"Well, I will visit Eastern European countries in the near future. Bulgaria and Romania are still on our wooing list. It's just that Comrade Vladimir, don't try to rashly carry out the East German version of the thunderstorm plan. We are not ready yet." Nayef bit his lip, his voice dark.

Regarding the final consequences of the plan, he was not sure about the direction.The Soviet Union's instigation of the two Germanys to split again seems to be a completely whimsical plan, but because of the refugee problem, this plan has gradually moved towards a certain possibility.And once that possibility becomes a reality?

I am afraid that the history of Western Europe will completely deviate from the original direction, and fly in an unpredictable direction?

What's more, creating a divided Germany is tantamount to reshuffle the Western European interest groups. France, Britain, Germany and the United States do not want to see such a situation. At that time, Yanayev may face the pressure of one against four.Withstood the pressure, the Soviet Union completely opened the door to Western Europe and inserted a sharp long knife into the heart of NATO.If he loses, Yanayev will suffer a crushing defeat, and NATO's eastward expansion will become even crazier.

"It is not my ultimate goal to plunge the European continent into flames of war. The Soviet Union will rise, but not in such a tragic way." He patted Vladimir on the shoulder and said slowly, "So this matter, apart from me No one else can interfere."

Yanayev has already issued an ultimatum. He has not yet considered whether he really wants to implement this plan, and told Putin the truth in advance, but if he does not complete the task of withdrawing the army before he finally resigns, Fu Ladimir is taking over from Yanayev's mess.

"I understand, General Secretary Yanayev." Vladimir nodded, but there was a trace of unwillingness in his heart.

After coming out of Yanayev's office, Vladimir kept a gloomy face. Obviously, he dismissed Yanayev's ideas. In recent years, the Soviet Union has been on the defensive in Europe's strategy, even if the occasional wonderful counterattack It was just a helpless move.But Yanayev's plan to split the two Germanys again has stimulated Vladimir's ambitions.

If he can solve this mess with his own hands, then the power of the Soviets will return to Western Europe together.

This is probably the grand scene that every Soviet leader wants to see from now on.

Thinking of this, Vladimir dialed Lubyanka's phone number. Naturally, such a big secret of "hoarding weapons" in East Germany was impossible to avoid the KGB's eyeliner. Vladimir needed to know about the armor in Western Europe through his friends inside the KGB. How much "property" did the group leave behind? After all, this was the elite Soviet Union that attacked Europe's first army.

The previous experience of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the KGB allowed Vladimir to cultivate his own political power.The other party promised to give him an accurate information reply within a week.

All Vladimir can do now is to wait.Wait until the overwhelmed East German people rebel, wait until the outraged people open up the arsenal that remains sealed and form a people's army against Western Europe.

At the same time, they instigated the KGB to carry out some secret propaganda activities in East Germany, deepening the conflict between the two German people, and those damn refugees, inciting hostility and hatred, can further deepen the conflict between the federal government and the East German people.

Too many miscellaneous things were tangled together, and Vladimir obviously felt that things were beyond his control.But if this move is done well, it can gain more political capital than the so-called Georgian suppression and termination of Chechen terrorists.

Sitting in his office, Yanayev also seemed sick of the never-ending petty maneuvers of traitors in Eastern and Central Europe, and he needed a chance to turn things around.Although Cole's actions have brought him renewed attention to the plan, Yanayev has not had much confidence.

"Now I only hope that Merkel's pawn can guide Cordodo to make mistakes."

Yanayev closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down.

Chapter 665 Instigation

The news that Yanayev was going to visit Bulgaria reached President Mario's ears, especially when he heard that the other party was going to attack Romania's anti-missile system, he began to feel deeply worried.Because he failed to keep Yanayev stuck on the Caucasus issue before, and now let the Soviet Union refocus its attention on Eastern Europe, this is not good news.

The United States spent far more energy and energy on Romania than Bulgaria. When the US Secretary of State visited Romania, he was not only willing to ask the World Bank to provide Romania with a low-interest loan, but also provided Romania with military aid. Constantinescu, let him stand firmly on the side of the NATO camp.After all, in Mario's view, Romania is more worth spending energy to win over than Bulgaria.

