Chapter 634: The Red Palace Poisoning Caused

The Kremlin is also known as the Red Palace. During the Cold War, the political core of one of the two poles of the world has always been the focus of attention of media and people from all countries. Even though the Middle East is now in full swing, it has even affected the booming world economy. However, the major media and people of the world have not paid much attention to the Red Palace. However, the Red Palace has rarely appeared in the Red Palace that concerns everyone, and the attention of everyone is nowhere to be available.

On June 23, a heavyweight news broke out in the Times, "According to the news we received, the Kremlin began to secretly enter the highest alert state on the afternoon of June 18, and all personnel underwent a comprehensive and detailed investigation. What caused this change was that the fatal chemical poison was found in the lunch materials of the supreme leader of the Soviet Union at noon on June 18."

"At present, the Kremlin has blocked all the news, and the Soviet intelligence and security organization KGB has intervened in this comprehensive investigation. It is still unknown how the incident will develop."

The news from the Times has been reported to trigger a huge public opinion frenzy around the world than the outbreak of the Fifth Middle East War. There are no media reports that the Arab coalition and Israel are already in a state of ceasefire and are secretly competing with each other. Everyone has turned their attention to the Kremlin and the KGB.

However, in the face of interviews with reporters from major media, the Soviet countries remained silent. No matter how they asked, they were speechless. No matter how urgent you were, no matter how tempted you were, it was this attitude of the Soviet Union that made the discussions between major media more happy. Of course, what made them happier was that they had made more money.

"The Kremlin has been silent, ignored the requests from our reporters for many interviews, and also remained silent about various issues. When interviewing the KGB spokesperson, the other party, said there was nothing to tell. However, we still learned from relevant personnel of the Moscow Ministry of Internal Affairs that the city of Moscow has adopted comprehensive martial law, and the ones responsible for this martial law are the troops directly under the Moscow Military Region and the Moscow Corps of the Internal Guards."—

"According to a person familiar with the matter of the CIA, the incident of food that was revealed by the Red Palace was not a separate incident. In the past five months, two assassinations against the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Cui Kov, have occurred within the Soviet Union. There are many signs that the planners of the assassination have major ties with the Three Kingdoms on the Baltic Coast of the Soviet Union."—

In addition to reporting on the highly toxic incident of the Red Palace food, many media have also published articles to express their concerns about the future, believing that this poisoning incident will have a huge impact on the security and stability of the Soviet Union, and will also affect the world pattern.

"We have to remind citizens who want to go to the Soviet Union for vacation and tourism. Do not go to the Soviet Union during this period. It is not safe there. Once there is a major change, the government and the army will not be able to ensure the personal safety of citizens as soon as possible." - The New York Times

"The French government has issued an early warning to French citizens who are conducting various activities in the Soviet Union, hoping that all citizens of the country will go to their local consulates in the Soviet Union to register and keep in touch with the consulate at any time, so that they can get protection provided by the state as soon as major changes occur." - French Liberty Times

"Mr. Kasarin, a well-known commentator, said that the Soviet Union is likely to use the Red Palace poisoning incident to punish certain countries that triggered Soviet dissatisfaction. The comprehensive confrontation between the two major camps of the United States and the Soviet Union triggered by the assassination of former Soviet leader Brezhnev last year may begin again, and the possibility of the world falling into a large-scale war is very high."

Conference Room 1, Soviet Kremlin

At this time, many military and political leaders from the core level of the Soviet leadership gathered in the entire No. 1 conference room. What other possibilities are there besides discussing the Red Palace poisoning incident?

Zhou Tiance threw the editorial of the major media on the conference table, "These media are really afraid that the world will not be in chaos. They can hype this simple poisoning incident like this. They also said that the Soviet Union will impose severe sanctions on certain countries. Why do they know so clearly what I, the decision-maker, don't know?"

