April Holidays
The story of a special operation – a psychological blitzkrieg. 1992. There is a war in the Balkans. Just recently, a “desert storm” passed over Iraq. In Russia, too, things are not so calm – a year earlier, the Soviet Union ceased to exist, disintegrating into a dozen and a half separate states, several of which plunged into civil war. This is a boring reality. In the described world, everything is almost the same, except for some little things.
So, the private foundation of the “billionaire and philanthropist” globalist Rockwell develops a daring plan – under the guise of an April Fool’s joke, to convince the population of one of the regions of Russia that their region is leaving Russia without any problems or delays. It leaves and joins... the USA. The geographical remoteness and lack of borders do not bother anyone – there are air bridges and exclave status to solve the problem. Three new TV channels appear in one morning. The TV channels are overflowing with American talk shows and news. Considering that there were only two full-fledged and two test channels, working for an hour a day, the appearance of new channels changes a lot. Almost like the appearance of YouTube-2020 and TikTok-2020 on the same day for a person from the early 2000s.
People who a year earlier saw the almost unthinkable happen - the collapse of their superpower, are now not surprised by anything and weakly question this "annexation".
In addition, the mass consciousness is bombarded with various myths. For example, about a miraculous superweapon - explosives based on red mercury, as well as ampoules capable of putting an entire multi-story building to sleep and psychotronic weapons based on infrasound. These myths are not the work of the Rockwell Foundation - they are just a background. Sometimes such a background helps.
The region is plunging into genuine madness. Rockwell's people get a foothold from which they can export civil disobedience and a strike movement throughout the country. Thus, a lever, if not of control, then of blackmail, has been created. Created quickly and cheaply. Moscow is confused. The official US prefers to keep silent as long as possible – they absolutely do not need an international scandal, especially against the background of normalizing relations with the new post-Soviet Russia.
The CIA agent embedded in Rockwell's group can influence the situation only to a limited extent – sending readings to Langley and the NSA.
MiG-131s circle over the region, shaking the atmosphere with their booms. The super-planes, created as a response to the SDI program, formally conduct radio and photo reconnaissance. In fact, the pilots, overwhelmed by a sense of resentment, are perfectly aware that the real goal is to shoot down at least one SR-71, which, in the opinion of the strategic forces command, will inevitably invade with its spy mission.
In general, it should be hot. However, all the fun is interrupted – who do you think intervenes in the matter? Have you seen the movie Interstellar? There, a black hole saved everyone. It's almost the same here. Still mystical like in Wolfenstein-2009. Are you ready for this?
