USSR 1991

The Allah Front in Lebanon, formed in 1983, initially focused on resisting the occupation of Lebanon by Israel and Syria.Leader Rafik Ehud has long led militants to operate in the Zahle area and used terrorist attacks to create chaos.Recently, in response to Soviet General Secretary Yanayev's support for Syria's actions in the Middle East, he decided to declare war on the Soviet Union, create terrorist attacks, and punish these enemies of the Islamic world.

"Have we got in touch with these guys who died now?" Tenet asked coldly.He really didn't expect that there were still people in Lebanon who dared to attack the Soviet Consulate in Lebanon. Isn't the bloody lesson in 1985 not profound enough?

"I think this operation should be reported to Director Tenet first. Although the CIA did not directly intervene, but..." Brennan looked around and said in a low voice, "but this is equivalent to directly declaring war on the Soviet Union. After all, We secretly support each other behind our backs."

"There is no need for any scruples to act directly. As long as we do not directly intervene in their operational planning and use middlemen to provide weapons for the Allah Front. The enemy of the enemy is our friend."

Tenet also gave Brennan an explanation, "The higher-ups now only want to see a victory, even if it makes the Soviet Union suffer a little bit in Lebanon. This is our secret revenge for the Romanian incident. Let them Let's go to the trouble in the Middle East."

"And what about the Allah Front?" Brennan hesitated, wondering what would happen to the exploited waste.The whole world knows the Soviet Union's attitude towards the disobedient Muslin in the country.At the beginning, those who tried to rebel in the Caucasus were all sent to the gas chamber, and the Middle Eastern refugees who wanted to enter the Soviet Union were killed directly on the border.Even President Mario declared in private that communism may be the only powerful political party that can stop the cancer from spreading.

Tenet made an obliterating gesture, "Of course we will throw them out as discarded children after the matter is completed. The most important thing is that we have to make the other party look like the Islamic world's resistance to the Middle East. It has nothing to do with us. It is our task to create a crisis in Moscow, as for the outcome of the abandoned son?"

Tenet turned his head and said to Brennan in a cold voice, "Isn't there still a few chess pieces that the CIA has abandoned?"

Brennan bowed his head and said nothing.

Tenet sighed, "Director Brennan is also someone who has always taken tough measures on the Middle East issue. Now the power of the KGB is expanding rapidly. If we don't take any measures, sooner or later we will face the worst. situation."

"The Middle East is just an outpost, and we will sound the horn of war in Eastern Europe next."

"After losing for so many years, it's time to resist."

After explaining the task, Tenet left Brennan and walked out of Langley's office. There was still a hearing in Congress waiting for him. In his eyes, these endless bureaucratic meetings were simply delaying work. The culprit of efficiency.

Brennan looked at the back of his new boss with mixed emotions.Although he didn't know what Tenet meant by resistance, he had a hunch that the silent chief was planning a terrible conspiracy.

Chapter 795 General Secretary's Anger

The KGB-backed bombing of the Bucharest police station put a lot of pressure on Constantinescu's government, which they saw as a declaration of war on the government.The Romanian Congress also began to put pressure on Constantinescu. As Romania's leading opposition party, the criticism from the Social Democratic Party made the democratic agreement feel overwhelmed.

Kryuchkov sat in his office processing documents, and he waited for the final triumph.According to speculation, in at most three weeks, the Romanian parliament will call Constantinescu for re-election.

Whether Romania wins or loses next depends on whether Constantinescu can withstand this wave of pressure, but Kryuchkov has not waited for the surrender of the Romanian government before he ushered in a sad news.

The dedicated line rang, and Kryuchkov subconsciously picked up the phone without saying hello, but the news from the other end of the phone made him change his face instantly.

The director of the Foreign Intelligence Service gave Kryuchkov a bad news, "The Soviet embassy in Lebanon was attacked by unknown persons, resulting in three deaths and eight injuries. In addition, three intelligence officials were hijacked, all organized Come out and admit if they did it. And it's not clear if the same gang did the attack and the hijacking, but be prepared..."

The psychological preparation he reminded was naturally the anger of the Political Bureau of the Soviet Central Committee, especially the general secretary.This time Lebanon presented a difficult problem for the Soviets.At the same time, certain terrorist organizations also made a proposition for themselves.

