USSR 1991

Marshal Ogarkov is familiar with this method of killing people with a knife. He is the director of the Strategic Deception Bureau and is responsible for the strategic deception plan against the United States.

He is now waiting for President Mario to do it himself. Not only will the World Bank's loan to Romania be terminated, but the United States will even impose economic sanctions on Romania.So Romania is just a victim in the game between the United States and the Soviet Union. If you want to blame Constantinescu for being too greedy, you always think that you can have both sides, but in the end Yanayev turned against the army.

"Americans are not stupid. They want President Mario to be fooled by such a small trick? Do you really think that his suffering over the years is for nothing? Not only the performance in Moscow must be exciting enough, but also Yanayev's delegation A series of performances are being carried out with us. Yanayev still needs a series of small moves in Romania to make Mario's loyalty to Constantinescu questionable."

Marshal Ogarkov looked at the information fed back by the KGB, and he also had some doubts. Will Yanayev's seemingly incredible plan really succeed?But thinking that Yanayev had never failed once, he still swallowed some words.

Unconditional belief in Yanayev's strategy seems to have become a kind of political creed in the Kremlin.

Surkov stared at the information on the table and whispered, "So we can only watch the performance of General Secretary Yanayev."

It was almost early morning when I walked out of Sten Gurescu's villa.He stood on the deserted street and breathed a sigh of relief. The special car was already waiting for Primakov on the side of the road.Pick him up after completing the mission.

Primakov gave full play to the eloquence of the diplomats and successfully delayed the time for three hours. It is estimated that the Deputy Minister of Defense of Romania is now confused. , and talked nonsense for three hours?

He must be crazy.Watching Primakov's back from the window sill on the second floor, Stengurescu rubbed his eyes and didn't think much about it. He still needs to go back and get a good night's sleep. Explain to the Romanian President why Primakov visited his mansion late at night.

Primakov breathed a sigh of relief, Yanayev's last step has been completed, and the next step is to wait for President Mario's actions, but Yanayev will still have a series of "contracts" with Konstantin Signed by Nescu.And these are all to increase President Mario's conviction of Romania's betrayal.

Yanayev sat by the window, quietly waiting for the dawn. He couldn't wait to see how the United States planned to do it.Maybe Constantinescu is still thinking about the plot of becoming the overlord of Eastern Europe, but he will never think that he is just a poor pawn.

The night in Romania and the Kremlin remained calm.

But now the White House is about to blow up.

Chapter 671 I'm so angry

"Call me the Deputy Secretary of Defense right now. I don't care where he is now. He must arrive at the White House in half an hour. Also, Director Tenet, send me all the information. I want to An emergency meeting is going to be held after this meeting, what? Where is Berger Consultant? And Ms. Madeleine, you prepare, you may visit Europe in the near future."

The office of the Pentagon was almost in chaos. Everyone looked at President Mario, who looked a little annoyed, and didn't know how to speak for a while.Two hours ago, the CIA received news that the Soviet Union was about to deploy SS-N-21 cruise missiles in Romania, and then the news set the entire Pentagon on fire.

At first Mario thought it was just a prank. Who would have believed that Romania, who was flirting with the Americans just now, hooked up with the Soviet Union in the blink of an eye, and made the deployment of the Soviet army in Romania fearful in the INF Treaty? The SS-N-21 slingshot long-range cruise missile, needless to say, Yanayev is also a land-launched cruise missile improved from an air-launched or sea-launched version.

This time, Yanayev completely annoyed Mario.

"What is the Soviet Union trying to do? Create a Cuban missile crisis again? Or want to trigger World War III? And what kind of drug Yanayev poured on those idiots in Romania? Change your mind?" President Mario slammed his fist on the table to express his anger.

Madeleine, who was sitting aside, trembled, startled by Mario's anger.

The Minister of Defense walked into the meeting room in a dusty manner. Before he even took off his coat, he threw it on the table and said angrily, "The NATO radar station has just detected the last Su-17M4 fighter jet left by the Soviet Union in eastern Germany. The troops went to Romania, it seems that our intelligence is true, Yanayev's trip to Romania this time is really not that simple."

No wonder Yanayev still did not cancel his visit to Romania after the World Bank issued the loan to Romania. It turned out that the other party had already kept a hand, waiting for President Mario to regret it.

