Soviet Union 1991

Lukyanov was not originally qualified to mobilize troops, but he had a staunch ally in the airborne troops who provided "facilitation services" for his plan. General Rutskoi was the key link in his control. Marshal Shaposhnikov was forced to move closer to Yeltsin under domestic pressure, but he firmly stood on Yanayev's side during the August 19th coup, which also led to some democratic officers in the Air Force escaping the Great Purge by chance. After the Soviet Union experienced a series of civil wars and foreign wars to safeguard regional interests, some weeds that were not cleared up continued to rise with the war and medals, and finally colluded with the conservatives.

Lukyanov used the secrets of the democrats to win them all over his side, and he also used this crisis to threaten General Marutskoi to participate in his dangerous game.

Rutskoi, a native of Kursk, joined the Soviet Air Force and graduated from the Barnaul Higher Military Aviation School in 1971 as a helicopter pilot. Afterwards, he served in the North Caucasus Military District, gradually promoted to lieutenant colonel and deputy regiment commander, and entered the Gagarin Air Force Academy to learn how to use helicopters to deal with mountain guerrilla warfare.

After 1980, he was sent to Afghanistan to perform missions, performed 426 flights, was hit 4 times, and gradually promoted to colonel and deputy division commander. In 1988, he was shot down while flying in Pakistan, and was captured by guerrillas and handed over to the Pakistani government. The Soviet government exchanged Rutskoi with a Pakistani spy from the Pakistani government. After returning home, Rutskoi was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. According to the original history, Rutskoi would participate in the People's Congress and become Yeltsin's partner. He turned into Yeltsin's staunch ally in the August 19 Incident, and was beaten to a pulp in the 1993 shelling of the White House.

In this timeline, Rutskoi is much luckier than before. In 1990, Yanaev's transfer order made him never have the opportunity to enter the Kremlin to participate in politics.

He hated the general secretary far more than Lukyanov hated him.

The coup lasted only one night. Rutskoi had no way to mobilize helicopters. He could only secretly transport the troops to downtown Moscow by car and hide more than 100 people in the White House when it was getting dark.

Lukyanov invited Vladimir to the White House for an emergency meeting. This force was the key to solving the threat of conservatives.

Rutskoi, sitting in the truck, could still remember the words Lukyanov said before he left, "It is only a matter of time before Yanaev takes action against us. Comrade Rutskoi, please think about it carefully. If Yanaev takes action, can the position of major general still be maintained?"

"Pah."

The answer is no. He is deeply involved with the Minister of Organization. The Supervisory Committee really wants to settle accounts later. Rutskoi can't hide.

The truck drove into the underground garage from the side door of the White House. The contact person was already standing in the underground parking lot waiting for them to arrive. After the car was stable, the bolt on the rear door of the car was opened, and the soldiers with live ammunition got off the car and took the elevator to the small room in the conference room in batches. Tonight, a magnificent coup will be staged in the White House. The people in the White House had been evacuated in advance due to temporary changes, and only those who planned the coup were still making arrangements in the room.

The mutinous soldiers entered the highly alert White House one after another. They were ambushed here. Considering the possibility of failure, Lukyanov stockpiled supplies in the White House and transformed it into a fortress that could be held for a long time.

After everything was arranged quickly, Rutskoi called Lukyanov.

"Hello, Comrade Lukyanov, this is Rutskoi. Everything has been arranged according to your instructions. You can act."

"Okay, Comrade Rutskoi, we will all be remembered by history."

After Lukyanov put down the phone, he took a deep breath. He turned around and looked at Pavlov, who was sitting behind him with an angry face.

"I'm sorry, Prime Minister Pavlov. I have to ask you to stay here until everything is over. I will let you go after everything is over."

Lukyanov took a breath and said slowly, "After all, the whole of Moscow is in the most turbulent period now. After our operation tonight is successful, Yanaev will no longer be a threat to the conservatives. Without Yanaev, Vladimir will not be a threat to us."

Pavlov seemed to be listening to a joke. He leaned back and replied coldly, "Without Yanaev, Vladimir will not be a threat? Lukyanov, it seems that you lack the understanding of Soviet leaders. Necessary cognition. Let me tell you one thing, whether Yanaev is in Moscow or not, as long as he is still in the position of general secretary, you should be in awe. "

Lukyanov did not hide the triumphant smile of the winner, "So what? Now he is trapped in the Foros villa, cut off from the outside world. Even if Yanaev knows that a coup will take place in the Kremlin, he can't do anything. Because the call inviting Vladimir to the White House for an emergency meeting has been broadcast. Soon he will step in here unconsciously, and then be captured by us in one fell swoop. "

"I don't need to explain the plot afterwards. "

"Ridiculous. "

Pavlov said with great disdain. He took over Lukyanov's words and continued, "Yes, they will arrest him on the charge of treason, or even execute him in secret. After eliminating the most threatening Comrade Vladimir's party, Yanayev will no longer be a threat. Next, force him to issue a speech at the Foros Villa to dismiss the general secretary in advance, and then you will take over the country naturally. Only a few people will die to get a happy ending. Who would not want that?"

"The problem is..."

Pavlov moved forward and stared at Lukyanov. Husband, "Do you really think that you can't be harmed in the Foros Villa? Or do you think Yanayev has stepped into your trap obediently? Although I don't know what conspiracy the General Secretary is plotting behind the scenes, it is definitely not as simple as you think. Everything you see may be deliberately let you see, and what you don't know has actually slowly surrounded you. Comrade Lukyanov, in my opinion, you should be the one who says take care."

"Take care, you have successfully offended someone you shouldn't have offended."

"And his methods of dealing with traitors are always ruthless."
