007, Bloodbath in the Kremlin! The Soviet Bear is Reborn in Blood!
The high-ranking officials of the Dissolution faction immediately sensed something amiss in Konev's tone.
"What do you mean, Konev? You're just the Minister of Security."
"Heh, what? Do we, the highest echelon of the nation, need to take orders from you?"
Krim, the Minister of Industry, sneered from the side.
"You should be worrying about yourself."
"If it wasn't for Gorbachev, you wouldn't even be able to get in here, you young pup."
"Konev, I don't want to waste any more time with you. Please tell me, how much longer until the esteemed Mr. Gorbachev arrives?"
The Kremlin is adorned so grandly today, not for you.
In the eyes of these Dissolution faction members, the Alliance faction's defeat was already a foregone conclusion.
They even believed that once the time came, these Alliance members would be purged one by one.
And as for the spoils after the purge, naturally, the Dissolution faction would claim them all.
The Dissolution faction members exchanged glances.
They seemed to already see the mines, power plants, waterworks, and every large and small industrial enterprise in the country flowing into their pockets.
When that day came, one day they were the Minister of Industry, and the next they were the owners of hundreds of light and heavy factories. Naturally, they were delighted with such good fortune.
More importantly, Gorbachev had already given them the lowdown beforehand.
After the Dissolution, everyone would get their share.
And if anyone dared to object, they would be eliminated as per the usual practice.
It was precisely because of this that the Dissolution faction members had already made their plans for the Alliance members.
Once the Dissolution of the Soviet Union was complete, they would immediately strip the Alliance faction of their political voice on grounds of treason, then convict them of treason, confiscate their property, and send them to the execution grounds.
This whole process would squeeze out more wealth and power from the Alliance.
But Konev's next words left the Dissolution faction's faces pale.
"President Gorbachev won't be coming back anytime soon."
"And I'm also sorry to inform you that the Soviet Union is now under a state of emergency. All affairs are now being managed by the Economic Committee."
"This is a document signed by President Gorbachev himself."
As the Dissolution faction checked the document in astonishment, Konev continued in a tone of judgment:
"I'm well aware of what you've done before, and what you're planning to do next."
"You greedy maggots, you're all just thinking about how to bleed the Union dry."
"You talk about democracy and freedom, but in reality, you want to deceive the people, overthrow the government, and plunder the wealth they've created."
"Your fantasy of the 'New Union Integration Treaty' will never be signed."
"Abandon your delusions of dividing the Union, all of you, immediately."
"Otherwise, you will face severe consequences."
Konev's expression was calm, as if he were talking about something insignificant, or delivering a routine report.
After a brief silence in the conference room, Yakov, the Minister of Propaganda, erupted with a shrill laugh:
"Does your daddy Gorbachev know you're such a joker?"
"What, the Emergency Committee is nothing! Hahahaha!"
He laughed hysterically, completely ignoring the Alliance faction's Vice President and the others.
"I'm advising you one last time, get out right now."
"But the people you brought in, they can't leave."
"Everyone knows that freedom and democracy are the future. You guys are trying to use violence to keep other countries tied to the Soviet Union."
"You are the most evil sinners, you are turning the Soviet Union into the most backward primitive tribe on the planet!"
"Only by dissolving the Union will wealth go to where it belongs!"
"We are the most advanced and capable people in the Soviet Union, civilization is on our side, and the wealth and resources should be in our hands!"
After a brief pause, Shevardnadze, another core member of the Dissolution faction, stood up.
Shevardnadze sneered at Vice President Yanayev, then looked directly at Konev and said: "Konev, you should go find Gorbachev immediately. That's your only purpose."
After speaking, Shevardnadze continued to look down at Vice President Yanayev with disdain, saying: "Comrade Yanayev, you've always advocated for upholding this backward, dilapidated union that only brings disaster to the people."
"You and your Alliance faction are an obstacle to Soviet progress. For the future freedom and democratic development of the Soviet Union, you must stop."
