Soviet Union 1991

(The chapter name of the previous chapter was wrong, and I am contacting the editor to change it)

"Not only that, the Soviet Union is also willing to donate the Su-17m4 fighter jets originally deployed in Eastern Europe to the Romanian Air Force. This will completely change the military strength of the Romanian Air Force. Well... is one Su-17m4 flying group enough to complete the Romanian Air Force? ?" Yanayev asked casually.

Moreover, Primakov took over the words at the right time and sang along with Yanayev, "The Su-17m4 fighter jet is the first generation of digital combat aircraft in the history of the Soviet army. So far, it has been equipped with the prnk-54 navigation-attack system. As the core of a new generation of avionics, the system has digital The mission computer, navigation system and flight control system have also been updated, the nose has been replaced with a Maple-54 laser rangefinder and target indicator, and the ejection seat has been upgraded to a K-36dm that can carry a wide variety of ammunition. Perform conventional bombing, precision strikes, air defense suppression, reconnaissance and other missions.”

"Now the Romanian Air Force fighter jets are facing a situation of obsolescence and slow equipment replacement. The Su-17m4 can perform multiple tasks, which just alleviates the shortage of Romanian fighter jets."

Now that the request for the sale of SS-N-21 cruise missiles has been made, Yanayev took advantage of the situation and pushed the Su-17m4 fighter jet, which has always had a bad reputation, to Romania. Because the Romanian army is so poor and has a serious shortage of funds. The Romanian Air Force's MiG-21 and MiG fighter jets are almost on the verge of being scrapped and retired, and there are only 16 MiG-29 fighter jets. Moreover, when Romania was in the Warsaw Pact, it was a low-level combat country that could not afford bombers. The only bomber that year was the Chinese-made H-5.

Romania doesn’t understand what digitalization is anyway, and the seemingly “advanced” Su-17m4 is enough to make their eyes shine. After all, the evolution of the Air Force's level from the World War II-level H-5 to the Su-17m4 was enough to stun the Romanians. Yanayev sending Romania a mothballed Su-17m4 group for free is enough to change the structure of the Romanian Air Force.

Moreover, the Soviet army after digital reform has been irritating the nerves of Western countries. Now comes Romania, which undergoes digital reform and deploys long-range missiles? Britain, Germany and France are about to explode.

However, the "digitization" of the Su 17m4 is very different from the real digital fighters such as the Su 24m2 and Su 34. It can be said that they are worlds apart. Yanayev just threw some transitional combat products that were no longer needed as scrap metal to Romania. But in the eyes of Americans, Yanayev's actions have become an ulterior secret.

Who would do these thankless things when they are full? Doesn’t the Soviet Union have special ideas behind its almost selfless and vigorous efforts to arm the Romanian army? Moreover, based on Romania's geographical location and the false information that the KGB deliberately distributed to the CIA and MI6, Constantinescu was convicted of being a traitor to Western European forces.

What will happen when President Mario discovers that there is a traitor in the NATO reserve camp? Constantinescu will probably be gently cleared away by an angry President Mario.

"General Secretary Yanayev, I think now we can celebrate the friendship between Romania and the Soviet Union." Constantinescu walked to Yanayev in person and nodded to Yanayev to thank him.

However, Yanayev just glanced at him and said slowly, "I hope President Constantinescu can remember the promise between us that the Soviet Union will not treat its allies badly. Another thing is that we must not talk to the United States Mention the deal between us, do you understand?"

"Of course there is no problem, General Secretary Yanayev. Similarly, Romania will not betray our Soviet allies." Constantinescu did not see the flash in Yanayev's eyes when he shook hands with him. Too cunning. The Romanian president has fallen into a trap, just as Yanayev planned it on the presidential plane.

After the most critical first step was completed, Yanayev was ready to start the second step. The KGB and the Soviet propaganda department jointly created a campaign to make the Americans mistakenly believe that the Soviet Union was preparing to deploy long-range missiles in Romania.

After returning to the hotel where he was staying, Yanayev took off his tie and coat. He sat on the edge of the bed and dialed the Kremlin's secret line to inform Surkov of the situation.

"Yes, Romania has been tempted. The next step is the cooperation between your propaganda department and the KGB. Remember, you must make this drama look seamless and push Romania into a dead end without warning. "

A secret meeting just ended for Surkov. People came out of the conference room one after another, all with red and swollen eye circles and lack of sleep. Surkov was working hard for Yanayev's publicity plan. Urge the planning team to produce a satisfactory plan in one night.

The KGB and the Propaganda Department have now become Yanayev's secret external operations department. It is precisely because he knows the importance of controlling the high ground of public opinion that Surkov became the gray bishop of the Kremlin.

"The Soviet Propaganda Department has come up with a specific and feasible plan. We will let the Americans deal with their allies without anyone noticing. General Secretary Yanayev, maybe in a few days, The newspapers will publish the Americans’ plan to get rid of their allies.”

"Comrade Primakov, I still need your help."

After hanging up the phone, Yanayev turned around and said to Primakov who was standing beside the bed, "I hope you can meet with Romanian Deputy Defense Minister Stengurescu in private. Comrade Primakov will chat with him in private like chatting with a friend, and keep silent about other things."

"What's the point of doing this?" Primakov asked in confusion.

"Of course, do you think it's normal for a Soviet foreign policy adviser to chat with a stranger Deputy Defense Minister in private? What does this look like to Americans?" Yanayev paused in the middle of his speech, and Primakov took over his words naturally.

"It will make people think that this private meeting is actually a secret discussion between the two countries about some detailed issues. Even if someone asks about it afterwards, the other party will only answer that we were just chatting."

Primakov patted his thigh and instantly understood Yanayev's purpose. He continued with some surprise, "But how could the Americans believe that we were just chatting?"

"In this case, can Romania still be clean?" Yanayev leaned against the wall, staring at the marble pillars engraved with reliefs, and said slowly, "Romania has been completely dragged into the pit by us." (To be continued.)
