USSR 1991

"Please believe in us, give us some more time, the United States will definitely solve all chemical weapons properly, so that the world will no longer have the terrible threat of chemical weapons."

Hearing this, Shevardnadze almost laughed out loud. It is as ridiculous for Americans to say that they are not a hegemonic country as it is for President Bush to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Of course, those small countries dared to be angry and dare not speak out. In the face of Wu Chang who did not play his cards according to reason, any refutation would be futile.

After Warren finished speaking, there was sparse and mechanical applause from the audience. Everyone expressed dissatisfaction with Warren's speech, especially Libyan President Gaddafi, who showed uncharacteristic indifference when others applauded And indifferent, completely forgetting that he still needs to rely on others to live.

By the time Shevardnadze took the stage, the scene had quieted down, and everyone no longer thought about the hypocritical performances of these UN hooligans.Anyway, this so-called speech was just going through the motions.Shevardnadze walked to the podium, but before he could take out the manuscript, a certain representative in the audience stood up suddenly.

If most people wear suits on formal occasions, then Gaddafi is definitely the most unique one.Wearing the Libyan national service, he stood up and questioned Shevardnadze just as he was about to speak.

"May I ask the Soviet Union to destroy all the chemical weapons? Don't say that your answer is the same as that of the United States. We need to use chemical weapons to find a method of mass destruction." Minister Shevardnadze was somewhat dissatisfied.

"No, the stocks we left behind can be used on the enemies of the Soviet Union first, especially those who offend the dignity of the Soviet Union, and then we will discuss the destruction of weapons of mass destruction." Shevardnadze was not polite retorted.It also used a subtext to tell Gaddafi that you are not qualified to criticize the political issues of the Soviet Union.

Gaddafi smiled coldly, took out a document from his pocket, stood up and held it up high, and said to the surrounding representatives, "My friends, this is the document that the Soviet Union violated the "Destruction of Chemistry". Arms Treaty, they sold a considerable portion of the chemical weapons that should have been destroyed to the Saddam regime."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience fell silent.

The faces of Shevardnadze and Warren turned a little pale by the way. The latter turned his head stiffly and stared at the former who was trying to maintain his composure with an unbelievable gaze, as if he was questioning why the other party became like this.

Gaddafi was complacent. He felt that he had done a very correct thing, which was to discredit the Soviet Union in public.

Chapter 251 Wuchang's Collusion

Gaddafi's statement made everyone very embarrassed. Some things belonged to the open secrets that everyone knows, but it became a little unusual for him to say it like this.What's more, during the Iran-Iraq War that year, the United States also provided chemical weapons to Saddam, and strongly supported Saddam's use of chemical weapons to deal with the Iranian army.Saddam is talking about something now, isn't it the same as slapping the Americans in the face?

Seeing that everyone was indifferent, Gaddafi looked at the evidence in his hand, and said unrelentingly, "These are the evidences that you barbaric Russians have violated humanitarian and UN agreements. You persecuted Forget about Muslims, but I didn’t expect to infiltrate the claws of communism into the Middle East. Aren’t you afraid of our retaliation in the future? Bah, a group of duplicity guys.”

U.S. Secretary of State Warren watched his nose, nose, nose, and heart, pretending not to hear anything.Other representatives of the five permanent members of the United Nations also showed the same attitude, pretending to look around.Only the representative of the Soviet Union looked at Gaddafi's nervous chatter with some embarrassment.

"With all due respect, President Gaddafi." Shevardnadze couldn't bear it anymore. He pointed at Gaddafi and countered, "How do you know that those things are from the Soviet Union? Just because of your blurry photo Has the same vague Russian, thank God, the weapons sold by the Soviet Union between 1960 and 1980 were dozens of times more than the equipment of your entire country combined, so who knows what you call Russian is Heru The Xiaofu era is still a product of the Brezhnev era. I can just take a Satanic nuclear warhead and write Iraq’s name on it, so can I declare to the outside world that Iraq already has nuclear weapons?”

Shevardnadze's reply also made Gaddafi not know how to refute the other party for a while. After a while, Gaddafi was ashamed like a rascal again, "I don't care about these, anyway, I am from the Iraqi army. This is the evidence that your Soviet weapons of mass destruction are under control."

