Soviet Union 1991

Fourth update

Yanaev returned from England exhausted, and of course he also brought back remarkable negotiation results. In addition to resolving a nuclear power plant renovation project worth nearly $100 million with the UK, there are also a series of commodity cooperation projects, giving the British the greatest policy benefits, as long as their products can fill the Soviet market.

Of course, Yanaev's policy is not only aimed at Britain, but also effective for other countries. Just like the red capitalists who came from the United States when Lenin was preparing to implement the New Economic Policy, he hopes to attract the attention of those investors through this policy. Anyway, the Soviet Union's heavy industry is in the hands of the government, and the marketization of those light industrial products can break the original shackles and revitalize.

At least Yanaev's economic policy ideas can be connected with the great mentor Lenin, and the Soviet Union can use the commodity economy to carry out the great socialist construction. At the same time, marketization has also had a certain impact on the rigid constitution of the Soviet Union. In addition to the soldiers who were sent overseas to perform dangerous tasks, the vast majority of soldiers who were restored to civilian status were actively guided by the state to enter factories and companies founded by Western capitalists.

This is also the situation Yanayev hopes to see. It not only solves the problem of soldiers not being able to find jobs after retirement, but also provides labor for the development of industry. It's a pity that Hammer, an old friend of the Soviet people, died in 1990, otherwise Yanayev might really talk to him about whether he is interested in doing business with us.

When the Soviet Union collapsed, the soldiers who could not receive their salaries either joined gangs and participated in drug smuggling, or joined the Chechen rebels and turned their guns against their former compatriots. Therefore, Yanayev also realized that if the issue of whether the disarmed soldiers should stay or go is not properly resolved, it is very likely to cause unrest and crisis in the future. So when Defense Minister Yazov was about to execute the disarmament order, Yanayev also specially found Yazov and told him his plan, at least he could kill two birds with one stone to solve the future troubles.

Yanayev also did not fall behind in foreign business. At least he decided to give De Klerk a big gift. All the mineral resources held by Somalia in Africa were transferred to South Africa. For this purpose, the Soviet Union also specially sent representatives to negotiate with the white right-wing members of the South African Parliament.

Although De Klerk supported the abolition of apartheid and tried to establish a peaceful and unified Africa. But this does not mean that there are no ambitious people in Africa who want to occupy the minerals of other countries. At least the right-wing parties in South Africa and the white people who support the apartheid system are still thinking about how to plunder the resources of other African countries.

"You mean the Soviet Union is willing to transfer Somalia's assets. And sell them to us at a reasonable price?" This is like a huge bargain for the right-wing members of South Africa. Faced with the aggressive posture of the Soviet Union, the radical part of them even tried to stop the Soviet invasion by violent means.

Of course, more people believe that South Africa and the Soviet Union are not matched in strength. Doing so will lead to a terrible result, that is, the permanent members of the Council, who were originally wary of them, will completely turn their faces.

"Of course. We are very willing to improve our cooperative relationship with South Africa. After all, we also have the same goal, which is to stop the war and contribute to the economic development of Africa." The Soviet representative crossed his hands and said with a smile. Of course, this was just a polite remark from his mouth. No matter what the facts were, he didn't think so in his heart.

The Soviet representative had to make a hypocritical explanation to hide the darker thoughts in his heart, "We know that if the Soviet Union and South Africa conflict over their interests in Africa, it will be a very embarrassing situation. Just like two arms dealers will never run out of bullets when they go to war. So why don't we just sit down and cooperate to discuss how to divide the big cake of Africa? War may make us lose everything, but cooperation can make both sides achieve satisfactory results."

The Soviet representative's deliberate weakness was very satisfactory to the South Africans, giving them the illusion that the Soviet Union's expansion in South Africa also depended on their face.

Previously, Victor provided a batch of needle-type air defense missiles to the Somali warlord Aidid, which were specifically used to target the US military's Mogadishu operation in July. Victor also tampered with this batch of arms. The launchers and missiles originated from the Soviet Union, but the customers who received the goods were the South African Defense Force.

At this time, the Soviet Union transferred the verbal agreement with Aidid to the South African government, and deliberately set a trap behind the scenes, waiting for the other party to dig a pit and jump into it. Anyway, the Soviet Union has not actually sent a company to Somalia to develop minerals, so he can push all this onto the South Africans.

Of course, South African lawmakers will not think so deeply. They will only think about how much lucrative profits Somalia's mineral resources can bring to themselves. But they did not expect that the US military's ground forces have begun to appear in Somalia now. Once they suffer heavy losses in Somalia, who will be the first to bear the brunt of the subsequent retaliation?

There is no doubt that South Africa has secured the top spot and become the first target of retaliation by the United States. Then Mandela came to power. How would this criminal in South Africa's history sell out South Africa to please the West? Yanayev has already calculated this step, and he doesn't mind using the small price of a few mines in exchange for huge profits for South Africa.

"This is the transfer price we offer. We have already paid the local militia for these minerals. So they are relatively safe. Of course, you'd better hire EO's security personnel to be responsible for local mining safety. After all, this is Africa. A turbulent country."

"The transfer fee for each mineral is 50,000 US dollars, and we will not harm our allies. Of course, I think South Africa has already inquired about these minerals, right? The gold and diamonds produced in them are far more than this price."

"Of course, we are also very clear about the value of these mineral resources." The South African congressman nodded. He was not worried that he would be deceived. In fact, they had sent people to explore the mineral resources in Somalia a long time ago. The several minerals provided by the Soviet Union are all in areas rich in metal resources. The transfer fee of 50,000 US dollars is just a mosquito bite for them.

"If you can accept this price, let's sign it now?" The Soviet representative will put the contract in black and white on the table. As long as the South African parliamentarians sign their names on this paper, the matter will be settled.

The South Africans, who were overwhelmed by the interests, naturally signed their names on this contract. After signing, they still had an expression of "we are happy to cooperate", and they didn't know that they were sold and helped count the money. After the signing was completed, the Soviet representative picked up the briefcase, turned around and left without staying for a moment.

"Moscow has tried every means to set up such a big trap, just waiting for Mandela to fall into this trap when the South African regime changes. In such a trap, these bureaucrats and parliamentarians in South Africa have not considered the consequences of their actions."

He finally stopped at the gate and looked back at this white-ruled building. Maybe after a while, the owner here will be replaced by a group of stupid black people, and then South Africa will be completely dragged into the abyss.

After leaving the South African government building, Victor, as a representative of the Soviet Union, immediately went to the airport to take a plane to leave here. As an arms dealer who sells needle missiles to the Somali armed forces, he may also become a target of the CIA after the incident. So he will disappear again recently. This time Victor will go to South America, and after completing the last transaction with the Colombian drug lord, he will hide his identity in South America under the cover of the KGB until the storm passes.

Anyway, South Africa will attract hatred and bear most of the anger of the United States, and Yanayev also wants to see how Mandela will calm the anger of America in front of the furious Mario? (To be continued.)
