    The wisteria villa built for several leaders of the Soviet Communist Party on the Crimean Peninsula. Gorbachev, who was originally in a happy mood, was so angry that he found someone to tidy up his shape, and was ready to leave this summer resort with pleasant scenery and comfortable climate and set off.  He returned to Moscow because he had a big business on his hands.  [. first release]

    "Why did I have to wait until the Americans came to mediate to realize that the Soviet land had been trampled by the Chinese, and then I realized that thousands of our alliance soldiers had become prisoners of the Chinese in humiliation!" Ge  Shi shook his chubby hand and wanted to throw away a porcelain cup in his hand, but then he thought about it and thought it was his favorite cup, so he still didn't do it.

    ?????????? In fact, in addition to anger, the other emotion in Map Head¡¯s heart at this moment is fear.  One good summer, he took a break from the busy schedule in Moscow and came to Crimea, a wonderful summer resort. The light sea breeze surrounded his wisteria villa, and there was a waitress in a one-piece swimsuit (no bikini) by the pool. He was okay.  Enjoy special supplies imported from the entire Soviet Union and even abroad, such as cigars, cigarettes, truffles and caviar, famous watches, luxury suits, etc. Things that cannot be openly exposed in Moscow.

    Gorbachev couldn't believe it. He had only been away for a while, but he seemed like a stupid superior who was directly ignored by his subordinates. A major event like the border war between China and the Soviet Union was actually covered up tightly.  Seriously, not only is everything calm internationally, people are either paying attention to the World Cup football match, or taking a look at the Eureka Project Conference on European Science and Technology Development held in London.  Even at home, no Soviet person knew that tens of thousands of their soldiers were defeated by the enemy. The Chinese corps moved in and out of the Soviet land as if they were in their own backyard. Thousands of loyal and courageous Soviet defenders became prisoners.

    At this time, nearly two days have passed since Solinsky¡¯s troops entered the Chinese border and began to snatch the spacecraft fragments. Many things have happened in these two days, which is overwhelming.  But at such a critical moment, some people in Moscow were so brave that they suppressed the matter, hiding it from Gorbachev himself, and even the U.S. Embassy in the Soviet Union requested an emergency dialogue and talks before letting it out for a while.

    "Is this still my country?" Gorbachev was wary. He came to power with shortcomings such as a shallow foundation. Many party bosses did not buy his fight. Local and departmental leaders were used to it.  In order to have his own way and dictate, everyone wants to reap benefits from Gorbachev's new thinking, but not many people are really loyal to Gorbachev.

    The more he thought about this, the more frightened Gorbachev became. He abandoned his wisteria villa without hesitation, abandoned the hairy waiter in a one-piece swimsuit, and returned to Moscow urgently with his staff.

    Before Gorbachev returned to Moscow, he made an urgent call to the commander of the Moscow Military District, Arkhipov.

    "Comrade General Arkhipov, I know that there is an undercurrent hidden under the calm waters of Moscow, and this undercurrent is very likely to threaten the great Soviet Union. At this critical moment, I am loyal and strong.  Comrade Commander Qian, are you willing to follow me and scare the scumbags under the Pinghu River and restore real peace to the Soviet Union?"

    Any one-party country may have more internal chaos than a multi-party system, but everyone just wears a party emblem.  In particular, the military is often prone to splitting into various factions due to politicization. The reason why Arkhipov is able to sit in the most important Moscow Military District is inseparable from his correct alignment, timely expression of loyalty, and political opposition.

    So Arkhipov replied without hesitation to Comrade General Secretary: "Comrade Gorbachev, please rest assured that the guns of the Moscow Military District have always followed the orders of the Party Central Committee, that is, you."

    Gorbachev is somewhat relieved that the Moscow Military District is the only military unit where he can exert influence, and it is also the most critical place.  He thought for a while and said: "Comrade Arkhipov, I believe you already understand the situation on the front line. Please use your professional military capabilities to suggest to me what we should do."

    On the phone, the general was silent for twenty seconds, which made Gorbachev a little anxious. After a long time, Arkhipov said: "According to the latest situation, the Chinese ** team has eaten one of our tank divisions.  , after severely damaging one of our military-level units on the front line, they have begun to retreat and set up a defense line at Alashankou on the border. It seems that they will not make any further excessive moves"

    Gorbachev interrupted him and said: "Comrade Commander, you mean we just let it go?"

