USSR 1991

Since Poland disagrees, Yanayev will not be reluctant, because Poland will one day pay for its stupidity.

The next thing he has to do is to further deepen the gap between Hungary and Western Europe, and the United States, create divisions, and win over Hungary.

Relying on one economic trade alone can only make Hungary grateful to Dade, but it cannot make the other party follow him wholeheartedly, so it is best to let Arpad know that they have no way out except to follow the Soviet Union.And Yanayev's next step is to make a fuss about the World Bank that provides loans to Eastern Europe.Rumors have always had more impact than truth.

So the Soviet Union also began to spread a large number of rumors about the World Bank to Eastern Europe. Newspapers, radio stations, and all available means were used. Just like flies that do not bite seamless eggs, the concealment done by the World Bank before is very deep and dirty. Things broke out, rumors about Western European countries trying to economically control Eastern Europe.The most important thing is that those reports that have been verified by a large amount of data make people have to doubt the authenticity of what they say about the World Bank.

How will the disgruntled masses feel when they find out that the government has been lying to them that democratic freedoms are nothing more than empty promises they gave to win votes?Will you regret abandoning socialism and embracing hypocritical Western-style democracy?

Some people scoffed at these reports, while others believed them to be true.

The policy of the government with interests in mind will naturally not be confused by such an obvious report, but for the civil opposition and the masses who are dissatisfied with the economy, this is the best fuse to fan the flames.Especially after the government authorities banned these reports, the dissatisfaction of the masses began to show.

One report is not enough to overthrow the regime in Eastern Europe, but this is the first time that the Soviet Union, which has been silent for several years, has launched an offensive of public opinion, and it also sent a signal to the United States and its allies.

Scared, Americans?

It is not the steel torrent of war, but the meddling of conspiracy and conspiracy.

The Iron Curtain of the Soviets is returning to Eastern Europe.

Chapters 4 and [-]: Tragedy in Poland

The intensified resistance of Poland and Hungary made the European Union feel that it is not easy to lead the team. Not to mention the Soviet Union, even Western European countries feel very helpless against Kwasniewski's policy of making enemies. A country that can unite the whole of Europe to kill it may only be Poland since ancient times.

Poland is stupid because of the national self-confidence of so-called Polishism. Since it became independent from the red forces in 1989, it has beaten the Soviet Union and Germany. It has almost become the slogan of every Polish leader to wipe out the shame of subjugation in World War II. It is a dream to restore the glory of Wladyslaw II during the Polish-Lithuanian joint dynasty. It is no wonder that the high-level Polish leaders with inflated and distorted self-confidence always make some strange remarks.It is even more inconceivable than the Soviet Union's hidden ambition to recover Constantinople.

Recently, Kwasniewski made amazing remarks at an international conference. He said that no country should try to control Poland's economy. Although Poland has escaped from the shadow of the Red Empire a few years ago, it is absolutely Will not become an economic slave of the free world, no matter what machinations the other side resorts to, Poland will never perish.History belongs to Poland, and victory also belongs to Poland.

Kwasniewski only criticized the wealth plundering of the Western world, but understated the aid and support of the Soviet Union. It seems that Poland has also been careful and regards the Soviet Union as a way out for itself.

On the TV news, the Polish President Kwasniewski, who made a speech, looked like the leader who led Poland to ZTE. He was full of justice and hope. Even Yanayev in front of the TV Seeing his performance, he also nodded slightly, and said mockingly, "He is really an excellent politician who is good at deceiving the people. Unfortunately, what the people need is a leader who can lead them out of the predicament, not a political clown who speaks without evidence."

The louder the President of Poland shouted the slogan, the more it meant that Poland had not found a way out of being plundered. It set up trade barriers without authorization and refused to accept mediation. After the World Bank controlled by the United States stopped providing loans, it refused the Soviet Union's assistance. Poland's death has opened everyone's eyes.Therefore, politicians hope to appease the masses with unrealistic promises, which can only be guaranteed for a while, but cannot guarantee future development.

"The next group of European countries must have dug a hole and waited for Poland to jump into it. They just hope that he will be honest for a while, and they are still unwilling. Isn't it good to live? President Kwasniewski."

However, what Yanayev did not expect was that the revenge planned by Western European countries came faster than expected. Just when Poland was complacent, a call from the Elysee Palace sent the top leader of Bellevue Palace People raised their spirits.

"Recent movements in Poland have worried our European allies. What do you think of this, President Chirac?" Vasniewski's enthusiasm.

"Compared with Poland, I am actually more worried about Hungary, which is closer to the Soviet Union. I didn't expect that it would be pushed to the red camp under the situation of pressing every step of the way. This is very unexpected." Chirac took off his glasses. , wiping it down gently before replying to Cole, who confessed his concerns.

"Of course, it will be much easier to deal with Hungary after clearing up the Poland blocking the way first. It saves us from concentrating our firepower on Hungary, and Poland makes some small moves behind us."

Kerr joked, "Kwasniewski doesn't have the guts."

"Who knows." Chirac shook his head seriously.

