Piaotian Literature Chapter 293 Different experiences [first update]
"Since the East China Sea Fleet has been dispatched, we must get things done this time, otherwise we will be embarrassed to see people!" After Zhang San sighed with emotion, he started to worry about gains and losses. "" novel netizens hand-made
Ye Kai immediately laughed, "If it's really embarrassing, I'll be the one to bear it."
Although he said that, Ye Kai didn't think it would be embarrassing, especially when he came here this time with multiple tasks. Picking up a nuclear submarine was one of them, but he took advantage of the depreciation of the ruble to make a big fuss and acquired the Russian
The energy industry is the main event later.
"Second Young Master, take a rest first. I'll go contact Major Bute with the people at the shipyard and try to go there and have a look as soon as possible." Zhang San said to Ye Kai.
"Yeah." Ye Kai nodded, and he did feel a little tired.
He has been busy with a lot of things recently. Although he is in good physical condition, he is still under a lot of psychological pressure, so his sleep requirements are also relatively high.
Immediately after Zhang San, Ye Kai ate some red cabbage soup, a few pieces of smoked fish and bread, and then rested early.
In the middle of the night, Ye Kai felt a chill. When he woke up, he found that it was a little cold inside the house. It turned out that the heating here had been stopped at some point. The temperature was very low these days. For people like them living in a temperate zone,
For people living in this climate, it is indeed a bit uncomfortable.
Ye Kai covered himself with another layer of quilt and then continued to sleep.
Later, I heard gunshots and some noisy sounds. When I opened one eye, I could vaguely see the distant firelight through the floor-to-ceiling window screen.
Moscow is indeed not very stable!
This time I slept until ten o'clock in the morning. The naval officers and soldiers who came in the same batch all lived in different places, so there was no direct contact with Ye Kai. Their communication work was done by Zhang San
It is controlled by others, this is also to better protect Ye Kai.
Although Russia's national security forces have been weakened to a certain extent and there is also a certain degree of chaos, their strength cannot be underestimated. Therefore, the military is very concerned about Ye Kai's security issues and has made some arrangements.
After Ye Kai washed up and had lunch, Zhang San hadn't come over yet, so Ye Kai opened some newspapers and periodicals provided by the hotel and read. Many of the contents were descriptions of the 819 incident last year.
Surprisingly, many of them are in Chinese, probably to let guests understand the truth of the incident.
What surprised Ye Kai even more was that this documentary was actually written by a Chinese, and he was a foreign correspondent at the time.
In the early morning of August 19, 1991, the bureau chief hurriedly called the sleeping reporters up for a meeting, saying that a long-distance call from the capital informed that Gorbachev had "stepped aside" and that the "Emergency Committee" had begun to exercise its power. They said
After being shocked, they quickly assigned the interview task. Five minutes later, everyone drove a car towards the center of Moscow.
Before their car had driven 1 kilometer, they saw an armored vehicle and a military truck full of soldiers parked in front of them. The reporter got out of the car and asked the officer sitting in the car why he came to Moscow.
The officer only said "Perform the mission", then turned his head and ignored them.
As their car continued to drive toward the city center, something strange happened. Not only did they not see any military vehicles along the way, but there were also very few pedestrians.
When they arrived at Red Square, the atmosphere was as calm as usual, as if they had lost touch with the current situation. They randomly asked a few tourists, all of whom were traveling from other places, and they said they had not heard any news and did not know about the "state of emergency."
What thing.
A few minutes later, they rushed to the White House, the seat of the Supreme Soviet, arriving ahead of the coup troops.
They went to ask the guard guarding the White House gate, and found that the guard was still dozing there and had no idea what to say. The two key locations of the Army Headquarters and the Department of Defense were also surprisingly calm.
When they rushed to the Kremlin, they saw that more than a dozen armored personnel carriers had arrived, and the military vehicle numbers printed on each armored vehicle were all covered with blue carbon paper.
Later, many ordinary people rushed out, surrounded each military vehicle, and kept shouting and cursing at the soldiers on the military vehicles. The sheets of carbon paper covering the vehicle numbers were quickly removed and thrown all over the floor.
The scene was very chaotic.
The movement of military vehicles of the coup forces was blocked, but at this time a car drove leisurely into the White House. It was later discovered that this was Yeltsin's motorcade.
At that time, they felt very strange. Since it was a coup, Yeltsin and his gang should have been arrested long ago. How could they watch them walk into the White House and then organize a counterattack against them?
Then I heard a joint statement issued in the name of Russian Federation President Yeltsin, Vice President Rutskoi, Speaker Khasbulatov and Prime Minister Silayev calling on the people to oppose the military coup from the loudspeaker on Red Square.
, defend the democratic regime.
