Soviet Union 1991

First update

Washington never dreamed that the South African government would take the initiative to request them to help them support the current government in international public opinion. However, De Klerk seemed to have forgotten one thing. The current situation in South Africa is similar to the invasion of Panama and the invasion of Panama. Just like the Bay of Pigs incident, the current South African government is the target that the Americans want to attack.

However, the civil strife in South Africa obviously exceeded the imagination of the White House elites. Fueled by the two superpowers, armed conflicts broke out in the already turbulent South African society. Bloody battles began between whites and blacks, the government and the government. Contest. On the one hand, there is support for apartheid and white supremacy. On the one hand, they advocate equality for black people and violently seize power. The government is caught in the middle and becomes the target of attacks from both left and right.

The smoke of war is everywhere, and when conflicts erupt to an irreconcilable level, the massacre of civilians will begin. This was true of the Bosnian War, and so was the South African Civil War.

"But so far, South Africa's 90,000 armed forces are still in the hands of the South African government. It is only a matter of time to put down a rebellion." U.S. National Security Advisor Anthony Lake analyzed, "If you want to prevent the unrest in South Africa Maximize it, then we will renege on the deal with De Klerk, um, win over other United Nations countries to impose an embargo on South Africa, and then let the incident slowly unfold."

"Of course the turmoil cannot stop so quickly. All we have done is to make South Africa fall into the abyss of civil war." Mario's expression was a little serious, because once sanctions are imposed on South Africa, it is absolutely impossible for the government to do so in a short time. The rebellion was suppressed. This requires the United States to make a choice. The last words of National Advisor Lake became the key message for President Mario to make the final decision.

“Once a civil war breaks out in South Africa, the capital previously injected into South Africa from Europe and the United States will quickly withdraw from the country. This will have a huge impact on South Africa’s financial market and economic development, and may even directly lead to the collapse of Cape Town, the financial center. "Lake said, this is the most vicious point in the strategy he provided for the United States. "Sacrificing some trivial interests can bring greater profits. I think this deal is very cost-effective and is more conducive to a troubled South Africa. Our multinational groups control local economies."

"Very well, we will take part in the matter proposed by the United Nations and let the CIA operate. It will fan the flames across Africa." Civil war, this is a special gift given by the Americans to South Africa.

De Klerk's eagerly awaited news did not bring him peace, but fatal news. The United States changed its previous tone and began to accuse the South African government of violating humanitarianism. Violations of human rights. They will impose a no-fly zone and arms embargo on South Africa. What makes South Africa even more frightening is that this decision of the United States actually received strong support from the Soviet government. Both the United States and the Soviet Union had previously vowed to safeguard the interests of the South African government, but in the blink of an eye they chose to oppose it.

Yanayev issued a statement after the rebellion in the South African Free State, "The Soviet Union expresses its utmost sympathy for the South African people's resistance to tyranny and oppression. We will further pay attention to the development of the situation and express our support for the South African people's struggle for freedom and independence." The behavior shows affirmation and understanding, and we also hope that the government can make self-criticism and not try to challenge the people’s bottom line.”

When Yanayev issued this statement, he also provided more weapon support to the South African rebels, allowing them to go to the countryside and areas where the South African army's control was weak to mobilize the people to engage in guerrilla warfare. This is also the first time Yanayev has provided support to a country's political party after cutting off the export of revolution.

The Soviet Union did not urge the two sides to return to the negotiating table to resolve the issue as soon as possible, and their ambiguous attitude also expressed their views from the side. We take pleasure in South Africa's political situation, and don't think that we will help you when you are in the most difficult time. The Soviet Union has all the stones ready, just waiting to add insult to injury.

"The vote will now begin on the decision on civil unrest in the country of South Africa." at the United Nations meeting. Representatives of the five countries faced the screen and made their own choices.

In the United Nations Security Council's vote on the launch of a no-fly order and an arms embargo, except for China, which abstained from the vote, the Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom and France all unanimously voted in favor of the decision to target the South African government. . Like a rehearsed script, sanctions against the South African government were unanimously adopted. Obviously everyone hopes to push South Africa's civil strife into the abyss.

"The Soviet Union, the United States, Britain and France all betrayed us. These bastards played a trick on us! They had no intention of keeping their promises. And yet we still put our hope in these damn bastards!"

After seeing Mario and Yanayev's speeches on the TV, De Klerk couldn't help but throw the remote control to the ground angrily. He didn't expect that the United States and the Soviet Union actually had a deal behind the scenes, directly involving South Africa. . Now the South African government is facing internal and external troubles. Because the intervention of the United States and the Soviet Union not only failed to extinguish the armed rebellion burning in the Free State in South Africa, even the air force was directly paralyzed due to the no-fly order.

He slumped in his chair, looking at the reports on the table from all over the country. A series of armed struggles broke out directly because of the rebellion in the Free State. The extreme armed forces of the Boers in South Africa targeted all black people, seeing them as demons that disrupted the national order. And De Klerk's friend Mandela also betrayed him at this time, from peaceful demonstrations to sympathizing with armed riots to overthrow the government.

Although Mandela still maintained a non-violent and non-aligned attitude on the surface. But he also knew that the situation of reconciliation with the white government was gone forever. De Klerk tried every means to prevent the black people in South Africa from launching a rebellion and preventing the country from splitting. But he didn't expect to arouse the indignation of his own white people and lose the support of black people at the same time.

"Send all the troops to suppress it. The United States can no longer be counted on. South Africa's future depends on ourselves." Thinking of the permanent members of the United Nations who hid in the dark and watched the joke, De Klerk gnashed his teeth in hatred, "The opportunity has been given to you. Since you are merciless, let the South African army not be ungrateful."

Boers, blacks, these guys who disturbed the national order should all be taken out and shot! (To be continued.)