Berger put his hands on the table, trying to keep his composure.Soviet actions in Romania have threatened the balance of power in NATO forces.He stood up and said to the noisy senior executives, "Be quiet first, and listen to me, everyone."

The conference room fell silent, and all eyes were on the National Security Advisor, including President Mario.Berger coughed and said slowly, "Judging from the movement of the Soviet army, the possibility of Romania forming a missile military alliance with the Soviet Union has reached more than 90.00%. The problem now is that we have to exert various diplomatic and political pressures. , to force the Soviet Union and Romania to cancel this military alliance. When necessary, NATO troops can even be used to intervene by force, which is bound to kill this plan to affect Europe in its cradle."

Berger propped his hands on the table, and his lenses reflected a dazzling light under the light, making it hard to see the eyes behind the lenses.

"Everyone knows what it means once the Soviet Union successfully deploys a missile base in Romania, right? Not only is NATO's eastward expansion blocked, but it may threaten the strategic environment in Western Europe. For long-range missiles, they don't care about any buffer space at all. "

Madeleine snuffed out the cigarette butt, turned her head and said to President Mario, "My suggestion is to immediately cut off the World Bank's US dollar loans to Romania, and freeze all foreign funding projects between European countries and Romania. Call the Kremlin and figure out what the other side wants."

"If Constantinescu makes excessive demands." Madeleine made a gesture of wiping her neck, "then Romania will be resolved. Diplomatic pressure, political pressure, economic blockade, if necessary With a military blockade, I don't believe that the Romanian army can resist the winner NATO joint combat force?"

As a diplomatic woman, Madeleine will go to the Romanian embassy in the United States on behalf of the United States to lodge a strong protest, even threatening the Romanian ambassador to the United States. If Romania continues to cooperate with the Soviet Union, the United States will resort to military action.

"Romania is just playing the pawn of the Soviet Union, and more importantly, it is the mastermind behind this secret incident. Obviously, the Soviet Union's secrecy work was negligent, and we were able to capture such important information." President Mario stood up, Speaking to Secretary of Defense William Perry, "When it comes to military mobilization, I hope the American military is ready."

"What do you mean?" William Perry didn't quite know what Mario was trying to say.

"War, war with the Soviet Union. Secretary William Perry." President Mario said calmly, "We haven't experienced war for so long that when the enemy threatened us, they failed to stop the war in the first place." The army is mobilized."

President Mario suddenly grabbed the shoulder of the Minister of Defense, and he said word by word, "At this moment, where are our naval fleet and our air force fighter jets? If we don't put military pressure on Romania immediately, They'll think they've got a chance, you know, Secretary William Perry?"

"Yes, Your Excellency." William Perry was stunned by Mario's eyes. He straightened his tie and began to talk about his plan, "We will dispatch reconnaissance planes in the shortest possible time. Romanian airspace is patrolled. Romanian airspace will become a no-fly zone once the evidence is established. Once their air force takes off, NATO joint combat forces will shoot down."

"Then, through diplomatic pressure, Romania gave up the cooperation project of establishing a missile base alliance with the Soviet Union. Under heavy pressure, the firm leader will finally succumb."

William Perry whispered, "Of course, these assumptions were made without the intervention of the Soviet Union, so in addition to dealing with a Romania, NATO also had to mediate with the Kremlin to prevent it from turning into a Cuban missile crisis." .”

Having said that, William Perry set his sights on President Mario.At this time, only Mario can solve this problem.

Mario narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll take care of the Kremlin myself. You just need to do your own thing."

Chapter 672 Rage and Questioning

Constantinescu in his sleep was woken up by the rapid ringing of the phone. Obviously he didn't like to be woken up in the middle of the night, but when he picked up the phone, the content of the other party's report surprised Constantinescu. Sku lost sleepiness in an instant.

The voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little irritable, and the Minister of Defense said to Constantinescu, "The World Bank has frozen our loans, President Constantinescu. And NATO, led by the United States, is calling for restrictions on Romania's foreign trade. Chemical products, minerals entering the Western European market, trying to impose economic sanctions on us."

"The Romanian embassy in the United States called, claiming that the U.S. Secretary of State had met with him. The United States said that if Romania does not stop building missile bases with the Soviet Union, it will adopt a series of unconventional means to solve the problem. That is to say, the possibility of a war breaking out is very high. Also, the TV station is broadcasting the news now, President Constantinescu.”

