Chapter 888: The Fear of a Nuclear Threat
Earthquakes from Azerbaijan, the Kazakh region and Novaya Zemlya shook the world. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEveryone knows that these three sites were once Soviet nuclear weapons test sites, but they were almost abandoned after 1991. The latitude and longitude, which had been silent for many years, was once again felt with a familiar tremor, and everyone knew the severity of the situation. I'm afraid that the Kremlin's group of lunatics are finally ready to do it impatiently, and the nuclear weapon test is just a precursor, and the real killing machine is still to come. When they realized that the Soviet Union had gone crazy and was desperate, showing the red-eyed state of blocking and killing, if the United States dared to stop them again, maybe there would really be a fireworks feast all over the world.
Once a mountain of nuclear weapons is exploded, the world will cease to exist.
The polar bear, whose brain has long been paralyzed by alcohol, has frightened Washington, and President Mario hastened to call an emergency meeting to summon all the high-ranking people to the Pentagon.
Within an hour, the sporadic parking lots were filled with high-rise cars of all kinds, and the political elite in suits made their way to the assembly floor. The people who walked into the Pentagon without exception had gloomy faces. They were filled with a vague sense of uneasy fear of what would happen next.
The nature of this event was worse than any before, and the axis of motion had reached the point of world war, and no one could sit idly by. Defense Minister Perry bore the brunt of the pressure, realizing that the presence of NATO troops in Lukzh had stirred Yanayev's nerves and even stimulated the group of people who didn't want to die. In the case of losing their minds, they dare not guarantee that the other party will do something crazy.
A mushroom cloud rises from all the important cities of the entire North American continent? This thought flashed through his mind, and he felt afraid, if this is the case, that is the beginning of the extinction of human civilization.
This is the first time that we have faced such a worldwide political crisis, and the situation that affects the whole body has almost left both countries feeling helpless.
When he got on the elevator, Minister William's hands trembled a little, and he remembered that almost all previous defense ministers had encountered such political crises.
Hopefully, as usual, there will be a thrilling end.
He muttered silently.
Mario sat quietly in his seat, he was now under more pressure than anyone else, the Soviet Union had made desperate crazy moves, French President Jacques Chirac had urgent consultations with Mario, although he was not a NATO ally, but France, which had a certain say on the European continent, did not want to see a big war break out that would destroy the world.
"NATO allies must stop playing ridiculous tricks in Romania unless you are willing to see a nuclear winter coming. Now there is still the possibility of negotiation and maneuvering between the Soviet Union and the United States, and if you are insane, France will also intervene in the mediation by force. ”
This is the first time since the de Gaulle government that such a strong statement has been made. Chirac, who was torn between the United States and the Soviet Union and tied certain interests to both sides, was anxious at this time. The Union for the Mediterranean has tied the two sides to the same line, and it is not in his interest who wins or loses in the Romanian dispute. We can only stop or slow down the pace of war as much as possible.
"President Mario, President Mario? The meeting can begin. ”
The White House chief of staff coughed lightly and signaled for the president to begin an emergency meeting.
President Mario looked up and said slowly, "I think you know what happened, the Soviet Union conducted three nuclear tests. respectively in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Novaya Zemlya. And at the same time. ”
The silence in the room was awkward, and Secretary of Defense William looked at President Mario with a look that should have been done a long time ago, with a hint of schadenfreude at his adventurous actions. Originally, he had said that the United States should not show a threatening posture too soon, and now the polar bear, which is stimulated, will definitely start a war at all costs.
"I think there's room for manoeuvre, and they're doing nuclear tests just to warn us, but they don't pose any real threat to our every move. It can even fight back and let them know that NATO troops are not people who can be scared by a nuclear bomb. ”
Mario motioned for William Perry to listen to himself before commenting, "The second bad news is as severe as the first, and if it can't be dealt with, it is very likely to turn into the Cuban Missile Crisis." The Castro government procured a batch of Kalibr missiles, the Mob M-class missile boats and the Kilo-class submarines from the Soviet Union. ”
Siege Wei to save Zhao.
As Yanayev, who has brought the conspiracy of the 36 plans to the extreme, he will certainly not forget that Cuba, a small country with an area of less than 110,000 square kilometers, is a big problem for the United States. Castro survived multiple CIA assassinations, but still firmly held power in this island country.
