Soviet Union 1991
Text Chapter 204: Diverting Conflicts
(Second update)
The final result of the Los Angeles incident was that the Los Angeles chief announced his resignation under pressure from all sides. At the same time, Tom Bradley, the mayor of Los Angeles, who could not escape being a scapegoat, also announced his resignation. He said that it was his negligence that led to the disaster in Los Angeles. At the press conference, he also tried to take all the responsibility on himself. This was not because Bradley was so great, but because of the pressure from congressmen.
A riot and an explosion almost lowered the face and prestige of the US government to an unprecedented level. Of course, the United States is not a vegetarian, or it can be said that it was the CIA's silent operation that contributed to the credit. Soon, the media stood up to accuse some people of irrational behavior and regarded disorder as freedom. And those public intellectuals who applied for political asylum in the United States from the Soviet Union also began to brag about the good of the federal government. After entering the United States, they had nothing else to do but sing praises to America all day long, and they did not necessarily blacken the Soviet Union.
Moreover, even some officials of the US government could not stand the flattery of the public intellectuals. They spread rumors that anything that was beneficial to the US government was popular among the people, anything that was not beneficial to the US government was slanderous, and the US policy was correct, and we should support it unconditionally. Even US government officials complained privately. No wonder the Soviet government wanted to send these people to the Kazan Mental Hospital. If it were me, I would not be able to stand such idiotic flattery.
Of course, government officials did not know the reason why these public intellectuals who received bribes from the Soviet Union were playing the role of black Americans. They also did not know that the Soviet government supported these people with a salary of twice as high as that of the United States, and added an insurance. Whoever dared to leak the secret would be ruthlessly wiped out by the KGB agents lurking in the United States.
Although artificial forced intervention could not compare with the silent approach of the United States, it could have an immediate effect. Many people were disgusted by the public intellectuals who praised the public intellectuals and the US government. They suspected that the US government was manipulating and interfering with public opinion.
The success of the "Guanhai" comrades will always cause bad luck to some people, such as Robert Gates, the director of the CIA who took on the important task of the US secret propaganda department. He always felt that his career would be affected by this incident, although he was praised by President Bush for his excellent planning in the previous Beslan incident. But the newly appointed President Mario will not think about your old contributions. He only cares about your current achievements.
Unfortunately, Robert Gates's current achievements are zero. Moreover, he indirectly harmed his allies too much in the Beslan incident, resulting in the CIA basically not being able to find anyone to cooperate with him and launching a secret offensive against the Soviet Union again.
Just before Robert was called to the President's Office. He had already thought of a solution. Although it was not a good idea, it could allow the US President to temporarily regain his dignity. Since escaping, Vytautas and Anatoly have been having a harder and harder time, although they are both presidents of the three Baltic countries. They also established a government in exile overseas, but the lives of these two people were much more miserable than those of Estonian President Arnold who was thrown into a political prison. At least the latter was well served by the Soviet Union out of respect. The former two were shelved and hidden indefinitely after the CIA judged that they were temporarily of no use.
When will there be spring? Let's discuss this topic when the political turmoil in the Soviet Union intensifies.
After losing the financial support of the CIA, the members of the Lithuanian and Latvian government-in-exile committees had to find ways to raise funds on their own, and often lived a life of hunger. Compared with those regimes that were re-established in a ruling position by the Soviet Communist Party and received preferential treatment, they really wanted to return to their own country, even if they became a dog of the Soviet Union. Besides, they did not gain much political capital by shouting "Long live freedom" and "Long live independence" all day long.
Soon some people began to back down, and they announced that they would withdraw from the committee to seek independent development. Anyway, they have now obtained a US green card. They can do whatever they want, and they can do whatever they want, so why should they go against money? The independent committee, which has been struggling for a year, is now in a precarious situation.
However, the Los Angeles incident brought political opportunities to the two presidents. The director of the CIA personally approached them to communicate, wanting to re-support the Lithuanian and Latvian regimes and let them return to their Baltic homeland. The negotiations took place in the office building at No. 143 Drasvi Street, which was the office location rented by the CIA for them when they first came to the United States. Although the rent was prepaid for more than a year, the committee, which had been running at a loss, could hardly pay the rent.
Gates sat on the worn and somewhat worn sofa, feeling a little sad about the financial assistance from the CIA that these organizations had left. It was indeed a useless waste. Sitting opposite him was former President Vytautas, who was waiting with shining eyes for Gates to make conditions and then bite down.
"Your mission is simple. It is to use the political forces that supported you in the past. Plan riots and unrest in Latvia and Lithuania and bring the Baltic situation back into chaos. This shouldn't be a difficult task for you, right?" Gates looked around at the people around him and got straight to the point. "After all, you were an opposition party that started with slogans of democracy. You may be more familiar with causing riots."
After that, Gates took out a thin piece of paper from his bag, handed it to Vytautas, and waved it in front of him, answering him in a tempting tone, "This check is enough for your activities. Believe me, it is enough for you to successfully plan a riot, as long as your old forces have not been cleared out. Why don't you consider it?"
Vytautas shook his head and said, "This is not a question of whether to consider it or not, nor is it a question of whether money is needed, but the restoration of the independence of the Baltic nations is our belief and goal. Of course, it would be best to have your financial support."
Hearing Vytautas's slightly hypocritical answer, Gates smiled slightly, stuffed the check into Vytautas's hand, and reserved his private phone number Give him, "When you have a plan, you can call me. I'm always here."
Just as Gates was about to leave, Vytautas stood up and said to the CIA director, "There is one more thing I want to ask Director Gates. When can I meet the newly elected President Mario?"
"Oh?" Gates turned his head, pushed his glasses, and asked cautiously, "Do you have anything to say? I can tell the President for you. You know, he has been very busy recently."
Gates would certainly not let Vytautas contact Mario. Although it was a well-known secret that the presidents of the two Baltic countries were hiding in the United States, once they were publicly contacted, it would confirm the US's support for the independence of the member states. The United States would certainly not do such a stupid thing.
The only thing we can do now is to try to perfunctorily deal with the other party. Vytautas shook his head and said, "If you have any questions, please give me feedback now. I will tell the president when I return."
"No, I want to see the president of the United States." Vytautas was a little anxious, and his tone was several decibels higher. "I just want to know when your CIA will support the three Baltic countries to completely secede? Since we set foot on American soil, you have been delaying and perfunctory us. Now a year has passed and we still haven't received a definite statement."
Gates sighed and wondered why he was so persistent. He decided to tell Vytautas the truth, "President Vytautas, do you have armed forces now? Do you have a popular base that can respond to your call? If you don't have any, why should we allocate funds to you? And even if you have armed forces, can some of them beat the current Soviet army?"
Vytautas's face gradually turned pale, but Gates's ridicule did not stop. He continued, "Since you don't have any, why should I allocate funds to you. Remember, American money is not so easy to get. We will never support useless people unless your actions are in line with the interests of the United States. The purpose of our support for you is the national interest, not the so-called bullshit slogan of freedom. Do you understand what I mean?"
Gates asked seriously. (To be continued)
