Soviet Union 1991

Second update

At least Anthony Lake guessed half of it right. The purpose of the Soviet military march was not to intensify the conflict on the Korean Peninsula, but to maintain the stability of the Korean Peninsula. In fact, when Mario made the decision to sacrifice South Korea for the sake of Taiwan, it was already doomed that half of the Soviet plan would be realized.

However, the U.S. government still needs to show a certain stance on the South Korean issue. The White House spokesperson said that it will pay close attention to the dynamics between North Korea and South Korea to ensure stability and harmony between North Korea and South Korea. At the same time, a batch of military supplies were sent to South Korea to cope with the situation that may change at any time.

Yanayev breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the United States' statement was only about arms and not direct intervention. At least he made the right move. The United States is indeed so troubled by the Taiwan issue that it cannot spare any effort to suppress the arrogant Jin family. Before, they also emphasized that the Soviet Union's shabby ships had no impact on the situation in the entire strait. Now it seems that Mario has underestimated this temporarily formed aircraft carrier battle group.

Before a real war begins, military strength is always a bargaining chip used to increase threats. No matter how eye-catching the American Nimitz class is, it may end up being annihilated after the war begins.

Yanayev temporarily summoned Pavlov at the White House building in Moscow. As a comrade in the August 19th and a member of Yanayev's political think tank, he now needs Pavlov to complete one thing. This is also a key step for Yanayev to further profit from the chaotic Asia-Pacific situation.

There are also rocket launchers against South Korean warships.

"South Korean President Kim Young-sam has just accepted a batch of military equipment from the United States. How could he be willing to accept military equipment from the Soviet Union again? They are not fools. General Secretary Yanayev, now is not the best time. Think about it and know that South Korea will not Maybe you can accept our suggestion." Pavlov found Yanayev's plan to march unbelievable and even considered it a fantasy. Allowing South Korea, which is loyal to the United States, to accept the Soviet military, is tantamount to allowing the United States to choose to withdraw from the competition. Moreover, South Korea's economic growth has slowed down significantly since 1992. In 1991, the economic growth rate was only 4.7%, the lowest level in 13 years, ranking last among the Four Asian Tigers. Under such economic conditions, it is naturally impossible for the South Korean president to accept a batch of Soviet-made weapons.

Previously, the Soviet government single-handedly planned the conflict between North Korea and South Korea, donated some T55 tanks in stock to North Korea for free, and then encouraged the North Korean government forces to exert border pressure on South Korea behind the scenes, until Kim Young-sam worriedly ran to the United States for assistance and refused.

When the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group did not head to the Korean Peninsula, Yanayev believed that the most suitable time to launch an attack on South Korea had arrived.

"But don't forget that North Korea now has a dog in the hands of China and the Soviet Union, and this dog is obviously much more vicious than the one in the hands of the United States. For example, the one in the hands of the United States can only be regarded as a Chihuahua, and the one in our hands is But it’s the bull terrier that can growl at the chihuahua for days if we give it a bone.”

Yanayev continued, "And now that the Americans have temporarily abandoned the Korean Peninsula for the Taiwan issue, it means that Kim Young Sam has no way out. Either wait for us to loosen the iron chain and let the Korean People's Army march in, or rise up to resist , but before he accepts American mediation, North Korea may move south at any time.”

"At this time, the attitudes of China and the Soviet Union became crucial to South Korea. So if Kim Young Sam wants to keep his position, besides cooperating with the Soviet Union, does he have any other choice?"

Pavlov understood, "The only requirement for cooperation with the Soviet Union is to use this crisis to open South Korea's arms market? They have already sent a Kiev-class aircraft carrier to the Soviet Union before. I think for this reason, South Korea at least will not would reject the Soviet Union's request."

Yanayev corrected Pavlov's statement, "To put it more precisely, as South Korea is surrounded by big powers, they have no room to refuse. If South Korea chooses to refuse, we are likely to let the North Korean people The army goes south. Of course, Kim Young-sam can choose to take this risk and bet on whether the Korean People's Army will go south. But I think the South Korean side? We should not be willing to take this risk. Let alone the position of the Four Asian Tigers, we may be wiped off the map by the northern regime. Even if there is a war on the Korean Peninsula, I think South Korea cannot afford this price. The economic miracle that took nearly 40 years to create was wiped out by a war? I guess North Korea can laugh at it even in its dreams.”

"I see, this is the purpose of the Soviet Union's visit to South Korea, isn't it?" Pavlov breathed out. As the country's prime minister, he traveled abroad much more often than during the Gor-Bachov era. , and most of the time they are bargaining and concluding various economic covenants.

Compared with the previous Soviet leader, Yanayev's methods and courage were not comparable to Goslavsky's. What's more, he changed the rough and even hasty plans of the previous Soviet leaders. On the contrary, the conspiracy and conspiracy policy made the Soviet Union more flexible on certain delicate issues.

"Violence is indeed the most direct means to solve the problem, but it is not the best means." Yanayev pushed his glasses with his index finger. "The Soviet Union, the United States, China, and Japan all know that there must not be another large-scale, comprehensive conflict on the Korean Peninsula. So everyone is carefully maintaining a balanced situation. However, the US approach is more inclined to the conservative bureaucracy. They believe that as long as there is no conflict on the Korean Peninsula, the United States does not need to intervene in this place. On the contrary, we don't think so. Only by using the international situation to provoke a conflict between the two countries can we seek the interests we need in South Korea and North Korea."

"If a conflict really breaks out, how will it end?" Pavlov has also thought about this issue of playing with fire on the edge of a knife for a long time. At least he is not as optimistic as Yanayev on the North Korean issue. North Korea has been an unstable factor in the Asia-Pacific region since World War II.

"Just tighten the rope. There are pro-Soviet factions in North Korea. Are they absolutely loyal to the Kim family? Don't be ridiculous. Even the top leaders of the North Korean government have differences on certain issues. Although they are known as the iron torrent of the Korean Peninsula, how much trouble can a country with military strength that remains in the 1950s and 1960s stir up?" (To be continued.)
