USSR 1991

Only Stoyanov was able to maintain his composure a little bit.

"So, are you feeling the pressure?"

"The iron curtain will return to Europe, sweeping across the prairie fire."

Chapter 855 The Iron Curtain Offensive

The plan defined by President Mario as the Iron Curtain Offensive is actually a replica of Yanayev’s eastward expansion of Europe in recent years, including opening up the channel of the Turkish Strait, striving to deploy air force and Red Navy forces in Syria, and wooing Cyprus, Greece and Turkey Against each other, the Black Sea Fleet can fish in troubled waters.Create a Turkish regime that Moscow can control in Bulgaria and Romania, and encourage the local people at the bottom to oppose the current democratic regime, and use "opposition to oligarchs, social democracy" as a provocative slogan to encourage the people to stand up and start a revolution.Finally, with the two regimes turning red again, the entire strategic encirclement is completed.

As for the Finnish government, which had been ambiguous with the Soviet Union before, it is reasonable that Ahtisaari did not appear at the meeting.He doesn't need to get involved in this muddy water.

President Mario's eyes swept over everyone present, with indifference and gloom.

Blind and stupid multitudes.

Relying on street politics and motivating the people to come to power, they also think about how to exploit the people to fill their own pockets. They don't have the slightest strategic vision. Eastern Europe can produce a guy with a long-term strategic vision, and it won't be suppressed by the Soviet Union until now. .

Fortunately, no such person appeared, otherwise it would not be the turn of President Mario to give orders.

He took out the document that he had prepared long ago, which was the answer obtained by the White House's International Situation Department and Mario's think tank after a long period of analysis and demonstration.The intricate and confusing strategic moves of the Kremlin were unfolded in front of them, clearly at a glance.

This is Mario's first peep into Yanayev's entire strategic plan, and although it's belated, it's better than it's too late.

He took a deep breath, met everyone's gaze, and began to analyze Kyanayev's attempt.

"We have reason to believe that Yanayev should have started secretly deploying this plan four years ago, or even earlier. First of all, he used public opinion to incite the emotions of the people. The dissatisfaction of the government, coupled with the widening gap between the rich and the poor and the inevitable factors of market reforms, this set of theories still has a market in Eastern European society. The next thing is about Turkey’s strategic encirclement policy, after all, the socialist one The set of value theories has no market in secularized religious countries, so Moscow’s policy is to incite the domestic PKK and Syrian government forces, as well as the situation in Cyprus, to achieve their own goals. Make it muddy, so that you can profit from it."

As soon as the voice fell, there was noise in the quiet conference room, and everyone looked dignified.

As the president who came to power after the military coup, Sezer understands this truth best.The short-lived transitional junta tried to take on the Kremlin on Syria, only to be ousted.

It seems self-evident how clever Yanayev is.

"At the beginning, I tried to unite the governments of various countries to create an anti-missile system encirclement in Eastern Europe to prevent the expansion of Yanayev's ambitions, but everyone retreated due to the strength of the Soviet Union, which led to the current situation. It is a pity, if we can go one step earlier The deployment will be completed, and it will not be hasty to form a joint meeting now. Of course, I am not targeting anyone specifically, I mean that everyone here is not Yanayev's opponent."

No one is an opponent of the Soviet Union. When the Red Army trembled in Europe, several countries in Eastern Europe were nothing.

The German Third Reich once challenged the authority of the Soviet Union. In 1945, the entire army was wiped out and the prime minister committed suicide.

President Mario deliberately exaggerated the threat of the Soviet Union to stimulate the "anti-Soviet" plot in the hearts of the leaders of the countries present.The more you promote the horror of the Soviet Union, the more you can arouse the other party's heart.

"What should we do?"

Stoyanov frowned and asked, "It's not like holding a leaders' meeting in the White House just to stop the other party's strategic expansion, right? The Soviet army really wants to move, and none of us can stop it."

Sezer said, "And in terms of military strength, even if the three countries join forces, they are not an opponent of the Soviet Army. In terms of strength, there is a huge gap between us."

"The riots in Romania have nothing to do with the Kremlin. I hope NATO can help Romania maintain a stable situation in the country."

Constantinescu is the most feared of all the people present. His regime is in a precarious state. The riots were terminated in the past few days, and the voice of domestic resistance has been slightly suppressed.But if no way out is found, the next wave of prairie fires sweeping across the country will completely destroy Romania.

The slogan of breaking the gap between rich and poor is frightening when one thinks of the mobilized masses.

The democrats can come to power by inciting the people, but they cannot prevent others from using the same means to expel them.Because the oligarchs are too ugly to eat, they will be liquidated one day.Their interests are tied to the capitalists with vested interests, and they are really liquidated. Hanging on a street lamp is their end.

President Mario is unwilling to send troops to Eastern Europe, which was originally the tacit sphere of influence under the giant claws of the polar bear, and rash provocations will only provoke more crazy counterattacks.

