USSR 1991

Page 299

After the Western cluster was withdrawn from Berlin to the Soviet Union, the tanks were sealed in military warehouses. This was also a hole card that Yanayev pressed, and now it is just a favor to Romania.Because the command and combat system of the Romanian army still follows the system of the Soviet army.

"Compared with 20 billion U.S. dollars, isn't it a bit shabby?" Primakov asked.

"This is just an appetizer. The Soviet Union still has a series of missile sales plans. Don't forget that after the Georgia War, the world's impression of Soviet weapons has changed a lot. There are even constant requests from Soviet allies. The purpose of conducting military exchanges and cooperation is to see the combat mode of the new Soviet army.”

He is very clear about what those guys in Eastern Europe are planning. The Soviet army is almost reborn in front of everyone, which is completely different from the recession in the early 90s.This aroused the fear of Eastern European countries. Under the lingering specter of communism, some firmly stood on the side of NATO, while others wavered in front of the Soviet Union.

"It seems that General Secretary Yanayev hopes to use arms to impress Romania's heart? Even if Romania accepts all of our gifts, there is no guarantee that the other party will terminate the deployment of the anti-missile system." Primakov still did not agree. I believe too much that Constantinescu will break with the United States because of arms.

"Of course not, Konstantinescu is an idiot, but he is not as mentally retarded as Gorbachev. But we can still drive them apart. The United States provides Romania's anti-missile system? Then we provide Romania's long-range missiles!"

"But this thing is in the US-Soviet anti-sale treaty. According to the regulations, we cannot sell it to Romania." Primakov kindly reminded Yanayev, hoping that he could still remember the previous agreement signed between the Soviet Union and the United States. A series of regulations restricting the development of missiles.

"Of course, we will not really provide long-range missiles that can hit any corner of Europe. We just want to make the United States misunderstand that Romania is going to reach some secret agreement with the Soviet Union in private."

When Yanayev said this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Primakov took a deep breath. He suddenly realized what Yanayev wanted to say, but when he was about to speak, he was preempted by the other party.

"We want to make the United States mistakenly think that the Soviet Union is going to build a long-range missile base on Romania's soil. In this way, will the Americans still be calm? It is estimated that the whole of Western Europe will be turned upside down."

Yanayev's move is completely fighting fire with fire. Do you want to build an anti-missile system in Romania?I will stir up the situation into a mess, and even let you get rid of your allies with your own hands.

At that time, who in Eastern Europe would dare to cooperate with the Americans?

Yanayev smiled and said, "You must know that the fate of being a traitor is very miserable, especially the fate of betraying the Americans. How many people are still alive and kicking?"

Chapter 667 The Red Ghost Is Back

In order to convince the United States that its allies have betrayed Romania, Yanayev also needs a series of cooperation from the propaganda department, such as the purpose of the Soviet Union's visit to Romania, and misleading Americans through the propaganda of political public opinion.

At the same time, in order to cooperate with Romania's actions, even Marshal Ogarkov, the most well-known former commander-in-chief of the Strategic Rocket Army, was moved out to cooperate with the Soviet Union's misleading public opinion.Let him deliberately slip up in an interview recently.All this needs to be seamlessly coordinated when Yanayev visits Romania.

Before the plane arrived in Bucharest, Yanayev used this short time to issue orders to Ogarkov and Surkov respectively, regarding the offensive of political public opinion propaganda.

"We need to make the United States mistakenly believe that we are building a Soviet missile base in Romania, so the propaganda department needs to plan a secret public opinion war. I think Comrade Surkov will not let me down?"

Surkov is now the secretary of the secretariat, the leader in charge of ideology.So for Yanayev's request, we naturally agreed, "If the Americans are fooled, we need a way to play hard to get. Pretending to make Mario think that we are trying to cover up the relationship between the Soviet Union and Romania, this point we A cooperative willful leaker is needed."

