Soviet Union 1991

(Third update)

All the enemies in the suburban towns of Grozny were wiped out. What surprised the attacking troops was that no one of the rebels said a word of surrender until the last man fell. And the Soviet troops really fulfilled their warning of sending all the rebels to hell. On this day, the armored division attacking Grozny won the title of "Activity Hell", which was feared by Dudayev's rebels.

After Yanayev got off the plane at Moscow International Airport and returned to the Kremlin, he received a major victory message from the front line. His brows, which had been furrowed for several days, finally relaxed and he smiled for the first time. He greeted the sender. Defense Minister Yazov, who came to report the good news, said, "Comrade Yazov, after hearing this news, I feel as if winter is finally about to pass, and Chechnya has ushered in a new round of spring."

Before Yazov could reply, Yanayev added, "Haha, it's just a short spring. Chechnya will have many headaches in the future. This problem must be dealt with, otherwise it will still be a problem. There are hidden dangers for future divisions.”

Yazov reported to the General Secretary on the recent situation, including the issue of military security that Yanayev was most concerned about. After the report, he returned to the office and continued working. A few minutes after he sat down, the phone next to him suddenly rang. Defense Minister Yazov had just answered the outside call and said hello, and his expression suddenly changed.

Yazov, with a gloomy face, said yes, and answered the phone while writing on a piece of paper. At the same time, he hung up the phone and handed the note to the office assistant, and then walked towards the President's Office in a hurry, handing it back as he walked. said loudly. "Quick. Get me through to Genoranov, the director of the KGB Technical Bureau. A call will be made to the President's Office later. Let me find out where the signal for that call comes from!"

The civilian staff working at their desks raised their heads and saw Defense Minister Yazov walking towards the General Secretary's office. He was walking so hurriedly that he was afraid of being slow. He was thinking about what major incident made the Defense Minister so uneasy.

Yanayev, who was tired from traveling and traveling, was just about to lie down on the sofa and take a nap when a rapid knock on the door interrupted his sleepiness. He had to get up from the sofa and say to the person at the door, please come in.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yazov rushed in from the door and said anxiously to Yanayev. "I just received a call from Kadyrov from Chechnya, saying that he had something important to discuss with President Yanayev."

"What? That old fox couldn't hold it any longer so quickly?" Yanayev sat up from the sofa, straightened his clothes, and then asked, "When did it come here? What are you going to discuss with me?" matter?"

"I don't know." Yazov shook his head. "He just asked me to tell him your external contact number. He said he would call you personally at three o'clock this afternoon. Please make sure you are by the phone then."

"Then did you ask Comrade Genolanov to come over with the equipment?" Yanayev asked, as Kadyrov issued a final statement and then disappeared. No one knows where he is now, if he made the call himself. Then the specific location of Kadyrov can be determined.

Yanayev did not believe Dudayev, nor did he believe Kadyrov. Since Kadyrov could trade with him, he could also betray the Soviets. Therefore, Yanayev must firmly control the intelligence information of both parties in order to achieve unexpected results.

How could the shrewd Yazov not think of this? He said to Yanayev, "I notified Comrade Genolanov as soon as possible, and he must have arrived by now."

Half an hour later, Genoranov appeared in Yanayev's office with a lot of equipment. It looked like an antique surveillance equipment from an old movie, but it was the most advanced of this era. Monitoring equipment. After dozens of minutes of tossing, the conscientious Comrade Genolanov finally installed all the electronic equipment. He said to Yanayev, "When the call comes later, we can track Card Where did Luo Fe come from?"

What followed was a long and boring wait for Kadyrov to call. Time passed by, and just when Yanayev thought it was an April Fool's Day joke that was premature, the silent phone suddenly rang.

Yanayev picked up the phone and said hello.

A familiar name came from the unfamiliar tone on the other end of the phone, "General Secretary Yanayev, I am the former Chief of General Staff of the Chechen rebels, Kadyrov. I am glad that you can take time out of your busy schedule to talk to me. "

Yanayev winked at Genolanov beside him, who immediately began to prepare to track the location where Kadyrov made the same call.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Kadyrov, in my eyes there is no so-called Chief of General Staff of Chechnya. You are a citizen of the Soviet Union and you will always be." Wrong covered up the past and suggested to the other party that he was having a friendly conversation with Kadyrov on an equal and friendly level.

