USSR 1991

After watching this video, Yanayev was a little dazed. He only had this idea. Did these guys get the wrong script?Hey, you are obviously a separatist force, but you have turned into a hero of the Soviet Union defending territorial integrity?

Yanayev decided to call Comrade Yazov to discuss countermeasures. Because Comrade Varennikov went to Chechnya with the army, the only person who could discuss countermeasures with him was the Minister of Defense.

After Yazov watched the video, he fell into deep thought. He thought for a long time before saying to Yanayev, "This is the target of the rebellion that General Secretary Yanayev wanted to tell us at that time? The head of the Chechen rebel army Staff officer Kadyrov?"

"Yes, I want to hear Comrade Yazov's opinion." Yanayev asked, "For example, what is the plan of this guy named Kadyrov? What does his statement imply? "

"Implying nothing." Yazov habitually touched his chin to analyze the problem, "First, this Chechen leader wants to negotiate peace with you, of course anyone can see this, he wants to be the spokesperson for Chechen interests .Then the question is, whether Kadyrov can accept our bottom line, and whether his subordinates can follow his wishes, this is a question."

"The second question, Kadyrov begged us to quickly eliminate the Chechen rebels, but he himself has a very powerful armed force. How can this be explained? Another Chechen warlord? A Chechen warlord who obeys the central government Is it? Or is everything temporary.”

"The third question is also a key one. The armed forces of the Sufi faction are obviously inferior to the Dudayev government, so they released this video to show their weakness and at the same time ask for military aid in disguise. This point I I hope that President Yanayev can think clearly. Aid or no aid, will it feed a traitor."

Defense Minister Yazov's opinion is in line with his general framework, the only difference is the wonderful addition of small details, Yanayev nodded and said, "The first question and the second question can be ignored for now. Regardless, the important thing is the third question, should we support the Kadyrov government, or continue to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight until both factions are seriously injured and wiped out in one fell swoop?"

"I think we should support Kadyrov." Yazov said, "Even if the vitality of the two factions is greatly damaged, the Chechens who have lost confidence in the central government will continue to resist. At that time, we will still not be able to resolve the dispute, and the conflict will continue." It will continue. It is better to support a reliable watchdog in Chechnya to satisfy the interests of the vast majority of Chechens. But there is a problem now. Kadyrov has not made it clear that he will support the central government, so we cannot send regular troops Help them, the soldiers will mutiny if they know the government is helping their enemies."

Hearing the word mutiny, even Yanayev felt a little worried. He had no choice but to take control of the Guards and launch an armed coup to come to power.

Yanayev scratched his head, and suddenly he remembered that a team that was hiding deep hadn't been used yet, and he quickly said to Yazov, "Yes, we can support him without using regular armed forces, but we still have some There is no action by a private government secret armed force that can support these people."

"The general secretary is talking about the private paramilitary operator? You can try this." Yazov thought for a while, and felt that Yanayev's idea was quite reliable.

"We can parachute from the sky with the quick reaction force, enter part of the Sufi faction's sphere of influence, and then declare that the Soviet army has completely controlled the place. We can use this banner to train Kadyrov's people and provide them with arms. Aid. Some second-hand, obsolete BMP armored vehicles can be half-sold and half-given to them. We can cooperate with Kadyrov’s army openly and not let them be blamed by the Chechen people.”

Yanayev's approach is completely a replica of the little green man's operation during the Crimean crisis. At that time, Kadyrov pretended to attack the position where the rapid reaction force was stationed, but actually sent the troops there for training.I don't know what Dudayev's expression will be when they hear the news.

"This is indeed a good idea." Yazov agreed with Yanayev's unreasonable idea for the first time, "But these things are still too far away, and now we should slowly want to establish a relationship with Kadyrov. Dialogue and contact, and act when the time is right."

"Yes, the time will soon be ripe." Yanayev said with a smile.

Defense Minister Yazov shook his head, "Did the General Secretary think of something again? Every time you smile like this, I know that there will be good news about to happen."

"There is no good news." Yanayev said cheerfully. He just remembered the news of Kadyrov's assassination and death for a while. Since he changed the timeline, the assassination of Kadyrov Will it also advance accordingly.

Yanayev can't wait to see how the Chechen script continues to develop.

1 Before Chapter Twenty is Grozny

When Dudayev's government lost Sufi support, the battleground quickly reversed.Kadyrov's troops withdrew from the war one after another, and after moving to the secular site to wait and see what happened, only the Wahhabi sect and foreign mercenaries were left to face the torrent of Soviet steel.

