Soviet Union 1991

(Due to some harmonious factors, the new book "Iron Curtain: Axis of Evil" has been officially renamed "Iron Curtain Germany")

Mario's negotiations were not a matter of sitting down and talking calmly, but a conspiracy of infiltration and counterattack. First, he revealed the private conversation between Madeleine and Baruan to the British government and Germany. %中文%The novel made both parties mistakenly believe that Chirac was going to bring up the past issues of the Barcelona process, and then win over the British Prime Minister to jointly put pressure on Germany.

German Chancellor Kohl, who has withdrawn from internal affairs, expressed serious concerns about the renewed mention of the Barcelona process. In his view, this is the first step for the French to try to split the European Union, because according to their vision, the Mediterranean Union is only composed of countries along the Mediterranean coast. Only southern European countries such as France, Spain and Italy participate in the European continent, and the countries on the south coast are composed of Starting with Egypt, which has close ties with France, France and Egypt hold the first-round co-presidency in the planned Mediterranean Union.

Obviously, France hopes to occupy a dominant position in this alliance and even attempts to compete with Germany for regional dominance in the EU. Cole would never tolerate this.

Now that Germany is in a precarious situation, Cole will never allow France to stab her in the back. If conditions hadn't allowed it, Germany and France would have turned against each other by now.

"Obviously our allies are carrying out an action that endangers the interests of the EU. Germany will never allow the situation to develop arbitrarily. We will organize such dangerous actions and prevent France from trying to go south and cause a break with Germany."

The subtext is that the stupid French guy has not seen clearly that once the EU is gone, France will really have nothing.

Kohl believes that even if Chirac can establish a Mediterranean Union, its closeness and influence will be far less than that of the EU. After all, there are still major political, economic and cultural differences among the countries along the Mediterranean Sea. Their only umbilical connection is the Mediterranean shipping, abundant oil and being a former French colony.

On the other hand, the EU has completely defeated this group of guys with insufficient stamina at every point.

France will not drag itself down to feed a bunch of poor people. Since it proposed this idea, it is nothing more than to seize the raw material market along the North African coast first and ensure its own abundant oil supply. Then comes the common development of the region. The country's starting point is always a self-interested policy.

Cole is not a fool. Now if France is allowed to make small moves behind his back, he will be the loser.

That's why he stood up and warned Cole not to attempt any dangerous actions, otherwise Germany would regard it as a separatist act and attack in groups.

The British attitude seems a bit unclear. The newly appointed Prime Minister simply mentioned the impact that France's establishment of the Mediterranean Union may have on Europe, but did not make any very egregious remarks. It even showed “some interest” in the Mediterranean Bank project.

This attitude is even more dangerous. The interests in Chirac's hands have been targeted by the major European countries.

At this time, Chirac also realized that his opponent was not Cole alone now, including the gloomy eyes sitting in the Washington office. There is also the Prime Minister's Office in No. 10 Downing Street, which also outlines the corners of the mouth with an evil smile.

There are many crises.

President Chirac was even a little overwhelmed before meeting with the Americans.

Western Europe is not the only country that is interested. His little plan is also seen by another person, Comrade Yanayev.

He closely followed the recent actions of the French diplomatic department in order to try to find loopholes. It wasn't until France's first contact with the United States failed and he noticed the United States' ambition to invade the Mediterranean Alliance that he knew the Soviet Union should come into play.

However, Yanayev did not immediately meet with France. Adhering to the century-old tradition of friendship between France and Russia, Yanayev would wait and see what happens. When the situation is unclear, he shows the good quality of not adding insult to injury.

Once Yanayev takes action, he will not lay stones but seal the well.

It was Dobrynin who first proposed the infiltration plan. He hoped that through this matter, he could further consolidate the Soviet Union's interests in the Mediterranean region, especially with North African countries.

But Yanayev took no decisive action. Instead, he unexpectedly waited quietly until Dobrynin could no longer sit still and came to Yanayev to ask why he didn't take this opportunity to act.

"The time has not come yet, Comrade Dobrynin. Although I know you want to intervene now, I have to tell you that the final outcome will be to return without success."

Yanayev was not nervous at all, and motioned to his old friend to be quiet.

"But this is our best opportunity. If the Soviet Union proposes to intervene in the Mediterranean Alliance at this time, the French government simply cannot refuse. Because they also have to face pressure from Germany, Britain and the United States."

"Have I not thought carefully about what you are thinking of? Comrade Dobrynin."

Yanayev paced back and forth in the office and said to Dobrynin who was sitting on the sofa, "In fact, the United States may already be bargaining with the French. If he thinks this is useful, De Gaulle will We will not resist the pressure and carry out the centrifugal policy for so many years.”

Dobrynin grasped his knees with both hands and said doubtfully, "You mean?"

"Yes, it's not just us. The Americans must have made demands earlier than us. France would not agree, which led to the joint pressure from Britain and Germany. After seeing through their move, the next move is easy to judge."

"If Chirac is unwilling to give up the plan, then the final outcome will definitely be that the United States and Britain will also intervene in his small treasury, and the Mediterranean Union will change from a private group of France to a piece of meat shared by the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. Now Chirac can still say that he will never let others get involved, but it will be hard to say after a long time."

In fact, Yanayev also has a little calculation in his mind. Even if he is unable to stop the White House's erosion of Europe, at least the Soviet Union will forcefully get the benefits.

"Assuming that France finally succumbs to the American conditions, then the next step must be the intervention of Britain. Only if the Soviet Union puts forward conditions before France agrees to the Mario government, will Chirac be able to accept them."

Yanayev looked at the number on the date and chuckled, "Looking at the time now, it is estimated that France can still hold on for a while. When the French foreign spokesman starts to soften his tone, he will not be able to hold on."

"If they can't hold on, the Soviet Union should stand up and be the last straw that breaks the camel's back for France's glory." (To be continued.)
