Chapter 476: Sufa Pits NATO
Fifth more
In fact, it is impossible for France and the Soviet Union to sign any secret agreement, after all, the basis for cooperation between the interests of the two sides is not very solid, and it can only be said that under relative circumstances, they will try to join forces with NATO. As for what kind of disagreement France will have with NATO, which has sold its teammates, Yanayev has no control.
Since France's reason for existence is to add blockage to NATO countries, Yanayev unceremoniously carried out the blockage campaign to the end, and just after the completion of this secret agreement, Soviet Prime Minister Pavlov suddenly announced his visit to France, and announced in a high-profile manner that the Soviet Union would carry out new trade cooperation with France and contribute to the economic and trade between the two countries. As an ally who has just received benefits, Chirac naturally reaffirmed the tradition of Franco-Russian friendship since ancient times, and the friendship between the two sides is long live.
This smoke bomb was put into such a big way that the political elites of Europe could not understand what was going on between the two countries, and why did it suddenly become Franco-Russian friendship? This came even more suddenly than Kissinger's visit to China back then, is there any dirty secret behind it? The greater the Soviet maneuvers in Europe, the less other countries perceived France's small maneuvers in Libya.
In this case, the new agent cultivated by France in Libya began to forcibly annex the oil fields of Libya, and he did not care which European country was behind those oil fields, and for France, which had great ambitions, it was his goal to forcibly divide the oil fields with Britain and Germany.
At the same time, KGB intelligence officers launched a lobbying operation in Kufra, and Gaddafi, who had already sunset, was very surprised that he actually received a "friendly olive branch" from the Soviet Union at this time. You must know that now the whole world has abandoned him, except for his own cronies and retinue, Gaddafi is in a state of isolation.
The KGB's intelligence officer is not here to help him, he only indirectly provided Gaddafi with information through this contact with Gaddafi's cronies, that the oil fields in central Libya will be in a weak defensive charge for a period of time in the future, and if the government army still wants to counterattack and seize the oil town of Libya, it is best to take this opportunity, and France will also carry out covering air strikes in the central region, and the target of this air attack is no longer Gaddafi's government army, but the Libyan Free Army that controls the oil fields.
"Now that the opposition strongholds of the Free Army are in disarray, the agents controlled by various states have no energy to fight the war to the south in order to compete for the right to exploit the oil fields. The longer things drag on, the more passive they become towards government forces. So it's best to take advantage of the time to go north and reclaim your oil town. I think the reason why President Gaddafi didn't do it was because he realized that the oil in the south could no longer meet the supply of the army, right? Either slowly deplete it, or take a gamble to seize the oil town, at least it will not sit still. And France has temporarily stopped targeting government forces, so your number one air threat is gone. ”
Qaddafi's words made Gaddafi think for a long time, and finally he thought that this plan was very feasible, and that the plan provided by the KGB intelligence officer was feasible, and now the government army is indeed at the most critical moment, the weapons and equipment were heavily damaged in the early stage of the war, and the current government army no longer has enough tanks and aircraft.
All the Soviets had to do was to direct the scourge of government forces to the oil towns controlled by Britain and Germany.
Gaddafi gambled the last step and reformulated his strategy, which was to seize the oil-extracted areas of central Libya, and at the instigation of the Soviet Union, gather his last armored forces to complete a Northern Expedition.
What the government troops did immediately made Germany and Britain not calm, and this is simply their lives. While the oil extraction facilities were still in good condition, Britain and Germany were desperately trying to extract oil in Libya, but they didn't expect Gaddafi to come back so soon. Of course, they were not nervous about Gaddafi's counteroffensive, because there were also French fighter jets to protect British oil facilities. John Major even went so far as to advertise that this was just Gaddafi's last war, and that it would be as defeated as before.
However, the reality surprised Prime Minister John Major, and President Jacques Chirac came out and announced that France would no longer use fighter jets against Gaddafi's government forces because of financial problems. And the subtext that Chirac didn't say was that it was France's retaliation for the unequal distribution of spoils among its allies.
Britain had no choice but to urgently dispatch a handful of fighter jets to stop the government army's attack, but Chancellor Jacques Chirac's next move was to send fighter jets to bomb British and German-backed proxy ground facilities to clear the way for the advance of Gaddafi's government forces. Because of the conflict of interests between France and NATO countries, the Libyan civil war has completely turned into a war waged by proxies by European powers.
John Major and German Chancellor Kohl were greatly annoyed by this French move, and Moscow could only say that this betrayal of its allies had done a good job, and this was the end of Britain and Germany's attempt to eat alone.
Since the other party has torn its face, France has no reason to pretend to be a good person, not to mention that France has always emphasized that the Mediterranean countries have been France's territory since ancient times, and if France is ugly in Libya, Britain and Germany will definitely not have a good life, and they will swallow the interests of other countries in Libya.
France has proved with its own actions that it is painful to offend a big European country, and in the case of France's blockage, no matter how frequent the number of fighter jets dispatched by Britain, it will not be able to resist the rhythm of France selling its teammates. Under the chaos of France, Gaddafi's government forces had a tendency to advance all the way, and soon approached the core of British and German interests.
Under such circumstances, Britain and Germany had no choice but to bow their heads and kneel in despair and beg France to raise their noble hands. Britain had also thought of putting pressure on France to force the other side to make concessions, but France directly tore its skin and declared that once Britain took measures, then France would take more radical measures to force Britain to compromise, which was completely barbaric and unreasonable.
There is no way, in such a situation, Britain can only choose to back down, and the oil fields in Libya are Shell's life-saving charm. The fall of Shell, the European oil control bloc, which has been losing ground in the Middle East war, symbolizes the loss of a large amount of money in Europe.
But the resentment of Britain and Germany against France will not end, after all, they have violated their own interests, and just when France is busy scooping up "black gold", the relationship between Britain, Germany and France began to crack. (To be continued.) )
