Soviet Union 1991

First update

"In order to gain an advantage during the Cold War, the Soviet Union almost built a hellish rocket force. President Constantinescu, can you imagine that one out of every five scientists was a missile missile expert? We have the ability to create hundreds of nuclear winters, long-range missiles, and intercontinental missiles that can destroy almost any continent, but now they can only be stored in warehouses waiting to rust because they have no opponents."

Yanaev narrowed his eyes, observing Constantinescu's expression, and said calmly, "Now, we plan to secretly sell nearly one-third of the weapons in this missile warehouse, and sell them at a low price!

"This is the gift we brought to Romania. Let me ask you, who among you doesn't want to become a powerful country in Eastern Europe? "

The Soviet Union's missile arsenal?

Constantinescu's eyes widened. This was the weapon Romania had always dreamed of. As a country with tight military budgets, a free lunch always makes people's eyes light up. What is an anti-missile system? Is there anything more exciting than having long-range missiles?

Looking at Constantinescu's expression, Yanaev tilted his head and glanced at Primakov standing next to him. The other party also nodded slightly, indicating that General Secretary Yanaev could proceed to the next step.

Primakov, who was carrying a briefcase, put the briefcase on the table in time. He opened the combination lock and placed some information inside.

Primakov handed the information temporarily translated into Romanian to Constantinescu. He pointed to the picture on it and said, "Long-range air-to-air missiles, long-range air-to-ground missiles, long-range anti-ship missiles, long-range air defense missiles, and long-range air-to-air missiles. These are the weapons that the Soviet Union is willing to sell. If Romania has any special needs, it can be raised to us. Of course, if Romania wants to buy land-based intercontinental missiles, the Soviet Union will carefully consider the price. As long as Romania can afford it. "

Yanaev had seen the greed in Constantinescu's eyes, and he smiled knowingly. Who doesn't want to obtain such terrible weapons and change the military strength with neighboring countries.

"Isn't the Soviet Union afraid that Romania will use long-range missiles to threaten the Soviet Union?" Constantinescu was a little puzzled. Why did the Soviet Union suddenly help Romania with military development so generously? It was simply crazy. Missile forces are the secret trump card of every superpower.

And it was sold at a low price. Even if Romania was to be won over, it didn't need to do this.

And at this time, the Romanian president was more like a gambler who was red-eyed. He didn't consider what the consequences would be if Romania had such weapons. Since Constantinescu was already standing on the edge of the cliff, Yanaev would go with the flow and send him off.

"Of course we have our reasons. Giving up, oh no, it should be said that Romania must postpone the establishment of cooperation with the United States on the anti-missile project. At least after the weapons sold to Romania by the Soviet Union were deployed in Romania, the anti-missile project could be carried out. And to show the Soviet Union's sincerity, we are willing to give Romania three Iskander missiles for free. "

Yanaev knocked on the table with his hand and emphasized to Constantinescu, "This is also the latest Iskander developed by the Soviet Union, which is specially used to deal with anti-missile systems."

Yanaev also emphasized the word "specially" to make Romania realize that the Soviet Union is developing weapons against anti-missile systems.

"Iskander? Is it the anti-anti-missile system weapon that the Soviet Union has been strongly recommending recently?" Constantinescu did not expect Yanaev to be so generous, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

The whole of Eastern Europe knows that the Iskander launch experiment directly caused Bulgaria to postpone cooperation with the United States, which is also the reason why other countries are afraid of the Soviet Union.

