Soviet Union 1991

Second update

Making a deal with the Somali government can be said to be the most embarrassing act the United States has ever done. After negotiations, they agreed to release Aidid's prisoners of war and not conduct military operations in the Somali country. After receiving the guarantee, Aidid returned the American pilots captured by the militiamen, as well as the bodies of some rangers who had not come and taken away.

Although Director Woolsey made mistakes in Somalia's intelligence, this does not mean that the CIA's efficiency will be reduced. Especially after the Soviet Union left such obvious clues, the CIA successfully investigated the existing clues. to the South African MPs and unearthed the source of the Needle anti-aircraft missile.

"That batch of arms was originally evacuated from the Soviet Union by an international arms dealer named Victor and resold to the South African National Defense Force. Later, for unknown reasons, this batch of arms was transferred from the hands of the National Defense Force to the mercenary group, which is the eo Resource Cooperation Company. "Woolsey reported the CIA's findings to President Mario very efficiently.

"eo Resources Company can be said to be a dog raised by the Boer right-wing parliamentarians in South Africa. And just before the war started, the Soviet Union resold all the resources in Somalia to South Africa at incredibly low prices. It seems that even the Soviets They were forced to withdraw from the competition under pressure from South Africa.”

"Then the last obstacle to the South African parliamentarians is our troops stationed in South Africa. They want us to withdraw completely from Somalia so that we can fully take over our interests in South Africa. This conflict in Mogadishu just provides the opportunity for their plans. It's just a possibility," Woolsey replied. "Everyone knows the warlords in Somalia. We don't have anything as tall as an aircraft, so it's self-evident who these weapons are aimed at. If this conflict had not occurred, I believe they would have provided armored vehicles to the militias in Mogadishu. , or even anti-tank guns. By then... it is very likely that our soldiers will not only pay this price."

Think about the horrific casualties this raid will cause when a group of Mogadishu armed forces equipped with Dow anti-tank missiles and SAM anti-aircraft missiles face a U.S. military convoy whose firepower is far insufficient to support a war.

"Publish all the information." Mario opened his eyes, his blue pupils showing anger, "Publish all the information obtained by the CIA and publish it in the newspaper in the name of a newspaper reporter. I want that The Boers in Africa face the censure of the whole world.”

"I'll make arrangements immediately," Woolsey replied.

"Do you really think that giving up nuclear weapons can bring peace? We will never tolerate the emergence of countries that dare to challenge the power of the United States. They like to go against us, so now let South Africa be ready to accept U.S. sanctions."

Three days later, the inside story of dirty dealings between South African lawmakers and Somali warlords was published in the newspapers, with some data deliberately fabricated by the CIA. The public was led to mistakenly believe that this US military action was planned by South African government members. Soon public anger shifted from the government's operational mistakes to the South African Boers.

Subsequently, US President Mario held a press conference again to condemn the actions of the South African government. He said he would make South Africa pay for what he had done. Poor de Klerk was subjected to more severe economic sanctions and political isolation from the United States before he understood what was going on.

This time, the actions of the United States actually received support from the Soviet government. On the second day after the U.S. government imposed sanctions, the Soviet Union also reprinted and reported the secret transactions between the South African governments for the first time. But this time they didn't take the cynical approach. But from the standpoint of the United States, we sympathize with and accuse the South African government of violating peace.

This was also a signal sent by the Soviet government, suggesting that the U.S. government was willing to join forces with the United States to attack South Africa. After all, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. The Soviet Union could choose South Africa to be a friend, or it could choose to be friends with the United States.

After that, Yanayev received the presidential hotline from the White House, and Mario offered to join forces with the Soviet Union to sanction South Africa. In addition to political isolation and economic blockade, internal and external joint methods were also used to bring down South Africa. The internal method is to support the opposition, which both countries are well versed in.

"It is an established fact that Mandela, the savior of the South African people, came to power, so we might as well propose a deal with Mandela or with De Klerk." Mario said, "De Klerk wants to change the bad economic situation. situation. You must cooperate with us, not to mention the current collapse of the economy and the abolition of apartheid laws."

"Turn the blame on South African whites. Although we don't really like a group of black people in power, it is better than being controlled by a group of white people who want to develop nuclear weapons all day long. A country with potential is better, right?"

Ironically, Mandela's prison life was also thanks to the CIA, and even now his name is still on the United States' terrorist list. However, in order to deal with South Africa, which is unwilling to obey, Americans also have opportunities to cooperate even with terrorists in their eyes.

Yanayev certainly knew that this was just superficial rhetoric. Both the United States and the Soviet Union hoped that South Africa would fall into turmoil and collapse. But only Yanayev understood what would happen to South Africa under Mandela.

"It is in our interest to say that President Mario wants to see the two factions in chaos and struggle for a long time. A unified and ambitious South Africa is not in our interest." Yanaev replied, "It is better for us to add a straw. Let the South African government hand over those right-wing members of Congress and further damage their interests. What do you think will happen?"

"A coup?" President Mario replied in disbelief. He and Yanaev obviously guessed the same thing. The results considered by politicians at the highest level are always very different.

It can be said that South Africa has become an era of black rule. The Boer party, unwilling to fail, naturally wants to turn the tables. If all of them are forced into a desperate situation. Then it is very likely that a coup will break out in South Africa. On the one hand, there are white people who have mastered the armed forces, and on the other hand, there are black people who demand national equality in South Africa. Once a conflict is triggered, it will be a war that will drag the entire country into the abyss.

Anyway, for Yanaev, it doesn't matter whether a coup will break out. If there is no coup and Mandela smoothly transfers power, South Africa will never have a chance to rise again. If a coup takes place, the civil war in South Africa will split the entire country, but the latter outcome is more tragic than the former.

"Yes, there is a high possibility of a coup," Yanayev said while playing with a pen. In the mouths of the leaders of the two superpowers, overthrowing a country's regime is nothing more than a casual reshuffle of power. "Once a coup takes place, the situation in South Africa will develop in the direction we want to see. Even if there is no coup, it doesn't matter. After Mandela came to power, they had no choice but to improve relations with the West. Moreover, they are tired of the Boers' dream of developing nuclear weapons and becoming the most powerful country in Africa."

"But we can't act on a conjecture. It's too risky." President Mario shook his head. He only wanted to retaliate against the South African regime, unlike Yanayev, who was concerned about removing the entire roadblock in South Africa and allowing the Soviet Union's power to develop more unscrupulously in Africa.

"Opportunities and risks have the same probability. Although there are minor frictions in ideology between the United States and the Soviet Union, in the final analysis, we are all maintaining world order, aren't we?"

Yanayev put down the golden pen in his hand and answered in an unquestionable tone, "South Africa can only become more chaotic and will never have the opportunity to rise again."

Because the Soviet Union still wants to use terror and violence to control the entire Africa, it is better to use fear to make them bow down to the black people in Africa than to transform them with all the great and lofty ideals and beliefs.

We are never afraid of fear, because we create fear. (To be continued.)
