"Hello, President Mario, I am Comrade Vladimir, Chairman of the Council of Ministers, yes, today I am here to negotiate with you, maybe you are a little strange why I called you at this time, isn't it?"

President Mario didn't know how to answer him, so he listened to him quietly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Don't worry, I'm not here to point fingers, the American side will definitely be very interested in what is happening in Moscow, but I'm sorry I can't reveal any information for the time being, as for where Comrade Yanayev is, this is also a secret that cannot be said. When this is all over, it may be possible for your people to get the inside information. ”

Mario motioned to the people around him not to speak, and he finally couldn't help but speak, "Then why did Comrade Vladimir call, you should be more concerned about what is happening in Moscow now, right?" Aren't you afraid that this phone call will turn the whole situation upside down? ”

Vladimir also laughed on the phone, and the laughter was somewhat sharp, as if sarcastically mocking President Mario, "The victory is decided, and they have no way back." Now I'm going to talk about something else. It may be related to the Moscow embassy in the USSR, so say hello in advance. ”

"Huh?"

President Mario frowned, he did not know that the coup d'état also involved the US Embassy in Moscow, listening to Vladimir's tone, it seemed that there was still an inextricable relationship with the US ambassador, and he was a little worried that the US ambassador to the Soviet Union was doing something behind his back that Washington did not know about, which affected his judgment of the situation.

"You say it, I'm listening."

Mario's palms were dripping with sweat, and he took a deep breath, ready for any shock and questioning from Vladimir.

"I hope that if anything happens in the future, you will not get involved in the political turmoil in Moscow. This is the advice of our friends in the free world, really. ”

Comrade Vladimir on the other end of the line spoke in a flat tone, as if he was telling an inconsequential matter, but it caused President Mario to be nervous, and he mistakenly believed that the U.S. Embassy in the Soviet Union was involved in a coup d'état, and Vladimir's tone was more like a regent.

Struck with awe.

"Washington doesn't know about it here, and that's what the Soviet Union is all about. We're not going to get involved. As for the embassy, we will let you know. ”

"Thank you, President Mario."

After saying this, Vladimir decisively hung up the phone, leaving only a busy sound echoing in Mario's ears. When he came to his senses, he immediately came back to his senses and picked up another phone.

Neither Director Tenet nor Adviser Berger knew what the president was saying on the phone, but he sighed when he saw the other party's solemn look on his face after he put down the phone.

"What's wrong? Your Excellency? What exactly did Vladimir say to you? ”

Tenet was anxious, he needed to be up to date with the latest developments, the C.I.A. was ready in Moscow to take action as soon as President Mario gave the order.

"Director Tenet, I wonder if the CIA has been secretly conducting any secret operations from the White House lately?" As soon as Mario opened his mouth, he pointed at the director of the CIA, who was sitting across from him, "Comrade Vladimir just called and said by name that the US Embassy in the Soviet Union should not take any action. You and I both know that there are agents in the embassy, and they are not hiding from the White House that they are carrying out espionage activities that we don't know about? ”

The eyes of both of them were focused on Tenet's body, and his expression changed instantly, explaining, "No, no, I swear, President Mario, even I don't know about all this. I also learned about it when Dzerzhinsky's division surrounded the Supreme Soviet building. I don't know much more about Moscow than the president. ”

Berger fell into deep thought, he didn't know why Vladimir said such a thing, he always felt that there was something wrong with it. He turned to President Mario and said, "So, Your Excellency, are you going to take action next?" Vladimir told the embassy not to act rashly, why should we obediently listen to Moscow? Maybe you can still reap the benefits of a coup d'état? ”

He had always speculated that Lukyanov had Yanayev's secret in his hands, and he also wanted to try to get in touch with the conservatives in the Supreme Soviet to find out what was going on.

But President Mario vetoed his opinion.

"Not at the moment."

President Mario's suspicions are getting stronger and stronger, "Maybe the other side just wants us to take a risky action to say this, everyone knows that Yanayev's plans are interlocked, and if we act rashly, we may fall into the trap of the other side." ”

Director Tenet put forward his opinion, "Since Vladimir said this openly, it means that he must have hidden his backhand, and no one knows what this secret is, and I suggest that the American ambassador and ambassador counselor should be called immediately to warn them that no matter what the Soviets ask, they will not be allowed to accede." In addition, martial law was imposed on the embassy, all entry and exit activities were stopped, and the US military in the embassy was put on alert to deal with all possible emergencies. At the same time, the Secretary of Defense was called, and the General Staff was on standby at the Pentagon, and if the situation finally got out of control, perhaps the Allied forces in Eastern Europe, President Mario. ”

“……”

"Once the situation is out of control, I don't think it's a matter of coup d'état, it's a political issue between the two countries. It is not good for anyone to be exposed to a political scandal such as the involvement of US embassy personnel in the coup d'état in Moscow. ”

This is definitely an international political scandal, and President Mario has managed to stabilize the situation, and he does not want the two sides to become a stalemate again. Originally, I was watching the drama with a heart of schadenfreude, but now it seems that I don't even have the mood to watch the play.

"Hmmm......"

Fear and a sense of crisis were infinitely magnified in his mind, and President Mario realized that things could not continue like this, so he immediately called the US Ambassador and Counselor to warn him that no one in the embassy was allowed to go out until the coup in Moscow was over.

Director Tenet hurried out of the White House office, he needed CIA agents to be ready in Moscow, and if the situation changed, they would immediately send the American ambassador out of the city and return home.

No one would have imagined that thousands of kilometers away in the White House, everyone would be nervous because of Vladimir's words that did not mean anything.