Naturally, Yanayev reciprocated the favor very sensibly. He ordered the Soviet army to attack Dudayev's army with all its strength. For the area where Kadyrov's troops were stationed, as long as the opponent did not take the lead in provoking, try not to take offensive methods.So in the Chechen War, you will see a jaw-dropping scene. The commander of the rebel army and the commander of the Soviet army sat together, chatting and laughing, and even exchanged information between the Dudayev army to guide the Soviet army to attack the target.

In this regard, Dudayev was even more furious. He believed that Kadyrov had betrayed Chechnya and independence. Prepare closely.The conflict between the two factions has reached a breaking point.

After Gudelmes, Cherenvnaya, Argon and Urusmardan fell one after another, the Soviet army has advanced to the outskirts of Grozny, where the Soviet army finally encountered decent resistance, unlike the The previously mixed army, the well-equipped regular army and the internal affairs troops responsible for guerrilla warfare temporarily slowed down the advance of the Soviet army.

Although the T62 is an outdated tank model, its 115mm shells are still just as deadly.Moreover, the Shilka River anti-aircraft artillery deployed in the town also prevented the attack of the Hind helicopter. Before the rocket artillery position was ready, it temporarily won a respite for Grozny's reinforced defense.

It is already late February, the cold winter is gradually passing, and the warm spring is coming.The Soviet army planned the final offensive, took Grozny, and resolved the Chechen rebellion in one go.

And Yanayev made an amazing decision on this day. He wanted to go to the front to supervise the battle, and the general secretary went to battle in person to show his determination to conquer Chechnya.Yanayev firmly believes that before you have seen the enemy, good news will be spread among them, so the great Soviet cannot admit defeat, even if what Yanayev did was nothing more than help.

Although it was unanimously opposed by high-level officials, no one could stop Yanayev from going his own way.In the end, other people and Yanayev reached a compromise agreement under unavoidable circumstances. The general secretary can go to the front line and can only patrol in the safe rear camp, and the time is only one day, and he will come back immediately after the end.

So Yanayev became the first general secretary to go to the front to inspire and mobilize soldiers since the founding of the Soviet Union. Even Stalin in the Great Patriotic War did not have such courage and courage.

The weather in Chechnya is still bad. After the snow melts in the early spring, there are muddy roads everywhere. If you step on it, you will leave a deep mark. Yanayev drove towards the camp in a bumpy jeep. Riddled with holes and ruins, the great city once built by the Soviet government turned into ruins under the devastation of artillery fire.

"Compared to the destruction of the war, post-war repair work and maintenance of order are more difficult tasks." Looking at the Soviet troops patrolling everywhere outside the car window, Yanayev said with some emotion.

In order to welcome the arrival of the General Secretary and maintain Yanayev's safety, the internal affairs troops dispatched ten armored vehicles, eight tanks, three Hind helicopters and nearly 200 soldiers to protect Yanayev's safety. The security level in the rear is the highest, and the fear is the infiltration of the Chechen rebel guerrillas.

After arriving at the base camp, the soldiers were busy and busy. General Rogionov personally greeted Yanayev at the gate of the base camp. The heavily armed soldiers and the tanks in full swing made people think that they were the army preparing to go to the front line. Not the guard of honor that greets the president.

After Yanayev got out of the car, General Rogionov greeted him. He saluted the general secretary and said loudly, "Welcome the general secretary to the base camp for inspection."

Yanayev smiled at the soldiers behind him and waved, "Everyone has worked hard. Relax, boys, I am not here today to urge you, but as a volunteer to encourage you. Today my The identity is not the general secretary of the Soviet Union, but a patriot who hates the act of splitting the country!"

Yanayev's words won warm applause from the soldiers. General Rogionov smiled helplessly, thinking that the general secretary still likes to start with unreasonable ways, but his unreasonable ways have always been respected and respected by the people. love.

Yanayev knows better than anyone the importance of showing a people-friendly image on any occasion, whether it is a political show or a heartfelt speech.If the arrogant bureaucrats of the Soviet Union can do this, the disintegration will be delayed at least ten years later.

He did not intentionally mobilize all the soldiers to come out to watch Yanayev's speech. The soldiers were still busy at their respective posts. The soldiers who experienced the baptism of the Chechen War look very young, and their high-spirited appearance reminds people of the young soldiers in the Great Patriotic War.

"Dear soldiers, as you can see, every day the rear is promoting the great victory of Chechnya, how many enemy troops the Soviet army has wiped out, how many cities have been conquered. Maybe you will think that this is just to stabilize people's hearts However, I can tell you here responsibly that our army is indeed heading for a great victory, justice defeats evil, greatness belongs to the loyal Soviet army!"

"The act of splitting the motherland will be severely punished. Dudayev and their followers use religious teachings to confuse people. They try to think that our economy is not good, our society is in turmoil, and the Soviet Union has reached the most difficult moment. It can destroy our territorial integrity. , to divide our national sovereignty. But I will tell these people, they are wrong!"

