USSR 1991

Hashimoto Ryutaro returned to Tokyo happily, but he didn't expect that this kind-hearted leader of the Soviet Communist Party still had a conspiracy behind him.

As soon as the Japanese delegation left, another person came.

Even Yanayev was a little surprised when the office assistant revealed the identity of the unexpected visitor.

Although the Mutual Economic Aid Committee has become history, the younger brothers in some developed socialist countries are still alive and kicking.After the statement on the development of the Sakhalin-3 project appeared, North Korean ambassador to the Soviet Union Park Eui-chun couldn’t sit still. He found Yanayev through his private relationship, hoping to help almost communist countries that were restricted by oil. See For the sake of the party and the country, give brothers a hand.

Since it was announced in 1991 to stop the supply of low-priced oil to North Korea and restore the price on the international market, countries that originally relied on the Soviet Union for development have suffered a devastating blow.Because of oil, it has directly fallen from a developed socialist country to a poor country where food and clothing are a problem.

As North Korea's vice foreign minister, he certainly cannot sit still.After the Soviet Union announced the Sakhalin-3 project, it also tried to join in and get a share.But it is a pity that the Soviet Union is no longer the big brother of socialism at this time, and will no longer provide selfless assistance to the previous socialist countries. As a "Soviet revisionist imperialist", if you want to import oil, you have to use foreign exchange. exchange.

The prosperity of North Korea is based on the aid of the Soviet Union. Without oil, everything is equal to zero.

When negotiating with Park Eui-chun, who shouldered a heavy responsibility, Yanayev did not let go.

"As I said before, the Soviet Union is willing to negotiate oil export projects with any country. As long as they can pay, we are willing to sell the oil. But if they don't want to pay and get our oil, sorry, this Whoever wants to be the big brother of socialism can do it. You don’t need to talk about capitalist invasion to prevaricate me. The Kim family cherishes power more than anyone else. How can you cooperate with other countries? You don’t want to wait to be overthrown from the regime, do you? "

Yanayev counted on the other party's lifeblood, so he showed such a confident attitude.But Park Eui-chun represents the whole of North Korea. If he can't complete the intervention, he won't be able to do business when he goes back.

"But now that North Korea is in a difficult economic period, I'm afraid we don't have enough foreign exchange to pay for oil..."

Park Eui-chun said this in a very low voice. The current North Korea is completely begging the Soviet Union in a low voice, hoping that the other party can give a little bit of charity to save the socialist brothers back then.

"No problem, we don't need foreign exchange."

Yanayev changed the subject, making the ambassador to the Soviet Union think he saw hope.

"If we can lease the North Korean port and obtain the right to permanently garrison troops, we are willing to use oil instead of paying for the lease funds, how?"

Pu Yichun opened his mouth, already too scared to speak.Foreign garrisons, ceding ports, doing so is tantamount to ceding the integrity of territorial sovereignty.When the big brother of the Soviet Union uttered these words unscrupulously, he showed the ruthlessness that a politician should have.

He didn't understand why generations of leaders had to feed a pack of white-eyed wolves. Even a socialist country should have a limit to its charity. Foreign aid alone accounted for a large share of the Soviet Union's economy back then.

The current general secretary does not have the kindness and kindness of the past. Unless he thinks that the other party is a political role worthy of support, he will never travel all the way to Asia to cultivate Vietnamese monkeys who are destined to fail.

Allies are more expensive and less expensive. If a country like North Korea that has more than enough self-preservation hangs on its last breath, the situation on the peninsula will remain peaceful for more than ten years.

"It's okay, we're in no hurry."

Yanayev waved his hand and said with a smile, "When you think about it, give me an answer."

Chapter 929 The future of North Korea is in your hands

In the original timeline, North Korea used to be a highly developed socialist country, and the Juche idea kept the peaceful evolution tightly guarded. Even though it avoided the tragedy of the drastic change to Eastern Europe, it did not escape the disaster caused by the disintegration of the socialist camp. weight-bearing injuries.

Their tragedies all began in 1991.

