Soviet Union 1991

The message to the compatriots was like a spreading prairie fire, quickly burning across Romania. Like a sowing spark or a lit fuse, a large-scale and sustained turmoil quickly formed.

The butcher knife finally came to Congress. The reason why most people opposed the relocation was because everything they owned was in Bucharest, and they felt unwilling to give up rashly. They had even always believed that Constantinescu could hold the fortress, but now it seems that they were wrong, and everything was wrong.

The Soviet Union was not only good at frontal and brutal attacks, but was also no worse than others in terms of cunning. It used Voinea's status as chairman of the Social Democratic Party to more effectively promote his political views.

The root cause of Romania's economic decline and social unrest is that oligarchs control the entire country's economy.

Only by overthrowing the oligarchs sitting high in Congress and overthrowing the communist government headed by Constantinescu can the country be freed from political and economic turmoil.

Voinea even drew up a list. Starting from the President of Romania, to the Minister of National Energy, and then to other oligarchic families that control the monopoly economy such as oil, electricity, transportation, etc., they are all included on this blacklist that "endangers the security of the country and people."

These are the sworn enemies of the Social Democratic Party's coup.

After Yanayev read the report in his Kremlin office, he burst into laughter.

"Interesting, it's so interesting. I didn't expect that I had underestimated this agent from Romania before."

Primakov was a little stunned by Yanayev's gaffe. The general secretary rarely laughed so generously unless there were other topics that aroused his interest.

"Sure enough, they were involved in the democratic rebellion in 1989. The guys who broke away from the Romanian revolution even used the same methods of rebellion. It's scary. It's really scary."

Yanayev held his chin in his hands, holding a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and stared ahead with half-lidded eyes. To Primakov, this image made him look like a sophisticated conspirator.

"Target a handful of oligarchs on the list, and then unify all other classes of people into one huge torrent. Coupled with the rebellious Romanian army, even how Constantinescu emphasized the Soviet Union The threat of invasion cannot suppress the outbreak of internal contradictions. All this is almost a replica of the content of the fifth volume of Mao’s Selected Works on Eastern Europe. It’s really interesting.”

Now it seems that Constantinescu's cabinet and high-level officials in Congress will become the target of public criticism. The last inflammatory slogan "Kill them all" is more powerful than any coercion or inducement.

Kill everyone on the list, they will be the main culprits endangering national security.

Kill them and you will be the heroes of the nation.

"Using the power of the people to eradicate one's political opponents, wow, Voinea seems to be quite good at it." Primakov was also amazed by Voinea's methods.

After the drastic changes, Romania's economy did not develop much, but the political struggle became increasingly severe.

Is this the democracy and order that your Western European countries have always advocated?

Yanayev stared at the slightly melancholy face of President Mario in the newspaper. It seemed that the Soviet Propaganda Department had found another opening to attack the Western democratic world.

“How is our publicity going?”

Yanayev asked Primakov that diplomatic issues were now solely responsible for him and Dobrynin.

"Reconnaissance planes have been used to distribute leaflets, and through the internal and external cooperation of the Social Democratic Party, Voinea's political ideas have been publicized. I think it won't be long before the information comes back."

Social Democratic Party?

Tsk tsk tsk.

Yanayev suddenly felt sorry for Constantinescu. Now the whole of Romania has been riddled with holes. It is impossible to form an invulnerable iron wall from the inside to prevent the penetration of public opinion.

More directly, the people will take matters into their own hands and massacre those traitors.

After listening to Primakov's report, Yanayev felt generally confident. He stood up and went out. US Secretary of State Madeleine had been waiting in the conference hall for a long time. Now it was time to negotiate with the Americans. . After dawdling for so long, what should come will eventually come.

Dobrynin has been waiting at the door for a long time.

"I'm afraid Mario has lost patience with the Eastern European issues?"

Yanayev was walking in the corridor while talking to Dobrynin beside him.

Dobrynin said hurriedly while keeping up with Yanayev, "We have gone too far on the Eastern European issue. The reversal of interests in Eastern Europe for more than ten years has been broken. It is not impossible for Europe and the United States to Don’t regard us as a threat. To be honest, General Secretary Yanayev, I think that after completing Romania’s feat, they should not provoke the Americans’ bottom line now.”