"You mean Comrade Ogarkov?" Yanayev laughed. It seemed that Surkov had exactly the same idea as himself. When it comes to fraud, who can compare to Ogarkov, an old fox? Woolen cloth?After all, he was the best director of SFO.

"Aren't we increasing the opportunity for Marshal Ogarkov to be exposed on TV?" Surkov said with a smile, "Although this opportunity is short, I hope Marshal Ogarkov will cherish it."

Surkov already fully understands what Yanayev is thinking. He likes to create clues, and then make Americans suspicious, and finally achieve the goal of killing people with a knife.The Soviet Union has been tried and tested since the Cold War on the means of deception, and until now, it has also allowed Americans with imperfect intelligence collection to win the bid.

After the conversation, the special plane just stopped at the parking stand, Yanayev hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and said to Plekhanov beside him, "Let's implement our plan now. "

Even Konstantinescu didn't know that Yanayev would temporarily dig a hole and wait for him to jump in. When the cabin door opened, Yanayev appeared on the tarmac of Bucharest Airport. The delegation who came to greet him waved, and the receptionist sent by the Romanian government stepped forward and said to Yanayev, "Welcome to Romania, General Secretary Yanayev."

"I hope my visit did not surprise President Constantinescu." Yanayev shook hands with him in a friendly way, and even took a group photo with a smile in front of the media.You still have to do enough foreplay before cheating people. Anyway, the friendship between Yanayev and Romania is to prepare for the next cheating.

"Of course not, President Constantinescu is waiting for your arrival." The reception staff made a very polite gesture of invitation, and Yanayev followed him to the presidential car.

Constantinescu is already waiting for Yanayev's arrival at the presidential palace. To be honest, he really admires Yanayev's courage and determination. When the news of the World Bank loan is sent out, Yanayev should know It is no longer possible for Romania to fall to the side of the Soviet Union, so the Soviet Union will gain nothing from this foreign visit.

"The collapse of the Soviet Union in Romania, which can make the whole of Eastern Europe fear, is also a kind of victory." Konstantinescu thought with a smile, and he sat quietly in his seat, waiting for Yanayev's arrival.

But when he saw Yanayev who was walking towards him leisurely, Konstantinescu even had a certain illusion for a moment, as if he was the master here.

"Hello, President Constantinescu." Yanayev stood in front of him, smiling and holding out his hand.

"Hello, General Secretary Yanayev, I am very glad that you can visit Romania." Constantinescu also greeted him with a smile. So far, the two sides are in a state of friendly meeting, and the real smell of gunpowder will wait until the next day formal negotiations.

"I heard that the World Bank just recently funded an aid fund for Romania to tide over the difficulties for Romania's economy, didn't it?" Yanayev did not evade at all, and immediately picked out Constantinescu's hole card , "Congratulations to the President of Romania for being able to survive this financial crisis."

Yanayev's words made Konstantinescu do not know how to respond. Konstantinescu, who was going to play this matter as a hole card, was a little puzzled by Yanayev's unreasonable cards.Since you already know that the United States has funded Romania, is the Soviet Union ready to talk about funding now?

Yanayev never played his cards according to common sense. He waved his hand to Constantinescu and said, "Of course, the Soviet Union's visit to Romania this time is not about aid, but about other issues."

"Other questions? I'm sorry General Secretary Yanayev, maybe everyone has seen Romania's poor economic situation, so we don't want to talk about anything except money now."

"Don't you want to know what kind of surprise the red ghost wandering in the European continent can bring to Romania?" Yanayev said suddenly, "Perhaps after you hear this surprise, even you will feel the heartbeat? "

"Surprise? With all due respect, General Secretary Yanayev, I don't quite understand what that means?" Constantinescu asked suspiciously.

"The Soviet Union has sealed up a lot of tanks, armored vehicles, and armed helicopters since 1991. I don't think President Constantinescu would be interested in these weapons, right?"

