Plekhanov's mood was complicated and contradictory.

Chapter 638 The Fearful Soviet Plot

Unlike the war-torn environment in Georgia, the White House is still brightly lit and peaceful at night.The bedroom was dark, and President Mario had already fallen asleep, but the rapid ringing of the phone brought him back from his dream to reality.

The dark bedroom was illuminated by a small lamp by the bed.

President Mario picked up the microphone in a daze and said hello.The content on the phone woke him up suddenly. He lifted the quilt, held the receiver and said in a low voice, "What are you talking about? Are you sure? Okay, I'll get up now and head to the Pentagon."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and changed his clothes. His wife who was sleeping on the side also woke up and asked in a low voice what's wrong?

President Mario said anxiously while wearing his tie, "There was an accident in Georgia, and it was a very serious accident. I have to go to the Pentagon now."

After finishing speaking, he kissed his sleepy-eyed wife lightly, rubbed her hair, and said softly, "Go to bed first, honey, I'll be back soon."

By the time he got to the Pentagon, the secretary of defense, the director of the CIA, and the national adviser were waiting for him.The director of the CIA put the latest information in front of the president, with a nervous expression on his face, "Three hours ago, the Soviet Union's Figure 95 strategic bomber formation was carrying tactical nuclear weapons and tried to approach the Turkish airspace, but was intercepted by the scrambled F-16 fighter jets. Now the relationship between Turkey and the Soviet Union has entered a very tense state. A war may break out at any time."

Director Tenet added a little fearfully, "And it is very likely that a nuclear war will break out."

Hearing the nuclear war, the faces of Secretary of Defense Perry and National Advisor Berger became very ugly. Under such circumstances, no one would doubt what Director Tenet said. The lunatics in the Kremlin have already regarded Georgia as their ban.Once anyone intervenes, they will fight back desperately.

President Mario pondered for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Is it because the US fleet's intervention in the Black Sea stimulated the nerves of the Soviets?"

No one can answer Mario's question. God knows what the Kremlin's political lunatics think. Going to war after a disagreement seems to have become an important symbol of Moscow politics.When dealing with the powerful and tyrannical Soviets, everyone seemed cautious and fearful.

"Or is it that the Soviets hope to use this risky approach to force the United States to withdraw its fleet from the Black Sea?" President Mario slowly thought about it, "From the previous Soviet combat methods, we can see that the other side A change in thinking. After being unable to compete with the United States for world hegemony, the Soviet Union's military construction began to shift to informationization. That is to say, they no longer built an "army of doomsday", but an informationized army that could rival the United States. It would be unwise to want a nuclear war at this time."

"But your Excellency, this is just a guess. None of us can guarantee whether the Soviet Union will carry out a nuclear war." Originally, Secretary Perry wanted to say that no one could guarantee to put his hand on the nuclear weapon button What would a madman do.But he still swallowed the words.

National Security Advisor Berger objected to Secretary Perry's words, "But I think the possibility of a nuclear war is too low. The Soviet Union is now focusing on economic construction. A war at this time is in no one's interest, is it?"

Perry glanced at Berger and said sarcastically, "Do you know what the people in the Kremlin are thinking? Are you a roundworm in their stomach?"

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder on the conference table was getting stronger and stronger, President Mario had no choice but to say "quiet" loudly.The originally noisy meeting room suddenly fell silent.President Mario stared sharply at these colleagues who were deeply "fearing the Soviet Union", trying to cheer them up again, "We are not going to start a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, nor are we going to tell them that we are afraid of nuclear wars , We need to communicate with the Soviet Union, and everyone sits down to solve the problem.”

"The current situation in Georgia is very good for the Soviet Union. Tbilisi is almost surrounded by the Soviet army, so I think the chance of a nuclear war with Turkey is very small. Now it is necessary for someone to go to the Kremlin, and Their general secretary negotiates."

