Under these circumstances, Russia suspended its implementation of the agreement. Thanks to the efforts of the Czech Republic, the first payment for grain and food was settled before April 4.
However, the European Parliament quickly passed a resolution requiring all EU member states to cooperate in the investigation of Russian hacking and prohibiting the implementation of sub-agreements with Russia alone until the investigation is completed.
The proposal was quickly endorsed by the European Commission and forced to a vote at the European Council.
Greece, the Czech Republic and Slovakia jointly vetoed the motion at the EU Council, but other countries, led by Germany and France, followed suit and stopped implementing the sub-agreement within their own national frameworks.
On April 4, Djokovic announced that Russia was considering withdrawing from the Berlin Agreement. That evening, the EU announced a permanent halt to the process of withdrawing its joint combat forces from Eastern Europe.
From the 3rd to the 5th, a large-scale protest covering the entire political spectrum of Russia was held in Moscow under the leadership of Russia (Brussels), and was originally planned to last for 4 days.
However, at a patriotic song concert held by the Communist Party of Russia on the afternoon of the 5th, a bomb exploded, resulting in heavy casualties.
After an emergency investigation, the Federal Security Service discovered that the bomb was a drama staged by a pro-monarchy far-right faction.
They tried to frame certain ethnic minorities, the European Union and Ukrainian separatist forces. The victims of the explosion were mainly supporters of the Communist Party of Russia, and the relevant planners had already fled.
After the Moscow bombing, internal strife in Russia became increasingly intense.
The lieutenant in charge thought about these things that seemed to have nothing to do with him at the moment, and after urging the troops to follow up, he rode his horse up the nearest hill. After reining in his horse, he used the military binoculars on his neck to observe the hill.
Right on the ridge where he stopped, a small boundary marker stood quietly.
Once you cross the border, you're in Ukraine.
Other soldiers also rode their horses and slowly climbed up. Under the guidance of the veterans, the new recruits were familiarizing themselves with the terrain and topography of the area, laying the foundation for future patrols.
There is almost no trace of Ukrainian troops on the other side of the border. The enemy's military force was completely defeated in the war, and the entire working-age population was wiped out.
Although there was a steady flow of equipment arriving, their manpower was declining at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Towards the end of the war, the Russian army found that more and more of the enemy chose to surrender, and the quality of the troops was getting worse and worse.
Middle-aged people in their forties and fifties and little kids in their teens were all sent to the front lines.
As soon as Sergey put down the telescope, raindrops began to fall from the sky. In the wild, when it rains, the temperature drops significantly. This is because they live in high latitudes.
"Everyone return to the outpost and be careful when going down the mountain. The veterans should take appropriate care of the new recruits," he said.
Fortunately, this was the last patrol point. They did not have to continue patrolling in the heavy rain, but could return directly.
If we are lucky, we may be able to return to the outpost before the heavy rain comes.
Sergei waved to the soldiers who were resting on the hill and gave the order to return.
It is easy to climb up the mountain but difficult to climb down, especially for new soldiers who are not very skilled in riding. In addition, the road is slippery in rainy days and the mountain road is complicated with many rocks, which makes it even more difficult.
This Russian border cavalry patrol team came down the hill in the dark, one after another.
Boom——
A dazzling light flashed in the dark sky, and the intense glow generated by the lightning covered the entire sky, giving people the illusion that the sky was cracked.
The huge and dull thunder frightened the people and horses traveling at night.
"Quick, speed up!"
Damn, God is so kind to me that even at this time of year, there is still a winter thunder.
Every night when the new soldiers were training, there was a winter thunderstorm, which was intended to torment them. Sergei raised his whip and shouted:
"Everyone, be careful, don't panic... Hey, you, stay safe!"
In nature, in addition to the sound of strong wind sweeping through branches and rain hitting mountain roads, there is also the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps trudging through mud.
The members of the cavalry patrol team dismounted one by one and moved forward little by little, leading their comrades.
A flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the dark sky, its light illuminated the earth, and time seemed to stop at this moment.
The light came down with a speed faster than lightning, striking down the tallest fir tree on the hill.
At this time, Sergei saw a swaying figure at the foot of the mountain.
The lightning came so suddenly that most of the patrol's horses were frightened, and the soldiers all tried to rein in their comrades.
The war horses were frightened, and not everyone could control this, especially for a team that was mostly composed of new recruits.
Someone was kicked by the horse and flew away, fainting on the spot.
"Ivan!"
After Sergei controlled his mount, he adjusted the AKS-74N on his back to the front. He ran to the injured soldier, checked his injuries and kept an eye on the situation below the mountain.
He was sure that the figure below had nothing to do with them. There would be no visitors in the near future, and the rotation would be next month, so it was still early.
"Chekov, Yuri, take the two newcomers to set up defenses on the mountain road!"
While checking Ivan's chest injury, he said, "Just now, with the help of the lightning, I saw some people of unknown affiliation at the foot of the mountain."
"Are you sure they're not ours?" Chekov said.
"We have no visitors recently! Anyone who appears here is either Ukrainian from the south or the Red Army that has been making so much noise recently!"
"Then what do we do?"
"Be on guard first. Once Ivan's condition stabilizes, we can take the mountain road back to the outpost."
Although he was unconscious and breathing weakly, he was still breathing. However, his chest was severely injured and there was no treatment available in the wild, so he had to try to return.
Sergei carried his men on his horse, called out to the soldiers who were lying in ambush and on guard below, and led his troops back to the hill where the boundary marker was located.
The outpost they mentioned was actually a small military station, where a border defense company was stationed at ordinary times. But it was not fully staffed at this time, with about 60 people.
If the situation had not been tense recently and higher-ups had not called for heightened vigilance, night patrols like this would not be necessary.
Although the Federal Border Guards are also a type of regular army, they are not the main force compared to the field army.
What's more, this is a small unit deployed on the mountainous border. As long as nothing goes wrong, there is nothing for it to do as the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.
But on the other hand, if something happens in such a place, it is definitely not a trivial matter.
……
Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta.
We were still quite some distance away from the sentry post when the sound of gunfire came through the thick rain.
This was not the sound of American-made M16 or M4A1 gunfire, but the sound of the AK series gunfire that they were most familiar with and that accompanied every Russian soldier's military career.
"The outpost was attacked."
His subordinates did not need to repeat this fact. As an old man who had served for many years, Sergei was very familiar with this voice.
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
This is the sound of a mortar shell hitting the ground. The enemy's preparations were too sufficient.
There are still signs of resistance in the outpost, but this passive situation cannot last long.
Fortunately, the company commander was an experienced veteran. He led a platoon during the attack on Kherson, and three weeks later, he led a battalion.
Because at that time, after a shell killed everyone in the command center, he suddenly became the highest-ranking lieutenant among all the surviving lieutenants.
As for why he came to serve in the Border Guard, that was not something Sergei knew.
Perhaps it was the soldiers' experience or their long-accumulated hatred for the enemy that played a role in their continued resistance.
In such a critical moment, some people were not decisive enough, but he was very decisive. It was this spirit that made him rush to an abandoned PKM machine gun nearby, waiting for the best time to fire.
It has to happen unexpectedly, but not too early or too late.
When rights are equal to all, it is this person and not another who will gain command over others.
This superior position in battle arises from matters which are most common and obvious to all.
It comes from you destroying the tank;
It’s because the enemy has stopped firing, and those with their heads on the ground haven’t noticed it yet, but you are the first one to stand up;
It happens because you drive a car next to the artillerymen who are preparing to evacuate their position, and persuade them to turn the guns and fire at the enemies that appear in their sight, and they listen to you and open fire.
It also comes from the fact that at the moment when you and everyone else were scared, there was no expression of fear on your face, and everyone noticed this, and your voice did not become hoarse or out of tune, but maintained its original tone.
