Chapter 671: Furious
The second more
"Now give me the phone number of the deputy secretary of defense at once, I don't care where he is, I have to be there in half an hour to get to the White House. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Also, Director Tenet, send me all the information, I'm going to prepare for an emergency meeting after this meeting, what? What about Berger Advisors? And Ms. Madeleine, prepare for a possible trip to Europe in the near future. ”
The Pentagon's office was almost in chaos, and everyone looked at President Mario, who had an exasperated expression, and didn't know how to speak for a moment. Two hours earlier, the CIA had received information that the Soviet Union was about to deploy SS-N-21 cruise missiles in Romania, after which the news set the entire Pentagon on fire.
At first, Mario thought it was just some prank, who could believe that Romania, which had just been eye-to-eye with the Americans, had hooked up with the Soviet Union in the blink of an eye, and that it was the SS-N-21 Slingshot long-range cruise missile that had been feared by the INF Treaty that had been deployed by the Soviet army in Romania, needless to say that Yanayev was also a land-launched cruise missile improved from an air-launched or sea-launched version.
This time, Yanayev annoyed Mario completely.
"What is the Soviet Union trying to do? Create another Cuban missile crisis? Or do you want to provoke a third world war? And what exactly did Yanayev pour into the Romanian bunch of fools, and why were they able to change their minds in such a short time? President Mario slammed his fist on the table to show his anger.
Madeleine, who was sitting on the sidelines, shuddered, frightened by Mario's anger.
The Minister of Defense walked into the conference room in a hurry, and before he even took off his coat, he threw it on the table, and said angrily, "Just now, the NATO radar station detected that the last remaining Su-17M4 fighter unit of the Soviet Union in eastern Germany is heading for Romania, it seems that our intelligence is true, Yanayev's trip to Romania this time is really not so simple." ”
It is no wonder that after the World Bank issued a loan to Romania, Yanayev still did not cancel his visit to Romania, it turned out that the other party had already left a hand, waiting for President Mario to regret it.
Berger put his hands on the table, trying to keep his composure. The actions of the USSR in Romania already threatened the balance of power in the NATO army. He stood up and said to the noisy executives, "Be quiet for a while, and listen to me, guys." ”
The room fell silent, and all eyes were on the National Security Advisor, including President Mario. Berger coughed and said slowly, "Judging from the movements of the Soviet army, the possibility of Romania forming a missile military alliance with the Soviet Union has reached more than 90 percent, and the problem now is that we need to exert all kinds of diplomatic and political pressure to force the Soviet Union and Romania to cancel this military alliance." At the time of necessity, even NATO troops can be used to intervene by force, which is bound to strangle this plan to affect Europe in the cradle. ”
Berger's hands were propped up on the table, his lenses reflecting a dazzling glow in the light, making it difficult to see behind the lenses.
"You all know what it means if the Soviet Union succeeds in deploying a missile base in Romania, right? It is not only NATO's eastward expansion that is blocked, but it may threaten the strategic environment of Western Europe. For long-range missiles, they don't care at all what buffer space there is. ”
Madeleine snuffed out her cigarette butt and turned to President Mario and said, "My proposal is to immediately cut off the World Bank's dollar loan to Romania and freeze all foreign funding projects between European countries and Romania, and at the same time talk to Bucharest and the Kremlin to find out what they want." ”
"If Konstantinescu makes very excessive demands." Madeleine made a gesture to wipe her neck, "Then get rid of Romania." Diplomatic pressure, political pressure, economic blockade, military blockade if necessary, I don't believe that the Romanian army can defend itself against the victorious NATO joint combat forces? ”
As a strong diplomat, Madeleine will represent the United States at the Romanian Embassy in the United States and lodge a strong protest, including threatening the Romanian ambassador to the United States that the United States will take military action if Romania continues to cooperate with the Soviet Union.
"Romania is nothing more than a pawn of the Soviet Union, and more importantly, it is behind this secret affair. Obviously, there was negligence on the part of the Soviet Union in keeping secrets, and we were able to capture such important information. President Mario stood up and said to Secretary of Defense William Perry, "On the issue of military mobilization, I hope the U.S. military is ready." ”
"What do you mean?" William Perry didn't quite know what Mario was trying to say.
"War, war with the USSR. Minister William Perry. "We haven't experienced war for so long that we haven't been able to mobilize our troops in the first place when the enemy threatens us." ”
President Mario suddenly grabbed the Secretary of Defense by the shoulder, and he said word by word, "Now at this time, where are our naval fleets, our Air Force fighters, going?" If they don't put military pressure on Romania in the first place, they will think they have a chance, you know, Minister William Perry? ”
"Yes, Your Excellency." William Perry was stunned by Mario's gaze, straightened his tie, and began to state his plan, "We will send reconnaissance planes and fighter jets to patrol the Romanian airspace in the shortest possible time. Once the evidence is conclusive, Romanian airspace will become a no-fly zone. As soon as their air force takes off, NATO joint operations forces will shoot down. ”
"Then, through diplomatic pressure, Romania will abandon the project of cooperation with the Soviet Union to establish a missile base alliance, and under heavy pressure, the determined leaders will eventually give in."
William Perry whispered, "Of course, these assumptions were conceived without the intervention of the Soviet Union, so NATO, in addition to dealing with a Romanian, would have to mediate with the Kremlin so that it would not turn into a Cuban missile crisis." ”
With that said, William Perry set his sights on President Mario. At this time, only Mario can solve this problem.
Mario narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll take care of it myself from the Kremlin, you just have to do your own thing." (To be continued.) )