There is no need for Mario to confront Yanayev head-on.What's more, he didn't have much hope for the turbulent Eastern European countries, he only hoped to stop it for a while.If NATO's garrison is used to slow down Yanayev's offensive, this risk is still willing to be taken, not to mention that even if it fails, the United States can quickly withdraw and leave, leaving Germany's Central European Alliance to resist the Red Eastern Europe.

Krenz wanted to calculate the United States, but was calculated by the United States in turn.

The atmosphere was almost brewing, and the United States threw out its own arms sales plan.Even in the case of helping allies, don't forget to create opportunities for domestic military industries to increase orders.

"The United States will provide free armaments to everyone here, including brand-new upgrades to build the three armed forces, plan the invasion of the Soviet Union, and improve and support the joint combat plan of the arms."

President Mario originally used the opportunity of the alliance to sell large-scale armaments to Eastern Europe, trying to turn them into mechanists armed to the teeth.

But everyone knows that there has never been a good end for mechanists.

"We will consider sending NATO troops only after Eastern Europe has the military strength to fully resist. Otherwise, NATO troops will carefully consider the number of troops deployed in Eastern Europe."

Mario's attitude made it clear that if they did not buy their equipment, Eastern European countries would not expect the United States to back them up.Everything comes at a price, and the United States does not do its work in vain.And there is another point, that is to seize the opportunity, the result of Yanayev's sale of the torrent of steel is that the weapons used in more than 80.00% of regional conflicts in the world are Soviet-style.Yanayev, who made a lot of money, naturally aroused the jealousy of Americans.

"Destroyers, fighter jets, tanks, armored vehicles, we can all sell brand-new weapons or inventory at a high price, and we will give the biggest discount in terms of price."

The F4 fighter jets retired last year still have the opportunity to be sold on a large scale, and they are packaged with air-to-air missiles to Eastern European countries. The large inventory of M60A3 should also try their luck in Eastern Europe, as well as the frantic production during the Gulf War. Bullets can also be shipped to Eastern Europe as surplus supplies.It is impossible for Eastern European countries to spend a lot of money to buy these arms, but no one will be tempted by the things sold at low prices.

The other party's greed for petty gain happened to give President Mario a chance.

Stoyanov showed no desire, but the greedy desire in Konstantinescu's eyes did not escape Mario's eyes.

He now urgently needs to divert domestic conflicts and attention.The big sale of American Machinery is undoubtedly a booster.

Whether it is internal suppression or external deterrence, this arms deal is very cost-effective.

As for the strength of the Romanian army?It is enough to maintain the level of self-preservation.

Mario took advantage of Eastern European countries' fear of the Soviet Union to enrich himself, because there are always fools who will be fooled.

"With the assistance of the United States, we can even create an Eastern European coalition force and form a steel wall to prevent the Soviet Union from advancing."

Mario made a wonderful empty promise, trying to tie all the Eastern European countries together, like grasshoppers falling on a thread, into an unfortunate community.

"So now you guys are interested in the Eastern European Union?"

Chapter 856 It's After Autumn

"I agree with President Mario's plan to strengthen the Romanian army."

Constantinescu urgently needs to divert conflicts and attention. He wants to create an opportunity for Romania to invade by evil forces.Although it is very likely to endanger national security, it is only a matter of time before one's own regime is overthrown.

"The Turkish army is confined to Cyprus. So far we don't want to increase the burden. So we will only choose to stay still, and will not actively stimulate our neighbors in the Caucasus. We are not yet ready for a two-front war."

Sezer knew very well what would happen if he rashly provoked and annoyed Yanayev.Before, Greece and Cyprus almost dragged down their own troops, and coupled with the strong flat push of the 58th Army, they didn't know how to write the dead word.Those hawks who clamored to give color to the Soviet Union died down after seeing the fate of the Georgian army.I finally understand why I don't want to directly provoke the other party.

If it is true, I am afraid that even Ankara will not be able to keep it.

Sezer is not an idiot. He listened to the words of the United States and took the initiative to provoke the Soviet Union. In the end, there would be no bones left.He raised his head just to see the expression of the Bulgarian president looking at him, with a meaningful smile, and instantly understood something.

The Eastern European Union can participate, but not in accordance with Mario's plan.The other party just wanted them to be cannon fodder, and to become the last bargaining chip to stop them when they stopped the Soviet Union from advancing.

With the exception of Constantinescu, the rhetoric of dealing with the Americans was well understood.

Just as Mario was frowning and thinking about how to proceed, Sezer said sincerely, "But we are willing to join forces with NATO forces to stabilize the situation in Asia Minor. We will conduct a joint attack on the Kurdish Workers' Party armed forces that are intensifying in the east."

Seizer cleverly avoided the threat of the Soviet Union and focused his attention on the civil unrest in Kur's Workers' Party.

"Bulgaria also hopes that the US Army can send instructors to guide our army building, and is willing to purchase a batch of tanks and armored vehicles."
