The next day of the year is the day that should be remembered firmly.

On this day, with the Russian airborne landing in Astana, World War III broke out.

Of course, the actual situation is far from that simple. During this day, many important things happened. Only by connecting these things together constituted all the necessary factors that triggered the Third World War.

On the morning of the same day, Akayev launched a military coup. Less than a young age after announcing his allegiance to Dudaev, Dudayev showed up in Yining, Xinjiang. He announced that he would send former Defense Minister Jerirenko to return to Astana on his behalf, to take over the Military Control Commission on his behalf, and to form a temporary government. This arrangement was different from the original plan, because it was not Jerrenko who returned to Astana in the plan, but Dudayev. For security reasons, Dudayev accepted the advice of the competent authorities of the Republic and would not go to Astana for the time being.

Not going to Astana does not mean that Dudaev will not return to Kazakhstan. In any case, Dudaev is the elected president of Kazakhstan and is the supreme leader of Kazakhstan recognized by dozens of countries including the Republic. Although the president is not a monarch, only by returning to the county can the president's value and status be reflected. In this way, Dudaev must return to Kazakhstan. The provisional government he announced is legitimacy.

As mentioned earlier, returning to Kazakhstan does not mean returning to Astana.

When Kazakhstan was independent and founded, the capital was not Astana, but Almaty.

That's why less than two hours after announcing the sending of Jerrylenko to Astana, Dudaev took the convoy back home. He left Yining at noon that day and followed the Ai Expressway in the Ili River Valley to Almaty. He chose to return from the ground. Instead of choosing a faster air route, it was not only safer. Yining advised him to go to Almaty to more kilometers. Even if he drove slowly, it only took a few hours. Because Dudaev was the supreme leader of another country, he was in the process of flowing.

During the demise of the Republic, he received the highest treatment from the visit of other heads of state, that is, personal safety is the responsibility of the head of the Republic's guard force, so when he left, he was still escorted by the head of state. After all, it was only a little distance from Yining to Almaty, and during Dudaev's reign, several common security agreements were signed with the Republic. The armed forces of the Republic can enter Kazakhstan under special circumstances. Therefore, the head of state security forces were responsible for security and protection at the invitation of Dudaev.

In fact, everyone knows that it is definitely not just dozens of security guards who escorted Dudaev.

According to reports, in addition to the escorting Dudaev's guard forces, in order to ensure the safety of the exiled president and return to Kazakhstan in time, the Republic's authorities also mobilized multiple troops including air combat fighters, long-range artillery and air assault forces. As long as special circumstances occur, the Republic's troops deployed in the eastern section of the Ili River Valley can provide support to the guard forces within 2 minutes. More importantly, there are several senior military doctors and a truck loaded with field medical equipment in the escort team. It can be said that the entire escort work is foolproof, even if Dudaev suddenly suffers a heart attack, he can safely arrive in Almaty.

Of course, for security reasons, Dudaev's return to China was not announced in a timely manner.

The most eye-catching thing at that time was Jerirenko who returned to Astana on a Republic's diplomatic plane.

The former Minister of Defense, who followed Dudaev into the Republic, arrived at the local time and half an hour later, and together with Major General Akayev announced the establishment of a provisional government to take over the Military Control Commission. Until this time, the most important step in the military coup was taken. In any case, Akayev was a soldier, and the international community would never recognize the provisional government controlled by the soldiers, let alone the military control commission formed by the soldiers. Jerrylenko is different. As a former Minister of Defense, when Dudayev's legitimacy was not questioned, his identity would naturally not be questioned. It is natural that he exercised the power of state management on behalf of Dudayev.

That was true, that afternoon, the Republic took the lead in recognizing the interim Dudaev regime.

Less than half an hour after the Republic made its statement, the rotating chairman of the intensive group and North Korean special envoy Kim Jong-nam announced at the headquarters of the intensive group in Guangzhou that the intensive group recognized why the Dudaev regime was the only legal regime in Sakstan and officially accepted the Dudaev authorities' request to join the alliance.

Within the following two hours, all member states of the intensive group announced their recognition of the Dudaev regime.

This speed cannot be described as unhappy.

You should know that if you follow normal diplomatic procedures, you will have to spend time. The Republic and other intensive group members had worked so much last night in just a few hours. Unless the administrative efficiency of these governments is astonishingly high, they would have been prepared.

The problem is that being recognized by intensive groups does not mean being recognized by the international community.

In any case, intensive groups are just regional national groups and cannot represent the entire international community.

That's right, Russian President Chiliyakov publicly stated at noon that day of Moscow time, that is, Kim Jong-nan announced his recognition of the Dudaev regime, and that he would not admit that he was secretly worried about President Xiu.

