Soviet Union 1991

Third update

The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier, which was originally responsible for monitoring the movements of the combined fleet, was urgently recalled and stationed along with the USS Independence aircraft carrier battle group off Taiwan waters to prevent the sudden intervention of Chinese troops from changing the situation.

At this time, the emergency lines of the White House and the Kremlin had not been in contact for several years. During the Bush era, Yanayev and Bush had occasionally communicated on certain issues, but in the more conservative and radical Mario era, , the White House and the Kremlin completely severed contact. The Arabian Sea crisis was the last contact between the two countries. Since then, the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union has turned from non-cooperation to cold violence.

At this time, Mario dialed the Kremlin's dedicated line again, which he was extremely reluctant to do. Because the United States has just lost face in a game. Now they have to negotiate and resolve matters with the top leader of the Soviet Union in a low voice. This is simply a violation of the dignity of a country's leader.

But in the view of national adviser Anthony, the United States' own interests are above all else. Even if it is a personal issue for the president, it must give in to the fundamental interests of the country.

At the same time, Dobrynin, who serves as a consultant on the world situation, is also analyzing the possibility of the breakdown of this negotiation to Yanayev. When he heard that the Nimitz was evacuated from the Pacific waters to Taiwan waters, he knew that the United States I chose to give in in this game. This made Yanayev, who had not shown a smile for several days, finally breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that it seemed that this confrontation that shocked the world had come to an end.

Yanayev breathed a sigh of relief, sat on his office chair, closed his eyes and muttered, "It is not easy to deal with this crisis. Not only must the main force of the Pacific Fleet be transferred to the south and follow the Chinese ships, but also The Northern Fleet also needs to fill the manpower gaps in Kamchatka Peninsula and the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. To prevent the American fleet from launching a sudden attack on us. Hell, even Germany and France are eager to take a piece of this crisis and have mobilized at least two divisions on the border between Germany and Poland. Are you so afraid that we will use this crisis to launch a war to unify Europe?”

"But your troop mobilization in Ukraine has indeed frightened the NATO allies. Even France, which has always been away from NATO military integration, has begun to seek dialogue." Dobrynin replied.

Yanayev threw the report on the European situation on the table and looked at every move of the European countries like a clown. Originally, they thought that the combined naval strength was not enough for the United States and China and the Soviet Union to retreat in this war. , I didn’t expect that the first one to be unable to withstand the pressure would be the United States.

The Soviet Union also had a share of credit behind this. Just when suspicions were thick in the Asia-Pacific region, Cuba was also deliberately making small moves to make the CIA aware of their actions. At the same time, under the instruction of the Central Committee of Moscow, the troops of the Ukrainian Military District A large-scale mobilization is underway, and the huge momentum has put NATO countries on alert, creating an illusion for everyone. The Soviet Union wanted to take advantage of this Asia-Pacific crisis to launch a war of aggression.

The Soviet Union and China could concentrate on dealing with the crisis in Taiwan, but President Mario had to worry about threats from the south and the Soviet Union's moves against European NATO countries. The US President must have also been troubled by these issues. The greater the small moves behind the Soviet Union, the harder it will be for the United States to concentrate on dealing with the Taiwan Strait crisis. Therefore, the final outcome is that the United States chooses to withdraw from this conflict, and China and the Soviet Union win with a slight advantage.

It can be said that without Yanayev's previous game under NATO, it would be difficult to say who would lose and who would win in the final outcome. As long as the United States continues to confront each other, the Soviet Union and China may finally admit defeat.

A rapid ringtone rang from the phone beside the bed, and Yanayev was stunned for a moment. This phone belonged to the secret negotiation route between China and the United States. Although it was not dismantled after the Arabian Sea crisis, it was left idle. Even Yanayev felt a little surprised when he heard the bell ringing. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the phone and said directly, "President Mario, what's the matter?"

"Of course there is something. It's about the Taiwan crisis. I think we should discuss with Moscow to end this ugly farce." Mario said hesitantly.

"Do you think this is a farce?" Yanayev's tone suddenly changed, "That's just your Cold War mentality, but I think this is a country protecting its sovereignty from interference from other countries. Is it Mario? The president thinks it’s wrong for a country to protect its territorial integrity?”

"That's not what I meant, Chairman Yanayev. I meant that the United States, China and the Soviet Union should take friendly consultation measures instead of choosing to fight in the Pacific. This will make it more difficult for us to resolve this conflict." Mali Austrian's tone clearly had a hint of flattery, and after hearing this, Yanayev made a V gesture to his colleagues around him.

Everyone cheered quietly, celebrating the Soviet Union's victory in this crisis.

"You'd better talk to the Chinese leaders about this matter in person, President Mario. The Soviet Union can only act as a middleman to help you connect. Oh no, with you so familiar with the situation, I think the Soviet Union can even omit the effort of matchmaking."

Yanayev retreated in order to advance. The more indifferent he showed, the more anxious President Mario became. Sure enough, the tone on the other end of the phone began to become urgent, "Oh, no, I didn't mean that. The Soviet Union and China Attitudes are equally important, and I think we should have a three-party meeting to jointly resolve Asia-Pacific affairs.”

"I will report this proposal to China, and the United States should also communicate more with the Chinese Embassy in the United States, so as to help resolve this crisis." Yanayev thought for a while and added, "Also, I advise you to put less thought into the Taiwan issue. Maintaining the status quo is the best choice. Whether it is covert action or open interference, you will violate their bottom line."

"Believe me, you have also experienced the Korean War and know how terrible this red republic is."

President Mario fell silent, and Yanayev continued, "So President Mario, you should think it over carefully. Do you want to reconcile or continue the war to the end?"

"I understand, Chairman Yanayev." After saying this, President Mario hung up the phone.

After Yanayev put down the microphone, he made an OK gesture to Dobrynin and said to everyone, "Okay, everyone can sleep well tonight."

"Has the United States finally given in?"

"Yes." Yanayev replied.

Dobrynin breathed a sigh of relief, but then he regained his spirits. For him, it was his home ground after the United States gave in. Now he was no longer a mouthpiece for the US-Soviet dialogue. Next, he had to lobby and face his former Western friends. In other words, retired government officials from the Reagan and Bush eras were all targets for Dobrynin to win over.

"It's up to you, Comrade Dobrynin. We have achieved a decisive victory, and the only thing left is the final statement from the United States." Yanayev patted Dobrynin on the shoulder, indicating that he attached great importance to this final negotiation.

Dobrynin always showed due confidence, just as he was calm and composed when dealing with the previous US-Soviet crisis. He was always able to easily maneuver between the United States and the Soviet Union and let the two countries reach a consensus, so this time was no exception for him.

Dobrynin nodded and said firmly, "Don't worry, General Secretary Yanayev, I will definitely complete this task."

(A small error in Chapter 458 and Chapter 459 has been corrected. There was a small mistake in one place. The nuclear submarine was accidentally written as a conventional type. In addition, the 4 was originally in conflict with the Chinese 037 type in the Vietnam War. This article changed it to 14 because of the plot. Although the 14 was mainly responsible for air combat missions in the early days, its aircraft guns could also attack the ground. Later, the 14d model had the ability to fight against the ground and was nicknamed the bomb cat, so there is no need to criticize it. 4 was retired in the late 1996. The first two chapters were slightly changed to pay tribute to its last mission.) (To be continued.)
