Chapter 222: Pushing Georgia

"Severely punish the bombing murderer!"

"Give me the truth, and give me my compatriots!"

"The Soviets cannot shelter criminals!"

“Georgia belongs to Georgians!”

...

Just as it was arranged in advance, Gamsahurdiah's speech had just ended, and the Georgians were still immersed in the fantasy he proposed that "Georgia belongs to Georgians!" In less than ten minutes, a serious explosion occurred in the waiting hall of the Tbilisi Central Railway Station.

The bomb was placed in a huge suitcase. After the explosion, more than 20 Georgians were killed and nearly 100 were injured. After the explosion, people found a letter of condemnation signed by the Abkhazi Society of Truth at the door of the suitcase, denying the Georgians' plunder of Abkhazi territory and persecution of the Abkhazi nation.

The incident ignited the anger of the Georgians as if they were adding fuel to the fire. They soon gathered in the central square of Tbilisi to express their dissatisfaction to the Georgian central government. As the crowd increased, the situation gradually became uncontrollable. Padiashviri was afraid of causing serious consequences, so he rushed to the square in front of the central government of Georgia to maintain order. He also hurriedly left his home and arrived at the scene as soon as possible, calling on the gathering Georgians, calling on them to calm down and wait patiently for the government's investigation.

Unfortunately, Pati Asheviri had almost no prestige in Georgia. The people here treated him as air and no one paid any attention to him. The opposition parties present disdained to talk to Pati Asheviri. They shouted slogans such as "To the Russian Empire" and "Georgia's independence". They demanded a direct dialogue with Shevaldnaze and Gorbachev.

Shortly after the incident, the news reached Seriosha's ears. He learned about this from the channels of the "Journal of the Communist Youth League". Seriosha hinted that the reporters of the "Journal of the Communist Youth League" should not believe the rumors of the Georgian opposition, stand firm, and truly expose the opposition's conspiracy. Seriosha asked the "Journal of the Communist Youth League" to focus the report on Gamsahurdia's foreign passport. Behind this incident was the conspiracy of Western forces to destroy the Soviet Union. Seriosha is very regretful now. He regrets that his negligence made Gamsahurdia seize the opportunity. But the opportunity must not be missed. The card of the Abkhazia Truth Society cannot be used. Now the Soviet government and the Georgian opposition are staring at him. Only the army has the opportunity to calm the riot for the present plan.

After finishing the call with the Communist Youth League, Selyosha quickly took a bus to Yakovlev's home. When he got there, Yakovlev was discussing the report on the Georgian issue with the editor-in-chief of Pravda. Selyosha's arrival forced Yakovlev to put down his work and deal with the matter on Selyosha first.

"Secretary Yakovlev, I just heard some news from the comrades of the Communist Youth League Pravda. I heard that the Americans intervened in the Abkhazi issue with the help of the Georgian opposition. Our reporter heard that Gamsahurdia held a passport from many Western countries and was simply a traitor!" Selyosha asked anxiously.

"Yes, Seriosha, we already know what you said! We are going to let Comrade Shevardnaze go to Tbilisi again and have a dialogue with the opposition..."

"It's time to negotiate, you know we have enough evidence to prove that Gamsahurdia is a spy and a traitor, and the differences between us and him are simply irreconcilable..." Selyosha said emotionally.

"Seryosha, this is the central government's business. If you have your own job, just take care of your own affairs!" Yakovlev said with a dissatisfaction.

"Secretary Yakovlev, I came to you just to do my own work. The Georgia incident has seriously affected the confidence of foreign investors in the Leningrad Special Economic Zone. If the central government cannot solve this matter quickly, it will not take long before our investors will start to withdraw their investment..." Seryosha retorted.

"What do you want?" Yakovlev heard Seriosha mention the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, and finally took it seriously. Leningrad Special Economic Zone is now the last fig leaf for Gorbachev's economic reform. If even this sign is destroyed, then Gorbachev's economic reform will be a complete failure.

"I suggest that the central government quickly mobilize elite forces to enter Georgia, calm the crisis there, and clear the traitors!" Seriosha said firmly.

"Isn't this good?" Yakovlev hesitated again.

"Secretary, there is nothing wrong with it. Only stability can be suppressed together. Even the Thatcher government will send police to deal with the strikers. The earlier this matter is done, the less harm it will cause. Once we continue to wait, the more serious the consequences may be. We should learn from this lesson in this matter. Gamsahurtia is very good at inciting the masses and creating ethnic conflicts. If this person is not eliminated for a day, Georgia will be unstable for a day." Seriosha said gritting his teeth.

Yakovlev and Seriosha discussed for most of the day, and he did not dare to bear the responsibility for the failure of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, so he took Seriosha to the Kremlin to meet Gorbachev. Gorbachev was like Yakovlev. He never dared to make up his mind. In the end, he could only ask his secretary to call all the members of the Politburo to make the decision. Seriosha was in Gorbachev's company and waited for the final result.

This temporary meeting was very efficient because there was only one issue. Due to the Red Square aircraft incident and the withdrawal of Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defense no longer had a seat in the Politburo. Therefore, the current Politburo has civil servants to decide whether to send troops to quell the rebellion in Georgia. After a round of votes, the majority of those who agreed to send troops were directly abstained. Yakovlev directly abstained, Shevardnaze voted against, and Ligachev, Rezhkov and others voted in favor. Gorbachev finally raised his hand to the Soviet Ministry of Defense after seeing the result. So the order to deal with the Georgian rebellion was urgently sent to the Soviet Ministry of Defense after the meeting.

...

Tula, a city in southern Moscow, was leaning against a rocking chair and smoking a pipe when the red telephone on the desk rang.

"Comrade Lebed, just received the order from the Central Committee. The Tula Airborne Division was ordered to set sail immediately and rush to Tbilisi to deal with the rebellion!"
