think?" Both Berger and Tenet's statements hit President Mario's heart directly, making him feel more and more that this risky bet is very feasible.After all, this is a hugely profitable gamble. As long as the comeback is successful, the United States will become the only superpower in the world.

"Agree." Powers' views on this matter are not much different from those of Berger and Tenet. The only difference is that he hopes to adopt a more cautious attitude to solve the problem.He is more thinking about the embarrassing position the United States will be placed in if it fails.

Bowles added, "It's just that I hope to make a decision after learning more about the situation. After all, this is not ordinary interference in internal affairs, and it is even more like playing on the tip of a knife than the CIA's involvement in the Tbilisi incident. balance."

But obviously everyone present did not pay attention to Powers' last words. What they saw was an opportunity, an opportunity to overthrow the rule of the Soviet Union.

He had no choice but to say silently, "I just hope that this is not a scam targeting the White House."

Chapter 6 and Sixteen

"General Secretary Yanayev is still in the intensive care unit. The doctor said that after the operation, his pain will not worsen in a short period of time. But he needs to continue to rest for a period of time before he can recover." Putin stood in Sur This is also the cooperation between Yanayev's two most valued successors.

Surkov is already the secretary of the Central Secretariat, and Putin will smoothly take the position of chairman of the Council of Ministers after Ryzhkov retires.Yanayev's arrangement is very obvious. He hopes to create a Moscow regime with Putin as the main and Surkov as the auxiliary.Among them, Surkov was in charge of the Soviet Union's public opinion propaganda and representatives of think tanks, while Putin became the decision maker of the Soviet Union's international political trends.

"There is another sad news. Gorbachev has escaped from the prison in the Ural Mountains, and his whereabouts are unknown." Putin looked calm when he said these words, as if he already knew the ending.
