USSR 1991

But Yanayev did not take decisive action.Instead, he unexpectedly waited quietly until Dobrynin could no longer sit still and came to Yanayev, wanting to ask why he didn't take this opportunity to act.

"It's not time yet, Comrade Dobrynin. Although I know you want to get involved now, I have to tell you that the end result will be nothing."

Yanayev was not nervous at all, he signaled his old friend to be quiet.

"But this is our best chance. If the Soviet Union proposes to intervene in the Mediterranean Union at this time, the French government cannot refuse. Because they will also face pressure from Germany, Britain and the United States at the same time."

"Haven't I thought about what you're thinking about? Comrade Dobrynin."

Yanayev paced back and forth in the office and said to Dobrynin who was sitting on the sofa, "In fact, the United States may already be bargaining with the French. If he thinks this is useful, de Gaulle will also Will not stand up to pressure for so many years of centrifugal policy."

Dobrynin clasped his knees with both hands, and said suspiciously, "You mean?"

"Yes, it's not just us, the Americans also definitely made the request earlier than us. France's refusal to agree led to joint pressure from Britain and Germany. After seeing through their move, the next move is Good judgment."

"If Chirac is unwilling to give up the plan, then the final outcome must be that the United States and the United Kingdom also intervene in his small coffers, and the Mediterranean Union has changed from a small private group in France to a piece of meat divided among the permanent members of the United Nations. Now Chirac can also insist that he will never let other people accuse him, but it will be difficult to say after a long time."

In fact, Yanayev also has a small calculation in his mind. Even if he is unable to prevent the erosion of Europe by the power of the White House, at least the Soviet Union will forcefully reap the benefits.

"Assuming that France finally succumbs to the conditions of the Americans, then the British must intervene next. Only when the Soviet Union proposes conditions before France agrees to the Mario government, can Chirac accept it."

Yanayev looked at the numbers on the date, and said with a chuckle, "Looking at the time now, it is estimated that France can still carry it for a while. When the French diplomatic spokesperson starts to soften his tone, he will not be able to carry it."

"They can't bear it anymore, the Soviet Union should stand up and be the last straw that overwhelms the glory of France."

Chapter 8 and Six

Chirac has faced pressure from the European Union since secret talks between the US and France were leaked.British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has just quit the European Union, is also thinking about the Mediterranean Union.Everyone knows that the so-called Mediterranean Alliance is just a small circle of French political interests, but European powers will not tolerate France turning the Mediterranean into its own back garden.Adhering to Britain's centuries-old shit-stick policy, even after withdrawing from the European Union, Blair still interferes in other people's internal affairs.

The British Foreign Secretary tried to negotiate with France to jointly build a circle of interests in the Mediterranean, but Chirac firmly refused.The British Prime Minister, who threw cold water on him, naturally would not give up the opportunity to suppress him. In addition to the lure, he also threatened the same.Contact US President Mario, hoping to work together to break into the small French circle.

The Mediterranean Union has become the target of fire, and this prestigious land and sea has become a battlefield for major forces to compete.

They have no interest in wooing the countries along the Mediterranean Sea and achieving common prosperity. They just need to use this opportunity to further open up the raw material market in Africa to facilitate the plundering of Europe and the United States and the dumping of goods.After all, there is a huge trade deficit there, how could the United States give up the opportunity?

On the way Chirac rushed to the Mediterranean Alliance plan, he was ambushed by the knives and axes sent by the five gangsters.

The cold light is harsh, and there are many crises.

Cole has no interest in Chirac's southward policy. He only hopes that there will be no more troubles when the EU is in crisis.Therefore, he strongly opposed Cole's plan to go south, and prevented Spain and other countries from reaching a consensus agreement.

However, Cole's obstruction did not succeed in stopping Chirac's ambition.

On the contrary, it was Yanayev's external adviser, Dobrynin, who first contacted Jospin.

As No. 1 who proposed the plan to carve up the Mediterranean Sea, and the president's foreign adviser, this kind of thing naturally needs him to handle it.So it was no surprise that Jospin was in Paris.

Paris is not only a romantic capital of fashion, but also a battlefield where the smoke of gunpowder is invisible in the eyes of political leaders of various countries.

However, choosing to appear at the Paris Conference at such a delicate time, anyone would feel that the Soviet Union had other plans.And the calm Jospin has already seen the conspiracy of this polite diplomat.After all, most of his life's work has been cleaning the ass of the Soviet Union.

A living fossil who lived from the Khrushchev era to Yanayev's administration, dealt with the Cuban Missile Crisis, covered up the scandal of Moscow's high-level officials in front of Nixon for Brezhnev, entered the Gorbachev era Central Secretariat.

This man, known as Kissinger of the Soviet Union, has an unfathomable conspiracy under his gentle appearance.