"How do you negotiate?" said the Berger consultant.He has already expected that this mess will fall on his own head. The hard-line conservative Secretary of State Madeleine is not suitable to appear in Moscow as a negotiator. Maybe even President Mario is worried that she will screw everything up. After all, this woman But someone who directly quarreled with the Soviet foreign minister on diplomatic occasions.

"Convey the meaning of the United States to Moscow. The entry of the US fleet into the Black Sea does not mean to declare war on the Soviet Union. We just want to protect the security of the Turkish alliance. As for the misunderstanding between us and the Soviet Union that Moscow believes, I hope that Berger consultants can make a good report. Moscow explained clearly."

After President Mario finished speaking, the people below fell silent.Obviously, the president of the United States also has lingering fears about the crazy behavior of the Soviet Union. During his term of office, he was threatened by the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons many times. What this president did was helpless.

Since the 50s, fear of the Soviet Union has slowly spread to the upper echelons of American politics. Even the current military has tried every means to increase funding and use various means to put pressure on Congress.Including even American newspapers, sensational words such as "the invincible Soviet army" and "Soviet army-the beginning of the end of America" ​​appeared.

If possible, he really wanted to imitate Yanayev and carry out a major purge in the army, and send all those guys who changed their ways to ask for funds to see the father of the nation, Washington.

"There is another important matter to report to President Mario."

Director Tenet said, "We received a call from Georgia, and it was from Gorbachev. It seems that the situation in Tbilisi is very serious now, and this old fox has to consider his own political future. "

After hearing Gorbachev's name, President Mario's eyes lit up, and he asked quickly, "What do you mean?"

"He hoped to get political asylum in the United States before the Tbilisi army was completely defeated," Tenet said. "Escape from Georgia before the Soviet Union's siege of Tbilisi is completed."

"So now we can talk directly to Gorbachev?" President Mario asked.

"Of course, he left us a secure communication channel, and now the Pentagon can get in touch with the Tbilisi front."

"Connect immediately." President Mario said hastily.

Chapter 639 The Conspiracy to Rescue Ge Map

When President Mario heard Gorbachev's voice, the other party no longer had the pride he had just launched the rebellion, but was replaced by a kind of melancholy and panic that could be revealed before the words.He told the President of the United States that Georgia is now in its worst state. The Soviet army is encircling Tbilisi from all directions like a tide. Once they complete the encirclement, the rebellion will be completely declared a failure.

Thinking of the Soviet troops encircling Georgia from all directions, Gorbachev was terrified.And this fear is getting stronger and stronger as time goes by.He could feel that the sound of the shell explosion was getting closer and closer. At first it was just a small buzzing, but later he could see the red flames in the distant sky.

The battle on the front line also began to approach Tbilisi. Now Gori has become the forefront. The Soviet armored forces are tearing through the Georgian rebels' defenses recklessly. They are not the opponents of this Soviet army at all.

Gorbachev already sensed that the end of Georgia was approaching.

"Now Tbilisi is very likely to fall, and I hope to obtain political asylum in the United States before it falls. Flee from Georgia." Gorbachev said.

Although he was unwilling to face the imminent failure of the coup, Gorbachev carried a large amount of property with him, which was enough to support him to continue his anti-Soviet cause overseas.As Minashvili said, it is entirely possible to conduct a guerrilla war in southeastern Turkey like the PKK did.

Gorbachev had already begun to prepare plans for guerrilla warfare in the Soviet frontier autonomous states.

After hearing what Gorbachev said, President Mario was moved.He began to consider how this could benefit the United States.If Gorbachev is allowed to establish an image of an anti-Soviet leader overseas, then the oppressed ethnic forces in the autonomous prefecture will unite under his call to carry out an anti-Soviet movement.This result is what the White House is very willing to see.

Now that Yanayev is still there, he can use tough methods to suppress the anti-Soviet forces.Once the next leader takes over, who can guarantee that the other party will not make a fool of themselves and destroy Yanayev's reform achievements?Not everyone can have a Stalinist tough attitude like Yanayev.

