Soviet Union 1991

Extra 67: Prelude to the Moscow Coup

10 Downing Street. .

The sky was a little gloomy, and the gray sky was like the dark clouds covering Europe, brewing the atmosphere of conspiracy.

British Defense Secretary Farrow stood at the door worriedly, not knowing how to face Prime Minister Theresa. After he received the news from France ten minutes ago, he immediately put down all the work he was doing and headed to the Prime Minister's Office at No. 10 Downing Street, preparing to report the bad news to the Prime Minister. The British fleet was completely destroyed on this day, but the Soviet Red Navy, the initiator, did not suffer any losses. This is an unacceptable fact for the entire Ministry of Defense. Although the Sun Never Sets has long since fallen from the first-tier sea power empire to the second-tier level, compared to the entire European continent, the Royal Navy is still one of the best imperial fleets.

It's just that the dream of the empire finally came to an abrupt end on this day, and the last ray of sunset finally came to a complete end at this moment.

Theresa held the telegram and staggered to stand up, but her body uncontrollably fell back to her seat. British Defense Secretary Farrow helped her, but unexpectedly she was rejected.

The Minister of Defense lowered his head and whispered, "The French fleet has withdrawn from the Baltic Sea and deployed defenses in the direction of the North Sea. They believed that raiding Kaliningrad with insufficient intelligence was a wrong choice, so they chose to withdraw, and Announced that the North Sea Defense Line will be deployed as the first line of defense.”

This news was like a bolt from the blue. Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment, the French actually plotted against the British behind their backs. Teresa almost slammed the phone on the table onto the red carpet.

"The British fleet was completely wiped out, but the French fleet was unscathed? This is impossible, absolutely impossible. Why, have the French formed an alliance with the Soviet Union behind the scenes?"

Teresa grabbed her hair and stared at Farrow's silent face like a madman. Finally, she calmed down and knew that now was not the time to blame each other. The British Navy had lost its backbone, and now they could only pray that the Soviet Union could slow down the attack.

She asked quietly, "How are our people doing?"

Farrow glanced at the list and replied in a low voice, "There were heavy casualties. Except for the twelve survivors, everyone else died. Their feedback was that they were wiped out by a Soviet missile."

Teresa tensed up when she heard the missile.

"Tactical nuke?"

She asked in a low voice, "If it's a tactical nuclear bomb, we need you to be prepared for World War III."

The Minister of Defense shook his head and replied, "No nuclear explosions have been detected in the Baltic Sea, and there is no feedback from seismic monitoring in Scandinavia. We suspect it is a secret weapon like the one on the Ukrainian border. The Soviet Union has now I am eager to prepare for a war. Prime Minister Theresa, I still say the same thing. From now on to resume the production of British nuclear weapons, we need sufficient war reserves..."

Yuri's clone has been following Teresa in order to control her mind and veto any proposal on nuclear weapons. Because of the imperfections of the clones, Yuri has no chance to change the country's situation directly through the country's leaders.

The gloomy eyes hidden behind the curtain quietly looked at everything happening in the office.

"Are you forcing me?"

Teresa raised her head and asked very calmly, "I have already emphasized the issue of nuclear weapons. We will not be the first to use them unless it is a last resort. At least everyone has not broken their skin yet."

"But sooner or later we will break up with them. This is just the last resort to save our lives."

"Okay, I will think about it carefully, Minister Farrow. Now I need the Ministry of Defense to come up with a plan. How to regain the Baltic Sea. Once we lose the strategic locations of three countries, Kaliningrad, Belarus and Lithuania will be bordering the Soviet Union. Let alone protecting them, we will not be able to protect the territory of Poland! "

Teresa refused to let the war burn to Western Europe. He hoped to start a tug-of-war in Poland or even step back to Germany to exhaust the strength of the Soviet Union and NATO. After the decline of France, Germany and Russia, Britain will become the only country with the remaining strength on the European continent.

Teresa's wishful thinking was very clever, and she used the war to once again change the situation in Europe. Starting from the Prussian Unification War, to the Franco-Prussian War, and then to World War I and World War II, almost every continental war was accompanied by the rise of a new overlord and the fall of the glory of the old era.

Theresa also wanted to use the advancement of the Soviet Union to bring Britain back onto the stage of history.

It's a pity that her first step was wrong. What the British and French combined fleet brought her was not the joy of victory, but the sorrow of annihilation.

The proud fleet was destroyed, completely ending the last lingering afterglow.

"Minister Farrow."

As soon as he stepped out of No. 10 Downing Street, the Secretary of Defense met Sawworth, the head of MI6, who had been waiting for him. The other party seemed to have known that he would appear here, and had been waiting for his arrival.

"Chief Sowers."

Farrow glanced at him and said in a serious tone, "You should know that MI6 should not be here at this time. It will cause others to speculate. Don't forget your wife and daughter. The current actions of MI6 Should be more cautious.”

Sowers touched his nose in embarrassment and lowered his voice and said, "Of course I know, but there are some things I need you to take a look at. When I gave them to Prime Minister Teresa before, she refused to give them because it was false information. MI6 investigates deeply."

Farrow became interested. Logically speaking, the Secretary of Defense did not have the power to proactively interfere with intelligence, but when the Prime Minister refused, he was obliged to assume the role of first-in-command.

"What intelligence mission."

Farrow lit a cigarette for himself and listened to the other party quietly.

"The CIA intelligence we intercepted shows that someone inside Moscow is secretly contacting them."

"Internal response?"

Farrow nodded. There must be many people who want to escape from Romanov's hands. Maybe they can bring useful intelligence to NATO.

What Sowers said next made Farrow's eyes widen. The cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth also fell instantly, and the bullet landed on the asphalt road, splashing with little bits of firelight.

"Yes, internal agents. MI6 secretly conducted data analysis. These people are very likely to carry out a coup within Moscow." (To be continued...)
