Chapter 756 Taman Division
The second half of 1991 was nothing special for the earth, just like the billions of reincarnations before, and there was nothing special about it.
However, for humans struggling to survive on the earth, it is really a bit turbulent. The fate of human beings is like a roller coaster, so crazy that it is hard to see clearly.
On August 19, after secretly killing Soviet President Go Map, Yanayev deceived the remaining six members of the then State of Emergency Committee in an attempt to seize the supreme power of the Soviet Union.
This plot, which only appears in Hollywood movies, actually happened in reality, which really surprised many people and fell glasses all over the floor.
The subsequent plot development was even more twists and turns and exciting. Russian President Yeltsin incited Moscow citizens to oppose Yanayev's conspiracy, and the armed forces in Russia also stood on the side of "justice".
Yeltsin had an airborne corps in force, but in politics he won the support of a group of loyal maps, which seemed to have a counterattack and counting for a while.
In just one day of the coup, Yanayev's conspiracy was on the verge of bankruptcy. At the critical moment when he was heartbroken and attempted to use force to force the people to surrender with the terror of massacre, Comrade Shening, the secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, appeared in Moscow with the naval soldiers of the Pacific Fleet.
Comrade Shinin exposes Yanayev's conspiracy on the spot at the venue of the State of Emergency Committee. After learning the truth, the remaining six members of the State of Emergency Committee unanimously decided to deprive Yanayev of his position as Vice President of the Soviet Union and hand him over to court for trial.
The blinded six unanimously agreed that at the critical moment when the Soviet Union lost both the president and vice president, only the upright, brave and loyal Comrade Shening could shoulder the responsibility of leading the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union held an informal meeting and announced that Shening would take over the position of general record of Gomap.
This decision aroused strong opposition within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, in the various franchised republics and Moscow. First of all, his appointment was not completely legal. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was 17 members, and at least half of them had to support him to let Shening legally replace Go Map and become the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. However, the members of this informal meeting, including himself, only seven people.
Of course, in a short time afterwards, Lukiyanov, the chairman of the Supreme Soviet, stood up and expressed his support for this decision. In addition to Lukiyanov, Akhromeyev, who had a wide and far-reaching influence in the Soviet army, also expressed support for Sening.
The support of Kruzina, director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, was crucial to Shening, which led to him actually grasping the central position of the activities of the CPC, including all the archives, information and communication channels of the CPC.
By the 22nd, Shening had basically mastered all aspects of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Of course, this was not how powerful he was, but because Shening was not only the Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, but also received the support of Lukiyanov and Kruzina. More importantly, behind him was the support of Kruchkov, Pugo and Yazov.
With the support of the KGB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defense, the 55th Guard Division brought by the Pacific Fleet from the Pacific Fleet confronted the Tula Corps, a airborne troop that supported Yeltsin, in Moscow.
Although the top leaders of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union fell into the hands of Shinin, on the other hand, Yeltsin had also completed control of the Russian administrative power. As Yeltsin's supporters such as the Taman Infantry Division and the Kantemirovka Division began to arrive in Moscow one after another, the power comparison was gradually unbalanced.
At the same time, almost all newspapers published in Moscow tend toward Yeltsin in their position. Overwhelming accusations and even scoldings were imposed on the Soviet Union and Shening. Various conspiracy theories were prevalent, and even the KGB was facing unprecedented divisions.
The confrontation between the KGB Russian branch and Rubyanka was so serious that there was a firefight during the arrest of each other. Pugo's Minister of Internal Affairs was almost about to become the commander of the bare body, and his leadership ability over the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs was completely lost.
Judging from the situation in the entire Soviet Union, the end of the August 19th coup did not make the political situation in the fog clear. On the contrary, the August 19th incident did not seem to be an end, but just an beginning.
Moscow, Arbat Street.
This place has become the forefront of the confrontation between the 55th Guard Division and the Taman Division. The core of the "Shening Group" in Moscow is Rubyanka, while Yeltsin's lair is deployed in the White House in Moscow. The center point of the two places is the famous Arbat.
The Taman Infantry Division is indeed an elite Soviet force, and is also a die-hard supporter of Yeltsin. The famous photo of "Yelitsin's speech on tanks" is standing below the tank number 110 of the Taman Infantry Division. As the garrison and fast-resistance force in Moscow, its elite level must be at the world level.
