Chapter 541: New Chips
The first update
Everything went according to Yanayev's script, and the KGB intelligence agents in Hakkari intercepted information that Öcalan was preparing an armed insurrection. The pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info immediately fed back the situation to Chairman Kryuchkov, and when Kryuchkov received the information, he was secretly relieved, but then he became nervous again. The fact that the KGB had confirmed the information about the insurrection was even more suggestive that Öcalan had come to a united front with the CIA, and that the current military junta regime formed by Maziel was in a state of flux.
First, the old political foxes belonging to the Demirel and Erbakan factions have not yet been cleaned up, and after removing these obstructive chess pieces, the power vacuum left behind needs to be quickly promoted and replaced. All of this requires Mazyel to be deployed in the shortest possible time, after all, the enemies of the Turkish government do not have that much time for him to prepare.
Second, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has been splitting in the southeastern provinces, also intends to take advantage of the political purge carried out by the army to target the bases where the troops are stationed in the southern provinces of Turkey. Although the Kurdish fighters did not have advanced armored units, they had a bunch of weapons backed by the United States and the Soviet Union, ready to wage guerrilla warfare.
When Yanayev got the information, he did not have Kryuchkov's nervousness and worry, and his brows that had been twisted into knots were also relaxed, for Yanayev, this information was equivalent to a shot in the arm for Shevardnadze, whose negotiations were at an impasse. At the same time, it could also be one of the most important bargaining chips in the fight for Maziel.
He immediately called Foreign Minister Shevardnadze, who was still negotiating in Ankara, just as the trilateral talks reached an impasse. The United States, the Soviet Union, and Turkey refused to back down. The talks were deadlocked in this way for several days, but with this information, the balance of victory once again tipped in the direction of the Soviet Union. Yanayev will eventually win this silent war in an unexpected way.
"There is still such a deal between the CIA and the Kurdistan Workers' Party? God, that's enough to embarrass that wicked old witch of Madeleine one more time. I think we have won, General Secretary Yanayev. Shevardnadze was eager to see what Madeleine's expression would look like next.
Yanayev reminded him that "no one can guarantee that they will be the winner until the end." I need you to concentrate and deliver the killer blow. Let the United States not be able to turn over its cards at the negotiating table! Yanayev's gaze became gloomy, and he was eager to see the look on the face of the U.S. government, which he considered unlucky.
"I see, General Secretary Yanayev. I'll entertain this Iron Lady. ”
After Shevardnadze hung up the phone, he hummed a little song happily, the information came very timely, he was supposed to attend the third round of negotiations in ten minutes, and continued to stall until the Moscow top brass found a winning strategy.
These days, he has put up with this woman who talks about the supremacy of American interests every day. The tactics are tough but not tactful enough, and they still lose slightly against the old fox Shevardnadze.
"Dear Secretary of State, I hope you will not be intimidated by the sheer efficiency of the KGB." Shevardnadze straightened his tie and walked towards the conference hall. Slowly, smiling, like an elegant aristocrat, he stepped into the tense atmosphere of the conference room. Maziel and Madeleine set their sights on him at the same time. Madeleine's eyes, in particular, were full of resentful malice.
But then she smiled with relief, because the United States had new bargaining chips. Kurdistan Workers' Party. She has already received intelligence information from the White House that the leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, Öcalan, has agreed to the CIA's proposal to unleash a riot in the southeastern region of Turkey. Langley, who was behind the scenes, naturally hoped that the Kurdistan Workers' Party riots could be used to force Maziel into submission. At that time, the United States will be able to openly blackmail Mazyel.
Thinking of this, Secretary of State Madeleine smiled proudly, she looked at Shevardnadze with defiant eyes, but saw that the other party also had an inexplicable smile on his face.
Madeleine was stunned for a moment, she didn't know what Shevardnadze's smile meant.
"Did the Soviets see through my hole cards? Impossible, a secret agreement reached only two days ago, how could the USSR receive the news so quickly. Or is Shevardnadze just bluffing and he has no cards left in his hand? ”
Thinking of this, Madeleine calmed down and reviewed the previous details, she was more sure of her thoughts. There was no way back for the Soviet Union, and Shevardnadze's calmness was only superficial. As long as the United States continues to press at the negotiating table, Maziel will only end up capitulating to the United States.
On the other side of the table, Maziel found himself unable to get into the-for-tat between Madeleine and Shevardnadze. Originally, they wanted to get the maximum political profit from their demands, but they didn't expect Shevardnadze and Madeleine to carry it until the third round without putting forward conditions, just constantly testing each other's bottom line. In Mazier's view, both sides seem to be stalling for time, waiting for something.
Turning his attention to the meeting, Maziel told Secretary of State, "There doesn't seem to be much progress on the third round of negotiations, so let's do it another way, Secretary Madeleine." I would like to take the liberty of asking, what kind of conditions will the United States and the Soviet Union put forward? ”
Madeleine didn't speak, she wasn't sure if what Maziel said was a trap. So the blame was shifted to Shevardnadze
Madeleine said slowly, "I think the Soviet side has more say on this issue." After all, didn't you spend a lot of blood to win over and overthrow the Turkish regime? ”
Shevardnadze said confidently, "The Soviet Union has always done things with a clear conscience, and we just want to resolve the Black Sea dispute as soon as possible?" How? Are Americans all villains who say one thing and do another? Oh, it's wrong, the United States is originally a villain who says one thing and does another. ”
Shevardnadze's gaze sharpened, and he still had that kind smile, but what was said made Madeleine want to kill him.
"Remember the Yugoslav problem? Ms. Madeleine. You are the one who actively urged the president to punish Slobodan Milosevic with Tomahawk cruise missiles at the United Nations delegates, and Bosnia and Herzegovina would have been scorched if it were not for the Soviet Union's fierce opposition? You are also the same American official at the United Nations who suggested the bombardment of Serb positions in Bosnia and Herzegovina with air strikes. At that time, Newsweek was titled "Winter Lioness", and at the beginning of the article, you will be called a war woman, right? The article recounts the crimes of a certain iron-faced Mario Cabinet pro-war faction: trying to get the first war in 50 years; the UN Secretary-General ousted him because he was unwilling to give in to the demands of the United States; Talking about the behavior of countries on both the left and the right. ”
Shevardnadze took a deep breath and questioned word by word, "Don't you dare to point fingers at them and say that they must act according to the will of the United States?" So now, in front of the representatives of another superpower, do you dare to repeat those words to us? ”
Shevardnadze's voice was not loud, but his tough attitude made Madeleine's face change instantly. The corners of her mouth twitched, trying to retort. But it lost to the toughness of Shevardnadze's representatives.
The tough attitude at the negotiating table comes from the strong comprehensive strength of the country behind him. Madeleine dared to point fingers in front of small countries, but she did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the Soviet Union.
In other words, the secretary of state conceded.
And Shevardnadze finally took off the mask of hypocrisy at this moment, revealing his hideousness as a politician. He threw a document on the negotiating table, and then said to Maziel beside him, "General, I think that by reading this document, you will better understand what kind of femme fatale monster the woman on the other side of the negotiating table is.
