Soviet Union 1991

(First update)

After a heated exchange of words at the negotiation table, due to domestic pressure and the Soviet Union's control, the United States humiliatingly agreed to most of the Soviet Union's conditions for the first time, first paying all rescue costs, and then stopping the flow of weapons to the Chechen war zone. and military personnel support. The Chechnya incident is just a slippery slope. Anyway, the armed forces have lost all ability to resist, so there is no need for the West to continue to muddy the waters in this area. The gain outweighs the loss.

In order to promote a positive image of the Soviet Union in the world, according to Yanayev's instructions, all officers and soldiers received the best treatment at the naval base in Murmansk, without cruel imprisonment or round-the-clock torture by KGB agents. , there is only endless beef, sturgeon, and endless vodka.

A Navy sailor put his arms around the Soviet soldier's neck and said drunkenly, "Thank God, if my children weren't still in California, I really want to come here and enjoy life. Well, the other bad thing is that it's a little colder. I I’m starting to miss the sunshine in California.”

The Soviet soldier replied, "There are no classes among the people, my comrade. You are welcome in the Soviet Union, if you wish. The Russian people welcome their loyal friends with vodka."

"Hahahaha, you speak English so well, soldier. I must tell everyone when I go back that the Soviet Union is a friendly country, not the evil empire that the United States promotes. Long live friendship, cheers." The navy sailor raised it drunkenly The cup said to the other sailors who were also drinking and unconscious.

The accompanying Soviet officers just stood aside and watched all this with a sneer. These sailors were just used pawns to promote a positive image of the Soviet Union. Class friendship? Don’t be ridiculous, comrade, unless one day the North American continent is covered with red flags, let’s talk about the story about class friendship.

While the sailors were celebrating happily, only Captain Jones and Remus of the Baton Rouge were drinking and chatting in the same room, or rather arguing.

"I admit that you are indeed technically superior to me, Captain Remus." Jones raised a glass of wine and lightly touched the cup in Remus' hand. There was a sense of sympathy between the two. "But we have always been enemies and rivals, and the fact that the Baton Rouge is in your hands will not be hidden for long, unless you keep me imprisoned or let our crew disappear completely."

"We have never seized your country's submarines. They have sunk in the sea where they crashed." Remus took a sip of red wine and replied calmly, "Of course we will not take action against you, Captain Jones. You are The Soviet Union is a guest, not an enemy. Let’s leave those troublesome matters to the politicians and just be a pawn, okay?”

Jones was stunned for a moment, his angry expression flashed across his face, and he quickly calmed down again. He smiled and said, "Captain Remus is really wily."

"Each other, each other." Remus said with the same smile.

A few days later, the American officers and soldiers left the country where they had been living and sleeping for several days, and boarded a plane to return to the United States. They reluctantly looked at this snowy country for the last time, and then returned to the world of liberalism.

Almost as soon as I got off the plane. They were treated with countless spotlights by reporters just outside the airport. U.S. government officials were waiting for them and welcomed these heroes home with smiles.

Bush will not allow Democrats to continue bashing Republicans in newspapers. The Bush administration later changed its strategy. Since it could no longer suppress this incident, it might as well portray this group of people as heroes of the United States' resistance to evil tyranny and shift attention to the Soviet Union's own problems. Anyway, it’s not like the United States has never done this kind of thing.

For a while, articles such as "The Soviets abused our soldiers in the most cruel ways!" ”, “Those people may be sent to the new gulag”, “Hang in there, kid. The country and mother have not given up on you! "" and other tragic and inflammatory reports cover up the Bush administration's initial inaction in concealing the incident. Sure enough, the public's attention was attracted by these headlines. Slowly forgetting the expiration of the previous government.

For the US government, they do not need to restrict public opinion. Guiding and controlling public opinion is their best method. As a classic saying goes, "American politics is like a group of elites leading the entire country's pigs."

It's just that everything took a turn because of a small accident.

When a reporter from a pro-Republican newspaper asked a soldier whether he had been treated inhumanely in the Soviet Union, the sailor who didn't notice the look in his captain's eyes said loudly. "Abuse? Thank God it was the best time of my life. Delicious vodka, delicious beef and fresh sturgeon. I really suggest you guys should go to the Soviet Union and see it, the other side of the Pacific is not an evil place 's empire."

"You mean you were treated well and not a tortured hero as our government claims?" The reporter was slightly taken aback. Realizing that this was a good opportunity to dig up news, he quickly continued to ask.

What could be more valuable news than discovering that the government is deceiving the public?

"Yes, a world where everyone is truly equal." The soldier became excited as he spoke, and he continued to expose the news to the reporter, "What there is no human rights, that's all one-sided words from the West. We were treated well there. They didn't abuse us, and we lived very well in Murmansk. No wonder our former workers envied the Soviet Union, because there was no unemployment there!"

As soon as this was said, there was an uproar around, and the faces of the US government officials became extremely ugly. Seeing this, the companions around him hurriedly stopped the outspoken navy soldier, pulled him back to the team, and warned him not to talk nonsense. The soldier waved his hand innocently, "What I said is all true."

The navy's move further aroused the curiosity of the reporters. They squeezed forward and pointed the microphone at the soldier, wanting to continue to ask about the follow-up of the matter, but were blocked by government personnel.

"They need some time to face the public, please calm down." Faced with the dissatisfaction of the reporters, the US government officials came forward to explain, but his explanation was more like an excuse to add fuel to the fire. Reporters said that the government was lying and deceiving them, and the American people needed to know the truth!

A few days later, newspapers supporting the Democratic Party received photos sent from somewhere. Navy sailors celebrating with Soviet soldiers smiled happily at the camera. The scene of two soldiers from two camps who had been hostile to each other for decades shaking hands and getting along for the first time was as surprising as the scene of German and French soldiers celebrating the New Year together during World War I.

The lies of the Bush administration were also exposed because of this small accident.

Next came the media's overwhelming accusations. Democratic newspapers accused the Bush administration of covering up the truth and attempting to create a crisis of trust, while those originally neutral newspapers also began to accuse the Bush administration of not consuming its own soldiers and reaching their own unspeakable political secrets.

"They are ordinary soldiers, the sons of someone, the fathers of someone's children, not commodities that you politicians consume the public! We strongly protest the government's concealment of the truth!" The New York Daily News launched a severe protest to the Bush administration.

At this time, Bush and the Republican Party's approval ratings really hit the bottom, and those photos sent from Moscow became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Republican Party.

With the presidential election as a tombstone, Moscow dug a hole and the Democratic Party filled it. This carefully planned internal and external cooperation made Bush's last effort to restore the government's image go down the drain. When everyone in society was celebrating the return of the soldiers, only Bush was sad in his office. The situation is now obvious. He will have no chance to participate in the presidential election four months later.

"Damn Soviet Union! Damn Yanaev! I will make you pay the price!"

On this day, an angry roar came from the White House, which was chilling. (To be continued.)