"Okay, I will personally report to the General Secretary. And Comrade Belikov hopes that you can find out who did it as soon as possible. From now on, the investigation of all incidents by the Foreign Intelligence Service in Lebanon will enter a state of internal secrecy. "

"Why?" Belikov was a little puzzled. It is difficult to conceal such attacks, especially when the public needs to know the truth.

What Belikov didn't see was that KGB chairman Comrade Kryuchkov clenched the pen in his hand, and there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes, "Because the KGB hasn't punished those restless and damn Muslins in the Middle East for a long time. .”

The bloody operation in 1985 made Lebanon’s terrorist organizations stay away from the symbol of the hammer and sickle red star. If you fight only by faith, the group of Soviet soldiers holding Kalashnikovs and shouting to fight for the motherland are far more than fighting with faith in Allah The guerrillas are much more terrifying.When they were still primitive and backward tribal nomads in the desert, the Soviet Red Army had already waged a war on its own land that cost millions of lives to fill.

This is why Yanayev has always sneered at the Middle East world. Even if 4 people is a large-scale battle?The number of heroes who died in a single battle in the Soviet Union was not limited to this number.

The international status of the Soviet Union was established by the bloody battle more than 50 years ago. Do you want to establish a caliphate with slogans and suicide bombs?Muslin's stupidity doomed them not to have any foresight.

"An hour ago, there was a terrorist attack on the Soviet embassy in Lebanon. Three people died on the spot, and another eight people suffered gunshot wounds of varying degrees. Moreover, three of our diplomats were kidnapped and their whereabouts are unknown. President Yanayev Secretary, you may need to prepare."

After Kryuchkov, who walked into Yanayev's office, reported the situation to him, Yanayev fell into deep thought, then picked up the phone, dialed the assistant to the General Secretary's office, and gave an order, "Please let Puri Comrade Markov is coming to the Office of the President."

Immediately Primakov hurried to Yanayev's office, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the gloomy and stern faces of the General Secretary and the KGB Chairman.

Yanayev, who was leaning on his desk, said straight to the point, "The Lebanese embassy was attacked by terrorists, and three other people were kidnapped. The situation is unknown now. Comrade Primakov, you are an authoritative adviser on the Arab issue. I want to know more about it." The situation is, is there any involvement of the Lebanese government behind this attack?"

Primakov thought about it carefully, then shook his head, "It can only be said that the possibility of the participation of the Lebanese government is relatively small, but it cannot be completely ruled out. Because we are the supporters behind the Syrian garrison in Lebanon, and of course we will be the same as the United States. , was hostile by many dark forces."

Primakov said with a serious expression, "We even have reasons to suspect that the United States is behind the plot, and even participated in this terrorist attack, General Secretary Yanayev, you have to prepare for the worst in this matter. "

After listening to Primakov's narration, Yanayev fell into silence, and finally he replied, "How about the foreign media now? Especially Al Jazeera, they will broadcast such events as soon as possible, Right?"

Kryuchkov shook his head. "Al Jazeera hasn't broadcast the news yet."

After listening to this answer, Yanayev breathed a sigh of relief. He said to Kryuchkov, "We will broadcast this news first before Al Jazeera broadcasts it. And prepare for the press conference. We will Show the world the position and attitude of the Soviet Union on this matter."

"But this will put a lot of social pressure on us." Kryuchkov replied anxiously, "and it will also not be good for our relationship with Middle Eastern countries."

Yanayev turned his head and stopped him from continuing with a sharp look.Kryuchkov only saw that kind of look when he faced the Alpha Special Forces who refused to cooperate during the 819 coup.

"Listen to me, Comrade Kryuchkov. This is a serious provocation against the Soviet Union. These goddamn religious believers think we dare not do it on their soil. But this time, I will show them what fear is .When incendiary bombs fall from their heads, when the tracks of tanks crush the faith of believers, the Soviets will use iron and blood to suppress and bloodbath anyone who tries to stop our progress."

"One drop at a time, bone and flesh, crushed."

The first time Primakov saw Yanayev's dark eyes, especially when he said bloodbath, he knew that there would be a bloodbath in Lebanon.This is not a problem that can be solved by anyone making a statement or exerting political pressure.In front of Yanayev, there is no such word as retreat.

Either get out, or clean up with you.

He made a gesture of obliteration to Kryuchkov, "Using all resources, I will wipe out all organizations that dare to provoke the Soviet Union in any form within a week!"

As soon as the voice fell, the assistant to the general secretary just pushed open the door of the office. He said to Yanayev in a hurried tone, "The President of Lebanon called himself and said that he has something important to talk to you directly."

