"Every step of Gorbachev was within your expectations? Or did you not expect Gorbachev's movements at all?" Surkov was a little angry at Putin's inaction. Now that he knew that Gorbachev Bachev will escape from the Ural Mountains, why not take action immediately.

"Part of it was expected, some of it was not." Over the years of his career as an agent, Putin has cultivated a calmness that is different from ordinary people. He said to Surkov, "I can't guarantee that everything will be as expected. Not General Secretary Yanayev. I can only say that I expected Gorbachev to escape from the Ural Mountains, but I did not expect him to abandon Moscow. The trap that was set in Moscow has now become invalid , and now we need to re-plan."

"What do you think Gorbachev will do next? In Moscow, he has only Plekhanov around him. But Gorbachev is not an idiot. He must still have some forces loyal to him." Hiding somewhere, we need to uproot this force." Putin sighed, it seems that he needs to rearrange his plan.

"The three Baltic countries, the Caucasus region, and even Ukraine are all areas where Gorbachev may go. As long as he has a certain amount of military power in the area, then Gorbachev can plan a rebellion." Surko Fu analyzed that the three areas most likely to experience turmoil are in Surkov's consideration.

Of course, he is only providing opinions and references for Putin, and the specific situation needs to be determined by himself.

"The three countries in the Baltic Sea are the least likely. After all, we have a powerful fleet in the Baltic Sea region. Gorbachev's rebellion in the Baltic Sea can only be attacked by two sides. Without foreign aid, the situation is very dangerous. So this is the first an area that can be excluded."

"Next is Ukraine, which borders on Poland, and Georgia, which borders on Turkey. But we also have to consider the identity of Gorbachev, who is from the Stavropol Krai."

"The Stavropol Krai is located in the central part of the Upper Caucasus and the northern part of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, bordering the North Ossetia-Alan Republic, the Kabardino-Balkar Republic and the Karachay-Cherkess Republic to the south, southwest, west, and northwest The Ministry is adjacent to the Krasnodar Krai, the Rostov Oblast to the north, the Republic of Kalmykia to the north and northeast, the Republic of Dagestan to the east, and the Republic of Chechnya to the southeast. Tsk tsk, it is really in a politically sensitive country area."

When Surkov finished these words, Comrade Putin quickly understood, "You mean that Gorbachev is likely to plan a riot in his home region? After all, he has no appeal in Ukraine. power. The Caucasus is the birthplace of Gorbachev."

"Yes, this possibility is the highest." Putin understood that now he needs to increase the number of armored forces in the Caucasus to prevent a possible large-scale rebellion.Thinking that the entire Caucasus has entered a state of war, Americans can laugh out loud in their dreams.

Moreover, Putin cannot guarantee now that Gorbachev did not collude with the Americans.

"Mobilize the people stationed in Georgia? Don't be kidding. Maybe they have received the signal of the rebellion now, and they are waiting to welcome Gorbachev's arrival." Surkov retorted, "Now we must use the fastest Inform Kadyrov of the speed, including mobilizing the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Chechnya for stability operations in the Caucasus. Gorbachev's rebellion may be carried out anywhere. Georgia, North Ossetia, Dagestan, which autonomous region is fuel-efficient lamp?"

Surkov stopped Putin, who wanted to move in a hurry, "and now the troops of the Ukrainian military region cannot move. Because all this is just our speculation. It has not yet been confirmed. It's just that the Caucasus region is far more complicated than Ukraine. There are many, so we better prepare in advance.”

The atmosphere in the office became very silent, and Putin didn't know how to respond to Surkov's words.For the first time, he found himself in the position of the supreme leader, and the choices he faced were actually so difficult.

At this time, the phone in the office rang, breaking the atmosphere of silence. Putin answered the phone, and the person on the other end was Pavlov, who is now the deputy general secretary of the Soviet Union.But his voice sounded very anxious.Putin suddenly had a premonition that something bad might happen.

Pavlov's voice seemed incoherent, and he said nervously, "There is a rebellion in Georgia, and the army has mutinied! The situation is unknown now, but it is very likely that it will turn into a large-scale turmoil."