After the two parties in the call were silent for a while, Cole took the lead to break the awkward situation. He came up with a not too clever note, "Maybe we can get Poland to take the bait, isn't it a trade war? Then we Wouldn't it be enough to let Poland forcefully cancel the protective film she put on herself?"

"You mean, pull Poland into the World Trade Organization?" Chirac froze for a moment. He didn't expect that Cole would actually use the means of the World Trade Organization.Last year's GATT negotiations in Marrakech, Morocco, resulted in the Uruguay Round ministerial meeting deciding to establish a more global World Trade Organization to replace the previous GATT.Although the newly established World Trade Organization has not really started to operate, the accumulated member states of the GATT mean that the WTO has just been established as a high-profile international organization.

"Yes, to pull Poland into the World Trade Organization, haven't they been submitting applications before? Although we repeatedly delayed the opportunity in July, Poland, which has always been soaring with vanity, heard that it can join. The previous ones Will they still remember their grievances?"

In Kerr's eyes, Poland is a country that does everything possible to jump into the fire pit and is grateful to those who pushed him into the fire pit. WTO?That is just a more grandiose excuse for European countries to dump goods to plunder the wealth of other weak countries. The Soviet Union, rejected by Western Europe, can choose not to play according to the rules of the other party, and even has the idea of ​​​​setting up a trade circle of its own, but Poland is thinking about it. The World Trade Organization is going to the pinnacle of life.In fact, many hideous-looking developed countries are ready to carry out a legal plunder against him.The law of the jungle is cruel, and the weak are dangerous.

"So after throwing the bait to Poland, let him play the game according to our rules. The first thing is to remove trade barriers, such as export subsidies for Polish agricultural and sideline products, and reduce customs duties. Dumping into Poland, if there is a trade war, we have never been afraid of Poland.”

Chirac laughed, indeed, compared to encountering the opponent's half-conspiracy and half-conspiracy counterattack before, it is better to use rules to restrict the opponent's actions, and the more grandiose the means, President Kovaniewski has nothing to say, after all, it was you Crying and begging to join.

Prime Minister Kerr continued, "After Poland is settled, it will be easy, and then Hungary can be wooed. Instead of letting the Russians consume Hungarian sausages, they will have more choices and opportunities after joining the WTO. I think Al Pad should be very clear about who is more important, this is the World Trade Organization inviting other countries to apply, Arpad will never let go of such a perfect 'gift'."

"After Hungary and Poland have both fallen into the trap, we can reap the harvest openly. At least in the early stage, we must let other countries see the advantages of joining the World Trade Organization, and we can plunder their wealth when they are almost mature. .”

Chirac asked, "You mean the 15-year protection period?"

"No, no, the 15-year protection period is too long." Cole said while holding the phone, flipping through the WTO regulations, "The 15-year protection period is not in our interests, so Poland cannot be a developing country. To join the World Trade Organization as a country, but as a non-developing country. Of course, as compensation, we will give them a certain time limit to ease their hesitation. However, this plan must be negotiated with other countries. After all, the WTO is not our WTO."

"But everyone wants to cheat Poland, don't you?" Chirac said. He can already imagine that the WTO member countries are already standing at the door, with butcher knives hidden behind their backs, waiting for Poland to come to the door with a smile on their faces.

"A one-year or two-year temporary trade protection period is our condition. If we can reach a consensus agreement between the United Kingdom and the United States, then we will allow Poland to join the World Trade Organization. It is said that next year we will hold the first WTO If Poland does not take advantage of this opportunity to take a ride at the Ministerial Meeting, when will it wait, so in any case, Poland will not miss this opportunity to jump into hell."

President Kerr finally summed it up and closed the last page of the WTO regulations with a smile. Looking back at the snowy Berlin outside the window, Poland was partitioned once during World War II, and now their economy will be divided by other countries. The nations united and divided up again.

Prime Minister Cole sighed and said slowly, "There are too many refugees, it's time to divert the conflict and attention."

Chapter 4 Pushing Poland into the Pit of Fire

The only one that can unite the four capitalist empires and want to share a piece of fat from it is Poland, which is infinitely deadly. After Germany and France simultaneously proposed an agreement to approve Poland's accession to the WTO, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer Kenneth Clark and U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin came out at almost the same time to issue statements in support of the German and French proposals.And countries with a little knowledge of the actual situation can see that the four capitalist empires are preparing to cut off a large piece of meat from Poland to temporarily ease the weakness and depression caused by the economic crisis.

British Chancellor of the Exchequer Clarke said in an interview with Reuters that Poland's entry into the WTO will help promote the economic development of Eastern and Central European countries, as well as promote the development of multilateral cooperation in the WTO. Overall, this is for Poland It is a challenge, but also an excellent development opportunity, which will greatly stimulate the economic and trade cooperation between Eastern Europe and Western Europe, and lay the foundation for the bright future of Europe.

