Soviet Union 1991

A piece of intelligence was handed to the Secretary of Defense. Perry, who was chatting and laughing, took a few glances at the telegram. ?The smile on his face was immediately suppressed. He stared at it with a solemn expression for a long time, and even wiped his eyes to prevent his old eyes from seeing wrongly. After confirming that the intelligence information was correct, he immediately stood up and walked towards President Mario's White House.

He must report the intelligence back to President Mario and then convene an emergency meeting.

At the same time, there was also a trace of expectation in my heart, because what I was looking forward to finally happened. When feeding back intelligence to President Mario, he deliberately ignored some important information. For example, regarding the secret troops transported from Bucharest to the front line, this piece of information was blurred by the Ministry of Defense.

Once President Mario submits a military action plan, NATO will take action immediately. At that time, the Ministry of National Defense will have an excuse to organize a permanent force in Eastern Europe to maintain the idea of ​​military expansion. Secretary of Defense Perry’s thoughts represent the psyche of those hawks.

Perry's expression never relaxed for a moment after receiving the information. What he was thinking about was the direction in which the plot would develop. From the current perspective, the Americans underestimated, completely underestimated Yanayev's methods. I originally thought that I would just bet tanks and artillery into the Voinea Army, but I didn't expect to be so generous as to give the anti-aircraft missiles that had just entered service to the Romanian People's Army. Moreover, the U.S. Air Force boldly stepped into the ambush circle set up, resulting in such a tragic battle loss ratio.

Secretary Perry put the intelligence in front of President Mario, hoping to get a clear answer. How should they respond to the shooting down of a fighter jet in Romanian airspace. Because the White House has officially declared that it will not intervene in the civil war in Eastern Europe. If this information is exposed, it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face.

Heavy and painful.

"Is there any movement at the Soviet Embassy? Did their ambassadorial staff take any special action to protest?"

Mario asked. What concerns him most is the reaction of the Soviet Union. If there is any trouble with the other side, the United States will be pushed into an embarrassing position. He did not want to start a war, but he had to start a war due to pressure from society and the people.

If the Soviet Union adheres to the idea of ​​minimizing major issues, he can also guess what Yanayev is thinking.

"There is no news yet. The Kremlin should have received the news. It is very likely that the intelligence of these 'major victories' will be released soon. Perhaps the other party is already making preparations for the announcement. Mr. President, I think we should act immediately Get up, there will most likely be a tough war next..."

President Mario waved his hand. He looked at Minister Perry and asked, "If a major victory is announced, will it be of any benefit to the Soviet Union or Bucharest? Yanayev is not a person who pays attention to the spirit of internationalism. Every step of the way is planned for your own benefit.”

His eyes became very strange, as if he was asking questions to himself. Often only the opponent knows the opponent's movements better. Mario held his chin, his expression tangled.

"So what's the benefit of announcing that they defeated the United States? Is it equivalent to complacently competing with all the countries in Western Europe? I don't think they are so stupid. The Soviet Union hopes to get everything in Romania in the shortest possible time. Extraneous things Yanaya Husband wouldn’t do that.”

As he slowly thought about it, his thoughts became clearer and clearer, and he gradually figured out Yanayev's intentions.

"This move is more like a warning, warning us not to interfere too much in Romania's affairs. It's really hard for him to warn us with this kind of insinuation. If he wants to show off his face, he will immediately let the whole world know The TV stations all know that the American fighter jet was shot down in the plains north of the Erpathian Mountains.”

"But now we can only communicate with the Kremlin privately. The bodies and wreckage of the fighter crews must be recovered. Damn it, this does pose a problem for me."

Mario scratched his head, only to find Minister Perry looking at him with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?"

The Minister of Defense held back for a long time before he managed to say, "Aren't we going to retaliate? Two squadrons of fighter jets were shot down by the other side's anti-aircraft missiles. When have we ever tolerated such humiliation?"

"No."

Mario answered simply, "Does the Department of Defense really want to push the White House to the forefront? Or do you have other plans?"

Perry frowned, wondering what the president meant by this.

Mario directly revealed the thoughts of the hawkish senior leaders in the army, and at the same time did not forget to warn them that he had seen through everything.

"The war in Iraq cannot satisfy the appetite of those arms dealers. Do we have to involve Eastern Europe in the war? Don't think that I don't know about the dealings between the Ministry of Defense and Lockheed. You want to expand the size of the army through war. It’s the same scene as when we used the pretext of the Cold War to ask Congress for funding, isn’t it?”