So now that Yanayev is going to attack Romania, President Mario immediately confirmed to President Constantinescu.

When presidential aides told Konstantines that President Kumario was calling, he knew right away what was going to happen.After all, both NATO and the Soviet Union are now seeking the support of Eastern Europe. Whoever controls Eastern Europe is equivalent to controlling the situation.

The pattern of confrontation is no longer there. If Eastern Europe falls to NATO in an all-round way, the living space of the Soviet Union will be further squeezed, and it will become even more difficult.

So Constantinescu just thought about it for a while, and then picked up the phone. For him, he can get more political benefits from the United States, so he will make a deal with President Mario.

"Yes, the Soviet diplomatic department has sent someone to inform and negotiate this matter. The General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Yanayev will indeed visit Romania in the near future, and will conduct a visit for the next economic exchanges and cooperation between the Soviet Union and Romania. "Konstantinescu told Mario everything very frankly.He didn't want to leave the image of a fraudulent villain to the world overlord.

Eastern Europe needs Soviet oil and natural gas, which is why even after breaking away from the Soviet Union's sphere of influence, they still showed a certain willingness to the Soviet Union.Except for the leaders in Poland who are not particularly good at thinking, most of them are still very sober.Even if you find trouble with the Soviet Union on minor issues, don't find fault with the Soviet Union on issues related to the Soviet Union's strategy.

But now President Mario hopes that Constantinescu will find trouble with the Soviet Union on issues related to strategic survival.

"I hope President Constantinescu can seriously consider this issue. After all, Romania is still a friend of NATO." What Mario said was somewhat unclear, but Constantinescu could still hear the general idea, "Evil Empire The leaders of China will never visit with such a simple means of economic cooperation. For them, this is just an excuse to break the situation. Their more important reason is the development of the strategic space of the Soviet Union. Obviously, Romania has blocked the expansion of Soviet power in Europe, my friend. Yanayev just wants to contact you through so-called economic cooperation exchanges and throw out their plans, just like Bulgaria before."

"What plan?" Constantinescu asked.

"The plan to resist European strategic security maintenance is the first to bear the brunt of the anti-missile system that is to be deployed in Romania. Yanayev is here for this aspect." The US President said bluntly, "This is why we are in the Reasons for deploying anti-missile systems on Romanian soil. Resist Soviet expansion."

Constantinescu frowned, thinking that things were not that simple.He had a headache before whether to join the NATO anti-missile system. After all, this is a prudent choice.If it is not handled well, the United States and the Soviet Union will unite to kill Romania.

Firstly, Romania did not want to pay high funds for the anti-missile system, especially when the Soviet Union did not intend to target Romania, and secondly, he did not want to be regarded as a thorn in the side of Yanayev, but offended the Soviet Union and the The fate of the United States does not seem to be any different.Romania is bound to pay a price.

Small countries need to survive in the cracks of big countries, and they need a certain amount of political wisdom. Unfortunately, most leaders often do not have this advantage, or think they have this advantage.

The result is nothing more than what happened to Libya and Poland.

"I will carefully consider President Mario's opinion and strive for the initiative at the negotiating table. Believe me, President Mario, Romania knows how to deal with Yanayev's questioning. Oh, yes, there is another question, which is about For the economic aid you promised to Romania, we hope that the United States can increase the low-interest loans to Romania."

Constantinescu wanted to use this as a threat to ask President Mario for more loans.Obviously, the conditions given by the United States can no longer satisfy him.Since I am in a key position in the anti-missile system game, it is understandable that Romania needs to write more loans.

The prolonged economic downturn in 1997 has begun to hit all aspects of Romania's economy.The downturn in the manufacturing and financial industries will affect Constantinescu's support among the people, so Constantinescu needs a life-saving fund to stimulate the sluggish economy.

"The White House will consider this matter carefully, as long as Romania does what the United States says. We will not treat you badly, nearly 20 billion US dollars in low-interest loans."

