"When we deploy the anti-missile system, we can truly curb the Soviet Union's eastward expansion, including the right to speak in the Turkish Strait. Now that the Turkish Strait is still under the joint trusteeship of us and the Soviet Union, we must Take it back from the Soviet Union!"

"Although some NATO countries have begun to order our anti-missile system, our anti-missile system is still in the preliminary stage. If it is really perfect, it may take several years." President Mario reminded, "Even if it is only an imperfect The anti-missile system, do you want to order and buy it in advance?"

"Yes." Demirel did not hesitate to take advantage of the current situation. As long as he can deter the Soviet Union and stabilize those who oppose him in the army, even if the US anti-missile system is a pile of scrap iron, it is worth buying.

"If we really want to buy it sincerely, we will provide Turkey with a more complete anti-missile system as early as March next year, and the post-maintenance work and the operation of the missile system will be carried out by NATO personnel. This is our request. .”

Mario believes that after Turkey is settled, it will not be difficult to deploy anti-missile systems in Bulgaria and Romania.

Since Demirel likes to take the lead in trying the anti-missile system that even the U.S. military still thinks is not very reliable, then President Mario will naturally give him some discounts in return, "and the upgrade and maintenance of the anti-missile system in the later stage are very difficult. It is provided free of charge by the United States."

"The most important point is that this time Turkey must be under the personal supervision of the United States to use the anti-missile system. In the event of an emergency, it will be reported to the NATO command as soon as possible, and we will decide whether to activate the system."

This is to add an insurance to Turkey's anti-missile deployment to prevent an irreversible situation caused by Turkey's unauthorized actions.

After listening to what President Mario said, Demirel was a little dissatisfied with the last request, but everything else was acceptable.But the last point also has a lot of room for mediation. What kind of unexpected situation does it need to report to NATO as soon as possible?

"I think this cooperation between Turkey and the United States will be a historic scene, marking the breaking of the Soviet Union's hegemony in Eastern Europe." Demirel extended his hand and shook President Mario's hand.

"Happy cooperation, President Mario." Demirel said with a smile.

"Happy cooperation?" President Mario narrowed his eyes and showed an unclear smile. He moved closer to President Demirel and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Don't President Demirel want to take Back to the Turkish Straits?"

After President Mario said this, the car just stopped at the gate of the Turkish Presidential Palace, and then the door was opened. President Mario turned his head, with an expression on his face that was indescribable.Under the flickering of the spotlight, the outline of the face flickered.

Chapter 5 International Arbitration

The deployment of the US anti-missile system has always been aimed at two countries. One is to deploy it in Romania, Bulgaria and other Eastern European countries to form a "steel sky" to maintain the security of Western European airspace and prevent Soviet intercontinental missiles from attacking.On the other hand, it is promoting an arms race in the countries surrounding the South China Sea, and also deploying anti-missile systems to form an island chain to prevent the Chinese navy from breaking through the South China Sea, and to limit the Chinese military within a certain range.

President Mario also takes these two goals as important tasks during his tenure.Containing the rise of socialist forces is the top priority of the US foreign policy and strategic deployment, especially the two socialist countries that are getting closer because of themselves.

White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta has always emphasized that the United States should win over China to jointly contain and contain the recovery of the Soviet Union. However, his proposal was declared bankrupt because of the Taiwan Strait crisis in 1996. The relationship between the United States and China has completely entered They have reached a dead end, and although economic exchanges are maintained, politically they are designing checkpoints and launching barriers.After the change of office in 1997, the newly appointed chief of staff of the White House, Erskine Bowles, even in order to curb the rise of China and the Soviet Union, announced to the outside world that even if the entire world returned to a bipolar structure, the United States would not care at all, as long as it can safeguard the interests of capitalists, Suppress the signs of the rise of a socialist power.

Under such circumstances, the speech between President Mario and Demirel in the study of the Presidential Palace became crucial.

This is a room of no more than twenty square meters. The floor is inlaid with white marble floor tiles. There are several oil paintings hanging in the room. There are only a few sofas in the room, and there is a simple wooden bookshelf on which some political books are placed. Mario even saw a Turkish version of the "Declaration of Independence" and an English version of the "Koran" on it.What a mix of black humor.

Demirel sat opposite President Mario, and he said, "I want to know how to get rid of the control of the Soviet Union in the Turkish Strait now. Don't forget that when the unequal treaty was signed with the Soviet Union, but you, the United States, were the first to abandoned us."

President Mario retorted and replied, "If the Turkish military hadn't shot down the Soviet fighter jets without authorization, the situation today would not have been caused. If you insist on shirking responsibility, what President Demirel said is even more serious. It feels like an excuse, doesn't it?"

Demirel wanted to refute but couldn't find a loophole, so he could only keep his dissatisfaction in his heart.