The smell of gunpowder at the conference became more and more intense, and Gaddafi and Shevardnadze were fighting each other without showing weakness, so the United States naturally had to stand up and say a few fair words, "Listen to me, the representative of the Soviet Union said It does make sense. At least from the photos provided by Gaddafi, we cannot tell whether this is the latest weapon provided by the Soviet Union to Saddam, or an obsolete weapon left over from decades ago. So I don’t think Gaddafi has enough The evidence casts doubt on any particular deal between the Soviet Union and Iraq."

This sentence is obviously in favor of the Soviet Union. Shevardnadze naturally nodded to Warren to express his gratitude, but Gaddafi failed to understand the meaning. He thought that the US representative was implying that he would offer more favorable The evidence came out, so Gaddafi shook out all the things he knew.

"That's not true, Secretary of State Warren. The Soviet Union provided weapons of mass destruction to Iraq only recently. They even used civilian cargo ships to smuggle these things secretly into the Iraqi region, the purpose is to cover up people's eyes and ears." Gaddafi Further shaking out more evidence made everyone present seem to return to the scene when Gaddafi revealed the evidence of the nuclear facility.At least at that time, the five permanent members of the United Nations were also extremely embarrassed like this.

"That's enough, President Gaddafi. The United Nations General Assembly is not a place for you to spread rumors and make trouble. If you can really produce strong witnesses and physical evidence, you can throw out all the evidence in the public. But You can’t just take a photo of the real part and the fake part and tell us, look, this is evidence of the Soviet Union’s chemical weapons deal with Iraq.”

At this time, the United States showed its naked protection, and the remaining representatives of the five permanent members of the United Nations also began to echo the speech of the United States representative. At least in the case of Gaddafi, everyone can guarantee the same pace and hate him to the bone. .

"Let me make an analogy. For example, if you think that I killed someone, and the evidence is that the gun left by the murderer happened to have my surname engraved on it. Is it according to your statement that anyone with the surname Shevardnadze is The murderer is here. For the same reason, we don’t know who owns those weapons that still look good, so we can’t arrest and interrogate tens of millions of people with the surname Shevardnadze across the country.”

Shevardnadze's reply was plausible, and for a while even Gaddafi didn't know how to refute it.In the end, the eloquent and eloquent foreign minister replied to him, "If you are doing so well now, don't you worry that you will end up betraying your relatives in the future?"

Under the joint accusations of all the permanent members, Gaddafi finally chose to die down, but he said that he was not finished yet, and the Soviet Union would definitely learn the lessons it deserved in this regard.If Gaddafi could have carefully observed his surroundings, he would have found a so-called vacuum around his seat.Everyone avoided him like a plague patient, fearing that Wu Chang would think that he had something to do with this lunatic.

And at least the representatives of the four permanent member countries have formed a consensus in their hearts, and they will join forces to kill this ignorant guy, except for France.The embryonic form of the Mediterranean Union policy slowly took shape in their plans. Of course, France cannot let go of Libya, a country with a certain weight.So he didn't show much interest in offending France this time.For the French, the loss of interests of the Soviet Union, the United States, and China has nothing to do with him.

After Libya tries to create a West African galaxy in Africa to counter the economic control of the French, the angry French will cooperate with other permanent members of the United Nations and send Gaddafi directly to hell.And warn other Mediterranean countries, this is the end of your unwillingness to cooperate.

Before getting up and leaving, Gaddafi shouted that their representatives to the United Nations are a group of shameless robbers. You have colluded to betray the interests of the African people, and the African people will never let you go.The countries of the third world will definitely unite against your dictatorship and your tyranny.

Sometimes Gaddafi is not stupid, he knows how to win over countries in the third world to build momentum for himself, of course he always overestimates his status in the international community, and there are sinister intentions of Wuchang.

The scene that took place at the United Nations General Assembly today is destined to become a prelude to the Soviet counter-sanction against Gaddafi.How could the gloomy eyes of the Kremlin tolerate such a small country provoking the authority of the Soviet Union.

Chapter 252

When the scene at the United Nations General Assembly reached Yanayev's ears, apart from being angry, the owner of the Kremlin had another thing to do in revenge for what Gaddafi had done.Of course, his first thought was to play tricks on the latest batch of arms deals.