"During the October Revolution, the Soviet regime was born on the corpse of the old Tsarist Russia. Everyone thought that the fragile new regime would be strangled in the cradle. But we stood up and made great and amazing achievements. From In just a few decades since 1945, we have emerged as one of the most powerful nations in the world, shivering in the shadows of those who tried to strangle us."

General Rogionov stood aside and observed the crowd. Under Yanayev's exciting speech, the soldiers with calm expressions gradually became short of breath, and there was a surprising light in their eyes, as if they were watching With his own great spiritual leader.

Even the soldiers who were busy on their posts stopped their work and quietly listened to Yanayev's passionate speech on the stage.

"And now, the Soviet is facing a major test again." Yanayev pointed his finger at Grozny ahead, and everyone followed his gesture and looked back, seeing the town billowing with thick smoke.At this time, hail rockets were bombarding the towns on the outskirts of Grozny indiscriminately. Some rebels stuck in the towns were not retreating steadily, and they were completely a joke in front of the powerful Soviet army without strong fortresses.

"Soldiers, in the city ahead of you, the last city of unyielding extremists is relying on the last city. Let us end this today. The glory of the Soviet victory will eventually shine on the whole of Grozny. Great glory will accompany you. I will follow your neat steps all the way! The despicable enemies have nowhere to hide, they will be crushed under our iron fists, and they will pay the due price for what they have done!"

"Ulla!" Yanayev raised his fist and shouted.The military reporter raised his camera and secretly recorded the scene where the general secretary raised his arms and shouted.

Under the exuberant atmosphere, the soldiers excitedly raised their Kalashnikov rifles. Even in the environment where the sound of the guns was loud, they could not conceal their strong emotions.With high morale, they followed Yanayev and shouted in unison.

"Ula!"

The slogan of charge resounded throughout the sky of Chechnya.

Chapter 121 The Soviet Organ

After delivering this speech, the ready-to-go army began to go to the front line, and Yanayev would also be sent to a safer rear under heavy protection.For the sake of caution, Rogionov will accompany Yanayev all the way to the rear, and will not return to the base camp until the general secretary arrives safely at the airport.

General Rogionov knew very well that his reputation and glory were given by Yanayev. If something happened to the general secretary, his military career would come to an end.

In the jeep, Yanayev held the front-line report submitted by Rogionov, and Mance asked methodically, "Comrade Rogionov, can the logistics materials keep up with the pace of the army? Those in the logistics department Will people embarrass you?"

"No." Rogionov shook his head. "The supplies arrived at the front line in a very timely manner. The soldiers did not go into battle hungry. Thanks to the General Secretary for his concern. Moreover, the time for the distribution of warm clothes also allowed the soldiers to pass smoothly. Harsh winter."

"That's good." Yanayev nodded with satisfaction. During the first Chechen war in history, the logistics department resold supplies regardless of the life and death of frontline soldiers, which caused the Russian army to fight against the well-prepared Chechen rebels fight.He continued, "I have greeted Arkhipov from the logistics department, and I said that once the front line responds to me that the logistics material subsidy cannot be followed, or if someone is found to be deducting and reselling military supplies, it can not be used if the evidence is convincing. Through a military court, directly by shooting."

"However, there are really insiders who took risks. After being shot by Arkhipov, such a thing has never happened again." Yanayev said calmly, as if saying another ordinary thing.

Only then did Rogionov suddenly realize that the Soviet army's smooth logistics support was due to Yanayev's good intentions.

"Just prepare for the battle on the front line, and I will help you with the logistics. There are a lot of moths in the army now. A single war can expose the hidden internal problems. It is time to vigorously rectify the bad atmosphere in the army. "Yanayev said something meaningful. To Rogionov's ears, it was a drastic reform. First, he broke through many obstacles and reset the political commissar. Later, he vigorously reduced the military power in the Far East. Now he is ready to picket corrupt elements in the army. At the same time, Yanayev is cracking down on heresy and grasping military power, but at the same time, he is also vigorously changing the unbearable image of the army among the people, and regaining the trust and respect of the people.

It was only then that Rogionov realized that the army that Yanayev had always emphasized belonged to the Soviet and the people, and it was not just a casual talk.Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing respect to the general secretary in front of him who was in a high position but still kept a low profile.

"By the way, General Rogionov, you have to perform well in this war, especially the Chechen armed forces must be wiped out in Grozny, and they must not be allowed to flee to the northern mountains to hide and counterattack us." Yanaye The husband put down the report and said that what he is most worried about now is that the absconding rebels will attack civilians and launch terrorist attacks.This is the last thing Yanayev can tolerate.
