Soviet Union 1991

The changed timeline of 1992 ushered in the first major change, which was the election of the President of the United States. Although Bush is also actively seeking re-election, the failure of his diplomatic strategy in the past year has left his public support far behind other candidates, completely consuming all the popularity that Bush finally accumulated during the Gulf War. Moreover, the continued sluggishness of the domestic economy has also made the public increasingly dissatisfied with Bush.

The Vantaa incident, the Arctic crisis and the Soviet public opinion propaganda offensive had a profound impact on President Bush. Some people even directly called him the largest communist lurking in the United States and a traitor to the free world! The sharp decline in President Bush's popularity also gave the Democratic Party an opportunity. They actively sought to participate in the election and prepared to defeat George W. Bush in the new presidential election. The Republican Party has been in power for twelve consecutive years, and the Democratic Party is ambitious to defeat them this time and become the ruling party in one fell swoop.

This year's debate between the donkey and the elephant is full of gunpowder. Each candidate is accumulating strength and preparing to ascend to the honorary throne of the President of the United States.

Mario Guomo is undoubtedly the most popular Democratic presidential candidate. Compared with Clinton, another candidate competing within the party, members of the Democratic Party are also more optimistic about Mario than Clinton.

In this regard, the Soviet Union was also paying attention to the future direction of the United States. After previous political events, it was impossible for Bush to be re-elected, and the Republican Party's continued power was also in danger. This has led to a group of Democratic candidates eager to win the presidential election.

To this end, Yanayev also specially summoned the director of the First Bureau of Foreign Intelligence of the Soviet Union and American intelligence expert Chirkov to analyze the advantages and disadvantages between Mario and Clinton. Of course, Chirkov did not understand why Yanayev did not inquire about the relationship between Zongers and Mario, but directly asked Clinton, who had a relatively weak competitive advantage.

Chirkov was summoned to Yanayev's office. No one was present except the two of them. It could be said to be a secret meeting between the General Secretary and Chirkov.

"Generally speaking, Mario's advantage is far greater than that of Clinton. His reputation and connections within the Democratic Party are far greater than Clinton's. It can be said that as long as Mario is elected as the presidential candidate, then he will win if he competes with Bush on the same stage. The chances will increase a lot.”

Facing Yanayev alone, even Chirkov's hands, which had always been calm and steady, trembled slightly. He tried his best to calm down and continued. "On the one hand, the campaign slogans of Mario and Bush are somewhat similar. They are almost all focusing on foreign relations and trying to divert the domestic economic downturn through war. Only Clinton has proposed a campaign strategy that focuses on domestic issues. And this is also Clinton’s advantage.”

"Then it would be dangerous." Yanayev felt helpless. He had already changed the timeline of this world beyond recognition, but Mario actually proposed a campaign strategy for foreign policies. Did he ignore the poor domestic economy?

"The General Secretary also thinks there is something wrong with the campaign slogans of Mario and Bush?" Chirkov highlighted one word.

Yanayev nodded and drew a circle on Mario's photo, "Now that the U.S. economy is in a slump, people's attention will naturally turn to the economy. Whoever can give them bread will listen. Whoever it is, vote for him. Bush is too close to the political donor support groups behind him, so it is not surprising that he would say such a slogan. So what does Mario want to do? There are no defense companies or arms around him. With the support of a financial backer like the company, how can he be able to run for President Bush?”

“The best outcome is that Clinton is eliminated in the first round, leaving Bush and Mario to compete on the same stage, and the worst outcome is that neither of them is Clinton’s opponent, and the other party defeats them in just one round. Both fell to the ground."

"So no matter how you look at it, the loser of this election is probably Mario." Chirkov's analysis was clear and logical, and it was not far from Yanayev's guess. From a historical perspective, the most likely presidential candidate There are two people, Bush and Clinton. However, Clinton's voice in the later stage was obviously much higher than that of Bush.

"I want to hear what your intelligence department thinks about Mario." Yanayev felt that no matter what method. The so-called external environmental threats posed by Mario to the Soviet Union were much lighter than those of Clinton. The economy during Clinton's administration can be said to have taken off for eight years, laying the foundation for the subsequent expansion of the United States' claws across the world.

And a president who likes to continue to be militaristic may seem happy for a while, but in the long run it will cause a heavy blow to the U.S. economy. This is also what the Soviet Union, which cultivates its virtues and focuses on economic construction, wants to see.

"Mario Guomo is currently the governor of New York State. In foreign policy, he likes to promote the theory of Soviet threat and suppression of European allies. He has a relatively fiery personality, and his foreign policy views and methods are also relatively radical. In short, it is more like maintaining a great America. A national dictator with global interests. Judging from his campaign slogans, Mario’s methods may be more extreme than Bush’s.”

"It is for this reason that his votes in the elections have always been different from those of Bush and Clinton. His radical slogans have no effect in the depressed market. We guess this is why he is so popular in the party, but his actual votes are behind." Chirkov analyzed Mario's shortcomings and gaps for Yanaev.

Mario sounds like a replica of Trump. He doesn't look like a politician who can ease the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union. But Yanaev likes such people. Since you can't bring the US economy out of the downturn, then I will be a pusher and push the US economy into the abyss. No matter how strong the US economy is, it can't control the wars that have lasted for many years. The Vietnam War almost sent the United States into the abyss of economic collapse. If it weren't for the Reagan administration's efforts to turn the tide, the United States might have been greatly weakened after the war.

Now the Soviet Union has countless options in the Middle East, just waiting for the United States to jump in.

"That's him. The Soviet Foreign Intelligence Service tried every means to put him on the right track for the presidential election. We need this cute redneck who likes to engage in militarism to rule the United States. Can the Foreign Intelligence Service find a way to change his competition strategy? For example, change it to a slogan and strategy that is more in line with the national image?" Yanaev asked. Since Americans like to hear about revitalizing the domestic economy, let Mario say some slogans they like.

"Mr. President, in fact, we do have a department in the United States that influences the final presidential election. They are an investment group established in the United States. After identifying any potential target, they will invest a lot of money to support it." Deirkov has studied American politics and presidential elections for more than ten years, so he is very clear about the Americans' tricks. The so-called investment group was also established by Deirkov, but he never had the opportunity to implement his methods. This time, Yanaev and his ideas finally coincided.

"Very good, we just need to tailor a campaign strategy for Mario, and then try to make Mario agree to this strategy, that's the task." Yanayev patted Dai Erkov on the shoulder and said with a smile, "This is a glorious and arduous task, Comrade Dai Erkov."

"I will definitely not disappoint the expectations of the party and the country." Dai Erkov said excitedly.

"As long as we can become a political donation supporter of Mario, our agents will easily get in touch with Mario himself, and then we can come up with a set of slogans and strategies that will make him excited. As for convincing Mario himself, it depends on the ability of the agents, and as for whether Mario will successfully become the president of the United States in the end, it depends on the will of the people. The most we can do is to do our best and accept our destiny."

Yanayev suddenly felt a little fortunate and a little confused. If the congressional election can be manipulated in this way, then under the slight gap, the Soviet Union completely interfered with the presidential election through secret means. Then, are Bush Jr. and Obama in history really the biggest communist spies in the United States?

"I hope this redneck can be successfully elected as the president of the United States. Compared with Clinton, he is much cuter." (To be continued)