The words of US Secretary of the Treasury Robert are more direct. He said that Poland's entry into NATO will greatly promote the development of the US economy and bring a new pattern to the cooperation between the US and Eastern Europe. At the same time, it can also effectively guarantee the strategic security of NATO in Eastern Europe. , almost every sentence is serving the interests of the United States. Looking at the impassioned US Treasury Secretary at the press conference, almost everyone thinks that the spring of Eastern Europe has arrived.

But spring is always short-lived, because Poland is greeted with a harsh winter.

Apart from the spokespersons of the four imperialist capitalists, the only one who can still laugh is Polish President Kwasniewski. He naively believes that the promises made by the four capitalist giants are all What Poland fought for itself won the respect of the country through foreign trade struggles.Even President Kwasniewski talked about his exploits with those around him during meals.

"Although the most powerful Western countries agree to Poland's entry into the World Trade Organization, what I want to point out is that this result was not given by others, but by Poland itself. Poland does not need others' sympathy, nor does it need others' support. Charity, we have proved to the world that Poland is also a powerful country, and even Western Europe dare not sanction us casually. Once Poland takes tough measures, even Western countries will choose to be soft.” Kwasniewski said triumphantly .

Kwasniewski saw the trap that Western Europe had set for him as a victory for Poland, unaware that the finance ministers of those countries were gathering to discuss how to dismember this piece of meat that was delivered directly to their door.Want to earn the respect of others?First of all, you have to have strong economic strength.Otherwise, apart from the fate of being economically enslaved by others, there is no other way out.

However, people like Kwasniewski who are obsessed with the theory that Poland hangs the world, even Yanayev can't pull him back. The Soviet Union has done its best to retain Poland's friendship, and now it is about to jump into In the burning Poland, Yanayev can only choose to minimize the benefits obtained by Europe and the United States and preserve the interests of the Soviet Union itself.

In other words, what the Soviet Union cannot obtain, Europe and the United States cannot even imagine.Yanayev would rather destroy Poland in advance than see Europe and the United States survive economic difficulties by sacrificing small countries.

Only when the interests are consistent will we pay attention to feelings with you. When interests conflict, the comparison is all about comprehensive strength.

Therefore, Yanayev brought the former Minister of Finance Ryzhkov and Slynikov, chairman of the Central Social and Economic Policy Committee of the Soviet Communist Party, together to discuss policies and plans for Poland. Yanayev’s idea is that Poland was almost It is a certainty, and the Soviet Union just wants to prevent the four countries of Britain, the United States, Germany and France from obtaining the greatest benefits from Poland.

Slyunikov, who deals with numbers all day long, put forward a professional view, "If you want to minimize the benefits obtained by the four European and American countries, the Soviet Union must act first and seize the opportunity."

"For example?" Yanayev waved his hand, motioning for him to continue.

"For example, we can reduce the tariffs on goods exported to Ukraine and encourage domestic enterprises to conduct foreign trade. At the same time, we can provide export subsidies for enterprises that export goods to Poland. Anyway, the Soviet Union does not have to worry about being charged with dumping, because the World Trade Organization has nothing to do with us. Relationship."

Yanayev nodded, affirming Slyunikov's opinion. Although the Soviet Union was adorned with the hat of an open market economy, in fact the government still used strong hands to control the market economy.To be precise, the established economic policies of Ryzhkov and Yanayev are more like a mixture of Roosevelt's New Deal and Lenin's New Economic Policy.

"Seeing that Poland is profitable, our companies will export their goods to Poland one after another to earn foreign exchange. At this time, we must create momentum internationally. That is to create a picture that the Soviet Union wants to do its best The gesture of wooing Poland makes the WTO signatories a little nervous." Slyunikov pushed his glasses, and the reflection of the lenses just covered the gloomy eyes behind the two lenses.

"What will happen next? Because of our support, Poland is more confident in the Uruguay Round negotiations, and the nervous Western countries will naturally give Poland certain policy preferences, which is probably reflected in the issue of the trade protection period. The four WTO countries that want to reap wealth in a short period of time will certainly not extend the protection period, so what they allow Poland should be more stringent conditions."

"For example, let Poland set up trade barriers openly, such as reducing its own interests a little bit, so that Poland can make a steady profit first, and after the short protection period is over, that is the death of Poland. But this has no impact on the Soviet Union's commodity exports. Any obstacles, because we don't care about the bullshit regulations of the World Trade Organization, whoever the Soviet Union wants to trade with, the three countries of France, Britain and Germany may not be able to stop it."

Yanayev nodded slightly, and nodded slightly to Comrade Slyunikov's proposal, and then continued to ask, "The first half of the plan sounds good, so what about the second half? I wonder when they will all pour into the United States. In the Polish market, what should our company do?"

"Of course it is a complete withdrawal." Comrade Slyunikov replied without any scruples, "How can a Soviet Union be an opponent of four countries in a trade war, so we will leave after making a fortune, so as not to lose time The capital is also lost. After the United States entered the Polish market, the Soviet Union adopted a plan to avoid the edge, cut off the additional subsidies and lowered tariffs for Polish companies exporting goods, so as to prevent our industry from rushing into the Polish market and being slaughtered by others.”
