Soviet Union 1991

The control of military forces in other countries is equivalent to an act of invasion. In this way, even if Romania has a good reason, it is difficult to explain why its military personnel appeared on Soviet territory. The border troops, who had prepared a rescue plan by force, gave up the plan. If they openly robbed people on Soviet territory and caused casualties and failed to rescue them, it would be a war crime.

The only thing to blame is that they did not fully verify the identity of the other party in a hurry, and only relied on the intercom, the specific logo accessories they wore, and the verbal communication code to think that the other party was their own troops.

Originally, the Soviet army was going to cross the border directly to fight against Romania, which was intolerable, but in this way, he did not even have to bear the charge of starting the war first. This was completely self-inflicted. Thirty-eight Romanian soldiers were arrested within the Moldova border, which was enough to support Yanaev to start a war.

Yanaev did not return to Moscow. He watched every move of the border in Chisinau. Once the war started, this would be considered a front-line battlefield, but there was no army that could tear through the defense circle of the steel torrent and penetrate into this place.

Major General Frolov waved the telegram to Yanaev and said excitedly, "General Secretary Yanaev, good news, we have captured the soldiers who invaded Moldova. Now Romania has confirmed the crime of invading our territory. With just one order, our troops will immediately enter Romania and liberate Bucharest."

After enduring the ups and downs of a political clown for so long, we finally have a chance to retaliate against him.

And the Soviet Union's revenge is to beat the other side without any chance to fight back.

Yanaev's face was not filled with joy. He nodded and asked another question, "How is the Ministry of Internal Affairs preparing? Has the unrest in Moldova collapsed? Are there any forces that may pose a threat to the army? I don't want to see soldiers bleeding and sacrificing on the front line, but our logistics supply work cannot keep up due to the harassment of the guerrillas. The lessons of the Afghan war should not be repeated in Moldova."

Frolov seemed very confident. He patted the badge on his chest and assured the general secretary, "It's basically completed. There are still a small number of guys who are stubbornly resisting and will be handed over to the soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to carry out the cleanup. I guarantee with my reputation that there will be no logistical problems or mistakes in the attack. Now is the best opportunity to overthrow Constantinescu, General Secretary Yanaev. If we miss it, we will have no chance."

"Calm down, General Florov, I know you are excited, but there are some places that I need to think carefully about."

Yanaev held his chin with both hands and slowly thought about the pros and cons.

He had never considered taking Romania from the beginning, but just wanted to teach the other party a deep lesson and make them never dare to ask for a price on the issue of Moldova. Another point is to let Constantinescu's cabinet fall directly and establish a new pro-Soviet regime. After knowing all this, Voinea, who was imprisoned in prison, should have been eager to take action.

"Everything is going according to the original plan. Capture Bucharest and force the Romanian president to move. Then withdraw quickly and do not stay in Romania for one more minute. Our purpose is only to deter Eastern European countries, not to invade Eastern European countries."

The cost and cost of occupation are too high. Yanaev, who wanted to take a quick victory, quickly withdrew from Romania before the NATO army had time to fully react.

Frolov replied excitedly, "Yes, everything will be done according to Yanaev's instructions."

Constantinescu is now going crazy. The evacuation mission originally carried out according to the plan turned into an invasion because of the kindness of a fool. If possible, he must send the other party to the military court for a severe judgment. But now he can only watch the Soviet Union and think about how to explain his behavior to Moscow.

The Romanian Foreign Minister has been rejected by the Soviet Ambassador to Romania for the third time. The other party took a negative attitude to avoid this meeting.

The Kremlin was unusually calm. Constantinescu knew that Yanayev was planning some terrible conspiracy. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They would never let Romania go. When Moscow TV responded, it was too late. Constantinescu, who felt that the world was coming to an end, slumped on the sofa, waiting for the bell of the doomsday judgment to ring.

He did not seek help from the US Embassy, ​​but when the other party heard the whole story, he used perfunctory and vague words to prevaricate the Romanian Foreign Minister. He said that he needed to wait until the results of the White House's discussion came out before taking action.

However, the White House, which had already known what had happened, made a decision after a short one-hour meeting. The NATO joint forces would not clash with the Soviet army head-on, but would use political pressure to stop the Soviet offensive and get both sides to sit at the negotiation table to solve the problem as soon as possible. Unless Romania is really at the point of national collapse, it will take a wait-and-see attitude.

That is why the US ambassador used various excuses to prevaricate the other party, and even looked at the foreign minister with a sympathetic expression.

Why did he anger the crazy polar bear?

God always likes to close the window when he closes a door for you. Just when Constantinescu thought everything was over, he received a call from Yanayev.

The drowning man would struggle desperately if he grabbed the life-saving straw. He explained to Yanayev in a low voice that all this was just a misunderstanding. The soldiers did not know that it was the border of the Soviet Union at that time, so they mistook your soldiers for it. I thought they were soldiers returning from our exercises..."

Constantinescu told lies that even he would not believe. But Yanayev on the other side of the phone just smiled and said disdainfully, "Don't know? But that's not what your soldiers said when they asked for confessions. They admitted their crimes one by one. Since The President of Romania is still unwilling to admit his crime at this time, so forget it. Let’s see you on the battlefield. But let’s just say that I think Romania’s chance of defeating the Soviet Union is only 0.00001%, so either prepare a resignation speech and step down before becoming an iconic figure in Romanian history. Escape responsibility. Or take revenge from the Soviet Union."

Yanayev said coldly, "Just like the despicable things you did to Moldova."

"What do you want?"

Since Yanayev is still willing to call and negotiate with him, it means that the matter has not reached the point of no return.

"My demands are simple. First, release Voinea and all members of the Social Democratic Party. Second, dissolve the cabinet and the president announces his resignation. Third, Voinea comes to power and becomes the president of Romania."

Yanayev still regards military means as a last resort. If possible, he hopes to use negotiation to solve the problem.

However, Constantinescu would not agree to Yanayev's conditions. He could give up everything, but he could never give up rights.

Yanayev couldn't see the other person's expression, otherwise he would have felt so small. Constantinescu's face turned purple, and the veins on his left hand holding the phone were exposed. He roared angrily, "No, I don't care what methods you use, but I won't give in on this issue. What's the matter? No matter what, Romania will not succumb to violent politics. Don’t forget that NATO and the Eastern European Alliance are behind me!”

"tyranny?"

Yanayev’s ears are getting calluses from hearing these clichés that he has been saying for decades.

He picked his ears and said, "Only the people are qualified to judge whether it is tyranny, not you who open your mouth to slander. As for the background of Romania, do you still think that the Eastern European Union will stand behind you and support you now? Presumably in the future You have also been rejected by the U.S. Embassy. As for Bulgaria and Turkey, you can’t count on them.”

"Romania is now a dead end. If you have confidence in the army's armed forces, you can try it."

"On the European continent, there is no army worthy of the Soviet armed forces!"

"It has never happened since 1945." (To be continued.).
