Soviet Union 1991

(First update)

The renewed rapprochement between the Soviet Union and China caused uneasiness in another socialist country, namely Vietnam, which had been following the footsteps of the Soviet Union in the general direction. As a member of the Soviet camp who was at odds with China, the head of the Vietnamese government, Do Muoi, who had always been at odds with China, became a little panicked after seeing the recent friendly relations between China and the Soviet Union. He decided to personally visit Moscow to seek help from Yanayev.

The Vietnamese are still very confident now, because for China, it is the ally that best meets the strategic needs of the Soviet Union. Today, when the European socialist camp is constantly being eroded, Vietnam is also one of the few remaining countries in Asia besides China and North Korea. . If even these small socialist countries no longer support the Soviet Union, then the Soviet Union will truly be finished.

But when the news of Dumei's visit was placed on Yanayev's desk, he threw it directly into the trash can without even looking at it, and whispered a nasty Vietnamese monkey.

Pavlov frowned a little. The general secretary's attitude was very obvious that he didn't like Vietnamese. But in terms of diplomacy, this attitude is not friendly enough. After all, the other party is still an ally of socialism. Pavlov said, "General Secretary Yanayev, it's one thing that you don't like Vietnam, but such an attitude will also chill other allies."

"Tell me, Comrade Pavlov. Which one do you think I should choose between maintaining friendly and cooperative relations with China and constantly spending money to fund a fool who can't support the wall?" Yanayev asked. He was tired of the lack of bottomless aid from his so-called allies.

"But after all, we are also a socialist ally. If we do this, will it chill their hearts?" Pavlov asked Yanayev.

"Chilling?" Yanayev said, "How can it not be chilling that we have raised a bunch of trash? If they don't develop their own economy, everyone will come to me for financial assistance and weapons assistance. In the end, they are just deserving of peaceful evolution. That’s all. Of course, I’m not just talking about the communist countries in Eastern Europe. I’m saying that all countries that have been peacefully evolved are rubbish.”

"The fact that I can meet with Du Mui is a great honor to the Vietnamese monkey. If he dares to ask for military assistance, I will ask him out of the Kremlin in a minute." The Soviet Union has strong military strength and comprehensive national power. Of course he dares to say this to Vietnam This sentence.

"Don't even think about threatening me by defecting to NATO. To me, it does not have the strength or qualifications to be respected by the Soviet Union." Yanayev said plausibly.

…………

When Dumei arrived at Moscow International Airport, he found that he was greeted by Soviet Prime Minister Pavlov. This unruly reception made him suddenly feel uneasy. Logically speaking, Yanayev should be in charge of the reception. Pavlov then explained to him that Yanayev had caught a cold today and was not in good health to go out, so he asked General Secretary Dume to forgive him.

"That's it, Prime Minister Pavlov. Please tell General Secretary Yanayev for me that I sincerely hope he can recover." Dumei asked his assistant to translate his words in Russian and convey his sincere wishes. Concerned regards.

"I'm afraid you have to tell General Secretary Yanayev yourself, because he is now waiting for your arrival in the Kremlin." Pavlov's expression was a little cunning, but he quickly covered it up passed.

Du Mei's eyes lit up and she said with a smile, "It would be best if I could meet General Secretary Yanayev in person."

Yanayev was indeed waiting for Doumei in the parliament hall, so when the other party came in, he stood up and walked towards Doumei immediately. The two top national leaders smiled and shook hands in a friendly manner in front of the camera, but if one did not observe carefully, there was a trace of well-hidden disdain in Yanayev's eyes.

At the beginning of the meeting, Du Mui first reiterated the historical friendship between the Soviet Union and Vietnam in clichés. From the beginning of the Vietnamese Anti-French War to the later Anti-American War, the Soviet Union gave Vietnam selfless help. Yanayev said nothing, just nodded with a smile and asked the other party to continue talking.

