Chapter 610: Wheels of Steel
The first update
It was not the fanciful threats that Yanayev said that determined the outcome of his trip to Bulgaria, but the failed experiment of Marshal Ogarkov's A135 ballistic missile interception. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The news of the failure of the info experiment was unswerving by the propaganda department, and almost overnight all the countries of Eastern Europe became aware of it. After the Soviet Ministry of Defense emphasized the failure of the interception system, the Eastern European countries, which are accustomed to backward thinking, wondered what kind of missile even the Soviet anti-missile system could not defend against.
Does the psychological shadow left by the Eastern European countries that are preparing to sign an anti-missile contract with the United States mean that even the anti-missile systems they deploy are also ineffective? Just when Europe was wondering, a special intelligence plan began to circulate among European intelligence services. The information in it is almost the information that the Soviet KGB wants to see for Western countries, including the exaggerated effect of Iskander, which can pass through any anti-missile interception.
When Stoyanov saw the news, Yanayev was also on a state visit to Bulgaria. He immediately remembered what Yanayev had said earlier about the neutralization of anti-missile missiles. Now he finally understands what anti-missile neutralization means.
It seems that what Yanayev said is not a lie. Stoyanov finally realized the seriousness of the matter. He must engage in a second dialogue with Yanayev in order to resolve the issue peacefully.
By the time Stoyanov summoned Yanayev for the second time, his expression had become very unnatural, but Yanayev's face had a "I know you'll regret it" expression. Yanayev had a chance to win this time, because Stoyanov didn't have any cards to play.
"President Stoyanov, I don't think there is anything left between us anymore, and this afternoon I will leave Bulgaria and go to Romania." Yanayev deliberately took a step back, saying that he had a tough attitude, and at the same time putting pressure on Stoyanov, telling the other side that if he wanted to continue the talks, he would have to give up cooperation on the anti-missile system.
"Now that you have begun to prepare to set up an anti-missile system on your own territory, I think the Soviet side must at least take the most basic countermeasures to ensure the security of our homeland, otherwise our allies will shake hands with us and put sharp knives against our throats, which will make the Soviet Union feel very unpleasant. I'm not addressing you personally, I'm saying that all the countries that deploy anti-missile systems in Eastern Europe are the subconscious enemies of the Soviet Union. ā
The corners of Stoyanov's mouth twitched, almost crying. Knowing that the Soviet Union had such missiles, he should not have acceded to President Mario's request in the first place. And Yanayev's words have already been placed here, and Stoyanov is faced with a dilemma.
"The premise of cooperation between Bulgaria and the USSR was that the other side abandoned the anti-missile system for the security of our homeland, otherwise the Soviet Union regarded Bulgaria as an enemy and deployed the anti-missile system in the border areas bordering it. to strike at the Bulgarian anti-missile system at the first time. In the event of a future war with the United States, any country with an anti-missile system will be regarded as an outpost for NATO forces to attack the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union will retaliate with nuclear annihilation. ā
Yanayev's tone became very harsh, and he was the first to make Romania and Poland realize one thing by slashing at his former communist partner. It is true that the Soviet Union's comprehensive influence capability is inferior to that of the United States, but its strategic deterrence capability can still make disobedient Eastern European countries torture and obey.
Stoyanov couldn't laugh at all, but luckily there weren't any reporters present, otherwise he would have recorded the Bulgarian president's look of fear and uncontrollable shiver.
Yanayev took a deep breath, it felt so good, just like when he tried to blackmail the leaders of the three Baltic countries. There is no need to use any intrigue at all, it is completely crushing in strength. They thought that the Soviet Union had been silent for too long and that it would no longer be the European steamroller it had been. But Yanayev told the other party with a crisp slap that not to mention Bulgaria, even if it is Romania and Poland, Yanayev's nuclear arsenal is very confident that it can wipe out the armies of the three countries three times with nuclear strikes, so that the three countries can completely turn into an Eastern European version of Chernobyl.
"Whether to live in peace with us or to bring about one's own demise is a question that President Stoyanov needs to think carefully."
Yanayev exhaled and said in a mocking tone, "Of course, the Soviet Union did not see any Eastern European countries as adversaries or enemies, we just need room for strategic development. Our enemy is on the other side of the English Channel, thousands of miles away, on the other side of the Atlantic. They have a war machine that is the size of all of Eastern Europe, and no one wants you to be used by them. ā
"So we will see any country that prevents our rise as an enemy of integration, whether it's NATO's eastward expansion or the Western world. The Soviet Union will destroy all those who stand in our way one by one, and it will never stop. ā
"The attack on the anti-missile system is only the beginning, and the next is the focus of our counterattack. The Soviet Union will reverse the passive situation in Eastern Europe and stop NATO's eastward expansion plan! ā
Stoyanov shook his head, still stubbornly speaking, "No one will want to return to the embrace of communism, and the Soviet counterattack is nothing more than pushing the Eastern European countries into the framework of NATO and the European Union." Hasn't General Secretary Yanayev seen this yet? You are already in a situation of rebellion, former allies have become current enemies, will the Soviet Union still have a chance to turn around? ā
To put it another way, almost all the former communist countries of Eastern Europe regarded the Soviet Union as an enemy, so how could Yanayev break through this confinement?
Yanayev scoffed at Stoyanov's statement, the rise of any country is on the dust of the old era, no one can really achieve a peaceful rise, the strength of the Soviet Union was killed by millions of Red Army troops with blood in the icy Stalingrad, in the streets of Berlin filled with the smoke of war, not a gift from others.
So Yanayev believes that offense is always the best defense.
He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but the rise of the Soviets never needed the sympathy of any country. We only speak with strength, and strength crushes everything. ā
"If any country has a problem with what we are saying, you can stand up and try it, and we will tell him what the wheel of steel is." (To be continued.) )
