    On February 21, in the square in front of the Romanian Communist Party headquarters in Bucharest, Romania, nearly 100,000 people gathered here to participate in a rally. When Ceausescu saw the dark crowd standing there, he did not feel any difference at all.  Still immersed in the idea that he is the heart and soul of this country, and that all Romanians should follow his lead.

    Many politicians made immortal achievements when they were young and middle-aged, but when they entered old age, they became dim and self-willed, ruining the career they had worked hard for in the first half of their lives.  There are countless examples, and there is no need to give specific examples. Ceausescu is obviously such a person.

    As the second generation leader of Romania, after taking over, Ceausescu first vindicated unjust, false and wrongful convictions, removed and criticized the personal superstition of Georgiou Dezhi. This series of actions allowed him to unite the hearts of the party and the people, and successfully  Establish his personal prestige.  In terms of economic construction, during the Ceausescu administration, three five-year plans were formulated and completed. Romania entered its golden period of development, transforming from a typical agricultural country with underdeveloped industry and backward agriculture.  An industrial-agricultural country with strong industry and socialist agriculture in the process of comprehensive modernization.

    However, there were some deviations in this process. For example, like many socialist Eastern European countries, Romania paid more attention to the development of heavy industry and neglected civilian light industry, resulting in unbalanced industrial development; during the period of economic problems, Ceausescu  Not only did they not find ways to carry out reforms and improvements, they actually asked all Romanians to "tighten their belts and live a life". When they could not meet the needs of their own people, they restricted imports and exported a large number of various products abroad to repay foreign debts.

    The decline in living standards directly led to the decline in Romanians' trust and favorability towards the Ceausescu regime, and also laid the most direct foreshadowing for future changes.

    Ceausescu, who had reached a certain stage of obscurity, did not realize that there had been an organization conspiring against him in the Romanian Communist Party, nor did he realize that the West had used huge power to infiltrate Romania to overthrow him, nor did he realize that  As a CP leader, he is separated from the masses, and the masses can no longer tolerate him and want to get rid of him.

    He looked at some unsettled Romanians under the podium. He didn¡¯t think they were angry and dissatisfied. Instead, he thought they were excited because they saw an ¡°omnipotent¡± leader.

    "My dear Romanian compatriots, my loyal and trustworthy Romanian comrades, we must always be wary of the conspiracy of dirty and despicable hostile forces in the West. What happened in Timisoara is anything but simple.  Yes, there are people who want to destroy our socialist country and question the leadership of our excellent government and the Romanian Communist Party. We will never agree. Everyone can see clearly that a small number of saboteurs and thugs, with the connivance of the West,  Continuously causing trouble and attacking the government have seriously affected our social security and national stability. We must not tolerate such bad people and must strike hard to crush them to ashes," Ceausescu said enthusiastically  His own opinion, and he takes it for granted that his speech can make everyone stand in the same position as him, that is, the Timisoara incident is characterized as a negative riot, and it is necessary for the authorities to use all means to control the situation  live.

    But Ceausescu is not Yuri, and it is impossible to force others to accept his ideas.  The Timisoara incident was fermented and exaggerated by Western public opinion, and coupled with the Romanian media's booing without knowing whether it was true or false, it finally seemed to ignite the anger in the hearts of all Romanians.  People have already determined the incident in their minds, that is, the authorities brutally and bloodyly suppressed the demonstrators, causing a large number of casualties.  What is the use of a government that does not protect its own people but instead wants to massacre them?

    No one thought that there was a mastermind behind the whole incident, and no one thought that the demonstrators took violent illegal actions and attacked government facilities and were suppressed. No one thought that the number of casualties and the degree of bloodshed would be exponentially higher.  The ground enlarged.  In any case, a demonstration suppression that had countless similar incidents throughout history eventually became the trigger that pushed Ceausescu into the abyss.

    At this time, someone in the crowd in the back row set off firecrackers. The highly nervous secret police thought it was a criminal who intended to assassinate the leader, and immediately shot and killed the person who set off the firecrackers. This led to a small-scale chaos at the scene, but  Ceausescu still calmly pressed his hands down, calming the situation down a little.

    But before the situation calmed down completely, a loudspeaker came out of nowhere and shouted: "The secret police shot and killed someone."

