Soviet Union 1991
Main text Chapter 872 Scorched Earth Policy
Almost desperate news came from Sulina and overseas. First, there was a mutiny in Romania's only destroyer fleet. Captain Antonetta Sescu surrendered to the Black Sea Fleet, and turned his guns to attack the Danube Delta, using artillery fire. and missiles bombarded the entire port city that was blockaded by the military.
Later, with the assistance of the Soviet fleet, the rebellious Romanian fleet quickly took control of the port city. And as the rebel leader Antonetta Sescu proposed overthrowing Constantinescu's dictatorship, releasing the Social Democratic leader Voinea who was imprisoned in Bucharest prison, dissolving the Congress and holding new elections.
Is this simply a replica of the October Revolution?
Constantinescu was so angry that he almost couldn't stand still. He didn't expect that the navy was a bunch of unfamiliar wolves. But when the second news reached his ears, he fell off his seat. Stoyanov actually refused to send troops, and unceremoniously jumped to the side of the Soviet army. He also announced on the spot that he would only be on guard against Türkiye. It is none of his business what Bucharest will become, or whether Romania will fall in the end.
The plot changed so quickly that everyone was shocked. What happened?
The U.S. ambassador to Bulgaria asked for an audience several times, but was turned down. The other side does not want to dialogue with the United States at all on this issue.
Only Yanayev breathed a sigh of relief, and Bulgaria finally couldn't help but rebel. The traitor who was hiding too deeply turned the entire situation completely overturned. Creates opportunities for procrastination. Türkiye was firmly killed by Bulgarian and Greek troops, and Yanayev solved Türkiye's biggest crisis without spending a single soldier. As long as there were two pro-Soviet Eastern European (Central European) countries, the scrupulous Césaire would not dare to take action.
The Eastern European Union turned into a complete joke, and the three rebellious Eastern European countries eventually turned the situation into a fragmented situation.
German Chancellor Krenz had a theatrical attitude from the beginning. He never wanted to get involved in the messy political situation in Eastern Europe. Moreover, there was an unexplainable deal between Germany and the Soviet Union. He did not want to be involved in the Eastern European Union incident. This led to a direct fall between Germany and the Soviet Union.
Germany is suspected of taking advantage of the situation to provoke the United States and the Soviet Union into fighting each other, so the problems in Eastern Europe are not within the scope of Krenz's concern. Whether those Slavs live or die has nothing to do with them. Now it seems that unless the United States intervenes in the events in Eastern Europe, it will have absolutely no chance of making a comeback.
Romania's transportation hubs have been pockmarked by Soviet bombers, and a series of intelligence such as military airports, armored troop marching routes, camps, and logistical supplies have all been penetrated by the KGB. They are confidently waging a war of unilateral information transparency.
Sitting on the other side of Constantinescu's gambling table, Yanayev saw through all the tactics of the Romanian army. When they raised their heads, those invisible satellite systems had recorded their every move into the database.
Dead end.
Romania had no chance to make a comeback. On the third day of the war, Constantinescu felt unprecedentedly panicked. Bad news kept coming back to his desktop. Every telegram seemed shocking. The Soviet army was moving. Unrestrainedly eroding them, the ground forces seemed to have no interest in invading the territory. It was still the huge armored force on the border that restrained the actions of the Romanian tank troops, while the Sky Force bombed targets on the ground with confidence.
Soldiers are valuable and quick.
The dilly-dallying of the NATO coalition forces obviously does not want to get into the muddy waters of Romania. Moreover, President Mario is still hesitating whether to let NATO troops directly conflict with Soviet airborne troops. The vast majority of people in Congress were opposed to direct military confrontation with the Soviets.
After losing the cover of missiles, the air defense force with only anti-aircraft guns was stretched thin. The Soviet Union used several Su-34 bomber regiments and Su-27 fighter jets to use precision-guided bombs to create explosions and seas of fire at important coordinates in Romania. It was to force the army and create obstacles to block their advance. When their troops arrived, they were left with nothing but burning ruins.
"The 13th Motorized Rifle Regiment was wiped out in Galati. The Soviet army used a large number of bomber formations to carry out artillery fire coverage strikes, resulting in heavy casualties..."
"The 34th Tank Brigade was wiped out along the railway line in Slobozia. Every move of our troop movement routes was under the surveillance of Soviet satellites, high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, ground intelligence troops and unmanned reconnaissance drones."
"The 67th Mechanized Division suffered heavy casualties. They were ambushed by the Soviet army, resulting in the entire army being annihilated. This was the only army that could reach Romania within two days. The transportation arteries in other areas were blocked by the air force. It was a fatal blow and it was difficult to get to the capital in the first time.”
The troops that went to Bucharest from all directions to support them suffered devastating blows. It was obvious that the Soviet army did not want the help of reinforcements before Bucharest was captured. Basically all the military forces that can be mobilized in the Caucasus and Ukraine have been mobilized by Yanayev, and he will not give up until the last drop of Romania's blood is drained.
The grim facts were placed in front of Constantinescu. He did not expect that the Soviets were almost desperate to drag Romania into hell. Now we have to either flee or give up our position as president in exchange for the cessation of aggression.
Both options were literally killing him.
Giving up rights or giving up territorial integrity? Constantinescu felt unprecedented pressure.
In the end, it was not these external factors that made the camel fall in Eastern Europe, but the opposition hidden inside. The war on the front line was in full swing, but the Social Democratic Party, which had been suppressed before, took this opportunity to incite and encourage the people to oppose the current Romanian president and put all the faults on Constantinescu.
"A demonstration broke out in Bucharest, demanding that we immediately release the imprisoned Social Democratic Party members. This group of people may have armed riots."
After listening to the reports of others, Constantinescu just said vaguely with unclear meaning.
"Is it really the end of the world?"
Although he was unwilling, he did not expect the final outcome to be like this. Originally, he wanted to take the lead in getting rid of all the Social Democratic Party members in the cell once and for all, but Constantinescu was afraid that the subsequent counterattack would make him die without a burial place. Even Bucharest was already surrounded by enemies, and doing so would only cause complications.
It seems that the situation has run out, and even I can't change it.
"No."
He clenched his fists, and his dead eyes regained vitality. He remembered the conversation between US President Mario and himself. If the regime cannot be maintained in the end, then the best way is to move. Move to a relatively safe area, even if it creates a situation of confrontation between the two regimes, even if it ends up being a government in exile.
"I can't lose yet. I have the support of the Americans behind me. Even if I have to create a situation of confrontation between the regimes, I have to continue fighting."
Thinking of this, Constantinescu was ready to move the capital. If the 106th Airborne Division captured Dulaya and posed a fatal threat to Bucharest, Constantinescu would immediately move to the northwest to seek help from NATO forces as soon as possible.
The Soviet army could not be driven away, but at least the seeds of Romania had to be preserved.
He called his assistant and asked him to make a backup of all the information.
When the other party asked Constantinescu about his intentions, he just gave a concise and clear answer.
"Be prepared to relocate, and burn all important information if necessary."
"Also, help me contact the Ministry of Defense and tell them to come up with a scorched earth policy plan if the soldiers are at a disadvantage. Even if Bucharest falls, we will not leave them a complete city." (To be continued.)