Mario wants to pay a foot to Romania, and he is ready to go back on Cuba. If the other side sent a fleet to blockade the country, Yanayev sailed his army into Romanian territory, creating a confrontation between Bucharest and Lukezh. He didn't care about magnifying the seriousness of the whole thing, and only when the fundamental interests of the Americans were shaken would Washington become nervous.
"First nuclear deterrence, and then missile trafficking to stimulate the nerves between Cuba and the United States, it seems that Yanayev has long been prepared to coerce the United States into concessions, but the previous performance was too realistic, making people think that the Soviet Union was just the end of the crossbow."
Mario sneered and said to everyone, "You still underestimate Yanayev's methods to lead to the current situation. The other party had already calculated the next few steps, and was waiting for us to jump inside. Now that you're trapped, is there still a chance to come out? Perhaps there are a few other steps waiting for them to jump into, and we cannot deny that the Kremlin is much smarter than we are in this matter. So much so that no one will be able to see through each other's attempts. ”
"From the very beginning Yanayev wanted to expand the incident, let's focus all our attention on the Romanian issue, and then the intensification of the conflict and further escalation. What now? Congratulations to him for getting his wish, and once the United States has put all its attention here, we will either risk nuclear war to carry the confrontation to the end, or we will go back and solve the Cuban problem with both hands. ”
"Maybe the other side just wants to push us back to the negotiating table for negotiations?"
National Security Adviser Berger asked rhetorically, "It is not in anyone's interest for Romania to really go to a confrontation between the two sides, but if Yanayev is only doing everything to get priority at the negotiating table, then there is room for manoeuvre in the outcome of the whole affair." Nor could they afford to risk a nuclear war for the sake of a Romanian, which was too cost-effective. ”
"In this case, the attitude of the Soviet Union can only be tested through Secretary of State Madeleine."
"We may be able to back down half a step and negotiate with the Soviet side, or we can think of a way, maybe things will turn around, and Moscow may not be able to withstand the pressure, if they give up first, we will win......
"Have you seen them give up in every confrontation?"
Mario, who was silent, suddenly erupted and slammed his fist on the table, shaking even the heavy wooden planks slightly. Everyone is frightened by Mario's sudden anger. What had been a private discussion fell silent.
Everyone is waiting for President Mario's next step.
He pondered for a long time, and finally took a deep breath and said to everyone present, "Block the Gulf of Mexico first, and then we will make a decision after there is news about the next step in the Kremlin negotiations." Now give me a call from the Secretary of State, and I have something important to share with her. ”
Madeleine, who was resting in the hotel, had not yet slept, and after receiving a call from President Mario, she immediately reported the situation to the White House.
"The Soviets have not made much of a breakthrough now, and they are not willing to make the slightest concession on the Romanian issue, so I suggest that the NATO coalition forces test the pressure again, at least to extend the bombing to the southern part of Romania, and force Yanayev to make concessions......"
The voice on the other end of the line looked helpless, "No, Secretary Madeleine, I can't agree to your request. ”
"Why?"
Madeleine said indignantly, "Shall we just let the other party go on like this?" ”
"It's not that we don't agree with you, it's that now we can't irritate the USSR anymore. Just now intelligence showed that Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Novaya Zemlya were conducting nuclear tests at the same time, and now the USSR is threatening us to abandon the original plan. We can't afford to let the problems and risks go on and out of control, a devastating war will come to us, and the Soviet Union has just agreed to an arms sale with the Cuban government, and Yanayev is ready to set another fire in the backyard of the United States, you know what I mean? ”
After a long silence, Madeleine spoke slowly.
"I understand."
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Madeleine had no choice but to be obedient.
"At the negotiating table we can make appropriate concessions, and the best outcome is to get a state where the two regimes are side by side, so that we have a chance to breathe. If it really doesn't work, NATO will carry out a final military strike......"
"In short, stabilize the Soviet Union, and wait until we have rectified NATO before trying to plan the next step."
Krenz is a thorn in his heart, and if he doesn't pull it out early, he is always worried that it will affect his next actions.
No matter how resentful the Kremlin is, it can only be tolerated.
"I see."
"When all this is over, I will let the Kremlin pay it back in lump sum." (To be continued.) )