Zhou Tiance said and glanced at everyone, "Comrades, although I was very angry when I found the poisoning incident in the Kremlin food, I never thought there was any special political meaning or what kind of political activities it needed to be launched. This is just a small matter, it was a simple assassination planned by those dissatisfied people. I don't think there should be any major actions in China because of such a thing."

Everyone nodded in agreement with Zhou Tiance's eyes, but many people in their hearts did not believe what Zhou Tiance said. What is just a simple premeditated assassination incident? That is the assassination incident against the current supreme leader of the Soviet country. As long as the matter involving the supreme leader can be simple, there are no trivial matters? They have heard that if the security personnel had not discovered a trace of suspicion during the final inspection before the meal and then re-tested, maybe the Kremlin would have lowered the flag at half-mast now. At this level, it could still be called a trivial matter?

However, no matter how you think about it, everyone understands what Comrade Cui Kefu wants to express. Stability and stability overwhelm everything. He himself will not launch any large-scale political action on this matter, and he will do whatever he should do before. This also made many people feel relieved. They are really afraid that Zhou Tiance will use this poisoning incident to launch a large-scale action in China.

"Of course, things need to be investigated further. The Intelligence Security Center is responsible for the follow-up investigation of this matter." Zhou Tiance turned his attention to Vladimir. "If you find any discoveries during the investigation, you must inform the Politburo as soon as possible and then take action after the Politburo makes a decision."

"Yes, Comrade Cui Koff." Vladimir nodded understandingly. The words between the two made everyone feel more at ease. It seems that Comrade Cui Koff really doesn't have that kind of idea.

After the meeting, Zhou Tiance sat alone in the office smoking a cigarette. He wanted to say he was not angry and did not want to deal with the behind-the-scenes planner of the poisoning incident. After all, this was a threat to his life and he almost succeeded.

However, the Soviet Union is now somewhat sensitive to domestic situation and complex international situation, which makes him have to choose stability. Recently, the major forces led by Zhou Tiance are discussing several major political changes with other major factions at the top of the Soviet Union, including major personnel changes such as Vladimir's resignation as director of the Intelligence and Security Center and Vasily's retirement. They also have a future plan for integrating the three Baltic countries into a franchise.

Now these discussions can be said to be at a critical moment. A little storm may cause a huge impact. Zhou Tiance can only temporarily endure it for the sake of the overall situation in the future. Besides, this matter was hyped by Western media and obviously had the shadow of Americans and Western countries. No matter what action is done now, you may enter the other party's conspiracy. It is better to be quiet than to move, just investigate secretly.

"Go through this difficult time and deal with you, but thank you for this good opportunity, otherwise you will have a headache. How to think of excuses at that time?" Zhou Tiance pressed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray. Then he picked up the confidential phone number on the table and contacted Katusev. "The matters found in the investigation must be kept strictly confidential. I don't want these news to be exposed like the poisoning incident in the previous period. Let the responsible comrades be careful not to attract the attention of other organizations and investigate secretly."

Although Zhou Tiance didn't say anything serious, Katusev still savored the General Secretary's dissatisfaction with him, which made him very nervous. "Please rest assured Comrade Cui Kefu, I will definitely do your instructions strictly. As for those who leaked the news, they have received the punishment they deserve, and they will never disclose anything again."

Kosykin Restoration Villa

"The American counterattack this time is very sharp," Kosykin said to Mikhail beside him while playing a set of fitness punches. "From the news I have received, the Baltic Three Kingdoms is a bit unstable, and they are still worried that the little guy will attack them like he did back then."

"When has it been really stable after so many years?" Mikhail drank tea without any worries. "It may be a good thing to have a little instability, so that those who make trouble in secret will emerge and can vigorously clean them. Otherwise, how can we deal with it if we have been hiding so deeply?"

The hype in Western media is still going on, but the direction of media reports has begun to change. Many media have begun to turn over old accounts to link the crazy behaviors made by the Soviet Union because of the assassination of former General Secretary Brezhnev with the current situation, and have begun to worry about what terrible actions the Soviet Union will take.