Constantinescu hastily turned on the TV, and the White House press secretary on the screen was expressing the position of the US government to reporters.

“We absolutely cannot tolerate turning Romania into another Cuba. The United States will cooperate with NATO countries to resist the evil purpose of the Soviet Union to build missile bases in Romania, trying to threaten Western Europe. We call on the Romanian President to abandon this dangerous practice and return to the Come to the negotiating table to solve the problem. Otherwise, NATO will use force to solve the Romanian problem.”

The joy of Constantinescu has not faded from his face, but he has ushered in such a major blow. He said angrily, "Who can tell me what is going on? We just conducted a secret operation with the Soviet Union yesterday during the day. Negotiations, why do the Americans know about our actions now? And what is going on with the Soviet missile base deployed in Romania?"

No one can give Konstantinescu the right answer, at least no one in Romania's top management can give him the answer.The only person who can give him the answer is still staring at the night scene outside the window in the hotel in a daze.

Constantinescu had a hunch that this deal was not a free lunch, but an ulterior conspiracy against Romania.Obviously, the Soviet Union has dragged Romania into the water now. To figure out all this, Constantinescu must confront Yanayev face to face to find out the truth of the matter.

"Get the car ready immediately, I'm going to meet Yanayev in the hotel!"

A convoy suddenly appeared downstairs of the Bucharest International Hotel. Constantinescu, who was under the heavy protection of security personnel, got out of the car. He glanced at the brightly lit tall buildings and then entered the hotel.

The hotel's security facilities have been raised to the highest level, and even Constantinescu has to be checked routinely when entering the presidential suite. This makes the Romanian president feel very unhappy, but he can only suppress his angry thoughts and wait for the entourage All checked.

The entourage agents around Yanayev led Constantinescu into the presidential suite. Yanayev, who was still dressed rigorously, sat by the window sill. When he turned around and saw Constantinescu with an angry face, Smile and ask the other person to sit down.

"I know what you want to say, President Constantinescu. Do you need some gin?" Yanayev handed the glass to Constantinescu, but the other party pointed to his nose, His expression was even a little grim.

"Don't think I don't know what you're doing behind your back, Yanayev. What's going on in the United States? Before our deal was completed, there was news that the Soviet Union would secretly deploy long-range cruise missiles in Romania to threaten Europe. .”

If the opponent was not the general secretary of the Soviet Union, Constantinescu really wanted to punch him hard on the bridge of the nose.

"Our deal hasn't been completed yet?" Yanayev waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm wrong, your deal hasn't been completed yet, the Soviet Union has already completed the deal. Oh, don't forget, now the whole world Knowing Romania's ambitions, I think President Constantinescu is now listed as one of the most unpopular leaders of European countries."

Constantinescu sneered and said, "You are wrong, Yanayev, it is you who are sorry, what are we afraid of? Romania only needs to issue a statement to prove that this matter is pure rumor and has nothing to do with Romania, then your The plan fails. No matter what you are planning, General Secretary Yanayev, your move is really bad."

Yanayev took a step forward and stood in front of Konstantinescu. He still maintained a calm expression, even after the conspiracy was seen through, he stretched out a finger and asked, "Is it really bad chess? ?Do you think President Mario will believe what you say, or what I say, with his suspicious character? Romania claims that it does not have long-range missiles, does it seem like a low-level lie to Americans? Even if No matter how hard Romania tries to distance itself from the relationship, it is hopeless. In the eyes of the United States, you are an accomplice of the Soviet Union. Even if the economic sanctions and diplomatic pressure were later withdrawn, Romania’s original 20 billion low-interest loans were in vain. gone."

"How is it possible, the Americans have so far no direct evidence to prove that Romania and the Soviet Union...etc."

Konstantinescu's expression became gloomy, he seemed to have remembered something, and said to Yanayev, "I remembered, Su-17M4 fighter jets, Iskander missiles, so it turns out, they are not free Lunch, General Secretary Yanayev, I finally know why you have so generously perfected the Romanian army, and even generously carried out free maintenance and upgrades, is it to make the United States look like the so-called military alliance more like that. "

"Congratulations, you got the answer right." Yanayev raised his glass in front of Konstantinescu, and then drank the spirit inside. He put the glass on the table, and looked back at the The ashes of the Romanian president.
