USSR 1991

"Why? The Soviet Union made the Secretary-General of the United Nations step down with a single sentence? No matter how dictatorial and evil Yanayev is, he cannot eliminate all political dissidents."

Raggergren comforted Annan, "Don't worry, my dear, you will be fine. There is still behind us..."

"Shut up, idiot!" Annan finally burst into an angry roar. He angrily accused his wife of making ridiculous mistakes, which would become the laughing stock of everyone.

"Haven't you ever thought about why the entire Western countries didn't make any comments on the issue of the Soviet coup? Haven't you ever thought about why reporters raised this question with ulterior motives? Don't you think that what you saw A group of people are as stupid as you, use your rusty brain to think carefully, why you are at the forefront of the storm, it is because someone behind the scenes is using the United Nations as a gun! You are the bullet that stirs up conflicts and disputes!"

Raggergren was stunned. She didn't expect that a sentence she said casually would cause such a dispute.

"Now Yanayev is worried that he can't find an excuse to divert domestic attention. Now that Ms. Raggergren has successfully attracted the hatred and firepower of the Soviet Union, they will attack the United Nations next. If the funds are used If you cut it off, the first bad luck will be your refugee relief center. You will not get a penny of funding, but you can also mobilize rich families you know to donate to those poor refugees, but don't forget, pinch To break this connection, the Soviet Foreign Ministry only needs to apply a little bit of political pressure.”

Raggergren was completely stunned. She would never have thought that there was such a tricky layer in it.After realizing that she had made an unforgivable mistake, the panic-stricken wife of the UN secretary began to cry to her husband, "I didn't know that things would get to this point, for God's sake, you have to help me ah."

Raggergren's crying made Annan's heart soften. He originally just wanted to reprimand his wife.As long as the Secretary-General of the United Nations lowers his posture and apologizes to Yanayev in private, the other party may not be willing to agree to such a reconciliation.

"Wait, I will apologize to the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and ask for their forgiveness. Also for God's sake, I hope you can control your mouth a little bit and stop messing with me before the dust settles .I'll take it as the only charity you do for your husband."

After hanging up the phone, Annan opened the phone book and looked for Yanayev's personal number.He could not make an official apology for this matter, otherwise, it would be confirmed that the United Nations was involved in the storm of interfering in the internal affairs of the Soviet Union, and the final result might become a victim of the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union.

He apologized to Yanayev in his own name, so he cleverly avoided the United Nations, and also limited the matter to Mrs. Raggergren's inappropriate remarks, rather than involving a government the position of international institutions.

The phone beeped, and Annan held the receiver anxiously, staring at the clock on the wall.He calculated the time very accurately. At this time, Moscow had just entered seven o'clock in the morning, and it was time to have breakfast. He made a call at this time, and the rhythm was just right.

The other person picked up the phone and greeted him with a warm tone. He was relieved by the pure English pronunciation, and there was no need to add a Russian translator, "Hello, Secretary-General Annan, I have been looking forward to your call. On this call, you haven't messaged me since we met at the UN General Assembly last year and went fishing on the Volga River. I thought you forgot my number, now it seems, thank God , you didn't."

Annan held the microphone and said in a low voice, "That's right, General Secretary Yanayev, I'm here to apologize for my wife, Mrs. Raggergren's inappropriate remarks on the internal affairs of the Soviet Union. I hope General Secretary Yanayev can accept my sincere apology and forget about this unpleasant experience. After all, we are still friends in private."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The hearty laughter on the phone made Annan mistakenly think that he had seen hope. He grabbed the receiver tightly, hoping to hear Yanayev's clear expression and reply, but the next passage was completely opposite to what he expected .

"I'm sorry, Secretary-General Annan, no, it's my friend. As your sincere friend, I don't accept your apology. If you call today to apologize, our foreign minister should answer it."

Chapter 986 Let the people live with dignity

Secretary-General Annan's heart was half cold, and Yanayev's sudden change of attitude made him at a loss.One second, he was a good friend of Feng Xiaoyu, and the next second he became a politician who turned his face and refused to recognize anyone.

"Apology? Why should I accept the apology from the Secretary-General of the United Nations? Just because the author of this ridiculous statement is his wife, so I have to accept your apology? In this way, it is not raising the criticism of public figures to the political level Height, it’s not a small blow to your reputation. Just imagine, if a wife of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, who can’t even control her own wife’s mouth, asks her husband to take up this important position, will everyone have doubts?”

"This……"

Annan was so refuted that he had nothing to say, and Yanayev accused the other party every word, telling him not to intervene casually on this issue.

"If the trouble really got to the point where it was hard to deal with it, are you going to apologize to Comrade Shevardnadze, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union as the Secretary-General of the United Nations, or are you going to submit your resignation letter? Or do you want your wife to apologize in person? "

He looked at the scenery outside the window with indifferent eyes. Comrade General Secretary, who has half-retired to the second line, now stays in a villa outside Moscow for a long time. Compared with the previous sleepless nights, now he finally has a moment of tranquility.

Of course, his mind still hasn't stopped. When dealing with certain international issues, Vladimir's experience will never be as rich as his own. He knows when to be tough and when to take a compromise attitude.How can we obtain the greatest political benefit.

For example, Annan, who was trying to resolve the conflict in private, hoped to save the face of the United Nations and his wife. In this case, the Soviet Union would have to bear the result of this provocation.He can accept humiliation to himself, but he is determined not to compromise on the face of the entire country.

Yanayev's question was not open to refusal, "If you want your wife to apologize, then please let her show due sincerity. I may not accept private apologies from public figures."

Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Yanayev continued to add, "Secretary-General Annan, I don't want this matter to end with the Secretary-General of the United Nations submitting his resignation as I said before."

Yanayev hung up the phone immediately without giving Annan any chance to explain.