He appeared on a certain occasion definitely with a hidden purpose.

When France and the Soviet Union held separate talks, Dobrynin mentioned plans for the Union for the Mediterranean, and it was time to throw out Soviet "interest" and support for the Union for the Mediterranean.

"If I understand that EU countries want a share of the pie, I don't understand why Moscow is interested in the Mediterranean Union?"

French Prime Minister Jospin stared at Dobrynin in front of him, and asked with vigilance, "What's more, Moscow and the Mediterranean have no intersection at all, and your nearest fleet also stays in the Black Sea. So the Mediterranean is only the previous interests of Western and Southern European countries." In terms of scope, the Soviet Union has no chance to get involved in this aspect.”

Jospin made it clear from the very beginning that it is impossible for the Soviet Union to intervene, no matter what your reasons are.

"Besides, we have withstood the pressure from the United States, Britain and Germany, so Moscow has no chance. Even if the Barcelona process ends up running aground, we will not rush to let others join."

Dobrynin pushed up his glasses, flashing a politician's signature smile.He noticed that Jospin's left hand was faintly tapping the table.This action clearly told himself that the other party was a little nervous.

Whether it was anticipation or fear, Dobrynin was only fully clear after testing.

So he began to test the attitude of the other party.

"Oh, really?"

Dobrynin made a body leaning forward, slightly raised his head to look at Jospin's face, and said, "But can France resist the interests of turning the Mediterranean Sea into its own back garden? As far as I know , for this reason, some feuding countries are willing to let go of their hatred and sit at the negotiating table to discuss issues. In other words, their attitudes are changing. After all, there are only permanent interests in politics, and there are no permanent enemies. Presumably Ross Prime Minister Pan is also very aware of this truth."

"Germany is running its own European market, and has no interest in your little tricks. Britain and the United States, which want a share of the pie, want to intervene in the plan of the Union Bank of the Mediterranean. Do you think France can really prevent the five permanent members of the UK and the United States from joining forces? "

The embarrassment that appeared on Jospin's face was not unexpected. He leaned back slightly, tilted his head and said, "Listen to my advice, Prime Minister Jospin. Even if you can't stop the United States and the United Kingdom from joining in the end, It's also much better to have the Soviet Union in your club than to be alone with two great powers."

Jospin smiled wryly after listening to Dobrynin's answer, and asked tentatively, "French-Russian alliance?"

Dobrynin nodded, "To be precise, it should be the Franco-Soviet alliance."

"You already feel it too?"

Dobrynin looked mysterious, and deliberately lowered his voice, "The European Union may collapse at any time now. Once the European Union collapses, it will be the time for the rise of the Mediterranean Union. Of course, you can choose to do nothing and would rather watch your own European raw material market Incapable of being eroded bit by bit by the United States."

"you……"

Jospin frowned, Dobrynin's "curse" made him feel unhappy.But what the other party said was completely true. First, he did not have the capital to run the alliance independently.Second, the establishment of the alliance is to expand its influence in North Africa and regain profits.Thirdly, and most importantly, the United States is messing up the situation in the Mediterranean, trying to profit from it.

"We are not saying that you must be forced to form an alliance and then join the game. The Soviet Union is not the United States, and will not take advantage of it."

Dobrynin was very sincere, and he hoped that the other party could understand that the Soviet Union really had no intention of joining the Mediterranean.

Because the short-term profits obtained by the Soviet Union's intervention in the Mediterranean Sea are far less than those of the other three countries, but in the long run, the Soviet Union, which has already obtained the joint trusteeship of the Turkish Strait, can further point the red forces to the Mediterranean Sea.

Then dye it red.

Politics, war, or blood.

"We only hope that when President Chirac is unable to stop the attacks of Britain and France, we hope that the Soviet Union can become an ally of France and jointly deal with our enemies within the framework of the Mediterranean, that's all."

Dobrynin had finished speaking. He crossed his hands and looked at the silent counterpart, and said with a smile, "It's up to you, Prime Minister Jospin."

Of course, Jospin couldn't decide such a big issue by himself, he needed to go back and discuss with Chirac.But Dobrynin's proposal clearly convinced him.If France is unable to parry the United States to seize the raw material market in North Africa, and cannot seize the financial offensive advantage of Britain, then it is especially necessary to win over the Soviet Union politically.

"I'll go back and think about it, Mr. Dobrynin."

Jospin still gave a negative answer on the spot. His answer was very hesitant, because he wanted to know Chirac's attitude and how he would view this matter.

President Chirac, who was enjoying afternoon tea and warm sunshine on the window sill of the Elysee Palace, received a call from Jospin, who told himself that the Soviet Union made a proposal that was not attractive, but very safe.

"Bringing the Soviet Union on board when France can't stop the U.S. from invading?"

Chirac didn't answer after listening, but fell into deep thought.
