Soviet Union 1991

Second update

The KGB presented Yanayev with an exclusive piece of intelligence. It turns out that the CIA has recently had close contacts with senior leaders of many Middle Eastern countries, especially military leaders. The information fed back by the KGB's chess pieces placed in the Middle East indicated that they were conducting some kind of negotiations, although those CIA agents entered the Middle East as oil resource business negotiators.

After careful investigation, the KGB Foreign Intelligence Service made new discoveries. The locations where they negotiated were all in socially unstable areas of various countries, and there were more or less government opponents in those areas. After such subtle information was captured by the KGB, it was immediately reported to the Kremlin and presented to Yanaya. husband's desktop.

"The Middle East, the factions and struggles within the government, the CIA, this is really a grand conspiracy. Although we don't know yet what the Americans are planning, if the conspiracy is executed smoothly, the political situation in the Middle East will become very delicate." Nayev does not have much information at hand, but once the Middle East falls into large-scale chaos, it will have a major impact on the stability of the Soviet Union's Central Asia region.

"It seems that it is necessary to personally contact the tycoons in the Middle East to know what the United States wants to do." Yanayev tapped his fingers on the table, closed his eyes and thought about this issue quietly.

The first thing Yanayev did after returning to Moscow was to contact Saddam and ask about the recent situation in Iraq. This was originally an internal matter of other countries, and Yanayev had no right to intervene, but it was related to the strategic issues of the Soviet Union. So he bit the bullet and asked. Saddam's answer was somewhat vague, which made Yanayev very dissatisfied.

"I am not interfering in Iraq's internal affairs. I just want to tell President Saddam that according to Soviet intelligence, the Americans are preparing a very huge conspiracy. An assassination plan code-named Dreamland. The CIA is preparing to unite a small number of powerful people in your army. Senior, will you feel relieved if I say this now?"

In 1995, the CIA did formulate an assassination plan for Operation Dreamland, but Saddam was informed of the plan. More than eighty Iraqi officers who participated in the operation were rounded up and eventually executed.

Yanayev's almost intimidating statement forced Saddam to straighten his stance and ask about this matter. He thought about it and then replied, "There have indeed been a lot of opposition voices in Iraq recently, and there is opposition to me within the army. Cutting budgets and lowering defense expenditures. Iraq has been having a hard time recently. It cannot sell oil and has to face such high military expenditures. I am more worried about the unrest and crises in society than the problems of the military. "

"Oh, it seems that Iraq is facing internal and external troubles now?" Yanayev asked knowingly, "Do you need a Soviet advisory group to protect your troops?"

In 1979, an Iraqi Air Force delegation visited the Soviet Union. They signed a large order with Moscow for 240 fighter jets and helicopters, including the MiG-25 Foxbat, the most advanced air superiority fighter at the time. After careful consideration, the Soviets agreed to this request, but attached a condition that 180,000 Soviet "advisors" must be deployed in Iraq along with the aircraft to help the Iraqis fly and maintain this huge fleet of Soviet-made aircraft. Since the total number of Iraqi Air Force at that time was only 240,000, this additional condition imposed by the Soviets was actually equivalent to turning the Iraqi Air Force into a detachment of the Soviet Air Force. And the Shoubiya Air Force Base in Iraq naturally became a military base for the Soviets.

"Without the protection of the Soviet Union, the United States will launch a larger-scale military attack." Saddam politely rejected the Soviet Union's rude request. After the Iran-Iraq war, the advisory team withdrew from Iraq. How could he allow the Asian Nayef took advantage of the opportunity to turn Iraq into a "joining country" of the Soviet Union.

However, Saddam obviously did not know at this time that he had already become a pawn in the deal. Sold out by the Soviet Union.

And Yanayev does not want Saddam to step down too soon. He also hopes that Iraq can bring down the US economy even more, and it is best to fall into a quagmire similar to the Vietnam War. "Of course we will continue to support the Iraqi government politically as always." , support President Saddam. As a friend of the Iraqi people, I give you a piece of advice, you have to prepare for the worst, because the Americans are ready to attack you."

Saddam took a deep breath and replied slowly. "Thank you Chairman Yanayev for your advice."

Yanayev put down the phone, saving Saddam's life no matter what. As for whether he will really be sent to the gallows or live unharmed for more than ten years, it all depends on Saddam's performance.

Sure enough, after this Middle Eastern tycoon put down the phone. An internal review operation within the army began. Based on Yanayev's prompts, he quickly caught the initiator among the objections. A total of thirty-seven senior military officers were arrested during the review operation. They confessed to conducting a secret deal with the CIA, plotting to assassinate Saddam Hussein, using roadside bombs to attack Saddam's vehicle, and then launching a massacre. A military coup.

All the conspirators were arrested and Saddam finally breathed a sigh of relief. His many years of rule have stained his hands with the blood of many people, and there are also more people secretly waiting for revenge. The arrested officers were executed. At such a critical moment, Saddam made another mistake, which was to amplify the internal purge.

In this way, those who were not determined to stand on the wall began to consider the olive branch extended by the Americans. This was Woolsey's most fruitful harvest. After the original Dream Plan failed, the CIA inside Baghdad With a new group of friends, President Mario can speed up the implementation of his plan.

"Saddam is like putting the noose of the gallows around his neck. Now Iraq is torn apart. Saddam cannot unite people's hearts, and social unrest has given rise to a group of democratic revolutionaries. With the addition of NATO, With the deployment of troops in the Middle East, we can completely open a gap in the middle of the Soviet Union’s Middle East defense belt.”

"If Iraq is in chaos, will Iran and Syria be spared? This movement against the dictator's rule will become a revolutionary wave, just like the French Revolution in the 18th century, completely turning the Middle East into a A powder keg. After the Middle East has become a battlefield for American agents, the anti-missile strategic encirclement of Eastern Europe is about to be completed. In this way, the Soviet Union’s ambition to expand its sphere of influence westward and southward is nipped in the bud.”

"I think the American people should thank us for this plan, because once a war breaks out, American arms will sell well. This is a huge financial revenue, and no military industry giant with huge profits will refuse such a temptation. War in the Middle East will also It can bring breakthrough progress to our oil strategic plan and drive down the price of Soviet oil until they collapse."

Woolsey was discussing a plan to overturn the world with William Perry in his office. This huge conspiracy was executed by the CIA, and the White House chief of staff and the national security adviser jointly proposed and refined the details. This conspiracy against the Soviet Union was dubbed the "Arab Spring" among the presidential elite's inner circle.

To overthrow all the anti-American and pro-Soviet regimes in the Arab world in the Middle East, and then establish a pro-Western democratic world by seizing power through supported agents. This huge conspiracy has been conceived by the United States for a long time. After the Dream Plan that was originally used as the trigger failed. , CIA Director Woolsey needed a new assassination operation.

"The Kurds in northern Iraq are ready. As long as there are differences in Baghdad, they will announce the start of the operation at any time." Perry stirred the sugar in the coffee, then raised his head and asked Director Woolsey, "But now those officers They were all executed, but Saddam is still sitting in his seat of power unharmed. What should we do? As long as there is no chaos in Baghdad, Saddam can easily suppress the Kurds."

"We have some chess pieces in our hands, and now we have to create an opportunity for them. If you don't mind the CIA misappropriating the Air Force's armed forces, I think there is a bold plan that can be implemented." Woolsey pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

Finally coming to the topic that interested Perry, he raised his head and asked, "What's the plan?"

"Using the cover of air strikes, let our chess pieces placed inside assassinate Saddam." (To be continued.)
