The third more

No matter how unwilling President Chirac was to admit his policy mistakes, he changed his policy in Libya, from funding the February Revolutionary Brigade to standing idly by, so that he would not care about the life or death of a group of militiamen, and the Butifler pool turned from a bully at the beginning to a tug-of-war between the two sides.

This is President Chirac's vote, which means that France will not conspire with the United States to touch the cheese of the Soviet Union, and France also asked the Soviet Union to raise its noble hand on the issue of arms sales to Vietnam and let France go for once. Of course, after seeing that France put down his body, he did not press forward step by step on the South China Sea issue, and finally let Vietnam and France reach an order for five Fighter-class missile patrol boats, but after consideration by the Ministry of Defense, they still chose the familiar Soviet Cassin-class destroyers, because the Soviet Union promised to help them upgrade the anti-aircraft missiles of the ships in service, which France could not do.

So in the end, France could only regret passing by the goddess of victory.

Although there are some regrets, Chirac has finally completed the deal, as long as the door is opened, Chirac believes that he can be inserted into the arms sales of the South China Sea countries, but Chirac does not know that the Soviet Union has included the South China Sea in its own arms dumping territory, just when everyone is focused on the war-torn Middle East, Yanayev has begun to use Vietnam as a starting point to sell to neighboring countries the foreign trade version of the "fortress system" jointly developed by himself and Japan.

"President Jacques Chirac has begun to relent, and the French ambassador to the Soviet Union has submitted to us this request for this secret visit, so I think there must be something else behind it." Shevardnadze handed this secret French application to Yanayev, and only Yanayev had the final say.

Yanayev opened the envelope and quickly scanned the information before he fell into deep thought. Yanayev's contemplation lasted far longer than the content of the letter, so much so that Ryzhkov and Shevardnadze could only stand where they were, waiting for further instructions from Yanayev.

"Comrade Ryzhkov." Yanayev suddenly opened his eyes, and he said to the chairman of the Council of Ministers in front of him, "If France and the Soviet Union cooperated, how likely would they be to swallow up most of Libya's oil fields?" ”

Ryzhkov paused for a moment, he hadn't thought much about this issue, but he still expressed his general opinion, "Now the Gaby oil field and Hussein oil field in the Karanshu Desert are in the hands of the Americans. The oil fields of Gaff, Mirbachi, and Zalatan were complicated, with both German infiltration and direct British control, and now it was not so simple for France to unite with the Soviet Union to bring down the oil revenues of other countries. Unless France is willing to continue to contribute money and efforts to stop the southward movement of Gaddafi's army. After the revolution in Tripoli, Gaddafi was entrenched in the southern cities. But that doesn't mean they won't fight back, and the one thing they want to see most is ......"

"Civil unrest in the opposition government?" Yanayev added the next sentence bluntly.

"Yes." Ryzhkov was opened to the conversation, and before he cautiously expressed his opinion, now it turned into a free play, "The temporary coalition government is only forced to unite because of the existence of the enemy Gaddafi, but once it controls a certain area, the conflict of interests between them is exposed." Moreover, there are many internal factions, so that if the interim government cannot conquer the vast majority of the main forces of the government army in Libya in a short time, it will be destroyed. ”

Gaddafi's army was stationed at the Kufra stronghold, ready to strike back at any moment. France is now far less enthusiastic about fighting Gaddafi than it was in the past, only carrying out precision-guided strikes against Gaddafi's army in the first three months of the Libyan civil war, and spending most of its time thereafter counting the agents who seized the oil fields, but did not make much profit. This is also why the anti-government forces did not end their war against the government forces in just one year, as in the civil wars in history.

"If we unite with France, Butifle will be the first line of action against the Kufra government, and the French will seize most of the oil fields from Hamra from north to south to Auvers." As a result, the situation in Libya is complicated. So we need a deposit from the French. ”

"Margin?" Ryzhkov did not quite understand what Yanayev meant.

"France will continue to carry out air strikes against government forces in Libya so that they do not have the strength to move north, which is one of the conditions of our cooperation." Yanayev affirmed.

As long as France can use air strikes to attack the armored forces and supply lines of the Libyan government army, then crossing the Karanshu desert is not the right choice, and the Libyan government army will have lost the combat capability of most of its army before it reaches the Butiful pool.

"Otherwise, don't blame the Soviets for selling their teammates. In the same way, we will move the offensive line of the Libyan army towards Sepkha and Vodan, breaking through the last line of defense of the anti-government coalition, and now what else do the French have, the audacity to bury their heads in the sand and pretend that the world does not exist. And there is one big investment in France that has not been thrown out of you, and that is the oil fields. Having so many oil fields now doesn't mean he doesn't need to maintain them, and many of them have temporarily eased the pressure on the fugitive because of financial problems. ”

Now that Yanayev has expressed it very clearly, there is no need for Ryzhkov to continue to dwell on it, and now the chairman of the Council of Ministers and the French prime minister have changed two real power figures, which is also to reflect the freedom of the socialist system.

"General Secretary Yanayev, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first." Shevardnadze knew that some of the next conversations were beyond the reach of a minister of his rank.

After Shevardnadze left the president's office, Yanayev proposed to Ryzhkov a viable plan for cooperation between the Soviet Union and France in Libya, according to which Yanayev made the noble Frenchman bow his head.

"I also trouble Comrade Ryzhkov to tell the French President during his possible visit that the Soviet Union can contain the interests that Britain and Germany want, but Chirac had better show me 100 percent sincerity in cooperation, and all betrayal of the Soviets will never be tolerated."
