Unwillingness, anger and remorse, all emotions are reflected on the face.Being played like a monkey, no one can restrain the anger in their hearts.

Yanayev handed another document in the previous briefcase to Konstantinescu, and he said, "Since the situation has evolved to this extent, the President of Romania doesn't want to read it. My other plan Is it? Maybe you will change your mind after reading it. "

Chapter 673 You Have No Way Out

It is Yanayev's routine to give people hope while giving people despair.Seeing that the other party refused to reach out to take the document in his hand, Yanayev shrugged and said indifferently, "I think you will need it, President Constantinescu. Everyone knows that the United States is now very close to Romania. Unfriendly, even if it turns out to be a misunderstanding, it is estimated that the low-interest loan provided by the World Bank will not reach the hands of President Constantinescu, oh yes, there is one more thing, that is, Romania's economy is already bad Seriously, if the United States imposes another economic blockade, how long can Romania last?"

Yanayev's every word was like a sharp knife stabbing into Konstantinescu's chest. He couldn't refute what Yanayev said. As the other party said, it was his greed that led to In the current situation, Romania has no choice but to cooperate with the Soviet Union.

Yanayev shook the document in his hand and continued, "This is the only chance given to Romania by the Soviet Union. If President Constantinescu doesn't cherish it, we will have to add fuel to the fire. You know We still have a lot of evidence of cooperation between Romania and the Soviet Union, if we throw these things to the CIA, will Romania be completely convicted?"

"Romania didn't do these things, you bastard!" Constantinescu finally couldn't bear to curse.

The atmosphere became tense, and everyone around was at a loss, including Primakov who was standing next to Yanayev.He stepped forward and stood next to Yanayev to prevent emergencies.But Yanayev just smiled and told Constantinescu a cruel truth.

"America only cares about what it sees, but who cares about the truth?"

Constantinescu seemed to be exhausted in an instant, and fell on the sofa unsteadily.Yanayev stuffed the plan into his hands, "Enjoy slowly, I think you will like what's inside."

Constantinescu opened the plan inside. He read it very slowly, as if he wanted to find out the trap hidden by Yanayev between the words. Can be replaced.

"The former Soviet Union's assistance will continue. Su-17M4 fighter jets and Iskander missiles will be delivered as scheduled. However, due to objective conditions, the Soviet Union will cancel the long-range missile transaction between the two parties. Originally, we would I didn’t think about the real deal, it’s all just a cover-up.”

However, what Constantinescu values ​​most is long-range missiles. He originally wanted to buy SS-N-21 from Moscow to please the President of the United States.

Is it true that the leaders of the Soviet Union have done nothing for so many years?

"Now that the Americans have fallen into your trap, will Romania lose its use value? How perfect is your trick of borrowing a knife to kill people? Even if I am the president of the United States, I almost believe that Romania has already established a missile base." Constantine Nescu sneered, mocking Kyanayev.He would rather choose to die than believe Yanayev.

"Why don't you listen to me before continuing the discussion, President Constantinescu?" Yanayev said to himself, "Of course, the Soviet Union is willing to provide Romania with an interest-free loan of [-] million U.S. dollars. It is just to make up for the losses caused by your anti-missile system project."

"Hahahaha, it turns out that's the case. After going around in a big circle, I returned to the issue of the anti-missile project." Constantinescu suddenly felt that all this was too absurd. The Soviet Union wanted to prevent Romania from establishing an anti-missile base. , Such a painstaking layout actually removed Romania from the American trust list.

"It seems that the Soviet Union is indeed very nervous about the Western anti-missile system. No wonder that after Yanayev ended in Bulgaria, it will be Romania's next turn. And, it is also no wonder that when Turkey almost signed the anti-missile cooperation project, a coup suddenly broke out. These Accidents are not accidental, the Soviet Union is actually behind all this, isn't it?"

"Now that you know everything, do you think I will continue to let Romania go? It is not difficult to add an offense against Europe to your list, President Constantinescu. Now you and I have They are in the same boat. If they agree to cooperate with the Soviet Union, at least Romania can get an interest-free loan of [-] million yuan. If they reject the Soviet Union, the end will be obvious. If it is lighter, it may be Demirel’s end. If it is important, now Saddam is still on the run. Believe me, you won't like how it ends."