Chapter 796 Scorched Earth and Massacre

The attack on the Soviet embassy in Beirut has affected the hearts of all parties, especially the frightened Lebanese government, which was already on the high-tension line of the Middle East situation. Armed groups are in a dangerous dynamic.However, this bombing completely shattered the political balance that all parties tried their best to maintain, because everyone knew that even in distant Eastern Europe, the red forces of the Soviets could still cast dark clouds over their skies.

Lebanese President Elias Hrawi now wants to die. He would rather those restless Hezbollah forces find trouble with Israel or Syria than provoke the terrible monster of the Soviet Union.The Chechen rebels, the Estonian Popular Front, the Georgian army, and the Libyan Revolutionary Party all scrambled to demonstrate for themselves what it meant to provoke the Soviets.There are even rumors that Yanayev implemented Stalin's policy in the Chechnya region, driving all the Wahhabis who refused to cooperate with the Soviet authorities to the ice and snow in Siberia to support the construction of the Soviet.As for the few survivors who can come back alive and have not turned into ice sculptures on the ice and snow wasteland, he dare not even think about it.

Now such a situation is actually happening on Lebanon's land, and the bloody case 12 years ago is still vivid in my mind.The senior leader of the Lebanese Mohammad Party who kidnapped the Soviet ambassador was finally sent back in pieces, which shocked the whole country.Except for the Colombian drug lords, the KGB dared to conduct such anti-humanitarian negotiations openly.Since then, terrorist organizations in Lebanon have avoided the more terrifying Red Soviet, for fear that they will also end up being dismembered.

The KGB finally relied on its own thunderous means to exchange for stability in the Lebanon region, but the ten-year-old peace that was exchanged for the lessons of blood and tears of the predecessors was broken by a group of guys who didn't know what to do or what to do.Just before Hrawi and Syrian President Assad signed the Le-Syria "Brotherly Cooperation and Coordination Treaty" and "Security and Defense Treaty", which stipulated that the two countries should conduct maximum cooperation and coordination in various fields. There has been an accident.He even felt that it was a trap for the National Assembly to amend the constitution and agree to extend his term for three years.

But anyway, things have happened.If I don't stand up and do something, it is estimated that Yanayev will come to ask the teacher.Rather than the other party being the first to come to the door, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

Hrawi sent the foreign minister to the Soviet embassy in Lebanon to express condolences, while trying to contact the Kremlin to clarify the matter.

"The Lebanese government has nothing to do with this incident at all. We will do our best to investigate who is behind the scenes, and I ask General Secretary Yamayev to be calm. We are conducting an investigation and will definitely give you a proper explanation. "

Hlavey used almost all the euphemisms he could use, but this did not calm Yanayev's anger.It has been too long since they have done anything in the Middle East, so that they have forgotten how terrible the Red Soviets that have enveloped Europe for more than 40 years are.

Moscow's attitude was surprisingly poor.

"Investigation? What's the use of investigation?" Yanayev said something for no reason, and immediately blocked Hlavi, "Why did you go there before? This is not the first time such an incident has happened in Beirut Is it. Is this how the security department of your country treats foreign embassies? Or is it that the Lebanese government is actually behind the terrorist attack?"

Hlavi didn't want to have anything to do with those radical organizations. In fact, except for the impatient guys, basically no one dared to provoke the Soviet Union.He quickly explained, "No, no, listen to my explanation..."

Yanayev interrupted him, "I don't want to hear your explanation, and I don't want to know what conspiracy is behind it. What the Soviet Union has to do now is that the government allows our investigation team to enter Beirut for on-site inspections. We need our own people Come to conduct a secret investigation, not the investigation department that has been infiltrated within your government. If one escapes, we will go directly to the Beirut government."

Kryuchkov and Primakov, who were on the side, looked at each other and held back their smiles.Yanayev is putting pressure on Lebanon to force the other party to compromise.

Hlavi disagreed with the KGB messing around in Lebanon. He strongly vetoed Yanayev’s suggestion, “But this is a terrorist attack on Lebanese soil, which should be resolved within Lebanon. If General Secretary Yanayev insists on Send an investigation team, then we choose to refuse."

There was no answer on the other end of the line, but Hlavey felt dead silent and suffocated.It took a long time for Hlavey to hear Yanayev's reply.In his opinion, the next words were tantamount to the Soviet Union declaring war on Lebanon.