"The purpose of the Soviets will be in the Mediterranean Soviet navy is gathering under the pretext of holding a ship-reading style in the Persian Gulf, but it has been reported from the Soviet Ministry of Defense that the senior Soviet military is preparing to change the ship-reading style to the Mediterranean. If we contact the Red Palace poisoning incident that has been revealed, we can clearly feel the conspiracy of the Soviet Union. We hope that countries along the Mediterranean coast will unite to face the huge threat brought by the Soviets. If we compromise at this time, we will face the strong shadow of the Soviets." - "Mediterranean Strategic Observation"

"The Soviets' target was Kuwait in the Persian Gulf. The Kuwait government's actions to independently increase oil production and reduce international oil prices in the front made the Soviet top leaders very dissatisfied. Now many main warships of the Soviet Union gather in the Persian Gulf. If the Soviet Union calls the 'master behind the Red Palace poisoning incident and takes the opportunity to take action, I wonder who will stop the Soviet attack on Kuwait? Now many Arab countries deeply trapped in the war with Israel can only watch the Soviet Union's actions when they see the Soviets' actions. Perhaps they will agree with the Soviets' actions for some ideas." - British "Jane's Defense"

There are various media analysis, but the most reliable one is speculation about the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf. After all, the former is the Soviet Union's long-standing expectation. Although the Soviet Union now has a certain influence in the Mediterranean, it still has a huge gap with their expectations. It is entirely possible to take the opportunity to expand the influence of the Mediterranean.

It is even more possible in Kuwait in the Persian Gulf. As analyzed in the British "Jane's Defense", it would be an excuse to wait until the Soviet Union participated in the assembly of ship-reading warships to attack Kuwait, and the Arab countries could only watch and even help the top leader out of certain ideas.

The media's analysis has caused great pressure on those non-Soviet countries and Kuwait along the Mediterranean coast, especially the current Kuwait government is the most under pressure. At most, the Mediterranean is just a little bit of pressure living under the shadow of the Soviets. If a person here in Kuwait is not properly dealt with, the Soviets will destroy the country.

Under the huge pressure, the Kuwait king immediately sent a test to the allies of the Arab countries. The Kuwait government believed that the Arab coalition was in a war stage with Israel. In this sensitive period, the large-scale entry of Soviet warships into the Persian Gulf would make the already complex and tense relationship even worse. It may also trigger larger-scale interference from the United States, and even attract many aircraft carrier battle groups from the Americans. For the sake of the national interests of various countries, Kuwait hopes that the Arab League of Arab States can call the Soviet Union together, hoping that it will change the location of the ship-reading.

In the face of the Kuwait government's "request", Saudi Arabia responded immediately. The Saudi government believed that the Soviet Union's ship review ceremony in the Persian Gulf would be a huge deterrent to Israel and put a huge pressure on Israel, which would be of great help to resolve the current state of war between the two sides.

Iraq's Saddam even spoke to the King of Kuwait in person. During the phone, Saddam said that the reports of Western media were psychological wars of Western countries, which were absurd hype and were not worthy of any trust. Saddam also said that if Kuwait was really worried that the Soviet Union would take this opportunity to take action, Iraq could send "security forces" to Kuwait to help Kuwait with foreign invasions when necessary.

Although Saddam's ambitions are not well known to everyone, he dare not have any illusions about his powerful neighbor, Kuwait's government, so Saddam's promise did not receive any response from Kuwait. In addition to Saudi Arabia and Iraq, other Arab League countries have also responded to Kuwait's "requests", but except for a few who agree, most of them still do not want to change these.

"Although we don't want to believe it, our allies are not worth believing from the current feedback. We must act to stop the Soviets' actions." The King of Kuwait said in pain in the face of his ministers, "We must not give the Soviets any chance, otherwise what awaits us will be the most tragic fate."

"I don't believe that the Soviet Union will give up the sanctions on our previous actions. We must take action even without the current pressure. Communicate with the British government and hope that they can help us and we will not treat our friends unfairly."