Yanayev pointed at Konstantinescu, who broke all the old fox's self-righteous pride, "You lost, and you lost in a mess. Don't think that you can have both sides. When it's time to stand in line, you still have to Express your position. The Soviet Union’s request is already on this document. Whether you sign it or not is related to the fate of Romania as a whole. It is not the Soviet Union that hurt you, but your greed, President Constantinescu.”

Yanayev still had a calm expression. With his left hand resting on his chin, he gazed at the opponent's pale expression with appreciation. There were many opponents of Yanayev, but in the end, without exception, they all failed disastrously. And return.And what they end up thinking, too, is horrible.

"In other words, there is no way out for you, President Constantinescu."

After Yanayev said this, he completely shut up, and then he had to leave time for the other party to judge, so that Romania would completely give up the opportunity to show its loyalty to the United States.

Constantinescu has already had a bad impression of trying to blackmail the Americans before, so will the United States continue to trust Romania this time?

"I promised to cooperate with the Soviet Union." After a long silence, Constantinescu spoke, "But we have a problem, that is, you must ensure the safety of Romania."

Yanayev shook his head and said to Constantine, "No, no, you are mistaken, President Constantinescu, now is not the time for you to bargain, Romania can only have two choices."

Constantinescu narrowed his eyes, and he asked coldly, "Two choices? What do you mean by that?"

Yanayev unhurriedly lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said.

"Either submit to the Iron Curtain that has returned to Eastern Europe."

"Either become an enemy of the Soviets."

Chapter 674 Don't Believe You Try It

For the Soviet Union, Romania's failure has become a foregone conclusion. Yanayev can break Constantinescu's last psychological defense without even trying. Ku pushed to the edge of the cliff, and Yanayev only needed to let go of his hand, and the other party would collapse.

Before Konstantinescu turned to leave, Yanayev said to him, "Oh, by the way, according to the intelligence of the Soviet KGB, Europe has sent multiple high-altitude reconnaissance planes to hover over Romania, and the US satellite surveillance is also They went over to Romania to monitor the Romanian army facilities, so now Romania has reached the time when all relatives are deserted. Do you need the latest SAM anti-aircraft missiles from the Soviet Union? Maybe you can reduce the loss of ground troops."

Constantinescu didn't want to listen to Yanayev's words, so he turned and left.

Yanayev made a gesture of invitation, "Romania can now go back and hold a press conference to announce that it has not cooperated with the Soviet Union, but this seems to be an attempt to cover up, will the Americans believe it? I am afraid that even Constance President Dinescu himself doesn’t believe it, does he?”

"What else do you want from me?" Constantinescu turned his head, "I have promised you that I have rejected the project of building an anti-missile system with the United States!"

"Do you not quite understand what the so-called 'cooperation' of the Soviet Union means?" Yanayev said with a sneer, "Stopping the anti-missile system project is not enough. Romania was part of the Iron Curtain before, and it is still shrouded by the Iron Curtain now. Remember, the Soviet Union will not let NATO's eastward expansion go any further."

Everyone in the room looked somber and indifferent, shocked by Yanayev's ambitious words.Primakov couldn't think of any way to ease the atmosphere, so he could only wait until one of them retreated first.However, he did not expect that Yanayev would actually take fuel to the fire. He said to Constantinescu, "What we have lost will be doubled and Europe will return it! We will let Western countries pay for their actions." , pay a terrible price!"

The moment Constantinescu glanced back, it seemed that the person behind him was not Yanayev, but his loving father, Comrade Stalin.He turned his head quickly, not daring to look back again.

"It's just to intimidate the other party, and Constantinescu became like that. I really feel sad for the Romanian people. The people elected such a president, whose political means and personal courage are far inferior to Comrade Vladimir's. Yanayev said, holding his forehead, "Also, fortunately, I have not met such a successor."

