The first order finalized by the Soviet Union and Hungary temporarily alleviated the unsalable consequences caused by the anti-dumping laws of Europe and the United States, and at the same time disgusted each other severely. Of course, Pavlov is not a fool, the Soviet Union will not stick to the capital to aid Hungary, but will only achieve a win-win and mutually beneficial situation as much as possible under the cooperation of both sides.

Just when the EU was complacent, a piece of news slapped the other side in the face like a loud slap in the face, and Alpad announced that he would deepen economic and trade cooperation with the Soviet Union, promote friendly development between the two sides, and get rid of Hungary's economic predicament at an early date. In other words, Hungary is not afraid of US sanctions, because the enemy of its enemies is its friends.

Of course, it would be a shame for the United States not to revoke the bill so quickly to win over Hungary, but the U.S. government has other ways to deal with Hungary, and for those Eastern European countries that are not very obedient, economic sanctions are only the first step.

After completing his mission, Pavlov did not make a stop in Budapest, but returned directly to Moscow, marking the first small step in the Soviet Union's strategy of returning to Eastern Europe. Yanayev intended to send a friendly signal to Poland to improve relations between the two countries, which had deteriorated since the Walesa era, but Kwasniewski's response to the Soviet Union was somewhat cold and even hostile.

"Cooperation with the USSR is a joke, Poland's economy is not bad enough to be like that." President Kwasniewski listened to the report and frowned. He had heard of Hungary cooperating with the Soviet Union to get rid of trade barriers, but he had Poland do the same with its former enemies. Kwasniewski had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart. Ultimately. Or is it the prejudice in his heart that is affecting his judgment? Every time the Soviet Union wanted to engage in large-scale economic and trade exchanges. The first thing that came to Poland's mind was the sugar-coated shells of the Soviet Union.

"Even if the Americans had adopted anti-dumping laws that sanctioned Polish goods from entering their country, Poland was not so bad that it needed a handout from the Soviet Union to survive, and who knows if Yanayev was trying to make a copy of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance?"

"But Hungary has found a way out through economic trade with the Soviet Union, unsalable products, and solved the problem of being sanctioned by Western Europe and the United States, and I think it is possible to try to trade with the Soviet Union on a large scale. And the Soviet Union is now gradually opening up its markets, President Kwasnievsky, you think. A huge country, a huge market, for the export of Polish products, there are unlimited business opportunities. Prime Minister Pavlak admonished, "There is no need for Poland to get by for money." ”

"Poland also doesn't have to get along with history for the sake of money."

Perhaps finding that his statement was inappropriate, President Kwasniewski added, "Does Hungary really think that the Soviets are not doing anything behind their backs?" What if this large-scale economic and trade activity was just a conspiracy of the Soviets to harvest the wealth of the Eastern European countries? And the sanctions of Western Europe and the United States do not last long, they need our products. Once there is a vacancy, it is equivalent to the loss of the development opportunity that the Americans rely on to survive. ”

"And what does the USSR say about interest-free loans to Hungary? This illustrates the Soviet Union's attempt to control Hungary through economic control. so that it could be reclassified into the communist sphere of influence. ”

Poland, who was paranoid, was more likely to believe that the disguised economic bailout was a conspiracy than the good intentions of the Soviet Union. In the face of President Kwasniewski's persistence. Pavlak had no choice but to shut up, why Poland would rather be pitted by Western Europe and the United States again and again, than believe in the olive branch thrown by its neighbors.

Yanayev was in full view of Poland's every move, and when the other party refused his help, he shook his head and was speechless. Sure enough, Poland, as the best country in Europe, does not have one of them, and the brain circuits can almost catch up with the Indian people who drink the water of the Ganges. In addition to making people scold a damn retard, the rest is more to deplore the stupidity of the Polish president.

Although the Soviet Union also had its own small calculations in economic and trade, on the whole it was of great benefit to Poland's economic development, and Poland would rather be pitted by the United States and Western Europe than be far from receiving its own aid, and the whole of Moscow was shocked by Poland's performance and sighed.

Since Poland does not agree, then Yanayev will not be reluctant, because Poland will one day pay for its stupidity.

The next thing he wants to do is to further deepen the estrangement between Hungary and Western Europe, and between it and the United States, create divisions, and win over Hungary.

Relying on one economy and trade alone can only make Hungary grateful to Dade, but it cannot make the other side follow him with all his heart, so it is best to let Alpad know that they have no way back except to follow the Soviet Union. Yanayev's next step is to make a fuss about the World Bank, which provides loans to Eastern Europe. Rumors have always been more impactful than the truth.

So the Soviet Union also began to spread a large number of rumors about the World Bank to Eastern Europe, newspapers, radio, all the means at their disposal, just like a fly does not bite an egg, the World Bank did those hidden and dirty things were exposed, rumors about the Western European countries' attempt to control Eastern Europe economically. On top of that, the reports that have been heavily researched by data make one have to question the veracity of what they say about the World Bank.

How would the disgruntled masses feel when they found out that the government had been deceiving them and that democracy and freedom were nothing more than empty promises they had made to win votes? Will you regret turning your back on socialism and embracing hypocritical Western-style democracy?

Some people scoff at these reports, and some believe them.

Naturally, the policies of government authorities with interests in mind will not be confused by such reports with obvious positions, but for the civil opposition and the economically disgruntled masses, this is the best fuse to fan the flames. Especially after the authorities blocked the reports, the discontent of the masses began to manifest.

One report was not enough to topple the regimes in Eastern Europe, but it was the first time that the Soviet Union, which had been dormant for several years, launched an offensive of public opinion, and it also sent a signal to the United States and its allies.

Scared, Americans?

It is not a torrent of steel of war, but a conspiracy that goes hand in hand.

The Iron Curtain of the Soviets is returning to Eastern Europe. (To be continued.) )