"That's good, President Yanayev." Kadyrov said, "Oh, by the way, you don't have to think about asking your KGB people to find where this call came from. Even if you track that Location, I’m not there either, so let’s get right to the point, Mr. President.”

Yanayev was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at Yazov and Genolanov. The latter also looked at him with a puzzled look and shrugged helplessly. Yanayev had no choice but to hold the microphone tightly and asked, "Main topic? What topic do you want to discuss with me?"

"The future." Kadyrov finally stopped talking about it and said straight to the point, "The future of Chechnya, after Dudayev's rebels are eliminated, I want to know how Moscow will treat Chechnya? Like before Established a Soviet secretary in Chechnya, but the war that has been started will not be extinguished so easily."

"I know." Yanayev said lightly, "Chechens want independence and freedom, and I can give you freedom. But if I don't give it, you can't rob it, let alone betray the Soviet Union. Any traitor who violates the will of the Soviet Union will be punished. Punishment, that’s what I said.”

Kadyrov was silent for a while and then said, "On behalf of the Wahhabi faction in Chechnya, I apologize for the harm and disaster caused by the split of the motherland. I hope that the motherland can accept us again."

Kadyrov's apology was not recognized by Yanayev. He continued, "I need an apology now, but I want to know what happens to you Sufis if the Chechen armed forces annihilate all Wahhabi factions seeking independence." What should I do to satisfy myself? Should I support my own army or become the king? There are also the religious issues of Islam, which I have emphasized. Many times, our political party is an atheist party that will not step back or compromise on the issue of religious propagation. If any of you wants to establish a fundamentalist regime in the Caucasus, Muslim law will prevail. Regardless of whether it is a secular country, you must first ask the real people in power in this area. I don’t agree with it, and no one can.”

"Also, the constitution promulgated by the Soviet government is the foundation of a country. I will shoot anyone who dares to advocate such things as Islamic rule of law in the Caucasus."

Yanayev has made clear his attitude that other issues can be discussed only after these conditions on religious issues are agreed upon, otherwise there will be no need to discuss anything else. Yanayev is well aware of what those Islamic sects are like. If you dare to spread extremist teachings on my territory, I will give you a lard bullet and send you to hell.

Kadyrov on the other end of the phone chose to remain silent. Yanayev also knew that these conditions were unacceptable to the other party. He continued, "Call me after you have thought about these issues, or come to Moscow for negotiations. , we all have a friendly welcome, that’s it, take care, Comrade Kadyrov.”

Finally, as if he remembered something, Yanayev kindly warned Kadyrov, "You are at odds with the Wahhabi faction represented by Dudayev. Be careful that they will launch a bomb attack. After all, in the future Chechnya needs a strong leader like you.”

Hearing Yanayev's concerned greetings, Kadyrov finally laughed out loud and said, "Although there are some differences in political opinions, Mr. President, you are still a very frank and worthy friend. Unlike some fake Politicians with false eyes, such as the dead Yeltsin.”

"Haha, the same goes for you, Comrade Kadyrov." Yanayev said with a smile, "If possible, the Soviet is willing to become a loyal friend of the Muslim world in the Caucasus."

"When the day comes that we can come to an agreement, you will be our friend, Mr. President."

Although the initial negotiations were a bit bumpy, they ended happily. Yanayev raised his head and asked Genolanov, "How is the tracking going, Comrade Genolanov. Do you know where this call came from?"

"The call was made from Turkey." Genolanov said with a look of embarrassment. "We can only trace the source of the signal to the border area of ​​Turkey, but I don't know where the actual call was. This kind of preparedness The calls that come are usually well-prepared and are not easily discovered.”

"Huh, it doesn't matter, you tried your best. I'm just a little curious about what methods he used. Even our top personnel couldn't find his whereabouts." Although Yanayev was a little disappointed, Kadyrov was willing to The call shows that there is still hope that the Chechen issue can be resolved through peaceful dialogue.

The only thing Yanayev has to do now is to wait for news of General Rodionov's triumphant victory to be returned from the front. (To be continued.)