You also gave them a very general order, which no one could have done in a less critical moment, and only you did it at that moment.
Of course, there is also a condition that when you do all this, you are not beaten to death or injured.
And Sergei's company commander was such a person.
The company commander, who held the rank of major, accurately judged that the enemy was approaching, and immediately stood up and opened fire with his PKM machine gun.
He alternated between long and short bursts of fire, and from time to time he moved with his gun to avoid being hit by enemy mortars.
After such a flexible machine gun was awakened, the enemy's offensive obviously stagnated.
Of course, this is not a large-scale super battle, but it is still a demon that eats people without leaving any bones.
As long as it is related to war, it will devour a lot of people. Here today, there tomorrow... I think a lot of people will die.
Seeing that the friendly forces were not in good condition under heavy attack, Sergei told his men to tie the horses' harnesses and then distribute the troops as required by the manual.
They were not cavalry - they simply used horses for long distances - but pure infantry.
If this force of more than 30 people is used well, it can be enough to turn the situation on the battlefield.
"Are you ready?" Sergey asked.
"What about you?" Yuri asked in reply.
A smile appeared on his face, and his right hand skillfully turned the large paddle on the AKS-74 receiver.
Sergey said, “Then let’s get started.”
The platoon leader waved his hand, and the three teams formed a trapezoidal structure and quickly ran towards the battlefield at the foot of the mountain.
At first, the enemies who attacked the outpost thought they were friendly forces, and they cheered.
But when the bullets flying from the side hit them hard, they reacted belatedly.
Tonight, there were almost hundreds of battles like this.
With the exception of this one border outpost, which put up a fierce resistance and inflicted heavy damage on the attackers, most of the battles ended in victory for the Red Side.
The Russian-Bolshevik Party chose the strategy very cleverly. They launched the attack under the cover of winter rain and coordinated with large-scale artillery support. The war progressed with great momentum and was overwhelming.
Chapter 171 The Soviet Union returns like lightning?
By January of the new year, anti-Bolshevik riots and military splits across Russia had spread like wildfire.
Large numbers of troops and various royalist, far-right and even neo-Nazi militias began to seize light and heavy weapons and purge the local governments in Russia and Brussels.
However, the bulk of the army remained loyal to Moscow.
The royalists and the extreme right nominated Igor Sletkov as commander-in-chief and Poklonskaya as head of the provisional government.
But the Patriarch chose to support the Moscow regime because a lot of unfavorable evidence was in the hands of the Tsvigun faction's security service.
After Ukraine was completely disarmed, the civil war situation became more serious, and many military units began to waver and began to contact the Provisional Government of the Russian Federation.
Just as the whole world was watching the show, still unable to grasp the pulse of this new force from the periphery of Russia, they brazenly launched a new round of campaigns.
Starting in March, the federal army, which had received assistance from Europe, attacked Belarus, which led to fierce resistance from the local people of Belarus;
Seeing the unfavorable situation, the EU withheld the second batch of agreed military aid, which made it impossible for the Russian federal army, which was determined to quell the war, to launch further offensives, ultimately leading to the failure of the campaign.
This was a very serious strategic misjudgment. The EU's move to cut off the financial support led to the rapid collapse of the Russian Federation's provisional government, and politicians and oligarchs set off for Western Europe to seek refuge.
The collapse of the provisional government directly led to the loss of command and loyalty of a large number of troops with intact organization and equipment, and they all accepted Russia's surrender and laid down their arms.
In order to ease domestic tensions, no further punishment was imposed except for some far-right terrorists who committed war crimes.
Russia's attitude was very ambiguous. It turned out that most of the key personnel of the Russian army had not been purged from the army.
The Civil War seemed to be over.
The Soviet Union returns like lightning?
It is difficult for outside observers to accept Russia's actions.
Because there are too many problems left over here, the differences between the two Soviet Unions in terms of system and parties are quite significant.
The large-ministry system, multi-party system and semi-market economic system that accommodates a portion of private economy are in sharp contrast to the former Soviet Union.
