USSR 1991

"This is the battle report from a month ago, this is the battle report from half a month ago, and this is the battle report that was sorted out recently. Have you seen Ni Duan?"

Mario put his eyes close together and carefully compared the dozen or so telegrams, but he didn't seem to be able to spy any clues from them.

Posta drew a strange curve on the whiteboard, with time on the x-axis and the danger of the situation on the y-axis.Then Mario saw that at certain points in time, the urgency curve suddenly increased.And those points in time were before and after the American fighter jet was shot down by the Sam missile and the Polish armored forces were defeated in the first battle.

Only then did he realize what the telegrams represented.

And the chill coming from the body.

horrible……

Posta pointed to the established data model and explained these things in the simplest words, "The most interesting thing about these telegrams is that the crisis level of the situation is on the rise, almost suddenly soaring at certain points in time. Cooperating with the previous intelligence can I inferred that it was the two periods when the Soviet Union started with military assistance and then the mysterious Invincible Army appeared on the battlefield. So I made a bold inference that the Soviet Union regarded the importance of Romania as a way to break the blockade of Eastern Europe The first hurdle. If even Romania fails, I am afraid that the next leader, or the next leader will be trapped to death on the cold frozen continent. Yanayev must seize this fleeting opportunity, Find ways to make waves in Romania. So far he seems to be doing very well."

The Secretary of Defense's heart sank. The chief of staff's alarmist talk and the US President's hesitation made him afraid that the battle would not be fought.

"Whether you want to admit it or not, this is an irrefutable fact. We lost, and no matter how we try to reverse it, we cannot escape the dilemma of failure. Maybe your Excellency will think that sending troops in the past can solve all problems. First of all, this problem It is unwise. We were able to bypass the United Nations in the Iraq war, but Romania may not be able to. The Middle East issue has never involved the core of Romania, so the Soviet general secretary can not care. But Romania involves core interests, they cannot not care, and it is doomed There was a lot of difficulty in the UN Security Council last time."

"The most frightening thing after sending troops is not to defeat the regime in Bucharest, but whether we can successfully support our own forces in the future. However, from the previous actions, we have all failed, including the recent Iraq. The establishment of a democratic regime is not Sada After experiencing the failure of the Gulf War, he changed his strategy. Since he could not use his own army to expel the invaders, he played a guerrilla warfare routine, and judging from the previous battle situation, it was not too bad. Security The war is muddy and muddy, and it is very difficult to get out of it when you get stuck in it.”

After talking so much, Posta paused.The examples cited back and forth are just to tell them the importance of stop loss, and stop filling the bottomless pit with family wealth. The country is still in a mess, and Mario should step down if he is wasting "taxpayers' money" like this.

The guys who can climb to this level are all human beings, so they naturally understand the truth.But the Ministry of National Defense also has its own ideas, that is, taking advantage of the extraordinary period of the war to expand Congress's budget for the Ministry of National Defense and bring Romania into it.

The relationship between the Department of Defense, the White House and Congress is very delicate.

"Are you sure we will lose before the war begins?"

Mario said slowly, his tone has changed from firmness at the beginning to suspicion and confusion.It seems that the chess game that I have seen clearly for a long time has become confusing again in the end.

Posta shook his head and said slowly, "It's not that we will lose."

"It's that we don't even have a chance to start a war."

Chapter 9 and Eight

The most vicious politicians and the most ruthless capitalists are probably the same. They must be ambitious, and their realm determines their vision and pattern, and it is easier to think about what the other party is thinking.The small group of people who have climbed to the top of the pyramid of power always like to use trade-offs and interests to consider their next move. For example, Posta now throws a "poisonous plan" to President Mario.

Even after hearing the plan, His Excellency the President couldn't help hesitantly asking if it would work.This move is too damaging, and if it is not used well, it is very likely that there will be a counterattack.After all, no one can afford the final consequences.

The silence in the conference room was in stark contrast to Posta's eloquent talk.Everyone wants to know whether the newly appointed White House chief of staff can solve the crisis.

