Soviet Union 1991

Stoyanov and Cesaire were not as stupid as Mario imagined. They each had their own considerations.

First of all, Stoyanov did not have much good feelings towards the so-called Eastern European Union, and Bulgaria has always implemented a policy of pleasing both sides, conducting in-depth exchanges and cooperation with Western European countries in the economy, and conducting friendly exchanges with the Soviet Union on political and regional issues. In the case of shooting from both sides, try to avoid being involved in political conflicts.

Stoyanov turned a deaf ear to Mario's warning. From the perspective of political interests, they did not need to obey the other party's orders. Their neighbors were crazy and ambitious people who would destroy the world at the slightest disagreement. They did not question their determination at all because of the turmoil in 1991. If they knew that Bulgaria was also involved in this war, the Soviet Union would definitely expand the battlefield at all costs, and the army would move south from Romania to invade Bulgaria.

His inaction won Bulgaria an opportunity for peace and stability.

Moreover, Bulgaria, unlike Romania and Turkey, has special feelings for the Soviet Union. In modern times, they have always regarded Russia as the savior of the Slavs. The previous Tsarist Russia also regarded itself in this way. In modern times, many Bulgarian intellectuals were educated in Russia and carried out many such agitation activities.

In history, the Russian army once sent troops to Bulgaria to fight for independence, and many people died. There is also a statue of the liberator Tsar Alexander in Bulgaria, which has existed since the Warsaw Pact era. Bulgarians have a natural national sentiment for Russia, and Russia not only wants to "liberate the Slavs", but also dismember the old enemy Ottoman Turkey.

Moreover, even now, the Russians have always insisted on being the Third Rome, the successor of the old Zantine Empire, inciting the blood of the Slavic nation in unofficial occasions. After the slogan of European working class integration could not be realized, the importance of Pan-Slavic nationalism was reflected.

The previous Pan-Slavism in Russia has deviated from the spiritual essence of resistance, equality, unity and mutual benefit of the Slavic peoples pursued by the early Pan-Slavists. In the view of the Russian Pan-Slavists, Russia should be the ruler of all Slavs, not an equal communicator.

However, Yanayev proposed that Eastern European countries unite and develop together to deal with the threat from the West. In the early 1990s, there were few countries willing to accept the Soviet Union's statement, but as more people saw the face of the Western European robbers, some of the original Eastern European countries began to move closer to the Soviet Union, and Yanayev did not show the arrogance of other Russian leaders, but humbly sought common cooperation.

In his view, it is very stupid to forcefully act as a leader. Even if the Soviet Union has such ambitions, its economic strength cannot keep up. He will not do the things that the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance has raised a group of ungrateful people.

The Soviet Union is now a degenerate Soviet revisionist in the eyes of some ** countries. Since the emergence of finance and markets on Soviet land, some staunch internationalists believe that they have changed. But Yanayev was proud that he had never given up the eight-hour work system that he had pursued at the beginning in the economic lifeline industries controlled by certain countries.

Moreover, it was a pipe dream for Bulgaria to cooperate with Turkey, which had a feud and new hatred. Their hatred for Turkey mainly focused on the historical use of Christian Bulgarians as serfs, the infamous blood tribute, the forced use of Christian children as lifelong Yanesari guards, and certain privileges of Islam. The brutal massacre of Bulgarians by modern Turks, especially the semi-regular army of Bashibazuk, was also one aspect. After 1880, Eastern Rumelia was still governed by officials stationed by the Ottoman Empire, and the management was absolutely oriented towards the Turkish people. The Bulgarians held a secret uprising, but it was discovered by the Ottomans. Therefore, the uprising was brutally suppressed, and a large number of Bulgarians were massacred by the Turks. The feud and blood hatred continued, and there was no end to it.

In modern times, most of these historical issues have been transformed into national sentiments, and then various radical nationalisms have emerged. In the 1980s, the Bulgarian government brutally suppressed the Turks and brutally massacred the Turks who refused to transform into the Bulgarian nation and forcibly changed their identity to the Slavic nation.

So Stoyanov seemed fearless about the Soviet attack. Romania had offended the Soviet Union politically, and Turkey and the Soviet Union were originally enemies. Only Bulgaria, which has always been pro-Slavic, can still rely on the West without fear even after the failure of the Eastern European Union.