"Okay, I'm going to the Kremlin from the White House right now, and I also ask Prime Minister Pavlov to call all Politburo colleagues and hold an emergency meeting." Putin stood up and said to Surkov, who looked confused, "Guess what?" By the way, Comrade Surkov."

"What happened?" Surkov asked inexplicably.

Putin clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Comrade Surkov, you guessed right, Gorbachev's target is indeed in Georgia!"

Chapter 6 Forced Restoration of Order

"Georgia's rebels occupy Tbilisi, Tskhinvali, Gori and Poti Port. The number is about 15000 people, with tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery and air defense systems. There is probably an infantry division and 1 MiG The 21st Battalion, 1 MiG 27th Battalion, and an independent helicopter brigade participated in the rebellion. Some police and Ministry of Internal Affairs troops also participated in the rebellion.” Yazov’s report from the Ministry of Defense made everyone present face covered With a layer of frost on it, it seems that Ge Tutu has already taken out all his wealth, and is bound to bring the Soviet Union into the abyss of eternal doom.

Unexpectedly, the Georgian war that Yanayev tried everything possible to prevent ended in such an unexpected situation, not because of the South Ossetia conflict in 2008, but because of Gorbachev's rebellion.Even the Ministry of Defense is surprised that such political turmoil can occur in Georgia.

Comrade Vladimir looked around at the surrounding high-level Soviets. At this time, he and Yazov were the main characters in the meeting.Vladimir said to everyone present, "We must act quickly to quell this turmoil before it expands, otherwise, once it develops, events in Georgia may cause a series of catastrophes." chain reaction."

Georgia has always had a very serious separatist tendency.Although Stalin was a Georgian, he has been severely suppressing Georgia.When the Soviet Union was on the verge of disintegration, Georgia was a leading sheep.Once Georgia becomes independent, it will be like Turkey and start supporting and advocating the separatist forces in the North Caucasus, especially Chechnya, which has also been suppressed.At that time, Georgia may become an important channel for Chechnya to obtain external aid.

Although Yanayev's purge policy has brought the North Caucasus to a state of calm for the time being, there are still more serious problems before everyone.And Yanayev's exhortation is that Getu's stupid mistakes should never happen again.As a result, Putin and Yazov can only adopt a tough attitude to carry the suppression to the end.

“我们将会执行一场名为‘强制恢复秩序’的行动，58集团军19师429，503两个摩步团将抵达茨欣瓦利外围，然后迅速从两翼合围了茨欣瓦利，随即派出侦察兵携带激光指示器前出引导2S35自行火炮使用2K25“红土地”激光制导炮弹对茨欣瓦利叛军防御阵地上的指挥所、防空武器、防御工事、反坦克武器、火力兵器和有生力量进行精确打击。”

"The Southern Joint Strategic Command ordered the Aerospace Forces to dispatch two Su-34 squadrons to use guided bombs to carry out precise bombing of the rebel positions entrenched in Gori, and the Black Sea Fleet dispatched two Su-30SM squadrons to carry out precision bombing of Poti Port, The amphibious assault ship dispatched Ka-30K armed helicopters at a distance of 52 nautical miles from Poti Port, and used "Whirlwind" missiles to carry out fixed-point clearing of the remaining firepower weapons of the rebels. At the same time, the Black Sea Fleet imposed a naval blockade on Georgia."

Vladimir gave orders in an orderly manner, as if all this had been expected for a long time, and even Surkov, who was standing aside, was a little surprised.Vladimir, who was obviously still battered before, was able to formulate a battle plan in such a short period of time.Surkov has some doubts that this plan was not formulated and implemented by Vladimir.

"After the Soviet army completed the multi-faceted encirclement of Tbilisi, the Soviet army launched two motorized infantry divisions, the 19th and 42nd divisions, 1 naval infantry brigade, 1 airborne division and 2 air defense groups in the Tbilisi area. Offensive. Afterwards, the Soviet army launched a cleansing operation to liberate Tbilisi. The ground forces adopted a coordinated approach of infantry and tanks, and attacked concentrically along the streets in multiple directions. Lisa is an important target. The number of Georgian rebels is only a drop in the bucket compared to our number, and there is no fortified city like Grozny in Georgia. We can completely end this turmoil in a short time. Must To quell the turmoil in Georgia in the shortest possible time, we do not want this turmoil to spread to the entire Caucasus region."