Mario was a little disappointed, he thought that the other party would come up with more clever means, but in the end he only threatened to retreat.

"Is there no better way? And this trick...will make us offend the Romanian government we support now?"

"I disagree."

Chief of Intelligence Tenet raised his hand, and his tone was a bit confrontational, "So what should we do before? Just watch them go to waste like this? At the beginning, the Pentagon convened all the think tanks to analyze the situation and concluded that The result is that as long as we continue to intervene, the worst thing is that the two powers will coexist."

"Perhaps you should change a group of think tanks. It's not the Pentagon's fault. It's because you take your opponents too weak and your allies too reliable. You have to let him die for us, but you don't give us what we deserve. Bonus, that country would be stupid to do this to you? Isn't the guy who hanged outside the Capitol the best example?"

Almost the allies of the United States were either assassinated by bombs or hanged by the opposition.

Posta nodded, and joked in a tone of a strong man breaking his wrist, "Of course, throw out the big capitalists and even the whole family of Luke Day, and die in the hands of Voinea, or die in the rioting rebels. It’s better in the hands, the people who die now are better than the other party in the future. They shot all the seeds of democracy and freedom to a minimum, and there is still hope of winning a game. When we abandoned the Vietnamese government, no one dared to blame us. .”

Posta wants President Mario to recognize a fact.

"The influence of Voinea's blacklist is too great, so that every faction will keep their eyes on the fat sheep who are rich and unwilling to leave Luke Day."

The US ambassador to Romania and a series of related personnel have been evacuated from Romania long ago. Most of the people still staying in that chaotic country are intelligence personnel, and only some of them are caused by industry.The oligarchs live here, they are nothing without Romania.So even though Luke Day has reached the verge of danger, they still hold on to this country and don't let go, because once they let go, what awaits them is a trial and a verdict.

It's better to hang yourself with banknotes than to die destitute with nothing, and things aren't as bad as they should be.

Posta replied very casually, "The reason why the Soviet Union will win is the same as the reason why you think it will lose. The other party will not care how many people will die in this war. Their purpose is to incite the crowd against the gap between rich and poor in Romania. The Soviet Union's calculations are the most accurate. It is useless to support these corrupt regimes. We simply send them out a little bit, and then train a new group of rebels, dragging the situation in Romania. Now it is the general trend. We don't know how much effect this will have in the end. But what is certain is to prolong the civil war in Romania."

"Nationalists are easy to incite, especially portraying the Soviet Union as an aggressor and the Southern Army as a traitor to the country. After all, the Soviet Army initially intervened in the Romanian incident on the grounds of border conflicts, and cooperated with the coup rioters. The Bucharest regime was established. And those factions that were originally dissatisfied with the Soviet Union, without compromising with Luke Day and the Bucharest regime, the establishment of an independent and free Romanian state is their pursuit."

Posta said slowly, "Especially in terms of land issues, the Soviet Union is an aggressor. In this country, Romania, people don't need freedom or democracy. They need constraints, national borders, and most importantly, protection. The people need a Chaos can be avoided by limiting and immobilizing the leaders needed to make the country prosperous and stable. If such people exist, they will follow them voluntarily.”

"Look at what we have achieved after so many years of instigating rebellion in Eastern Europe? One corrupt regime after another was cultivated and then overthrown. Everyone, in the aspect of inciting riots, you failed the test paper."

Posta unceremoniously accused the CIA, the Ministry of Defense, and even Yanayev, accusing them of being wrong from the beginning.

"It is not tanks, missiles and fighter jets that determine the future of Romania, but the people. Yanayev saw through this, so Voinea was able to be so powerful. Without the guidance of the Kremlin behind, Voinea and Luke They're nothing more than corrupt warlords than those idiots of Japan."

"No matter which battlefield we are on, our enemy is Moscow, and to be precise, it should be Yanayev."