Originally, North Korea’s agriculture was highly mechanized. Before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, North Korea obtained a large amount of cheap oil from the Soviet Union, coupled with the assistance of the socialist camp to form large-scale mechanized production.Their agricultural system runs entirely on oil.But after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, North Korea did not have the cheap oil imported by the Soviet Union.The agricultural system quickly collapsed, and then directly affected the living standards of the people, resulting in a half-dead appearance now.

However, the fact that the Soviet Union did not disintegrate does not mean that North Korea's life is easy. As early as 1991, Yanayev has been increasing the price of crude oil year by year.The pressure faced by North Korea is getting worse every year. Compared with the direct collapse in history, the North Korean country on this timeline is more likely to be slowly collapsing, but there is no sudden famine.It was not until 1998 that the price of oil provided by the Soviet Union to North Korea was not much different from the market, that Marshal Kim realized that it was impossible for them to leave the Soviet Union.

If it broke away from the host of the Soviet Union, North Korea's end would be nothing more than a direct collapse.Yanayev was thinking about whether the purpose of the Soviet Union's vigorous aid to North Korea's development was to turn it into a developed agricultural country, and to become a country that could not survive without itself.

Oil is a haunting nightmare that haunts Chairman Kim.

So when Yanayev proposed to exchange ports for oil, the North Korean leader was not angry, but heartbroken.Now that the whole country is gradually declining, it would not be a wise choice if the port can be opened in exchange for the Soviet Union's oil support.

Since the Stalin era, the leaders of the Soviet Union have always been very interested in the Korean Peninsula, because it concerns the strategic interests of the Soviet Union in the Far East. At that time, there was a reason why Stalin suddenly agreed to Kim Il Sung’s plan to unify Korea by force. Because of this At that time, China and the Soviet Union signed a new treaty, and the Soviet Union was about to lose its sea outlets and ice-free ports in the Pacific Ocean, while there were three excellent ports in the south of the Korean Peninsula.If the entire Korean peninsula can be controlled, then the strategic interests of the Soviet Union in the Far East will be guaranteed.

Vladivostok is not a completely ice-free port. The downstream Chongjin Port is the target of Yanayev’s attention. After experiencing the shrinkage of the battle line in the mid-to-late 80s and early 90s, he once again set his sights on his close Far Eastern countries of concern.

Chongjin Port has great geographical advantages whether it is a midway station or a warship port. The Soviet Union can establish a military port stop here, and it can also be used as a midway point for southward transportation in the Far East and a link for exchanges with East Asian countries. , If this kind of port that occupies the right time and place is not won, it will really be a pity for the development of the Red Navy's Pacific Fleet.

Instead of taking one or two navigable ports, the entire Chongjin Port was assigned to the Soviet side.

Yanayev thought very well, so he secretly taught the mystery to the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Park Yichun.

"The Soviet Union can bring North Korea back to life, but it has to pay a price. If Chairman Kim Jong Il is willing to come to Moscow for a meeting, I am willing to show North Korea a way to go, a real way to survive. Of course, I will charge you for the 'service' it deserves. Fees. There is no free lunch in the world, and the Soviet Union also has its own plans."

Yanayev spoke with certainty and did not appear to be lying at all. In fact, he did not need any conspiracy at all, and he could coerce others openly. North Korea is now in such a half-dead state, and Kim Jong-il's stalemate is nothing but tragic ending.In the face of the Soviet Union and dignity, he quickly chose the former.

Because when you die, there is nothing left.

This is the second time Yanayev has met Kim Jong Il in the Kremlin. The last time was to resolve tensions on the Korean peninsula.The other party was also full of suspicion and stepped into the palace under the leadership of Pu Yichun.This neat and fortified palace gave him the greatest feeling that he could feel Yanayev's control over the entire country everywhere.

In the luxuriously decorated Baroque conference room, Kim Il Sung met General Secretary Yanayev who had been waiting for him for a long time.The other party looked like a cold ice cube, exuding an unapproachable feeling all over his body.However, this happened to omit Kim Jong-il's pleasantries, and directly turned to the main topic, the negotiation on the Korean peninsula.

"Now North Korea is facing serious financial difficulties. If the Soviet Union is unwilling to continue to provide oil, it will be difficult for us to continue exporting grains and other food. Everyone knows that North Korea is a highly developed mechanized country. Without oil, it is equivalent to our The farming system is at an end."

