“Severely punish the murderer of the bombing!”
“Return the truth to me, return my compatriots!”
“The Soviets cannot shield criminals!”
“Georgia belongs to Georgians!”
…
As if it had been arranged in advance, Gamsahurdia’s speech had just ended, and the Georgians were still immersed in his illusion that “Georgia belongs to Georgians!” In less than ten minutes, a serious explosion occurred in the crowded waiting hall of Tbilisi Central Railway Station.
The bomb was placed in a huge suitcase. When the explosion occurred, more than 20 Georgians were killed on the spot and nearly 100 people were injured. After the explosion, people found a condemnation book signed by the Abkhaz Truth Society near the suitcase, condemning Georgians for plundering the territory of Abkhazia and persecuting the Abkhaz nation.
This incident ignited the anger of Georgians like adding fuel to the fire, and they soon gathered in the central square of Tbilisi to express their dissatisfaction with the Georgian central government. As the crowd increased, the situation gradually became uncontrollable. Fearing serious consequences, Patti Ashvili urgently mobilized a large number of police officers to the square in front of the Georgian Central Government to maintain order. He also hurriedly left home and rushed to the scene immediately, shouting to the gathered Georgians, urging them to calm down and wait patiently for the government’s investigation.
It is a pity that Patti Ashvili has almost no prestige in Georgia. The people here treat him as air, and no one pays any attention to him. The opposition at the scene did not even bother to talk to Patti Ashvili. They chanted slogans such as “Strike the Russian Empire” and “Georgian independence”. Asked to speak directly with Shevardnadze and Gorbachev.
Soon after the incident, the news reached Sergei Sha. He learned of the incident through the channel of the “Komsomolskaya Pravda”. Sergey Shah hinted that the reporters of the “Komsomolskaya Pravda” should not listen to the rumors of the Georgian opposition, but stand firm and truly expose the opposition’s conspiracy. Sergey Shah asked the Communist Youth League Pravda to focus the report on the foreign passport of Gamsa Khurdia. Behind this incident was the conspiracy of the Western powers to destroy the Soviet Union. Seryosha now regrets it very much. He regrets that his negligence allowed Gamsahurdia to seize the opportunity. But the opportunity is not to be missed. The Abkhazian Truth Society card is no longer available. Now the Soviet government and the Georgian opposition are staring at him. Only the army has a chance to quell the riot.
After ending the phone call with the “Komsomolskaya Pravda”, Sergei hurried to Yakovlev’s house by car. When he got there, Yakovlev was frowning with the editor-in-chief of Pravda to discuss the coverage of Georgian issues. The arrival of Sergey Sha made Yakovlev had to put down his work and deal with Sergey’s affairs first.
“Secretary Yakovlev, I just heard some news from the comrades of the “Komsomolskaya Pravda”. I heard that the Americans have used the Georgian opposition to intervene in the Abkhaz issue. Our reporter heard about Gamsa. Hurdia is a traitor who holds passports from many Western countries!” Sergei asked anxiously.
“Yes, Seresa, we already know what you said! We are going to let Comrade Shevardnadze go to Tbilisi again to have a dialogue with the opposition…”
“When is the time to negotiate, you know that we have enough evidence to prove that Gamsahurdia is a spy, a traitor, and our differences with him are simply irreconcilable…” Sergei said emotionally.
“Sergey Sha, this is a matter of the Central Committee, you have your own job, just take care of your own affairs!” Yakovlev said with a grimace.
“Secretary Yakovlev, I came to you just to do my job well. The situation in Georgia has seriously affected the confidence of foreign investors in the Leningrad Special Economic Zone. If the central government can’t let this happen quickly The land is resolved, and it won’t be long before our investors will start to withdraw their capital…” Sergey retorted.
“Then what do you want?” Yakovlev heard Selesha mention the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, and finally paid attention to Selesha. The Leningrad Special Economic Zone is now Gorbachev’s economy. The last fig leaf of the reform is, and if even this sign is destroyed, then Gorbachev’s economic reforms are truly a complete failure.
“I suggest that the central government quickly mobilize elite forces to enter Georgia, quell the crisis there, and surrender the traitors!” Sai Liaosha said decisively.
“Is this bad?” Yakovlev hesitated again.
“Secretary, there is nothing wrong with it. Only stability can hold it together. Even the Thatcher government will send police to deal with strikers. The sooner this is done, the less harm it will cause. Once you continue to wait. , The consequences may be more serious. We should learn from this incident. Gamsahurdia is very good at inciting the masses and creating ethnic conflicts. If this person is not removed for a day, Georgia will be restless.” .
Yakovlev discussed with Selesha for most of the day. He dared not bear the responsibility for the failure of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, so he took Selesha to the Kremlin to meet Gorbachev. Gorbachev was as indecisive as Yakovlev ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and never dared to make up his mind. In the end, he could only ask his secretary to call all the Politburo members to make a decision together. And Selesha was waiting for the final result at Gorbachev’s office.
This temporary meeting was very efficient because there was only one topic. Because of the Red Square plane incident and the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defense has no place in the Politburo. Therefore, the current Politburo is filled with civilian officials to decide whether to send troops to quell the rebellion in Georgia. After a round of voting, the majority was in favor of sending troops, Yakovlev abstained directly, Shevardnadze voted against, while Ligachev, Ryzhkov and others voted in favor. Gorbachev finally raised his hand in favor of sending troops to Georgia after seeing the results. So the military action order to deal with the Georgian rebellion was urgently sent to the Soviet Ministry of Defense after the meeting.

In Tula, southern Moscow, Lebed, who had just put his children to sleep, was leaning on a rocking chair and smoking a pipe when the red telephone on the desk rang.
“Comrade Lebed, just received an order from the central government. Order the Tula Airborne Division to immediately go to Tbilisi to deal with the rebellion!”
“Yes!” Lebede replied.
