On September 29, 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, French Prime Minister Daladier, Nazi Germany Hitler, and Italian Mussolini signed the Munich Treaty. In order to avoid the outbreak of war, Britain and France continued to promote the policy of appeasement, and ceded the Sudetenland to Nazi Germany at the expense of Czechoslovakia.

Today, in 1991, the heads of state of Great Britain, the United States, Germany, the Soviet Union, Lithuania, and Latvia also gathered here to discuss the question of the three Baltic states. As for what you want to do with the regimes of the Baltic states, that's your business.

Of course, the Soviet Union would respect the decisions of Western European countries, so I am afraid that only the leaders of two small countries, Vytautas and Anatoly, have not seen the situation clearly. They also thought that they had found a strong backup that could deal with the Soviet Union, but they did not know that they had already been clearly marked and thrown out as a bargaining chip.

The Western world was afraid of the Soviet Union's simple and brutal methods, and they chose to compromise after the failure of the deterrent operation.

Brent was also present at the meeting, and his goal was not to participate in the discussions, but to observe Yanayev's every move, and analyze Yanayev's personality through his behavior in order to understand his opponents. But Brent made an unexpected discovery, when he noticed that the young man who was following Yanayev always looked at him with a look that he had only met when dealing with CIA agents abroad. A look that seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts, exposing the darkest secrets of the heart.

"What an interesting young man." Brent subconsciously touched his chin because of nervousness, and he decided not to continue to observe the guys around Yanayev, but to focus on the negotiating table and quietly wait for the start of the parliament.

As in all summits, there is always a concluding statement with little substance, and the opportunity to speak is naturally given to US President George W. Bush, who is nothing more than a celebration of the fact that everyone is happy to be able to resolve their disputes at the negotiating table, and that it is an honor to preside over this meeting. After listening to these boring and hypocritical speeches, Yanayev was about to fall asleep, and he glanced at the leaders of other countries with the same impatience.

At this moment, Yanayev felt that it was much easier for him to activate the Dead Hand system than to intrigue here, and when it was your turn to dictate the internal affairs of the Soviets.

"That's enough, Mr. Bush. Your presentation was brilliant, but I don't have a lot of time, so can you get straight to the point without nonsense? Don't you just look at everyone's impatient looks? Yanayev asked directly. His answer was short and rude, and even a little rude, and he directly blocked Bush's speech, which was supposed to continue.

"The personality is more impulsive and irritable, well, this is the criticism of the Soviet leaders. From Stalin, to Khrushchev, and later to Brezhnev, it seems to be an inextricable vicious circle. Brent carefully recorded the data he saw on paper, but Yanayev, who was sitting directly opposite, was also watching his every move, intentionally or unintentionally.

He noticed Brent's name in the parliamentary list provided by the KGB before, and after reading the information collected by all parties, Yanayev found out that this think-tank figure had served as a profiler for the CIA, so Yanayev deliberately showed an impulsive personality that did not match it in the meeting, in order to make them bias the data because of personality problems when analyzing problems. They just like the Soviet leaders who can't hold their breath.

"I'm sorry President Yanayev, but it seems that this sincere speech does not seem to touch your hearts." Bush said in a meaningful way, "Since you don't like a good-natured speech, I'm going to get straight to the point." As a matter of recent unrest in the Baltic Sea, all parties in the world have expressed great concern. It is also hoped that the chancellors of the three Baltic states and the president of the Soviet Union will exercise restraint on both sides. We are also very concerned about the unfair verdict that happened to the President of Estonia and will continue to follow up on the incident......"

When Bush said this, Vytautas and Anatoly looked at each other and smiled, Bush's remark has already indicated NATO's attitude and viewpoint, and even Yanayev on the other side frowned slightly, Bush's remarks were slightly different from what he expected, is this meeting really not as simple as imagined?

Bush's next speech can be said to be a turning point, which directly made Vytautas and Anatoly's smiles freeze on their faces, "Of course, we fully respect the views of the Soviet Union, say that the Baltic Sea is an inalienable and sacred part of the inherent territory of the Soviet Union, and hope that the Soviet leaders can give a satisfactory answer at this meeting." ”

"President Bush, you're different from what I said." Anatoly was anxious and began to say nothing, "You promised us that NATO would give strong support to the three Baltic countries and pay close attention to the threat from the east. How can all this be said to have changed? ”

"And you promised us the opportunity to provide economic and military assistance in the event of success, do you intend to go back?" Vytautas directly stood up and questioned Bush, and the expressions on the faces of other leaders suddenly became much more exciting.

"Ahem." Bush coughed and continued, "Yes, I did, but all issues are based on the Soviet Union's indisputable sovereignty over the three Baltic states. ”

Yanayev watched expressionlessly as they staged a drama where sovereignty is higher than human rights, and directly interrupted Anatoly just when he wanted to argue, "President Anatoly, are you deaf?" Or is it a lack of clarity in thinking? President Bush has made it very clear that no human right is above sovereignty. Besides, this meeting is a negotiation between me and NATO, and neither Lithuania nor Latvia has the right to intervene. The reason why you have a seat at this table is not because you fought for it, but because we use you as a bargaining chip, you know? ”

"Bastard!" Vytautas scolded Yanayev directly, but for Yanayev, who was accustomed to the military coercive pressure of NATO, this foul language was as weak as hitting cotton. He said unrelentingly, "The fate of small countries is to be played as a card by the big countries, don't talk about international morality and justice, truth only exists within the range of artillery fire, and unfortunately, the Soviet Union's artillery fire in the Baltic Sea has a farther range than other big countries that claim to be fair, am I right, President Bush?" ”

Hearing Yanayev's question, Bush smiled awkwardly, and the leaders of other countries looked at their hearts and minds, and these were originally "truths" that everyone kept secret. It was really embarrassing to be directly singled out by the Soviet leader, and if it weren't for the fact that NATO chose to tolerate it this time due to the military pressure of the polar bear, others might have gone crazy on the spot.

"You cowards, the people of the three Baltic states, and international justice will never forget your history of conniving at violent totalitarianism." Vytautas slammed the door in anger, Lithuania and Latvia are now occupied by Soviet troops, and coupled with the embattled civil unrest, Vytautas and Anatoly can no longer return to their homeland, but can only drift around. So before leaving, Vytautas threatened Yanayev and said, "Don't think that you can intimidate the people of Lithuania by installing a brutal puppet regime, we will establish a government-in-exile abroad and continue to fight against you!" ”

Yanayev pursed his lips and said indifferently, "Okay, I'll wait." The last person who threatened us was Hitler, and then he committed suicide in the Chancellery of this country, so I have to admit that Vytautas, you do have the courage to face death. ”