Constantinescu shook his head. "Armored vehicles? Tanks? Romania also has them. I don't think these weapons are enough to impress our hearts."

Yanayev knew that the other party's appetite was definitely not small, so he used the idea of ​​throwing bricks to attract jade. It seems that Romania is not willing to cooperate with him obediently without showing some real guys.

According to the previously arranged plan, Yanayev put the Soviet missile on the table as a card.

"Since this is the case, then I would like to say that the Soviet Union still has the world's largest missile arsenal. How about this deal?"

Missile arsenal?

Konstantinescu froze for a moment, if Yanayev was not joking, this is really a gift from the red ghost.

Chapter 668

"In order to gain an advantage in the Cold War, the Soviet Union almost created a hellish rocket army. President Constantinescu, can you imagine that one of the average five scientists back then was an expert in missile science? We have Nuclear strike capability capable of creating hundreds of nuclear winters, long-range missiles, intercontinental missiles capable of destroying almost any continent, and now they’re sitting in warehouses waiting to rust because they have no rivals.”

Yanayev narrowed his eyes, and while observing Konstantinescu's expression, he said calmly, "Now, we plan to secretly sell nearly one-third of the weapons in this missile arsenal, and it's still low. Selling at a low price!" "This is our gift to Romania. Let me ask, who among you doesn't want to become a powerful country in Eastern Europe?"

Soviet missile arsenal?

Constantinescu's eyes widened. This is Romania's dream weapon. As a country with military budget constraints, a free lunch will always make people's eyes shine.What is the anti-missile system?What's more exciting than owning a long-range missile?

Looking at Konstantinescu's expression, Yanayev turned his head sideways, and glanced at Primakov standing beside him.The other party also nodded slightly, indicating that General Secretary Yanayev can proceed to the next step.

Primakov, who was carrying the briefcase, put the briefcase on the table at the right time. He opened the combination lock and placed part of the documents inside.

Primakov handed the materials temporarily translated into Romanian to Konstantinescu. He pointed to the picture above and said, "Long-range air-to-air missiles, long-range air-to-surface missiles, long-range anti-ship missiles, long-range air defense missiles, long-range Air-to-air missiles, these are weapons that the Soviet Union is willing to sell. If Romania has any special needs, you can ask us. Of course, if Romania wants to buy land-based intercontinental missiles, the Soviet Union will carefully consider the price. As long as Romania can afford it. "

Yanayev had already seen the greed in Konstantinescu's eyes, and he smiled knowingly.Who wouldn't want to acquire such a terrible weapon and change the military strength of neighboring countries.

"Isn't the Soviet Union afraid that Romania will threaten the Soviet Union with long-range missiles?" Konstantinescu was a little puzzled, why did the Soviet Union suddenly help Romania with such a large amount of military development?It's crazy, the missile force is the secret trump card of every superpower.

And it's still sold at a low price, even if you win over Romania, you don't need to do this step.

Moreover, the Romanian president at this time is more like a red-eyed gambler, completely ignoring the consequences once Romania possesses such a weapon.Now that Constantinescu was standing on the edge of the cliff, Yanayev gave him a ride.

"Of course we have a reason. To give up, oh no, it should be said that Romania must postpone the establishment of cooperation with the United States in the anti-missile project. At least the anti-missile project can only be carried out after the weapons sold to Romania by the Soviet Union are deployed in Romania. And in order to show the sincerity of the Soviet Union, we are willing to give Romania three Iskander missiles for free."

Yanayev knocked on the table with his hand, and emphasized to Konstantinescu, "This is also the latest development of the Soviet Union, and it is specially used to deal with the Iskander of the anti-missile system."

Yanayev also emphasized the word "special" to make Romania realize that the Soviet Union is developing weapons for anti-missile systems.

"Iskander? Is it the anti-missile system weapon that the Soviet Union has been recommending recently?" Konstantinescu didn't expect Yanayev to be so generous, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
