Chapter 227: Iran Hits a Wall
The second update is complete
Even Victor did not expect that he would actually run into ashes on the Iranian side, when he expressed his willingness to provide Iran with a deal for weapons of mass destruction, Iranian President Akbar? Hashmi? Rafsanjani refused, saying euphemistically that Iran does not want a direct conflict with the United States and the West, so Iran does not want to make a deal like buying weapons of mass destruction.
He also hoped that the United States and the Soviet Union could de-escalate the situation of confrontation and conflict, and that the resumption of the struggle between the two superpowers would only draw the small countries into the whirlpool of international politics, and that Iran now only wants to develop its economy carefully, not to set up a strong enemy for itself. The statement of the Iranian side is already clear, and Victor knows that it is useless for him to say more.
While Victor was snubbed on the side of Iranian President Rafsanjani, he was ignored by the former Iranian president, who is now almost equal to Iran's ****** spiritual world leader, ayatollah? Said? Ali? Khamenei received him. The other party expressed great interest in Victor's proposal.
In contrast to Rafsanjani's moderate conservative side, Khamenei represents the radical side of the conservative side, believing that the United States is a hegemonic country that attempts to interfere in Iran's internal affairs through various means and make Iran a watchdog for the United States. Khamenei, who insists on the independence of the Iranian people, stands resolutely against the United States.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable that Iran was later attacked by the United States as a "terrorist state" and an "axis of evil". As far as the United States is concerned, any country that opposes itself is an axis of evil.
"I'm very interested in your weapons of mass destruction. You know. Iran has always been a very sensitive issue when it comes to nuclear technology. It often even involves the hearts of a group of self-proclaimed righteous guys. Khamenei met Victor at his mansion. A communist believer, a ****** spiritual leader, but they came together because of the same enemy.
And Khamenei insists on declaring himself an opponent of nuclear weapons, and he does not want Iran to have them.
"The enemy of our enemy is our friend, and since our friend has difficulties and scruples, then we Soviets will also lend a helping hand." Victor replied generously and decently, implying that we are more than willing to do business with you.
Khamenei picked up the cup on the table with his left hand, and when he brought it to his lips, he suddenly sighed. "It's a pity that I'm no longer the president of Iran, and I don't have the right to ask about such things."
"But everybody knows that you are the spiritual leader of Iran, who led the people of the country to defeat the heroes and greats of Iraq." Victor said suggestively, "At the same time, everyone knows that you are the leader of the army......
"Even so, what can be done? Behind the president's back to make this deal with you? With all due respect, as much as I would like Iran to possess weapons of mass destruction other than nuclear weapons, that does not mean that I am going to challenge Rafsanjani's authority, which is a foolish thing to do. ”
"Here today, I can only tell you that there are people inside Iran, especially in the military, who are interested in your deals. But for some special reasons, we couldn't agree with the president. If this problem can be solved. We'll buy all of your chemical weapons. ”
Khamenei's words were like a tempting candy, suggesting that if Victor could bring Rafsanjani to his knees under pressure, he could make an open deal between the military and the Soviet Union.
"I've said that, so it's up to you, Mr. Victor." There was a hint of cunning in Khamenei's tone, and the abrupt end of the conversation caught Victor off guard.
Viktor had been reporting the news to Yanayev, including President Rafsanjani's rejection of the Soviet Union's chemical weapons deal, and Khamenei's implicit pressure to Rafsanjani in order to coerce him into making the deal.
On the one hand, the radicals represented by Khamenei want to obtain weapons of mass destruction, and on the other hand, the moderates led by Rafsanjani want to maintain peaceful relations between Iran and the West, but Rafsanjani forgets one thing, that is, unless Iran becomes a pawn planted by the United States in the Middle East, when the strategic center of the United States begins to tilt towards the Middle East, the first to bear the brunt is those who are unwilling to cooperate."
The recent situation shows that the United States is gradually stepping up its intervention in the Middle East, while in Europe, NATO is fighting with the Soviet Union as always, and the United States seems to want Western European countries to involve the Soviet Union, which has already lost its strength, and then their strategic focus shifts to the Middle East.
President Bush has already tasted the sweetness of oil in the Gulf War, how could they possibly let go of this liquid gold. The United States does not even need to plunder the oil of other countries on a large scale, as long as they use the war to manipulate the oil futures market, then the United States can still make a windfall through the war even if it does not seize the oil resources of the Middle East countries.
Therefore, Iran's resources and geographical advantages determine that it is a tragic country, and the ******** political system also makes him a pretext for being blamed and attacked by the United States.
It was precisely because of Iran's experience that Yanayev thought of using some anti-American Western countries to forge a red wall for himself to protect oil interests. After the conflict between Iran and the Gulf, which had always been anti-American, Iraq, which hated the United States to the core, naturally became the target of the Soviet Union's great efforts.
"Comrade Yazov, what do you think we should do to bring Rafsanjani to its knees?" Yanayev asked Defense Minister Yazov, who was also one of Yanayev's thinkers.
"There is nothing more oppressive than using false accusations and smears against a country's leadership." Defense Minister Yazov replied.
"What do you think the United States would do if it deliberately allowed the United States to obtain false information that Iran possessed weapons of mass destruction, and that Iran's chemical weapons issue arose at such a critical juncture when preparations for a treaty on the limitation of chemical weapons were signed. The United States, which has been racking its brains about the Iranian nuclear issue for a long time, will of course use this incident to write a special story about Iran. ”
"I believe very much that the United States is slandering and attacking Iran's propaganda capabilities, so we want to completely disillusion Iran's idea of peaceful coexistence with the West, and indirectly push the United States to the opposite side of Iran. In this way, do you think Rafsanjani can continue to hold on to his moderate ideals? ”
"When the time comes, don't talk about weapons of mass destruction, even if it's a real nuclear weapon, they'll be eager to try it. So there is no rush in the Middle East right now, and the main thing to do is to infiltrate countries with high anti-American sentiments, and there is nothing like a military deal to reflect this. ”
"Also, I have a concern about the limitation of chemical weapons, that is, are we really going to sign this treaty? Although the use of chemical weapons has been labelled as inhumane, chemical weapons are still offensive weapons with excellent results in war. ”
Yazov's concerns were also the voice of Yanayev, and to be honest, he was not willing to give up the remains of the Soviet Union's chemical arsenal on Pozruz Island, which represented the results of the Soviet Union's research over the past 70 years. Moreover, destroying these viruses is no less expensive than creating them.
So Yanayev had to think of a way to prevent the treaty from being signed. Even if these viruses are sealed, they are far better than being destroyed. Moreover, the treaty banning the use of chemical weapons was originally a dead letter, and there was no such thing as a ban on the use of white phosphorus bombs in that country in subsequent wars.
It is precisely because of this that Yanayev will try his best to sell some of the chemical weapons in the nerve agent arsenal to Middle Eastern countries, and if the Americans really want to send troops to Iraq in the future, there will be some headaches for the United States.
"Regarding the destruction of the virus, I will get in touch with the Chinese side to a certain extent, and I hope that the two countries will keep the same pace on the issue of this treaty." As the common interests of China and the Soviet Union, it means that the two countries need to advance and retreat together on certain issues of the United Nations.
"The so-called Chemical Weapons Convention of the United Nations is nothing more than a ridiculous joke, and they can only make those countries that do not have chemical weapons cheer, and in fact, when a real war breaks out, who wouldn't mind using such a terrible war machine?" (To be continued.) )