Although Chiliakov did not mention whether Russia would take action, almost all news media believed that the Russian president's statement was to give the Republican authorities a vaccination to prevent the Republican authorities from overreacting to the sudden actions of the Russian army, causing the situation to become unfavorable to Russia.

The problem is that with determination to do something, any action of the Russian army will cause the republic authorities to overreact. After Kiliakov issued a statement, Al Jazeera made a comprehensive analysis of the situation. Of course, the most eye-catching thing in the Arab TV station's report is not the analysis of the situation. After all, most viewers know what the situation looks like. What is really interesting is the replay information revealed by this TV station. For example, when Kiliakov made a statement, the main forces of the Ural Caucasus War Zone, the Siberian War Zone and the Far East War Zone were all in combat readiness, and several strategic mobile troops had left the camp and were heading to the nearest air base. In other words, the Russian authorities had made a decision to intervene in military intervention, and the Russian army would soon cross the border, like more than a year ago, suppressing the military coup in Kazakhstan at a lightning speed.

The problem is that the military coup more than a year ago was written, directed and performed by the Russian authorities, but this time it was different.

After Al Jazeera revealed the Russian military's background, it was 108,000 miles away from the area where the incident occurred. It seemed that it had nothing to do with the military coup and was unwilling to be outdone. The deployment of the Republic's army was reported. It claimed that the ground troops deployed in the northeast and northwest regions of the Republic had already entered a state of combat readiness. The Republic's Air Force also sent more air defense fighter troops, and even some strategic bombers had already been

null.

The meaning of this report is very clear, that is, the Republic has planned it long ago.

Of course, there are reports in succession. Combining Al Jazeera with Akira's reports can easily make people think that because Russia has raised the level of military alert. As Russia's neighbor and the neighboring country that is most likely to be threatened, the Republic's authorities naturally issued a warning level.

At this point, things are not finished yet.

European TV, which also had little to do with this incident, also followed up without any chance after speaking, and its first batch of key news was almost always speaking for the Republic. For example, when AFP reported the relevant news, it mentioned that the Republic's authorities did not increase troops to the northwest and northeast regions. It only appropriately increased the alert level of the garrison troops in the neighboring areas. According to this meaning, the Republic did not intend to send troops to Kazakhstan. When reporting the second batch of key news, European news media turned their attention back at the same time, claiming that the Russian army facing the European continent also increased the alert level, and some main field troops even left the camp and entered a state of combat. In other words, Russia's military mobilization was not just a needle.

For Kazakhstan, it is aimed at all directions. Although in the subsequent comments, some commentators believed that Russia appropriately raised its military alert level and had no malicious intentions towards European countries due to local security considerations, these commentators all mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that Russia is definitely not a rival to the Republic. Even if it can enter Kazakhstan first, it is likely to be defeated by the powerful Republican army. In order to prevent the local attack, the Russian authorities are likely to kidnap Europe and use Europe's strategic security as a threat to force the Republican authorities to concessions and retreat. In this way, the public outrage in Europe can be imagined, and the attitudes of European governments can be imagined.

The struggle of the dictionary is very important, but it will not completely change the situation.

Just as the news media, which had little to do with the Kazakhstan military coup, was in a quarrel, the situation in Kazakhstan was deteriorating.

Around the evening, the vanguard of the 2nd Armored Division of the Karaganda, who set out from Karaganda, arrived in the southern suburbs of Astana and exchanged fire with the infantry division stationed there, the capital garrison troops that launched the coup. Although the battle was short and after the attack failed, the vanguard troops of the 2nd Armored Division, which had unstable morale stopped the attack and retreated for thousands of meters. They broke off contact with the vanguard division, but this battle meant that the military coup would never end hastily and were entrusted.

Stoevsky's execution affected the execution of the Kazakh army, who were originally loyal to him, lost their allegiance, and would definitely not attack Astana until the situation was clear. To put it more directly, as long as Dudaev gained a foothold in Almaty, Astana's interim government began to operate normally, and a pardon order could make several generals who returned to Beijing give up their resistance. Think deeper, if Russia does not act immediately, it will definitely lose Kazakhstan completely.

For Russia, there is no choice but to send troops to intervene, and it is necessary to send troops to intervene immediately.

At this time, night had already arrived. Affected by military control, Astana, which was previously known as "City of Never Sleeping in Central Asia, has a new city with no industrial and agricultural foundation. In addition to being the capital of Kazakhstan, Astana also imitates Las Vegas in the United States, with tourism as its main development direction. It is the only city in Central Asia where gambling is legal, no longer has the scenery of the street guard post and patrol convoy lights. The whole city is immersed in the dark, as if there is no vitality.

It was on this night that the first shot of World War III of Mu was fired.