"The United States will not step into the quagmire of the Romanian war. We no longer have enough economic foundation to support a two-front war. So absolutely do not fall into Yanayev's trap. If I guess correctly, his final idea is to Eastern Europe becomes the next Vietnam, you know what I mean?”

The United States also believed that they could quickly solve the problem in Vietnam, but who would have thought that it would be delayed for many years after being stuck in the quagmire. And now Mario realizes that he is making the same mistake.

He should not put too much energy into Iraq, even if the purpose of starting the war is to protect the US dollar's oil hegemony. Now it seems that this approach is still too stupid. Saddam was able to hide in this land for many years and convert regular troops into guerrilla warfare. There must be secret support from certain major powers, and the Soviet Union was one of them.

The humiliation of the war in Afghanistan was retaliated in the Middle East.

When Mario said this, it was equivalent to cutting off the idea of ​​​​the Ministry of National Defense trying to provoke a bigger dispute. The White House chose to temporarily tolerate it out of strategic considerations. But President Mario would not give up the attack on the Soviet Union so soon. He would definitely make a comeback elsewhere.

In short, there is no retreat on the Romanian issue.

The Minister of Defense argued, "Are we going to let the Lukuzhi regime be defeated and the Soviet Union will understand after it occupies a favorable position in Eastern Europe? Even if it has its own selfishness on certain issues. But in terms of strategic considerations It’s consistent, we can’t let each other do whatever they want.”

However, Mario's next words were equivalent to a death sentence for him.

"One more thing, we have reached a consensus with Berlin. They are willing to leave some of their weapons and equipment as compensation for temporarily withdrawing from the battlefield, including a large number of tanks and armored vehicles. We will organize a new force to carry out the Counterattack, so the United States only needs to dispatch air forces for bombing and does not need to invest ground troops.”

This is telling the other party that you have given up on this issue.

Mario has always been very cautious and will not directly conflict with the Soviet Union's political stance.

"By the way, I will ask the White House Chief of Staff to make arrangements to visit Moscow in the next few days. I need the General Secretary of the Soviet Union to reach consensus on certain issues."

He said gloomily, "It's still a very important consensus."

US President visits Moscow? Are the two sides trying to reach a consensus on Romania?

After seeing the other party's request, Yanayev smiled. The United States wanted to visit the Soviet Union as usual. It seemed that he had indeed reached a point of helplessness. Regardless of his ultimate purpose, one thing is certain.

He needed to get back the wreckage of the fighter jets and the bones of the pilots. The Soviet Union also notified Bucharest immediately and asked them to take back the fragments that fell on the grassland.

Yanayev's chief think tank, Primakov played the role of military advisor. This negotiation may involve some core issues and key issues of the Soviet Union, and we must be uncharacteristically firm on attitude issues. They will never compromise or back down.

"Originally, the Eastern European issue is our core issue, and the United States is not qualified to dictate on this issue at all. If they insist on making trouble, don't blame us for bringing the war to the table."

Primakov figured out Yanayev's thoughts, and the determination of the central government can be seen from the nuclear bomb test. They will fight to the end with the West and never compromise.

"And we can continue to blackmail the United States through Cuba..."

Yanayev waved his hand, signaling for him to pause, "Forget the Cuban issue, we don't need another missile crisis. In fact, the Soviet Union's approach was too risky at the time, but it is still too risky now. So that everyone ignored that it was the United States. Now Turkey is making a fuss. Let’s focus the world’s attention on Romania and portray the United States as an evil invader, calling on the Slavic peoples of Eastern Europe to stand up and resist their aggression.”

"In this way, the Soviet Union will not become the target of public criticism, but Americans may be criticized verbally and verbally by other countries. When everyone focuses on the United States, they will naturally ignore what we have done."

In fact, after achieving this step, other conspiracies are irrelevant. The United States has been convicted of the war, and the situation is no longer conducive to Mario continuing the war. The purpose of reaching an agreement is to allow ourselves to exit the war with more dignity.

In other words, the White House has lost. What followed was a Romanian war against aggression. Lukri's puppet regime will watch itself being overthrown by the people bit by bit.

They were reduced to ashes under the judgment of the iron fist of justice. (To be continued.) 8
