Volume Fourteen, Smoke of Gunpowder, Chapter 32, Military Coup
Although the cold wind from Siberia is still raging. The temperature has dropped below zero degrees Celsius. The lowest record for the same period has been set since the temperature record, the Duzyikov barracks are in full swing. Dozens of tanks, dozens of infantry fighting vehicles, and hundreds of armored personnel carriers are parked behind the gates of the barracks in turn. Hundreds of fully armed soldiers gathered in the square. Dozens of light columns generated by high-power spotlights swayed back and forth above the heads of officers and soldiers. The loud army march echoed over the camp, and the atmosphere was so tense that it made people breathless.
As Major General Akayev, the commander of the garrison, appeared, the march suddenly stopped, and the spotlight turned to the high podium. After Major General Akayev's exciting speech, the officers and soldiers gathered in the square divided into dozens of people, and their steps were firmly moving towards their respective tanks and vehicles. In just a few minutes, a steel rapid flow of tanks and tanks assisted by Russia left the Duzicov barracks. In the bitter cold wind, they unswervingly drove towards the capital of Kazakhstan not far away. Before the sky was bright, sparse gunshots rang out in the city of Astana.
Less than two years later, a military coup broke out again in this vast country with sparsely populated areas.
At this time, in the underground conference center of the capital of the Republic's Xindu, thousands of kilometers away, a targeted emergency meeting had lasted for several hours.
When Dongfang Wen came to the conference room again, the officers and soldiers of the Chief of the People's Government brought lunch to the senior officials.
Because the meeting is particularly important, I arranged lunch at random, and everyone had a box lunch. Of course, if it wasn't enough, I could also ask for a second one. Just from the atmosphere of the conference center, no one has the appetite.
The guard had just left, and a young officer in the air force major uniform hurried in and whispered a few words in the ear of the Chief of Staff. After asking the major officer to go out, Yuan Chenhao nodded to Pei Chengyi, who was sitting next to him, and then looked over to the secretary who assisted the meeting. A few seconds later, a three-dimensional picture appeared in the virtual three-dimensional projection area in the center of the hall. Yuan Chenhao also left his seat and came to the front of the console of the virtual three-dimensional projector.
"This is a real-time image taken by our army's drone."
After saying this, Yuan Chenhao paused for a moment. Because there were a few participants and military attempts, even Yong Yugang had some connection with the army. When he was young, he served as the military counselor of the embassy and consulate abroad, so this sentence alone was enough to illustrate the problem.
In fact, it was not until this time that the meeting was on the topic.
Before dawn, Pei Chengyi received a call from Liu Xiaobin and learned that the Kazakhstan capital garrison troops had opened the military camp without receiving orders, and immediately asked Dongfang Wen to contact military and political officials one by one to hold an emergency meeting. At the same time, Pei Chengyi personally called Yuan Chenhao and asked him to directly issue an order to the strategic reconnaissance force stationed in the northwest region and send a reconnaissance plane to find out the situation.
Although the speed of strategic reconnaissance aircraft is above Limach, they cannot be dispatched immediately if they are said to be dispatched.
You should know that, as many years ago, the Republican authorities spent a lot of effort to develop hypersonic suborbital strategic reconnaissance aircraft.
The idea was proposed at that time, Pei Chengyi, who had just commanded the Republic's army to win the Indian War. According to the project plan submitted by Pei Chengyi to the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff, there are many benefits to developing suborbital strategic reconnaissance aircraft, the most important thing is to avoid conflicts with the target country. According to relevant international laws, airspace has borders, and outer space has no borders. This is easy to understand. Spacecraft are all orbital vehicles. They must fly around the center of the earth and will definitely enter the sky over other countries. If outer space also has borders, no one can launch artificial satellites.
The key is, where is the edge of the atmosphere?
From a natural perspective, the atmosphere is divided into troposphere, stratosphere, intermediate layer, thermal layer and dispersion layer. The maximum outer edge is more than a kilometer of concave, while the flight orbit of an artificial satellite can be as low as more than four kilometers. Affected by this, there is no clear statement on the specific division of the atmosphere in the international community, that is, at which the orbital vehicle is considered a trajectory at a height, and there is no clear statement.
That's why there is space for suborbital aircraft.
Take the hypersonic unmanned strategic reconnaissance aircraft of the Republic Air Force for example. The operational flight altitude is about 1,000 meters, that is, at the top of the middle layer, and its maximum flight altitude is 1,000 meters. At the bottom of the thermal layer. When performing reconnaissance missions, the flight altitude can be appropriately selected according to the actual situation. For example, when flying in low-risk areas, the altitude can be reduced to below 80 kilometers, and flying in free mode to obtain higher shooting accuracy. If you need to go to a high-risk area, you can increase the flight altitude to 1,000 meters and fly in orbit mode, which can not only obtain an infinite range near mutually exclusive, but also use international law to avoid being intercepted.
Of course, this can only work in peacetime and in ordinary countries.
