Soviet Union 1991

First update

Dobrynin's visit to the United States will directly dialogue with high-level officials of the U.S. government. U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher and U.S. Presidential Adviser Anthony Lake will take the lead in dialogue with Dobrynin and discuss a series of crises in the Asia-Pacific region. Find a breakthrough and reach a consensus.

Facing two experienced diplomatic politicians, Dobrynin was not worried. He was obviously prepared this time, or the Soviet government he represented was not eager to reach a consensus with the United States, so he From the very beginning, we asked how the United States would treat the incentives for independence? In other words, how to face Masao Iwasato's policies, Dobrynin believes that as long as this issue is properly resolved, the next three-party talks can proceed smoothly.

The meeting place was chosen at the White House, and Dobrynin returned to this familiar building. He politely refused to be accompanied by the new Soviet ambassador to the United States, and faced the American politicians alone. For him, the White House is Dobrynin's battlefield alone.

"The U.S. government has severed relations with the Gulf leaders." U.S. Secretary of State Warren answered bluntly. "Originally, the U.S. government had no formal diplomatic contact with them, so it was nothing. China should "The Gulf issue will be China's personal issue and the US government will not get involved."

"That's all?" Dobrynin frowned dissatisfied. He spread his hands and asked with great disappointment, "Is this all the United States can do?"

"Isn't this enough? Do you still need the U.S. government to issue a public apology statement before you are satisfied?" Consultant Anthony replied confidently, "In the American dictionary, we do not have the word apology."

Dobrynin stared at Consultant Anthony Lake until he felt a little hairy, and then asked with a half-smile, "Excuse me, how many years has Consultant Anthony been involved in political activities?"

"I once presided over the U.S. policy in the Bosnian War, Mr. Dobrynin, and achieved great success." Anthony seemed a little unhappy when others questioned his ability.

"Where were you when the Cuban crisis happened?" Dobrynin leaned back on the sofa, raised his head and said with disdain, "I was already active in the Moscow political scene during the Kennedy era, and I just took office in Washington. The Soviet Ambassador to the United States only took office seven months before the Cuban crisis broke out between the United States and the Soviet Union. It was through me that President Kennedy was able to negotiate terms with Moscow. The Soviet Union withdrew and the United States promised not to attack Cuba and destroy the Castro regime. guaranteed to Withdraw the U.S. military bases in Italy and Turkey that threaten the Soviet Union's southern border. And do you know how important this diplomatic channel is without going through the diplomatic department? In other words, you can directly avoid the State Department bureaucrats around you and go through it. Do you understand the need for my presence over the past few decades to bring the leaders of your country into contact with the top leaders of the Soviet Union? Believe me, Mr. Anthony, I have made far more friends in American politics than you do now. Much more.”

Anthony was speechless by Dobrynin's words. Dobrynin turned around and said to Secretary of State Warren, "Go ahead, Mr. Secretary."

"What else do you need from us?" asked the Secretary of State, who was also speechless.

"After withdrawing the US Pacific Seventh Fleet deployed by China, we will have friendly negotiations with us. Could it be that the Americans' way of negotiating is to place two aircraft carrier battle groups at someone's doorstep, and then tell others that we are here for peace? ?" Dobrynin righteously accused the other party of his shameless behavior. As long as the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group remains in Taiwan waters, it means that the trilateral talks are based on distrust.

Warren frowned, obviously he was dissatisfied with Dobrynin's suggestion, "No, if China takes the opportunity to occupy the Gulf by force when we withdraw from Taiwan, then everything we have done before will be in vain."

Dobrynin replied righteously, "This is China's internal affairs. The Soviet Union has no right to interfere, and neither does the United States. You should negotiate with Chinese diplomats. Whatever happens then, the Soviet Union None of them are responsible.”

After all, the Soviet Union plays the role of a mediator, so it will confidently accuse the United States of transgressions, and at the same time it will not provide any guarantees to the United States. First of all, this is not in the interests of the Soviet Union. Secondly, this conflict is ultimately between China and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union just used this conflict to make a fortune by selling arms.

If we say who is the biggest winner in this conflict in the Asia-Pacific region, it is undoubtedly the Soviet Union, which did not participate in the war.

"I need to respond to the president about this issue. After all, I don't have the right to respond." Warren took a deep breath and seemed to have temporarily figured out Moscow's attitude. They just wanted to negotiate in the three-party talks and The fact that it did not play the role of a lion and open its mouth made the United States feel at ease. It was afraid that China and the Soviet Union would unite to deal with the United States during the talks. This would be the first time in history that the two powers have joined forces.

Dobrynin replied, "I also hope that Washington can respond as soon as possible. One more thing, Secretary Warren, don't think about challenging Beijing's bottom line, otherwise the tripartite talks will become very embarrassing." ending."

"Please also ask China and the Soviet Union to 'raise their hands' on the Korean Peninsula issue." Advisor Anthony said abruptly, "Otherwise, the Taiwan Strait issue will just be resolved and another Korean Peninsula issue will arise."

Anthony was alluding to the recent situation on the Korean Peninsula that has been aggravated by the Asia-Pacific crisis. Dobrynin was stunned for a moment and replied in a serious tone, "The Soviet Union's policy on the Korean Peninsula will not change."

It was difficult for Anthony to figure out whether Dobrynin's ambiguous words supported the Korean reunification of the peninsula or continued to maintain the current situation. But Dobrynin did not come here today for the peninsula issue, so Anthony only briefly touched on the topic.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Dobrynin had no reason to stay in the White House. He stood up and said goodbye to the Secretary of State and Security Advisor. "I am very happy that we can reach an agreement. I think all the subsequent problems will be solved. Goodbye." , Secretary Warren, and Advisor Anthony.”

Dobrynin bid farewell to the two in an elegant and polite way, and a seemingly friendly but full of smoke finally came to an end. (To be continued.)
