Chapter 528 Defeat
"What's going on outside?" Jiao Guoping ran downstairs without dressing up, grabbed a waiter and asked in Russian.
The full army is like a mouse in the parade, swaying under the window. Who can not be nervous and who can not be afraid? The waiter looked quite calm and whispered, "It's the internal security force in Baku. Didn't you hear the morning broadcast? Baku has entered a state of emergency.
"I don't know Turkic."
For the Chinese in the 1990s, Russian was one of the most foreign languages, but Turkic was the most clear language.
At this time in Azerbaijan, the national language was changed to Turkic, and the national radio and television were also mainly Turkic, which was extremely inconvenient for Jiao Guoping.
The waiters of Shaqi Hotel are well trained. Seeing Jiao Guoping's interest, he immediately explained, "I heard from the radio that Baku and Ganjia cities have entered a state of emergency, and they are not allowed to go out at night. There must be a legitimate reason to go out during the day.
The special police force began to carry out martial law in Baku, and the internal security forces will go to the Ganja area, which is said to restore public security. In addition, His Excellency the President made a speech.
Although it is not organized, the waiter still said all the information.
Jiao Guoping rubbed the corners of his eyes twice, as if he saw something, and ran to the phone at the end of the corridor without saying a word.
The waiter looked at his back, stretched out his hand, and fantasized about the feeling of tip falling in the palm of his hand.
This time, no one stopped Jiao Guoping from making a phone call. He also quickly opened up the embassy and got the latest news that the former commander of the National Army, Husseinov, thought that Eric Bey's dismissal was a political retaliation, so he led an army loyal to him.
From the Ganga Uprising, he entered the capital Baku and asked Eric Bey to resign.
And the Azerbaijani internal security forces.
In fact, he went to the front line to resist Husseinov's army.
There is no doubt that Su Cheng's prophecy is correct! Thinking of this conclusion, Jiao Guoping took the phone and suddenly lost interest in speaking.
"Why don't you talk?" The military officer of the embassy on the other end of the phone said loudly, "The situation is chaotic now. Where are you? What happened?" I'm at the Shaqi Hotel, so I can't go back for the time being.
Jiao Guoping didn't say much.
What didsay? Tell the embassy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Sucheng has guessed it for a long time? He got the information a day in advance, and at this time, it lost its value.
The prediction of Su City.
is being implemented step by step.
Although the final result is foggy, the situation has indeed changed dramatically.
Whether it is a diplomat like Jiao Guoping or a reporter running around the hotel, I'm afraid they will no longer regard Elchi Bey as the hope of Central Asia.
The good words will eventually pass away with the wind.
The person who was evaluated.
will taste the joys and sorrows of reality.
The People's Front members who were disciplined by Elchibeyi, whether they were happy or not, could only lick their wounds secretly.
But an old warlord like Husseinov will not be so obedient.
Huserinov's qualification is no worse than that of Ellicibeyi, and he also performed well in the war in the Nagorno region, because of his outstanding achievements and won the title of national hero of Azerbaijan.
In the war with Armenia, although Husseinov was defeated, his army was not strong enough.
Non-war crimes.
Ellicibeyi lost the position of commander of the National Army, and Husseinov naturally did not accept it.
Most of them are local powerhouses who are as full of resentment as him.
These people, even in the Soviet era, were not so calm, not to mention Elchibeyi, who was a scholar and first involved in politics.
On the one hand, the intra-party forces of the People's Front are weakened, and on the other hand, the unconvinced local forces, even if Husseinov can bear it, the people around him will force him to carry the banner.
When Elchibeyi exchanged the future and fate of others for the end of the demonstration and great prestige, local resistance was inevitable.
The difference lies only in the scope and result of resistance.
Elicibeyi, who has always been a hardliner, this time's choice is consistent with the choice of suppressing the rebellion by force in the face of the Naka controversy! The internal security forces in Baku are still the most powerful troops in Azerbaijan.
They have the best equipment, the most abundant military, and the most hard-working training.
This army is also the confidence of Elchibeye.
Similar to the National Revolutionary Army in the era of Sun Yat-sen in China, the quality of all aspects of the internal security forces is commendable and is effectively controlled by the "People's Front".
The market in Baku is not yet chaotic, and it is also out of people's trust in the internal security forces.
More than half of Azerbaijan's military expenditure has been invested in this army, and their strength is naturally stronger than that of Husseinov's army.
Jiao Guoping was far from reassuring. After he hung up the phone, he thought for a moment and didn't get the point, so he simply went to find Su City.
The Shaqi Hotel is not big. Jiao Guoping soon found Su Cheng in the bar on the ground floor.
"Baku's internal security forces and special police have been dispatched. You are really not afraid of being arrested."
Jiao Guoping sorted out his mood and half-jokingly sat next to Sucheng.
"Give him a cup, too."