Although Yanayev expressed the idea of ​​gloating in his heart, he couldn't show it. He could only keep a serious face and said, "I remember a long time ago, the Soviet Union leased Rason to North Korea, but then North Korea was just a fool. Falling on two sides and rejecting the Soviet Union's garrison plan, this made the Soviet Union very dissatisfied at the time. So now we plan to borrow the port of Sinuiju in addition to your Chongjin port, so that the previous debts can be counted as It's even. You just use Sinuiju and Chongjin Port to pay off the debt, how about it? The Soviet Union is a practical country, and we are willing to sell you oil at two-thirds of the market price. Although the oil price is lower than before It may be a lot higher, but if you think about it, at least your mechanized agriculture can operate on a large scale again."

"What? We still have to lease another Sinuiju?" Chairman Kim yelled out of control, but when he saw Yanayev's expressionless face, he choked back what he wanted to say.

The general secretary seemed very impatient. He waved his hand and said disdainfully, "Then you don't have to lease it, and we won't sell you the oil at a low price. That's it, think about it for yourself."

Chongjin Port has always been Yanayev's goal as an ice-free port, while Sinuiju is a new commercial port for future trade with China. Yanayev does not simply want to compete for a military port, but more around Open up commercial and trade relations with Japan and China.

The Soviet Union is only on the defensive in the Far East. It only needs to manage its own one-acre three-point land. It seems that it has more than enough ambition to go south.

Yanayev can only do this. Who told him that he has a country riddled with holes, and it is not easy to mend it until now.

Chairman Jin is still hesitating. The conditions proposed by the Soviet Union are a bit harsh, because they are not leasing a port alone, but are still opening up a treaty port.This is tantamount to cutting a piece of North Korea's heart and blood at the same time.

"Just imagine, after this year, the Soviet Union completely cut off the low-priced oil provided to North Korea, and your agriculture will be completely desperate. Of course, we have not forgotten the heavy debts you bear. This is for North Korea. It should be regarded as a fatal blow. Under such circumstances, can we maintain the high welfare society for the people? The socialist myth created by Kim will be shattered in an instant, and you will only become the laughing stock of others in the end. This is not It’s not alarmist talk, it’s a bloody fact. The Kim family may lose power on the Korean peninsula, just think about how they treated the Ceausescu couple.”

The Soviet Union did not want the North Korean regime to fall. He needed the power of the other side to contain the expansion of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region.Therefore, intimidation and beating are both appropriate, and Yanayev is just right.

A demagogic old wizard is slowly brainwashing people ruled by fear.He showed a degenerate poverty in front of Chairman Kim and told him that this is your future.

Even the well-informed "Emperor of the Earth" will feel a chill down his spine after thinking about what Yanayev said.

too frightening.

"It's up to you to choose whether to live or die."

Yanayev looked at him indifferently.

"Is it worth it to gamble the fate of the entire North Korean country for the sake of two ports? Tell them that they can feed millions of people in this country. You are the sun of the North Korean people, Chairman Kim."

9 Chapter Thirty Must Develop Nuclear Weapons

Previously, the Soviet Union analyzed the data of Dandong, and roughly obtained the data status of Sinuiju, which is a strip of water.It can berth 5-ton to 0-ton cruise ships, and can also berth 30-ton ore ships, unload container ships of 10000 TEU, and unload grain ships of 7 tons.It can be said that it is by far the most favorable port city to develop into a transit station for the Soviet Union, especially after the expansion, the potential to explode will be beyond Yanayev's imagination.

He will continue to fool Kim Jong Il until he succumbs to oppression.

"So everyone knows that the reason why the people are willing to support a regime is that they can feed that group of people, and it has nothing to do with class struggle or political struggle. Now you can't even protect the stomach of the people, and you still want to protect the integrity of the sovereignty? Stupid, ridiculous, ridiculous. If North Korea insists on not agreeing to cede two ports, just wait for the regime to be overthrown by angry people."

Yanayev's ridicule left Chairman Kim speechless. Everyone understands these principles. Whether you are willing to accept it is another matter.He didn't have time to spend his patience with him. It was not in Yanayev's calculation that North Korea would come to the door. Now that they came to the door, the Soviet Union would not think about letting this group of people go.
