USSR 1991

Charles silently analyzed in his heart, "The positions of the chairman of the KGB and the Minister of the Interior are obviously different, eh? Does this mean that Yanayev is more optimistic about the Ministry of the Interior than the KGB? After all, the Ministry of the Interior controls the presidential defense force." Such a strong army."

"In the end, there are the little-known Surkov and Putin. Logically speaking, the status of the gray bishop should be closer to the successor, but why is Putin ranked in front of Surkov? At least I know this young man Participated in the Tbilisi incident and the Beslan incident, but it can't be raised to such a level?"

"The most important thing is, what does it mean to have such two young people side by side with the old man of the Politburo? Logically speaking, the most likely successor should be Pavlov. Now start to cut Pavlov means that Yanayev will continue to consolidate his regime? Could it be that the current Kremlin is calm on the surface, but in fact it is undercurrents? "

The more cranky Charles was, the more successful Yanayev's strategy was.One of the most perplexing things for the spies present was Yanayev's "anti-Kremlinism" method, deliberately using mixed information of true and false to mislead everyone present.

Indeed, in the events of Tbilisi and Beslan, the newspapers promoted Admiral Pu!All the credit for Jing was distributed to other people, but Pu!But Jing got something more important than fame, Yanayev's appreciation.The tough method also made him feel at ease!Beijing is listed as one of the political candidates.

If Yanayev only supports one political candidate, it can only show that his emotional intelligence is no different from that of Gorbachev, but he also supports a Surkov to form a check and balance, but it can disperse everyone's firepower and hatred value.After all, in the original history, Surkov was Putin's most reliable political partner, and his means were not too bad.

So far, Yanayev has only provided a platform for Putin and Surkov to have the opportunity to perform as much as possible, and at the same time allow them to accumulate political capital for themselves.Ryzhkov, Pavlov, Pugo, Yazov and other hardliners with real power have not yet left, and young people can only choose to be patient.

And Yanayev's next target to be trained will be Chemezov. After the "test gold" of Soviet arms exports is over, he will be transferred to the Ministry of Defense Industry, and then slowly wait for the opportunity.Young people don't need to rush to be famous all over the world, there will be plenty of opportunities to make you famous in the future.

To balance the power among several old people, Yanayev has already started to act.The next target will be directed at the Minister of the Interior who seems to have a relatively good relationship at present. After all, he has mastered a very important armed force of the Soviet Union.Yanayev came to power relying on the armed forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he also did not want to be driven out by the armed forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Although he can support Putin to become a formal minister, he cannot make Putin who is underqualified.

Therefore, the power between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the KGB has been constantly weakened, and the army has been firmly controlled by itself, which is the primary goal of Yanayev's domestic policy.

The microphone was sent to Yanayev. Yanayev stood on the stage and looked around at the guests and the dense crowd. The originally noisy quartet fell silent.Everyone is waiting for the general secretary's speech.

Yanayev sorted out his thoughts and said, "Here today, I would like to tell you one thing simply. The United States and the Soviet Union will vigorously reduce chemical weapons, such as mustard gas, sarin, tabun, and VX. There are weapons of mass destruction such as Soman. Respond to the call of the United Nations and human rights organizations and contribute to world peace."

At the same time, he stretched out his left hand and introduced the US Secretary of State standing aside, "We have also reached a preliminary agreement with the US government, and both countries will reduce chemical weapons. However, the specific amount will only be determined after detailed discussions." Make a decision. This is why we are here. Because maintaining world peace and safeguarding human rights is the duty of everyone."

When he was talking about this, Yanayev glanced at Secretary of State Warren. It is a condition for every good politician to be as calm as ever when lying.Warren smiled, glanced at Yanayev, and nodded.

"This is one small step for mankind, but also one giant step for world peace." After Yanayev finished his last sentence, the crowd began to applaud. He also clapped symbolically, and then stepped back to wait for Warren's speech. speak.

Also as an outstanding politician, Warren's speech is naturally impeccable.When he talked about the issue of chemical weapons, he just said flatly, thank God, we finally don't have to use such stupid weapons that may poison our own people on the battlefield.The United States has stopped using poison gas bombs for at least ten years.

Yanayev heard this sentence harshly. The last time the United States used chemical weapons on a large scale was in the early days of the Vietnam War, and the last time the Soviet Union was in the Afghan War. Warren was insinuating the stupidity of the Soviet Union.

Yanayev did not refute him, but just smiled calmly. Now it is just a warm-up match, and it will be the real US-Soviet contest when the next secret meeting is held.

"I hope this newly appointed Secretary of State, who is full of confidence, can deal with our attack well later." Yanayev thought silently in his heart.

