Chapter 186: The American Red Neck Who Changed the Timeline (Part I)
The timeline of the 1992 change ushered in the first major change, and that was the election of the president of the United States. Although Bush is also actively seeking re-election, the failure of his diplomatic strategy in the past year has caused his popular support to lag far behind that of other candidates, and has completely drained the prestige that Bush has managed to accumulate in the Gulf War. Moreover, the continued sluggishness of the domestic economy has also made the people more and more dissatisfied with Bush.
The Vantaa incident, the Arctic Ocean crisis, and the Soviet public opinion offensive had a profound impact on President Bush, and some people even directly called him the biggest Communist Party member lurking in the United States and a traitor to the free world! The sharp decline in President Bush's popularity has also given the Democratic Party an opportunity, and they are actively seeking to run and prepare to defeat George W. Bush in the new presidential election. The Republicans have been in power for 12 years, and this time the Democrats are ambitious to defeat them and become the ruling party in one fell swoop.
This year's battle for donkeys and elephants is full of gunpowder, and every candidate is accumulating strength and preparing to ascend to the honorary throne of the president of the United States.
Mario? Guo Mo is undoubtedly the most popular candidate for the presidency of the Democratic Party, and compared with the other candidate for the party, Clinton, members of the Democratic Party are also optimistic about Mario far more than Clinton.
In this regard, the Soviet Union is also concerned about the future trend of the United States, and after the previous political incidents, it is impossible for Bush to be re-elected, and the Republican Party's position as a re-elected party is also in jeopardy. This has led to a group of Democratic candidates eager to win the presidential election.
To this end, Yanayev also specially summoned the director of the First Foreign Intelligence Service of the Soviet Union to analyze the strengths and weaknesses between Mario and Clinton from Chirkov, an American intelligence expert. Of course, Chirkov did not understand why Yanayev did not consult the relationship between Zongus and Mario. Instead, he asked directly about Clinton, who had a relatively weak competitive advantage.
Chirkov was summoned to Yanayev's office. No one was present for this conversation except the two of them. It can be said that there were secret talks between the general secretary and Chirkov.
"Generally speaking, Mario's advantage is far above Clinton, and his prestige and connections within the Democratic Party are far greater than Clinton's, and it can be said that as long as Mario is elected as the presidential candidate, then the probability of winning the competition with Bush will increase a lot."
Facing Yanayev alone, even Chirkov's hand, which had always been calm and steady, trembled slightly, and he tried to calm himself down. He continued, "On the one hand, Mario and Bush's campaign slogans are somewhat similar, almost both of them are making a fuss about foreign relations, trying to divert the sluggish domestic economy through the means of war. Clinton was the only one who came up with a campaign strategy focused on domestic issues. And this is also Clinton's advantage. ”
"Then it's dangerous." Yanayev is a little helpless, he has already changed the timeline of this world beyond recognition, but Mario actually put forward a campaign strategy for foreign policy, is he ignoring the bad economy at home?
"The general secretary also thinks there is a problem with the campaign slogans of Mario and Bush?" Chirkov highlighted a word also.
Yanayev nodded, and he drew a circle on Mario's photo. "Now that the U.S. economy is in a downturn, people's attention will naturally be on the economy. Whoever can give them bread will listen to him and vote for whomever he wants. Bush is so closely tied to the political donations behind him that it's not surprising that he would utter such a slogan, so what is Mario going to do? Without the backing of a financial owner like a defense company and an arms company, how can he be able to run for President Bush? ”
"The best outcome is nothing more than that Clinton is eliminated in the first round, leaving Bush and Mario to compete on the same stage, and the worst result is nothing more than that neither of them is Clinton's opponent, and the other side only took one round to knock both of them to the ground."
"So no matter how you look at it, the loser in this campaign is probably Mario." Chirkov's analysis is not far from Yanayev's speculation, and from a historical point of view, there are two most likely presidential candidates, Bush and Clinton. However, Clinton's voice in the later period was obviously much higher than that of Bush.
"I'd like to hear what your intelligence services think of Mario." Yanayev felt that no matter what way he was used, Mario's opportunity to come to power would pose a much less so-called threat to the Soviet Union to the external environment than Clinton. The economy at the time of Clinton's administration can be said to have taken off for eight years, laying the foundation for the subsequent US devil's claws sweeping to the world.
And the president, who likes to continue to use military force, although it seems to be cool for a while, will deal a heavy blow to the US economy in the long run, and this is also what the Soviet Union, which is engaged in economic construction with a healthy and boring mind, wants to see.
"Mario? Guo Mo, currently the governor of New York, likes to promote the Soviet threat theory and the suppression theory of European allies in foreign policy. The personality is relatively fiery, and the foreign policy views and methods are also more radical. All in all, it's more like a national dictator who wants to maintain the global interests of a great America. Judging by the campaign slogans he proposed, Mario may be a little more extreme than Bush's tactics. ”
It is precisely for this reason that he has always had a gap in the number of votes for his candidacy with Bush and Clinton, and his radical slogans have had no effect in a sluggish market. We suspect that this is also the reason why he has such a high voice in the party, but the actual number of votes lags behind. "Chirkov analyzed Mario's shortcomings and gaps for Yanayev.
Mario sounds like a copy of Trump, and he doesn't look like a politician who can improve relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, but Yanayev likes people like this, and since you can't bring the American economy out of the doldrums, then I'll be a driving force and push the American economy into the abyss. No matter how strong the economic strength of the United States is, it cannot withstand the war crusade that has lasted for many years. The Vietnam War almost plunged the United States into the abyss of economic collapse, and if it had not been for the Reagan administration's efforts to turn the tide, the United States would have lost its strength long ago.
Now the USSR had countless options in the Middle East, just waiting for the United States to jump in.
"That's him, the Soviet Foreign Intelligence Service is trying to put him on the right track for the presidency, and we need this cute redneck who likes to be aggressive to rule the United States. Will the FIA be able to find a way to change his competitive strategy? For example, to change to a slogan and strategy that is more in line with the national image? Since Americans like to hear about reviving the domestic economy, let Mario say some of their favorite slogans, Yanayev asked.
"Your Excellency the President, in fact, we do have a department in the United States that influences the final election of the president, they are investment groups set up in the United States, and after they find any potential objects, they will throw a lot of money into them to support them." Dyrkoff has studied American politics and presidential elections for more than ten years, so he knows the Americans very well. And the so-called investment group was also set up in the hands of Derkov, but he never had the opportunity to implement his means, and this time, Yanayev and his ideas finally coincided.
"Very well, we just need to tailor a campaign strategy for Mario, and then try to get Mario to agree to that strategy, and that's it." Yanayev patted Delkov on the shoulder and said with a smile, "This is a glorious and difficult task, Comrade Delkov." ”
"I will certainly live up to the expectations of the party and the country." Dyrkoff said excitedly.
"As long as we can be a supporter of Mario's political donations, our agents will have easy access to Mario himself, and when the time comes, they will be able to come up with a set of slogans and strategies that will make him feel excited. As for convincing Mario himself, it depends on the agent's ability, and as for whether Mario will successfully become the president of the United States in the end, it also depends on the will of the people. The most we can do is to do our best and know our destiny. ”
Yanayev was suddenly a little happy and a little puzzled, if the parliamentary election could be manipulated in this way, then the Soviet Union completely interfered with the presidential election by secret means by a narrow margin. So are George W. Bush and Obama really the biggest communist spies in the United States?
"I hope that this redneck can be elected president of the United States. Compared to Clinton, he is simply cute. (To be continued.) )
