Soviet Union 1991

The first order finalized by the Soviet Union and Hungary temporarily alleviated the consequences of slow sales caused by European and American anti-dumping laws, and at the same time severely disgusted each other. Of course, Pavlov is not a fool. The Soviet Union will not assist Hungary at its own expense. It will only achieve a win-win and mutually beneficial situation as much as possible with cooperation between the two parties.

Just when the EU was complacent, a piece of news hit the other side hard in the face like a loud slap in the face. Arpad announced that it would deepen economic and trade cooperation with the Soviet Union, promote the friendly development of both parties, and get rid of Hungary's economic difficulties as soon as possible. In other words, Hungary is not afraid of US sanctions, because the enemy of its enemy is a friend.

Of course, the United States will not withdraw the bill so quickly to win over Hungary. This is really embarrassing for him, but the U.S. government has other ways to deal with Hungary. For those Eastern European countries that are not very obedient, economic sanctions are only the first choice. Just steps.

After Pavlov completed his mission, he did not stay in Budapest, but returned directly to Moscow. The first large-scale cooperation with Hungary marked the first small step in the Soviet Union's strategy of returning to Eastern Europe. Originally, Yanayev intended to send a friendly signal to Poland and improve the relations between the two countries that had deteriorated since the Lech Walesa era. However, Kwasniewski's response to the Soviet Union seemed a bit cold, even pessimistic. hostility.

"Cooperating with the Soviet Union is simply a joke. Poland's economy is not that bad yet." President Kwasniewski frowned as he listened to the report. He had heard about Hungary cooperating with the Soviet Union and getting rid of trade barriers, but letting Poland do this with its former enemy made Kwasniewski feel uncomfortable in his heart. In the final analysis, it is the prejudice deep in his heart that affects his judgment. Every time the Soviet Union wanted to carry out large-scale economic and trade exchanges, the first thing Poland thought of was the Soviet Union's sugar-coated bullets.

"Even if the Americans adopt an anti-dumping bill and sanction Polish goods entering their country, Poland is not so bad that it needs charity from the Soviet Union to survive. And who knows whether Yanayev is trying to replicate the Committee for Mutual Economic Assistance of that year. ?”

"But through economic trade with the Soviet Union, Hungary's unsalable products have found a way out and solved the problem of being sanctioned by Western Europe and the United States. I think we can try large-scale trade with the Soviet Union. Moreover, the Soviet Union is now gradually opening up its market. President Wasniewski, think about it, a huge country and a huge market have unlimited business opportunities for Polish product exports," Prime Minister Pavlak advised, "Poland does not need to do it for money. And can’t get through.”

"Poland also has no need to live with history just for money."

Perhaps realizing that his statement was somewhat inappropriate, President Kwasniewski added, "Does Hungary really think that the Soviets are not doing anything behind the scenes? What if this large-scale economic and trade activity is just the Soviet Union's harvest of Eastern Europe?" What about a conspiracy of national wealth? And the sanctions of Western Europe and the United States will not last long. Once there is a vacancy, it will mean that Americans have lost the development opportunities they rely on. "

"Moreover, the Soviet Union also provided interest-free loans to Hungary. What does this mean? This shows that the Soviet Union is trying to control Hungary through economic control so that it can be reclassified into the sphere of influence of the Communist Party."

Poland, which suffers from severe persecution paranoia, would rather believe that this disguised economic rescue is a conspiracy than believe in the Soviet Union's good intentions. Faced with President Kwasniewski's persistence, Pavlak had no choice but to shut up. Why would Poland rather be trapped by Western Europe and the United States than believe in the olive branch extended by its neighbors?

Yanayev had a panoramic view of Poland's every move. When the other party refused his help, he shook his head and was speechless. Sure enough, Poland is one of the best countries in Europe, and its brain circuit can almost catch up with the Indian people who drink Ganges water. In addition to being scolded for being mentally retarded, the rest is more about deploring the stupidity of the Polish president.

Although the Soviet Union also had its own small plans for economic and trade, it was generally of great benefit to Poland's economic development. Poland would rather be cheated by the United States and Western Europe than accept its own aid. The whole of Moscow was interested in Poland. The performance was shocking, and I sighed every moment.

Since Poland does not agree, Yanayev will not force it, because Poland will one day pay the price for its stupidity.

What he has to do next is to further deepen the gap between Hungary and Western Europe, and the United States, split it, and win over Hungary.

Relying on economic and trade alone can only make Hungary grateful, but it cannot make the other party follow it wholeheartedly, so it is best to let Arpad know that they have no retreat except to follow the Soviet Union. Yanayev's next step is to make a fuss about the World Bank, which provides loans to Eastern Europe. Rumors are always more powerful than the truth.

So the Soviet Union also began to spread a large number of rumors about the World Bank to Eastern Europe. Newspapers, radio stations, and all available means were used. Just like flies that don’t bite seamless eggs, what the World Bank did before was very hidden and dirty. Things broke out, rumors that Western European countries were trying to economically control Eastern Europe. The most important thing is that those reports that have been verified by a large amount of data make people have to doubt the authenticity of the World Bank they say.

How will the dissatisfied masses feel when they find out that the government has been deceiving them and that democracy and freedom are just empty promises made by them to win votes? Will they regret abandoning socialism and embracing hypocritical Western democracy?

Some people scoff at these reports, while others believe them to be true.

The policies of the government authorities with interests in mind will naturally not be confused by such reports with obvious positions, but for the opposition and the masses who are dissatisfied with the economy, this is the best fuse to fan the flames. Especially after the government authorities banned these reports, the dissatisfaction of the masses began to emerge.

One report is not enough to overthrow the regime in Eastern Europe, but this is the first time that the Soviet Union, which has been silent for several years, has taken the initiative to launch an offensive in public opinion, and it also sent a signal to the United States and its allies.

Are you scared, Americans?

It is not the steel torrent of war, but the conspiracy and conspiracy.

The Soviet iron curtain is returning to Eastern Europe. (To be continued.)