You should know that after this strategic reconnaissance aircraft of the era was first used to reconnaise important strategic goals in the United States, and each time it was highly concerned by the North American Air Defense Command and the U.S. air defense forces, and several times it was illuminated by low-power lasers, causing the onboard reconnaissance equipment to fail. More often, the aerospace fighter jets of the US Space Force were accompanied by the reconnaissance operations, making the reconnaissance operation meaningless.
Fortunately, Russia's Jade Army is not yet in a state of climate.
More importantly, "Shanjintan does not have a strategic defense system. It cannot deal with suborbital vehicles. Of course, as a suborbital vehicle, even if it is ready for takeoff at all times, it will take several hours from receiving the order to reaching the target.
Before the strategic reconnaissance aircraft arrived, they mainly obtained intelligence through three channels. One was the real-time message sent by the Republic's Embassy in Kazakhstan, the second was the thread of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the third was the photos taken by the strategic reconnaissance satellite. Because the emergency mechanism has been activated, all intelligence is summarized by the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the intelligence analysis department of the Military Intelligence Bureau will be processed in advance, and then sent to the Head of State for reference by the national leaders.
In fact, the information provided by these three lines is enough to regret.
After the military coup broke out, Astana's garrison troops attacked the presidential palace at a lightning speed, detained President Tostoevsky, who worked for Russia, and announced that the regime established by Russia last year was an illegal regime. Major General Akayev announced his allegiance to former president Dudaev, who was in exile. Because it was a military coup that had been planned long ago, Duda less than half an hour after Akayev announced his political stance.
Yev's spokesperson said in Urumqi that Akayev was appointed as the chairman of the Sakhstan Interim Military Control Commission. He was responsible for all matters during the military control period. He then secretly returned to China. Katingadudaev, the former Minister of Defense, also Dudaev's younger brother, appeared in Almaty and announced the establishment of the Kazakhstan Interim Transitional Government. At this point, all the steps necessary for a military coup were successfully completed. In less than 4 hours.
If this was a military coup completely planned by the remnants of Dudaev's party, no one could believe it.
You should know that more than a year ago, Colonel Akayev, who was the commander of the Special Police Force of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan, was still a loyalist of Tostoyevsky. Without the support of this soldier who controlled the Kazakhstan special forces, even if Tostoyevsky could come to power, his hands would be stained with the blood of many compatriots, and his regime would not be stable. With the help of Akayev, Tostoyevsky completed the military coup without any blood. He also drove many oppositions out of Kazakhstan, so that the legitimacy of his regime would be recognized. In return, Tostoyevsky not only promoted Akayev to major general in the army, but also placed him in the position of commander of the crucial capital garrison, making him one of the most influential generals in the Sakhstan army.
It can be seen from this that if it were just Dudaev's remnants, Akayev would definitely not betray Tostoevsky.
The key is here, why did Akayev betray Tostoyevsky? According to some information released later, in the Almaty air crash that shocked the world at the beginning of the year, Akayev's parents and eldest son were all killed, but the investigation into the air crash was incomplete. According to the records in relevant documents of the Military Intelligence Bureau, this air crash is likely to be related to the Russian intelligence department's assassination of Dudaev, because among the victims were security advisers during Dudayev's rule. It was this air crash that changed Akayev's political stance and pushed him into the Dudayev camp. Of course, there must be someone who matched the bridge between Akayev and Dudayev, and the one who played this role was the Military Intelligence Bureau.
In other words, this is a military coup carefully slandered by the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Of course, Cerong does not mean that he must participate. Starting from the intelligence front, planning often means creating all necessary conditions for the incident, but does not directly cause the incident, but instead acts with the help of third-party factors or inspiring the incident participants. To put it bluntly, the Military Intelligence Agency only needs to provide the necessary conditions for Cego Xiao and Dudaev and Akayev who initiated the military coup. It does not require direct participation. The benefits of doing this are very obvious, that is, after the military coup fails, there is no evidence to point to the Military Intelligence Agency, so there is no need to consider the consequences of being involved. At the beginning of the year, the Russian intelligence agency planned a military coup in Kazakhstan with a similar method, which left the Republican authorities nowhere to start and could not target Russia, and there was no reason to retaliate.
Whether to participate is not important, the result is the most critical.
All military coups are the same, and the first few hours are the most critical. If the situation can be controlled before the other party responds, the coup will be more than half successful.
Judging from the real-time images sent back by the drone, the situation is much better than expected.
Although the Astana garrison has only more than 10,000 people, Akayev is a general from the special forces and knows how to use troops carefully. After controlling important institutions such as the Presidential Office, the National Assembly, the State Council, the General Staff of the Three Armed Forces, the State Television, and the Central Radio and Television Station, the garrison troops gradually control the capital's external passage under the command of Akayev. They also set up roadblocks at key traffic points outside the city to check passing vehicles. In order to appease the citizens of the capital, Akayev not only ordered major daily necessities stores to open as usual and not raise prices, but also dispatched logistics troops and set up dozens of material distribution points in the city.