Vladimir was very confident, so confident that the members of the Politburo thought they had expected it a long time ago. Only Surkov was a little puzzled. Why did Vladimir, who was still struggling before, become calm at this moment? calm down?

In fact, this combat plan is an emergency plan prepared by Yanayev for possible accidents in the Caucasus region.There are no less than ten combat plans in Georgia alone.It can be said that Yanayev is the one who most hopes for some surprises in the Soviet Union, because he needs to show other countries the results of Soviet military reforms.In the absence of foreign wars, Yanayev can only warn the United States by suppressing civil strife.The Soviet army is no longer what it was back then. The modernized Soviet army is not a product of the Cold War electronic tube. In terms of information technology, Yanayev can proudly declare that the Soviet Union's fist troops are not inferior to the Americans.

What's more, among these rebels, it is uncertain how many are ex-Chechen guerrillas who provided gun support from Turkey, and how many are remnants of Georgia's ultra-nationalist forces.With the support of the CIA, Turkey housed these bastards and provided them with military training in order to create turmoil in the Caucasus.

And now the rats from the Caucasus are converging in Georgia, so that Comrade Vladimir can catch them all and kill them all.

"One more question." Varennikov asked. "What are we going to do with the leaders of the rebel army? This is also a serious question."

"He cannot be allowed to flee abroad to collude with the United States. His action is most likely to cross the Turkish border and then apply for political asylum in the United States." Vladimir inherited Yanayev's tough methods. The map has already fished out the last unstable factor, so there is no need for him to be polite to this person.

Vladimir said very positively, "He must die in the flames of war, so that we can completely cut off the root cause of the turmoil."

Chapter 6 Eighteen

After the accident in Georgia, Chechen Prime Minister Kadyrov Jr. stood up and condemned Gotu’s treasonous behavior alone. When the entire Caucasus remained on the sidelines and remained silent, only Kadyrov Jr. declared Chechnya to enter a state of war in response to the Georgia threat.

Comrade Vladimir is not very worried about the rebellion in the Caucasus region. Even if there are nearly 15000 troops, he still looks like an insignificant fly in his eyes. With 5000 pigs, it would take three days to catch them all.His concern was that foreign powers would finance Georgia's armed forces, turning a swiftly suppressed rebellion into a protracted siege.It has now been four hours since Ligo Map issued a statement in Tbilisi, and troops have begun to enter Georgia, but for Vladimir, the time is still too long.

Gotu's statement in Georgia looked more like some kind of political clown burlesque.After occupying the TV station in Tbilisi, he made a speech on TV, declaring a state of emergency in Georgia, and he will be the leader of the Caucasus.

"My compatriots in the Caucasus region unite, for your future, for the future of the Caucasus region, as long as we are strong enough, we can win the freedom and independence of the Caucasus, and fight for your freedom!"

The ridiculous thing is that the shameless Gottu forgot that he was the former supreme leader of the Soviet Union, and now he actually wants him to stand up against everything he insists on.Even Comrade Vladimir was shocked by the brazenness of the map heads.When a press conference was held in Moscow, he just said very heavily, "I feel very sad. I didn't expect that the leader who led us forward would be such a person."

Comrade Vladimir stood on the podium, facing the reporter's spotlight and microphone, and said in a calm voice, "We are shocked by what happened in the Caucasus region, and we are also shocked by the brazenness of some people. Does it mean that they have given up their beliefs and ideals when they make such remarks. I don’t know what Comrade Gorbachev has experienced in these years, but no matter what you have experienced, When you are with a country, when you give up what you believe in, you are the enemy of the country."

Vladimir's strong condemnation represents the position of the Soviet government, and they will never tolerate anyone who dares to oppose the Soviet.Just like that slogan, any enemy who dares to resist the Soviet Union will be crushed by the torrent of steel.

