Soviet Union 1991

First update, five updates today.

Constantinescu was woken up by the rapid ringing of the phone in his sleep. Obviously he didn't like being woken up by others when he was sleeping in the middle of the night. However, when he picked up the phone, what the other party reported shocked Constantinescu. Siku lost his sleepiness instantly.

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little irritable. The Minister of Defense said to Constantinescu, "The World Bank has frozen our loans, President Constantinescu. And NATO, led by the United States, is calling for restrictions on Romania's foreign trade." Chemical products and minerals enter the Western European market and try to impose economic sanctions on us."

"The Romanian Embassy in the United States called and announced that the U.S. Secretary of State had met with him. The United States stated that if Romania did not stop building missile bases with the Soviet Union, it would adopt a series of unconventional means to solve the problem. That is to say, the possibility of a war is very high. Also, President Constantinescu is on the news right now.”

Constantinescu quickly turned on the TV, and the White House press secretary on the screen was explaining the US government's position to reporters.

"We absolutely cannot tolerate turning Romania into another Cuba. The United States will work with NATO countries to resist the Soviet Union's evil purpose of establishing missile bases in Romania in an attempt to threaten Western Europe. We call on the Romanian president to abandon this dangerous approach and return to the To resolve the issue at the negotiating table, otherwise NATO will resort to force to resolve Romania’s problems.”

Constantinescu's joy has not faded from his face, but he has received such a major blow. He said angrily, "Who can tell me what is going on? We just had a secret negotiation with the Soviet Union during the day yesterday. Negotiation, why do the Americans already know about our actions? And what is going on with the Soviet Union’s deployment of missile bases in Romania?”

No one can give Constantinescu the right answer, at least no one among Romania's senior leaders can give him the answer. The only person who can give him the answer is still staring at the night view outside the window in a daze in the hotel.

Constantinescu had a premonition that this transaction was not a free lunch, but an ulterior conspiracy against Romania. Obviously now that the Soviet Union has dragged Romania down, if he wants to figure out all this, Constantinescu must confront Yanayev face to face and figure out the truth of the matter.

"Prepare the car immediately, I want to meet Yanayev at the hotel!"

A motorcade suddenly appeared downstairs at the Bucharest International Hotel. Constantinescu, who was heavily protected by security personnel, stepped out of the car. He glanced at the brightly lit tall building and then entered the hotel.

The hotel's security facilities have been raised to the highest level, and even Constantinescu had to undergo routine checks when entering the presidential suite. This made the Romanian president feel very unhappy, but he could only suppress his angry thoughts and wait for his entourage. All checked.

The agents accompanying Yanayev led Constantinescu into the presidential suite. Yanayev, who was still dressed rigorously, sat by the window sill. When he turned around and saw Constantinescu with an angry face, Smile and ask the other person to sit down.

"I know what you want to say, President Constantinescu. Do you need some gin?" Yanayev brought the glass to Constantinescu, but the other party pointed at his nose. The expression is even a little ferocious.

"Don't think that I don't know what you're doing behind your back, Yanayev. What's going on in the United States? Before our deal was completed, news inexplicably emerged that the Soviet Union was secretly deploying long-range cruise missiles in Romania to threaten Europe. ”

If the other party was not the General Secretary of the Soviet Union, Constantinescu really wanted to punch him hard on the bridge of the nose.

"Our deal hasn't been completed yet?" Yanayev waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm wrong. Your deal hasn't been completed yet. The Soviet Union has completed the deal. Oh, don't forget, now the whole world Everyone knows Romania’s ambitions, and I think President Constantinescu is now among the most unpopular leaders of European countries.”

Constantinescu sneered and said, "You are wrong, Yanayev. Unfortunately for you, what are we afraid of? Romania only needs to issue a statement proving that this matter is pure rumors and has nothing to do with Romania. Then your The plan failed. No matter what you were planning, General Secretary Yanayev, your move was really bad."

Yanayev took a step forward and stood in front of Constantinescu. He still maintained a calm expression. Even after the conspiracy was seen through, he stretched out a finger and asked, "Is it really a bad move? ? Do you think that given President Mario’s suspicious character, he will believe what you say or what I say? There are no long-range missiles. Does it seem like a low-level lie to the Americans? Even if Romania tries to sever ties now, there is no hope. In the eyes of the United States, you are an accomplice of the Soviet Union. Later, economic sanctions and diplomatic pressure were lifted, and Romania’s original 2 billion low-interest loans were in vain.”

"How is it possible? The Americans so far have no direct evidence to prove that Romania and the Soviet Union...etc."

Constantinescu's expression darkened. He seemed to remember something and said to Yanaev, "I remember now. Su-17M4 fighter jets and Iskander missiles. So that's it. It's not a free lunch. General Secretary Yanaev, I finally know why you are so generous in improving the Romanian army, and even generously providing free maintenance and upgrades. Is it to make the so-called military alliance of the United States look more like that?"

"Congratulations, you got it right." Yanaev raised his glass in front of Constantinescu, and then drank the liquor in it. He put the glass on the table and turned back to look at the Romanian president who was already as pale as death.

Reluctance, anger and regret, all emotions were reflected on his face. Being played like a monkey, no one can suppress the anger in their hearts.

Yanayev handed Constantinescu another document from his briefcase and said, "Now that the situation has evolved to this point, doesn't the Romanian president want to take a look at my other plan? Maybe you will change your mind after reading it." (To be continued.)