Citizens who need it allocated food, bottled water and other necessary supplies. Before that, hundreds of propaganda vehicles equipped with tweeters had entered the city. They started to broadcast on the radio after dawn, requiring citizens to stay at home as much as possible and not walk around. Even if they need it, they should first find the nearest patrol troops for help. Of course, Akayev did not forget the most important thing, that is, let Akayev introduce the relevant situation to the new regime Ying Yuan Chenhao, and the foot coin was doing this. They met with the Astana Police Chief, so that this retired soldier with strong years of service could obey his command.
It can be said that Akayev is familiar with the military coup.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the secret support of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Although Liu Xiaobin has been huddling in the corner and has not said a word for several hours, leaders such as Pei Chengyi who knows the Military Intelligence Bureau very well know that this military coup, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, has obvious "Military Intelligence Bureau characteristics." That is, the plan is thorough, the action is rapid and the scale is limited.
The problem is that controlling Astana does not mean controlling Kazakhstan.
Similarly, the garrison troops' allegiance to Dudaev does not mean that the Kazakhstan Defense Forces will allegiance to Dudaev.
You should know that in the past, Dongdori, with the active support of the Russian authorities, Tostoevsky eliminated almost all the remnants of the Dudaev government.
Although Kazakhstan is a typical country with a vast land of sparsely populated land, there are less than 10,000 people in Wangao and tens of thousands of people in the country of Rudo Tens of thousands of square kilometers, and the average population density is only a population of only 10,000 people per square kilometer. Not only is it lower than that of other Central Asian countries, but it also has a much smaller population than Uzbekistan. However, Kazakhstan has a large army with a total army of more than 10,000 troops. More importantly, affected by the vast territory, there are only 10,000 garrison troops stationed near the capital. More than 90,000 other troops are stationed in other areas respectively.
"It seems that the coup has been successful. But what I want to say is that at most it can only be half successful." Yuan Chenhao said, turning off the virtual three-dimensional projector. "According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, among the other eight divisions, at most, only two divisions stationed in Almaty and Himkent will surrender to Dudaev. The 7th Infantry Division stationed in Akto may remain neutral. The other five divisions are all loyalists of Tostoevsky, among which the 2nd Armored Division stationed in Karaganda, the 4th Armored Division stationed in Bapurodar and Alexeyevka
The Infantry Division can all reach Astana within 24 hours. The Infantry Division encircled and suppressed the coup. Although the Infantry Division is the most powerful force in the Kazakhstan army in terms of combat effectiveness, facing three divisions at the same time, even if other factors are not considered, the chances of victory are very limited. According to my judgment, the counter-insurgency forces will either be on the road or be on the road soon. In other words, at this time tomorrow, Astana will be attacked. Because it will take a certain amount of time for our army to join the war. So we will make a decision whether to send troops before dawn tomorrow at the latest. My opinion is "
Before Yuan Chenhao could finish his words, two young officers hurriedly walked in through the side door. One of them turned to Yuan Chenhao, and the other walked towards Liu Xiaobin, who was sitting in the corner.
After the staff officer finished speaking, Yuan Chenhao waved his hand without changing his face and let the young officer go out. After another young officer finished speaking in Liu Xiaobin's ear and left the conference center, Yuan Chenhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just received the latest news that the 2nd Armored Division, the Boot Armored Division and the Infantry Division had already opened camps one after another half an hour ago, and is expected to arrive in Astana within twenty to twenty-four hours."
"Is there any abnormality in the Air Force?" Pei Chengyi asked only at this time.
"Several major air bases have been intensified for alert. But no fighter planes have been launched."
Pei Chengyi nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Liu Xiaobin.
"I just received the news that the coup troops executed Tostoevsky for treason. Although Liu Xiaobin's words were calm, the atmosphere in the conference center immediately became tense. Yong Yuwang, who had a bad look, almost jumped out of the chair.
At this time, Liu Xiaobin also stood up, walked to Pei Chengyi's side, and said, "Chilyakov has held an emergency meeting in the Kremlin. The Russian General Staff issued an emergency mobilization order to the Siberian War Zone and the Far East War Zone Command in accordance with the emergency plan. All grassroots troops have begun to be mobilized. The main troops will enter the state of combat within 24 hours, and the second-line troops will take 48 hours. It is not yet possible to determine whether Russia will send troops to intervene. We are stepping up the allocation of intelligence and report it at any time after the news is available.
Pei Chengyi nodded at Liu Xiaobin and looked at Yong Yu.com with a gloomy face.
"If Tostoevsky was still alive, there might be room for a circle. Akayev was determined to execute Tostoevsky without a public trial, which had already left the situation out of control. I think it would be only a matter of time before Russia sends troops to this point."
“If this is the case, we have to make a decision early.
"Yuan Chenhao took the opportunity to add a sentence.
Yong Yugang sighed secretly and nodded at Pei Chengyi.
Liu Xiaobin smiled bitterly, and nodded slightly when Pei Chengyi looked over.
After scanning Yuan Chenhao with a firm look, Pei Chengyi did not rush to speak, but turned his eyes to Jiao Wenshan, who had been silent. No matter what, Jiao Wenshan is the deputy head of state and is in charge of the daily affairs of the State Council. Such a major decision cannot be without his opinions and suggestions.