When conducting arms deals with Gaddafi before, the Soviet Union was willing to deliver arms to Gaddafi only after asking to pay 80.00% of the amount.After this United Nations incident, Yanayev thought about how to entrap the other party in the arms deal.

So a few days later, Chemezov, who was the Soviet arms export department, received a special order from Yanayev to replace some of the genuine tanks with those eliminated defective T72 tanks, and then use second-hand T20.00 tanks in rifles and firearms. firearms instead of brand new Kalashnikov rifles.In this way, the batch of munitions that were originally worth hundreds of millions shrank a lot in an instant. If the Libyan military found no problems during the inspection, Yanayev successfully cheated them once. Pay [-]% of the final payment, just beggars sent by Yanayev.Anyway, he has earned it back.

Of course, some people will wonder why they didn't directly withhold this batch of arms. In this way, Gaddafi, who has already paid, will lose more.However, Yanayev considered it from another perspective. Faulty weapons would affect some key battles. The Soviet Union bought a foreshadowing for stabbing the government army in the future civil war in Libya. This is the real behind-the-scenes trick .

As for Yanayev, he is not worried about whether the interests of the Soviet Union in Libya will be lost. After all, the Soviet Union has no right to exploit Libyan oil fields, and Gaddafi is also planning to fall to Western countries. It can be said that the cooperation between the Soviet Union and Libya has already Come to an end.

If there are no longer conflicts of interest, then he doesn't care about throwing Libya into turmoil. In fact, the complicated situation is more conducive to the political game between major powers.An accident in Libya now is far better for the Soviet Union than falling into war decades later.

Of course, this is the first step for Yanayev to take revenge on Gaddafi. The second step is to get in touch with the United States through the hotline of the head of state. Didn’t President Mario always hope that the permanent members of the United Nations can work together to target Libya?In addition to the fact that the French, who tried their best to win over the Mediterranean countries, have always been uninterested in the Washington Consensus of the United States, that is, the Soviet Union, whose attitude has always been erratic, has become the target of the United States.

So when Yanayev took the initiative to talk to President Mario on the phone, the other party felt a sense of elation.The United States and the Soviet Union finally reached an agreement on certain issues.

"I am very glad that we can reach the same consensus on one issue, President Yanayev." Mario, who was originally depressed, also became more comfortable at this moment. Libya is strategically important to the United States.The US President's political adviser has made an analysis for the Libyan incident.

Unless a country that poses a threat to the United States can be cleaned up, the turmoil created in the Mediterranean region can further prevent the French from trying to break the balance of the European situation.The so-called European Union is not so certain. The old continental powers, France and Germany, are constantly at odds within the framework of the alliance.

Once a bomb is detonated in the Mediterranean Sea, coupled with the turmoil in Yugoslavia, the revival that European countries are trying to achieve will come to nothing.Mario wants everyone to know that the decline of the Soviet Union does not mean that you, France and Germany, have a chance to rise again.

But soon Mario couldn't laugh again, because Yanayev's abandonment of aid was conditional, and he didn't want the Americans to get concessions from the Soviet Union for no reason.What the Soviet Union proposed was to exchange benefits for benefits. The concession the United States has to make is that the UN Parliament must weaken the no-fly range established by UN Resolution 668's Southern Watch Operation.

This is a private negotiation between Yanayev and Saddam. Iraq can become a saddle dog, but he must have enough power to control his own country and the army.

In April 1991, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 688, demanding that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein end the oppression of the Iraqi people.But Iraq ignored UN warnings and continued its military oppression of Shia Muslims in southern Iraq, and Saddam Hussein simply chose not to abide by UN resolutions.

So on August 8 last year, US President Bush announced that the United Nations military would begin to implement no-fly missions south of the 26nd parallel north latitude.The purpose of this operation is to ensure that Iraq implements UN Resolution 32.To help monitor the operation, the coalition has prohibited any Iraqi fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft from flying through the no-fly zone.Immediately after the President's statement, the U.S. Central Command established the Southwest Asia Joint Strike Force Command. Its task was to command the coalition forces to monitor the no-fly zone. The operation code was named Southern Watch, August 668, 1992, after the President's statement In less than 8 hours, the military operation officially started.

