Soviet Union 1991

As soon as Shushkevich finished speaking, the originally quiet square outside the Georgian Parliament building was suddenly broken by the sharp sound of sirens. The first reaction of everyone in the conference room was to turn their heads and look at the door. The originally closed door was blocked by an arrogant wave from outside. The force knocked it open. Soldiers wearing uniforms of the Ministry of Internal Affairs rushed into the conference room. They moved so quickly that they hardly gave the security personnel any chance to react. The husband targeted all Georgian conspirators preparing for a final resistance. Warn the other person not to act rashly.

This time the KGB dispatched far more troops than Steiner and Beishvili's rebel troops. There were even multiple BMP infantry fighting vehicles outside blocking the entire square. Soldiers with live ammunition patrolled back and forth, leading to the outside world. The passage was blocked, and the entire square was filled with a tense atmosphere of political suspicion. This night, the citizens of Tbilisi will feel again the terrible impact of the original incident.

This is definitely the most serious political crisis since the September 9 Incident in 1991.

The Mi-8 helicopter was hovering over the Georgian Parliament. The searchlight on the aircraft pierced the dark night sky and was exploring every suspicious shadow. This time, the orders issued by the Caucasus Military District and the KGB were not to miss anyone, so 12.7 The muzzle of the mm machine gun carefully searches for prey that may be fleeing, and then delivers a fatal blow to them.

This time the net closing operation was personally supervised by General Rodionov. He personally landed on the square in a Mi8 helicopter. After the clearance, the Georgian Parliament building was filled with heavily defended soldiers. General Rodionov entered the parliament building under the protection of a group of soldiers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

At the door of the conference room, he saw Shushkevich making a victory gesture towards him. The other party smiled and said, "Thanks to Comrade Rodionov's timely assistance, I was not killed by a group of desperate and crazy people. I was not torn to pieces by a group of desperate and insane lunatics. Thanks to Comrade Rodionov for his timely assistance."

Rodionov did not speak, but despised the smug little man from the bottom of his heart, and then walked into the conference room. The parliamentary staff inside were still firmly restrained in their seats. The previous order was that no one was allowed to leave this small room before Rodionov arrived.

When the real power holder of the Caucasus appeared in front of them, everyone's hearts suddenly became tense, as if a ferocious and cunning wolf suddenly broke into the territory. Rodionov, a hawk who earned the title of "The Butcher" during the Tbilisi riots, was suffocating regardless of his style as the iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck or the size of a Siberian bear.

After experiencing the humiliation in 1989 and the glory in 1991, Rodionov, who was deeply appreciated by Yanayev, became a trump card deployed by the General Secretary in the Caucasus, giving him great power. Specifically target and suppress those national forces that attempt to split the country, eliminate potential religious extremists, and use high-pressure and harsh means to suppress all forces that want to separate the joining countries.

After entering the conference room, Rodionov sat in Shushkevich's seat before. He looked around at the people who were afraid to express their anger and said with a smile, "After dealing with the political turmoil in 1991, After that, I once said this sentence, 'After experiencing the indulgence of the Gorbachev era Later, these people will eventually pay the price for their turbulent behavior. 'But obviously some people have not learned a profound lesson. They think they can still set off a trend of Western liberal movement in Georgia. Do they? Have you forgotten that time has long abandoned this group of people? "

No one dared to speak, let alone Beishvili, the instigator. He did not even dare to raise his head and look at General Rodionov.

“Many people were dealt with in the events in Georgia and the three Baltic countries in 1991, and some of the relatives and friends of the comrades here died in what you call the Stalinist purges. We are very grateful for this. ." Rodionov specifically used the word "lucky", which stirred everyone's nerves.

But his words were not over yet. Rodionov said in a small but majestic voice, "I'm glad that in 1991, these damn guys deserved their punishment. Fortunately, their destruction saved the Caucasus. Fortunately, their descendants Just like them, they don't know how to praise. Be prepared to follow the path of those who deserve it, so that we can completely stabilize the situation in the entire Caucasus region. Your death will be used to exchange for eternal peace in the entire participating countries. Everyone is willing to see such an ending. You deserve it, and we are relieved. In one breath, everyone gets what they need.”

"Bastard!" Someone finally couldn't help it anymore. He stood up and wanted to pounce on Rodionov, but was kicked back to his seat by the soldiers around him. He gritted his teeth and looked at the enemy in front of him. If possible, he would rather fight with him. The enemies died together.

"You are like the remnants of the Bourbon dynasty. You are dissatisfied with our system. You want to go back to the era when capital replaced hereditary inheritance and controlled the people of a country? Let the people use hard work to create value for a small group of you? It's simply Dream, in the Soviet Union, the power of this country is not decided by Moscow, let alone your income, but belongs to the people of the entire Soviet Union.”

"Not just you, the entire Caucasus region will be implicated because of your coup." Rodionov said with a sneer.

"Not just because of our relationship? Could it be that the game you set is not just against us in Tbilisi?" Steiner was a little panicked. He clenched his fists tightly and tried to keep himself calm. From the beginning of Rodionov's long speech, he vaguely felt that this was a conspiracy, and there was a bigger conspiracy behind it.

"Do you really think that a rebel group in Tbilisi is worthy of our painstaking design and layout? From the moment we got Comrade Shushkevich's letter of accusation, we had every reason to arrest all of you. Thrown into a secret KGB prison for review.”

"But we didn't do that, do you know why?" Rodionov asked the other party.

Steiner, who was not too stupid, understood it in an instant. He stared at Rodionov closely, as if he were watching the devil Satan and replied in a trembling tone, "Do you want us to start a rebellion? Take the opportunity to eliminate Georgia and stabilize the situation in Tbilisi? Oh my God, your target is not us at all, but the whole of Georgia. Moscow can even use this matter to control Georgia more firmly, for example, cancel the membership. country?"

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but whisper. If this is really the case, Moscow's methods are extremely vicious, deliberately using the coup to deal with Georgia, causing the people on this land to lose their last trace of independence. hope has completely become a plaything in the hands of the Kremlin.

Rodionov shook his head. Steiner and others are still too naive. Do they really think that the Kremlin is targeting this group of narrow-minded nationalists? Yanayev's vision is even longer-term. Between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, Georgia, Chechnya, Armenia, and Azerbaijan are all in Yanayev's pocket. No country is allowed to extend its influence.

"The Georgia incident this time is just a trigger for major changes in the Caucasus, and even the Crimean Peninsula and the Baltic Sea coast. Don't think that the Soviet Union's ambition is just to think about a small Georgia. From cleaning up Are the Wahhabis in Chechnya really just trying to prevent the spread of terrorism in the Caucasus by driving them to the Arctic Circle?

At this point, Steiner finally guessed Moscow's true intention. If it is what he thought, then Yanayev will perform an unprecedented feat, an action that has never been done even in the Stalin era.

General Rodionov said, "After this Georgia incident, we will strengthen our control over all the alliance countries. Yes, we will start from canceling the alliance countries and turning them into autonomous regions of the Soviet Union." (To be completed.) Continued)8