But this time President Mario has an absolute advantage, so he is not worried about bargaining with Turkey at all, "Turkey and the United States will not get any benefits. If Turkey opposes the United States and the Soviet Union at the same time, then Kaza The Philippines could be the fate of Turkey."

"Is this a threat?" Demirel clenched his fists, looked at President Mario's extremely dignified face, and then let go of his hand. Now is not the time for Turkey to refuse to cooperate with the United States.

"This is warm advice from our allies in the United States." President Mario replied unhurriedly, "Having said so much, let's emphasize the issue of the Turkish Strait, President Demirel. The current Istanbul Strait and Darfur There are Soviet troops stationed in the Daniel Strait. Now that they have opened up a gap in the Strait issue, I think the next issue is about the entire Sea of ​​Marmara, and even affects the strategic security of Europe. Demirel President, the safety of Turkey is not your personal safety, but is related to the strategic security of this Europe and the entire Mediterranean, the less likely your country is to cause turmoil, the less chance the Soviet Union will take a step towards Western Europe."

After losing the pass of the Turkish Strait, the Black Sea Fleet will enter the Aegean Sea from here, so that the Black Sea has really become the back garden swimming pool of the Soviet Navy.When the Soviet Union and Turkey signed the treaty, the United States considered strategic issues and did not choose to support Turkey. Now it has come back to make a hypocritical statement, and it is also taking advantage of the Soviet Union's not yet fully established foothold to take advantage of it.

"And then?" Demirel quietly waited for the next step.

"I just want to know how the United States will help Turkey regain control of half of the strait. Does President Mario think that we can compete with us with our strength? The Black Sea Fleet alone is an unstoppable existence."

"But both sides of the strait are Turkish territory, that's enough." President Mario said, "Although we can't cancel the treaty of joint trusteeship of the strait in a short time, we can gradually reduce the jurisdiction of the Soviet Union in the Turkish strait. Including provoking trouble. As long as you can create a conflict in the Turkish Strait and then introduce international arbitration, the United States and NATO will naturally stand by your side and check this matter for you. This is another of our sanctions plans, actually Last time, the United States specially prepared two insurances, one is the anti-missile system, and the other is international arbitration."

Demirel froze for a moment, can this still be played like this?

President Mario explained, “International arbitration is generally applicable to the settlement of disputes of a legal nature between two countries, usually by the parties concerned in accordance with the arbitration agreement signed beforehand or afterwards or the arbitration clause in some treaties, and the dispute is submitted to the two parties’ elections. Arbitration tribunal composed of appointed arbitrators will hear according to certain procedures, and the final decision of the award should be obeyed by both you and the Soviet Union. Because the Turkish Strait is originally part of Turkey’s territory, as long as you oppose the Soviet Union’s trusteeship of the strait Treaty, we can help you win arbitration."

"You mean, as long as we win the arbitration result, then we can win the ownership of the strait." Demirel's eyes lit up. In fact, he had thought about applying for arbitration before, but when facing a superpower, his power was weak. Turkey is not Yanayev's opponent at all.

"Yes, as long as you can win the arbitration result, we will give Turkey the green light. The implementation of the international court is mandatory. Believe me, President Demirel, you will win back the ownership of the strait soon."

Demirel was moved. The blueprint drawn by President Mario is indeed beautiful. As long as the ownership of the strait is regained, the Soviet Black Sea Fleet can only play in the Black Sea like a giant bear with its throat strangled. .If the strait can be completely recovered without wasting a single soldier, Turkey will not have to look at the face of the Soviet Union to live.

"Okay, President Mario." Demirel's mood fluctuated violently at this time, as if he had already completed the feat of winning the Soviet Union in the arbitration court.However, Demirel did not notice the slight sneer at the corner of President Mario's mouth, and the conspiracy brewing behind the United States.

The real help of the United States is to use other countries as cannon fodder to test the enemy's bottom line.This approach has been tried and tested by President Mario. Even so, in the face of the common enemy, the countries that are used as cannon fodder are still sacrificing for the interests of the American people.

"Of course, but I hope that Turkey can announce the news of the arbitration in the Turkish Strait when the United States and Turkey announce the establishment of the anti-missile system. In this way, the situation in the Soviet Union will become very delicate." President Mario smiled gently said.It's as indifferent as telling about an upcoming picnic.But Demirel was overwhelmed by Mario's proposal and couldn't be calm for a long time.

Seeing that the opponent was lost in thought, Mario knew that his second card had been played steadily.In the face of interests, Turkey will become the most loyal dog of the United States, and will not hesitate to implement the plan tailored for them by the White House.The Kremlin will then be confronted with a messy mess.

President Mario looked at his watch, calculated the time difference in his mind, and thought that Secretary of State Madeleine should also leave for Europe. In this way, the Soviet Union not only faced internal troubles, but also a lot of foreign troubles to solve.This is a big problem for Yanayev.