    Regardless of whether this was true or not, the crowd couldn't really see what was happening behind them, so when they heard the news that the police started killing people, everyone panicked, and many people were at a loss and didn't know what to do.  And it was at this time that some students and ordinary citizens suddenly shouted against Ceauses.?. Slogans calling for the resignation of the Communist Party of Romania and the end of the dictatorship, and some shouting to avenge the victims of Timisoara. The people who were already quite resentful followed this trend and almost listened to it within a few minutes.  Ceausescu's speech turned into a demonstration against Ceausescu and the Romanian Communist Party.

    When Ceausescu noticed that something was wrong, he immediately stopped the event and left the scene under the protection of his closest associates.

    This scene was also captured by the live camera, and was broadcast to the whole of Romania simultaneously. When ordinary Romanians saw the Bucharest people shouting slogans for Ceausescu to step down, the effect of the entire revolution became even better. People  He began to sympathize with the victims of Timisoara, and began to accuse Ceausescu of being unscrupulous and tyrannical. At this point, the atmosphere was settled.

    "These damn mobs, these brainless idiots" Ceausescu still couldn't calm down his anger when he returned to his official residence. This occasion that was originally meant to express support for himself quickly turned into a demonstration against him.  Ceausescu has never encountered this situation in the decades he has been in power. In addition, he is old and comatose and can no longer make any correct choices.

    "Where's the coal pusher from Milia? Give him an order to send out the army immediately to drive away this mob that knows nothing about the sky and the earth."

    Ceausescu's wife and Romania's first deputy prime minister, Elena Ceausescu, said: "These mobs are stubborn and determined. I am afraid that just dispersing them will not be able to effectively deter Xiaoxiao." A successful man  Behind a mediocre man there is often a great woman, and behind a mediocre man there is often an evil and sinister woman.

    Ceausescu's eyes turned cold and he said: "Well, if someone disobeys the order, ask Milia to shoot them directly. My country does not need such disobedient people."

    Ceausescu's order was sent to Defense Minister Vasily Millia. This Defense Minister enjoyed relatively high prestige in the military, but when he had a disagreement with Ceausescu, Ceausescu would even publicly call him  "Coal pushers" lack basic respect.

    At this juncture, Milia was shocked when he received Ceausescu's order. He directly threw the order aside and replied: "I cannot execute such an order. Our people's army is to protect the people, not to suppress them."  of"

    Ceausescu¡¯s men said angrily: ¡°Those people are doing this, they are clearly mobs, and they should be wiped out.¡±

    Miliya said firmly: "I'm sorry, but I obey."

    Ceausescu¡¯s confidants left in anger, and Milia was also quite uneasy.  He himself is not as great and upright as he said. On the one hand, he is indeed unwilling to shoot at ordinary demonstrators. On the other hand, if he does so, Ceausescu will still not like him and may have to kill him afterwards.  Pull him out to top the tank, saying that all this was his own will, and denying that the order came from him.  Miliya is not stupid at all. He knows that if he does not accept this order, he may die, but if he accepts this order, not only will he die, but his reputation will also be ruined. In this case, he should die more gloriously.

    When the news came back to Ceausescu, Ceausescu was not only furious, but also a little frightened, because today's events made him feel that everything was out of his control, and the people who originally supported him became  Enemies, people who originally obeyed his orders directly disobeyed him.

    "No, I want them to know that I am still the master of this country." Ceausescu slammed the table and immediately ordered his closest men to execute Milia. He wanted to use this resolute and tough attitude to completely shock  Live those who are disobedient and dissatisfied with him.  He has become accustomed to using fear to gain authority, but he doesn't know that when things go to the extreme, they will no longer be afraid and start making a last-ditch effort to prevent that tragic situation.

    When Ceausescu¡¯s men arrived at the Ministry of Defense, the building was already deserted, and Defense Minister Miliya was nowhere to be found.  At this time, even these loyal lackeys of Ceausescu smelled something not right and became a little worried.

    In the original history, Millia committed suicide in a dilemma, and his family accused Ceausescu of executing him.  Later, after investigation, it was believed that he committed suicide with the attendant's pistol, but there were still many doubts.  The Strategic Bureau in this plane had already arranged a series of measures. After Miliya rejected Ceausescu, Nicolai sent agents lurking in the Ministry of Defense to rescue Miliya.

    Although Milia did not join the Patriotic Front, after he refused Ceausescu's order to suppress, he became a very useful chess piece that must be properly preserved and won.  Milia didn't know who rescued him, but he was even more worried about the future of Romania.