"It seems that the rumors are true." The US agents have already grasped the clues of the chemical weapons transaction between the Soviet Union and Iraq, but there is a lack of actual evidence and it has been in the foreseeable future. Now Yanayev said this, which is equivalent to disguised Tell the President of the United States that we have a special relationship with the Iraqis.

"It seems that there is indeed some unknown secret between the Soviet Union and Iraq. Is this to threaten Washington and give up the protection of the Arab allies?" President Mario asked tentatively.

"Abandoning an ally? What President Mario said is too serious. I just think that Iraq is also an old customer of the Soviet Union, and we don't want our customers to be harassed for a long time, don't we? I don't see it Which ally of the United States has lost its interests, but I have seen my allies being treated unfairly. And it is still on my own soil."

"But everything has a price, doesn't it?" President Mario sarcastically said, "When Saddam Hussein launched a military oppression against the Shia Muslims in southern Iraq, he was ready to take over our military strike." .After all, human rights have always been higher than sovereignty.”

Upon hearing President Mario's answer, Yanayev sneered, "Tsk tsk tsk, only the conspirators in your White House can talk about things that violate the international order in such a grand manner. Of course, our conditions are like this, You shrink the no-fly zone, we go from being neutral to supporting your military crackdown, it’s just a deal.”

Chapter 253 Double Choice

In the end, the agreement reached between the Soviet Union and the United States was that the Soviet Union stopped aiding the Gaddafi government and turned to support those potential Libyan civilian opposition.The United States, on the other hand, created a favorable external environment for the turmoil in Libya.It can be said that dealing with Libya this time is a joint operation between the United States and the Soviet Union.

In exchange, President Mario agreed to compress the no-fly zone established during Operation Southern Watch, and no longer target Saddam's ground-based anti-aircraft missiles, nuclear facility bases, and missile bases.These ground weapons that previously posed a substantial threat to the United Nations forces were special offensive targets for American fighter jets.

Yanayev did not expect Iraq to really bow down to him.At least until Saddam's ambition to unify the Middle East dies, he will not give up.Because he knew that if the Soviet Union wooed Iraq, then Saddam had two choices.One is to really become the eagle dog of the Soviet Union, and say what you say.The second is to obey the law and violate the law, and continue to have friction and conflicts with NATO's joint forces.And the result is nothing more than a replica of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Anthony Lake, the US President’s National Security Advisor, expressed to President Mario that the relationship between Iraq and the Soviet Union is in a dangerous state, “One is the most extreme regime in the world, and the other is a war madman and a great dictator in the Middle East. There is nothing worse than the end of the world when these two guys collude. Mr. President, it can be said that you made a wrong decision in the negotiations with the Soviet Union."

"Why do you say that Iraq is just a helpless lamb. As long as the United Nations army is willing, our scalpel can cut a deep and visible bone scar on the Iraqi soil at any time to continuously let the blood out." Mario thinks Anthony What he said was nothing more than alarmist talk, and he didn't take it to heart.

Seeing that the President of the United States does not care about Iraq so much, he is a little anxious. The inflated confidence brought by the Gulf War to the elites in Washington is a hidden disaster.They believe that the advanced electronic technology war in the United States will re-establish the hegemony of the United States in the world.The bluff answer of a congressman is "It turns out that the Soviet Union's steel torrent is an outdated product. We have more advanced technological weapons that can deal with the charge of armored groups. Those threats have long since ceased to exist."

Although his speech is suspected of being exaggerated, it also reflects the current mentality of the United States to the world. For generations to come, the self-important conceit has swelled to the extreme.And National Security Advisor Anthony Lake is trying to prevent such sentiment from continuing to spread among the top levels of the government.

"The Soviet Union has colluded with the anti-American forces Khamenei in Iran, and now Iran's internal anti-American and anti-liberal voices have overshadowed the previous voices of easing Western relations." Anthony Lake angrily accused the CIA Mistakes on Iran, "It's clear that a group of CIA idiot leaders don't know how to draw potential allies to deal with our enemies, and they forcefully turn these allies into enemies."