The Kremlin has been silent since the Ingushetia incident, and now President Mario wants to see how many cards Yanayev still has in his hands to stop his wave after wave of political attacks.

To hell with the USSR.

Mario secretly vowed in his heart that all the games that the United States lost before will be brought back in one go during this counterattack.

Chapter 5 Twelve Romania

In 1991, the United States and NATO had been playing the role of saviors for Eastern Europe, especially for the former communist countries. Water”, the European economy is marching forward.People's lives are stable, welfare is superior, and there is a vague tendency to run into developed socialism.Ahem, sorry for the wrong script, the above timeline only exists in the real world.

In fact, since Yanayev changed the situation of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Mario, the leader who succeeded Bush as president, not only failed to improve the economic downturn.Instead, they insist that as long as the dying Soviet Union is dismembered, the unshakable hegemony of Europe and the United States will continue for another century on the corpse of the Soviet Union.So in the past few years, President Mario has done far more actions in the international community than the combined era of Reagan and Bush.The propaganda offensive of public opinion, the European strategic threat, and even economic sanctions were all used. The Soviet Union persisted from 1991 to 1997 with one breath, and there was a vague tendency to come back to life.

Not only Mario, but the entire White House and Pentagon have lost the optimistic attitude they had in the early 90s. They can feel that the enemy who is separated by the Bering Strait is afraid to come out of the coffin that is about to be covered. He killed maggots, but the sharp knife in his hand did not rust, and the desire for revenge in his eyes did not stop.

"The giant red bear will only hibernate, and when it reappears in the world, it will make the whole world feel bloody and fearful."

This sentence is excerpted from Yanayev’s speech at the Congress in 1994. This speech also caused panic in the United States at the time. They believed that Yanayev defined revenge on Western Europe and the United States as the goal of the Soviet Union. The Ministry even prepared a war conflict plan, once the Soviet Union launched a war recklessly, how the United States would fight back.

The more the Soviet Union is contained, the rise of the Soviet Union will be beyond everyone's imagination. It was not until 1997, when the Soviet Union launched the satellite program that had been interrupted for four years, that Western Europe really realized that the Soviet Union was really rising again.And the reason for the rise is actually only a leader who seized power and usurped the throne.

"This is the third scariest leader of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union after Stalin and Lenin. Its existence is the crisis of this capitalist world, the 'Prometheus fire' of the re-emergence of communism." He has been fighting Yanayev for half a time, so he is very clear about what a terrible character Yanayev is.

A middle-aged man with a gentle and benevolent face, and a fierce and cruel devil.Complimentary and derogatory terms can be used on this man.

It is also Eastern Europe that carries the fear of Yanayev and the fear of the Soviet.After the overthrow of the communist emperor Nicolae Ceausescu, all of Romania saw socialism as its worst enemy.That's why Secretary of State Madeleine chose to visit Romania during this period to bring them the gospel of universal values.

Romania is not yet a member of NATO and the European Union, and has not even got a ride on the rapid development of Europe. However, according to Yanayev's methods, he will also hinder the rapid rise of Europe, especially in terms of national oil prices.

Foreign Minister Titus Kollerzern greeted Madeleine at the airport. This was also the first visit to a foreign country by the newly appointed Secretary of State.She politely expressed cordial greetings from the American people to Foreign Minister Titus, and emphasized the unbreakable ally friendship between Romania and the United States.

However, according to the commonly used international saying, the allies of the American people will not live long.Either die at the hands of the opposition, or be expelled from the original land by the people.

Led by Titus, Secretary Madeleine visited the Palace of the Romanian Parliament, the second largest administrative building in the world after the Pentagon of the United States.In front of the magnificent white marble building, Madeleine felt the inexplicable feeling brought by Brown Castle for the first time.

In addition to showing Romania's pride to Madeleine, Titus wanted to leave a good impression on the US Secretary of State. Romania's accession to the European Union will inevitably require the attitude of this ally.

While the two were walking along the corridor paved with hand-woven red carpets in the Palace of Parliament, Titus told the history of the palace while Madeleine listened quietly to his narration.

"When the Qi regime was just overthrown in December 1989, someone proposed to blow up the entire building in order to completely shatter Ceausescu's dream of using this magnificent building as a monument for himself, but now the Palace of Parliament is It is regarded as the crystallization of the diligence and wisdom of the Romanian people, and is considered the greatest building in this country in the twentieth century. It is ironic that Ceausescu wanted to establish a North Korean-style communist country, but was eventually defeated by his own The people were sent to the guillotine."

Secretary of State Madeleine stopped in her tracks. He looked at the shining crystal chandelier and couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that Ceausescu built such a palace with his own hands, but in the end he was sent to the gallows. "
