Soviet Union 1991
Text Chapter 37 The Tragedy of a Small Country
The news that the Soviet Union was about to undergo large-scale disarmament soon triggered a new round of turmoil in the international community, especially among the NATO countries led by the United States. The word shock is definitely the most accurate way to describe the expressions of the leaders of various countries at this time. .
"Damn, these Soviets tricked us, they tricked us once." This was the first time Brent saw Bush so angry. He threw the documents on the table to the ground, which was not enough to calm him down. He was so angry that he hammered the table with both hands, filled with righteous indignation, "If we had forced the Soviet Union on the Baltic Sea issue, they would have definitely surrendered. Oh my god, why are so many intelligence analysts in the Pentagon unable to think of Asia? Nayef is lying to you!”
Brent muttered in his heart that I insisted on continuing to coerce the Soviet Union, but you and your European allies chose to withdraw in the end, so do you blame me? And haven’t we been played by the Soviets enough times? When we signed the agreement to limit strategic ballistic weapons with Brezhnev, didn’t the Americans think it was a victory for reason? Didn't the Soviet Union's unprecedented-scale West-81 military exercise in 1981 make the West conclude that the Warsaw Pact's tank sea was capable of wiping out NATO's garrisons in Central Europe and reaching the city walls of Paris within a week? Haven’t our top leaders learned from these events?
Of course, Brent couldn't say these things openly, so he could only comfort Bush, "But President, at least we have learned one very important thing from the Soviet Union's disarmament, that is, they can no longer use weak weapons. The economy has to maintain the huge armored force military expenditure. So from now on, we should adjust our strategic purpose to completely defeat the Soviet economy. In this case, even if they have huge war weapons, they will go bankrupt because they have no money to maintain them. "
"That's what it says, but how to defeat the Soviet economy? It's obvious that the Soviet Union has begun to find ways to counterattack our ideological propaganda offensive, and the Pentagon's intelligence analysis indicates that since the Soviet Union adopted Ryzhkov's economic policies, hundreds of Seventy-four percent would probably bring the Soviet Union out of its economic predicament.”
"Isn't there still a 26% chance of failure? As long as we add fuel to the fire of the Soviet Union's troubled economy, even if the reforms are effective, they will not be able to withstand the collapse of reality." Brent said.
Bush nodded, he wanted to make the Soviet Union's economy worse. Bush picked up a document and threw it to Brent and said, "So don't we have a guy named Leo Vantaa? According to the information in my hand, in the 1980s, this guy named Vantaa CIA operatives were directly ordered by President Reagan to engage in a secret financial war to subvert the Soviet ruble. The covert operation he designed was also codenamed the "Great Ruble Scam" and had been planned for several years. It was time to let. This guy shines."
Brent was also one of the insiders of the Vantaa plan. The original plan submitted to Brent by Vantaa stated that he would complete a transaction at a price twice that of the black market with the help of co-conspirators within the Soviet Union. A highly profitable transaction of 140 billion rubles for $5 billion. Then in this year's London gold trading market, gold was shorted by as much as 2,000 tons. As a result, the already weak Soviet economy relied entirely on gold exports to survive. The plummeting price of gold drove the final nail in the coffin lid of the Soviet Union, causing the Soviet Union to collapse completely. Then Vantaa implemented a follow-up plan to acquire a large number of assets from the Soviet Union, achieving the purpose of hollowing out the red polar bear.
This operation has been waiting for Bush's approval, and because of the inexplicable changes in the situation in the Soviet Union a year ago, the Vantaa operation was delayed several months later than in history. Of course the Americans, who thought they were perfect, did not know about this situation. The change included the secret method of the time traveler, but he was regarded as a force majeure factor and continued to prepare for action according to the original plan.
"Is the president ready to use the chess piece of Vantaa?" Brent asked. He was a little worried now. If Brent would have supported Leo Vantaa without hesitation half a year ago, but this time he always felt that Things won't be that simple.
But President Bush has lost his mind in anger. He urgently needs to win a round in the political game to regain face. Otherwise, the United States will not be able to hold its head high among NATO allies. Therefore, no matter what form it is, he must give the Soviets A profound lesson.
"That's for sure. Just ask Wanta to come to my office. I want to talk to him personally about the specific implementation steps of this plan." The president who calmed down has been completely ignited with the seeds of hatred. He wants to Let Yanayev see America's counterattacks and sanctions.
Some people are worried, and others are happy. The military threat to the southern neighbor in the north has been eliminated. Finally, you can take a deep breath. You no longer have to worry about it all day long. The violent machine in the north that suddenly cannot turn around is pushing forward with a torrent of steel. You know The three eastern provinces are completely plain areas with no strategic depth. Once the enemy launches a large-scale attack, they will be absolutely unable to stop the progress of those tank tracks.
After the disarmament in the Far East, Yanayev immediately issued a statement, saying that the disputed areas on the northern border were willing to shelve disputes with neighboring countries and jointly develop them. This was a signal of goodwill from the Soviet Union. Since being sanctioned by NATO military and economic sanctions, the economy of the southern neighbors has also been facing great troubles. Seeking new development opportunities is also on their agenda. The Soviet Union's goodwill has given them a glimmer of new hope.
Years of struggle in a complex international environment have also cultivated a cautious character among the southern neighbors. They only said a few symbolic words about the Soviet Union's goodwill, and did not make any further statements. But Yanayev was already satisfied with his performance. The ice-breaking journey cannot be completed overnight, but this beginning seems not bad.
The Soviet Union's goodwill scared a group of small countries in Southeast Asia, especially those neighboring countries that have always had conflicts with the East Asian powers. They all used the Soviet Union's generosity to deal with their vast neighbors. For example, the General Secretary of Vietnam carefully stated that they are strategic partners of the Soviet Union, reaffirming the friendly relations between the Soviet Union and Vietnam. But Yanayev just sneered, who has friendly relations with you Vietnamese monkeys? Vietnam was just a pawn to curb the rise of big countries. Now that the two countries are ready to join forces in the Asia-Pacific region, there is no place for you small countries.
The political influence exerted by the two socialist powers in the Asia-Pacific region is not what NATO and the United States can predict, and the alliance of the Asia-Pacific superpowers will also bring terrible political pressure to those small countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia. To borrow a line from a song, the picture is too beautiful to look at.
So the foreign policy office directors and senior officials of various small countries have been busy these days. They gathered together to discuss the impact of the fusion of the situation in East Asia, but the results were all disappointing without exception. If the two socialist powers move towards an alliance, then the small countries with friction in interests around them must give up their interests and protect themselves. After experiencing Vietnam, Albania and other ungrateful people, China has begun to become like a hegemonic country. It has also encountered a red polar bear who fantasizes about how to sell arms to other countries to make profits all day long and has lost the international spirit of communism. Therefore, the most likely approach for these countries is that the two superpowers will unite to divide the interests of the surrounding small countries. The question for them to stand on is nothing more than whether to choose the distant American free world or the close communist glory.
Choosing to surrender or die may become a problem that leaders of many small countries have racked their brains to think about recently. However, there are also leaders who cannot see the situation clearly and will misjudge the current political situation from the Soviet Union's large-scale disarmament. They think that the Soviet Union is just a simple economic problem and cannot maintain huge military expenditures.
There is no doubt that Japanese Prime Minister Kaifu Toshiki is one of the national leaders who cannot see the situation clearly.
