After arriving at the Moscow airport, Shevardnadze went directly to the Kremlin to attend an emergency meeting of the Politburo, despite the fatigue of the journey.
It's not that Shevardnadze doesn't want to go back to rest, it's that Georgia has a lot to do with him, and he actually has a premonition that he is obligated to do this time, and the central government should let him go to Abkhazia to deal with this crisis.
As he had predicted, there was no such thing as the usual mutual attacks at this meeting, and the atmosphere was harmonious, and even Ligachev sat there with a frown and seriously pondered a solution.
The impact of this incident is so great that according to reports from the diplomatic and intelligence systems, the Western media have already reported on it.
This made the Soviet government even more troublesome, and if it used force, it would inevitably not be criticized by the Western media.
They were ignorant of Georgia's problems, oppressed by the Abkhazians, and the Soviet central government's attempt to intervene to defuse the persecution of the Abkhazians by the Georgians was seen by the Georgian ultranationalists as separatist activities against Georgia.
The Western media will not pay attention to such a complicated relationship, they will only focus on the more than 100 Georgian ultra-nationalists who went on hunger strike.
Ligachev was actually more dissatisfied with Yakovlev in his heart, if it weren't for some bullshit public policy, Gamsa Hurdzia would still be in the mental hospital in Tbilisi, how could he make such a big move.
But now there is no point in saying such things at such a time, and Ligachev, seeing that everyone present does not speak, feels that he should do something for the country, even if he is saddled with the title of butcher executioner who represses the people, he does not care.
"I propose that troops be sent to Abkhazia immediately to maintain normal order there, and these clowns can no longer be allowed to mess around," Ligachev said as soon as everyone present looked at him, and then at Gorbachev, as if to gauge the general secretary's intentions.
"I object, if we do this, then there will be a serious regression in our political reform, and all our efforts for the past few years will be wasted" Yakovlev was the first to jump out and object.
Ligachev thought about it and still did not refute, he was waiting for the support of other comrades in the Politburo.
But no one supported him, because everyone here knew that Ligachev would not be long before he was retired.
"Why don't I go to Khusumi, Georgia is my hometown, I think we should try to talk to them anyway, if we can solve the Abkhaz problem through dialogue, of course that's good, if not, we're thinking of other ways," Shevardnadze said.
An emergency meeting of the Politburo lasted until the middle of the night, when Shevardnadze's proposal was finally adopted, and Yakovlev and Gorbachev were still fantasizing about reasoning with the Georgian opposition.
However, Shevardnadze knew that these opposition forces had no reason to talk about it, that they did not want the Abkhaz issue to be resolved smoothly, and that if the Abkhaz issue was settled by the Soviet government, how could they benefit from this political turmoil Those who participated in the economic conference had a headache over the Georgian problem, and Seryosha, who did not attend the meeting, had a headache just like that, because if the Georgian issue really got bigger, the plans of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone would certainly be greatly affected.
During that night, Seryosha made numerous phone calls, and he consulted Georgia with his friends in the KGB system, the Komsomol Pravda newspaper, and Lebed, who worked in the Ministry of Defense, but neither the KGB nor the Ministry of Defense received orders from their superiors to transfer troops to Georgia.
This made Seryosha very disappointed, he would rather Gorbachev cut the mess with a quick knife than drag, what kind of virtue these oppositionists are, Seryosha has long known it through the front reporters of Komsomolskaya Pravda, it is not even as good as a gangster.
Seryosha thought about it for a while, he understood that it was inconvenient for the government to use violent means in this turmoil, but if the violent means came from the people, what if the violent means came from the people, Seryosha picked up the phone and called Hassan.
In less than half an hour, Hassan came to Seryosha's house, and even Petrov's father was called out by Seryosha.
"Hassan, I have a matter for you now, I want you to go to Georgia, integrate the local Russian and Abkhaz gangs, and teach the Georgians a good lesson," Seryosha explained in a low voice.
"Boss, Georgia, I've never been there," Hassan said in surprise.
"It's better if you haven't been, you're a fresh face, it's easier to act in Abkhazia, do you know what's been going on in Georgia lately Originally, these people had nothing to do with us, but now they're going too far, and if it goes on like this, the Leningrad Special Economic Zone that I am in charge of will most likely go bankrupt because foreign investors lose confidence.
So we have to meddle in the affairs of Abkhazia, and it is better to beat those ethnic elements in Georgia so that they can no longer speak," Seryosha said viciously.
"Boss, what am I going to do when I get to Abkhazia," Hassan asked seriously.
"I'll give you enough money, the local non-Georgian gangs in Abkhazia are integrated, aren't those Georgians arrogant, you have to be more arrogant than them, it's better to beat Gamsakhurdia and his gang of scum out of Abkhazia, so that they don't dare to make trouble again," Seryosha said.
This night, Seryosha and Hassan, Petrov have been discussing all night.
Seryosha asked Hassan to play the name of the Gorky Brotherhood, because it was somewhat influential in various regions of the Soviet Union, and it was easier to integrate resources in Abkhazia.
Seryosha This is no way, if the army is dispatched in this matter, the reputation is too bad, but if it is a civilian army, there is no problem.
In the years leading up to Seryosha's crossing, defending national interests in the name of civilian forces had become a common tactic of the government, most notably the famous American company Blackwater, and Russia's pro-Russian forces in the Crimea dispute and the war in Ukraine.
Now Seryosha has asked Hassan to control the situation in the name of gangsters in Abkhazia, which is actually the same idea, after all, civil disputes are not as conspicuous as the government's repression.
Seryosha asked Hassan to select some capable cadres from Moscow to go to Georgia, preferably from Afghanistan, because these people are organized, disciplined, and know how to fight, even if the non-Georgian population of the Abkhaz region is not dominant, but with a leader with combat experience, Hassan will be much smoother. t1706231537:
