USSR 1991

"If something happens to the kidnapped diplomatic officials in the next few days, you should know what we will do, right President Hrawi."

"We will attack all anti-Soviet organizations in Lebanon. This time it is not a small-scale attack of precise targeting and removal, but a scorched-earth tactic of total war. I will let those terrorists occupy every village and every city. , Every cave has turned into uninhabited scorched earth! Those who dare to violate the Soviet interests will be severely punished."

"Don't worry about the number of bombers, I can assure you that we have enough bombers to plow and turn most of Lebanon into a burning hell."

President Hlavi's back was already drenched in cold sweat, and he asked with twitching corners of his mouth, "General Secretary Yanayev, you have thought clearly, this is preparing for another Middle East war. If you do this, it is tantamount to paying a tribute to Iran. The world of Silan declares war."

Yanayev sneered, and he said sarcastically, "No, this is not a Middle East war. In fact, the six Middle East wars were nothing more than local conflicts of no standard. A group of Muslin hillbillies fought with the most advanced weapons. A clash of primitive people, you think this is a modern war? You have never seen the nightmare where every inch of land is bombed. Do you need us to teach you what war is?"

"What the Soviet Union is preparing is a massacre in the Middle East."

"So now, does President Hrawi insist on opposing our investigation team's entry into Beirut?"

Chapter 797 The Slaughter of Zahle

As a shameless imperialist power, Yanayev exchanged the harshest words for Lebanon's humiliating promise.Beirut officials promised to fully support the Soviet investigation team in the Israeli region, and agreed to the Syrian army's investigation of places where terrorists who might endanger the consulate in the occupied area.

As soon as the news TV station received the news, it immediately interrupted the news urgently, claiming that the Soviet embassy in Lebanon had been attacked by terrorism, and the whereabouts of three embassy personnel were still unknown so far.The Soviet Union is preparing to intervene in the investigation unilaterally to ensure the safety of the embassy personnel as much as possible.

This news instantly ignited the entire Soviet Union, and public opinion is beginning to pay attention to how this matter will end.And other Arab countries also cast sympathetic eyes on Hrawi, because they offended a country that should not be offended.Of course, what is more gloating is to know how bloody this incident will end.

However, the done deal, President Hraoui can only swallow the bitter pill.

After all the conditions were negotiated and negotiated, Yanayev decided to publish the "righteous words" article, facing the reporters in the audience, and issued a stern statement.

"The terrorist attack in Lebanon was a serious disaster for the Soviet Union, because we did not do our best to protect the personal safety of the people. As the general secretary of the Soviet, I also feel that it is hard to shirk the responsibility. But the Soviet Union will never stop the investigation The rescue of kidnapped people. We will deal the most painful blows to those who try to violate the rights and interests of the Soviet Union. We will destroy those enemies who stand in our way one by one. These terrorists are the first, but definitely not the last. Everyone will realize that our country is strong!"

This is an aggressive statement. Even the President of the United States who is far away in Washington can feel the brutality and domineering in the words. He knows very well that this time the guys from the Allah Front have pissed off the red giant bear. .After the CIA finished using these guys, it immediately turned its face and evacuated without recognizing anyone. Brennan directly issued an order to stop all agents lurking in Lebanon from taking any action.Avoid revealing your identity.At the same time, he also transferred some of his strongholds to safe houses to prevent any clues from being detected by KGB agents.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, we have done everything we can to cover up all the evidence. Even if the Foreign Intelligence Agency suspects that the CIA is behind the scenes, they dare not act without authorization. The most the Soviets can do is scare Lebanon, which has no evidence. The government supported by the forces behind it. That set is destined to get no benefit in front of us."

"This time we have created a big and small trouble for the Soviet Union, and Yanayev may be busy for a long time."

Director Tenet is full of confidence. This is his first move to provoke the KGB. He is busy letting the opponent fight the fire so that he will not have the opportunity to expand his power in Eastern Europe.

President Mario scratched his nose and said in a low voice, "No matter what plan you have behind you, I hope you can go faster, Director Tenet. You should have noticed that the German Democratic Baath Party in eastern Germany had a private discussion with the Soviet Union The European Common Defense Treaty has been signed, although Kohl is strongly opposed to this matter, but with the support of the powerful Soviet Union, the Federal Republic of Germany's speech seems too powerless."