Posta's words were astonishing, and the group of people from the Ministry of Defense and the Intelligence Agency were speechless.Before, they had been thinking about issues from the standpoint of order defenders, but they didn't know why this ended in the end.

When they failed to come up with a better plan for Posta, everyone walked out of the room with resentment.

The President of the United States no longer agrees with the continued increase of troops, which means that there is no need for them to continue pursuing this issue.

After the meeting dissipated, the blockbuster Posta was left behind.The previous chief of staff of the White House resigned because he often disagreed with President Mario, and now Posta has become President Mario's chief of staff.

Mario wanted him to come up with an exact plan that would minimize the loss.

Without even thinking about it, Posta blurted out the plan he had prepared.

"Abandoning the Luke Ri regime is the most sensible decision. But it requires a certain amount of courage and courage. Not everyone can do this, because they are unwilling to tie all their interests to it in exchange for Withdrawing, everyone has complaints. Of course, they can continue the war, and even send the US military to capture Romania. At the beginning, it was indeed overwhelming, and they drove straight in. But after a long time, they will find that they have not won, and the US military may control it. 80.00% of the territory, but guerrilla warfare and bombing attacks emerge in endlessly, coupled with the competition of various forces in Romania, the result is that Romania has become the second Baghdad.”

As human beings know their destiny, Posta advised the President of the United States not to have too much hope for Romania.How can there be such a plan that has the best of both worlds, which can win Luke Day and squeeze Yanayev out.

"What about the Soviets? Are we not going to deal with them?"

Mario was a little annoyed when he thought that the Eastern European defense line had been torn open.His anxiety comes from the expansion of Eastern Europe, and the heart disease of successive US presidents only started to spread again when it came into his hands.

Without the death of the Soviet Union, the chaos in Eastern Europe will not end.

Posta knew the situation in the White House and Mario's difficulties, but he could only comfort him by saying, "Even if they take down Romania in the end, Moscow will need to rest and digest such a large territory for the time being. It is impossible to do it again in the short term." It has expanded to the west. And the card of Germany has been on the card, which means that Yanayev is no longer able to conspire as before. The deal between the German Democratic Baath Party and Moscow has been completed. From then on, the Soviet Union Another ally is missing. They are a regime with half a foot in the coffin, only relying on the accumulated capital and oil to survive until now. Without these, the Soviet Union will die."

Posta pointed his finger at Berlin, which is the direction for the United States to seek a breakthrough.

"We have seen clearly that the Axis alliance in Europe is not as reliable as they advertised, and both sides are still on guard against each other. After the United States slows down its offensive pace, it may receive unexpected results. And before Turning against Germany gave the Soviet Union an opportunity to drive a wedge between the two countries. If the United States and Germany had firmly stood on the same front at that time, Yanayev would have no chance to resist now."

Posta sighed, feeling a little sorry.The upper echelons of the United States have always been troubled by conservative liberalism, coupled with provocations from Eastern Europe, which led to the current situation.

He didn’t say anything on the surface, but it was actually Posta’s dissatisfaction with the policy mistakes of the United States in the past six years. Obviously, under the general trend of 1991, the Soviet Union could be pushed to a desperate situation without conspiracy, but he had to play tricks behind his back. The allies of the Soviet Union also calculated it together. In the end, the Soviet Union did not collapse, but it made people lose their minds.

Posta's policy of shrinking the front finally convinced President Mario, and the preaching of the Ministry of Defense could no longer shake the trend of shrinking the front in Eastern Europe.He decided to give up the Luke Ri regime, give up everything they worked so hard to build, keep his strength, and stand still.

Give the Soviet Union a break for now.

Posta held his chin with his right hand and his voice was gloomy. He really hoped to regard Yanayev as an opponent, a challenging opponent.Making things even more interesting during his own tenure as White House chief of staff.

"This war is not lost yet, President Mario, as long as NATO troops are not completely withdrawn, we have a chance. After we recover, the Soviet Union will have no chance to take another step west. I want them , come and go.”