    Arkhipov denied: "Of course not, but Comrade General Secretary, do you want to see a full-scale war with China, a nuclear war that may even involve the United States and NATO? Your reform plan?What should you do? Will the conservatives who oppose you use war to reduce your power?  "

    This time, it was Gorbachev¡¯s turn to remain silent. The New Thinking Movement he carried out was inherently difficult, faced challenges from all aspects of vested interests, and was also subject to great criticism.  Arkhipov's words opened up a new direction for him. He was not Joseph Stalin during World War II. His prestige was not enough to overwhelm the entire alliance. Once the war broke out and he suffered an early military defeat, a large number of  The conservatives will catch up and bite him like a shark that smells fishy smell, until they eat up all their bones and flesh.

    Gorbachev will never hand over power, so anything that may threaten his power must be avoided.

    Arkhipov added: "Another troublesome thing is that we don't understand at all how far China's military technology has developed. According to intelligence, the size of their troops fighting on the border is much smaller than ours. But except for the beginning,  China has almost won every battle. From the overwhelming superiority of the air force, to their electromagnetic control capabilities, to even the army's terrifying firepower and advanced armored vehicles, in almost every aspect, the Chinese have demonstrated superior combat power.  The strength of our Central Asian Military District and Turkestan Military District is really incredible.¡±

    Gorbachev couldn¡¯t help but nodded, ¡°Indeed, we should have a better understanding of the Chinese people¡¯s background.¡±

    Then he said with some reluctance: "A military defeat on such a scale will probably have a great impact on the reputation of our Soviet Union!"

    But Arkhipov said slyly: "Comrade General Secretary, if we don't say it, the Chinese won't say it, and the Americans won't say it either. Who knows?"

    Gorbachev patted his forehead, narrowed his eyes, and said, "That's right. Well, but we can't hold back at the negotiating table."

    Arkhipov said knowingly: "This is not my area of ??expertise. You need to consult other comrades."

    "I understand, Comrade General Arkhipov, I will remember your loyalty. After this incident, I am afraid that some seats will be vacant. Which seats are you interested in? Please be sure to tell me later.  "

    "Haha, thank you very much, Comrade General Secretary."

    After hanging up the phone, Gorbachev sat on the special plane and fell into deep thought again.  He is not a real idiot, so he naturally has some skills.  But he knew that because of the stupid failure of the 32nd Army, their bargaining chips at the negotiation table had become extremely scarce.  On the other hand, the Chinese side grasped the cause of the conflict - the spacecraft fragments, achieved military success, and captured thousands of Soviet soldiers.  From an external perspective, China is a quasi-NATO alliance, and the United States will definitely support China's position as much as possible.

    He took out a piece of paper and began to outline his bottom line and plan for diplomacy.

    "Squeeze China's benefits to the maximum extent, and if possible, let them spit out some of the fragments of Naraushi's spacecraft." Gorbachev wrote, "The largest and most effective weapon that can intimidate China is naturally nuclear weapons. We will not hesitate to use nuclear weapons."  To achieve our goals through intimidation.¡±

    He wrote for a while, feeling upset because some of the words seemed ridiculous to him.  What also bothers him is that he cannot control the situation in Central Asia. If the people below continue to act on their own, it is very likely that Moscow will be trapped in a more difficult and embarrassing situation.

    Gorbachev threw down his pen, leaned on the back of his seat, straightened up again, grabbed his pen and wrote three names in Cyrillic letters on another piece of paper - Aliyev, Sokolov, Chebriko  husband.

    "The deputy secretary of the party, the minister of defense, and the head of the KGB, all key figures in the Communist Party, actually betrayed me? What kind of intentions did they have, and why were they so reckless in this matter?  Is there any inside story that I don't know about?" Gorbachev was irritated. He was not exactly an emperor in Moscow. He still had a group of subordinates and forces of his own. When he wanted to know, the instigator immediately came to him.  Can surface.

    It¡¯s just that the specifications of these three people behind the scenes were a bit too high, so shocking that Gorbachev was troubled.

    "They must be removed. Only when this force is eliminated in Moscow can I truly grasp the supreme power of the alliance and effectively promote my reform principles and policies!" Gorbachev is already in a high position.  For all politicians, historical positioning is very important. What they accomplish and leave a mark in history is what they pursue most.

    Gorbachev found it extremely difficult to take down this small group because the KGB secret police were involved. Chebrikov had this power and could backfire on him at any time.  Gorbachev did not want to use Arkhipov's military power until the last step.Let's do some sort of counter-insurgency operation.  .
