Soviet Union 1991

First update

As soon as Shevardnadze, the Soviet ambassador to the outside world, said this, the entire meeting fell silent. All the representatives sat in a circle on the round oak table. At this time, Li Daoyu and Warren looked at each other, not understanding Shevardnadze. What did Denazet have to say. ↑, He stood up and looked around. Shevardnadze was much younger than all the diplomats present, and both the Chinese representative and the American representative had much higher positions than him, the foreign minister. The former is a person on the Political Bureau list, and the other is a powerful figure in the State Council, but this does not mean that Shevardnadze has no say in this matter. The country he represents behind his back is far more profound than his status as foreign minister.

Shevardnadze took a deep breath and said unhurriedly, "First of all, the U.S. fleet will completely withdraw from the Pacific waters. When the U.S. fleet returns to Hawaii or Japan, then the Soviet Pacific Fleet of the Red Navy will also conduct exercises in the Pacific waters. We will also urge all countries’ armed forces to completely withdraw from Taiwan waters.”

U.S. Representative Warren frowned. Isn't this exactly the same as the independent handling policy proposed by the Chinese representative? He raised his question, "Wait a minute, Minister Shevardnadze, how will the Taiwan issue be solved next?"

Shevardnadze ignored Warren, but turned his head to look at Li Daoyu, and said word for word, "Secondly, regarding the Taiwan issue, we must maintain the status quo, neither force nor reunification, and use diplomatic pressure to force the Kuomintang Chairman Yan Li Zhengnan steps down, this is the second condition we put forward.”

Li Daoyu did not speak this time. According to the current development of the situation, Taiwan is a hot potato. Even if he can be successfully recovered, there are still a lot of remaining problems that need to be solved. According to the think tanks in the political office According to the statement, it is best for it to remain in a state of non-independence and discord. No one wants to see the Taiwan issue really fall into a hostile state of isolation from the international community.

"I agree with this statement." Li Daoyu suddenly said.

"I also agree with what Representative Shevardnadze said." Seeing that his mortal enemy has taken a step back, Warren has no excuse to continue to persist. Compared with now, stabilizing the situation in the Asia-Pacific as soon as possible is the top priority.

Warren raised his head and looked at Shevardnadze, who was several years younger than himself. This "cunning fox" who succeeded the previous foreign spokesperson knew how to deal with the United States. When the United States hopes that the Asia-Pacific region The Soviet Union was able to sneak in during the chaos, largely because the diplomatic department he led operated secretly.

The United States does not want to lose Japan, its largest ally in the Asia-Pacific.

Seeing that there were no objections from both sides, Shevardnadze made one last suggestion, "The third is to maintain a balance in the Asia-Pacific region and adopt a non-interference policy in the Asia-Pacific region."

Warren's expression turned gloomy. He looked at Li Daoyu, the special representative of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs next to him, but the other party's lips curved into a knowing smile. Everyone can see that the third clause is a negotiation condition prepared for the Soviet Union itself, because it sounds more like an open door policy, creating opportunities for the Soviet power to further intervene in the rapidly developing economic behemoth of the Asia-Pacific.

Now the Soviet Union is engaged in arms sales with Asia-Pacific countries such as Japan, South Korea and North Korea. Not only is it cooperating with Japan to develop the bastion system, but Sukhoi and Mikoyan are even actively participating in a fighter cooperation project with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in order to better to open up the Soviet Union’s arms sales market in the Asia-Pacific region.

The non-intervention policy obviously means that the United States has no right to interfere with all the Soviet Union's actions in the Asia-Pacific region. The United States remains opposed to this, and you have begun to win over my Asian allies. Isn't the United States still not involved?

In fact, since entering the economic crisis in 1991, the Japanese government has been wary of the United States. To a large extent, they believe that the American "Hiroshima Agreement" caused the crisis, and now Japanese Prime Minister Ryū Hashimoto Taro in US-Japan auto trade talks Chuuya has frequently shown a tough attitude, which means that the relationship between the two countries is quietly changing, especially after opening up the Soviet Union's electronic product market. Ryutaro Hashimoto believes that Japan needs to reduce its dependence on the United States. Deepen economic cooperation between China and the Soviet Union.

Because of the previous Soviet-Japanese trade agreement, the Soviet bastion system could successfully obtain orders from Japan. Shevardnadze proposed a non-interference policy at this time, just to continue to deepen the suspicion between the two countries.

"China agrees that Asia-Pacific issues belong to each country's own problems. We do not need to let non-Asian countries dictate their own internal affairs." Li Daoyu said, pointing to Sang Huai.

Warren was about to refute when he suddenly realized something very important. Any agreement reached in this tripartite talk could originally be implemented with the consent of both parties, which means that the United States is now on a very disadvantageous side. , the Soviet Union can favor China, and China can also favor the Soviet Union on this issue, so the United States is just a victim.

"I don't agree with this approach. The United States must safeguard its interests in the Asia-Pacific, so I think there is no need to continue this negotiation."

Warren took a resolute and decisive approach to withdraw from the talks. He said to Shevardnadze and Li Daoyu, "Perhaps the United States can consider accepting the opinions put forward by the Chinese side, but we absolutely cannot accept the third point given by the Soviet side. Goodbye, both of you."

After saying that, he stood up and left, walked out of the door of the conference room without saying a word, leaving a room full of people standing there in a state of confusion.

Warren was a little furious when he walked out of the conference room. No one had ever seen a country's Secretary of State so angry during the talks. Li Daoyu breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head and asked Shevardnadze, "It seems that your goal has not been achieved. It is not an easy thing to intervene in Japan now."

"Is it really appropriate to discuss this issue less than 30 seconds after our common enemy left?" Shevardnadze said half-jokingly. He didn't mind that China saw through the Soviet conspiracy at all. After all, China would not only not prevent exchanges between the Soviet Union and Japan, but would also vigorously match economic exchanges between the two countries.

After all, the United States is oppressing an economic power that wants to become a political power, a rapidly developing Oriental dragon, and a red giant bear that is hostile and blockaded. Under President Mario's tough policy, the three countries have a tendency to form an alliance.

"Our competition with the Americans has only just begun." Shevardnadze scratched his head. Warren's reaction did not surprise him. After all, this was the first time the Soviet Union had tested his reaction with the United States.

"I believe that the Americans will definitely be much tougher on the Japanese issue than they are now." Li Daoyu sighed. He could even imagine what kind of difficult situation Japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto would face next.

"Yes, but the tougher the attitude, the more it inspires the determination of the Japanese and Chinese governments to fight the United States to the end." Shevardnadze turned around, looked at Li Daoyu who was a little confused, and said with a smile, "Because these Japanese do not want to become vassals of the United States."

"So?" Li Daoyu asked.

"So this is another reason why I attended this meeting." Shevardnadze looked around. Fortunately, all the translators and clerical staff were no longer in the conference room. He dared to boldly say what the Moscow high-level officials ordered him to tell the Chinese side.

"On the issue of Japan, we hope that the Chinese side can reach a consensus. Minister Li Daoyu is requested to convey Moscow's ideas to the Beijing high-level officials." Shevardnadze revealed the Soviet Union's little secret. The purpose of the tripartite alliance plan that Yanayev tried every means to implement was to prepare for the regional economic crisis in Asia in the next two years.

"No problem, I will tell Beijing." Li Daoyu replied affirmatively. (To be continued.)