"And here we are admonishing certain foreign governments. This is a matter of Soviet internal affairs, not your foreign affairs. We also have a strong Red Navy fleet in the Black Sea region if you try to interfere. They have entered Once we find that any foreign government organization is trying to fund the rebel forces in the Caucasus region, the Soviet will regard it as a declaration of war with our country. At that time, the Soviet Union will not hesitate to launch a war against it.”

Speaking of this, Comrade Vladimir paused deliberately, and said in a cold voice, "Sorry, my statement was wrong. It should be said that it is a nuclear war strike. As long as we find evidence, the Soviet Union will start loading it regardless of the consequences." ICBMs with nuclear warheads, and destroy all the cities in that country."

"The Soviet Union is doing what it says this time. If you don't believe it, those countries that are trying to use this incident to interfere in the internal affairs of the Soviet Union pay attention. As long as soldiers from any other country step their boots one centimeter across our border, then The Soviet Union will unreservedly release the nuclear bomb on your heads, and no country can be an exception."

No country can be an exception, this sentence caught the attention of reporters.They are all wondering whether this other country includes Americans.A large number of people even started to think that this war may be planned by the United States behind the scenes.However, when reporters asked why Comrade Gorbachev was still alive, Comrade Vladimir's answer was always no comment.

Vladimir's speech aroused extensive discussions among journalists in the audience. This is also the most hawkish foreign speech of the Soviet Union since Yanayev in 1991.Moreover, other countries also fully believe that the Soviet Union dared to do this, and it was precisely because it held the nuclear weapon in its hands that the Soviet Union's nuclear intimidation policy would work repeatedly.After all, no country dares to challenge the crazy polar bear on the issue of nuclear weapons. Kennedy also had lingering fears during the last Cuban missile crisis.

Of course, Comrade Vlakir's means are more than these. He ordered the Southern Joint Strategic Command to mobilize the Black Sea Fleet to the west coast of the Black Sea to put pressure on Turkey and create a tense situation.Even if Turkey has eight Perry-class frigates, in front of the Soviet Union's Glory-class and Kirov-class cruisers, it still seems a bit shattering.The Soviet Union regarded the Black Sea as its own territory and did not care about the opinions of other countries.

And this move of the Black Sea Fleet is also warning Turkey, as long as you dare to attack the Caucasus region, the Black Sea Fleet will attack the Turkish navy as soon as possible.And the first thing to consider is the attack of nuclear war strikes. Don't think that the Soviet Union has not set a tough example for so long, and forget that we still have the existence of the Strategic Rocket Army.

Vladimir's speech made the hawks in the entire Soviet army gear up and eager to try. They are ready to show the Soviet army's informationized combat capabilities to the world, and warn the West by the way that this is a modernized combat capability comparable to that of the United States.They used Georgia as a Gulf War-style experiment to test the combat capabilities of Soviet troops.

Suddenly, because of the incident in Georgia, the entire Caucasus and even the Black Sea region became tense.

This is the first time that Comrade Vladimir has shown extraordinary toughness. In his opinion, Turkey is like a guy with a short memory. He will only feel pain after hitting him hard once.

The Soviet Union is ready for war, are you ready?

A powerful Black Sea Fleet is cruising at their doorstep. The nuclear bomb silos deployed in the Caucasus region have entered a state of combat readiness. The Soviet armored group is attacking the Caucasus region. There are many crises for a while.

Now Turkish President Sezer is starting to have a headache again.

Chapter 6 Nineteen: The Eve of the War

Taking advantage of the civil strife in the Caucasus, Turkey repatriated the rebels who fled to Turkey to Georgia as mercenaries. In the South Caucasus mountains, the CIA provided Gorbachev with nearly 15 M60 tanks and 50 M113 armored vehicles. , and provided more than 3000 Kalashnikov rifles to support the Georgian rebellion.So when Comrade Vladimir issued a strong statement of condemnation, Sezer completely panicked.

Turkish leaders have long been afraid of the military strength of the Soviet Union, especially in recent years, the contest between the military and religious factions is destined to give birth to a moderate leader who coordinates the balance of all interests in the position of Turkish president. Rather than a tough hero.It was against this background that Sezer was born.After Maziyer's failure in power, Sezer, who served as a justice, became the president of Turkey in the contest between the military and the religious faction.
