Soviet Union 1991

(First update)

Seryosha instantly understood that the person in front of him turned out to be the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Under Yanayev's majestic gaze, the usually defiant Seryosha felt frightened. He opened his mouth and didn't know. What should be said. But Yanayev would not leave him time to think, and said directly to Gromov beside him, "General Grolov, do you remember what I said before? I don't want to see scum and moths in the army. , so I hope you know what to do next."

Gromov, who chose to side with Yanayev, nodded decisively. He walked up to Seryosha and said, "You know what to do, Comrade Seryosha. You'd better do it yourself. Don't do it yourself." Make it difficult for me. From today on, you will be dismissed from your position and suspended. Even your immediate boss can't help you this time."

Gromov probably pronounced the words "immediate boss" very strongly, just to let Yanayev around him know that there was a mastermind behind Seryosha, and to trick Commander-in-Chief Chernavin once. However, Yanayev had no expression on his face and just kept everything in mind.

Seeing Seryosha standing there motionless, Yanayev frowned and said impatiently, "Please give in, comrade. Don't stand in front of the hero. You don't have the qualifications."

Gromov, who wanted to please Yanayev, quickly winked at the people around him. The guards around him quickly came over understandingly, grabbed Seryosha's arm and pulled him out. Seryosha came to his senses. He grabbed Gromov's sleeve and shouted loudly, "You can't do this to me, General Gromov. I have made contributions to the navy, and I have shed blood for the navy. Let me go. I want to see Cherna." Commander-in-Chief Wen!”

Gromov threw away his hand in disgust, and allowed Seryosha to be dragged down by the guards howling like ghosts, leaving a string of sharp echoes of mourning in the corridor, which was chilling to hear.

Gromov wisely withdrew. Yanayev and Remus were the only two people left in the small, dark solitary room. Remus, who had not slept well for several days, raised his head, looked at the man in front of him, and said with some self-deprecation, "Is it because I haven't had a good rest these days? Why do I see the shadow of the General Secretary?"

"You read that right. Comrade Remus, I am General Secretary Yanayev, here to pick you up." Yanayev sighed and said slowly, and he stretched out his hand in front of Remus. Trying to pull him up. But the other party just waved his hand, raised his head, and looked at Yanayev with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

"I just want to know one thing. I safeguarded the interests of the motherland. Did I do something wrong?" Remus, who was righteous even under Seryosha's coercion and inducement, had an expression full of humiliating sadness at this moment.

"No, those who safeguard the interests of the motherland are never wrong." Seeing that Remus, who was supposed to be a hero of the Soviet Union, was now as miserable as a prisoner, Yanayev suddenly felt heartbroken for no reason.

"That's good, that's good." Remus asked. "Can I resume my job now? I still want to continue to defend the borders of the motherland in the sea."

"Comrade Remus, of course you can be reinstated." Yanayev said, "Not only will you be reinstated, but you will also be treated as a hero. The reason why our motherland is great is not because it created the huge war that scares the West. Machines, but with unsung heroes like you, our ideals and our struggle will not fail as long as you are still here.”

"Okay, General Secretary Yanayev. I believe you." Remus, who had been silent for a long time, smiled for the first time. He also stretched out his hand to hold Yanayev's extended right hand and stood up. .

Yanayev finally breathed a sigh of relief when he finally saw Remus. He looked around at the gloomy environment and said, "A prison like this is only reserved for enemies of the Soviet Union. A true hero like you should be greeted with flowers and applause. Instead of staying here and being forgotten."

Two hours later, an energetic Remus appeared in the award ceremony hall of the Severomorsk headquarters. Standing on the podium, Remus received the Alexander Nevsky Medal from Yanayev in an unusual manner. Used to commend him for his bravery and decisiveness in the Arctic Ocean crisis. Flexible command of the battle severely damaged U.S. ships.

When Remus presented the award, there was fierce applause from the audience. This was the first time that the North Sea Fleet received such a significant medal award in the past ten years. So much so that when Remus, who had always been calm and composed, faced the sudden honor, his hands were still shaking with excitement.

No one would have thought that one minute he was a prisoner and the next second he would become a heroic hero of the Soviet Union.

"I am very grateful to General Secretary Yanayev." Remus was a little excited and incoherent when delivering his speech. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Likewise, I do not think I have done anything wrong to attack the United States' violation of maritime waters." Submarines are an unshirkable responsibility for every captain! If I were given the choice again, I would still go for it without hesitation, even if I was imprisoned in a solitary cell or retired early, I would never regret it!"

As soon as Remus finished speaking, Yanayev who was sitting next to him stood up and applauded first. Seeing that the general secretary was setting an example, the people in the audience quickly stood up and gave him the same warm applause. After Remus retreated, Yanayev stood on the podium and gave a speech, just like the convention in the system, but Yanayev's speech was far more outstanding than those bureaucrats who had no fingers in the mud. Some.

"Captain Remus handled this crisis in the Arctic Ocean very well. He used real actions to tell the Americans that this is our sea area and the territory is sacrosanct. Today, I also want to endow the K-246 plug here. The new code name for the La-class nuclear submarine, Hunting the Mayflower.”

There was an uproar as soon as this statement came out. They did not expect that the general secretary would give such a provocative name.

What Yanayev was thinking was that since the movie "The Hunt for Red October" was released in the United States the year before last, he wouldn't mind taking advantage of this crisis to give the submarine a new name and feel proud.

Yanayev continued, his tone was soothing and eloquent, "Comrades here, I have heard this sentence before, the greatness of a country does not depend on how strong his words or attitude are. How determined. It depends on whether it has had heroes. A country without heroes is sad, and a country that forgets heroes is shameful. Do you know the price of a country’s dignity? It was bought through the sacrifices of countless people like Comrade Remus. Why did the Soviet Union become so powerful after the war and become a country surrounded and hated by the Western world? ? It’s because our soldiers, the great Red Army, did not choose to abandon our motherland at the moment of her greatest danger.”

Infected by his own emotions, Yanayev's eyes turned red when he said this. He looked around at the silent people in the audience and continued, "When you shout slogans, everything is for the Soviets, for the revolution, and for us. When it comes to defending the dignity of the motherland, like Comrade Remus, please prove your great victory with practical actions instead of empty slogans or despicable practices."

"Our comrades' thoughts have been shaken and deviated. They enjoy the benefits provided by the people and the hard work of their fathers, but they do not fulfill their obligations to serve the people, and they appear to be at ease and try to suppress them with so-called free thoughts. Those who fight for their motherland People. I just want to give them a word of advice here, the Soviet will never forgive those who betray the people, and you will eventually be punished." This paragraph was used by Yanayev to warn Chernavin and other naval liberal officers, If you choose to defect to the other side, we will never forgive the traitor.

"I hope all comrades can remember this sentence. The motherland will eventually choose those who are loyal to the motherland! The motherland will eventually remember those who devote themselves to the motherland!"

As soon as the last sonorous and passionate words fell, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. All excited, excited, unwilling, angry, and resentful eyes were focused on Yanayev at this moment, and they did not move away for a long time. (To be continued.)
