Soviet Union 1991

(There is only one update today, I wish you all a happy new year)

In the second week after the war broke out, the United Nations Security Council finally put a resolution on the Bosnian War on the parliamentary agenda. Just when the Security Council issued this decision, the Soviet Union suddenly stood up and issued an ambiguous war declaration. In its stance against the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it expresses sympathy for Serbia's actions in safeguarding national unity, and believes that they need to resolve this issue at the negotiating table with Croatia and the Muslim ethnic group.

In the eyes of uninformed people, they thought that the Soviet Union was making a statement to resolve the turmoil in East Asia. However, in the eyes of countries that knew that the Soviet Union provided arms and equipment to Serbia before the war broke out, this statement contained another layer of meaning. . So when Kozlovich, the Soviet representative to the United Nations, walked into the conference room, he was treated with meaningful looks from other countries.

Kozlovich is not afraid of the representatives of Western European countries. Moscow has already arranged everything. He just needs to rehearse according to the script. So after the meeting started, Kozlovic just waited quietly for representatives from other countries to speak first.

Sure enough, at the beginning, the representatives of Germany and France expounded the importance of peace in commonplace terms, and said that the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina was a racial war that violated humanitarianism and had a significant impact on world peace. Therefore, at the United Nations meeting, it was proposed to launch an economic blockade and military strikes against Serbia, which launched the war, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Germany and France focused on military strikes, believing that only military strikes could prevent the spread of the war. Other countries, especially those small countries whose internal affairs have been interfered by rogue powers, obviously have no interest in the arguments of Germany and France, and there are only a few voices of agreement.

Kozlovich listened impatiently as the representatives of France and Germany finished reading the manuscripts in their hands. When it was his turn to speak, Kozlovich, who did not bring any manuscripts, walked directly to the podium and addressed the people in the audience. The country representative on the Security Council said, "Germany and France have just explained most of our views very well, and I will just make a small addition here."

When I heard the Soviet representative say this. The representatives of Germany and France looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that the other party was not here to cause trouble today, but what Kozlovich said next made the faces of France and Germany gradually lose their composure.

"Although economic blockade and military strikes can very well prevent the situation from deteriorating, in the end this is just a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. As you know, Serbia and Croatia are almost in a feud now, even if we use rough means to temporarily Having suppressed the ethnic conflicts between the two countries, we cannot control whether they will continue to have a series of conflicts in the future.”

"Instead of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, we should use our brains at the negotiation table. Let the three tribes directly carve up the entire Bosnia and Herzegovina."

As soon as this statement came out, public opinion in the audience was in an uproar. The Soviet Union was the first to openly support different forces in splitting the country.

"What the hell is Kozlovic doing?" the French representative said with some confusion. Although France and Germany also believe that supporting national independence is the best choice for the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina, you, the Soviet Union, were the first to propose this plan from the beginning. Coming out, no matter how you look at it, there is a suspicion of being hand-picked.

"I'm sorry, Representative Kozlovic." The British raised his hand and asked. He took the lead in attacking the Soviet representative, "You proposed this plan so early, and in addition, you have previously provided military aid to the Republic of Serbia through some channels. Will you? Wouldn’t it give people the suspicion of colluding with other countries?”

The meaning of Kozlovic's words was unclear. How could representatives of other countries get hold of him? Kozlovic waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I didn't say that the Soviet Union would decree the partition of the Republic of Serbia." Bosnia and Herzegovina, I don’t mean anything like that, but if you ask, you must feel like asking me, right. Does Serbia support it? The Bosnian Serbs are now the ethnic group that controls 70% of the country's territory. How can we not support them? Moreover, the Bosnian Serb military aid you mentioned is completely fabricated. The Soviet Union will not risk it. "We risk violating international law to aid a country that does not benefit us."

"But you provided military assistance before the war started, which means you just stepped on a loophole in the law." The British representative retorted.

"I want to repeat that this is a normal military trade, not military aid. Are we Soviets masters of prophecy? Did we know that Bosnia and Herzegovina will launch a large-scale war? You are making rumors out of thin air, British representative. I don’t know who you heard this news from, but if you repeat it to him again, you are also responsible, you know?”

The British representative was speechless for the first time when he was retorted by Kozlovich. Every word of Kozlovich could not find a loophole for counterattack. How could a Soviet representative who was familiar with international diplomacy be caught by the other party in his cautious rhetoric?

"The above is a small suggestion put forward by our Soviet Union. Territorial disputes must be resolved through national self-determination, and regional ceasefire lines should be drawn based on the territory actually occupied in the war. If this fails, the United Nations will intervene militarily in Bosnia and Herzegovina."

On the surface, Kozlovic's statement may seem like a conciliation, but it is actually seeking the greatest interests for the Serbs. As long as they can firmly control 70% of the territory, then the rest Even if 30% is discarded, they will still be the final winners.

"I know it's hard for everyone here to accept this resolution, so I don't mind going back to discuss it." At this point, Kozlovic suddenly raised his voice a few notes, "But I also hope that everyone here knows that every second we discuss, there is an innocent Muslim, an innocent Croatian resident or an innocent Serbian civilian who died in the war. We can now sit with our legs crossed, drink coffee, and have a seemingly endless discussion. But do you know the pain of those who suffer in the war?"

"I think it's hard for the permanent members here to understand that kind of pain and despair, and the representatives of other members, especially those from Africa, the Middle East or South Asia, must have a deeper understanding of war than the guys who are pampered!" At this point, even Kozlovic himself was moved, not to mention the group of representatives who were silent in the audience.

Representatives from Britain, France, Germany and other countries were somewhat stunned. They did not expect that the Soviet Union, which had always solved problems with brutality, would use the emotional card to accuse European and American countries from a moral high ground, and successfully resonate with other countries.

"Peace belongs to all mankind, and hope belongs to the future. I hereby call on both sides to resolve the territorial dispute in a peaceful way, return to the negotiation table, and build a home together!"

As soon as Kozlovich finished speaking, the representatives of the Security Council countries in the audience suddenly stood up and gave Kozlovich the warmest applause. The remaining representatives of several other major European and American countries sat in their original places, looking a little embarrassed. (To be continued.)