20 billion?

A smile curved the corners of Constantinescu's mouth as he granted President Mario's request.

"Very well, then I look forward to good news from President Constantinescu."

After hanging up the phone, President Mario's suppressed emotions finally broke out, and he showed his impatient side.

"Damn old fox." President Mario's expression became gloomy.Constantinescu is still needed now, and there cannot be a break with the Romanian government. The Secretary of State has said that Constantinescu is not an easy person to deal with.He will take advantage of the political environment all the time to seek political benefits.

However, for President Mario, Constantinescu is still too young. The low-interest loans in the United States have a series of additional requirements. Americans who are extremely shrewd always want to get the most from the Turkish government. .

"After this incident passes, I will let President Constantinescu know what it means to offend the White House."

Chapter 666 Being a traitor is miserable

On the presidential plane to Romania, Yanayev received an impromptu message.Five minutes ago, the World Bank was willing to provide Romania with low-interest loans worth $5 billion to help Romania survive the economic downturn.

Of course, the World Bank's low-interest loans have requirements. He requires Romania to open foreign investment capital in certain industries that are related to the lifeline of the national economy, and to ensure that the capital entering Romania has sufficient risk protection, otherwise the World Bank will have the right to Cut off their investment.

Constantinescu fully agreed to these seemingly unreasonable demands. As Yanayev predicted before, Romania needs this sum of money to quench thirst.

The accident came too suddenly, and Yanayev leaned on the sofa, lost in thought.Obviously, the situation in Romania was a bit beyond his expectation. He didn't expect that the Americans would attack Romania first. Yanayev didn't even expect that the World Bank would release such a news on the day of his visit to Bucharest.It's simply a pre-determined conspiracy.

"It's black humor." Yanayev looked at the white clouds outside the plane and said to himself.

"It's not a wise choice for Constantinescu to do this." Primakov happened to see the news, and he shook his head helplessly, "How could the Romanian people choose such an idiot to come to power? The world The bank's low-interest loans are clearly a trap for Europe to control the lifeline of Romania's economy, but Constantinescu is still happy to get in? Capital is equal and open? When the Western European economy hits Romania's real manufacturing industry, a large number The acquisition of local factories, or even direct capital control of the economy, can this group of idiots still laugh? There are not enough lessons learned from the past.”

Primakov sighed angrily, "The sorrow of the people of Eastern Europe is that they think that after getting rid of socialism, life is a bright prospect, but they don't expect that the capitalists in Europe and the United States are digging holes waiting for them to go inside. Jump. These guys can only end up as victims, victims of blood sucking for Europe."

Primakov straightened his tie and sat down across from Yanayev.He said to Yanayev, "It seems that the United States has dug a trap in advance and waited for us to jump into it. Isn't this just a demonstration to us, insinuating that the Soviet Union's visit to the Romanian president will gain nothing?"

The unexpected situation is also within the scope of Yanayev's consideration, but this situation is more difficult now, and the other party has completely become a vassal of the Americans, unless the Soviet Union can promise greater economic benefits to Romania.

Primakov waved his hand and said helplessly, "Things are a little difficult, General Secretary Yanayev. We can't point a Kalashnikov rifle at Konstantinescu's head and say let Did he cooperate obediently with the Soviet Union?"

"It's really black humor, Comrade Primakov. But if possible, I would like to use nuclear bombs to force all Eastern European leaders to cooperate with us." Yanayev said with a smile, "But everyone knows, It's impossible, isn't it?"

"Then what will General Secretary Yanayev do when he meets Konstantinescu next?" Primakov really couldn't figure it out. Now that the Soviet Union has almost no chance of counterattack, how could he resolve it? Out of Romania's dilemma.The World Bank has spent 20 billion U.S. dollars. Is it necessary for Yanayev to spend 20 billion U.S. dollars in natural gas or oil to win Constantinescu?

"20 billion? I think maybe we can use other methods. For example, military aid? There are still a lot of tanks in the warehouse after the disbandment of the Western cluster. I think President Constantinescu will give us military aid. Interested in."
