Chapter 97: Rebellion Controlled

"Full right rudder!" Sablin continued to shout, and another bomb fell down overhead.

This time it was even farther. The bomb fell almost a hundred meters away. Even Sablin was a little puzzled. Were those guys above his head deliberately letting it go?

Moreover, the aircraft that came was an old Yak-28, which only had some ordinary free-fall bombs. If it had been a new Su-24 attack aircraft, the warship would have been sunk long ago.

Now, dodging the bombers overhead, Sablin was still thinking that maybe he was right not to order the launch of anti-aircraft missiles. Maybe these pilots were also dissatisfied with the country, so they deliberately gave him the opportunity.

Hold on! Just hold on for another 20 kilometers and you’ll reach your destination!

"Bang, bang, bang." Just then, the sound of rapid footsteps came from below.

What's going on? Sablin turned his head back and looked at the hatch, only to see Portuliné and a large group of sailors rushing in, all holding AKM rifles in their hands.

"Saberlin, you traitor!" Portuline walked in front and shouted loudly at Sablin who was commanding the warship.

Just after coming out of the prison cabin, Portuline went straight to the armory and took out these rifles. When the sailors guarding the armory saw that it was Portuline, they immediately changed their ways and obeyed Portuline.

Along the way, he gathered some sailors, and Portuline led these people straight to the bridge.

Countless gun muzzles were pointed at Sablin. Sablin looked at these people with an unwilling expression on his face: "Portuline, I did not betray. I wanted to revolt and awaken our people. When I decided to do this, I had already put my life and death aside."

"Revolt? Sablin, don't forget that it is the great Soviet Union that has made us what we are today. It drove away the Nazis and allowed our people to live the life they have today!" Portuline said, "Even if our country has some shortcomings now, we can't rely on rebellion to reform it like you did! You are betraying the great Soviet Union. If you succeed, the country will be destroyed because of you!"

"Yes!" Hearing this, Andrei, who followed behind and carried little Ivan in, couldn't help but say in agreement.

Originally, Andrei planned to protect little Ivan and wait to go ashore. As long as Portulin was freed from captivity, he would be able to successfully stop Sablin's rebellion. However, little Ivan insisted on coming to watch the fun. Seeing that Portulin's people were all around him, Andrei felt very safe and followed him.

As a result, when Andre heard what Portoline said outside, he couldn't help but praise him, saying that these words were so right!

Now, there are some problems in the Soviet Union. Brezhnev's rule has caused the country's economy to stagnate and some people to become corrupt due to their privileges. These are all things that need to be changed. However, this so-called uprising is definitely not the way to reform!

This will put the country in a difficult situation and allow the Western world to take advantage of the situation. There are too many such examples in later generations. Whenever Americans want to bring down a country, they will promote Western-style democracy and freedom in that country. As a result, wars continue and people live in poverty. American-style democracy easily destroys the so-called freedom in the eyes of Americans.

If Sablin really succeeds this time, it will only make the country more corrupt, which is definitely not in the interests of the Soviet Union!

You can’t just do whatever you want just because you have good motivation!

"Saberlin, you are a cadre trained by the Party. Do you still remember the oath you took when you joined the Party?" Andrei said, "You keep saying that you are working for the Soviet Union, but in fact, you are just a political opportunist. In the Soviet Union, your behavior is doomed to failure!"

"Be careful!" At this moment, a sailor shouted loudly.

"Boom!" Another bomb flew over. Due to the internal strife on the bridge, no one noticed the flying bomb. As a result, this bomb was very accurate and exploded more than 20 meters away from the warship. Countless shrapnel flew onto the warship.

"Crash." The glass of the bridge was also shattered, and everyone lay down urgently at this moment.

"Take Sablin and his accomplices away first!" said Portuline. At this time, he already had control of the warship, and he couldn't let Sablin commit suicide by jumping into the sea.

Standing on the bridge again, Portulinelli was a little nervous. The warship was under his control again and the rebellion was stopped by him. However, the radio equipment was broken and he could not contact his superiors or the bombers above him. The other side still treated him as an enemy and dropped bombs on him!

"Fire an air flare!" Andre said, "The pilots on the bomber will know that something has happened here."

Flares! Following Andre's reminder, Potuline immediately gave orders, and soon, several red flares flew into the sky.

When the pilots of the two bombers in the sky saw the flames coming out of the warship, they were suddenly shocked. They had carried out several attacks, and each time was like suicide. If the warship below launched anti-aircraft missiles, the two bombers would be shot down almost immediately.

But this situation did not occur, the other side just dodged and did not open fire! Now, seeing the fire below, they thought it was an anti-aircraft missile launched, but when they looked again, it turned out to be a signal flare!

"Something's happening!" said the navigator in the transparent cover on the nose of the aircraft. "Maybe we attacked the wrong person!"

…………

Kremlin.

No one dispersed. After the order to attack was given, everyone was waiting for the report from the bomber aviation regiment.

The clock on the wall was ticking. Andropov lit a cigarette and inhaled hard. Red bloodshot began to appear in his eyes.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and there was still no news reported from the front. Just half an hour ago, at the suggestion of Kirilenko, Defense Minister Ustinov ordered a Su-24 attack aircraft aviation regiment to assist in the attack on the warship.

"Report." At this moment, a confidential secretary came in and said to Brezhnev and others who were squinting in their chairs, "Captain Potulin and others on the Sentinel have escaped from the cabin where they were imprisoned and captured the rebellious Sablin and others. The Sentinel has entered the Kronstadt naval port and is now under the direct control of the Baltic Fleet."

The rebellion was under control? Was it done by his own people on the warship? Andropov was relieved. He said to Brezhnev calmly: "General Secretary, I want to go to Leningrad in person to try these criminals."