"What's next? General Secretary Yanayev? If I'm not mistaken, the reconnaissance plane just now was a lie to scare the other party, right?" Primakov stood by the window and looked at the president with his hands in his pockets. As the convoy gradually moved away, he wiped his wet palms on his suit.

"Next, the Americans will come to your door."

As soon as Yanayev finished speaking, he received a call from the Kremlin. Vladimir told Yanayev that the US ambassador to the Soviet Union had just visited the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hoping to have a series of conversations in private.It seems that the Americans have been stimulated by Yanayev's crazy actions, and are now thinking about how to solve the problem peacefully.

Vladimir said on the other end of the phone, "The position of the other party is obvious. If the Soviet Union does not stop its crazy actions in Romania, then there will be a terrible confrontation on the European continent, no different from the Cuban missile crisis. The attitude of the White House is generally like this, including the confrontation of the fleet, the use of political, diplomatic and military means to exert pressure, forcing us to abandon the 'missile base' that did not exist in the first place."

"This is really too bad." Yanayev's expression was a little helpless, "After so many years, can't the US leader change a new way of saying it? Still indulging in the glorious past of the Cuban Missile Crisis? Can't move forward Those who watch will eventually be eliminated."

"Should we contact the White House directly?" asked Vladimir.

Yanayev replied affirmatively, "Of course we need the most efficient way to solve the problem. I am also thinking of having a conversation with President Mario. And this is bound to be a negotiation full of gunpowder. I hope Mario The president has made up his mind to wage a war."

"When you get through to the White House number, please transfer directly to my hotline. This confrontation needs to be fueled and ignited."

"Okay," Vladimir replied.

Yanayev narrowed his eyes, "I just want Romania to be surrounded by cliffs, and there is no way out."

Yanayev, who has always been very efficient in his work, did not resort to a "war of words" between the foreign ministries of the two countries. Instead, he came to the most direct private negotiations to express the political positions of the two sides.Dialogue can solve problems, but also can break out conflicts.There is not much time left for Yanayev, and he always likes to see President Mario's helpless expression.

The White House is not just a person talking to Yanayev, but President Mario's entire high-level decision-making.President Mario first calmed down his mood, and then began to talk to Yanayev, "General Secretary Yanayev, you should know the reason for this private conversation between the United States and the Soviet Union."

"I'm in Bucharest, Romania right now." Yanayev reported the coordinates without hesitation, "and just finished discussing with President Constantinescu how to deal with the next NATO crisis. It seems that he urgently needs to buy a batch Soviet-made SAM anti-aircraft missiles to prevent surprise air strikes by NATO coalition forces."

The Minister of Defense watched President Mario's expression become very exciting, and reminded him in a low voice not to follow Yanayev's train of thought. They came to confront the Soviet Union, not to quarrel.

"Of course, after the NATO joint forces receive the specific coordinates, they will destroy all the missile bases and facilities deployed in Romania by air strikes. No one can threaten the regional security of Europe. No one. General Secretary Yanayev."

Yanayev responded tit-for-tat to the other party, "Of course no one can threaten the security of Europe, let alone the national interests of the Soviet Union. If President Mario wants to try it, I will tell you that the Soviet Union will let NATO Not a single plane of the Combined Air Strike Force can escape Romania. If you don’t believe me, try it!”

Chapter 675 Next time, the iron curtain falls

With the acquiescence of the Romanian Ministry of Defense, the Su-17M4 formation just passed through Romania's airspace. The Su-17M4 formation that was originally planning to land at a military airport received a temporary order from the headquarters, telling them to return to Ukraine immediately and not allow them to enter the country. Romania stay.

Regarding the order issued by the Supreme Command, the Su-17M4 formation certainly followed suit. They crossed the Romanian border airspace and headed towards Ukraine.Although they didn't know what was going on, they had a hunch that something unusual was going on.

President Mario said indifferently, "Similarly, we will never allow a screw of the Soviet Union's long-range missiles to be shipped into Romania. General Secretary Yanayev should understand this. It will disrupt the strategic balance of Europe and will not benefit anyone. .And 15 minutes ago our high-altitude reconnaissance plane detected a group of Su-17M4 fighter jets entering Romanian airspace, can you explain to me what this means?"