Dobrynin hinted that Yanayev must not act on impulse and choose a showdown with the United States at this time. After finally getting over the dual economic and political crises, the focus should be on settling down and pursuing economic development with peace of mind.

Yanayev has made no secret of his admiration for Dobrynin, but Romania is the key to his comeback in Eastern Europe. If it can gnaw off half of Romania and add its Bulgarian quasi-Aslav brothers, the United States will not be able to form a Polish-Balkan political blockade that can effectively curb the development of the Soviet Union.

Although it cannot recreate the glory of the 1970s, it is enough to alleviate the pain of the drastic changes.

In front of a mahogany door, Yanayev stopped, and Dobrynin, who was originally following him, also followed behind him and stopped stepping forward.

"The Western group represented by Madeleine has only one purpose, which is to force us to give up our attack on Romania. If we don't agree, maybe they will take more radical measures."

"I will try my best to hold them back at the negotiating table, and I'll leave the rest to you."

The sudden plea made Dobrynin a little unaccustomed, and the General Secretary's earnest words made him feel that the next plan would be difficult.

Yanayev took a deep breath and stepped into the brightly lit conference room. Everyone is waiting for his arrival.

The woman sitting in a prominent position raised her head and looked at the door.

Madeline's sinister eyes reminded him of some kind of venomous snake living in the shadows, ready to bite anyone at any time.

And the biting fangs were quickly revealed. From the moment Yanayev entered the door, Madeleine had already prepared a series of follow-up actions.

"The recent movements of Yanayev in Romania have made the United States deeply uneasy. Both the White House and the Pentagon believe that this is a signal to provoke World War III, so I want to know when you are going to withdraw your troops. If you do not withdraw, NATO will intervene in your invasion."

Yanayev smiled, pointed at Madeleine, and said sarcastically, "Sorry, I hope you should clarify a question. The United States has put the cart before the horse. How can we say that the Romanian government incited the Romanian people in Moldova to rebel? It was clear that Constantinescu deliberately stirred up trouble, but now he turned around and said that we incited the people of Moldova? "

Madeleine glanced at her watch, then looked at Yanayev in front of her, and said confidently, "Chairman Yanayev, what you have done has invaded a sovereign country! This is already an act of aggression, NATO , and even the United Nations has condemned your invasion! We will never allow this shameless invasion to continue! Hehe."

Yanayev curled up his lips with disdain. The United States’ foreign policy has always been dominated by double standards. What is an act of justice for them is aggression and atrocities for other countries.

"Yes, for your shamelessness, this is an illegal intrusion."

"But for the dozen people who died in the riot, this is justice!"

Yanayev had already prepared his rhetoric and moved out the people who died in the riots in Moldova. He pointed to the row of cold bodies covered with white shrouds in the photo, and said coldly, "This is what those incited Romanians did. Look at them, those dead people, this is you." Shameless justice? Is this what you call a crime of aggression? If even the government chooses to remain silent, who will seek justice for those who have lost their sons, their mothers, their wives, and their husbands? Do people want justice?”

Yanayev stood up suddenly. He was still some distance away from Madeleine, but he revealed a sense of oppression and anger from a strong man. Even she who had experienced international diplomacy felt an inexplicable fear.

A born leader...

Ivan the Terrible of the Soviet Union…

The corner of Madeline's mouth twitched. She was stunned by Yanayev's momentum, and suddenly she went from being confident to being speechless.

He pointed to the woman across the negotiating table and asked in fluent English, "The whole world has not set its sights on them, only the dictators you call them, seek justice for them! What have the United Nations and human rights organizations done? They have nothing, A bunch of useless trash who only knows how to condemn!”

Yanayev’s remarks were so shocking that even Madeleine sitting opposite was frightened. He did not expect that the other party would openly criticize the United Nations and NATO, and for a while he was reduced to a passive role.

Yanayev silently took off his glasses and wiped the dust from them.

"You may not care about the dozen or so people who died, and the whole world can choose to forget these dozen or so people and not hold them accountable. But we care, the people in the photo care, and the entire Soviet Union cares!"

He put on his glasses again, raised his head and looked at the woman sitting opposite, whose face was as pale as paper, and her tone was as cold as winter.

"If anyone dares to stop us from seeking justice for those people, the steel tracks will crush them and never let them go!" (To be continued.)
