Soviet Godfather - v5 Chapter 291

On the afternoon when Yazov issued a military order, the armored units that arrived from Ryazan, Tula and other places entered Moscow city in a mighty manner. When those Moscow citizens who had just got off work saw this scene , All were surprised.

As soon as Sergeysha, who jumped from a height of 10,000 meters in Ukraine, made contact with Sobchak of Leningrad. The satellite phone used by Sergei Shah was very noisy due to the communication interference initiated by the Soviet Ministry of Defense. But Iridium is a satellite communications provider for the US Department of Defense. So even in this situation, Sergei Shah still conveyed the news to Sobchak that he was still alive!

Sergei heard the news from Moscow TV from Sobchak, and he quickly understood that the coup really happened! Sergei thought for a while, and immediately said like Sobchak: “Mr. Sobchak, now is an extremely urgent time. I need you to issue a statement immediately. First, explain to the domestic and foreign media that this is an illegal act. Second, from now on, the Leningrad Special Economic Zone will be separated from the control of the government represented by Yanayev. Third, I will temporarily take over everything in the Soviet Union and act as president!”

“Sergey Sha, you are not legally the successor of the President of the Soviet Union… It is illegal for you to do so!” Sobchak said worriedly.

“Don’t worry, Professor Sobchak! I’m sure these people won’t jump for too long!” Sergey hung up after speaking.

…

In the center of Moscow, in the building of the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, a large group of KGB troops departing from Dzerzhinsky Square occupied it. They rushed in angrily from outside the gate, and as soon as they entered, they controlled everyone. When did the people from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation have seen such a battle?

Kryuchkov personally led his subordinates to seal up all the documents and archives here! In addition, Pugo’s Ministry of Internal Affairs is now seizing the large multinational companies that belong to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, such as the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank and the Mediterranean Trading Company!

The KGB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Soviet government’s violent mechanism seemed to have launched a coup d’état, but due to the small range of participants, 10 hours after the coup, Yanayev and Yazov and others did not even complete Moscow’s complete control.

At this moment, Yeltsin was walking around the house anxiously in the village of Gork where the high-level of the CPSU lived. He once tried to contact Sergei Sha, but soon received a message from Sobchak. Sergei did not return to Moscow. He has just left Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, and is flying to the only safe Leningrad Special Economic Zone.

In the final analysis, if the coup d’étatists want to legitimize their actions, they must not only win the support of the international community, but also the authorization of the Supreme Soviet. Sergei’s faction is the most powerful among the Soviet Communist Party and the Supreme Soviet. All the economic power of the Soviet Union rests in the hands of Sergei Sha. Although Sergey Sha is only the Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Soviet Union, his power is actually much greater than that of the current Prime Minister Pavlov. Sergei did not go further because of his age, but within the party, Sergei entered the core Politburo. You know, even Yanayev is only a member of the Politburo.

Sergei quickly got the list of core members of this coup on the plane. They are Vice President Yanayev of the Soviet Union. This person is from a union cadre and all forces are in the union system. Although he seems to be the biggest beneficiary of this coup, Sergei knows that the core of this coup is Yazov and Kryuchkov. Pugo. The Ministry of Defense, the KGB, and the Ministry of the Interior under their leadership were the main force in launching this coup. The remaining people have not played any role yet. Bakranov is the vice-chairman of the National Defense Council, Starodubtsev is in charge of the Peasants Union, and Tijakov represents the Enterprise Union. These two alliances are almost useless under Sergei Sha’s policy of a chess game of national economy.

When Selesha’s plane landed at Leningrad Airport. At this moment, he had just stepped out of the cabin when he was surrounded by a large group of domestic and foreign media.

“Mr. Minister, how do you feel about the allegations of corruption and treason announced by the Emergency Committee…”

“Mr. Minister, do you plan to flee abroad?”

“Mr. Minister, what do you think of the Emergency Committee…”

“Do you worry about your life being threatened…”

…

Faced with various speculations from reporters, Sergey Shah made a statement at the airport at that time.

First, the behavior of the Emergency Committee is illegal~www.mtlnovel.com~ Given that Vice President Yanayev himself has betrayed the motherland, and other colleagues in the Politburo have also lost their personal freedom, now I will replace Ge. General Secretary Erbachev temporarily performed the duties of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and President of the Soviet Union.

Second, I call on all conscientious party members, comrades, comrades, peasants, and comrades in the Soviet Union to stand up bravely, defend our motherland, and act resolutely with the traitors in the form of a national political strike. Struggle.

Third, I call on all the Soviet Red Army officers and soldiers deceived by the traitors, KGB officers and soldiers, and the police of the Soviet Ministry of the Interior to immediately stop everything in their hands, stand by and stop accepting any orders from the Emergency Committee.

Sergei’s speech at the airport was quickly broadcasted by the local television station in Leningrad. Afterwards, starting from the Leningrad region, most of the media reported Sergei’s statement. Many people did not know until then that two governments had appeared in the Soviet Union overnight. The Emergency Turntable Committee in the east controlled Moscow, and the reformists headed by Ulyanov in the west controlled Leningrad.

For most officials, this coup is a difficult choice. But for ordinary people, their choice is not difficult.

Just as Sergei rushed from the airport to the Leningrad city government, thousands of ordinary people slowly gathered. They gathered on both sides of the road, holding this hand and singing the Soviet national anthem. The reporters quickly noticed this scene. When a reporter asked why he did it. Some people told reporters.

“Minister Ulyanov is a good person. We are worried that the army will catch him, so we want to protect him wherever he passes, prevent the army, police, and KGB people from attacking him…”