However, no matter what kind of elite troops it is, as a violent machine, the army will always be the most expensive toy.
For Yeltsin, he could get the support of the army through various promises and personal bribes to the chief officer. However, he had no extra money to start the gold-swallowing beast.
At the forefront of this confrontation, the contrast between the two armies is clear.
The T-64 muzzle of the Taman Infantry Division was raised high, as if it was arrogant. However, the soldiers who operated these war machines were dejected. The military uniforms they wore looked quite old and the maintenance of their weapons and equipment was not qualified. The soldiers whispered from time to time while standing guard.
On the other hand, although the 55th Guard Division had no heavy equipment, the soldiers were wearing temporary new military uniforms, and the firearms and equipment flashed blue light, and the soldiers' faces were even red.
The mental outlook of the 55th Guard Division was really the sight of the soldiers of the Taman Infantry Division looking at each other.
"It's time to eat! It's time to eat!"
Wearing a white apron, the logistics "cook" who wrote "Auntie" pushed the stainless steel dining truck out of the truck. The bucket lid of the giant insulation bucket was lifted, and a rich smell of stewed beef from potatoes suddenly floated out.
The soldiers of the 55th Guard Division who were standing guard left a squad, and the rest lined up in a row, holding lunch boxes in their hands and began to collect food.
The whole wheat roasted black bread with fragrant beef stewed with potatoes can make people saliva just by thinking about it. The aroma gradually drifted from the 55th Guards Division to the side of the Taman Infantry Division, and a sound of gulp in the stomach suddenly sounded.
"These bastards can actually eat beef stewed with potatoes!"
The food truck on the Taman Division has arrived long ago, but it can't even guarantee hot food. All it provides is a field ration that is hard to eat. The field ration of any country cannot be called delicious unless it is the British army that usually eats it.
Comparing the two hatchbacks, the soldiers of the Taman Infantry Division were swallowing their saliva and were indignant. The food standard for ordinary Soviet soldiers was 85 rubles per month. This money could make the Soviet army a trembling military force in the 1960s. However, in the 1990s, the food standard of the Soviet army still did not change much, but the same food standard is now even a bowl of red cabbage soup.
Not to mention beef stewed with potatoes, the Taman Infantry Division's garrison troops cannot get any good things to smuggle. There is a little money of 85 rubles, so I can't even see a piece of pork on weekdays.
"Look at what, you guys who support separatism!"
The soldiers of the 55th Guard Division, who had received the food, walked over with the lunch box proudly and shouted provocatively: "You are so listless, you must lower the gun when shooting, otherwise the recoil will rush you!"
"You are so terrifying like this, you deserve to be called Taman Master!" Someone from the 55th Guards Division pointed at the back, and it seemed to be whispering, but in fact, everyone wanted to hear it: "I heard that Taman Master is popular now in wearing briefs. Why? Because briefs can be worn twelve times!"
"Haha, is there such a thing?" An unscrupulous laughter broke out among the soldiers of the 55th Guard Division.
The soldier at the beginning knocked on the lunch box in his hand and sneered, "You must be free, okay, what a wonderful thing. But we would rather have potatoes and beef stewed, so please let you free soldiers go hungry first. Sorry, on the road to communism, we will take a step first!"
The military supplies of the 55th Guard Division were guaranteed to be the accounts of the Pacific Fleet. In recent years, just engaged in Sino-Soviet "trade", the Pacific Fleet has been fed up and down, inside and outside. In terms of mental state alone, no unit in the Soviet army can be compared.
Although eating cannot completely determine the combat effectiveness of the troops, poor eating will definitely have a serious impact on the combat effectiveness of the army. The military leaders of the Pacific Fleet also know how their good life came about, and maintaining combat effectiveness can be said to be a dedication. I have never been lenient in spending money to buy military morale.
After a while, the soldiers under the Pacific Fleet and other Soviet troops completely opened up. Not only did they have no problem of unstable morale, but they were rather arrogant and arrogant.
"Bah!" Another soldier next to him couldn't help but walk over and spit out: "Taman Division? Do you remember what mission you had to enter Moscow in 1953? What you are doing now is worthy of the red flag you have been fighting! I am the Soviet Red Army, one of the greatest and most powerful army, where are you!"
"The only thing you can get is eternal shame!"