"Mr. Gorbachev has signed this agreement, and the entire upper echelon of the Soviet Union will be re-elected. You are all objects to be dismissed and removed from office."
He said this, slamming a document onto the table, his eyes filled with confidence.
The way he looked at the Alliance faction members was like looking down at a stray dog with disdain.
In their eyes, Gorbachev's appointment document was the key to taking down the Alliance faction present.
But at this moment, Konev also eliminated his last psychological burden.
At first, he was worried that if he went ahead with the plan, it would be difficult to spin the narrative afterwards.
After all, no matter how you look at it, you're staining the Kremlin red.
But based on their recorded statements, they would be enough to enrage the vast majority of Soviet citizens.
And based on how deeply they've been brainwashed, there's no chance of healing them.
Let's do it!
At this moment, Foreign Minister Shevardnadze shouted: "Security! Emergency! Security!"
Several shouts later, soldiers wearing Gorbachev's security guard uniforms rushed in.
But in their hands, they held rifles that the Dissolution faction members had never seen before.
"Arrest them all!"
Minister of Propaganda Yakov waved his arms, feigning panic and shouting, "They are all traitors! They are trying to betray Gorbachev and seize power!"
"I have Gorbachev's orders here, arrest them all!"
As he shouted, the Dissolution faction members displayed sinister smiles of satisfaction.
They knew that once they arrested these people, they would be killed!
Yakov said nonchalantly, "Our President Yeltsin will soon bring the most advanced Western ideas to the Soviet Union."
"When that happens, if you're still clueless, Gorbachev won't be able to save you."
Konev calmly replied to this threat with two words: "Target."
Shhh!
The Red Alert soldier security guard team all raised their rifles, aiming at the Dissolution faction high-ranking officials in the middle.
Suddenly, the high-ranking officials were stunned.
Are these 'our dogs' going to rebel?
But the next moment, they realized that these weren't Gorbachev's people!
They were the ones being held hostage under armed control.
The Dissolution faction's previous arrogance and disdain vanished instantly, replaced by fear on their faces.
"Konev, I warn you, you are violating Soviet Union law! You are a traitor!"
"Bring Gorbachev out now! If you dare to touch us, Gorbachev will kill you!"
Konev responded with icy eyes, "To you, no, you've misunderstood."
As soon as these words came out, many members of the Dissolution faction breathed a sigh of relief.
Konev continued, "I mean, not just the Dissolution faction members present, but those outside who are assisting you, the guards you brought, and all the related personnel that the KGB intelligence agency has provided."
"There's an old saying in a neighboring country: If you don't cut the grass at the root, it will grow back when the spring wind blows."
After speaking, Konev calmly raised his hand and dropped it down, saying flatly: "Kill."
Da da da!
The Red Alert soldiers didn't hesitate to start firing at the Dissolution faction high-ranking officials in the middle.
The high-ranking officials were riddled with bullets in a state of unimaginable terror.
Bang bang bang.
At the same time, a series of fireworks erupted outside the Kremlin.
Inside the Kremlin's highest conference room, red blood splattered everywhere in the center, cries of agony intermingling with the shouts and applause of the crowd outside.
Outside the office, in the corridor, remnants running and escaping fell to the ground after being shot, filling the hundred-meter-long corridor. Blood soaked through the three-layer red cotton carpet.
In the lounge, the personal guards loyal to the Dissolution faction were all beaten to a pulp, loaded onto carts and dumped.
The red carpets in the Kremlin became even brighter.
Konev looked at the mutilated Dissolution faction members in front of him, then turned to the Alliance faction generals and said solemnly: "They paid the price of their lives to correct the Soviet Union's wrong path."
"The Soviet Union, reborn in blood!"
"Long live the Soviet Union!"
Amidst the fireworks, shouts echoed through the Kremlin, reverberating through the entire palace:
"Long live the Soviet Union!"
"Long live the Soviet Union!"
