Chapter 471: Surprise Visit

The second more

The news of the Soviet Union's sudden visit to Vietnam spread far and wide, and the Soviet Union, which has recently become more and more close to the Chinese side, has almost forgotten the existence of this little socialist brother before and after the saddle, and even the DPRK's sense of existence is much higher than that of Vietnam.

But he didn't know that the Soviet Union did not come to Vietnam this time to ask for warmth, but to come with a reproachful attitude of rejuvenating the teacher and asking for guilt, after all, France's small actions in Libya made Yanayev very unhappy, and then implicated the socialist followers who have recently had close relations with France.

Relations between the Soviet Union and Vietnam have been in a cold situation in recent years, and Le Duc Anh was originally resentful of the Soviet Union's sale of large cruisers to China, so when France threw an olive branch, he would not hesitate to take it. He believes that Vietnam during the period of reform and opening up should not take the declining Soviet Union as its goal, but should actively integrate with the rich countries of Southeast Asia.

And Yanayev will not care about the port of call of the Soviet fleet provided by Vietnam in Cam Ranh Bay and other issues, he only knows that the current Vietnam cannot break away from the Soviet Union, and without the protection of the Soviet Union, Vietnam can only be the fate of cannon fodder. The Western world? In the past example of the peaceful evolution of Eastern Europe, Vietnam did not dare to get too close to other countries, and Western countries only saw Vietnam as a pawn that could squeeze out its value.

That is why the Soviet Union could remain arrogant and domineering, but Vietnam could only bow its eyebrows and please. Without the support of the Soviet Union, Vietnam would not have been able to make any trouble. Under such circumstances, Yanayev met with Vietnamese President Le Duc Anh, and this time he did not come for a friendly visit, but came directly to ask for his guilt. Ask why they want to buy French ships. This is nothing short of a betrayal of socialism.

The sudden reproach made Chairman Li Deying pause. He did not understand why Yanayev would have lost his temper at him, and if it had not been for the sale of heavy cruisers by the USSR to the Chinese, there would not have been a rift in relations between Vietnam and the USSR.

Le Duc Ying's tone was a little gloomy, and there was a hint of threat in his tone, "I don't understand what Chairman Yanayev meant, since the Soviet Union sold heavy cruisers to the Chinese side, it means that it is financing Vietnam's enemies, and there is a limit to our patience with this kind of betrayal of our allies, don't forget that the Soviet Union's military ports in Southeast Asia are provided by Vietnam." Without Vietnam, the USSR did not even have a foothold in Southeast Asia! ”

"So what?" Yanayev said unhurriedly, "So you are now preparing to find another powerful French ally to squeeze the Soviet Union out of Southeast Asia?" You have a lot of courage and courage, President Le Duc Anh, but have you ever thought that without the support of the Soviet Union, what achievements would Vietnam have achieved? ”

Le Duc Anh crossed his legs and replied unhurriedly, "We are not a member country of the Soviet Union, and the future of Vietnam is decided in our hands!" ”

"But the Soviet Union still has a chance to influence the future of Vietnam, do you believe it?"

Yanayev came to this sentence coldly, which made the Vietnamese chairman feel a little ridiculous, the Soviet Union has a influence on the future of Vietnam? What qualifications did the USSR have? The Pacific Fleet far away in the Far East? After the military base in Cam Ranh Bay was withdrawn, the Soviet Union would no longer have this midway ship supply line.

Chairman Lai Duc Ying is a smart person, and it is a mistake to put some things on the table openly, just let the other party understand what he means. However, it would be embarrassing for both parties to say it.

But Yanayev didn't seem to care about Le Deying's threat at all, and he just said slowly, "What if the new friend of the Soviet Union in Southeast Asia is Cambodia?" ”

Cambodia? Li Deying's eyes widened, as if he was reminded of a painful memory by Yanayev.

In 1978, the Vietnamese army concentrated on 18 army divisions, 15 regiments, and 1 aviation division, with a total strength of more than 200,000 troops, to launch a full-scale invasion of Cambodia. In 1988, the Soviet Union's own economic deterioration stopped aiding Vietnam, and at this time, Vietnam's economic growth was sluggish due to the perennial war, and inflation reached 1,000% in 1988 alone, and finally under heavy economic pressure, it had to suspend its war of aggression against Cambodia.

At that time, the Soviet Union also spent a lot of financial resources in financing Vietnam, and the Cambodian-Vietnamese War was basically an out-and-out proxy war under the confrontation between China and the Soviet Union, and a miniature version of the war to smash the Soviet Union's strategic encirclement of China. The Chinese side has always regarded the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan and the urging of Vietnam to withdraw its troops from Cambodia as one of the basic conditions for the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations. Yanayev also took advantage of the flattening of Soviet-Vietnamese relations, the large-scale disarmament of the Far East, and aimed the two sides at the United States, so that Sino-Soviet relations became friendly.

Moreover, the Cambodian-Vietnamese War was also a huge drain on the Soviet Union, which spent at least 3 million rubles a day in Afghanistan, Vietnam and other places. The huge economic burden still haunts the Soviet Union, and now Yanayev has concentrated his main energy on the oil-rich Middle East, ruthlessly plundering the wealth of the Middle East world, and no longer has the energy to dream of strategically encircling China.

"Relations between Vietnam and Cambodia haven't improved much since 1989, right?" "Of course, Vietnam can sever relations with the Soviet Union and take back the naval base in Cam Ranh Bay, but don't forget that Cambodia also has a bay, and in addition to Vietnam, we have many options in the South China Sea." I don't think Cambodia will reject the enemy of the enemy. ”

Yanayev blocked Li Deying with nothing to say in one sentence, and it is true that in the face of political interests, all hatred can be put aside. Now Vietnam is facing the deep waters of reform and opening up, and if the Soviet Union stabs Vietnam in the back at this time, it will either be half dead or half disabled. Moreover, Li Deying believes that the Soviet Union is serious, and after learning the lesson of the failure of armed subversion during the Cold War, they have been able to use all kinds of bloodless means to cripple a country, and Libya and Iraq are the best proof of this.

Lai Duc Ying does not want to follow in the footsteps of Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi.

Li Deying couldn't understand the movements of the Soviet Union, his throat was a little dry, he coughed, and asked with some difficulty, "So what does Chairman Yanayev want to express?" ”

Seeing that the Vietnamese president finally relented, Yanayev raised his eyelids and stared at Vietnamese President Le Duc Anh, staring at the other party's hair.

"I heard you're planning to make a military deal with France recently?" (To be continued.) )