The busy tone was still echoing in his ears, Annan held up the microphone at a loss, finally put down the microphone and sighed.

Indeed, Yanayev's tough attitude is destined to be unlucky only for the United Nations. He does not want to make this matter so big that the Soviet Union will take the opportunity to attack and cut off the financial support of the permanent members of the United Nations. At that time, Western countries will only hide in the While watching jokes.

Really because they would sympathize with Raggren's appeal and speech for justice and truth?Those bastards would just sit back and gloat secretly.And the most stupid thing is that his wife is being used as a gunman without realizing it.

On the other side, after Yanayev put down Annan's phone, he just filled the goblet with vodka.Then he poured a whole cup into his mouth, pursed his lips, and took a deep breath.

In fact, Raggergren's accusation of the Soviet coup d'état seems to be light-hearted, and it is not worth mentioning at all. The reason why he wants to take advantage of this is to use this incident to block the mouths of certain Western media, at least to let them Know that the Soviet Union does not allow others to say a word on certain issues.

Yanayev's unambiguous attitude is enough to make other media speechless. This is indeed the strongest reply from the Soviet General Secretary. Whoever dares to talk nonsense will wait to apologize to Foreign Minister Shevardnadze.

"Shall I apologize to that butcher, executioner, tyrant? No, I will never apologize."

When he first heard the news, Raggergren almost ranted and yelled at his husband, who is the head of the UNHCR department, and would never apologize to a guy who is against human rights.

"Listen to me, be quiet."

Annan almost roared, "I know this is hard for you to accept, but you have to understand that General Secretary Yanayev will never compromise on this issue. You are a public figure, don't you know Which issues should be opened and which issues should be kept silent? Human rights issues? That is just an excuse for a group of politicians to fool you, the leftists. Who will benefit in the end? The number of refugees will not decrease because our allies are behind it. I say this now, do you understand?"

Raggle Glenn paled.

"Who do you think is the political force behind those dictatorships in Africa and the warlords who control oil and diamond mines? It's the top leaders of the United States, those financial giants, and those in Western Europe who seem to care about human rights on the surface, but aim at the butcher's knife in their deviation. Innocent Children's Multinational Executives, Ms. Raggergren, this is the truth you want to see. When you take a check for aid from the oil companies, remember that it's backed by the blood of African refugees, and Some dirty secrets."

"That's the truth you want to see."

"Democracy? Dictatorship? Freedom? Those are just slogans used by politicians to deceive the people. You say that the Soviet Union is an evil empire, a country made up of barbed wire, machine guns and tank fire. But you should also see clearly, you The evil tyrant in his mouth fed the vast majority of people in this country. He gave those poor children the opportunity to receive free education and free medical care. Everyone has a job and a salary, but what about the western countries? Those who beg at the bottom, those who live on the streets, have you seen it?"

"As for those corrupt and incompetent governments in Africa under the banner of democracy, the UN relief money they embezzled is far more exaggerated than you can imagine. Do you know what the money turned into? They turned into bullets, shells and even drugs. .Even if the UN food is distributed to the refugees, it will be taken away by the army soon and used as military supplies. This is their tragic fate.”

Raggergren opened his mouth, and finally just sighed, giving up the desire to continue to refute.

"You should apologize, Ms. Ragglegren. This is not advice as a husband, but as a man of conscience."

Annan said slowly, "Yanayev, he changed the world."

Chapter 987 Thank you for your choice

The vigorous Raggergren incident finally ended with Annan's wife publishing an apology in the newspaper. No one expected that the head of the UNHCR, who thought he would take a tough attitude, would easily subdue, almost humbly, begging for forgiveness from Moscow.And Yanayev did generously forgive them.Anyway, the previous goal has been achieved.

Just like in Europe under the shadow of red forces, truth only exists within the range and caliber. Stalin simply thought that only a torrent of steel was needed to create red flags all over the world, but Yanayev exchanged eight years of forbearance for Here comes a giant Soviet bear re-emerged from its den.

"When the Soviets return to Europe, all traitors will die."

During the Baltic Sea negotiations, he once said this to the "rebels" who colluded with the West, even though they had armed forces in their hands, they wanted to extinguish Russia and the last flame of Moscow's red regime on the Red Square. On that day, Yanayev held a ceremony exactly the same as the last military parade on Red Square before the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War in 1941.It symbolizes that the socialist labor movement has entered the most difficult moment-the sword of fascism and the artillery fire of capitalists will kill them in the cradle of newborns.

And in 1991, when the same challenge from the Western world tried to bring down the crumbling Soviet regime, he watched one republic after another betray the great, unbreakable Red Union.Watching communists being smeared in Eastern Europe, knocked down by so-called democrats, stomped on the ground trying to make them never stand up again.The motherland once again came to the most critical moment.

A man came out and they just knew it was just a normal vice president, even when people remember the name of the idiot Gorbachev and the bad policies he brought, they don't remember that he had any before great feat.

According to the original historical trend, the final result was that they disintegrated a great country effortlessly, and the last man in the empire just splashed a few times in vain before being wiped out in the long river of history.But this time everyone was obviously wrong.

Yanayev saved this crumbling country, arrested all the traitors who tried to package the country cheaply, and even disregarded the risk of triggering a civil war, amending the provisions of the constitution to prohibit the joining countries from separating from their hands.

Martial law, repression, and even war, everyone thought that Yanayev would only end in betrayal if he continued to do so. After all, even the Taman Division betrayed them at the time, but the final outcome was unexpectedly exaggerated.

He won the bet.

In return, the unity of the country that was riddled with holes was preserved, and it was not destroyed in the turmoil and civil war.

It took him nearly eight years to get the country back on its feet and let everyone live with dignity, no longer a flashy lie.