In the early morning of August 20, the end of Kutuzov Street, between the White House and the Embassy of the Republic, was blocked by a roadblock. Outside the roadblock were seven T-72 tanks of the Taman Motorized Rifle Division of the rapid reaction force.
The intersections leading to the Red Square Kremlin and Nerima Hall Square have been blocked by the army. The south exit of Red Square is blocked by iron railings and police cars. At the Moskva River bridge 100 meters away, seven T-80 tanks are parked with ammunition.
One car and one tanker truck each.
But reporters felt that something was wrong. This did not look like a coup, but it looked like an attempt to defend Yeltsin.
The muzzle of the tank was not pointed in the direction of Yeltsin's office, but in the opposite direction.
The tank had a red, white and blue tricolor flag instead of the sickle and hammer flag. They asked the soldiers on the tank what was going on?
The soldiers told reporters that Major General Lebed had led them to change their flag last night, and now they were only loyal to Yeltsin.
A middle-aged female teacher jumped off the tank and told reporters that at 10 o'clock last night, Major Agaev led 5 tanks to Yeltsin's side. At 6 o'clock this morning, another 50 tanks from the Taman Division defected.
.
The reporter then asked several tank soldiers, and they all confirmed the above situation.
Around the White House, there were several tanks, dozens of infantry fighting vehicles, armored vehicles and military trucks parked.
The soldiers and the Moscow girls sat side by side on the tank, talking and laughing. The girls wore soldiers' military coats and put flowers on the muzzle of the tank.
Citizens and foreign reporters continued to send cigarettes, ice cream and canned foreign beer to the soldiers. At that time, it was a rare treat to drink canned foreign beer.
A young man saw that they were foreign reporters, so he led the reporters to climb up the wall near the White House. He saw that everything was normal inside the White House. The bread in the yard was piled like a hill. These breads were made by many people who were worried about the White House.
Citizens who ran out of food were thrown in through the wall, which shows the support of the people.
In front of the Moscow City Hall building on Gorky Street, leaflets and slogans calling for "indefinite strikes until the collapse of the military government" are plastered everywhere on the walls and telephone poles. Most of the content is about spreading military defections, foreign denunciation of the emergency committee, etc.
rumor.
On Pushkin Square, only one McDonald's fast food restaurant was still open. Customers lined up in a queue of 200 to 300 meters long. There were also more customers than usual in other food stores. People who were full of fear about the future were rushing to buy flour and eggs in large quantities.
In the TV news at 21 o'clock in the evening, the deputy director of the Soviet Army's Political Department refuted rumors that the troops had defected, but the situation took a turn for the worse and the coup troops withdrew to their base.
The reporter on duty at the branch believed that this situation was contrary to domestic predictions and was undecided whether to publish the article in China.
In the end, they decided to send the article back to China first, because this was the real situation observed by reporters on the spot, and they should report it truthfully. As for how to publish the article, it should be decided by the head office.
After this incident, reporters also learned about the Soviet Union from another side and realized that the Soviet Communist Party had lost its ability to govern. It launched a coup and established an emergency committee, with the highest-level figures in it, but the final action was
It ended in failure. To put it bluntly, in the end, I didn’t even know how to defend the political power. Thinking about it, I am filled with emotions.
After reading these documentary reports, Ye Kai also felt a little strange. He didn't know how these manuscripts became propaganda materials in Moscow hotels. Could it be that there are reporters in the branch here who are not firm?
Thinking about this possibility, there should still be some. You must know that journalists, especially those working abroad, are exposed to more things. It is inevitable that they will be affected by external forces and eventually waver in their beliefs and positions. This is a sign.
Still worth noting.
He took a notebook and wrote down his thoughts in it, planning to show it to Mr. Ye when he went back.
Although this is a small matter, it still has a big impact. Ye Kai feels that it is necessary to go back and discuss with the old man. Regarding public opinion propaganda, it still needs to be considered. Sometimes, the facts are covered up.
There is no benefit, because when the truth of a matter is concealed or distorted, and then suddenly exposed, the consequences may be very serious.
Ye Qianqi finally believed that the country did not need to deal with the disintegration of the Soviet Union in a low-key manner. Instead, it could use this as an opportunity to launch a larger-scale discussion to summarize the reasons for the failure of the Soviet Union and provide guidance for domestic economic system reform and political reform.
It should be a good thing to provide suggestions for structural reform.
He felt that some of the practices of the country's top leaders were inappropriate. They were sometimes too weak and had many weaknesses in their operating methods. On the contrary, they were more easily exploited and turned into weapons to attack the Republic.
Although the opacity of information and the blocked channels for obtaining information can fool the public in a short period of time, the adverse effects it brings are also very significant.
Before Ye Kai had finished flipping through a Chinese magazine, Zhang San had already arrived.