Thinking of this, Mario settled down. He looked around at everyone present, and nodded to President Mario with affirmative eyes.

"Okay, the United States is willing to provide political asylum to Mr. Gorbachev, but we also have one condition, that is, you must withdraw from Tbilisi in advance, and our troops will rescue you on the border. At the same time, the United States The delegation will visit Moscow and try to find a way to get the Soviet Union to sit on the peace negotiation table, buy time for you, and buy a chance to escape Tbilisi."

After hearing President Mario's affirmative answer, Gorbachev breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "Thanks to President Mario, I will keep changing my contact information and maintain close contact with the White House."

"We will succeed, Mr. Gorbachev. To bring down the evil Soviets."

"Well, to bring down the evil empire." Gorbachev said shamelessly.

After hanging up the phone, President Mario said to Advisor Berger, "Now your task has changed. Apart from not stimulating the nerves of the Kremlin's political madmen, the other point is to try to escape for Gorbachev. Billis wasting time."

"Delaying time? Now that Gorbachev is besieged on all sides, how can we delay time?" Berger asked suspiciously. In his opinion, Gorbachev's failure was inevitable because he no longer had any Odds are good.

"Visiting Moscow for the purpose of peace negotiations in the Caucasus, I think whether Vladimir or Yanayev will give the United States a chance." Mario began to make up his mind.

"You can think about it. Now Georgia is about to enter the worst encirclement war. Whether it is the Soviet army, the Georgian rebels, or the residents of Tbilisi, they will suffer heavy casualties in this war. If this matter can be resolved peacefully Of course, Moscow is very happy. Once the agenda for peace talks is convened, we can probably get Gorbachev a two-to-three-day ceasefire.”

Mario hopes that the idiot Gorbachev can seize the opportunity to escape from Tbilisi quickly in the past few days, and don't waste his painstaking efforts. "We can also use international human rights organizations and other EU countries to put pressure on Moscow. Protesting that their bombing caused civilian casualties, so that Moscow could not withstand the pressure from the outside world, started a truce and negotiated peace with Tbilisi. In this way, the opportunity to fight for Gorbachev came. "

"Okay, I agree with President Mario." President Berger said, "I will do my best to buy Georgia time, as long as Gorbachev sees the opportunity and can escape."

"The CIA will also establish a temporary command post on the border between Turkey and Georgia to respond to Gorbachev's troops. At the same time, I hope to be able to secondee personnel like the Marine Corps stationed in the Black Sea to participate in this operation. ’ said Chief Tenet.Considering the weakness of the CIA, he hopes to get strong support from the military.

Director Tenet reminded President Mario, "And it's best to avoid the top Turkish officials. We don't want this action to be noticed by the Turkish side. Considering the characteristics of President Sezer's two ends of the head, it's really not sure that he will Leak this operation to Moscow."

"Where's the Turkish military?" President Mario asked. As a pro-American military, it has been getting closer and closer to the United States since Maziel stepped down.

"We also need the help of the Turkish military." Director Tenet admitted honestly, "As long as the U.S. military and the CIA have poor numbers, this large-scale rescue operation cannot be completed. Believe me, it is not only us With Gorbachev in sight, Moscow will certainly not let him go."

"Okay, these things will be coordinated by us. You just need to plan a foolproof operation." President Mario assured Tenet.

President Mario stood up and said to everyone present, "This action is related to a series of actions in the future, so I hope everyone can cheer up and meet this challenge."

6 Chapter Forty Give Him an Hour

The United States launched a public opinion offensive. First, it condemned the turmoil in Georgia as a threat to the lives of ordinary people. For this reason, Moscow and the Soviet army must bear unshirkable responsibility. Second, American newspapers began to describe the turmoil in Georgia as a "freedom against tyranny." Operation", which was followed by frenzied suppression by the Soviet authorities and heavy casualties among the people.Completely distorted the fact that Gorbachev staged a mutiny.