"There is also the problem of Romania. Now the United States has no energy to save our Constantinescu." President Mario is really not interested in rescuing that kind of double-faced wall, not to mention the Soviet Union's westward expansion policy. At least it can make the group of pampered "old Europeans" feel a certain amount of pressure again.Let them understand that the real opponent has not disappeared from this world, and that armament expansion and reorganization are the problems they face.As for providing welfare for the people and seeking benefits for the people, that is just an afterthought.

"I'm very worried, Director Tenet. The small actions of the Soviet Union behind the scenes are further expanding their sphere of influence. Since 1985, they seem to have regained the wildness of aggression."

The worries expressed by Mario are not without their own reasons, but Tenet still comforted the other party and said, "Don't worry, Your Excellency, we have taken all measures. This Lebanon operation is just a prelude. The next Soviet strategic plan There will be a series of blows."

The kidnapping group that has been silent has finally released a video.Standing in front of three kneeling, blindfolded hostages, the head of the Allah Front, Rafiq Ehud, issued a provocative statement to the Soviet government.

"Unless the lackeys of Syria and the Soviet government behind them get off the land of Lebanon, our attacks will not end. This land that belongs to Islam will not allow any foreign invasion, nor will communism The power is expanding again. If we don't see your actions after another week, we will execute the hostages in front of the whole world, and give you a bloody warning."

Yanayev watched the video with a heavy heart, and the scene of condolences to the families of diplomats was still lingering in his mind.Those people are other people's sons or fathers, and no one wants to see their loved ones executed on TV screens all over the world.

Yanayev clenched his fists and vowed to make these bastards pay with blood.

After turning off the video, he turned his head and said to the dignified Kremlin executives around him, "The enemy has appeared, do you know what to do?"

Kryuchkov nodded, "I know. We have arranged for KGB agents to conduct investigations in Lebanon. The main area of ​​activity of the Allah Front is concentrated in Zahel. This place is a bit tricky. It belongs to the transition zone between the Syrian and Israeli troops. An area where various forces are active."

"Neutral zone?" Yanayev asked.

Defense Minister Yazov shook his head, "There is no such thing as a neutral zone in Lebanon, but if you act rashly here, it will arouse the vigilance of the Israeli side, because both Syria and Israel have wanted to deploy troops in this place. , but out of political rivalry, they signed the Zahle peace agreement in 1993."

"If you want to do this, it may be regarded as marching into southern Lebanon they control. So if we really want to follow the previous plan and carry out large-scale air strikes in Zahel, then a series of problems such as civilian casualties They will all be blamed on us. Moreover, such an action requires the cooperation of Syria. Once the casualties are too large, it will be extremely detrimental to President Bashar’s troops stationed in Syria, especially under the situation of constant pressure from the Arab army.”

Yanayev said helplessly, "And we can't reveal our political intentions too early. Once the people of the Allah Front perceive our actions, all the previous efforts will be in vain."

Both Kryuchkov and Yazov looked at Yanayev, hoping to come up with an accurate plan.

"I've thought about all these issues. A large-scale militarized strike is just to scare that old fox in Hlavi. In fact, we need to send a ground assault team to hunt down the top leaders of the Allah Front, right? Commander of Special Operations The Ministry should have a detailed plan, right?"

Kryuchkov nodded, "Yes, they are experts in dealing with this type of problem. We have prepared several plans before, one of which is to send a ground team to attack. In cooperation with the Syrian air force, implement a A precise surgical strike."

"Very well, we will adopt this method. As for Israel's diplomacy, we will coordinate with the outside world and the ambassador to Israel."

Having said that, Yanayev paused for a moment, and he emphasized to Kryuchkov, "By the way, there is another problem, that is, the hunting and killing of the hostages and the residence of the head of the Real Front and his family. Launch an assault."

"If our methods are not strong enough, they will not restrain themselves."

"So regardless of gender, age or age, all will be killed."

