The next day came soon, and Jing Jian's house arrest life was still as usual, but there was a lot of followers around him. Chom didn't look at him much. If his appearance was still acceptable, Jing Jian might have a little tolerance, but he looked that way? Does that hurt his character know? Fortunately, Nona came to "neutralize" from time to time, which made Jing Jian not completely lose his appetite.

There were still many soldiers coming and going in the manor, but Marshal Miao Ke had not come back for a whole day. Nona did not hide this and told Jing Jian during a chat: His uncle is busy stabilizing the situation.

However, the excitement of the first day had disappeared, and even Nona's face was filled with worries. For the conservatives, the situation had become worse and worse, and various opposition forces began to counterattack wildly.

Dinner was eaten in Jing Jian's room, and two guests, Nona and Chom, also came. At this time, the three of them had no intention of such a strange combination. While using the meal, they watched the latest reports on TV intently:

The United States and other Western powers were completely negative about the actions of Yanayev and others, and expressed their support for Gorbachev and Yeltsin. At the same time, they announced the suspension of economic aid to the Soviet Union and put pressure on the Soviet National Emergency Committee.

"…U.S. President Bush, who is on vacation in Maine, held a press conference at the vacation spot and issued a statement saying: Obviously this is an unsettling development and will have serious consequences for Soviet society, Soviet relations with other countries, including relations with the United States... "

"Western society generally has tough wording. Leaders of Western countries such as the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Australia have made public speeches, condemning the National Emergency Committee. They have clearly expressed their support for the current Soviet president, the democratic leaders and the Russian president. In addition, the complete termination of aid to the Soviet Union..."

"... the National Emergency Commission issued a latest order, pointing out that the order issued by the President of Russia aims to seize the authority of the supreme authority and management of the Soviet Union and to enable the executive bodies of the Republic to enjoy the authority of the coalition bodies, which is contrary to the Constitution and the law, and that all regimes and management bodies of the Russian Federation and their heads must "absolutely implement the decisions of the National Emergency Commission of the Soviet Union..."

"…The Moscow City Garrison Commander announced that a curfew will be imposed in Moscow from 23:00 on August 20 to 5:00 a.m...."

“…The mayor of St. Petersburg made a televised speech, harshly condemning the actions of the National Emergency Commission…”

“…The National Emergency Commission requires the Russian Radio and Television Commission to obey the leadership of the All-Soviet Radio and Television Corporation…”

“…The Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs revokes the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs’ order to dispatch hundreds of armed cadets from the Military Academy to Moscow…”

“…”

The news was dazzling, making everyone's heart feel like they were riding a roller coaster, constantly going up and down. Of course, Jing Jian's mentality was a little calmer, and Nona and Chom seemed nervous, although their nervous things were completely opposite.

"Why are there so many hostile elements?" Nona seemed confused and actually asked such a question in front of the two of them.

Jing Jian and Chom looked at each other and continued to eat. At this time, the answer was not good, so it would be better to just pretend to be mute.

"Do you think the Soviet Union is still saved?" At this moment, Nona seemed quite weak, and even with tears in her eyes, she was obviously pessimistic.

Jing Jian couldn't bear it when Chom still pretended to be stupid. He put down his knife and fork and comforted him: "You have a huge territory, rich resources, and great people. In any case, your country will also become the most influential country in the world."

"But what should I do now? Do they really want to destroy the country?" Nona looked at Jing Jian pitifully, as if she wanted to give herself psychological comfort from his words.

What should I do? Even if Jing Jian knew, he would never say it. Not to mention that the Soviet Union is now hard to return, and even gods cannot save it. With the national economy this year alone, the Soviet Union fell by more than 10%. The reform and new thinking of your leaders are getting worse and worse, and the people of the Soviet Union have also changed.

Jing Jian could only smile and comfort him: "It's better to watch TV, maybe there's any good news."

Unexpectedly, the following news became more and more exciting:

"... Russian leaders and their supporters gathered about 50,000 marchers next to the Russian Parliament Building and expressed their desire to defend the building. The number of Siberian coal miners strike increased. They demanded: to meet with the Supreme Leader within 24 hours; to conduct medical examinations of the Supreme Leader with World Health Organization experts participating in three days, and to announce the results of the inspections; to lift restrictions on all public opinion tools in Russia; to stop the implementation of a state of emergency in the territory of the Russian Federation during the regular meeting of the Supreme Soviet Agriculture on August 21; to withdraw the army to the original station; to ensure that the Russian president exercises his powers without hindrance; to stop threats to Russian leaders, to ensure that they are not violated and freely enter and exit; to dissolve the Soviet National Emergency Committee and to revoke all its orders and decisions..."

"...Lukiyanov met with Rutskoy, Khasbratov and Silayev and promised to ensure that the Supreme Soviet Conference of the Russian Federation will proceed normally on August 21, and the troops stationed in Moscow will return to their original stations to ensure that the Russian leaders are not threatened..."

"...The Russian President issued a statement that he began to take over the armed forces in Russia and declared that all orders issued by the Soviet Minister of Defense after August 18 were invalid. Orders that the Soviet troops and KGB troops deployed in Russia were on standby, and all troops leaving the original garrison must return immediately. Yeltsin also appointed the new Leningrad Military Region commander..."

"...Mayor of Moscow City and mayor of Leningrad openly oppose the Soviet National Emergency Committee and support Yeltsin. Lu Jin, chairman of the Russian Supreme Soviet State Affairs Committee, said at a press conference that about 70% of the leaders of local government agencies support Russian leadership..."

The situation took a sharp turn like an avalanche, like a farce, and the coup seemed to have been fully opposed before it even began.
