Soviet Union 1991

First update

The news that Yanayev was preparing to visit Bulgaria reached the ears of President Mario. Especially when he heard that the other party was preparing to attack Romania's anti-missile system, he began to feel deeply worried. 13579246810±vv± Because he failed to keep Yanayev trapped in the Caucasus issue before, and now the Soviet Union is focusing its attention on Eastern Europe again, this is not good news.

The United States spent far more energy and energy on Romania than Bulgaria. When the US Secretary of State visited Romania, he was not only willing to let the World Bank provide Romania with a low-interest loan, but also provided military aid for Romania. The purpose was to win over Constan Dinescu, let him stand firmly on the side of the NATO camp. After all, in Mario's view, Romania is more worthy of spending energy to win over than Bulgaria.

So now that he heard that Yanayev was planning to attack Romania, President Mario immediately confirmed it to President Constantinescu.

When presidential aides told Constantinez Cumario that the president had called, he immediately anticipated what would happen. After all, both NATO and the Soviet Union are now seeking support from Eastern Europe. Whoever controls Eastern Europe is equivalent to controlling the situation.

The pattern of confrontation is no longer there. If Eastern Europe completely falls to NATO, the Soviet Union's living space will be further squeezed, and it will become even more difficult.

So Constantinescu just thought about it for a moment and answered the phone. For him, if he could get more political benefits from the United States, he would make a deal with President Mario.

"Yes, the Soviet diplomatic department has sent people to inform and negotiate about this matter. General Secretary Yanayev of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union will indeed visit Romania in the near future and will conduct a visit for the subsequent economic exchanges and cooperation between the Soviet Union and Romania. "Constantinescu told Mario everything very frankly. He didn't want to leave the world's overlord with the image of a deceitful villain.

Eastern Europe needs the Soviet Union's oil and natural gas, which is why even if they leave the Soviet Union's sphere of influence, they still show some good intentions toward the Soviet Union. Except for the Polish leaders who are not particularly smart, most of them are still very clear-headed. Even if you find trouble with the Soviet Union on small issues, don't find fault with the other side on issues related to the Soviet strategy.

But now President Mario just hopes that Constantinescu will cause trouble with the Soviet Union on issues related to strategic survival.

"I hope President Constantinescu can consider this issue carefully. After all, Romania is still a friend of NATO." The semantics of Mario's words were somewhat unclear, but Constantinescu could still get the general idea, "Evil Empire" The leaders of China will never visit as simple as economic cooperation. For them, this is not just a visit. It's just an excuse to break the situation. Their more important reason is about the development of the Soviet strategic space. Obviously, Romania has blocked the expansion of Soviet power in Europe. My friend Yanayev just wants to pass. So-called economic cooperation exchanges come to you and lay out their plans, just like Bulgaria did before."

"What's the plan?" Constantinescu asked.

"The first thing to bear the brunt of the plan to resist the maintenance of strategic security in Europe is the anti-missile system prepared to be deployed in Romania. Yanayev came here for this aspect." The US president said bluntly, "This is why we are Reasons for deploying anti-missile systems on Romanian soil to resist Soviet expansion.”

Constantinescu frowned, thinking that things were not that simple after all. He had had headaches before whether to join the NATO anti-missile system. After all, this was a prudent choice. If it is not handled properly, the United States and the Soviet Union will join forces to kill Romania.

Firstly, Romania did not want to pay high money for the anti-missile system, especially when the Soviet Union did not intend to target Romania. Secondly, it did not want to be regarded as a thorn in Yanayev's side, but it offended the Soviet Union and offended the Soviet Union. The fate of the United States seems to be no different. Romania will certainly pay a price.

Small countries need to survive in the cracks of big countries and require a certain degree of political wisdom. Unfortunately, most leaders often do not have this advantage, or they think they have this advantage.

The result is nothing less than what happened to Libya and Poland.

"I will carefully consider President Mario's opinions and strive for the initiative at the negotiating table. Believe me, President Mario, Romania knows how to deal with Yanayev's questioning. Oh, by the way, there is another question, about As for the economic assistance you promised to Romania before, we hope that the United States can increase low-interest loans to Romania.”

Constantinescu wanted to use this as a blackmail to ask President Mario for more loans. Obviously, the conditions offered by the United States no longer satisfy him. Since it is in a key position in the anti-missile system game, it is understandable that Romania needs to write more loans.

The persistent economic downturn in 1997 had begun to hit all aspects of the Romanian economy. The downturn in the industrial and financial industries will affect Constantinescu's support among the public, so Constantinescu needs a life-saving payment to stimulate the sluggish economy.

"The White House will consider this matter carefully, as long as Romania does what the United States says. We will not treat you badly with nearly 2 billion U.S. dollars in low-interest loans."

2 billion?

Constantinescu smiled and agreed to President Mario's request.

"Very good, then I look forward to good news from President Constantinescu."

After hanging up the phone, President Mario's suppressed emotions finally broke out, and he showed his impatient side.

"Damn old fox." President Mario's expression became gloomy. Constantinescu is still needed now, and the Romanian government cannot break up. The Secretary of State once said that Constantinescu is not an easy person to deal with. He will use the political environment all the time to seek political benefits.

However, for President Mario, Constantinescu is still too young. The low-interest loans from the United States have a series of additional requirements. The extremely shrewd Americans are always thinking about getting the most benefits from the Turkish government.

"After this incident is over, I will let President Constantinescu know what it means to offend the White House." (To be continued.)