"Yes, this is the first condition we put forward. The second condition is that the Soviet Union is willing to sell SS-N-21 long-range cruise missiles, and it is a specially modified land-based version. I wonder what President Constantinescu thinks? "

When Yanaev threw out the SS-N-21 long-range cruise missile, Primakov, with a complicated expression, subconsciously turned his head to look at Yanaev. Yanaev stared at him closely, with his hands crossed to cover the corners of his mouth, while Primakov could clearly see the smile on Yanaev's mouth from the side. The SS-N-21 long-range cruise missile was obviously not on the sales list, and Yanaev's words were completely improvisation. Primakov thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized why Yanaev suddenly brought up the SS-N-21. This was simply a hot potato! Since the s-n-21 long-range cruise missile can strike European countries even faster than the former Soviet Union's strategic ballistic missiles, and unlike ballistic missiles, it can not be warned, the United States has included it in the framework of the ongoing negotiations with the former Soviet Union on the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. According to the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Short-Range Nuclear Weapons signed by the United States and the Soviet Union on December 8, 1987, the former Soviet Union's SSC-X-4 and the United States' BGM-109G Tomahawk land-launched cruise missiles and Pershing medium-range ballistic missiles were all destroyed within three years. However, since the ss-n-21 garnet missile is a multi-purpose cruise missile developed according to the principle of one missile with multiple types, it has a high degree of versatility in technology, so once needed, the sea-launched and air-launched models can be quickly refitted into land-launched models.

Now the SS-N-21 long-range cruise missile will be refitted into a land-launched model and then pretended to be sold to Romania. Once Constantinescu agreed to the sale to the Soviet Union, it was tantamount to lighting a fire under President Mario's seat, making the other party restless.

Who would believe that Romania purchased the Soviet SS-N-21 long-range cruise missile at a very low price? Any country would only think that Romania had come together with the Soviet Union and secretly deployed long-range missiles that threatened the entire Europe.

As a result, the Romanian president has no choice but to swallow the bitter pill.

"But wasn't this thing destroyed after it was included in the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty? Once the Soviet Union sold such a weapon to Romania, how would it face the accusations from the United States and NATO?" the Romanian president asked cautiously, and after his head was heated, The Romanian president, who is gradually regaining his senses, is still very sober.

Yanayev had already thought of countermeasures. He explained to Constantinescu, "There is no need to worry about this. We will sell the air-launched SS-N-21 cruise missiles to the Romanian Air Force and then dispatch them." Technical personnel and the necessary replacement parts and equipment will be provided, so that you can turn it into a land-launched SS-N-21 long-range cruise missile at any time. This plan is seamless and completely avoids the eyes of the Americans. "

Naturally, this kind of trick could not be hidden from the eyes of the CIA, but Yanayev wanted to make the Romanian president think that it could be hidden from the eyes of the Americans, so that the Soviet Union's fraud drama could continue.

Yanayev waved his arms, looking like an excellent product salesman. Even Primakov on the side was secretly amazed at Yanayev's ability to deceive. He raised his hand and looked at the dial. , only one hour passed from the moment he stepped into the conference room to the moment he took complete control of the situation.

In other words, it only took Yanayev an hour to make the Romanian president fall into a well-prepared trap.

"And considering the special characteristics of Romania, all missiles sold to the Romanian army will be sold at one-third of the price. In this way, the Romanian president does not have to worry about funding issues. This is the only time the Soviet Union sold it at a low price Missile, I hope President Constantinescu will seize this opportunity.”

Romania's economy has always been extremely poor. Even in the Warsaw Pact camp, it was just a laggard. Considering the funding problem, Yanayev gave him a 30% discount.

Of course, you can't buy the SS-N-21 long-range cruise missile at a 30% discount, but it is enough to fool the Romanians.

As long as Constantinescu nods in agreement, he will bear all the wrath of the United States.

Yanayev looked at the somewhat complacent President Constantinescu, and pretended to be kind and reminded him, "Soviet assistance has requirements, that is, from beginning to end, Romania must delay cooperation with the United States' anti-missile system."

"Of course there is no problem, General Secretary Yanayev."

Faced with such generosity from the Soviet Union, Constantinescu could almost laugh out loud in his dreams.

Unexpectedly, the Soviet Union dropped a hot potato without saying a word. (To be continued.)