Chapter 798 The Wrath of the Giant Bear

Shoot or kill is Yanayev's attitude towards terrorists. Only by adopting more cruel methods than them can these people restrain themselves.Since kindness cannot influence them, then send them to see Stalin.

At least during the Stalin period, even if they were exiled to Siberia or Central Asia, no one dared to stand up and say that the central government was wrong.

"By the way." Yanayev asked more, "Is it the signal flag that we are in charge of taking action?"

"Yes, they have already begun to formulate a thorough action plan." The Secret Intelligence Service has always maintained a high-efficiency operation, especially when the motherland has reached a critical juncture.While sending troops was initially a plan B, it has now risen to the highest priority.

Yanayev told Kryuchkov, "I'm going to talk to the director of the operation."

"With all due respect, General Secretary Yanayev." Kryuchkov hesitated, but he still said bluntly, "There is a difference between the commander and the leader. They should come here to see you. If possible, I will Send them to the Kremlin immediately."

Yanayev glanced at Kryuchkov with a stern look, and repeated what he had just said, "I'm going to talk to the person in charge of this operation. The Kremlin will ask these people to disregard life and death. So it's up to me to meet them, where are they?"

Kryuchkov took a step back subconsciously. He glanced at the Minister of Defense beside him and tried to ask him for help, but Yazov just nodded silently, hoping that he could follow the general secretary's advice.

"At Tula," replied Kryuchkov.

"Very good." Yanayev picked up his coat and put it on, and said to Kryuchkov as he walked towards the door of the office, "Tell them to prepare the helicopter, and we will go to Tula now."

This direct meeting even avoided the head of the Secret Intelligence Service in Moscow, and Yanayev directly contacted the commander of the operation.According to Yanayev, all procedural steps are skipped under special circumstances, and he has no time to slowly consume patience in the bureaucracy.

With the roar and vibration of the helicopter, Yanayev has reached the tarmac of the Tula base. This is the only time that the top person in charge met with the operation commander before the start of the special operation.

As the commander of the operation, Balalaika felt very honored to be personally interviewed by Yanayev, and it was also the general secretary who personally visited the Tula base.

The high-level direct interference also made Balalaika feel a lot of pressure. As the person in charge of the command and operation, Balalaika, a woman, can have such an opportunity not because of her scarred face, but because of the fact that she came from Afghanistan. The experience of returning from hell, excellent command and ferocity that makes the enemy frightened.

In the office of the training base, Balalaika introduced the plan of action to Yanayev, "The command will let the flag team members sit in it and fly directly to Lebanon, then land at Beirut Airport in the name of running out of fuel, and then fly from Beirut to Syria. The air force base took a helicopter to the outside of the city of Zahle, and then the signal flag took the opportunity to infiltrate the city, using its own digital equipment to collect various information and data, and send it back to the domestic headquarters through satellites to guide the mob M missile boats of the Caspian Sea Fleet Caliber cruise missiles were launched from the Caspian Sea to target the bases and important strongholds of the Allah Front, disrupting the Allah Front’s line of sight, and then the signal flag will rescue the hostages, and another part of the Allah Front leaders and their families will launch an assault on the residence.”

"Will it pose a major risk to the team, Captain Balalaika?" Yanayev asked seriously, staring at their battle plan.

Balalaika replied, "Of course there will be, but our training is to deal with such situations. In order to deal with such emergencies, we have conducted hundreds of training sessions, and we have conducted rigorous training on any possible situation. Analysis and arrangements. General Secretary Yanayev, we will rescue all diplomatic officials."

"General Secretary don't need to worry too much." Kryuchkov comforted Yanayev, "The Special Operations Command has coordinated the Air Force to dispatch Su-34 bombers to take off from Syria and conduct a mission circle over Zahel. Guarantee our ground The troops will not be hit by any. And the Caspian Sea Fleet is also ready, our offensive team has a strong backup support. And the direct assassination mission failed, our missiles and bombers will translate all the buildings that the Allah Front may hide into ruins."

It was a joint operation by Special Operations Forces, Air Force, and Navy, and there were no secrets once the offensive began.Yanayev will receive a series of diplomatic negotiations in the next few days, but these are for later.

After a moment of silence, Yanayev raised his head and said to him, "Captain Balalaika, I wish you success."