Chapter 244 A Dirty Deal Between Hooligans

Pass through St. George's Hall and Alexander's Hall, which are responsible for the reception, and then go inside to St. Andrew's Hall.This hall is the coronation place of successive tsars in Moscow, and it is also a sacred hall symbolizing nobility and authority.In the interior of the hall, a very noble blue-gold color is used, and there are exquisite gilt reliefs everywhere from the pillars to the throne.On both sides of the hall, there are exquisite coats of arms made of colored enamel.In addition to exquisite elegance, the rest can only give people admiration.

Previously, Secretary of State Warren proposed the idea of ​​visiting St. George's Hall. As the host, Yanayev naturally met his request and took him to this legendary palace where Ivan the Terrible was crowned king.Stepping on here, you can feel the profound heritage of Russia for hundreds of years.

Warren stood in front of the throne, which symbolized the coronation of the king, and the golden curtain was gently draped. On the throne, the radiant sun was depicted in gold, symbolizing that the tsar shrouded Russia like a shining sun.

Of course, in Warren's eyes, this fiery golden sun makes him shudder like Yanayev's hands controlling Russia and threatening world peace.

"I think Mr. Warren asked me to bring you here, not just to visit this St. Andrew's Hall." Yanayev stood behind Warren, and he reminded the other party that he had better say something now Come out, "We Slavs have always disliked talking around the bush with others. If Mr. Warren has something to say that he wants to avoid being heard by others, he can say it here."

"Of course I stand here because I have something to say to President Yanayev." Warren turned his head, his eyes flashed with a dangerous light, "After all, I am negotiating with you on behalf of the United States. Of course you and I know The so-called negotiating team is just a formality, and we are the ones who make the final decision."

"It can be said that even if they discuss the conclusions reached for a day, we can completely overthrow them with just one sentence. Then the negotiating team will continue to discuss, can't we?"

Yanayev smiled suddenly. He looked at the dome of the hemisphere, and the golden decoration on it was clearly visible. "I like your honesty, Secretary Warren. Now let's discuss the reduction plan of chemical weapons."

"The treaty promulgated by the United Nations stipulates that each State Party shall submit to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons a detailed declaration of chemical weapons and chemical weapons production facilities no later than 30 days after the Convention enters into force for it, which shall list their exact locations and quantities, and provide a general plan for its destruction."

Warren asked straight to the point, "I just want to know how much President Yanayev has in your huge stockpile of chemical weapons?"

Warren's answer was a little bit of ignorance and confusion. The CIA had already found out the Soviet Union's chemical weapons inventory. Those high-altitude reconnaissance planes that flew over the Soviet Union in the 60s took photos of the Soviet Union's secret production base of chemical weapons. An era is much more.

But the Soviet Union is also not a vegetarian. Now that they know the flight trajectory of the US high-altitude reconnaissance plane, they can also take countermeasures. That is blackmail, deliberately exaggerating the number of biological and chemical weapons in the Soviet Union.

Originally, the United States was unable to find out the whereabouts of those sealed weapons, but when the Soviet Union deliberately transferred the warheads in its inventory to other places, it was photographed by an American high-altitude reconnaissance plane.And those gas warheads are just restocked stocks.In this way, when the CIA is discussing, it is easy to come up with false data.

In order to make it more real, the Soviet Union also launched surface-to-air missiles at the US reconnaissance planes in retaliation for their high-altitude intelligence reconnaissance.In this way, the CIA believed that the number of gas bomb warheads in the Soviet Union was actually more than half of the true number.

In the nuclear weapons reduction treaty and the treaty limiting the number of intercontinental missiles, the Soviet Union also used this method to deceive the United States once, so they actually have much more than Americans imagined.

"It doesn't matter how much our inventory is. What matters is how much the US wants us to reduce?" Yanayev also asked directly, which is what he cares most about.

"Of course we are prepared to reduce to the same level as the United States." Secretary of State Warren pointed out this point directly, "The Soviet Union cut the number by two-thirds, and the United States cut the number by one-third. On the same level, the negotiation will be considered a success.”

Yanayev thought in his heart that the old fox finally showed his feet. Although the Americans said that they respected the resolutions of the United Nations, they actually wanted to bring the Soviet Union and themselves to the same level.

"And the treaty stipulates that the destruction of our chemical weapons and chemical weapons production facilities must be completed within ten years. Only in exceptional circumstances, the deadline for the destruction of chemical weapons can be extended by up to five years, and chemical weapons production facilities can be converted to Peaceful purposes, but when refitting, it should be ensured that such facilities will not be refitted for purposes prohibited by the convention." Yanayev deliberately teased the other party, "It is only reduced to a uniform level, which does not comply with the United Nations regulations."

"But we are the ones who set the rules in the United Nations. As long as we want to do what we want, which country can control it?" Warren's tone clearly revealed the ambition of the two gangsters to unite and dominate the world.Of course, in some incidents that harm others and benefit oneself, the attitudes of hooligans and hooligans are the same.Although this convention requires all parties to abide by the same regulations, there are exceptions to these regulations for the five hooligans.Of course, your United Nations can refuse to accept the collusion of the interests of the five permanent members. At worst, we can change to another Secretary-General of the United Nations.

