Soviet Union 1991

(Third update)

"Pfft, what did you say? U.S. Ambassador Matlock was so angry that Shevardnadze was so angry that he fell to the ground with high blood pressure? And Shevardnadze also pretended that it had nothing to do with him. I'm sorry to introduce you. I laughed for a while. Hahahahaha~" Yanayev, who was eating lunch, almost spat out the meat he was chewing in his mouth when he heard the news.

He couldn't help but shake his head while laughing. He just asked Shevardnadze to delay, but he didn't let him send him to the hospital in such an angry manner. This is great. The Soviet Foreign Minister has successfully caused a diplomatic turmoil, and he will probably have to apologize in person in the end.

But it's quite pleasant to think about this kind of thing. Of course, I can only think about it in my heart, but I can't say it out loud.

Shevardnadze, who was summoned by Yanayev to report what happened, behaved very innocently. When he faced Yanayev's dumbfounding look, Shevardnadze shrugged and said helplessly, "I did follow the general secretary's words, but Matlock's aggressive look was really annoying, so I just Taught him a little lesson. Who knew Matlock had a medical condition?"

"Okay, okay, this matter is not your fault, Comrade Shevardnadze." Yanayev waved his hand, indicating that he should not pay too much attention, "We also generally understand the requirements of the United States. Matlock is just a tentative prelude. The real highlight is yet to come. If I If you guessed it right, Secretary of State Eagleberg will come to negotiate with us. The Americans will not just give in. They will definitely use other methods to get their submarines back. The secret of attack nuclear submarines is much more precious than human life."

Yanayev put down the tableware, picked up a tissue and wiped his lips, and then said slowly, "Losing the officers and soldiers of a submarine is just Black Friday. It would be a nightmare for us to discover the technical secrets of the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine. But Bush because of domestic Due to public opinion, we have to reluctantly choose military personnel first. It is simply a difficult choice.”

"But Bush's decision will become more difficult next time." Yanayev raised the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but want to see what wonderful expression Bush would have next.

A few days later, major news newspapers frantically reprinted the exclusive news published by newspapers owned by Columbia Television. According to reports. An American nuclear submarine sank in an accident in the Arctic Circle waters of the Soviet Union. In the end, the Soviet military rescued all the officers and soldiers in the submarine. However, the United States has been suppressing public opinion and trying to deceive the public regardless of the situation. Wallace also specially took photos of submarine officers and soldiers shivering at sea and them drinking red wine and tasting sturgeon at the Murmansk naval base. Photos of socializing with Soviet sailors were displayed as evidence against the government. In fact, even Wallace didn't notice that he helped the Soviet army create a positive image of propaganda.

The publication of the news caused an uproar in public opinion, and people accused the Bush administration of disregarding the life and death of soldiers. Even the long-suppressed Democratic Party has found an excuse to attack, dealing a fatal blow to the Republican Party in the months leading up to the presidential election. With the support of political figures, newspapers became more brazen in launching public attacks on the Republican Party.

Demonstrators crowded outside the White House. Protest the cruelty and inaction of the Bush administration. The words on their signs vary, but they all mean the same thing, our soldiers are going home!

Some newspapers linked the previous incident of Yanayev retrieving prisoners of war from Afghanistan to the Bush administration's inaction in rescue this time, and satirized that the free America's human rights problems are not as good as the Soviet Union, which is often exaggerated as an evil empire.

For this reason, Bush almost fell to the ground with anger. An incident that he always kept strictly confidential actually leaked secrets like this. Now it was too late to fix the situation. The more he thought about it, the more he became afraid. He was afraid that this report was carefully arranged by the Soviet Union. Countries on the other side of the Pacific have already taken repressive measures ahead of him.

It seems that it started when the crisis in the Arctic Ocean occurred. The United States was at a disadvantage step by step, but the Soviet Union did not miss the opportunity to suppress the United States, and even more outrageously wanted to force Bush's leadership position before the presidential election.

Thinking of this, President Bush really panicked.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Igor Berg embarked on a trip to Moscow to negotiate with the Soviets for the first time as a U.S. representative, succeeding U.S. Ambassador Matlock. From the first fight between Shevard Nazer and Matlock, it can be seen that the opponent is not an ordinary person. At least the diplomat is very good at Tai Chi.

After getting off the plane, the first thing Igorberg did was go straight to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. He first visited Ambassador Matlock, who was recuperating. Although the other party suffered a heavy blow. But it was not as if he was in despair, and the other party's good mental state also allowed Igorberg to settle down a little.

Matlock chatted word by word with Igorberg in front of the hospital bed. He smiled and said that he could finally escape from this hell. He had been suffering every day for the past few months. The conflicts between the United States and the Soviet Union during this period alone have exceeded the total of last year.

"I have never been so haggard, really, Igorberg." Matlock sighed, "I have nightmares every day, dreaming about a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, and then I become the forefront again. The situation is so tiring.”

After a pause, Matlock said with lingering fear, "I don't want to face Yanayev again. In my heart, he is a smiling devil and butcher. I have only seen those terrifying eyes in nightmares."

Igorberg paused while peeling the apple. He looked up and asked, "Is it really that scary?"

"Yes." Matlock nodded, "Especially when it comes to American diplomats, he always seems to have calculations and conspiracies in his smile. So you must be careful and don't be calculated by him. This is the most difficult Soviet government after Stalin, no one else."

Igorberg put the peeled apple in Matlock's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the Soviets will be defeated by all their conspiracies and tricks in the face of the powerful national strength of the United States."

"Alas, I hope so." Matlock said worriedly.

After seeing Matlock in the bed, Igorberg went to the Kremlin to meet Shevardnadze. This meeting was secret, so only the United States and the Soviet Union knew about each other's arrival. Igorberg traveled light and simple, accompanied only by a few guards, to the Kremlin to meet Shevardnadze.

When he was taken to Shevardnadze's office, Igorberg was somewhat surprised to find that in addition to Shevardnadze sitting in the office, there was another man with his back to him who was looking at the scenery outside the window, as if everything that happened in the room had nothing to do with him.

Igorberg shook hands with Shevardnadze in front of him generously and said in a friendly manner, "Hello, Minister Shevardnadze, I am Igorberg, Secretary of State of the United States."

"Hello, Secretary of State Igorberg, I am glad that you came all the way to Moscow." Shevardnadze said.

Even when talking to Shevardnadze, Igorberg's attention was occasionally focused on the man who was looking at the scenery outside the window. He finally couldn't help his curiosity and asked in a low voice, "Who is the one next to him?"

Shevardnadze blinked and said nothing. The figure behind him turned around to face Igorberg when he heard the other person asking him. However, when the other person and Igorberg stared at each other, Igorberg was stunned.

A gleam of light flashed from time to time in his deep eyes, and he exuded a very mysterious aura. Just as Matlock said, this was the most terrifying and elusive Soviet leader he had ever seen. He did not have Khrushchev's stubbornness, Brezhnev's arrogance, or Gorbachev's stupidity. His wisdom and cunning aura successfully wiped out those vulgar temperaments.

The most mysterious leader of the Soviet Union and the most terrible opponent of the US government.

"Hello, Secretary of State Igorberg, I am the President of the Soviet Union, Yanaev."

Yanaev extended a hand to Igorberg and said with a friendly smile. (To be continued.)