"Recently we have seen that your country has signed some arms sales agreements with China, but you also know that we have always had territorial disputes with some neighboring countries, especially the big powers. So we hope that the Soviet Union can provide another military aid." Du May said shamelessly, even Yanayev sitting opposite was secretly amazed at the shamelessness of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

"Oh, that's it. What will you do if we don't provide military assistance?" Yanayev asked with a smile. He likes to slowly test the opponent's bottom line and see how many bargaining cards he has in his hand.

Seeing that the other party was indifferent, Dumei said with a threatening tone, "If this is the case, then it is a pity, General Secretary Yanayev. We don't know how long we can follow the declining communist international movement. You know Yes, there are not many communist countries left. Does the Soviet Union want to lose its last ally?”

"Is this a threat?" Yanayev continued.

"No, this is just my advice."

Yanayev shook his head. It seemed that the other party only had this much strength. He looked at Dumei calmly, as if looking at a fool with disdain, "The Soviet Union no longer pays attention to ideology. Do you know? Communism It doesn’t matter whether it’s a country or a capitalist country, as long as both sides have common interests, we are allies, understand?”

Du Mei was speechless for a moment. This was Big Brother's personal denial that ideological struggle was no longer the top priority. Is the socialist camp really going to change?

"Just like our arms sales to China, because both sides have the same interests and needs, we can come together. Countries have never had pure friendship before, only interests. On this point, I hope that as a small country, I can understand a little bit more.”

This time Yanayev even completely denied the revolutionary friendship between the Soviet Union and Vietnam, like a noble who took off the mask of hypocrisy, revealing the evil temperament that the five hooligans should have.

"You don't have to rush to threaten me. To put it bluntly, now I can betray you for the benefit of China and the Soviet Union. Believe it or not? I still have a lot of destroyers and frigates in my arsenal. If I sell a few of them, I will Don’t believe that the Vietnamese navy can act unscrupulously in the Nansha Islands?”

"This..." Du Mui, who had stolen the chicken but lost the rice, was a little panicked now. If he really offended the Soviet Union and increased the intensity of the other party's arms sales to China, then Vietnam would completely lose the South China Sea issue. sovereignty.

"So now, Comrade Dumei, are you still qualified to bargain with me?" Yanayev crossed his legs and said casually, "Small countries must understand one thing, that is, know their own weight. Don't learn from North Africa. The leader of a certain country is talking nonsense , the actions of the Chechens were just, and that our Soviet Union was a dictator, but it offended all the people who should not have been offended. Don't tell me that his final lesson was very painful. Comrades also hope to follow in his footsteps?”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Hearing such a serious threat, Du Mei was already sweating. He originally thought he could blackmail the Soviet Union in exchange for benefits, but now he realized that he had no weight to bargain with Yanayev.

"By the way, I am very satisfied with this attitude." Yanayev said, "Since we are all customers, I can't make it difficult for you. There is no military aid, but there is arms sales. We are selling some T72 recently. Tank, if you are interested, we will sell it to you at the right price."

Du Mei was also excited after hearing this. The last batch of tanks purchased during the disarmament of the Soviet Far East were second-hand goods from the regular Russian army, and their quality was much better than the foreign trade version of the T72. If we can purchase a batch of original copies at a preferential price this time, it will greatly enhance the strength of the Vietnamese armored division.

"Is it the official version?" Du Mei rubbed her hands and asked excitedly.

Yanayev poured cold water on him without hesitation, "No, it's our foreign trade version. But the price can be favorable."

Seeing the disappointment on Dumei's face, Yanayev shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. If you don't think you need it, I won't force it. After all, there are still people waiting to buy my destroyers and frigates. , don’t you think? Of course, you can also buy arms from Western countries, and they will definitely be happy. But General Secretary Du Mei, I will definitely let you know what is the biggest geopolitical tragedy in the late twentieth century. ”

Yanayev's intimidation was as light as if he was talking about something insignificant. (To be continued.)