"But I will not agree to your request. We refuse to cut two-thirds of the quantity. If you think the bottom line of the negotiation is two-thirds, then I am sorry. I think this transaction can no longer continue." Ya Nayef told Warren that he was not an idiot, and if he really wanted to cut two-thirds of the amount, he would absolutely tear up the documents of the chemical weapons destruction treaty on the desktop.

"Of course we won't let you weaken two-thirds of your chemical weapons in vain as a condition for some exchange." Warren took a deep breath and said slowly, "On the issue of the four northern islands, the Americans You can choose to turn a blind eye and close one eye. We will stop arms sales to Japan in the near future. We will also express non-interference on the issue of the four northern islands.”

"Huh?" Yanayev didn't react, but he understood after thinking about it.Now is the Cold War period, and the strategic center of the United States is not in East Asia.

"You mean the island dispute between Japan and us? With all due respect, the Soviet Union has an absolute advantage in the island dispute."

"However, the Americans can state that they will not involve the Pacific Fleet in the dispute over the four islands. We are maintaining Japan's territorial integrity, but this does not mean that we will extend our jurisdiction to those disputed islands and reefs. "The United States is now focusing on the Middle East and Europe. As long as Japan does not die, the United States does not mind letting the Soviet Union taste the sweetness.

Moreover, things like policy will actually change with the changes of the US decision-making level. If you choose to make a concession today, you will change the leader tomorrow, and then you will change back.Therefore, Warren does not need to worry that the Soviet Union will really launch an offensive suddenly. The situation in East Asia is about the balance of interests.What's more, sacrificing some of Japan's interests to ensure the military balance between the United States and the Soviet Union, Warren feels that this deal is very cost-effective.

"We are only willing to reduce our weapons by half. This is our bottom line. Of course, I also need your affirmative answer on the issue of the South Kuril Islands." Yanayev said, he also knew that the Americans were unreliable , so we hope to obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost.

I really thought that the Soviet Union would maintain balance on the issue of the South Kuril Islands. Today you promised non-interference, and tomorrow I will establish a Far East military base on the islands.

"Deal." Warren, who also had a trap behind the concession, stretched out his hand. The Soviet Union's half reduction target was his ideal amount.He smiled and said to Yanayev, "Pleasant deal, President Yanayev. But I still have a deal, I don't know what you want?"

"What deal?" Yanayev asked succinctly.

"About Libya, Gaddafi."

Chapter 245 agreement agreement

Hearing Warren's answer, Yanayev suddenly remembered what the protagonist said in a certain movie for some reason, if you come out to mess around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.

"Last year, 45 African countries approached the IMF for a satellite fund project, and President Yanayev must have known about it," Warren said.

Gaddafi gave the people of Africa the opportunity to own communication satellites. In 1992, 45 African countries decided to have their own satellite, which would cover all communications from Internet to telephone communications.They decided to go to the International Monetary Fund for a loan, but the IMF understood that financing this project was dangerous for Western countries.Why?Because western countries make $5 million a year from communications in African countries.$5 million per year, excluding interest.That's how much they earn.

"But I know that the International Monetary Fund has rejected it, and now Africa has no funds to carry out this project." Yanayev said indifferently, anyway, there was no follow-up to the incident of the African communication satellite, Yanayev I'm not worried that one day the African people will be able to rise up, and there will be black technology to beat the US imperialism.

"Who said no, now Gaddafi stands up and says he is willing to lend money for this project." Secretary of State Warren said helplessly.

His answer also made Yanayev stunned for a moment. You must know that Gaddafi was willing to bear most of the funds for this project in 2007.And it was only later that Africa got its first communication satellite. Gaddafi caused the West to lose 3 million U.S. dollars in annual net income by funding this project, and Gaddafi himself only paid [-] million U.S. dollars. Gaddafi really dared to use the method of making money. Didn't he know what would happen if he went against the world?

Fortunately, it is still 1993. After the start of the Barcelona process in 1995, if the Soviet Union can act as a behind-the-scenes force behind France and bring the Mediterranean Union to the stage of history in the 90s, then Gaddafi's civil war will come even more fast.Because of his stupidity, he rejected the invitation of the French Union for the Mediterranean, and offended the last hooligan who was still willing to support him.Since then, the five gangsters have all stood on the same front. They issued a unanimous statement that everyone will kill Gaddafi together, and whoever does not do it will be the grandson.

"What we have to do now is to achieve a consistent voice internally and unite against Gaddafi." One of the reasons why Warren came to discuss this matter with Yanayev was also because Gaddafi had previously discussed the Chechnya issue. The Philippines accused the Soviet Union of violating human rights and adopting a high-pressure policy against Muslims in the country. For Yanayev, who has always adopted a high-pressure policy against Muslims, this is intolerable.