The presidential assistant came in and reported the news to him, "Turkish Ambassador Mustafa wants to see you, President Stoyanov."

Stoyanov was a little surprised by Turkey's reception at this time, but he could generally guess what the other party was thinking. Nodded and said, "I know, you go and get busy first."

Meeting the Turkish ambassador was the last thing Stoyanov wanted to do. Romania and Turkey are the same kind of people, and Bulgaria just wants to fish in troubled waters.

"Ambassador Mustafa is meeting us now. Isn't he here for Romania's problem?"

Stoyanov did not talk nonsense to the other party and stated his opinion concisely and clearly, "If the Romanian issue arises, then Bulgaria has nothing to say. We have always adhered to the principle of non-interference. If you want to invade Romania, you can, But your air force should not pass over Bulgarian territory. Oh, and your ground armed forces will not be lent to you."

"If you want to fight the Slavic peoples, you must first pass through Bulgaria."

Mustafa was shocked by Stoyanov's performance. This was completely an act of cheating. He warned the other side indirectly, "If Bulgaria stands on the same side as the Soviets, you will be regarded as an enemy of Romania and the United States."

Regarding Mustafa's threat, Stoyanov smiled contemptuously and refuted the opponent's point of view, "We have heard many words about enemies of the free world before, but when it comes to anti-Turkey and anti-Muslin, Bulgaria It will never stop, we have been doing this since the 80s. The national issue between Bulgarians and Turks will always come first and this will not change. It is a big mistake if you think that you can get over it through political issues. Very wrong."

"Do you still remember how the Bulgarians treated the Turks?"

In 1984, the Bulgarian government launched a policy of assimilating not only the Turks, but all Muslims. At this time, 900,000 Turks had been forced to change their names to Slavic names, because national law stipulates that those who do not change their names are committing "crimes against the people", so no one should risk the world's disapproval to resist Pan-Slavic integration.

At that time, in order to completely assimilate the Turkish people, the Bulgarian government also introduced an adoption law to encourage Turkish people to adopt Bulgarian children with preferential treatment.

The Standing Committee of the Bulgarian People's Congress voted to adopt "the policy of unifying and including Bulgarian Turks into the socialist family for the purpose of reviving Bulgarian socialism and democracy." This grand plan includes: Turks and Muslin must be unified to change their names to Slavic; they are not allowed to wear Turkish national costumes on the streets; they are prohibited from using the Turkish language; mosques are to be demolished or used for other purposes. In just a few days, the spirit was implemented at the grassroots level of government, and the Turkish people were severely affected. Even the Imaret Steaming Temple, which has long been sacred, was used as a garbage disposal plant.

No wonder even Yanayev praised Bulgaria as the only Eastern European nation that has retained its blood. The only regret is that the turmoil in the late 1980s prevented this great plan from becoming a reality.

Bulgaria's idea of ​​a unified nation has not been given up even after the Turks became the fourth largest political party in the country.

That's why Stoyanov sneered at Mustafa's proposal.

"We are not at all interested in the so-called Romanian incident."

Stoyanov crossed his legs and said, "But we are very interested in the deep hatred left over from previous history. Even more than the interest entanglements brought to us by the Eastern European Alliance."

This move guaranteed Yanayev's next battle in Romania.

Mustafa was speechless.

"Please go back, Turkish Ambassador. Please go back and tell President Cezer that Bulgaria will not join this war and will not let Turkey join. If you are invited, Bulgaria will form an alliance with Greece."

Stoyanov put on a scoundrel look, "It's not my fault, but it's the Ottoman Empire that was so desperate back then that it offended almost all countries today. If you want a war, start with Bulgaria's Step over the corpse. The Bulgarians don't care whether Romania will eventually fall, but if Turkey wants to interfere, we will fight to the last man to stop your progress."

Stoyanov showed a seriousness never seen before in the Eastern European Conference.

Romania can perish, and whether Eastern Europe will once again become the possession of the Soviet Union is none of Stoyanov's business, because Bulgaria is originally a "traitor" lurking in the entire alliance.

The only thing he cares about is whether Türkiye will fish in troubled waters. He has not forgotten Türkiye's ambition to regain the glory of the Ottoman Empire. Bulgaria has to drag the opponent down even if it has to shoulder everything.

At the most critical moment, Bulgaria sided with the Soviet Union.

Eastern Europe can lose.

Türkiye must die! (To be continued.)