Su Cheng said to the bartender and asked, "Why didn't you go back?" There are too many questions. I can't bear to go back.
Jiao Guoping stared at Su Cheng and said, "I have to admit that the development of the situation has turned around a little, but it has not reached the critical point yet.
I still don't understand. Why are you so sure that Aliyev will take the stage? There are too many... too many..." "The key point?" Yes, there are too many key points.
Jiao Guoping picked up one-third of the cup of gin with a wry smile and drank a clean and spicy sting.
Su Cheng motioned the bartender to fill it up again. He picked up the cup and tasted it slowly. He smiled and said, "The real key point is over.
Now there are only two things left, the result of the suppression of the Ganja rebellion by the internal security forces, and whether Aliyev can take power.
"The most favorable thing for you is the failure of the internal defense force. Husseinov advanced into Baku with victory, but the loss was huge, and both sides were injured, right?" Analyzing these, Jiao Guoping is still very good at it.
"This is almost doomed."
Su Cheng said like a narrative.
Jiao Guoping was stunned: "Azerbaijan's internal security forces are the strongest, just one piece of equipment.
is better than Husseinov's army.
I don't know anything about military, but the number of people is almost the same, and the better equipped internal security force.
Even if you can't suppress the rebellion quickly, you won't be defeated.
Su Cheng glanced at him and said, "Is the equipment better? Where did you know that?" This... Azerbaijan receives the most military spending, which is the internal security forces.
"This is one of the reasons for the indignation of Husseinov's soldiers. They work hard on the front line, but their treatment is not as good as the casual internal security forces.
However, the source of funding for equipment.
It is not necessarily a government grant from Azerbaijan.
Jiao Guoping thought of a possibility and said in surprise, "Have you funded Husseinov?" To be precise, it was Aliyev who funded Husseinov.
"How much is the funding? Where did you get the arms?" This is the Soviet Union.
As long as there are US dollars, there is no arms.
Su Cheng posted and said, "Alyev distributed a total of 50 million US dollars to Husseinov.
In this uprising, he sponsored another $20 million.
Not much.
A total of 70 million."
"Seventy million dollars back..." Jiao Guoping drank all the gin in the glass again.
As Sucheng said, in the territory of the former Soviet Union, as long as there is money, you can buy any arms, and you can buy as much as you want.
The former Soviet Union is like an unlimited arsenal of weapons, with a steady stream of supplies from the opposition around the world with gifts.
In Azerbaijan, if you buy aK47 wholesale, up to $3 is enough.
If you meet a conscientious person, you may be given 300 bullets.
70 million US dollars to purchase arms in Azerbaijan.
If you can buy an elite tank brigade to arm light infantry, the number will be too many.
Not to mention that Husseinov has other sources of funding.
"Will Baku's internal security force lose?" Jiao Guoping's mouth is full of bitterness.
"Don't worry, it's about to be known."
Su Cheng said, drank all the things in the cup and went upstairs to sleep.
In the next few days, there will be nothing to do with him.
Jiao Guoping hesitated again and again, and finally returned to the embassy.
At this tense moment, party members always want to snuggle in the arms of the organization.
Guo Jingxiang and others naturally inquired, but there was no result.
Jiao Guoping is the deputy director of the actual position anyway. He doesn't want to say it. No one can force him to say it.
And the development of the situation has increasingly made Jiao Guoping lose interest in speaking.
When the state of emergency was implemented in the second week, the city of Baku became chaotic again.
During the day, the streets that should have been deserted became lively again.
All kinds of vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians, like Chinese returning home during the Spring Festival, are busy preparing to leave the city or stay in the city.
The food in the food store was snapped up, the means of transportation were crowded, and the black market of pawn and exchange of goods opened all over Baku overnight... The soldiers of the special police force began to take care of it, but the soaring number of people quickly made them change from active to indifference.
The next day, some members of the special police force were even absent.
When such information was gathered at the Chinese Embassy, Jiao Guoping clearly realized that the internal security forces had been defeated.
His idea was confirmed that afternoon.
The embassy staff who sent the newspaper to return to the embassy at the speed of sprint, holding the fresh evening newspaper in his hand, and shouted loudly, "The internal security force was defeated, and Husseinov advanced into Baku!" Destroyed? The meaning of this word is much more than defeat.
The military officer of the embassy understood it first and immediately said, "Sclose the door and send a telegram to the country."
"What else is the news?" Guo Jingxiang nervously grabbed the newspaper, skipped the large picture of Husseinov standing on the tank, and looked at the summary first.
The translation of the embassy said at a fast and slow speed: "The former commander of the Nationalist Army, His Excellency Husseinov, announced that he would invite representatives from all parties to gather in Baku to discuss the future of Azerbaijan. The invited representatives are: Aliyev..." The first name was Aliyev, and Guo Jingxiang's face turned pale.
This is definitely not a good omen. He can't imagine what Minister Zheng will look like when he receives this telegram.