The one who rushed to the front was released by Chelwinsky's collection.

Although it is called "At Ready At Any Time." Whether the departure can be decided is not determined by the airborne brigade. Instead, the air transport force responsible for the airdrop mission. It can be said that this is the biggest drawback of the Russian airborne troops. When the Republic Army carried out comprehensive reforms and established the world's largest army aviation force, the world's largest army aviation force was established to enable the airborne troops to have its own combat capabilities, the Russian authorities still used the old organization, namely the transport aircraft that serves the airborne troops, under the name of the Air Force. It is only allocated to the airborne troops when used. In this way, the mobilization efficiency of the transport fleet will definitely be affected. In other words, the transport aircraft troops affiliated to the Air Force cannot be in combat readiness as the airborne troops, and it is impossible to dispatch immediately after receiving the order.

During the day, the airborne brigade was waiting for the transport fleet.

To be honest, the Russian army's mobilization speed was not slow. You should know that when the first batch of troops of the Flying Sun were on a transport plane, they were only a few hours before the coup, and less than an hour before receiving the combat order. Objectively speaking, the only one who could do better than the Russian army at that time was probably the Republic Army, and the US Army's mobilization speed was not necessarily faster than the Russian army. In fact, the Republic Army only required the Lord

The force is put into battle within hours after receiving the order. From the actual situation, because Astana has been controlled by the coup, and the Kazakhstan Infantry Division is its ace force, and the Russian airborne troops lack sufficient heavy equipment, the risk of airborne in the daytime is very high, so it is best to airborne at night. In other words, even if the Russian Air Force transport fleet is ready in advance, it is impossible to send the airborne voyage to the daytime.

The Fourth Airborne Brigade was able to set off in the evening. It was already very good.

The straight line distance from Ecattery Arbor to Astana is only kilometers. For tactical transport aircraft that can cruise at subsonic speeds, it is only at most from takeoff to airdrop.

In the old point, the Russian transport fleet arrived at the airdrop site located northwest of Zaistana.

Within a few minutes, the first troops of the Tikang Airborne Brigade, led by Colonel Alufu himself, set foot on the land of Kazakhstan. Colonel Alufu probably never expected that his every move was under surveillance, and there was no secret of the Tikang Airborne Brigade's actions.

At that time, a suborbital unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was hovering about a thousand meters above Astana.

Thanks to precise tactical intelligence, the relevant actions are naturally accurate and in place.

About minutes before Colonel Alov jumped out of the transport plane, about the old point blade, Dudaev, who had returned to Almaty, made his first public appearance, and announced to the invited consulates of many countries that he formally took over the provisional government and fulfilled his power to lead the country as an elected president.

Although this is just a very short statement, it is of extraordinary significance.

From a legal perspective, Dudaev's move is equivalent to announcing that Kazakhstan has ended anarchy. Therefore, if any country wants to send troops into Kazakhstan, it must obtain the consent of the Dudaev regime or accept the invitation of the Dudaev regime, otherwise it will be a military invasion.

Let’s look at the actions of the Airborne Brigade again, and it is not difficult to understand why Dudaev appeared at this time.

Although Dudaev's meeting with consulates from many countries was broadcast live through several TV stations, the Russian authorities also grasped the situation at the first time. However, with the Russian authorities' response mechanism, it was definitely impossible to contact the Digang Airborne Brigade, which had arrived over Astana within a few minutes. According to some information declassified after the war, Russian Army Commander Cherwinsky managed to contact Alov at that time, but he was not able to contact it. From this, it can be concluded that the Republic's army must have done tampering in Astana, such as interfering with the Russian transport fleet carrying the Digang Airborne Brigade, making it impossible to contact the rear through satellite lines. In short, as the Russian airborne troops led by Alov set foot on the land of Kazakhstan, the Russian invasion of Kazakhstan was a foregone conclusion and an irreversible fact.

Since there is an invasion, there will be anti-aggression and resistance.

With Kazakhstan's strength, it naturally cannot resist Russia's military invasion.

The central airborne brigade, which completed the airborne, encountered a patrol force of the infantry brigade in the northwest of Astana, and held a brief exchange of fire, killing and injured many officers and soldiers.

Minutes later, Dudaev formally received the Consul General of the Republic in Almaty and submitted his letter of state to the Republic.

At this time, Dudaev, who had not yet sat on his butt, formally requested aid to the Republic authorities, hoping that the Republic could send troops to help Kazakhstan resist the invasion.

According to the plan, the Consul General of the Republic in Almaty immediately sent the message through the communication line of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic has announced the diplomatic request of the Dudaev regime and expressed its acceptance of the invitation to send troops to help Kazakhstan resist the invasion and protect the country's sovereignty and territory.
